I have a: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth) bluetooth dongle which seems to work decently for the most part. I also have a logitech B/T mouse and Jabra BT125 headset (i.e. mono device with microphone typically used with a handsfree mobile phone) which I'd like to use simultaneously. I can seem to connect both the headset and the mouse at the same time but typically as soon as I connect the headset (i.e. while the mouse is already connected), the mouse stops working. It remains connected (according to the Bluetooth Preferences window) but moving the mouse doesn't result in mouse cursor movement. Additionally, as I move the mouse, there is crackling in the headset. Disconnecting the headset causes the mouse to subsequently disconnect and reconnect at which point it is again able to move the mouse cursor. I also have an LG HBM-210 headset with which the mouse seems co-exist with successfully. I can connect the LG headset and the mouse continues to work. The mouse continues to work even if I am listening to audio on the headset, so this problem seems unique to the Jabra BT125. I'd happily just put the Jabra headset aside and use the LG headset but it seems to have it's own problems with the audio in and out (i.e. both the mic and earpeice) periodically dropping out for 5-20 seconds and then coming back. When such a dropout happens the mouse stops working then disconnects and reconnects. Perhaps related, perhaps not, but I have noticed also that the mouse will occasionally just stop working (but not disconnect) and then just start working again. b. --------------enig238E46C6671DFEBD102A5D54 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1uqn0ACgkQl3EQlGLyuXB6igCg0KWXkDCgiEjzqhMEV2EBko43 NNMAoMcKMwj8o3Zf1EPSxiZaQ1v/+w0F =Wa+m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig238E46C6671DFEBD102A5D54--
