[gui-talk] Bluetooth head set for the iPhone

[Doug Lee]

Others probably have better answers, but do you know if there is a lot
of RF in your area - cordless phones, wireless Internet access points,
CB or ham broadcasters, a nearby radio or tv tower, etc.?  I don't
know which of those would interfere with Bluetooth, though I do know
that cordless phones wreak havock with WiFi data and WiFi headset
connections.

Hello listers,

I have just purchased a Motorola S-305 a2dp bluetooth head set for use with the iPhone. This device allows for the listening of music, the full use of the Voiceover features, and the making and receiving of phone calls.

The problems begin when I either put the phone in my pocket, or walk away from the phone just so, and the signal begins to fade. 

Bluetooth should withstand about 30 feet in distance for loss of signal to be significant, but I am no more than 10 feet from the phone, and music begins to chop up. I assume the same would be true for phone calls?

It sounds like the problem may be on the phone itself, since the sounds pause and restart from the sound source, aka the phone, and do not get interrupted and picked up at a later time in the music by the head set.

Any suggestions and solutions would be appreciated. I am wondering if I didn't get an inferior head set.

Sincerely,

Antonio Guimaraes
