Bluetooth slows down TP2

jsgross · #1 (**permalink**) 10-28-2009, 09:28 PM

I haven't seen this issue discussed. I have an Alpine BlueTooth unit in my car. Whenever I am connected to it, my TP2 is very unrepsonsive. Most of the time it is in the dialer. It takes forever to release a call and when it finally does, dialing a number is almost impossible. As soon as I turn off BT, it works just fine.

Any thoughts?

Have you tested this issue with other BT equipment? Or tested your Head unit with another phone?

I have similar issues with my car's BT system. I am hoping that this gets better once we are able to upgrade to custom ROMS.

Yes, the phone does become almost unusable once connected via BT.

No I haven't. I only have a car unit. However, my TP did not have that problem. However, I was running Win 6.5 with a custom rom (MerdinH).

Maybe, I'll borrow someone's BT headset and see what happens.

Same issue here with Pioneer BT headunit. The long delay on hangup is annoying as it leaves a lengthy silence after the other party hangs up before my music can resume.

I don't have the issues described with a Clarion head unit - wonder where the difference lies.

My TP2 drastically slows down while my Kenwood unit is downloading the call history and contacts. Once those are done the phone is back to being responsive. Unfortunatly, it takes about 2mins to finish downloading those.

i have a pioneer car unit and to me my tp2 is almost unusable with bluetooth. i previously had a palm 800w that worked perfectly with my pioneer unit, but the bluetooth on the tp2 is trash(its been well documented on this site that the drivers used by htc for the phone are garbage, so its a software issue on the phone which is fixable).

i dont have too much trouble placing a call, except that i have to disconnect the call using my phone, rather than the pioneer controls, which is really annoying. Recieving calls is where things get interesting, as calls never come in correctly, the phone will ring, ill hit the answer key, music keeps playing and the call ends up god knows where

Use my Plantronics unit while working out (stereo - sounds great) but it does slow it down also. Very noticeable.

To anyone who has/had this problem and flashed to a 6.5 ROM, does it work any better?
