Jawvone Icon causing kernel panic and crash with MacBooks (when connected to multiple devices).

I had this issue months ago but forgot to type it up here. Thought maybe to wait a patch or two and see if it was fixed.. I checked today to see it wasn't.. probably not too many people that connect it to multiple devices like myself.

 

I discovered the issue while trying to connect the Icon to my laptop so I could skype with it. I figured it's the best headset and it would be nice to not have to speak into my computer while conferencing. Upon connecting all hell broke loose and I've slowly troubleshooted to discover what actions caused the kernal panics.

 

In short if you try to connect your Jawbone Icon to your Macbook pro, if your device is also synced/connected to another device it'll cause a kernal panic and crash your macbook. I suspect it's partially an issue the bluetooth driver on the Macbooks and not so much Jawbones driver... but then again I don't know.

 

I suspect there's some sort of conflict arising from the Icon routing audio with multiple devices, and the confusion causes the bluetooth drivers on a macbook to fault in an unusual way leading to a kernel panic.

 

I tried it with a second laptop to confirm and it happened as well.

 

Anyone from Jawbone able to help with this issue?

Oh yeah, it crashed the **bleep** out of my brand new macbook pro.  They just don't understand how to get it to work right.  Not icon, new Era...a new Era of kernal panics on my mac.  Nice work
