Bluetooth Question 6230

Have a 6230 and a "Supertooth" portable hands-free for the car which
runs on Bluetooth. I leave my phone constantly in "recieve" mode
through the connectivity menu. My battery is now draining much quicker
than before.

Is this because the constant reveive for Bluetooth uses juice or is my
battery stuffed? The phone is less than 6 months old.

Thanks.

Recent batteries should normally be good for 700 or so charges before
they show signs of wearing out. Your experience is almost certainly a
result of having bluetooth permanently on, which reduces battery life
by around 30%.

Hi,
Your not just receiving, you are also transmitting with bluetooth.

This will have the effect of puting more load on ya battery, and will
drain it quicker.
