bluetooth speaker compatibility - any issues?

[Guest Smiff2]

quick question, any compatibility issues with Bluetooth speakers that anyone has found/tried?

i'm looking at

JBL On Tour XTB <- hard to find now?

Creative D100 <- cheap but a bit tacky

SuperTooth Disco <- looks good, Amazon bestseller

i presume the Blade is A2DP etc. standard so it should work well with any of them?!

controls and compat all good?

what audio apps do people use?

range ok?

thanks!

oh one more thing, is it remote (ARCP?) compatible i.e. do speakers with controls on them work to control playback on the Blade? presumably this is more an app issue than a hardware issue..

hmmm no one uses bluetooth speakers for their Blade? seems like the perfect music solution!

any interference with wifi on Blade?

Chances are if it is compatible with any android phone it will work on the blade :D

picked up a Creative D100 (£35 at PCW UK)

problems! on a white phone running SS RLS3, it worked at first but after cranking the volume up, died. cannot get it to reconnect, bluetooth seems to hang on the phone. even restarting the phone doesn't help..

tried the speaker with my phone running JJ9 - works perfectly!

my next thought is to upgrade the SS3 phone to SS4b (no wipe). i believe this will remove overclocking and that may be relevant? (although my phone is also overclocked and that's fine..)

not sure, any ideas welcome please, this is a present and it's a bit awkward :/

A wipe maybe necessary to fix the problem. But if the issue is the SS rom then even if you wiped it wouldn't help.

Cyanogen Mod is almost perfect now and has the most reliable bluetooth connection I have used. Maybe worth updating both :D

Note that wifi and bluetooth don't work well together on any rom (Hardware design flaw)

s**t - do you have any more info on wifi+bt issue please? because i noticed wifi stopped working on the SS phone at the same time!

presumably if she puts music on the sd card that should work ok?

only just moved her to 2.2 - not keen on changing to CM7 until its near perfect!
