is there a limit on the number of droid bluetooth connections?

I'm trying to pair a bluetooth headset - a Sennheiser VMX 100 - to my Droid. The Droid sees it well enough but can't seem to pair with it.

I have my Droid paired with my car and a couple of other headsets. (Don't ask.) Is that too many connections or is there some problem specific to the Sennheiser?

Thanks,

Bob

I wouldn't worry about it unless you are getting above 255 pairings. Since the connections are not simultaneous, it's simply storing the memory of each connection in a configuration file. Often, in Linux limits are both way more than you could possibly use, and at 1, 255, 64K (Even bit boundries).

It will not affect the performance of your phone in the least. (OK, if you have a few thousand different connections remembered, it *might* take the phone a few thousandths of a second to search through the thousands of remembered connections to find the one it is currently seeing each time you pair one up.)

Unless you are trying to actually pair all of these at the same time, I suspect your problems lies elsewhere. Does your other device have the ability to accept a firmware update for buggy software, and is there one available for it from the manufacturer?

After doing a quick Google on your headset, it looks like there are a bunch of people haivng pairing problems with this headset and a lot of different devices, including computers.

It looks like there IS a firmware update for the VX100 that solves many of these issues.
