Hi Guys,
I have an 8125 from Cingular, which I believe is identical to the Wizard. I just took a long trip in my car and had the phone connected through bluetooth to the car. The battery drained in about 12 hours with only a few calls. When I have BT on, but not connected to the car, it lasts a lot longer. Is that normal? What should the battery life be with BT on and connected?

I have my XDAII cradled, and every now and then it will emit a small 'dup' and show the 'GPRS' symbol. Every hour or so, sometimes two or thee times with a minute or so in between.
Familiar to anyone?
Peter, I also see this hapoen as well, Also when i plug in the TomTom car lead and the same happens, it says its connected over serial to activesync and the GPRS symble shows up, the car radio crackles as ir dose when there is a GPRS connection running,

Has anybody out there tried using the scripts in this software to turn on Bluetooth when a call is received and off again when the call is finished.
I don't have a Bluetooth headset at the moment so I have no idea if the Bluetooth connection is established fast enougth, but if did, then it would be a good way of preserving battery power.
Hi Paul,
I see what you are saying however when using a BT headset the headset initiates the connection to the phone when it is switched on which means when you switch back on BT on the phone it won't initiate a connection to the headset. In this case you would need to either power on (assuming it's off) the headset or press one of the headset keys which might be enough to make the connection.
However the BT power consumption on modern phones is minimal and you probably only gain about 30 mins max extra standby time by switching BT off.

I just got my Cingular 8525 2 weeks ago and I hate the BT that is loaded on the phone. It takes me like 10 min just to try an connect to my Headset. I have to keep refreshing the connection and the headset rarely connects with voice calls. Is their anything i can do to fix this???
Hi,
i have phonealarm. Phonealarm can turn on bluetooth on incoming call. this save battery.
my td2 take about 30 seconds to connect to my seecode car handsfree.
my old touch cruise connected in 5-10 seconds.
30 seconds is to slow for the incoming call.
is there any way to speed up the bluetooth connect?
regards
lars

Can't answer that, but can report that leaving Bluetooth enabled all the time doesn't have a serious impact on battery life. I use Bluetooth for music, and when I turn on my Sony HBH DS-200 it connects immediately even with the TD2 in standby. Try it, nothing to lose.
Hello,
I had an LG V20 - good phone. One of the features I used most was the headset battery meter indicator as I spend an average of 4 hours a day for business using my BT headset. I got a new S10+ and installed plantronics hub and rebooted both devices but my BT battery life indicator does not show. Any guesses?
