Hi all... Purchased my Iconia about a week ago and am generally pleased with it. I have been having an issue, and after scouring the interwebs I haven't been able to find a solution.
My sister also has the Iconia, and yesterday we attempted to initiate video chat sessions with both Gtalk and Fring. Video works fine on both programs and on both tablets, but on her Iconia, strange audio distortions are coming through. Sometimes we can hear what sounds like music, which would lead me to believe that it may be some kind of interference.
We've tried chatting when I'm at home and she's at her place and both on her network. Also we have both tried starting the sessions . Always the sounds are on her tablet. We haven't tried it yet where we are on a completely different network(s).
What can we do to troubleshoot the problem? We both purchased from BB and still have some time to exchange if it is a hardware issue, but I would like to make sure that it isn't some kind of interference or software issue first.
BTW we both live in Philadelphia... I live blocks away from a TV station which furthers my suspicion that it may be interference. Thanks for the help
It's not interference, it's the Iconia
Tried video calls between our Tab and my PC, and between the Tab and my phone. Sound is just screwed up for VOIP and video calls. Acer needs to fix it in a software update.
Thanks MaddMatt. I'm going to stick it out with the Iconia... I think that most of the bugs will get fixed in upcoming updates. But I think my sister is going to exchange for the Flyer.

So then I guess it would be my tablet with the issue, since hers is the one that is picking up the sound from my microphone?

Hi guys,
i recently received my iTech R35 A2DP Bluetooth Headset for my Touch HD which is identical to HTC BH S100 since its only rebranded.
Pairing, controls and everything works fine, but when playing music the connection constantly gets lost for short terms regardless of the distance between the phone and the Headset.
The weird thing about it is, that the headset works perfectly with my friends HD. He even could go away like 10m without any kind of interruption.
I already tried some different settings with HD Tweak but no improvement.
Besides I noticed that overall bluetooth performance with my phone, as it once took about 30 minutes to send a 50MB file, isn't that good.
Thanks for any help!
Update:
I tested the Headset today with two other phones (SE W950i and some Nokia). It worked perfectly so I figure something has to be wrong with my phone. I'll perform a hard reset on the weekend and see if it changes anything. Otherwise I'll have to contact the customer service.
Has anybody here experience with german support. If I had to send the phone in, how does it usually take til u get your phone back?
Well, I just performed the hard reset and it solved the issue. Very strange since I hadn't installed that much programs.
Well, the problem returned and I now figured it out in detail.
There's no correlation with the programs installed.
Once the Bluetooth headset is in the Bluetooth-Device-List as it was connected before the constant lags are there.
If I delete it and re-pair the headset the lags are gone for this one time until the headset got disconnected. Even if I get out of range and return in reach connection is crappy from then on.
Didn't anybody recognize such a strange behaviour too?
I have a similar issue with my Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 phones.
I thought I'd solved it by re-pairing with the handset, and initially that pairing seemed to last for a while, but now it seems I have to re-pair at least once a day to avoid the stuttering (it's really bad, isn't it?)
Frankly, I'm getting pretty disenchanted with my HD. Every time I discover a tweak which sorts an issue, another issue raises its head. I've lost count of the many hours I've spent trrying to get it to work as it ought to.
Wishing I'd got an iPhone. Okay it's not as good on paper, but at least everything works....
I have to agree the bluetooth is dodgy for me at the best of times in trying to connect to any computer.
Surprisingly, Ive had a good file transfer between my HD and MaxOSX, I can't say the same for Windows XP or Vista where on both accounts it has failed to connect via bluetooth to perform an active sync.

Thanks for your information. At least I'm not the only one with this issue.
Meanwhile I tested this behaviour with my buddies HD and it's the same pattern with his one.
I contacted german support today and will report after their answer.
i've been having the exact same problems with my hd. i would be able to pair it with my landrover, but then the connection would be lost. (there's another thread on this somewhere).
anyway, i tried installing BTRestore and BTRestart along with Mortscript and a custom script to help keep the bluetooth active. however, my problem was not that the bluetooth was turning off, but that the connection would not stay active.
so i installed a custom rom, Dutty's version 1.7, and also installed jetware bluetooth program (www.jetwaremobile.com); so far so good (*fingers crossed*). this is my 3rd day and the bluetooth works great. the phone connects with the car instantly, my phonebook works and i can make and receive calls without losing the connection.
so maybe updating the rom will help you too.
Sorry, it's been a while since HTC answered my questions but since their answer was quite disappointing I had no rush to post it.
Summarized they told me the HTC BH S100 was not compatible with the Touch HD even though I pointed out that it's in compatibility-list of the Diamond and both are running the same Chipset and OS and that it works fine after the first pairing.
As I'm tired of reconfiguring my phone I'll wait some time to flash another ROM. I hope WM 6.5 will be released soon and fix this problem, too.
I just got my 2nd A500, installed Skype but it crashes more often than not. If it works then it works fine.
This is something i found at the skype forums... the exact same thing is happening with me

Sorry, I haven't been able to reproduce that result. Will keep trying though.
Do you have any other voip things running at the same time? Fring? Tango? Qik? GTalk? for eg. Just curious.
I have tried Gtalk, it works fine, will try Fring and Tango.

Oh I was just wondering if they were running on your device, where one app could cause another to possibly crash but it seems you weren't. Will try to use skype more and see if I get crashes.
skype crashes on me as well when I was trying to do a test call. I installed fring and did a test video call just fine though. I can't even stand to look at fring though.
workaround
I had a similar problem on my Acer iconia a500. The work around was to go to settings>wireless and networks>wi-fi settings>wi-fi disconnect policy>never when plugged in. After setting this and plugging in the tablet I can make calls... And it has continued to work since unplugging, so you might even be able to skip that step.
What Skype are you using that allows video? Where do I get it? The only ones I see allow voice (mobile).
I would also like to know which skype someone is using to get video calls. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

It makes no sense, but this workatound workedmfor me. Thank you!
Dolby
Hello,
my Skype was crashing the tablet too all the time. opening it and chatting with it was fine, but as soon as i did place a call, the tablet restarted.
I deactived Dolby in the Settings, and everything worked as it should.
>I deactived Dolby in the Settings, and everything worked as it should.
Thanks!
Turning off Dolby fixed the garbled sounds that I was getting when making calls with Skype.
Before this, I could hear the lady on Skype test call clearly, but my recording was garbled. (My workaround to this was to plug in a set of headphones when making calls.)
>Skype keeps crashing
>I just got my 2nd A500, installed Skype but it crashes more often than not. If it works then it works fine.
I was having the same issue. Played around with the wifi settings as suggested by ttenani and reinstalled Skype. It has not crashed since.
Spacey1982's suggestion on the Dolby has now fixed my the garbled sounds that I was getting with the mic.
Now, if only Skype would release a version that allows video calls. Otherwise, we should all migrate to Google Talk. (Are you listening Microsoft?)
Thank you so much for this fix and or workaround. I now have Skype YEA!!!!!!! Wow a forum...

Just the fact it's Microsoft is enough reason for me to migrate my family to Google Talk.

First off, I'm new to the Iconia, just bought it two days ago with the Staples coupon
I've got it updated as of this morning to 3.1 with the 4.010.11 build (US). I can't tell you if this problem started after the update because I only tried afterwards to video chat with my gf on a PC, but it seems as though the incoming sound isn't working for the Talk app. She can hear me and we can both see each other fine, but the only problem is that I can't hear her. We tried Skype amd I can hear her just fine off of that, but if my understanding is correct, Skype doesn't support the Iconia for video (right?). Anyone else have this problem and/ or knows how to solve this problem?
Are there any other apps we can use on the Iconia to video chat with PC users?
try to reinstall... maybe you are on mute (don't use gtalk, but just guessing) i duuno otherwise sorry
Yeah I checked and made sure neither of us were on mute. If you don't us gtalk, what do you use? I don't care to use 1 app over another so long as I can get video chatting with a desktop/ laptop to work.
Hi, my first post so be gentle!
Does anyone have one of these, it is the Bluetooth version of the MK809 ii and although I'm generally happy with it, it does have a few shortfalls. I am using it with a lan adaptor which works well.
I have a webcam that sort of works with Skype, but the large (Skype caller) and small (local webcam) images are the wrong way round, so if anyone calls I have to squint at the tiny picture! I tried the version off xda but it's the same. Any help there would be appreciated.
I've never dabbled with flashing anything android but should I be looking at doing this perhaps, and if so I have not seen any mention of the Bluetooth version of the MK809ii. I'll probably turn it into a vegetable anyway!
I welcome any thoughts/experience with this gadget.
Cheers

which lan adapter are you using and how much.
I am looking to buy the mk809ii, and was wondering what are some CONs and disadvantage you are seeing now? I heard it is much better than the mk808 as it has less glitches?

I'm using the BOBJGEAR usb to Lan android adapter, works fine out of the box on my tv stick.
Aside from the Skype problem above (REALLY annoying!), not too many cons to be honest, just minor niggles mainly with some apps not being suited to it.
-Youtube seems to have lost its ability to go full screen for some reason, works fine on my Nexus 7 and is the same version.
-I have tried a few DLNA media apps to try and view pictures, videos etc from my NAS and they appear to be occasionally laggy across my network, the media app that came with the stick seems to work the best but looks pants!
-Watching films is generally a good experience, but the rendering isn't fantastic on darker films, probably mainly due to the quality of videos I have. Youtube HD videos are perfect.
-Google earth works but there doesn't seem to be any zoom buttons so is useless, i haven't looked into that yet.
All in all i'm happy with it, I bought a Xenta bluetooth keyboard with built in mouse which connects fine directly with the built in bluetooth. The mouse is a bit frustrating though so will be buying a bluetooth mouse.
Hope that helps
hi sadsplace, im just thinking of buying one, are you still happy 2 weeks in, any new suggestions?
thanks

No Skype calls on new MK 809 II
I just got this new TV stick which seems to be working fine. Still, I'm unable to make calls in Skype. I attached a USB webcam and I also paired a bluetooth headset, I enabled video calls in Skype, but when I get to call anyone, after 2 or 3 rings, the call fails no matter if the other party answered or not. The only error message I see is "Call failed".
If anyone experienced this, is there a way to at least see if the webcam and the BT microphone are correctly installed? I tried several webcam apps from Google Play just to get an immage on my screen and finally I got one, but not in Skype.. .

Hi all! My boss has the Edge + (as do I) and is having all sorts of issues with the bluetooth connectivity in his BMW. It keeps dropping in and out. The calls don't drop; the bluetooth drops and then reconnects. He's a business owner and makes tons of calls from his car, so as you can imagine, this is quite frustrating (and embarrassing).
Anyone else having similar issues?????
Appreciate your help.
I'm actually having similar issues now in my Ford Fusion. It will connect, but won't let me make calls or listen to music. When I attempt to play music it will say that BT media has been disconnected. Upon checking the status on my phone the media turns off, but the phone is still connected. However, neither really works. It's frustrating as it worked for several days when I first got the phone but then suddenly stopped.
Audi mmi works great. Maybe call your dealership and see if they have a update for the system?

My advice for the BMW is to check the firmware update for the specific model of car of your boss on the BMW website
It is not very much intuitive but I can assure there is this possibility and also the new firmware download is possible
I've been using a Note 3 for two years on my BMW 530 and at the beginning with their old firmware I had similar issues, then it was very stable with both music and phone calls. Now I'm using the Edge + without any trouble
No problem with Bluetooth on my Toyota Auris Touring Sport HSD, sometimes sms are not showned but they are well received by the car when I check them, and calls work fine. So as dengi_it told you maybe a firmware issue with your car.
I heard somewhere BMW and Mercedes will have some discussion to link iPhone and cars together maybe they won't support Android phone anymore in the future :s.
Thanks, all. Going to pass along this advice. Appreciate it!
Tell him to buy a new car!

Yes, I have the same issue in my 2015 M5. Bluetooth is essentially unusable after the latest update (OH5). This phone is going back.
UPDATE: He factory reset his phone and it seems to have fixed the issue. ::fingers crossed::

This is my second S6 Edge+. I thought it was possibly a hardware defect with the first but after the second one I am led to believe it's a typical shoddy samsung update. A factory reset will fix the problem for a few days and it will begin again.
Picking up the new iphone 6s+ on Friday. I've had enough of the bluetooth issues.

Sorry to hear. Good luck!
Works fine in 2011 Hyundai Sonata.
I am having a lot of Bluetooth issues on my Elantra. Works for few days and then it just fails to connect and I have to delete my car from my phone and from my car stereo just to get it to connect. It is a freaking pain in the butt. This is my second Galaxy S6 I have gotten and it seems mostly to be a software issue then a hardware one.
