Default xda IIi probs: b/tooth and signal loss

Hi firstly I've been browsing here for ages and its a great forum, loads of helpful ppl but thought I'd actually post for a change

first problem: i've got a bluetooth hands free kit, worked great on my old fone but I find I have to take the unit out of standby to get it to connect, whereas every other fone I've tried with it connected str8 away. is there a workaround or something for this? or does anyone have any suggestions?

second one: is the fact my fone randomly drops signal, I've missed god know's how many calls now cos it just drops, i can be using it or not and it will just go. O2 seem to think it's a faulty fone but last time I went to the o2 shop they told me online contract deal with them etc etc. Anyone had this problem? I'm running corporate not O2 as I didnt want the stuff it installed (except the damn battery meter ggrrr)

Sorry if this has been posted before but i did look and couldnt find any solutions

Thanks for reading ppl...have a good one
