Bluetooth 3.0 HS

[ziggazee]

I realised there wasn't much of a difference in speed when sending files through 3.0 HS as apposed to 3.0, I tested this by sending files to my brothers galaxy s2 and didn't notice any difference in speed. But then I hurd wifi needs to be activated aswel in order to use bluetooth with HS? Is this true? And if so do both devices need to be connected to the same wifi network? Thanks.

I have a Samsung notebook and the wifi and blutooth 3.0 are integrated into the same card on my model and share the same antenna.

I find that my blutooth transfer rate is a lot higher with the wifi disabled when i am using the bluetooth , I think it was 250kb/s or something.

I just came across this video on youtube which compares 3.0 with 3.0 HS on the galaxy s2, altho I dont understand it cus its in japanese lol but I can make out the one with bluetooth HS is the one with wifi turned on and its much faster than the one without wifi on. Just hope you don't have to be on the same network in order for it to work.

Prob uses wifi direct to some extent since SGS2 supports it

Well I just got hold of my brothers gs2 again and tried sending the same file but with wifi on this time, it worked. before it took around 20 seconds to send this music file (9mb) and now with wifi on it takes just under 5 seconds, and you don't have to be connected to any wifi network, the wifi just needs to be switched on which is a good thing if you want to send files to friends when your out.

Very helpful thank you, I'd been trying to get my head around this bt 3 stuff for about an hour now then found this.

It's not obvious you'd need wifi on form the tiny book samsung provided.

Hey no problem guys.. Having to turn the wifi on is a bit daft i know lol how on earth is a layman suppose to know that? Lol i met a friend on the bus the other day and he's also got the gs2, and he's very happy with it. He works in the Orange mobile retail shop so he thinks he knows the crack, As he was sending me a video he was boasting about the Bluetooth speed being so quick, telling me its got the newest Bluetooth technology in it lmao funny thing is he didn't even have wifi on and he works in a mobile phone shop. After he sent me the video which took about 5mins i turned on wifi on both phones and sent him the video back. It took around 40seconds, he was shocked lol he thought my phone sent files quicker because it was on a newer firmware lolol.
