T58W Pro - Bluetooth Pairing Issue - BTH58 handsets

[gmiller61364]

The T58 Pros have 2 different bluetooth radios (apparently). One is for the handset and one is for connecting third party devices. The one that connects the handset is always on, the other is in the features section and is turned off by default. You can leave that off and the handset still connects. However, when the phone is idle, it disconnects the handset and leaves a prompt on the screen to connect it.

If you turn the second radio on, the handset stays connected regardless of how long it sits idle. However, this phone does have it's bugs that I've been unable to resolve. Main one being, when you get an incoming call, there is a delay in being able to hear or speak on the handset when you first pick it up. It's long enough that some callers will hang up because they no longer hear a ringing and don't hear anyone speaking. If/when you manage to get the connection, the phone has a tendency to drop the sound from the handset. It stays connected, and the other party can hear you, but you cannot hear them (or vice versa). Hitting the speaker button on the phone allows you to complete the call there, but the handset doesn't return sound until you hang up. Obviously a huge issue for a phone.
