Bluetooth headset disconnecting when not in use

I noticed that when not in use, the Sony Bluetooth headset disconnects from the phone. Didn't see that problem with the Samsung Galaxy Music. Is this a battery saving feature of Stamina mode?
Solved!

Hi, 
Depending on which headset you are using the headset may disconnect to a kind of standby mode. The headset will auto connect to your phone when you are placing or receiving a call. Depending on which software you can also force a connection by tapping the call button.

  • Bluetooth headset disconnects if not in iTunes

    I have a Creative WP-450 Bluetooth Headset.
    I have a MacBook Air Summer 2012.
    I connect my headset.
    iTunes pops up.
    All is fine as long as I listen to music in iTunes.
    IF I close iTunes and stream media throug my browser or do anything other than listen to music on iTunes (ie play a game) the headset beeps every 2 minutes for a bit and then the headset disconnects.
    There is nothing wrong with the battery, I can listen to iTunes for hours with no issue.
    I can listen to my music on my phone for hours and hours.
    Minutes after pairing and closing iTunes on my Air, headphone beeps and then headphone shut-down.
    WHY? Its killing me! I want to use these for ventrillo or skype or just watching cartoons.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Bluetooth automatically connecting when not in use

    My car has bluetooth and is set up that when you are connected to an ipod, it will play through the port in the car unless bluetooth is connecte. Bluetooth will override the MDI port. The phone has no problems connecting, but everytime I receive a text, or notification, my phone automatically connects to my car and cuts off whatever I am listening to. This used to happen only when I chose a song, which is what it is supposed to do. Any idea why receiving a text or notificiation would activate my phone into connecting to the bluetooth? I've tried a soft reset and don't have too many other ideas. Thank you

  • HT4623 my phone does not dim when not in use ?

    -my iphone does not diim when not in use, the problem start two days ago, it is only 12 months old ?

    Hey Teltee,
    If you haven't already, I would double-check your Auto-Lock settings and make sure they haven't changed:
    Auto-Lock
    Locking iPhone turns off the display. Nothing happens if you touch the screen. You can still receive calls and text messages, an you can adjust the volume and use the mic button on the iPhone Stereo headset when listening to music or on a call.
    Set the amount of time before iPhone locks
    Choose General > Auto-Lock and choose a time.

  • Overheating when not in use

    For the last few days my MacBook has started to become extremely hot when not in use. While I am using the MacBook it is not hot, this issue only arrises when I am not using it. The energy savings are 3 minutes for computer sleep and screen sleep. I can hear the internal fan is still working.
    Any ideas what has suddenly changed would be welcome. Thank you.

    The condition has continued. After selecting sleep and putting the computer to sleep, it will start up again at will without any interaction. This occurs when disconnected from the internet.
    There have been no changes in configuration or installation of new software.
    I thought this awakening of the computer could be a character of a virus program or Unix maintenance programs. But this didn't occur before and no matter now many times I put the computer to sleep it continually awakes. All I can assume is some component in the system has changed by itself.
    It is not really an issue as such, but the problem is that when the computer awakes by itself the fan doesn't run (usually the fan is running when the computer is warm - so the fan is still functioning) so the computer becomes like a hotplate, which could lead to damage of the motherboard. I usually find the computer really hot after being out or in the morning.
    Any ideas as to what is causing these self starts would be helpful.

  • Should I turn off my Mac Pro when not in use or leave it running?

    I have been told I should never turn off my computer by some people, and others say that I should always turn it off when not in use!  I use my Mac Pro primarily for music recording/editing in my home studio or word processing.  Now that I have an iPad I use that for web browsing, email, FBing, etc. and I find myself on my Mac Pro a lot less.  I get the basis behind both trains of thought; those who leave it on feel always stopping and starting up puts unnecessary wear on the moving disks, and those who shut down think if the parts are always moving they are bound to wear out faster.  I am not as concerned with conserving power as I am with keeping my machine safe!  If you have any information on this topic I would love to hear it. Thanks!

    Providing you have a robust firewal and are not worried as a result about being hacked then leave it turned on and allow it to sleep. Make sure you allow the screen to sleep as well a that is the item that is more prone to damage by being left on all the time.
    I never turn my machine off, never have with any of my Macs ever since my first one back in 1979-ish and have never suffered any adverse affects. Today, the power drain is so small when allowed to sleep that I doubt they would offend even the ardent 'turn off everything and pull out the plug to save the planet' person.
    If you have an iPad or iPod synced with the Mac for email and iCal and address Book etc. then if you leave it on it should be up to date as soon as you return home, mine is anyway. With iCloud coming out very soon that may come into play even more so with all its advance pushing etc. Just a thought.
    One advantage in leaving the machine on (sleep) is that you can access it from anywhere in the world should the need arise with the appropriate settings, which you can't if you turn it off.
    Leave it on.

  • Am I supposed to leave the display plugged in when not in use?

    should the display be left plugged in when not in use? is it just like leaving the power cord to the MacBoold Pro plugged in when the computer is off?
    thanks

    Sure, you can leave the display plugged into the socket, provided you turn OFF the display itself. There must be somewhere some switch or touch button that will turn the display OFF.
    Usually, those displays use a lot of power, so it's better to save
    I shall add an unrequested piece of advice: if you don't this already, please use some kind of electrical surge protector
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector> to connect your computer, display, printer, router, etc to the wall socket.

  • IPhone resets itself when not in use

    I have an original iPhone which has been updated to 3.0. Since the update I've noticed that the phone will spontaneously restart itself when not in use. When this happens I'll notice the screen light up with the silver Apple logo and then go blank. This will happen repeatedly. While this is going on I can't use the phone until I plug it into the computer. Once iTunes does it's thing the phone will return to normal for a while - sometimes a day or two - before repeating this behavior. I have reset and restored the phone but without solving the problem. Apart from this everything seems to be working properly.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried restoring and setting up as a new phone (i.e., not restoring from a backup)? Sometimes those backups bring along whatever is messing up your phone.

  • When To and when NOT to use cursors

    Can anyone please refer to a good resource about When to and When NOT to use cursors.
    I have search on line but I haven't find anything really good.
    Thank you.
    H

    If you can do it in a single SQL statement (one UPDATE or whatever), that will almost always be more efficient than a loop construct.
    If you absolutely need a loop, bulk operations (BULK COLLECT, FORALL) will be more efficient than row-by-row processing for any significant number of rows.
    If it is a relatively small number of rows, I would then weigh up the simplicity of a Cursor FOR loop (although Regarding the creation of simple cursors).
    btw I loved that comedy Forms 3 article, but surely April 1st isn't until Saturday?

  • IMac (Oct 2009) keeps shutting down and restarting when not being used.

    At least once a day, usually when not being used, I will see a dialog box that say computer had to restart due to a problem. data in problem report does not clearly state problem - many multi-page entries
    Have reinstalled OS 10.8.2 once
    this morning tried to restart with safe boot and had spinning beach ball for more than 15 minutes. shut down and restarted nin recovery mode. verified and repaired permissions (all seem to be related to Canon Pronter plug-ins- had an error message yesteday asking if I wanted to repair printer software and I said yes). Printer seems to be working. Had one statement that indicated a screensaver issue-see below
    a while back, iTunes album art screensaver hung up with just two album covers flipping in all rows and columns.
    after a few restarts, it started working correctly again..- yesterday I set screen saver to never, but still had a crash this morning

    Here's the latest panic report. BTW, I ran  for a while from an external system boot - very sloww (thumbdrive), but nothing happened. However, when I retarted I tried to restart in Safe Mode and the launch never completed (30 minutes without start)

  • My ext HDs spin too hard when not in use , how do I slow em up ?

    some externals have the smarts about them but others just wizz too hard when not in use , old macs had a processor setting I could change  , but not MBP
    I should be able to tell these HDs to chill till I call on them right ?   thanks for any help[ you can offer me .
    cheers R

    You don't. You have no control over the spin rate of any hard drive.
    To encourage the external drive(s) to spin down when they aren't in use, System Prefs > Energy Saver > check the box for "Spin down hard disks when possible." But you'll find that the OS checks in on those drives quite frequently, spinning them back up again. So the likelihood of their spinning down very often or ever staying quiescent for long is small.

  • I downloaded the new 7 update and now my iPad won't charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use ?

    i downloaded the new 7 update on my ipad. it now will not charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use. any solutions ??

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Then plug it in and let it fully charge.
