Bluetooth...

[Guest RiceBurner]

ok - I've got an I-tech Clip, and a Jabra BT800 headsets.

I've got an SPV M2000 with the latest (Build 3500 from Broadcom) Bluetooth software on it.

if I make a call with the phone less than 3 feet from the headset (either of them) ANYTHING that comes through the headset is totally unintelligible. :cry: :x :x :x :x :x :x

I can't have a sensible conversation at all because I'm always having to ask people to repeat themselves.

Is ALL bluetooth communication blighted by cross-talk or interference or simply crap reception to the headset????

Am I expecting too much?? Obviously I"m not expecting face to face clarity - but I would at LEAST like to have the same sounds coming through as I get from the speaker on the phone!!!

I would like to be able to have a conversation with someone on the phone and at the same time use the phone as a PDA. I "can" do this with the wired headset - but the cables are bloody annoying and always getting tangled up (especially because I like to take them off and put them in a pocket when not actually on a call)

Can anyone PLEASE help me before I throw the sodding things through the window???

EDIT : no swearing please, yo mama might be reading ;)

You got WiFi turned on? WiFi is supposed to mess with bluetooth, as are some cordless phones. Could be that I suppose...

nope.

Although we do have a cordless in the office..... hmmm.

Actually - in the last couple of days it's seemed a bit better, especially when not in London.
