Yes there are times that a bluetooth is not dependable. I also experienced that when connecting cp to computer and even cp to cp. They say sometimes devices are not compatible. Don't worry, you're not alone with that problem.

Bluetooth can be dependable if you have quality devices. I have had a lot of success using bluetooth.
lucky_witch, What is a cp?

Yes bluetooth is sometimes not dependable.It works fine if both devices are really compatible to each other.

Yeah, and not all device are compatible with bluetooth. Some work and some not, and sometimes you won't understand the reason.

yes, i also find it unreliable sometimes. i have no problems with connecting my devices but there are times when connecting with another devices is slow.
@NickMack: I think lucky_witch meant 'cellphone' by cp.

hi there.. i had also experienced that, the glitches of the connection maybe due to the internet connections..maybe the off and on especially if you are using wireless thing kind of..its just my assumption only..

Depends if you have quality devices or, if you're doing the right way to be connected. Trust me, the latter is usually the main problem.

not really using blue tooth that much...that i cant comment on it..although i heard from friends about the problem..but on me nope..

That's natural when you're using blue tooth. Can't say really whenever or wherever will there be weak signals for it. You could use aux input if you want to though.
Posted 2 years ago # -
it usually happen when the internet connections is not good or very slow..

As for me, I always have my aux. Its normal for a blue tooth to lost connection sometimes unlike aux.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Oh well. There are really places where signals are weak. Can't really say whenever your bluetooth suddenly won't work.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I also have the same problem. Judging by some of what I've read here it seems it is normal to happen for a bluetooth device. Still, its cooler than an aux.

Wow! Well hello! I do actually. Having second thoughts now though. Maybe you will too if you read their review for wireless transmitters here. Its a very good information.

Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum, which chops up the data being sent and transmits chunks of it on up to 79 frequencies. In its basic mode, the modulation is Gaussian frequency-shift keying (GFSK). It can achieve a gross data rate of 1 Mb/s. Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, telephones, laptops, personal computers, printers, Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, digital cameras, and video game consoles through a secure, globally unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) 2.4 GHz short-range radio frequency bandwidth. The Bluetooth specifications are developed and licensed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). The Bluetooth SIG consists of companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing, networking, and consumer electronics.
