What kind of headset?
I bet charging the headset would work.
On my HBH-IS800 headset the Xperia kicks it out of AD2P and into plain ol' handsfree mode around 30% of headset battery. And then it gives me the battery low message at who-knows-what percentage after that.

Hello,
Hopefully somebody can help me, the BT turns on after taking/recieving/missed calls. It is annoying. Does anybody know how to stop it? I have tied tuning it off or into discovery mode, but to no help.
Any suggestions anybody? is their a reg hack for it?
Thanks
I had the same problem and fixed it by uninstalling bluetooth tools stack. Seems Okfor first hour.
Regards
Richardracer
I had the same problem and can confirm removing BT Tools fixed it.
Seems to be an 'undocumented feature'
but if the circle (a clock i think) is made white (as in on) then it turns off itself after awhile

It isn't an undocumented feature, it's one of the main features of Pocket Bluetooth Tools! In order to save battery, BT is kept switched off until a call comes in then it comes on (no messing around with the headset profile crap on the today screen). After the call finishes, if the timer is enabled in BPT, it turns BT off after about a minute (configurable in the registry).

"Today screen"
The icon on the left activates or deactivates Bluetooth. The clock symbol switches automatic power off for Bluetooth on or off. When activated (white backround as in the picture) then Bluetooth will be switch off after 60sec of inactivity.

Please take the time to read the documentation when installing software.
i still feel there should be the option to have bluetooth tools installed and not use the timer and still not have it turn bluetooth on when the phone ring
BT Tools made my headset completely non-functional. I could pair it after installation as instructed, but the phone would not put calls on the headset no matter what. Nice idea, but didn't work for me.
Has anyone actually measured the battery impact of having BT on? On my Ericsson T68 it had a very minimal impact on the battery life.
PBTool is wonderful. Before using it, after my first call of the day the xda would not release the connection. This meant it was running the bluetooth at full power continuously, which would drain the battery in about 3 hours, and the battery in the bluetooth headset in about the same time. So completely useless as a PDA.
With PBTools, it now closes the connection by turning bluetooth of a few seconds after the call finishes (Ive set it to 3 seconds in the registry).
It has finally made my headset usable, and for that I thank Towa.
I do wish he has made it more configurable, but at least he made is quite usable by default. Until another programmer comes along and does better, I dont think we have much to complain about.

Hey, you're the one who obviously didn't RTFM. In your case it was an 'undocumented feature' only because you didn't read the documentation! If I'm the smart one...
Using my 8525 for a bit over a month now, and I love the phone. Plenty of hacks/tweaks/edits and the phone is just how I like it right now.
Driving a 2005 Acura TL with the built in HandsFree Link and the phone paired seamlessly.
Recently, I notice that while on a call, sometimes the BT Link will drop and automatically transfer the call to the handset. This only happens here & there, not every call. Once call so far after I hung up in the car, the phone was still on and I ended up leaving someone a 6 minute voicemail of me driving, listening to music.....that can be dangerous!!!
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks,
John
i HAD SOME DISCONNECTS WHEN I RECEIVING MESSAGES..IS THAT IT?
No, it will just drop the bluetooth signal mid-call, then to get the car to recognize the phone again, I have to turn off the car and turn it back on to reset connection.....

I've had the same problem, only once or twice in about a week, using my Jawbone bth headset. Very disconcerting, but survivable. I can see where losing the car pairing might be a bit more problematic.
I wonder if this is because of the /weak/ Bth stack on the TyTN???
-Humbert
Possibly. I thought I saw some upgrades for the BT Stack on here somewhere but now I cant seem to track them down.
Something about the BT Radio shutting down or going into sleep mode after a while and a registry edit to keep it on at the sacrifice of minimal battery life which is fine by me...
Didn't read you mentioning it, but does bluetooth power off during the breaking of the link? If it does, read on and try the following..
not sure if this will help, but try to disable your auto power off options, uncheck the on battery power and on external power..
I had this solved some bluetooth problems especially using the Hermes Widcomm hack and MSI Blueplayer..
Yes, the BT does turn off, but then on again automatically as soon as the call is ended.
Where are you talking about? Is this in the registry or the BT Settings? I was not sure if the WidComm stack is fully functional as of yet, if so, is it in the Wiki?
Thanks again,
John
The WidComm stack is definitely NOT fully functional yet. One of the problems I have with this stack is that, the bluetooth will power off when my wizard turns off or goes into standby, which is not normal!
Not it is not a registry setting, but it is just how it behaves on my system. Sorry for not being a help... I know how the MS Stack pisses people off..
Best regards,
Eugene
Hey, every little bit of info I can get helps....
Thanks for the info on the WidComm Stack....I might just wait and deal with the MS untill the WC is fully functional and possibly in CAB format....just to make life all the easier!
OK, So today my phone would not drop the BT signal from my car.....after being home for 4 hours, it was still trying to use the HandsFree when recieving or making calls....took me a minute to figure out because the dialer skin I have is black at the top, so I could not see the headset icon at the top and was wondering why I could not hear anyone or use speakerphone.
Hopefully it was just a freak accident and wont happen again, but just incase, any suggestions?
Hi all
Sorry, if this has been answered before. I've searched about an hour now in the forums, but couldn't find any solution.
I have a TyTN II and a Motorola BT headset H700C. This combination worked like a charm so far.
Today suddenly, I cannot start or take over incoming calls anymore.
Analysing the problem I detected, that my headset is suddenly only available as a hands-free device instead of a headset device to my phone.
So I repeatedly tried to delete pairing information and re-pairing the headset to the phone, but no success. I always only get it as a hands-free.
The strange thing is, that I'm not aware of any config changes or newly installed software on my phone. Still I suddenly have this weird behaviour.
Does anybody have a hint for me? Would appreciate any, so I can get my headset back to proper functionality again.
Thanks
McYoda
mcyoda from urt? lol.
Hey i just saw an update on the HTC website that addresses a bluetooth issue.
You have to sign up and all that good ****. Then select your device. Theres also a camera fix if you were getting the maze pattern.
I have all sorts of connection issues w/ my motorolla s99 im constantly having to repair it seems when i use the wall plug. IF both items are charged fully, i can walk away (out of distance) music will stop, and when i get close enough it repairs automatically. Something has bugged me out for sure, still working on my issues. (thinking charging the bluetooth on the car charger might be ****ing it up).
Is it normal behavior for the phone to turn itself on when connected to the AC adapter? All other phones allow charging with the phone turned off. Am I missing something?
Mine is the same... really strange indeed...
Same here, noticed it just last night when I switched it off then plug to charge it then it switched on again.
another strange thing is tht the phone speaker does not ring when there is a incomming call and the headsets are connected..
on all other fones, incomming call notification is heard on both the fone and the headsets...
on the SE K750, K800, and C902 the phone speaker didn't ring if there was a headset connected, just the headset earpieces.

I was thinking the same thing, I don't think I've ever had a phone where the handset rang if you have a headset plugged in, except for my x1i but that was after messing about with it so much I was lucky if it worked at all!
well then i think its default sony behaviour...
nokia and htc behave differently(both ring)...
but then this is my first sony and i m lovin it.....
Same here, phone won't switch off once it's being charged
Bluetooth switches itself off when my new DHD goes into standby.
This means that when using a headset and the phone rings, I can't pick up the call with the headset, and the phone doesn't switch the audio back to the headset if I switch Bluetooth back on during the call and press the reconnect button on the headset - this would be expected behaviour, and has worked on other phones.
I can't find a setting to fix this problem, nor a solution in these forums or elsewhere. Is it a bug or have I missed something?
Ok I've found the problem: I'm running an app called battery Booster designed to help conserve battery power. One of its default settings includes turning off Bluetooth when the device is locked. D'oh!
