I just got my Siemens S56 BT phone last week. I leave the BT on all the time. My questions are:

1. Does leaving BT on shorten the standby time? My battery only lasts one day with the BT on.

2. Does leaving BT on when you get a call outside the car cause a BT connection error?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

How long are you actually in the car and using the connection? I drive maybe an hour each way to and from work, and the battery gauge is usually only one bar down when I get home in the evening. And I do keep it on the entire day at work, but it's not actively connected to any bluetooth devices.

You may have a bad battery.

1. Agree, yes.
2. The 1st call after getting out of the car always complains about
not being able to find the BT head set - thereafter I don't get any
more such errors until my next ride.
