One XL 8.010

I recently updated to version 8.010 & now bluetooth doesn't seem to work.

I unpaired my phone from my tomtom & now am trying to re-pair it. I clicked on "manage phones" and told it to search for phones, but it doesn't find it - or the half-dozen other BT-enabled phones in the room.

In fact, the BT indicator on my phone used to turn white when the tomtom was querying it (ie for traffic or whatever), but now nothing happens.

So it appears that the tomtom is not even sending out a BT signal.

How can I check if this is true or not? If it's true, how can I fix it?

(yes, BT is enabled on both the phones & the tomtom - I've even rebooted them all; still no joy)

OK, this is stupid. My phone mysteriously hid itself from bluetooth - it wasn't visible. However, my husband's phone was visible, but still the TT couldn't see it.

I turned on visibility on my phone & voila, the TT could see it AND my husband's phone (which makes no sense, but there it is).

I finally got it re-paired.

Thanks, anyway. Sorry for the false alarm.

But I am still curious - how can you tell if a device *is* actually sending out a BT signal??
