I'm trying to figure out if my 810i's bluetooth is shot, or if I have a setting on that should be off.
I've tried 2 headsets and both paired, connected, and then immediately disconnected. They now won't stay connected... paired, but not connected. Both headsets work fine with my wife's phone.
I had a bluetooth headset that came with the phone that worked fine, but it the earpiece broke, and then I lost it.
Any thoughts on why the new earpieces won't hold connection? |

update the phone's firmware, if your phone's firware is branded (vodafone red) then unbrand your phone.

I did a firmware update last night, but that didn't solve the problem. I'll try unbranding it next. |

The branding won't be causing the problem. All you'll do is void your warranty which isn't a good idea in the circumstances.
If the bug hasn't been dealt to, a fix won't be in current updates.
I've been having the same issue with my V640i when using it as a bluetooth modem. I've had the phone replaced but the same issue plagues this one too, causing it to turn off and on by itself.

does sony have a warranty? and if so, how bad is it? I'm used to their Vaio computer products- their warranty was horrible. |

Sony don't make phones, your's is a Sony Ericsson which may seem like I'm splitting hairs but it's an important difference if you're after warranty service. Sony Ericsson products carry a standard 12 month warranty in my country and servicing is generally carried out through the local Vodafone stores. Therefore de-branding is not a good idea at all.
I assume you have a K810 not a W810?

Phone is a W810i walkman phone. I called SE and since it's still under warranty I'm going to send it in to confirm whether or not there's a problem. Any clues how to save my games so I don't lose them when they reset the phone? |
