Blueant V1 extreme static

[hal1]

When I dial out, I get an EXTREME amount of static/hissing sound. It eventually goes away after turning it off and on again.

Anyone else experience this?

i havent experienced this myself, but this might help you

from the verizon tech thread Verizon Tech here - ask away!


"Common Tech Solutions and Tips

- Improve Call Audio Quality (Doesn't seem to work if you have anything to do with Alltel!)
Dial ##7764726 (##PROGRAM) and act as if you were going to call that number.
Enter 000000 for the SPC Password and then tap Verify
Tap on "04 Vocode"
Tap on EVRC-B than Apply
Tap the Home Screen button and the phone should automatically reset a few seconds afterward. If not, power cycle the phone
Explanation - This changes how the phone compresses and decompressed the call audio which improves the quality."

I have also experienced this issue with the V1. I contacted Blueant support in November and they are aware of the problem. Aparrently there is an issue that they are trying to address with a firmware update. My last contact with Blueant about 2 weeks ago indicated that their technical people are still working on a fix. Upper management at Blueant is also aware of the problem and wants this problem fixed. Hopefully they can come thru soon. I am looking hard at switching to the new Ailph Icon headset if Blueant can't come thru soon.

If you go BlueAnt Wireless - Bluetooth Handsfree, Car kits and Mobile Communication Devices and register your product, there will be a option to "notify me when an update is available" if you check that block, they will email you when they have a firmware update.

Any resolution?

My first post... Horrible static with my v1 and droid under 2.0.1; did the 2.1 download, and --- no static! Don't know if the bluetooth stack was tweaked or what, but my v1 is nice and clear, v1 voice dialing works, etc. v1 is at firmware 5.3.

May change tomorrow, but it worked tonight.

reloaded firmware and tried with v2.1, got static...deleted the bluant from the bluetooth devices, restarted the phone, reset the bluant and it seems to be working. Will report back if I have any issues.

Thanks drbnc!
