I recently bought the Apple Bluetooth Headset and even after a complete full charge (green indicator), the iPhone headset battery status icon always shows half battery level or lower. It doesn't light up full. After the Headset is charged, it shows a full level but, as soon as I unplug it from the charger it goes back to half? Does anyone else have this problem?

I have the same problem!!!
The battery doesn't get me through the day with only 4 or 5 calls max.
I am very disappointed. I also get a constant buzzy sound.
I only have the headset for one month or so. This is not normal!!!
I will take it back!!!!
My iphone is 2G with firm. 2.1

Any help is appreciated

Apple Bluetooth Headset Half Battery SOLUTION (mac users)

Hi there
I own the headset since one year, used it with a sonyericsson (so I was unable to see any battery meter) until last month, when I purchased my 3g Iphone, and I was really disappointed too in seeing the half charge even after nights charging.

Then I tried to completely discharge the headset this way: I paired the headset with my MacBook, choose it as the audio output in SystemPreferences, and shuffled my Itune's playlist all night long.

Next day I've charged it for 2 hrs or so, and voila': the next pairing with the Iphone showed FULL CHARGE!

Hope it works for all of you as well.
