Fixes.

1) Only enable Bluetooth when absolutely necessary.

2) Place the device in non-discoverable mode. While this does not correct
   the fault, it is harder to find the target device. There can be problems
   with this, some Nokia devices fail will to connect properly when hidden.


Hint: After powering on or enabling bluetooth on the 6310i put the phone in discoverable mode, connect the required devices and after that put the phone in non-discoverable mode. At least the HDW-2 heatset will then be able to connect while the 6310i is in non-discoverable mode.
