T637 bluetooth drop-out after a day or two

So here's the problem: I use my T637 with a program called Salling Clicker for Mac OS X so I can use the phone as a remote control for my computer (iTunes, Quicktime, etc), as well as syncing my contacts with iCal, and some file transfers. So bluetooth gets used alot. I've got a dual 2ghz G5 tower, with a DLink USB bluetooth module.

Everything works flawlessly. For a while. After a day or two, the phone will just refuse to connect to my computer. It's not the computer's fault, as its universal to every application, and a restart doesn't solve the problem, nor does moving around the USB bluetooth adapter to a new port, etc. Turning off bluetooth on the phone then turning it back on won't fix it either. The only thing that works is powering down the phone, then turning it back on again. Then it works like a charm. For a while.

Anybody else have this problem? My phone has to connect/disconnect/reconnect to the computer ALOT, seeing as I leave the room my computer is in quite frequently, but I really can't find a ryhme or reason to it.

I have the same problem, and I'm just using a simple bluetooth headset (Motorola HS810). After a couple days, I have to reboot the phone before it'll connect to the headset again. Most annoying.

Hopefully somebody with an answer will chime in on this thread...

I'm having this exact same problem, but mine appears to come more frequently. I use an HBH-660 BT headset and sometimes it just won't connect to the phone. I try syncing my calendar with my computer and that also doesn't work. I try turning BT on/off on the phone but that does nothing. However, when I turn the phone on and off, these things will work again.

I see a pattern...

I'm going to be unbranding my phone and upgrading the firmware in the next few days. I'll let you know if that helps.

Odd. As soon as I posted the above responses, I never had another BT problem. Never. So apparently the fix is to post on this thread ;-)

I finally upgraded my firmware and unbranded my phone today, but again, I hadn't had any BT problems for weeks.

So in other words, I'm no help. Good luck, though.
