This leaves the BT radio at full power and keeps the connection solid.

If you're on battery, the phone goes into standby and sometimes shuts off the BT radio by mistake.
Thanks, I don't think this is the case. When my phone gets an incoming call it rings on my car speakers for a half ring, then stops. The phone hand set continues to ring, and I can answer. Once I answer, the phone still thinks it is connected to the car, so the caller can't hear anything until I press the right soft button and then 'Disconnect Bluetooth headset'. After that is done I can talk on the headset, or simply press the 'transfer call' button on my car. The big pain about that button is that is is disabled if the car is moving faster then 5 miles an hour, so I can't always hit it. If I end the call and call the user back the bluetooth is connected and fine.

This has never happened with my other headsets, and doesn't show up in a whole slew of previous roms. I know the bluetooth is very touchy, and I'm guessing that some of the BT-PAN fixes break the profile that my car uses for it's headset. I guess I'll have to play with it and see which setting it is.... My car is a Lexus IS if that matters....
