WIFI and Bluetooth Issues

[anon(22163)]

Has anyone noticed issues with WIFI and bluetooth usage at the same time? For example if I have an ACTIVE call on Bluetooth the wireless doesn't work or is rediculously slow. (2-3 min to load a webpage)

Whats up with that?

It's because Wifi and Bluetooth use the same 2.4ghz frequency band. Regardless to what some people claim, there will be interference when packets are flying on the same band at the same time from 2 types of devices (Wifi and Bluetooth)

Some people say older phones did this fine, but I think they really didn't pay too much attention at the time.

No offense dude, but that's complete garbage. My last SEVERAL smartphones worked fine doing the exact same thing. Including an iPhone 3gs and the Droid Inc.

Somethings definitely a little wacky with the wireless on this.

I'd go back and try it with an older phone, say hook up a bluetooth headset to listen to music and use Wifi to browse the web at the same time. Run speedtests on the Wifi and see if theres interference.

I know my laptop suffered from this and it was a Dell XPS about 4 years old.

Also if this is an issue, Froyo certainly doesn't fix it (another Droid X Froyo fail to add to the list)
