Free For All: Instant Discoverable Bluetooth for Windows Mobile
Introduction
While I love Windows Mobile, the operating system does have a few annoying quirks. Of these, one that always got to me in the past was after engaging Bluetooth, the need to jump all the way into settings to set it as discoverable. Let’s face it, Bluetooth that isn’t discoverable is hard to work with at times. Enter a very small, simple utility created by XDA-Developers forum member “Aqrab”.
Installation
First, once you’ve downloaded the file from the post, extract it’s contents on your device. Next your favorite file manager to manually move the DLL file to /Windows. Please the second file anywhere you like. I recommend creating a shortcut and pinning it to your Start Menu.
Usage
When ready to engage Bluetooth, follow the shortcut or tap directly on the program in a file browser. Instant Bluetooth, instantly discoverable. Brilliant. Tap it once more, Bluetooth is toggled off. I
highly recommend this simple utility. In terms of size, you’ll hardly even know it was installed. In terms of functionality, it could save you many repetitive steps and aggravation.

How about that. SPB Mobile Shell includes that and I don’t even remember it being mentioned in any reviews.
It has a “widget” that looks like a switch and it toggles bluetooth and your phone off and on. When you toggle bluetooth on it asks “do you want Invisible or Discoverable?”
I guess it’s a pretty cool feature.
