HFL Drops Calls

My 05 Navi has started dropping incoming calls. I get the incoming call message, hit the button, say hello, then the bluetooth connection drops. The phone (Motorola E815) is still connected, but it thinks the bluetooth is still connected. so I can't speak into the phone or over the HFL. I've tried using the "transfer" command on the HFL but it says no call in progress. I end up having to end the call and call back. Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes? No problems on outgoing calls.

Is the phone running on its battery or is it getting power from the TL through an A/C charger plug?
If the phone is running on its own battery when this happens, I would suspect a weakening/bad cell battery. My Moto starts to drop calls when its battery power is low, but is fine when the battery power is more than one bar or when operating off the car charger.

Just a question/note. May not be related.

Are you *sure* it's an incoming call? Reason I ask, when I recieve a text message, the HFL treats it like an incoming call. There is no Caller ID, but the "car rings" and if I try to answer, it's like it dropped the call.

Took me several instances to figure out that it was an incoming text message causing the "dropped call".

No to both of the above. It happens regardless of whether on battery or plugged in, and regardless of battery strength. And they are phone calls, not texts. I do not have the issue BearCat has; the HFL does not respond when a text comes through.

Maybe it's a bad HFL unit that needs replacement.
