Hi,
i have a very disapointing situation with my NOKIA HS-12W. I have this gadget from 2 months, and now everybody started to complain, that they cant understand our conversation when i am using my headset. It is only 70 cm from my device when i am driving, it is in th holder. But the sound quality is good only when there is less than 20 cm between the device and the headset.They said, that the sound is noisy and they hear only parts of the words. Do you have the same experience, and is there any solution for that? Or i should reconsider the value of the bluetooth feature of this devce.
Many thanks for any help
jep same situation here. got a t-mobile Rom installed and also using Nokia HS-12W. only the first week i reached the +- 9 till 10 meters distance. I have changed some registry settings and now it doesn't work any more. just 20 cm for stereo sound and a lot of stuttering.
i get almost 30 feet from my HT820 and i-take bluepro headphones. i haven't tested my Jabra250, but it's probably pretty good.
Yes, i tought the same, that i have made some registry changes which caused this. But now, after a hard reset , without any registry changes i have the same problem

same here... I've set my registry setting to medium quality so I've reduced the stuttering when it's on my side on my belt. When it's in headset mode I can move further but I can not move as long as 10 meters... s..cks.
Other choice was the SE HBH with the same design I think a 'normal' headset cannot be worn on the streets...
I have the Sony Ericsson stereo bt headset (simliar hang-around-the-neck style as the Nokia). When listening to music, I can't move the phone any further than my belt-clip without having the sound break-up.
So, in my experience, the maximum effective range is 10-20 cm. :x
wich ROM versions does everybody using?
Mine is: UNI_TMNL_130115_130233_11003_WWE_BL101_Ship
this is the latest T-mobile Rom what i know.
I am so sad. Until this i was so proud of having tis device.Today i talked with the QTEK service here in Hungary, and what they told, made me disapointed.They told, there was no solution for that.The Bluetooth antenna is too small, and there is nothing to do. So what is in the specification is a big lie. And they knew it. All we could do it to sue them . This device is to big for using as a standard phone.But with this bluetooth feature there is no other option
The Bluetooth Antenna on the Universal is fine, I can use Bluetooth ActiveSync to connect with my PC and it keeps signal even if I stand in the next room - so the problem is probably your Bluetooth headsets having a weak antenna, not the Universal...

I also have no problems with the bt range for transering files & synching. I also was satisfied with the range & quality with mono bt headsets for telephone calls. However, for bt stereo the range has been quite disappointing.
hello where in the registry did you change those setings ?.. i want to try it out
me too wanna try this.
anyone having problems with bluethooth skipping? works fine when I have my phone sitting somewhere, even when 20 feet away, but starts skipping when I put it in my pocket and do anything active. like going for a jog. kinda defeats the purpose. using lantec 930 backbeat headphones. anyone know what could be causing this, it's really annoying.
I'm having the same problem with my Wireo Blutooth headset since upgrading to CM5. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: Before I rooted and installed CM5 my bluetooth worked fine, now not so much.
I stream Pandora to my car over Bluetooth and haven't had a problem yet. Although on my G1 it used to sound as if it played maybe a half second too slow. But on the N1 its been nothing but glorious.

bluetooth range is very finicky on this
I use it at the gym and most of the time its OK
But sometimes it cuts out even like 3 feet away if i have a machine/bench in between the phone and headset.
*Note* im on stock ROM
I know its not my headphones because i used the same ones with my HTC diamond with no problems at all
damnit, seems to be some hardware issues with the radio's on this phone. Wifi, 3g, and now bluetooth all seem to have some kind of issue. damnit. It's such a great phone except for these issues. damnit..
I have no issues with my N1 and bluetooth with activity. Phone in pocket, or phone is a charging drawer at work. I can easily push music to my stereo bluetooth without any skipping.
I am using the Rocketfish bluetooth headset from bestbuy for 59.99. They are RIDICULOUS compared to the motorola s9hd's for 99.99.
These are a little more uncomfortable but whatever, 40 dollars less INSANELY loud with INSANE bass response and it even comes with like 5 different sound effect things like party hall, wide spectrum, its cool. try em.
I sometimes have the same problem with my bluetooth receiver in my car.
I do not have this problem with my headset or my bluetooth speakers on my desk.
With my Samsung Galaxy I had this far more often - with all devices. Restarting the Galaxy did help. I haven't tried restarting the N1 in these situation.
No issues with Bluetooth with:
Motorola S805 (AD2P & Headset Profiles & A/V Remote Profile)
JayBird SB1 (AD2P & Headset Profiles & A/V Remote Profile)
2010 Lexus HS250h (AD2P & Hands-free Profile & A/V Remote Profile)
"Stock" & CM 5.0.2. -- Only BT N1 issue I have is with my Nissan's hands-free which is very well documented.
Cheers,

Can you pause using JayBird controls?

I just got the JayBird SB1 today. Are you able to use the headset controls to pause music playback, or jump to next/previous track? It doesn't work on my N1.
I can answer incoming calls and hang up, but that's all. Running stock ROM on my N1. Would like to know if it's just me, or all N1's.
I have a pair of Motorola HT820, S9's and the Plantronics/Altec Lansing Backbeats.
They all work fine indoors, but they are lousy outdoors and cut out a lot, I've spent some time testing and here's what I've found out
1. The signal cannot penetrate 1 inch of flesh, a hand will block the signal.
2. If unblocked the signal has a pretty long range.
3. If indoors the signal will bounce a _lot_ meaning that it almost doesn't matter where the phone is.
4. If you're outside and not near a wall/building/hard surface for the signal to bounce off of, if will cut out.
5. BT headset antenna's are generally next to your ear or behind your head, meaning that there is generally no route from the phone to the headset that does not go through at least 1inch of flesh or bounce off something.
I have yet to find a solution for this

i feel ripped off....bought the 903's just for running outside, and experienced this for the first time today. i was running with the phone in my hand, because it bounces up in down in my shorts pocket.
is this just for stereo streaming of music? i have known alot of people use mono, single ear phone headsets outdoors with no issues at all...
I think it is all about proximity of the bluetooth receiver in your headset to the phone. I've got the sony behind the head bluetooth phones (for many years now) and I know the receiver is on the right side ear so I keep my phone on the right side of my body when I have tunes going on the headset. More of a learning what doesn't work and then incorporating some wardrobe choices for the gym, on the bus, walking that keep the phone positioned where you need it. Bluetooth is not perfect for sure.
is it just me??
there aren't that many reports of this issue on the net. it was briefly mentioned on one of the reviews and that was it.
anyway, on higher bitrate mp3 playback, bluetooth headset audio stutters and skips a lot, even if the device is held very very close.
wifi was not running, 3g data was not on.
if you guys think the issue I posted on google Android's bug site is relevant, then please vote.

Desire as well?? wow..
i think perhaps ill try disabling the HTC Sense or something
just dont understand why no one's been complaining
whats the x10 like by the way...it looks really nice but someone somewhere said SE's skin is slow?
how much battery life do you get out of it?
I do have trouble using just a plain headset. I only get about 30cm range before the audio begin to stutter.
I've tried with two different Sony Ericsson headsets (HBH-PV710, HBH-610a) and a TomTom Go930.
Is it a software issue or hardware related? Repair?

am guessing it's hardware...
but perhaps it can still be helped by modifications in software
basically im still getting the same issues with a custom ROM
Got the phone replaced with a brand new, still the same problem.
Audio in headset is really bad, but in the other end they can hear me loud and clear.
Could it be poor output power from the Bluetooth transmitter in the phone,
while reception is good?
I've restored it to factory settings, and had WiFi disabled.
I've got the same problems on my Legend.
Both A2D2-profile and standard audio for talking.
No more than 80-90 cm before the static and noice occurs.
My colleague here at the mobile-store had the same problems on Hero, and now on his currently X10..
So to me this seems as an Android problem overall, but I can't tell for sure..
My Legend is my first Android handset, and I like it..
I only wish these blutoothproblems hadn't been here.. Should have been just the same as on my beloved Sony Ericsson handsets..
Got a new headset a Nokia BH-602 and the audio is a lot better, not perfect but at least I can hear every word said.
It's quite strange that SE HBH-PV710 and HBH-610a including TomTom Go930 just didn't work.
I'm just curious what qualification Android or Bluez did meet to certify for the Bluetooth standard.
Sorry to bump an old thread...
But just wanted to add I have the exact same issue, the bluetooth range is not very far at all, however it is a lot better then 30-60cm.. i'm able to go for about 2-4 meters with line of sight.
So i guess its usable as long as the phone is in my pocket which is fine.. just wish it was a little better like my previous phones where I can just leave it charging and walk around the house.
Bluetooth support is pretty atrocious on this HTC Legend.
Never had any problems streaming audio or using any of my previous devices with my car stereo for handsfree.
But this Legend is pants! - It won't work with Bluetooth Audio streaming at all - I just get static and some wierd clicking noises (using 2.03 latest official ROM) and handsfree connects ok - but then drops half way through a call causing me to lose my call at the time.
Any resolves for these bluetooth woes?
thanks in advance.
PS - Using it with my Pioneer FH-P80BT
I use my Legend with a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones. I have no stutter with bluetooth stereo (except minor cuts when browsing some intensive websites or typing fast in landscape mode). My headset works well even with the phone in my pocket (although it skips momentarily if I turn my head right or if my hand touches the bluetooth transmitter near the camera lens).
Perhaps some of the reported problems are caused by some background process using CPU cycles with high priority?
Incidentally, I highly recommend these headphones - bluetooth playback is of identical quality to wired playback. I don't know how Sennhesier have acomplished this feat but every other brand of bluetooth headphones I have used before have had intolerable reproduction of high frequency sounds.
I am having this problem as well...streaming music from my T-Mobile Vibrant to my radio via bluetooth. The radio is bluetooth 2.1 compatible and the Vibrant is supposedly Bluetooth 3.0.
I used to have a Mytouch 3G running Android 1.6 and I do not remember having this problem.
Same problem here !
am using Legend, and "Jwin Stereo bluetooth" headphones that needs "A2DP" to work, and its working clear but there is some silly cuts while listening mp3's and its disturbing me, i cant ignore these cuts coz are alot !
Please tell us if there is any way to solve it ...
Thanks..
I have a Motorola S9 bluetooth headset which worked perfectly with my blackberry 8900. I'd have the phone in my pocket, go to the gym and listen to music, it would work great.
But on my Nexus one, ever since I got it in Febuary, any rom i've ever been on (enomther, cyanogen), the audio skips repeatedly if I don't keep the phone like half a foot away from the headset (which is impossible unless I strap the phone to my upper back or something). It will cut out for 1-10 seconds and then return for a second and then go out again, and then be steady for 20 seconds and then do it again, it's very random but VERY frequent..I've never been able to go a full minute without skipping.
I've also had to have my nexus one replaced at one point, and this was a problem on both models, so I don't think I just got 2 defective nexus ones in a row.
Also I have paired the S9 bluetooth with my PS3 and again with the blackberry and it works perfectly with both.
Is there any reason or does the nexus one just have a weak bluetooth reciever?
I'm using the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset and I found that the bluetooth range is better than my laptop. Audio doesn't skip even if I am ~10 m way.
I have some Sony ones (the neckband BT ones, not sure of the model) and they only seem to skip if there is heavy EM interference, or if the battery is low and there is something in the way. This was the same with a Nokia E71 (which IMHO had the best radios on a handset I've used), so I think its a headset problem rather than a phone problem. But saying that, I primarly use this combo with the phone in the chest pocket of an ACU jacket, so it only has about 30cm to travel.
I use my Nexus with the S9, and it works great. I often leave the phone playing on my desk at work, while I got to the printer etc. No probs, until about 40 foot away...

Compared to my old iPhone i found it was a little weaker too.
I think you have a second defective unit. My first n1 had the same problem. Since the n1 share the wifi and bluetooth on the same chip, you should notice also some weakness in the wireless signal as well. At least that is what I found.
I would never get full bars on my wireless even standing next to the router. The bluetooth was worse, I couldn't keep my phone more than an arms length to get the bluetooth working.
I returned it and got a replacement
Hope this helps
Well I don't have problems with weak wifi signal. I can be pretty far from the wifi and get great signal. Also for voice calls the plantronics explorer Bluetooth headset I use works great. Its just the a2dp streaming on the s9 that are giving me problems.
Have you tried turning Wi-fi off while using the BT for streaming?
Blue tooth dropouts- sometimes fix
On my N1, both a Jawbone Icon and a Samsung headset will have fluctuating media sound frequently. The sound will vary in volume or skipping up to once a second, giving a very unpleasing experience. The distance to the phone can be one foot or 15 feet with the same results.
I finally correlated this to either turning on or connecting the headset after the media had begun playing, or coming back into range while the media was already playing.
I found that I could get clear sound by exiting the media, then restarting the media while the headset was already connected.
I have trouble also with going out of range, then returning into range, but the media connection not restoring, just the phone connection.
Solutions I found for this on the web were:
- set master=true in /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf (worked for me)
possibly also:
- turn off wifi
- carry bluetooth device and nexus on same side of your body
- use bluetooth only for media (not phone)
Hi all,
I have the Plantronics Discovery 975 bluetooth headset which has never given me problems before on previous HTC phones, but I now hear crackling whenever someone speaks...
Are there other bluetooth headset users with the same problem?
+1 voyager pro sametimes cracle sometimes no
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
We bought two SGS2 and two Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth headset at work. I got one of the phones and one of the headset and I'm having the exact same problem as you have. My other colleague who were happy enough to recieve the other phone does not have any cracking noise which is rather weird.
I even tried my headset connected to his SGS2, i had to make sure my head wasn't messing up the signal or something lol... and it worked fine, so it's something with the phone i guess.
In this thread they talk about KE7 having a new sets of Bluetooth profiles and what not. Perhapes Samsung recognized there was some bug and changed things around.. But i'm only guessing here.
In case anyone is wondering:
Yes, both phone and headset was fully charged when tested.
Yes, both phones and headsets were tested in the same room around the same time so it cant be interference from external sources as it didn't bother the other SGS2.
I'm using KE2 over here. I forgot to check what version my colleague is using but we got the phones the same day from the same store so I bet he is using KE2 as well.
Did both phones have WiFi enabled or disabled?
Come to think of it, I think i had it enabled on mine but not on the other phone. I'll try compare them again and this time have wifi off on both phones.
I had a 975 for about two weeks before I returned it. I wasn't getting consistent performance on either my G2 (HTC), G2X (LG), or Vaio P (Sony). I replaced it with a BlueAnt Q2 and didn't have any problems with the same devices. It works really well on the SGS2 for phone, media, and Voice Talk. The 975 also wasn't A2DP and I like to listen to music and audio on my headset sometimes.
I tried disabling the wifi, not sure if its just now or not but, it seems to be working better. I still hear the crackling noise every now and again but not like before. However i think i will keep using my SE MW600. It delivers more solid performance and the sound quality is better as well. Maybe it's because the MW600 supports A2DP.. i cant really tell.
HTC HD2 Tmobile USA I am also having serious crackling problems...to the point of contacting Plantronics to replace my Voyager Pro and pay $49 for refurbished headset. Distance to phone 2 feet and only getting 1 bar on bluetooth strength. Any sort of obstruction like moving head between headset and phone still at 2 ft away...noticeable crackling and 1 or less BT signal strength on phone. With Wifi enable crackling increases. Connecting to a linksys router just 3 ft away is quite fast but still only 3 signal strength. Turning off bluetooth causes a rise in wifi signal strength but zero bars if more than 10 ft from router. I hard reset but problems still existed.
Extensive research on the problem came across issues about bluetooth and wifi electronics on circuitboard are side-by-side and has something to do with the negative affect on each other.
Anybody have similar "crackling" audio or crackling sound and / or LOW signal when close to phone or wifi routers. I welcome any suggestions at this point.

Jawbone and bluetooth crackling
Hi,
I have a Jawbone Prime which I used for my iPhone 4, which was crystal clear, now I've used it a couple of times with my S GS2 and so far I'm struggling to get a clear call quality.
I thought it was the headset but I have tried it with a friends Advantax speakerphone and that happens the same, every 10 sec's it goes quite and crackles to the point that it's impossible to actual have a conversation!
My phone is only 3 weeks old is it worth exchanging it or will I get the same problem if its a software issue??
Help please
BTW I have just spoken to a lady from Samsung about this issue, to find out if it is a handset issue or software. After being passed around saying it was the headset, though I explained I have tried another 2 headsets, she now said my headset is not compatible.
When I asked her for a list of compatible headsets she put me on hold and then came back saying 'Please go to an accessory store to find out'.
I don't like being fobbed off but I believe Samsung are doing that to me and everyone else! I asked if they were fixing this issue, as there are other forums of this issue, she couldn't answer that question funny enough!
I'm now going to try another handset with my sim and the headset as I work in CPW, finger crossed!
I don't know if I am having the same issue as you guys. You are describing it as "crackling"? My connection falls into a state where the audio sounds as if the bandwidth is REALLY low. So the other person's voice is choppy - really fast choppy - I don't mean intermittent sound.
If I briefly transfer the audio to the phone and then back to the handsfree device again it clears up.
This happens in my car which has a Parrot CK6100 and also our BMW mini built-in bluetooth system.
I have a UK Orange branded SGS2 with KE2 firmware.
Could someone try doing the above and see if it clears up the audio?
As a side issue, stereo audio over a2dp works without problems so it is not a signal strength issue.

Better with wifi off, but still crappy sound.
I have been having a problem with my bluetooth crackling in my car for a very long time now. I did a search and found this very old thread. I wanted to bump it up to see if anyone else is having a problem like this and if there is any known troubleshooting steps we could take. As previous people have posted, stereo bluetooth works fine, its just on calls with my car that it intermittently crackles. I can toggle the connection to my phone and back to my car to clear it up, but who wants to do that? This happens nearly every call. I thought it was my car so I ignored it but I recently tried my phone in a different car and had the same issue. Ironically, I never have this issue with regular bluetooth headsets, only with cars. Anyone else have a problem like this?
