Flightmode destroys bluetooth...

When I put my phone in flightmode and the bluetooth is on something strange happends. As I put the phone back on the bluetooth doesn't work. That means that everytime I go into a meeting and put my phone in flightmode I have to restart the phone in order to get my headset to work. I've heard of several people having the same problem with the P800 but have anyone else had it with a P900??

i only found out last night when i put the phone into flight mode for the first time that my bluetooth was turned off too, but i don't have any problems with using it after it comes off bluetooth though, although i had this problem with the p800 when after long periods of time, when i searched for other bluetooth devices, it wouldn't find them unless i restarted my phone, maybe it's something similar to that?

Yes this is suppose to happen. When yo put your phone on flight mode it turns off all forms of wireless communication to not affect any other equipment. This is also normal of the P800. There is nothing wrong with your phone. Even I.R. is turned off.

I know that the phone is should turn off all forms of radio communicaiton when in flight mode. The problem is when I quit flight mode and set it back to phone on the blue tooth doesn't work as it should. I see the bluetooth icon and the blue light blinks, but there's no way of getting it to work with my bluetooth headset unless I reboot the phone...
