8900 Bluetooth interference issue

I have an 8900 which I use with a Samsung A2DP bluetooth headset.
There appears to be a serious interference issue with the phone when connected to the headset (or any headset for that matter) which results in the audio cutting out for extended periods of time.
I have tried my headset on another device, another identical headset on my 8900 and had the headset replaced.
Interestingly, the interference appears to be influenced by my physical location - for e.g., I get NO interference when I am in the car, extreme interference when walking from the carpark building to my office and mild interference at home, which increases when I go out to the letterbox.
On another device, the headset experiences absolutely no noticeable interference what-so-ever.
I am running:
Platform: 4.2.0.108
App Version: 4.6.1.231 (353) which is a partner release of the firmware AFAIK. The issue existed before upgrading also.
My main issue is that the device is an Alliance sourced item and will not be repaired/replaced by the local service agent (0044 IMEI) - so I am looking for any assistance on software/firmware that will help overcome this issue.
Cheers, Jeff

I have a similar issue, When I'm listening to music I will get the cutting out on my bluetooth headset. It doesn't cut out any other time. I called T-Mobile to see if they could help. The rep called Blackberry support (while I was holding) who assured her that this was an issue with the headset not the phone. I've had my 8900 for about 3 weeks. The first couple of days using the headset it seemed to work fine. I didn't use it for almost 2 weeks then when I began using it (the headset) again it was doing this cutting out.
This cutting out may not even be related to the original post here but maybe we can figure something out.

Is there anything else i can do before i take it in.
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Please see this KB
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
While it discusses transferring between two BB's, the process is the same -- you must set the receiving BB up for receipt before initiating the send from the other device.
Let us know how it goes!

IPhone Wifi and Bluetooth interference when used simultaneously

I am presently using AirFoiI to stream audio from my PC to my iPhone. AirFoil uses the same protocols as AirPlay. AirFoil/AirPlay streams an Alac audio codec using a bandwith of 1,50 Mbs on average irrespective of the audio codec and bit rate of the source file.
The audio stream received on my iPhone through WiFi is send over simultaneously to my Bluetooth speaker.
When using AirFoil/AirPlay, I regularly hear distortions at the beginning of a track and also randomly when a track is playing. The distortions are a lot more when I move the iPhone around. I am almost 100% sure that these sound distortions are because of Bluetooth interference on the iPhone itself when simultaneously receiving an audio stream from AirFoil/AirPlay and sending an audio stream over bluetooth to my speaker.
I also have done some tests using "Net Meter" and "TCP-view" from Sysinternals on my Windows 7 PC. On "Net Meter" I have never seen any WiFi drop outs or distortions regarding my home network.
My bluetooth speaker supports the A2DP AAC audio codec. This was an important feature for me before I bought the device because the AAC audio codec provides normally a relatively good audio quality over Bluetooth. At the time it did not occur to me that there might be a possible Bluetooth interference coming from my iPhone itself. I presumed that the Bluetooth on the iPhone would use a 2,4 Ghz RF channel not in use by WiFi so that WiFi and Bluetooth used on the same device simultaneously could never distort each other. I was clearly wrong. Put shortly, the problems I encounter are presumably solely caused by the firmware/software on my iPhone. I hope this will eventually be resolved with some future iOs 8 updates. There were indeed many people having Bluetooth issues since iOs 8.
I know the best solution would be to wire my speaker optically with an AirPort Express or an Apple TV. I have not yet decided between the two.
Even when there exists a "wired" solution, I think an expensive device such as an iPhone should be able to make sure that there is never interference between WiFi and Bluetooth when used simultaneously on the SAME device/iPhone.
I hope that some specialists will give their views on my "nonprofessional" analysis and some more in-depth information.

Now will this work:
Airport extreme set to BOTH frequencies and my older wifi stuff like Iphone and printer will automatically connect via 2.4GHz and Macbook will connect to 5GHz so that it will not longe be disruppted by bluetooth?
Unfortunately, no one can predict exactly what will happen in advance with wireless and interference issues. Your chances will improve, though. It might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.
What if the Macbook will not connect automatically to the 5Ghz network because the 2.4 stream may be slightly stronger. Is there a way to force macbook to connect to 5Ghz?
Yes, use the option to assign a separate wireless network name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" your MacBook to that network. The other 2.4 GHz devices will connect to the 2.4 GHz band.

Bluetooth Mouse Issues

Anybody having bluetooth connectivity issues after devices are paired? Periodically, my mouse stops working and I have to turn it off and back on for it to reconnect. Mouse doesn't do this when paired with my old Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.-bp

Hi All, I have been experiencing this random disconnect problem as well. Sometimes it came good and then sometimes I had to remove and reinstall the same as everyone else.
My problem is with a Logitech V470 mouse. <o:p></o:p>
Recently the symptoms changed and it became a permanent device instead of a bluetooth connected device. <o:p></o:p>
Furthermore, it couldn't be removed at all. The only way to remove it was to uninstall all of the Bluetooth module drivers. When the system rebooted,
it again loaded as a permanent device along with printers. Please note I'm talking about it being fully connected but not functioning whether it was turned on or off (present or not present). I wondered what had changed this time to make this significant
change in behaviour. Okay time to roll-back updates and go to a previous restore point/s. Guess what, problem solved! I had to go back two restore points to fix the problem. What was it, it was a JAVASCRIPT auto update!<o:p></o:p>
Once I past (rolled back) the most recent Javascript update the mouse returned to a bluetooth connected device and I could disconnect and reconnect. Javascript
changed the way this device was being recognised and connected.
JAVASCRIPT is underlying all of these problems of connection. Roll it back and suddenly you'll have control again! Hopefully Oracle will soon fix
this, until then, I'm disabling updates of JAVA.<o:p></o:p>

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

Bluetooth connection issues after update

Is anyone experiencing bluetooth connection issues after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3? I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and now it won't connect to my car bluetooth and my bluetooth speaker will sound like it has static from time to time.

Hi, joshzik.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing issues with various Bluetooth devices and your iPhone. Sometimes pairing the devices again can resolve the issue. However, here are a couple articles that have some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding Bluetooth connectivity and an iOS device.

Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??

Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??
All I was wondering if anyone was having issues with Lightrooms beta and pointing devices… while I’m sure the Wacom Introus4 is dying in Lightroom I can’t verify that my Mouse is as well.
I’m using the most recent Beta of Lightroom and Wacom Tablet Driver 615-3a… I’m sure the issue dosent reside with another program because the tablet only stops working in Lightroom. Basically I loose all tablet functionality until I reboot whin I attempt to access the Film Strip… I’ve repeated a few times and with each it dies…

Unfortunately, although you are getting problems with your Wacom and Lr, the solution for the short term is to re-install an older driver for the tablet until Wacom come up with a new update to fix the prolem. This has been a long running problem for users when operating Lr with Wacom tablets.
(I offer this solution not from personal experience, but from what other tablet users have reported in previous threads, and there have been several).

Apple is experiencing Bluetooth compatibilty issue since they have upgraded their Bluetooth from 2.1 to 4.0.

Apple is experiencing Bluetooth compatibilty issue since they have upgraded their Bluetooth from 2.1 to 4.0. Is this the case with Ipad 4 I have a logictech keyboard and the ipad cant dicover it. Please advise

I wouldn't delete the firewall configuration as described above as you would lose all your rules that you have in place for your firewall. I do however think it could be a firewall rule issue. You could temporarily disable the firewall on the mac System Preferences > Security > Firewall to prove this without deleting all your rules by deleting that file. If this works then have a look at the rules you have in place and maybe make an exception to this set of rules.
The 169..*. address you have is known as a APIPA address and is normally the address that you will receive when the DHCP client fails to find a DHCP server so this could be either sending or receiving data to the device that is blocked. DHCP needs to DORA (Discover, Offer, Receive and then Accept), which is a two way communication.
Kind Regards

Interference issues

I have set up a WRT54G and WAP54G as a repeater (as per linksys answer 231 and 4200). These units are 1300 feet apart. I am using identical circular polarizing antennas on one of the antenna connections to the units.
I have only a few trees within the line of sight which is why I used circular polarizing antennas. There is also one residence between the antennas. The straight line path between the antenna is about 6 feet over the residence. I believe I have an interference issue.
I have experience great connectivity at times, but have no connection at other times. I have experimented with observing the pings between the units and at times will seldom miss a ping. At other times, I cannot get a ping to hit. I have tried various channels without any different success.
I do not know whether the neighbor is creating an interference or whether the antennas may pick up other signals in the background. I also have wireless broadband service which their radios are close to similar antenna alignment, but I would think they operate at 5 mgH and if they interfered, then it would be continuous interference. There are some other businesses located at some distance behind my antennas. I don't think it is the trees, as I have great connections that last for long periods of time. There is no set pattern to when I have connections. Sometimes, I connect during daylight hours and evening hours, but generally early morning hours (12am-8 am) are the best.
Any suggestions?

Try changing the wireless settings on the router
channel - either 1 or 11
beacon interval - 50
fragmentation and RTS threshold - 2304
also ensure that both the devices have latest firmware....

Bluetooth Stereo Issues

I have tried the Sony Ericsson HBHDS980 and HBHDS205 both have drop call issues. Music works flawlessly, but whenever I receive a call or try to call someone, the connection always drop after a while. I have had the drop call issue with the HBHDS980 on other Win Mobile phones. I am just wondering if others have issues with stereo bluetooth head set. I have a blueant V1 which works flawlessly for calls but it's not stereo.

How do you mean car update? The head unit is aftermarket not built-in so the car itself does not have Bluetooth. It's worth noting (I forget whether I already did or not) that the Bluetooth streaming works perfectly with my iPhone 5 just not with the Sony. I'm now on my second Xperia Z2 as the first one's call quality was abysmal. While this one seems a **bleep** of a lot better this Bluetooth streaming issue is actually doing my head in and making me want to change phones completely.

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Many people are finding their Iphone 4S drops connection with their VW (Passat etc) integrated bluetooth hands free system after working fine for 5, 10, 20 minutes. The only way to reconnect is to switch the car off or turn the Iphone bluetooth off & back on.
This is a dangerous fault and it appears that both Apple & VW have no solution (or are ignoring as they have already sold you a phone & a car).

Bluetooth reception issue

Usually bluetooth works ok; but recently; when using my Sony BT22 headphones on my iphone 4 for simple bluetooth reception; the signal would cut out every time I put the phone in my back pocket. I traced it to a weak signal would I could interrupt when I put my hand over the top of the phone. (I have a speck candyshell case) But the problem did not occur in my car for some reason. I'm stumped. Is it that the headset just had a low battery? A phone prob? A case problem? Interference from a grocery store security system?
Any ideas?
thx

Perhaps a solution is an iphone update that boosts the signal?
Sony tech support says this for my phones:
Thank you for contacting Sony Support.
I'm sorry that there is distorted sound from the Bluetooth stereo headset. Based on the information you've provided, I suggest that try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Ensure that this unit is not receiving interference from a wireless LAN, other 2.4 GHz wireless device, or microwave oven.
2. check that the volume of the unit is not set too low.
3. Turn up the volume on the connected device if necessary.
4. Pair this unit and Bluetooth device again.
5. If the issue persist, reset the unit. Pairing information is not deleted by this operation. Insert a small pin, etc, into the hole, and push until you feel a click and check the operation.
Thank you for your time.

Bluetooth interference - monitor in another room connected to AP Extreme BS

This is a weird one.
In my home office/studio I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and a Magic Mouse (I don't know whether this is relevant, but it's connected to a Mac Pro; the internal BT antenna is disconnected and replaced by an external 2.4GHz wi-fi antenna, since the signal is normally too weak...here's a link to a blog that explains the issue: http://nobblynoel.wordpress.com/2010/04/25/mac-pro-2009-bluetooth-fix/).
My wife has a 27" iMac in her office on the other side of the house, connected to the AEBS at n speed (5GHz).
Whenever she turns on a standard TV monitor that's connected to the iMac by an HDMI cable (she uses it as a second monitor for video editing), my BT mouse gets jumpy.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? The TV monitor is at the other end of the house, so I don't understand the interference.
Would it help to extend the network with an Airport Express?
TIA

This is a link to a discussion of the Bluetooth/Mac Pro issue that explains why I have a wi-fi antenna.
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2231119&start=180&tstart= 0
Again, I don't know whether that's relevant; the point is that turning on a TV in the other room interferes with Bluetooth in this room. And by the way the problem goes away if I turn off the AEBS, so it's definitely a wi-fi-related murder.

IS07 Car Music Bluetooth Streaming Issue - Help Needed

I drive an Audi A1 which I have owned from new 11 months ago. I updated my iPhone 5 to the IS 7.0.4 around 1 month ago and since doing that I now have streaming issues in my car. The connection is via bluetooth, and the music is streamed from my iPhone, however since the update the music cuts out, skips and pauses............
I took the car to a service centre today where it was confirmed a known issue within the Audi network.
So how do we go around this? What do I need in order to stream music without the interference? I am pretty sure Apple wouldn't want to pay my car invoice for the added extras that I purchased in order for me to enjoy my music so surely there must be a way around this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

This is not about law, it's about software/hardware. But since you're bringing it up, when Siri was introduced for the iPhone 4s, there was a man in a car using siri with his apple earplugs. I searched for law about this in my country (Netherlands) and it's not forbidden.
Now back to my issue: I want to use a headphone to listen to music and I want to make a call through bluetooth. Iphone doesn't remember I was listening to the music through the headphone. Issue, right?
