Bluetooth headset constant connection

Dillon??

Don't know whether this will help, but....

I had a 6310i, and used along with a Jabra BT200. Was able to use the two
all day long, making and receiving NUMEROUS calls, and no real battery
drain. I merely charged the two at the end of the day, as a matter of
course.

Moved up to the 3650. Again, no problem.

Got a 6600. Nice phone BUT.... :-( By mid-day, the Jabra BT200 was
screaming out for food (needed recharging), and by mid afternoon the 6600
was running low on power rapidly. I found that I was only get about 30 mins
(top whack) use from the Jabra, before it needed "food"! :-)

Contacted Jabra, and they claimed (with an official statement) that the
power drain was "due to the Nokia 6600 not going into "sniff mode", the
channel is always active, and connected". This is NOT to say that the voice
line was open all the time. The calls would disconnect and initiate as they
should. It was the Bluetooth channel that was remaining open.

Moved up to the 6230 Nokia.

I receive NUMEROUS calls, and make a number of calls throughout the day.
With the BT200 and the N6230 connected, NEITHER of them are crying out to be
charged at the end of the day.

I merely charge the pair overnight, as a matter of course.

So, after boring everyone to bits!! Your problem "may" be due to your phone,
and BT keeping the "channel" open.

With regard to "when the headset is connected I cannot connect other devices
with Bluetooth". I think this is the "norm", in as much as only one
bluetooth connection open at a time (I have the same "problem" in not being
able to
connect my laptop/Palm whilst the headset is connected).

Hope this may help.

Cheers
