Any way to boost bluetooth range

Now I know this is not a typical issue, but I was hoping some of you may have some solutions. I just purchased an iPhone 4 for my brother. He loves it, but the problem is he works in harsh environments (namely, on top of roofs in FL needless to say in sweltering heat). What he would like to be able to do is keep the phone in an airconditioned place like a car or home at a workshop where possible, and use a bluetooth headset for music and calls. Of course, this runs into the problem of range. I have looked, but I haven't been able to find any type of 'bluetooth signal booster' for something like an iphone (although there are apparenly such things for Macs and PCs with USB ports).
Anyone know of anything like that, or any other ideas for solutions?
BTW, he's got the toughest case we can find on the market yet and the film, but he's still not comfortable taking it with him on some jobs for obvious reasons.
Thanks!

Unfortunately even if there was a Bluetooth Booster, it wouldn't reach the headset. In most first floor to second floor to another measurement is 20 feet give or take. Some documented as 10 feet each. We'll say 20 feet each
Depending on how many floors to the roof (say two/three floors from level 1) it's 40/60 feet.
Bluetooth signals reach up to 30 feet in most devices other than the i4. You can equip a sound out to a bluetooth ranger but that varies in how wide it can without messing with the i4. But you'll lose controls on the i4.

Any way to boost or re-route signal?

I just got my new mac pro set up with wireless keyboard and mouse. My excitement was diminished soon when my mouse dragging was very hindered. I searched the forums, and found out that the problem was caused by my steel desk- the computer is under it. (the only place for it). Is there any way of boosting or re-routing the signal. Again, I have no where else to put the computer, and would like to be able to use the wireless mouse.
Thanks

If you are one of the unlucky ones, your wires inside may not be connected correctly to the right terminal. There are many threads about whether one uses the wire labeled BT or #1 to connect to the Bluetooth module. You may want to test by using your mouse at the same level as your Mac Pro, some distance away from your steel desk. My BT Mighty Mouse is over 10 feet away, and it is discovered immediately by the MP. If you don't have that kind of range using direct line-of-sight, your wires may be mislabeled inside the MP.

Any way to boost audio input when recording?

Hi; I have been recording speech interviews with Audio-Technica mics on a ProTools set-up and they've sounded great.
I've recently tried recording using the mics in Garageband using a M-Audio Mobile Pre USB, but the audio levels are always too low unless the subject is an inch or two from the mic, which isn't the best way to get quality audio.
Is there any way to boost the audio input when recording in GB or any other tricks people know of?
thx, Charlie

I'm actually having the same problem, except I'm recording straight into the computer (no interface).
I tried using an MBox, but the computer won't even recognize it...(if anyone's got suggestions for why that is, I'll gladly take them...).
My main question is the same as Charles's, however - how come the input level is so soft when recording using the "Built-In Input" (where I can use a mic, and have mobility) as opposed to the "Built-In Microphone"?

Is there any way to boost a signal.

The television signal to each unit gets lost every hour for about 5 minutes, and the tech can't come back for 5 days according to the 800-Comcast. Is there any way to boost the signal in the mean time?

Yes, but if you select the wrong equipment, you could be adding to your issues or your neighbors.... it is best to let the onsite Tech make the determination of what equpment you need and he/she has available to install.

If you're using the external D-link adapter, all that's necessary is to obtain a USB extension cable and put the adapter closer to the mouse.
If you have the internal BT, you might wish to investigate to see if the D-link will work for you. The adapter isn't very expensive (roughly $50) but it's in the type of bubble-pack that requires blasting caps to open. Make certain that the retailer will allow you to return an opened package in case it doesn't work.

If you gave some information on what network equipment you are using (make, model, version) and where you are experiencing signal problems it would help in giving advice.

You can increase iTunes volume by choosing Show Equalizer, select the Preamp checkbox, and move the slider up.

Any way to boost mobile coverage in weak area? Android

I go to a place in the Colorado mountains right on the edge of Verizon coverage. I used to get consistent mobile connectiviity, but now sometimes I don't. It shows one bar, but calls or texts may or may not go though. Does anyone know of anything I can do with my phone itself to increase the likihood of successful phone coverage? I have a Samsung Stratosphere.

Hey there, userx! Thanks for sharing your service concerns. We want to be there to support you, too! I don't know of a way to boost service on the device itself, as it's designed on a fundamental level to capture the strongest signal available. I don't know what this place in Colorado may be, but I may have another suggestion. If this place is a residence with high speed/broadband internet, you may also consider a Network Extender: http://vz.to/IHRT6h. My father loves his!

Any way to boost the Bluetooth receiver on a MBP?

How can I boost the Bluetooth receiver on a MBP? In my current setup, I have my MBP to the left while I have an external monitor in the middle that acts as my primary monitor. So, since my Bluetooth mouse is on my right, the distance is about 1.5 feet from my MBP and therefore the Bluetooth signal is weaker, so the mouse sometimes lags across the screen when moving it around.

If this is physical media rather than a VTL, then you can always write protect or even export the volume, so it won't be written to, if you don't want it.
The write window will be correctly applied when the tape has expired and is written to again. You can't edit the write window on the tape, you can only increase the amount of time the tape is kept with the retain options.
Thanks

Is there any way to use bluetooth and force audio out at the same time?

I have an older treadmill that uses IFit which means a program on my phone controls my treadmill via an aux audio cable. I like using BT headphones so I don't have cords hanging. So...I'm trying to figure some way to either a) have iphone connected physically to treadmill but bt'ing music to my headphones at the same time or b) get iphone to communicate with two different bt devices simultaneously. (Treadmill can also be controlled via BT, but I still need the BT for headphones)
Any ideas would be great. I currently have cable running from treadmill to iphone and headphones via a splitter but it's a LOT of cord hanging which makes things difficult.

No. FaceTime is one on one only.

Is there any way to boost flash performance in a MAC?

As I said... is it possible? Why is it too slow?
Any answer is welcome.
THANKS!

Are you referring to the IDE or the player?
if its the IDE, then you'll need to wait for Flash 9 which
will be
intel Native, if its playback then using the 9r28 player has
yielded
much better performance in our testing

Is there any way for 2 bluetooth headsets to participate in a FaceTime call on the same device?

From what I can tell, one cannot use two Bluetooth headsets at the same time, using the built-in reciever. However, it seems as though one can transmit audio to 2 devices using the KOKKIA i10, but the deal breaker is: can one send audio using 2 headets? Is there some obscure version of the Kokkia that will reciever audio as well?

It sounds like you are using two independent libraries with a common media folder, whereas the plan would have been to ensure that both profiles were using the same library library database. Although you can place this within the Public folder I would normally create a shared library at the root of a drive, e.g. at X:\iTunes where X: is the drive that you want to use. See Make a split library portable for information on moving the library around back into a standard shape.
As for duplicates, Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Is there any way to use bluetooth to transfer photos from iPhone 4 to non apple devices?

I am using an Iphone 4 and wanted to understand if it is anyway possible to send photos from my Iphone to my Blackberry via bluetooth directly. It seems a pretty basic phone feature is missing.

If your luxury Mercedes didn't come with air-conditioning, no other alternative is provided by the manufacturer for keeping you cool. The iPhone has many (faster) alternative methods for sharing photos. Bluetooth is slow. It's far quicker to share a photo via multiple methods (email, file sharing apps, facebook etc.) over the internet, especially given the file size of average iPhone photos these days.
In the time you've shared just one photo, with one person within 10 metres of you, over Bluetooth, I could've shared half a dozen photos with an unlimited number of people, located anywhere in the world.
I guess you're happy using 15 year old methods of file transfer. You'll be asking for a dial-up connection to the internet next!!

Is there any way to turn my Bluetooth LED on again?

My Bluetooth is working (send/receive).
But the Bluetooth LED indicator doesn't on.
Anyone got the same problem?
Z60m 2529 EAU
Bluetooth Firmware's version is 299 and the software is 7kbf09ww.

I thought that too, but I am 100% sure it is not now.
I made it light on again some times, by reinstall XP and did some configure of wireless and Bluetooth.
I just can't make it light on again in the recent couple try.
I am thinking about the firmware problems.
( After I got problem with Bluetooth firmware update, some times ago. I got this problem)
Is there any way to refresh my Bluetooth firmware back to version 208?
Bluetooth is working fine. Just don't feel good about that indicator is not working.
