Recommendations for Bluetooth

carogers86 · 01-21-2013, 03:11 PM

Yes, yes, I use the Bluetooth in the BMW. I spent 15 minutes reading reviews of the jawbone era bluetooth and found nothing but positive comments.

I've been using it for two months and get static when I'm more than 10 feet away from it. This gets worse as the battery drains. Even on a full charge callers complain that I'm cutting out - even when I have full cell reception.

I've tried fiddling with the noise cancellation in hopes of remedying the problem. I've taken the case off my iPhone 5 to see if that makes a different to no avail.

My old roommate had a Bluetooth that worked so well he could walk all around the house with it when his phone was in his room. Never had static or other issues.

Any recommendations or suggestions w/ current Bluetooth from this board are welcome!

Try returning your current Jawbone? Seems to be non-functional.

I'm passed the return period.

Go buy the exact same one. Switch it out for your broken one and return that one. Ta Da.
