My Blue tooth sucks

Vaughanabe13 · 03-15-2012, 06:15 PM

When I first got the Z I had a Samsung Galaxy S phone... it didn't work well at all with the bluetooth receiver. The people I talked to said it sounded awful and there was a bad echo effect, and I tried everything to reduce it.

Now I have a Galaxy Nexus and zero problems. I'm convinced the phone has a lot (if not all) to do with it. For better or worse.

I know people have had issues hearing me when I'm on BT and driving on rough roads. The road noise seems to completely over power my voice. I'm hoping switching to some quieter tires after the stock Bridgestones wear out will help. I will also probably add some sound deadener at some point as well.

I have only had a couple calls in mine since I got the car, but I my phone is a Dinc 2 as well and I had no issues and the other parties didn't complain about not be able to hear me clearly. Like others have said may be worth getting it checked out as it could be a bad mic.

Try placing your phone in the trunk as far away from head unit as possible,the BT in my truck hates my phone close to the reciever, if I toss my phone in the back seat it clears right up,seems 3 feet away makes a difference.

I dont have issues with my BT in the Z,seems to be a proximity thing in my truck.

by any chance does this seem to happen to you on the highway? I have had one or two people mention it to me when cruising at around 80 due to all the road noise.
