Hi all, I'm still trying to get my headset working reliably with my Tibook in Tiger. I think my bluetooth phone was causing problems and have turned the bluetooth off on that, which is making the connection more reliable.
However, when I stop a chat, or change the sound preference from headset to internal mic, the bluetooth disconnects the headset and the headset turns itself off. I would expect that it should just go back into standby, but it doesn't. So, when I next try and make a call or chat, I have to manually turn the headset on or the computer gets very confused. Took me a while to figure this out as I wasn't taking the headset off and didn't realise it was turning off completely.
Anyone have any idea why the headset would turn completely off, as it doesn't do that after making a call with the cellphone.
Tibook 1ghz, dlink bt adaptor, latest firmware, latest tiger version. SE hbh-660 bt headset, Ericsson T39 phone.
Thanks,
Justin.

No, I'm afraid not. I've posted to various boards including the apple discussion forum. I've had some other people say they've had the same problem, but no-one has come up with a solution. I'm very, very annoyed about it.

I have the hbh-600 headset as well and it works pretty much flawlessly with Skype. It will work with my phone - a k750i - when I make a call or switch to skype when that's what I'm using. No problem. I have never once seen it turn itself off, except when it runs out of battery. When that happens it doesn't bother to wait until the end of the call 
Are you sure it turns itself off? Have you tried immediately making another skype call or call on your phone to see if it will reconnect?

Yeah, when it disconnects, I take it off my ear and it's definitely turned off. Nothing on the display and it takes 5 seconds pushing the button to make it come back on again. The battery is fully charged. It works fine with my phone, it's just with the powerbook that it's having problems.
