    Excuse me if I didn't post this to the exact newsgroup for my ISP does not carry
    'alt.cellular.bluetooth '.

    I've been noticing a serious problem with the headset profiles on several/all Nokia mobile phones
    for many years now.

    But recently to my great disappointment,, this problem has also been apparent in some of the latest
    sony-ericsson mobile phones like the 3G Z1010 and the S700i.
    I just bought a Z1010.

    Here's the problem, after a call has ended, the phone does not disconnect from the headset.
    Pressing the button on the headset once also does not initiate a disconnection.

    With the headset and phone maintaining a 'constant' connection with each other, this kills the
    battery on the headset within a day (even if the headset is brand new). In other words, it's almost
    as good as 'continuously talking' on the headset. The battery on the phone is not an issue.
    Not only that, with the headset and phone being connected, one is unable to use other bluetooth
    devices with the phone (e.g PDA internet surfing or SMS, PC sync/object push, phone->phone sharing
    of files/pics with friends via bluetooth).

    I'm using a Jabra 250 with my Sony-Ericsson Z1010. I'm having this problem and it's very irritating.
    The problem also appears even if an ericsson headset is used with it.
    I've never had this problem with my jabra/T39m, T68 & T610, Z600.

    The only solution is to manually off and on the headset or to disconnect the headset via the phone
    menu/s. On an average I receive like 30-50 calls a day. This can be very irritaing/unproductive to
    do a manual disconnection after every call.

    What's even more irritating is, some ericsson support staff insisted that this was 'feature' of the
    phone. That you have to manually disconnect the headset/phone by using the procedure I described
    above which I already knew a long time back. Great feature!
    Ericsson has not released an updated firmware for the Z1010 yet. I hope that fixes the problem if it
    is ever released.


    But I'm even more surprised, I don't see this problem reported much/at all among users. Even with a
    google groups search.

    Is it because that most users have come to think that this is the 'norm' for headsets?

    Re: 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

    I use a 6600, firmware version 5.27 and a Sony Ericsson HBH-660 headset. I
    can use this headset for 3 days before I need to charge it again.
