BT headset status icon

[weasel]

I've recently upgraded from a Blue Angel and so far am pretty impressed but....

My BA used to have a nice little icon on the top bar showing when my BT headset was connected and also when it was active. Is there something similar for The Universal? I am asking because sometime I inadvertently press my BT headset button and consequently start draining my headset battery.

Thanks

AFAIK the only place you'll see it is when in the phone app itself. A little headset icon similar if not identical to the old WM2003SE one appears in the top right corner when the headset is connected. Note, this is NOT in the start bar, but the top right hand corner of the phone app window. With o2's customisations, it can from some angles be quite hard to spot, but you can just about make it out.

Since upgrading to the new imate rom and Radio 1.09, it seems better at finding my headset when it hasn't been connected for a while - though quite why this is I don't know, as I believe there are no BT changes in the new rom.

Bummer :?

I liked the little icon on WM2003SE - it prevented my from accidentally drauning the battery from my BT headset. On the plus-side, the BT implementation on the Universal is far superior to that on the Blue Angel - probabaly hardware related.

You will also see it in the incoming call notification bubble, again in the top right corner.

Agreed it was useful in the old position, though in equal measure it did clutter up the bar.
