Date identified	July 4, 2007

Detailed description	The header file "btserversdkcrkeys.h" includes Central Repository keys for controlling the Bluetooth power state. However, setting the power state to EBTPowerOn does not switch Bluetooth on even though the status icon indicates that it is activated.
How to reproduce	CRepository* cenRep = CRepository::NewLC( KCRUidBluetoothPowerState ); TInt state, err = KErrNone; cenRep->Get( KBTPowerState, state ); if( state == EBTPowerOff ) { err = cenRep->Set( KBTPowerState, EBTPowerOn ); } CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // cenRep
Solution	Use the Bluetooth Notifier API to switch Bluetooth on.
