It seems I have some kind of pre- installed bluetooth thing called Ad- hoc Bluetooth PAN - that I can't delete in the internet accounts. And it keeps trying to open a connection, presumably by scanning the area. Even when Bluetooth is disabled.

It sort of looks like it's somehow connected to the internet accounts, and that it starts every time the phone wants a data- connection out. But that's just a guess.

Any ideas about what this is, or how to fix it?

Does noone else have this bluetooth thing in their connections? With greyed out options, and so on?

@Nipsen

Seeing as no one has answered you the best i can suggest is go read the P900 threads as i remember reading this was a problem also with the P990. I can't remember if their was as solution or not but good luck.

Of course a master reset should sort it....

No.

Master reset doesn't sort it out.

Its a problem in P990/M600/W950, and I believe its back again to P1, and most probably will be to W960.

Completely sick of SE I should say...

These phones don't exhibit this problem out of the box (and mine still doesn't over a week later) so how will a master reset not cure it? Doesn't that take the phone back to factory settings?

No, it's definitively like this out of the box. But I have no idea what it's for, except for promoting my BT nick to every laptop in range. Or if it perhaps drains the battery. Or if it's a security problem, if it's possible to open a connection from the outside in some way.

..it's not exactly the worst thing I've seen, though, when it comes to undocumented mobile phone 'features'.
