[Q] Bluetooth 3.0

---

Does anyone know if it will be possible to upgrade the firmware for the bt radio so it can run bt3.0? Is there a way to know what chip it uses (if its the same as galaxy we would be in luck).

Honestly I prefer 2.1. Too many complaints about 3.0's lack of support for bluetooth devices like Wiimote

I don't have a Galaxy S but it should use a TI wilink chipset, that supports bt3.0.
_Maybe_ they used in the Nexus S a bcm432* family chipset that is bt3.0 certified although it supports bt2.1 only.
This is just a speculation, i think you have to wait until the phone is out

Edit: i think i'm wrong about the wilink; i'm just reporting what i read somewhere...

Your a wise man Anderdroid

Thanks for taking the time to post this... I tried a vibrant and hated the fact that I couldn't use the wiimote to play my emulators

Not trying to be rude, but I thought the same thing, but I checked that site for hours before I decided "yes" on buying this thing

I know what the quotes say, I was asking about the chipset it uses to know if it will be possible to upgrade it.

It was just like the G2 I was bitchin about 800mhz and the hinge and such but it turned out to be great so I for sure will give this phone a chance!!

I asked our BT lead, and his understanding is that the BCM4329 is not supported for BT3.0 from Broadcom, so it is unlikely we'll be able to upgrade to 3.0 on Nexus S.

So the NS uses the same BCM4329 as other phones?

The G2 was super sluggish on the home screen (completely stock). This thing is lightyears ahead of G2.

Yes, I'm the guy you fight before the Gym Leader at Pewter City in red blue and yellow.
