Hello,

I am using the android navigator app with a bluetooth headset for my motorcycle.
The bluetooth connection works fine, but I have a strange behaviour.

As soon as I start a navigation the headset will turn on after any activated sound (first spoken direction). Then it turns into standby when the voice instruction has finished (in my opinion this is correct, so the headset can save battery). But the headset instantly wakes up again after it turned to standby and makes a quiet noise. This noise seems to be just some general noise, which comes from the connection. Its not sended by the navigator. I hear that noise too, if I don't use the navigator and activate some short sounds. Instead of silence I hear that noise until the headset turns into standby.

There must be something in the navigator that keeps the headset awake. I think this is intended to avoid instructions that get cut (because the connections will loose a little bit of the transfered audio when the headset has to wake up first).
I think that is no good solution, because it eats the battery of the headset. In addition it doesn't really avoid cutting. Sometimes the headset will go to standby and then the instrunction is cut.

Does anyone experience the same as me?
Is there any solution for that?

Wouldn't it be better to let the headset go to standby and wake it up with a special signal before each instruction? This signal should be only turned on if bluetooth is active. For normal navigation this is not needed.
