Re: I must be doing something wrong - BT Quality
 
are you using an updated radio?

mine works great though, I have had the best luck with a plantronics 510 headset - it works on the other side of my house through walls even. I have a couple 3xx series plantronics headsets and get very minor cutting out when it is in my pocket and they won't work outside a room, but that has always kinda been the case with those even with other handsets..... It has been working very well since the original BT fix released by HTC in one of their early 2.xx rom updates (although it was still usable before then even and still never had a problem with range - just kinda so-so sound quality for the person I was talking to).

As for the poster above me with the complaints on birds chirping 30 feet away that is definitely a problem with the headset not the phone. Different headsets react differently to background noise, it is not the handset's job to filter background noise. In response to his question the radio rom certainly has an effect on the BT but there is also a BT stack built into the OS rom itself..... Range problems would probably be attributed to the radio (although I am not aware of any specific radio having BT range problems), while audio quality problems would probably be attributed to the BT stack built into the OS.

to the person who upgraded their z9, unfortunately the z9i does not have any updates available.

I am curious if there are any registry tweaks to fix this problem. Or at least boost the power of the radio.

Wish there was a phone comperable to the 6800 on sprint. everything else seems like a step down. Love the phone... hate the BT issues.

I sometimes have the same problem. Try pairing your headset with the phone from about 10' away or where it will be most of the time (i.e., set phone to pairing mode and quickly put in pocket and remove a minute later and complete the pairing process). This greatly improved my connections.

Ditto. too bad the 510 was poorly designed.. (mine broke, mic spun around the same direction too many times, and the wires broke.)

this seams like a good place/time to ask if anyone knows what the "microphone AGC" does? (agc=automatic gain control) I remember mscv saying it needs to be turned off, but I stopped using that app some time ago. I have not noticed any difference with it on or off, but does anybody KNOW?

good idea, unfortunately this doesn't seem to help, for me atleast.

I can re-create bt cutting out with my s9 by cupping the bottom part of the phone in my hands and placing between my legs (legs closed), but "if" i can pair doing this, the problem is the same. (i said "if" because sometimes it won't even see the headset, so no device is found.)

I think the 510 had more power (to boost the incomming signal) also when I ripped mine apart after the mic broke, I noticed that the antenna in it went from the bottom (by the power jack) to the top (where the flexing area is)

maybe someone can come up with a good mod to give the mogul a better bluetooth antenna.

I've tried a bunch of headsets. With the Plantronics 510 I have great performance. With everything else it's OK to bad.

My Moto 820 is excellent, with occassional connection issues, but that's nothing new with the Titan. I've also tried the H12, and sound was amazing.

After switching to the new rom I've had no complaints. I've been driving with the windows open and my gf thought I was sitting in my office. I guess loading the new stock rom fixed my problem.
