Problem with Sony DR-BT20NX

[Dmon]

Hi,

Today I finally got my Sony DR-BT20NX stereo bluetooth headset, but the joy wouldn't last for long. I have paired it and played music with awesome sound quality. However, as soon as I put the phone in my pocket or even just behind my back the sound drops and doesn't resume until I bring the phone back up front. It's just ridiculous. I also have a pair of Plantronics 590A and with them I can easily go into another room without the music dropping. Is their something wrong with it or is there a problem with this headset and the Tytn?

I have the a swedish Tytn with the 1.18 rom.

Edit: Btw, sleuths fix did nothing to help this problem.

I think it is the same on the SONY HBH-DS970, the BT part needs a pretty clear line of "sight" to the Tytn to play without interuptions. It will defenetly not work with receiver in fron of me and phone behind my back.

I t will work with the phone in my front trouser pocket, but can get interupted if the arm is in the way to long.

Interesting to hear that the range seem to be so much better with the Plantronics 590.

What experience does others have with their BT stereo hedsets?

It did not even work with the phone in my front pocket which pretty much renders it useless. Fortunately webhallen.com agreed for me to return it.

My Plantronics headset works superbly and I can actually go into another room still with crisp sound and no interruptions. Since those have worked so well for me I'm considering giving the Plantronics Pulsar 260 a try, although I like the looks of the Sony headset better. Seems to be more cable on the Pulsar 260. You can clip it to your belt and the cables reaches your ears, which I think defeats their purpose.

Can you please tell us which ROM/Radio/Ext_rom etc... you are using??

All but the most current WM6 ROMs have problems playing A2DP you see.

I am using the standard rom, mostly because people have reported better a2dp sound than with the updates. I need the swedish keyboard so I don't have that many choices. However, since my Plantronic 590A have worked so well and with good sound and distance I do not think that the rom is to blame. Also I have not had any sound dropping every 40-50 seconds which many users are reporting. Probably because I have a task manager or setup that works like Sleuths a2dp fix. Also, I tried the Sonys with my Qtek 9100 with the same results.

My setup:
Rom: 1.18.263.2
Radio: 1.07.01.10
ExtRom: 1.18.263.104

OMG....upgrade...upgrade NOW

Having been on this forum for nearly a year and had a TyTN I can almost guarantee that the ROM is the culprit sir. Like I said before ALL but the latest WM6 ROMs have issues with A2DP...im running Black Shadow and A2DP is almost perfect, streaming to several different devices works no problem.

I don't think it has changed the range? Sounds good but still needs a clear line of sight between my Tytn and HBH-DS970.

Using Shadow now and LVSW latest before.

Thats not the kind of performance I (and alot of others) get. Do you have anything else you could test this with?? Like a friends A2DP headset??

My TyTN was in my bag in the boot of the car and was streaming nicely to the car stereo, changing track via the AVRCP function.

Jompao: How is the a2dp quality with Black shadow and do you get the swedish characters on the keyboard with that rom?

I haven't upgraded simply because I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my rom. All the applications I use work like a charm and the a2dp quality was above all my expectations. Than again, I used to use a Qtek 9100 (still own it) and the a2dp quality sucked.
