Nokia N9 bluetooth range

I'm trying to use Nokia N9 with long range bluetooth headset (Motorola HX550).
It doesn't seems to me that it works up to 100 m.
Motorola stated that the phone must be BLUETOOTH® RANGE Class 1 compatible.
Is Nokia N9 Class 1 compatible?

Lost Bluetooth range after 10.4.7 update

Using salling clicker and basic browsing and file transfer in OS X, on my 15" powerbook 1.25ghz
I used to have the normal 30 foot average range. I could work in the kitchen and control itunes via salling clicker.
after the update my bluetooth range is now no more than two feet.
also to connect from computer to phone or vice versa, I have to turn off/on bluetooth on my powerbook.
what gives?
the update isn't worth the frustration. Is there a way to reverse update?

Sorry I forgot,
I'm using a sony ericsson w600i

Limited Bluetooth Range in 15" Al PowerBook- fix or USB workaround?

Recently picked up a used 1.5GHz AlBook (2 years left on Applecare). Just discovered that the built-in Bluetooth range is VERY limited- less than 2 feet. I can take it in for Applecare when I have the time to do without the machine for a week, but in the meantime, is there a way to turn off the internal Bluetooth so I can use my (more reliable) USB bluetooth key instead?
Has anybody run across this issue before?

Wow! That's an incredibly short range! I understand that parting from your computer is something hard, especially if that the only computer you have.
Anyway... if you go to System Preferences>Bluetooth>Settings you'll find a way to turn it off.
But never mind what the built-in bluetooth is, just connect your dongle and it should work right away. You will notice, if you keep an eye on the settings (route above mentioned) that the button to toggle Bluetooth on and off will change for an "unclickable" message as long as the dongle is plugged in.
I bought one of those for my brother's HP laptop, and tried it since it claimed to have a 100-meter range.

Limited bluetooth range - less than 3 feet!

as posted here (archived now): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=264856
regarding limited bluetooth range on the 15" Al powerbook g4.
i have this same problem. has anyone else had it and determined the source? i still have time left on my 1yr applecare from when i bought this powerbook, but i have had bad luck with them. basically, i'd rather hold it under the kitchen faucet and look for a replacement than have apple bumble my hardware again.
i am a computer engineer. i'm hoping to find some prior knowledge before i open this up and start probing with my O-scope. i'll post what i find here regardless, but if you've had this problem as well, i'd appreciate the added knowledge of your experience.
thanks,

15" PowerBook G4 Al Mac OS X (10.4.6) never once been happy with Airport range, now bluetooth is bad too

A few of things…
1) Are you using wireless network connections as well. If so, oes you Bluetooth range increase if you turn it off?
2) Do you have any sources of interference…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58543
… that can be causing issues. Even though the Knowledge Base Documnet refers to Airport intereference the principles are the same. If yu do, again, turn them off to see if things are any different.
3) How many Bluetooth devices are you using? If you are using more than one does your range change when using ONLY one?

Sony Xperia Z3 very poor bluetooth range

Hi, I own a Sony SRS X5 personal speaker which connects trough bluetooth to my Xperia Z3. The problem is that it disconnects when I have the phone 3 feet away, or sometimes less.. Is there a problem with bluetooth range on the Xperia Z3?? I had an Xperia ZL which had great range and worked well with said speakers. Anyone else have this problem???

Do you experience bad bluetooth range with other accessories as well? It would be great if you could try some headset or something to see it the problem is related to the phone, the speaker or a combination of the two.

SBH-70 very low bluetooth range

Hi. I bought the new SBH-70 Bluetooth Headset. I like this item very much. But the bluetooth range is really bad. Already at 2 m or less distance from the phone, the connection gets really worse and the Headset starts to have noise interferences. Before I used the SBH 50 Headset and the bluetooth connection was much better and mor stable with this model. You think there is something wrong with my SBH-70? Or has it really such a poor Bluetooth range? Thanks for your help. Reimer

do you experience the same while on safe mode?

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.

Nokia 6350 bluetooth connection to PC may or may-n...

My issue is this:
MY HARDWARE / SOFTWARE:
- Nokia 6350 phone
- IOGEAR GBU321 usb bluetooth
- Windows XP on Dell Latitude D610
- PC Suite 7.1.51.0
PROBLEM:
PC Suite works fine with my phone if I'm in range. If I walk far away and bluetooth connection is lost, when I return to range, the synch btwn PC and Phone MAY or MAY NOT resume. Most of the time it does, but sometimes it does not. I've tried to close/re-start PC-Suite to no avail. I've tried to re-detect my phone via PC Suite...nothing.
The workaround fix I've found to resume the PC--Phone connection is this:
- On the bottom left of task bar, right click on the bluetooth icon and "Explore My Bluetooth Places"
- Delete "Nokia 6350 OBEX File Transfer"
- right click on the bluetooth icon and select "Quick Connect"-->"File Transfer"-->"Find Devices"-->"Show All Devices"-->select the Noka 6350 (for some reason it's visible here)-->and click "Finish".
Then suddenly, my PC-Suite Icon show connected again and I'm back in business.
WHAT is causing this and HOW to fix this permanently ? Something is timing out in PC-Suite.
Thanks,
Neel

Possibly contact your dealer, I work in the motor trade, and most manufacturers can update the sofware for their bluetooth systems for newer phones, it could be a compatibility problem, the handsfree set will have been built before the phone !

Nokia 920 Bluetooth and SMS Speech

I have a Nokia 920 and I recently changed from a Toyota RAV4 to a VW Golf 2013 MK7 TSI 90 Comfortline in Australia on Telstra.
Previously, when paired with my RAV4 whenever I got incoming SMS text it would announce text from the phone contact and offer the option to 'Read it', 'Reply' using voice commands.
I've paired it to my VW Golf but it no longer announces SMS text or give me voice command options. Is this a bluetooth compatibility issue; is there any option to upgrade or modify settings to enable this feature?
Richard

Hi, when i refer to voice commands I was specifically referring to scenario:
1. SMS text arrives
2. Announcement is made of new text - with option to 'Read it', 'Reply', 'Send'
-- I was referring to the above options as it relates to voice commands back.
3. Voice commands via holding the Windows Logo on phone - this works fine.

I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.
I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
Thank you!

If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

Nokia E5 bluetooth connection with car

When I connect my E5 with Toyota over bluetooth I can't prevent autoanswer - my phone automaticaly answers after 2 seconds. I tried other phones (Sony Ericsson and Nokia E52) and with them there were no problems.
I tried to disable autoanswer on my Nokia E5 but I couldn't.
Any ideas?

Just wondered whether under Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings > General > Enhancement > Wireless car kit = Default and presumably it is here you have set Automatic answer = Off ?

My nokia 2690 bluetooth is not switching on

when i am trying to on it it shows switching on bluetooth but it only loads when i want to cut it my phone get switched off
please help me

On a Windows computer, did you consider the Nokia Software Recovery Tool already? Anyway, sounds like a hardware issue. To double-check this assumption, did you consider to bring that phone to your dealer, who in turn sends it over to a local but genuine Nokia Care Centre? Looking at the second-hand market-price of your phone, this might be a total financial loss.
