http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1960856

i am encountering bluetooth headset loss, (jawbone) whenever i get a call it works for a minute or 2 then disconnects for 10 seconds (diverts from headset to speaker) and then it connects back to t he jawbone fine.

Lots of itmes i get occasional loss in connectivity between the watch and the phone and notice that i have to click on a button from the watch bottons to reconnect it again.

My question to you is, what sthe bext version of BT watch or smart watch to use and wit what rom for the watch to be effective, all i care about is knowhing when i get emails tect messages and a phonecall with a caller ID . dont care for anything else. please help me as to what rom you chose that is stable and works with the BT watch mbw-100 thank you for your feedback in advance, (some roms drain the battery of te watch within 7 hours like the ap3) ap4 was ok and ap5 is ok, it lasts 2 days)

what sofrtare you use, what version and with what rom, do you get occasional loss in bluetooth connectivity? what should i do? anyway to improve bt ?
Thanks a lot:cool:

radio version 1.57 and spl3.5

I use your same version of software on COM1 and I ended up reverting to WM5 which on the MBW150 side is very good (wise choice not to get the spl3.5 one way ticket).

-No random disconnections during standard use
-Still random disconnections of the watch while on headphones, but I disable MBW long pressing the lower right button and reactivate it after the call)
-Disconnections from the watch when I use voice command (same long pressing trick as I'm expected to make a call)
-MBW's Battery still full after three days of continuous use
-Bt stereo streaming perfect, apart from initial short lack of sound during MBW data communication (I disabled join stereo with schap's Advanced Configuration Tool).

Going back to Athena's roots in my case did the job. In fact WM5 fits my needs (everything I need works fast and as expected) and I can rely on a secure and discreet connection with it through the watch. I'm only missing gps on the camera's thrills which seems to be a wm6 only option.

I'm curious about the AP5, but will wait for the Vanilla version to check it.

See my signature for the other testing I made...

Thank you for the reply Karmarock,
i have heard that wm5 gives the best battery life but i am already using spl 3.5 and i dont like wm5, i like the instant search feature of wm5 in emails text messages and many other things that wm6 has . as for the software i guess none is stable that dont cause the watch to disconnect..
