Bluetooth slows down TP2

I hope 6.5 comes out soon and fixes my issue. Looks like the only way to fix it sooner is to flash my rom, which I wanted to stay away from. I can play music fine and it will work if I call from my BT unit which is a pain in the @$$. when I try calling from my phone I only hear static. thanks for the tip on Widcomm, some good reading.

i have to agree with you, the only way to fix it will be to run a custom rom. Most custom roms have the updated bluetooth which fixes most problems like not being able to disconnect the caller from the headset or the lag issue you are talking about. i'm running a rom i created from calkulins kitchen and all the bluetooth issues people were having have been fixed.

Although I'm using an Imagio, I'm posting this here. Hope it helps . . .

Warning: this could be the dumbest thing you've read about the WIDCOMM stack in a long timme . . . but it solved my problem.

I figured out that my pim.vol file was what was causing my BT to slow my phone to a crawl when I established a connection with my Chevy Equinox.If you find yourself addressing a similar issue, I suggest you add your pim.vol to your list of things to troubleshoot.

Long story short, after having perfectly functioning BT since the time I received my Imagio, sometime over the past few weeks it went south - establishing an in-car BT just killed the phone's response. I couldn't make a call let alone open a gps or any other app. I naturally thought it was something I installed so after hours of uninstalling and re-installing, a bucket full of hard resets, etc, I figured out that my pim.vol was the root of all evil - the version I was restoring was somehow interfering the my BT connection.

I know, I know . . . but here's the thing: the way I narrowed it down was by doing an in-car hard reset and restoration (I'm officially coining that phrase ). I sat in the car in the driveway and re-installed my apps in groups of 2 and 3, pairing and breaking the pair to the vehicle in between. After successfully coming through all of my apps this way the device continued to work perfectly. I thought I somehow licked it with only restoring my pim.vol left - normally, that would be one of the first things I'd restore - and sure enough after I did that the lag returned. I reverted to an older, back-up copy of my pim, re-paired and the lag disappeared. Flip-flopped between current and old pim a few times for confirmation, and it didn't take long to convince me it was the source of the problem.

I cant begin to imagine why. The "corrupted" pim functioned perfectly well in every other respect (even with other BT earbuds) - just sapped my phone when connected to my in-car BT. Just for reference, my pim is about 2.8 mb - don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Let me know if you get desperate enough to try a similar approach and if it works for you.

Has anyone found a fix for this?
