Why is Bluetooth so bad?

I'm running 10.6.8. I've tried two different Bluetooth speakers both with my Macbook Pro and my iphone and ipad. The MBP's Bluetooth performance is just terrible! The speaker is right next to the laptop. The problem is that if I stop listening to music for a few minutes, or even sometimes when I switch between apps the audio starts to stop and stutter. The only way to fix it is to go to the Bluetooth menu icon and select "don't use as audio device" and then select it again. This is really, really annoying. Anyway to fix this? I've searched around and read that many people complain about Bluetooth in OSX.
Thanks

  • Why is bluetooth turned on by default in idevices?

    why is bluetooth turned on by default in idevices? it drains the battery looking for devices that might not even be available. Every time you do a software update bluetooth is back on even if it was turned off before the update.

    Probably on so iBeacons will work.

  • Why Are Frames So Bad?

    This is one of those 'big picture' questions. Sorry for the length. The actual question is at the end.
    I don't claim to be much of a 'designer'. I'm a musician.
    I have a web site I am trying to update to make 'accessible'. And it uses frames.
    http://www.jchmusic.com
    I have read the various arguments for not using frames and most of the technical arguments seem a bit spurious (accessibility and search engines both seem to work fine in my tests.) The only one that really makes sense -today- is the inability to bookmark within the site. I have not figured a way around -that-.
    But -every- web design article I have read totally disdains the use of frames. It seems far beyond the technical arguments. So I'm hoping to get some input as to -why- this is the case.
    I use frames for two main reasons:
    1. Manageability. I used to program and the idea of including the same menu code on each page seems ridiculous. Frames seem a lot easier to manage and far less error-prone.
    2. I like having the menu stay in one place as the user scrolls. Like a 'real' application. I -hate- how the menu or page title just scrolls off to nowhere on most sites. It just looks ----so---- ugly to me.
    Anyhoo, sorry for banging on. Other than the bookmark thing, I wonder why almost no designers use frames. I just don't get it. If I ditch frames, it will be a lot of work so I'm hoping someone who knows what they're doing (unlike me) will help talk me out of my delusions.
    TIA,
    ---JC

    1) hard to print pages.
    2) hard to bookmark pages.
    3) hard to navigate framed sites with keyboard (accessibility WAI)
    4) frames complicate your site.
    5) mobile devices don't support frames.
    7) web assistive technologies don't like frames.
    6) W3C dropped frame support from  HTML 5.0

  • IPad clipboard - one reason, why it is so bad for me

    iPad clipboard - one reason, why it is so bad for me
    search for adresses on an app for that and export the found adresses per email;
    THe first task goes well; further adresses (say, I need today three adresses from acertain village) are going wrong. Can anyone consider, why?

    Fourth time, because my first three answers were blowing in the wind, gefressen guzzled by the clipboard or reloading safaripage, the third by notes, never I have seen there have been  hundred of chars eaten by notes.
    1) I have an application (“app”) to search addresses in austria as there is a phone-number connected.
    2) I can generate a contact entry with the result or export it in various channels, say I send it per e-mail to me (for using it on an other device outside iOS or send it to a collegue.)
    3) If there are more than one wanted results, I have to send them one by one.
    4) Looking for the e-mails, they may have a totally senseless content (an earlier clipboard-content) or
    every e-mail has the same content: the first address in the results-list.
    5) Please do not ask me, why this is. I would be glad to hear from you how to stop this behavior of
    iPad (with wich I was really happy for years and which is since month not helpful but the source of nuisance friendly said on every use
    daily, hourly, eight times or so every hour)
    {see https://discussions.apple.com/message/26921591?ac_cid=op123456#26921591}
    And yes I have tried all resettings though not the one to delete all content, perhaps Apple can find a better solution for me (so I thought weeks before).

  • Why my bluetooth does not work anymore?

    Why my bluetooth does not work anymore? What can I do?  Before I just turn on bluetooth then turn off it, and it worked properly. Now it does not work. I don't understand why.......

    Works fine for me.
    What exactly is it not doing?

  • Why is multiple inheritance bad?

    Hi all,
    Can someone give me examples explaining why multiple
    inheritence is bad?
    My arguments, why the absence multiple inheritence
    is bad are below:
    1) The absence of multiple inheritance gives me sometimes
    headaches. If I implement an interface for overriding just
    one method, I must then in some cases (likely in
    AWT-programming) "empty-implement" 10 other methods.
    2) If I use the adapter class to avoid this, then I cannot
    derive my class from another one.

    In my opinion, the lack of multiple inheritance is
    not a real problem. You can easily bypass this using
    a delegate pattern. Example:
    class Base1 {
    public void method1() {
    class Base2 {
    public void method2() {
    If you want to create a class which inherits from
    Base1 and Base2, take the following approach:
    Create Interfaces for Base1 and Base2:
    intface BaseInterface1 {
    public void method1();
    interface BaseInterface22 {
    public void method2();
    Now, let Base1 and Base2 implement the Interfaces.
    class Base1 implements Base1Interface {
    public void method1() {
    class Base2 implements Base2Interface {
    public void method2() {
    The the subclass can inherit from one baseclass
    and implement the other one. Base2 is an attribute
    (instance variable) of the new class:
    class Devided extends Base1 implements Base2Interface {
    Base2 base2;
    // Methods of Base2Interface:
    public void method2() {
    base2.method2();
    This looks like a lot of handcraft, but modern IDEs
    like Eclipse or VisualAge (ok, not really modern)
    give the developer the advantages of self-written
    plug-ins. Using such a plug-in, you can easily
    automate the creation of the interfaces and the
    delegate. In my previous company we wrote several
    "wizards" for VisualAge to prevent us from doing
    stupid steps again and again.

  • Why no bluetooth in connection manager ?

    PC Suite 6.80.22 cannot connect to my phone (6021) via bluetooth.
    When I run the Nokia connection manager, I can only choose infrared, serial data cable and usb data cable.
    I do not have bluetooth !
    When I use the windows explorer, I can make a connection there and I can manage files (upload, remove, download).
    So I am sure my bluetooth device (Trust BT120) is installed and working correctly in my OS (Win2k SP4).
    In my device manager, the bluetooth device is reported as a lan device.
    I already re-installed the pc suite.
    My question is : why don't i have bluetooth in the connection manager ?

    Are you using a Mac?
    If yes the following is irellevant...just incase..
    Connecting the Phone to a USB Bluetooth Dongle. Using PC Suite.
    Yesterday, I stayed up all night to figure this out. I called nokia support to see what they can do, and apparently the new drivers from Sitecom (the BT adaptor that I use) creates a "Cloak" over the Microsoft ones. (This is only if you have SP2!!)
    Required for these steps:
    ~PC Running Windows XP on Service Pack 2. (how do I know if I have Service pack 1/2? Go to Start > Controll Panel > Classic View (on the top left corner, or if you already are then ignore this) > System. In system it will say which serivce pack you are running.
    ~PC Suite version 6.80.22 or later.
    ~Bluetooth Adaptor + Drivers for it
    ~Nokia Phone supporting a bluetooth In/Out connection.
    ~Patience (this may take half an hour depending on your PC Spec) (Took me 15 minutes)
    So here is what I did:
    First of all close all programs that you dont need running.
    Start > Controll Panel > Add Remove Programs > Sitecom drivers
    Remove ALL Sitecom (or which ever company's you use).
    Reboot Computer.
    Next put the CD/Floopy in the PC or folder that you downloaded have ready on your desktop, containing the drivers required for your adaptor.
    If a autorun comes up cancel it.
    Plug in your bluetooth adaptor to a permanent usb port! The port you plug it into will be the only and only port that you can run bluetooth from, dont ask me why. So use a good safe place. (I put mine in the back of my PC, not the front.)
    Windows will now say that it has found new hardware. It will ask you if it can search the internet for drivers, click > Yes This Time Only.
    It will search and wont find anything.
    Now it will ask you if it can search for drivers on the PC, click : Yes, and tell it where the drivers are located, CD/Floppy, Folder. eg: E:\Sitecom/drivers/XP
    Let it install. It will finish, then suddenly re-open.
    Run the same step as above again. (dont ask me why..it just installes some more drivers.)
    Finally it will finish and say that your software is ready to be used.
    DONT TRY TO USE IT! THE SOFTWARE REQUIRED ISNT RUNNING YET. DONT RUN PC SUITE EITHER! DONT QUIT PC SUITE, AND DONT TRY TO USE THE CONNECTION MANAGER.
    REBOT the PC.
    Now when you go into PC Suite > Connection Manager, you should find a new connection. In my case:
    Bluetooth (Sitecom)
    and the old bluetooth connection looks like this:
    Bluetooth (Microsoft)
    The connection is very fast and stable. You can browse the phone as if it is cable connected which is awsome. Transfer speed depends on your adaptor, but it averages between 1 - 3 Megabites Per Second.
    Hopefully this works for you too!
    Good Luck,
    Tal

  • Why is Apple so bad at providing customers with information on what the problem with email is and what they are doing to fix it?

    Why is apple not providing information on what the problem withe email is and what they are doing to fix, along with a time frame for fixing the problem.

    It was because the problem was major.  If you do not know tech, you should know that a two day outage usually indicates some type of virus, hack, or a bad software load that they had to unravel.  The common way to solve that is to rebuild servers and put back into service.  That takes time.
    Apple did not want to admit this problem.  My guess at this stange was that they loaded new software that might be associated with the new IOS and it crashed.  To reveal this would be to cast into doubt their future revenue.
    Either way.  Run do not walk away from Icloud products and services.  Apple has demonstrated they can not be a business partner.

  • Why use filters in BADI (SAP-ABAP) when same can be achieved using paramete

    Hello Experts!
    I am a newbie in SAP and this might be a very basic question so, i am sorry for that!
    I was wondering, what is the use of "filters(flt_val)" in BADI (SAP-ABAP) ?
    I guess we can achieve the same using parameters ?
    I know that we can pass structure as flt_val, thus reducing the no. of parameters sent. I also read about sending country and things like that to our BADIs to behave differently based on that.
    (i.e. say tax rates differ from country to country so may be we can set tax rate of GB to 16 or something..)
    but still i am confused about the significance of Filters.
    I will be grateful, if anyone could answer this one...
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Rgds,
    Mayur

    Hello Mr. Venu,
    Thanks for your answer. It helped somewhat, but it's not solved the doubt to 100%... 
    Please let me ask you for some more information on this one and please correct if i am wrong: -
    Suppose, there are 10 company codes that we need to handle, so as you said, we have 10 implementations of the BADI.
    We decide to use company code as filter. We have 10 different implementations of BADI, which are deveoped
    by 10 different teams(or 10 members of the same team etc..). 
    This will have 10 different Active implementations of our BADI. and based on the filter, respective impls are called.
    Is this right or wrong?
    If right, then why not use parameters instead? They can do the same!
    If wrong, i am sorry, but could you elaborate about the mistake?
    Thanks again,
    Mayur.

  • Why Does Bluetooth Sound Like Pure Crap in OS X?

    Using a brand new pair of Bluetooth Headphones running 4.0 with A2DP and a complete stack of other profiles.
    Headphones sound amazing on my iPhone 5 and other devices (such as my iPad and Nexus) but they sound tragic on my MB Air 10.8
    I've manually changed the Minimum Bitpool in Bluetooth Explorer from 40 to a max of 64 - nothing. Sounds terrible.
    Is OS X sending out the signal via A2DP, what's going on here? Why isn't replicating the signal from my iPhone 5 for example?
    Any ideas?

    Just a suggestion, when you set up BT it makes two devices for output, one is a mono output, the other is a stereo output.
    In the Sound applet, click the output tab and scroll down, make sure you have the stereo option selected. in mine I have MR010 and MR010 Stereo, but I have to scroll down the devices to see the stereo option.
    I hope you get it sorted out.

  • Why are chargers so bad?

    Why are the chargers so bad? I have 4 devices and one barely working charger I asked if I could get a replacement but I can't since I've threw them away, you'd think they would make allowances considering the money these devices cost and the fact I have four devices. I thought apple customer satisfaction was suppose to be the best! I may as well go back to samsung at least I know what I'm getting. Thanks apple!

    Hey X303, With no proof, what do you expect Apple to do? It's a little like going into a bank with an empty box, telling them, "this box was full of gold, will you fill it up again." No company is going to replace a missing non-existent device. With that said, one defective cable, I would say Apple fix it. But four cables?!? That clearly points at something your doing. I have three lighting cables, have had them for over a year-- no issues with any of them. The lighting cables are not as robust as earlier types, but take a look at your habits. Here are things to avoid and things try. Things to avoid: Do you ever pull, attempt to stretch or go beyond the length of the cable. Do you you twist the cable, or bend it sharply? when not in use do you wrap the cable tightly or do you wrap it around something when not in use. Last do you remove or attempt to plug in the cable by grabbing the cable and pulling / pushing. OR things to try: Do you keep the cable loose, maintain a little slack at all times, avoid pulling and stretching. Avoid sharply bending and twisting. When storing, keep it loose. And lastly never plug in or unplug the cable by pulling / pushing on the cable, always handle from the cable end. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.
