a silly question about bluetooth and battery life
I have no knowledge of bluetooth, but after getting the wired headsets stuck on various objects, I am willing to try this. Can someone explain this a bit more to me? I know it is where there is not any wires, but how does that work with the battery life on the phone? How much does it take away from the battery life of the phone and how long can a bluetooth headset work while talking on the phone before needing a charge?
Regarding battery life. I also have an E-815. I was able to go almost a whole week at work on a single charge of the battery, with bluetooth turned off, phone on all the time and my desk is in a low-signal area. I now turn the BT on when I leave for work in the AM, turn on my headset. They don't get turned off until I get home from work at night, but I leave the phone on and turn off the BT (I created a shortcut to make it easier/faster). I can now only go 2-3 days, depending on usage. I just ordered an extended-life battery for the phone, I expect to be back at least to where I was...
