i have an xda 2s with 1.13 radio and latest btooth stack and 1.31xxx rom

hi - its my first post over here but like many others been visiting for a while

my question is...

What range do you get with your BT Headset and if you have it in your left pocket and the headset on your right ear - does it work ok

i have a jabra bt250v and it is crap (yehhh yehhh read the threads here after i bought it :x and crackle continuosly)

which headset works best and at what range / distance (ps the jabra doesnt get more than 2 feet! - is this an xda 2s issue)

thanks in advance

I'm sorry to inform u bro that ur bluetooth headset is well functioning,and there's no problem with it....It's the BA bluetooth hardware that sucks!!!!!
This issue(BA bluetooth hardware) was discussed in many forums(not only xda-developers),with no avail unfortunately...(HTC is busy developing new devices,and not giving a $h*t to older ones like BA) :(
so bro,look no further for a bluetooth headset....it's not the cause.....

darn

my wifes k700i phone works upto 30 feet away through 2 brick walls too

i was going to buy another headset but may sell this for a treo 650

really need a reliable hands free pda/phone

i thought the bluetooth transmitter was poor - seems i was right

My Motorola 820 works 2-3 metres away, but no more than that. Its good enough for use in my car, so I'm not to worried

Yes, me too, BT250 phone one side. headset the other and it is crap.

It was soooo disapointing as my 2 previous Jabras were super, my BT100 working 40 feet from the phone I had at the time.

WEASEL

do you get static with the headset if it isnt in line of view

i can literally hold my hand upto my ear while being 2 feet away and it loses the sugnal

how does the 820 compare

Firstly, a correction; I have a HBH-300, not a HBH-820 (that's what my wife has) - my mistake

With the HBH-300, I get little or no static, but can have problems if the headset is not near line of sight e.g. if my phone is in my trouser pocket, I sometimes get disconnected. Whenin my car, I don't have a problem irrespective of which ear I use the headset in
