Well yes I have Bluetooth issues also. To the point I have given up
on it. It will not pair. While trying to pair it gives a sequence
of beeps. During the beeps it asks me to enter the access code. I
have tried entering the code just after it asks and after all the
beeps stop. Eventually I canusually get it to take the code. Then I
have to try and pair it 2 or three more times. I sumetimes could
eventually get it to pair. But it just is not worth the
aggrevation. Oh, yes it does not appear like BS is doing anyghint on
this. Are they??????At 10:23 PM 12/14/2009, Chip Orange wrote:
Hello Raul,
I have to ask then, if you aren't having any bluetooth problems, and you
can't explain why I am, then how can I expect my bluetooth issues to be
resolved?
would it help if I found others who are also having many bluetooth issues?
because your response made it sound like you/Hims aren't working on any
bluetooth problems except perhaps adding mono, which won't help those of us
who are unable to listen to music and/or having lockups when pairing.
is there anyone else at GW doing bluetooth testing?
I have to say I was certainly under the impression, until now, that the
bluetooth issues I had reported months ago were being worked on.
music aside for a moment, most of the time my unit locks up when I try to
pair it with the Sony headset; are you not seeing this either?
thanks.
Chip

Hello chip. Then we have to respectfully agree to disagree. It just comes
down to many differing factors which are obviously affecting some situations
more than others. I'm glad that Bluetooth stereo from your headphones to
your PC has worked great.
have a good day.
