I and another user cannot turn on Bluetooth on our A22 (mine) and A75 (his) backs. When we select Setup/Wireless/Activation/On we get the message "The imaging module cannot change the Wireless status. Failed to initialize Bluetooth communication."On the Leaf forum, Leaf suggest the backs should be sent for repair but do not seem to know what would need repair. Another contact has said that Bluetooth cannot be turned on if you have upgraded the software in the back with that supplied with LC 11.2 and above. That is, WiView will only work with the software that is downloaded with LC 11.1 and lower.This does not sound correct to me because I was using WiView on my A17 with LC 11.2.4, which is the same software that I tried to use with my A22 but without success. If I downgrade to LC 11.1, it will not work with MacOS X 10.6.It would be great to know:Whether others have got "The imaging module cannot change the Wireless status. Failed to initialize Bluetooth communication." message and whether they were able to fix the situation and turn on Bluetooth (and how they did it and what version of LC did they use); andWhether any users have been able to turn on Bluetooth on their backs using LC 11.2 and later.Thank you Roger
Hi Roger,we always work tethered, so we do not have any experience using Bluetooth, but it just tried, it can be activated on the touchscreen, showing the blue icon at the border.Backs are A75S / A22, in use with LC11.2.8 on OSX10.5Cheers, Ulf
The latests firmware for your back came with 11.2.4. If the BT module doesn't switch on then it may well be at fault and will need to be repaired. Best is to contact your dealer or to submit a support case hereBRYair
Here's another version:"Leaf stopped the Bluetooth option in later models for a number of reasons; 1. HP IPAQ is no longer manufactured2. The Aircraft grade aluminium used to make the chassis reduced the effective operation of the Bluetooth3. Built in screen made it virtually redundant."This is from a European dealer.So, what is the correct story, Yair? Are all Aptus backs WiView compatible or not?To me, with my Flexbody, the WiView feature is what sets the Aptus backs on a higher pedestal than the others.Roger
Is Leaf working on releasing the WiView for windows?
As of right now i am going to get me a MBP for that apple only-firewire port with enough juice to supply the back with power. PCMCIA/express cards apparently only supply 500MA/6W. So windows laptop for leaf is a non-starter.
From the looks of the WiView app (based on theuser guide) and it looking so much like the actual back interface, the leaf must be pocket-pc based as well. Just an observation...
NoYou can use a powered repeater such as the one provided by Leaf with the same power supply that came with your chargerDon't need to guess too much, there's a sticker at the bottom of the back that says Win CE
I switched it on mine yesteday just for kicks. I have nothing to connect to.Is Leaf working on releasing the WiView for windows? I am sure more and more windows laptops have bluetooth. If the code base is windows-like, maybe a porting job from pocket-pc would not be too great?

So, Mark, were you able to turn on the Wireless module? [Setup/Wireless/Activation/On]It does not matter that you have nothing to connect to. The module should turn on and off as you command.Roger
yes ...
