I am using a Sprint Mogul with DCD 2.3.2 firmware. I can't remember what version radio, but it's the one that was released for the GPS. Everything works fairly well, except for my bluetooth. I have a motorola bluetooth hands free car kit, and when I turn on the bluetooth on my phone, it connects just fine. But if someone calls me, I have to answer it via the bluetooth. If I answer it via the phone it picks up on the phone. When I answer it with the bluetooth, it picks up sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't. the bluetooth is very tempermental. Sometimes it connects without a problem, other times I will be on the phone for a few seconds then it connects. Anyone have any issues with this? Possibly a solution?
Hard to believe that with this many users in this forum, that no one has an answer to this one. I'll keep looking for one myself.

This is a strange one to describe and I cannot figure out the pattern. I use a BT set all day and at the end of the night I turn it off as well as the phone BT. However I cannot hear sound (voices) from the phone or the speaker phone. This is both ways when I call out or I call myself from home to the 6800. Now I can do a reset and it all works. I also can turn the BT on after the reset then it all works. I only notice this when I am on BT all day and at the end of the day turning it all off.
Not making a big deal out of it just curious if anyone else have had this issue. I have been on different roms 3.12, 3.22 not stating at all it is an issue there....just asking to see if there is a fix.
Thx
I had this issue with the 3.27 (DCD 3.0.1) radio and my plantronics 855. I got used to resetting (something all Mogul owners are used to doing!) the phone when I disconnected BT. Since changing to the 3.42.30 (DCD 3.2.2) radio I haven't had the problem. Keep in mind that It's only been a week! I think the radio has more to do with this than the ROM.
There have been a plethora of posts on the web about issues with the Eris and its
problems with Wifi connections....or lack of.
I have just discovered one of the main issues why it does not work. Or why it does not when BLUETOOTH is enabled! That's right, the Eris cannot do Bluetooth and Wifi at the same time! WTF?!
I was able to connect to my wireless router w/o any problems, then one day, I couldn't. I spent many days trying to figure this out. Then, it hit me when I was looking at the Wireless and Networks settings and I saw Bluetooth...I said, "Hmmm"
So I turned off Bluetooth and all of a sudden, I was connected to my Wifi router! I repeated this step 5x!
I hope this is the answer for most Eris users
HTC, is there going to be a fix for this? Can we get a warranty return for this? A cheap upgrade the the Incredible???
cheers
mine has always worked fine with bluetooth enabled.

Get a warranty replacement.
BT and Wifi work fine for me.
I am trying to share my Galaxy Nexus' internet connection via bluetooth with my tf201.
I can get them paired, and connected, and the internet works (although a little slow)but after about 30 seconds the internet stops working. If I make the tf201 reconnect to the GNex it immediately works again for another 30 seconds.
How can stop the connection from turning off?
I don't know how to fix that specific problem; my bluetooth tethering has worked quite reliably for me.
You may want to take a look at the FoxFi app for your phone. It offers both wifi and bluetooth tethering without rooting. That may help you get a better connection.
not helpful, i know, but my Atrix will not do internet via bluetooth to my prime, and My Atrix 2 does amazingly well. idunno.
Again, not helpful, but I've no problem tethering my Prime to my Galaxy Note via Bluetooth. My Note is running a leaked ICS build too, so I was quite surprised that it works so flawlessly.
Regards,
Dave

Looking around here, i see that plenty of people have more then one phone.
But i don't see any way to make them work together.
How possible would it be to make them connect with wifi / bluetooth?
Have them both ring when a phone-call comes in and make it not matter which you pick up?
Stay connected to the internet on both phones when one loses signal? (living on the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, when one has internet, the other one probably doesn't)
Share audio with 1 Bluetooth headset?
Do you know a way to make any of these happen?

You could pair the two devices together using Bluetooth but that would be for transferring files and other stuff I suppose. I don't think it's possible to have them both ring when a phone-call comes in and have it not matter which phone you answer. To get internet on both phones most people tether phone A's internet connection and create a wireless hotspot and then connect phone B to the hotspot. But if one looses signal then other one would loose internet signal as well, if there is no signal in an area there is no signal, and both devices will be without service. And what do you mean by share audio with 1 Bluetooth headset? You could pair both devices with the same Bluetooth headset if that's what your talking about (For example phone A is paired with Bluetooth headset A and phone B is paired with Bluetooth headset A also).

The problem is that i live on the border between 2 country's, so if i'm in Belgium, i have to set my Belgian phone to tether wifi, my dutch phone to connect to it, and a few hours later il be in the Netherlands and i need to tether my Belgian phone to my dutch one. If i forget to disconnect it, and i leave the country, both phones will not have internet. Then i am home, and i have to select my home wifi. I cross the border 2 or 4 times a day. Doing it manually is a pain.
Both my phones are paired to my headset, but that old thing only connects with one phone at the time.could fix it by buying a new one. But i like the sound of the one i have now.
But correct my if i'm wrong, but the hardware should be capable of much better cooperation between phones. I just can't find software to do stuff. is there any?

I'm not sure about the data issue but you could use Google voice and set that up to ring both phones...

That wouldn't work. I would have to give all my friends and contacts a US phone number.They wouldn't ever call me.
But i did figure out a way to properly share internet. Tasker!
While (not roaming) and (not at home(check with gps? Bluetooth of computer in range? certain cell tower? other?)) and (other phone nearby (check with Bluetooth)) tether internet.
Else, connect to wifi.
I guess i have some scripting to do and i should buy a new headset. That way i can answer both phones with the same Bluetooth headset, and share internet.
What is more battery efficient? Bluetooth or WiFi tethering?
Here is why I bought my watch (primarily):
I'd like to be able to leave my Note 4 on my desk while I am working elsewhere in the building.....and I often find myself out of bluetooth range. I have searched around a lot and I cannot see if the wifi connection works the same as a Bluetooth connection, only with greater range. I do not currently have a sim card in the watch, and even if I decide to get one later, I dont really want it used if im only a few feet away from the edge of bluetooth range lol. I have read a lot about turning wifi off because it can interfere with remote (3g) connection but that isn't my issue (no sim card to interfere with). I just want to see if the wifi connection will work the same as bluetooth, only with greater range (same building, same network, just further away from my desk). Thanks.
Otherwise, LOVING the phone! Cant wait to try it out when Im back to work in January!

Yes your calls(Call forwarding and messages should work) your app updates will have to wait until your connected to bluetooth again
Thanks again!
Works for me too. I can be across town at the gym and it finds my phone at home as long as the watch is connected to wifi. Or data.
