BT - WIFI interfirence
Try this on your Excalibur:
Establish connection with BT headset
Dial voice number
Activate WIFI at the same time
Did you hear any crackling and noise in your BT headset?
i'll try this a bit later when i get the chance, but isn't it common to have some interference if data is transmitting for both since they're both operating on 2.4ghz? also, what headset are you using? bt 1.2 should be better than 1.1

Well, I don't have this problem with TyTn.
I've tried Nokia BH 900 and Jabra JX10 - both 2.0
I'm glad i saw this thread. I'm having the same issue. I cannot stream music to my motorola ht820 bluetooth stereo headset if i use wifi. It just keeps stopping and freaks out on me. I was having issues streaming videos to my dash via wifi and using the headset also. I could not stream 100kbps videos over wifi! I thought the phone just wasn't powerful enough. (although it's not.. I could stream 300kbps videos on my old hp 3615 via wifi fine.)
I just was able to stream a video at 300kbps fine without bluetooth turned on using wifi and it worked fine. Grr!!
BT and wifi both use the same frequency.
I think you shoud try an other channel for the wifi. It may solve your problem.
Wifi how do you set IPs/DNS info?
did i over look something i can't figure out how to set IP, DNS and Subnet for my phone. I've gone to every connection screen did i over look something?
Internet via WiFi - Wireless Access Points Only
I am not subscribing to the data service on my cellular net. I only want to be able to access the net and email when I am in range of my WAP at home/work or at my favorite hot spots. I've got the WiFi settings so that I am connecting to my WAP and can see the SSID when it connects.. I've tried adjusting the settings in the IE options and am at the point where once in a while (1 out of 8 or so ) I can open access one page of a web site.. but can not navigate any further. If I type a different URL in it says locating and loading then times out.... what did I miss???
T-Mobile Dash / Re-ROM-ed to Excaliber.
All other functions seem to be OK.
Thanks, XmP
I've seen this as well. Playing around earlier today, I installed Opera Mini. Opera works fine over wifi or edge. I believe that the issue involves one or more IE bugs involving either the size (fragmentation?) of cache and/or scripts.
Also, Opera Mini isn't a solution (yet) either. It works great once installed and launched from the installer - but has to be uninstaller and reinstalled to work after you exit.
I can't wait for a linux port
I run into this problem all the time at my college and at my home. I turn on my wifi and the phone defaults to the network instead of wifi. I am on cingular with the 8125, I was using I/S PL 1.08 i just updated to cingular rom 2.24.10.1 WWE. I have tried IE, Opera, Mozilla (Minimo) and another i forget the name of. In all I preferred Opera but I feel Mozilla will be the best once the bugs are gone.
Oh yah and when I try and connect to the wifi network at my school they require a redirect to login through bluesocket. That is just too difficult for my little wizard and I rarely get through that system.
External antenna jack on Excaliber/Dash... is it just for GSM? or also WiFi?
Anyone had experience with the external antenna jack on the back of the Dash (under the mirror button)? Just wondering if using this connector would improve performance on WiFi? or is it designed only for GSM reception?
I found a cable which fits the connector perfectly. Thanks for your responses.
Issue solved!
I rebooted my wireless router and everything works great...
Bump!
I'm guessing the absence of answers means that the settings cannot be changed (or may need a reg hack to do so) - I can't find them anywhere either...
so it works for an external wifi as well?
yes, it is possible to change these settings (or at least the IP adress). I have read about it, but can't remeber where. It's possible to chnge it somewhere in the registry, can't be changed directly through settings. If I find it, where I read about it, I will post it here ...
As I remember the external is designed for car holder external antenna, not for WiFi. You may find at most of the GSM mobile back also have this.
This was posted over at howardforums too. What, you didn't search the internet endlessly to find an answer?
Above poster is correct, it's for GSM only. Like I said over at HoFo, unless you're lost in the backwoods, I don't think it's going to help much. Plus, it looks a tad silly!
Thanks for all your responses. Yeah, I posted the question in a couple of forums (the level of expertise varies widely, as you know!).
Reason I asked... we want to be able to access realtime weather conditions while at a remote nature facility on a barrier island here on the West Coast of Florida -- you know, like hurricanes There is a weak WiFi signal from an access point about 1/4 mile away. I simply wanted to establish a stronger link by using an external antenna.
So although it might have looked silly, it was to be a quick fix for instant weather updates (like radar), when needed.
Wifi connection sloooow. For you also?
Hi, with my stock htc s620, establishing a connection to a wifi network that is already saved (home & work), takes around 1 to 2 mins.
What often happens also is that it goes to sleep before even connecting (with me waiting in IE or mail to clic on a favorite or do a send & receive action).
I can't understand this since a nokia n80 will take seconds and it's almost instantaneous on my macbook.
Are there any tricks or software that can accelerate this (unless I'm the only one to have this problem)?
Seems to be a problem of your hardware or a configuration problem. I have energy save mode enabled and usually it takes two or three seconds to connect, sometimes up to ten seconds, if it has extremly low WiFi-Signal.
interesting, I'm going to investigate on the software part first... You really think it could be a hardware issue?
What's sure is that once the connection is established, it's fast and doesn't drop.
BTW, do you mean seconds after the handset is waken up from sleep?
Hum, after looking in my Remove section on my handset, nothing appears, is there some kind of registry cleaner for smartphone?

Does anyone have a problem with their wifi locking up their xda iis? I have bought a linksys router and am getting frequent lockups when using wifi. I am using the shipped O2 rom, thanks
I have no problem at all with Netgear router. Try changing the connection speed setting in the router to the "b" mode only. Hopefully this can solve your problem.
No problems here either I'm afraid. I'm using a Draytek Vigor 2600VG at home and at work there are two of us with XDA IIs using a Linksys BEFDSR41W wireless router and no problems there either.
Sorry! :-(
Try a hard reset (gulp!) and see if you still have problems (Without anything else installed that might be inteferring) otherwise might be a faulty unit perhaps.
--Neil
I second what xanth said, I had the problem where wifi would not turn on, so I hard reset and installed each software back individually the problem was Calligrapher 7.3 did not like being in Storage or Storage Card only in Main memory (go figure)

I use the XDA IIs on a variety of wireless networks and experience problems with an alarming regularity. The most annoying is the fact that the top bar seems to loose functionality, when using wireless!!
I will actually add that I do seem to have problem with the "range" of WiFi.
I need to do more testing, but it doesn't seem to be more than 20m or so before have communication issues/timing out :-( Will have to find out what our walls are made of!!!
I have problems connecting sometimes. I regularly use three routers, Draytek, Buffalo and Belkin. The only time that it locks up is when using skype. The skype problem is a known issue with no cure.

I am having a problem where my Siemens SX66 will loose connection to my Microsoft MN700 wireless AP on occasion. -It simply appears as if the Wifi radio shuts itself off.
Weird.....
Wifi has never worked for me. It simply doesn't work in the way nature intended.
The main problem (as far as I can tell) seems to be that it cannot get DNS or IP configuration settings from my router (Belkin 7630) automatically.
It can connect to my wireless network without any hassle, but that's about it. If I enter DNS and IP settings manually it works fine. But this is unworkable if you want to connect to another wireless network.
If I can't sort this out by next week I'm going to sell the unit on eBay. It's been nothing but a pain since I mistakenly bought it in December.
Wifi is a nightmare on this device! I'm going back to Nokia.
I am going to do a hard reset and test to see if i still get any freezes. Anyone know of any software i can use to backup my text messages?

Hi guys,
Haven't had too many issues with WiFi over here - standard O2 Asia ROM (with the BT 3500 update).
I'm running a Netgear WG602 @ home with 64bit WEP and a Dlink AP2100 @ work with WPA-PSK. No connectivity problems at either location, both DHCP. It does however take a few minutes to connect, but this is on the odd occasion.
The only frustrating thing with the WiFi is that I have to soft-reset often to turn Wi-Fi on - any ideas? Hopefully O2 will fix this in the next ROM. Other than that, I've had the Nokia 9500, P900/800 and this is by far the best device for the power user.
Just me 2c!
Cheers

Wifi is on all the time on my device, sometimes when I switch the device on while within range of an AP it does not connect. Often switching wifi off and then onn again causes it to connect. If this does not work then I can often go into the network dialogue section, and see the network marked as 'availble' but not connected (why it sometimes does not auto connect I dont know). Tapping connect usually cures. If that does not work then I too need to soft reset.
I hope like you that they fix this cause its damned anoying. I will be interested to see what the Benq P50 is like when its released. I shall get one from expansys to test and ship it back within the 7 days.
Nigel
As for those having problems with specific access points. It is not nessesarily the fault of the blue angel. It seems to me that none of the manufacturers of wireless kit understand the term 'standard' they all seem to have their own take on it, which is why kit from different manufacturers refuses to talk to each other. I am of the opinion that they do it in purpose to lock you into using their client cards with their AP's !!
Try it with some non Belkin kit and see what happens.
Nigel
Well i tried a hard reset and didnt install any apps and tried connecting to wifi again and still got a lockup and loss of connectivity. Im going to swap the router for another make and see what happens
Swapped my linksys router for a D-Link and so far no problems after 2 days. so looks like my problem was my router.

XDA IIi and wifi
I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point. When I finally figured out how to set the IP manually (the 02 xda tech support said it can't be done - maybe they're right ;-)
I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.
Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)
Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)
So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.
thanks for any help

Hi
For ping, ipconfig and stuff, head to http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html
I have had multiple issues trying to get wifi working reliably. It still fails now, but there are a few tricks to get it working again. Most of my wifi issues have been due to regular use of three AP's [email protected] and [email protected] along with GPRS and VPN.
To start with I suggest setting all the ****e in connections (internet and home network to 'My ISP' then goto your wifi setup, network adapters, and tell it that the wireless card connects to the internet. Now, tap ok, and goto tools, network cards, tap the active connection (it must already be connected) and ensure that its set to internet.
Next soft reset the thing, and wait for it to connect to yr wifi. Now, use the ipconfig tool and ping tool from the above site to check that all is OK. Check that its got the default gateway right and a sensible LAN IP.
I have found on occasion that I can be connected via wifi, but that the device is still trying to talk using an old IP allocated by gprs which means nothing to my lan! IPconfig will show if all is OK.
Whoever wrote the whole of the networking system (and its terrible gui's) on windows mobile wants shooting. I usually have 2 VPN profiles setup under my work network. If I leave it set to that, and use wifi from my lan to connect to the internet all is fine. However if I try and access a local server, the damned thing starts trying to connect a vpn (it aint inteligent enough to work out that the IP I asked it to connect to is local).
I have been trying to find a setting for all this networking rubbish that allows me to do *everything* without reconfiguring each time - to no avail.
Another thing to note is that you cant send/receive MMS messages while wifi is connected (more stupidity), it tries to connect to the MMS server using the wifi connection, and the telco blocks it cause it wants to charge you for sending MMS over GPRS. Only solution is to disconnect wifi, send MMS then reconnect wifi!!!

No problems with WiFi for me
Hmm I'm using an O2 Asia Rom as well.. and my wifi manager seems to automatically create "settings" for each AP it detects and I seem to have no problems connecting at all... been using WiFi around my house since the first day i got it..
i am using a Linksys Wireless 802.11b router..
btw I am new here.. finally able to register!
How's everybody doing?
Cannot turn off IEEE 802.1x
Has anyone had problems unchecking the 'IEEE 802.1x netwrok access control' checkbox???
I uncheck it, but then when I go back to the screen (click on the connection | then select 802.1x tab at the bottom) it has checked itself again!
The XDA IIs does not save the setting - it just keeps re checking itself 02 help have been no use - they sent me an instruction manual and it even says in one of the step 'uncheck IEEE check box'
Im am using a netgear wirelesss router and have also tried on a d-link
Sugestions - is anyone else having this problem??
Hi,
maybe something im missing here but i was at a friends house the other day and he has a wireless access point set up (open with no encrption set up yet ...just for testing purposes). so basically he is broadcasting his SSID. I turned my wifi on my m2000 and it picked up his access point and showed me that my phone had connected, with the WIFI signal enabled...however i could not browse or use the net which tells me that i was not picking up an IP address...wats going on here? any clues?
thanks for any help

if the AP's DHCP sevice is off,you can't get the IP automatically
The DHCP is dodgy on my belkin router, so I have each PC and my BA set up to use a specific IP address, rather than rely on the iffy DHCP.
You may find you need to input a DNS if you do it this way.. just copy one off a working PC
Forgive me if I am talking utter c#$* but if you have established a connection have you not been allocated an IP via DCHP? Just taking a step back from router problems, when setting up the wireless connection did you set up for work or internet profile?
simjo, what you say is prefectly logical, but I have seen cases (as the thread poster was suggesting) where a connection has been created, but no IP addy issued. At these times, no internet access etc is possible. i.e. connection is said to be active, but it is useless.
My solution for this problem was as I posted above, dont bother with DHCP. Set IP addresses manually.
I have a similar problem on a new M2000 (so I'm probably overlooking something)
I can connect my PC and laptop to my router (D-Link 614) on WiFi without any problem
The M2000 can "see" the WiFi but there is no connection
When I try to view pages via GPRS there is no response
When I try MSN Messenger, same again there is no response
I've tried several soft and hard reboots, but no difference
I also find switching the "phone" on is very difficult as I am warned to "The phone is off. Do you want to turn Wireless on"
I then turn Flight Mode on, but am then warned that Orange GPRS cannot connect
I have managed to make some test phone calls, but the menus seem to be taking me round in circles...
Any advice welcome
My Best Roms - WIRELESS PROBLEMS FIXED!!
XDA IIs UK from O2 - WIRELESS PROBLEMS FIXED!!
1. Best ROM so far without doubt for me is the BA_TMNL_14200_119_11300_Ship from T-MOBILE
AND its the fastest ROM ive ever used!
2. Best ROM (slightly slower)
XDA 1.42 115 T-Mobile Firmware (uses Radio 1.13)
3. I-Mates 1.40 WWE with Radio 1.13
still had an issue with audio dropping from incoming calls
If you've seen any of my previous posts you'll see the hell i've been in trying to get anything to work with these ROMS, now it ALL works. and I dont say that lightly!
i tried the last 2 factory ROMS from O2 UK 140.237 & 140.242 which is there latest and I had WIFI nightmares with both of those..
I must have spent 30 hours swapping ROMs and this is the best Ive found so far now. Seamless Wireless Hookup everytime! I have Rude FM 88.2 Streaming Live through my Linksys Router at 64k 44khz using Pocket Music 3.2 , Surfing the Net, even the GPRS is stil enabled with the WIFI signal, a special lead pipes the audio to my Amplifier it's been on all day playing variouse stations, Windows Media Player streaming well, even download Skype over the XDA and installed it.
I have a cingular 8525 (WM5, and updated from cingular) which can connect on my wireless at work, but when I want to connect to my personal wireless at home it cannot connect, but it does for unlocked wireless around my appartment.
There's nothing wrong with my wireless system, because my laptop can connect all the time.
It keeps telling me that the password is wrong, but it's right because it works for my laptop.
A highly trained friend in computers tried to fix the problem and he doesn't understand why it doesn't connect, even if i leave my wireless unlocked.
My wireless is from comcast and it's a fast cable-DSL.
I'm thinking to download WM6 and see if it gets fixed...
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I've experienced that too. Here's how I fix my problem.
1.set in PPC as hidden network.
2. Turn on WIFI, delete existing connections, then add new connection and assigned new key ( I use WEP) and that's it.
BTW. Did you set MAC filtering on your Router. If you do , you need to add the PPC MAC address to the router....
Good luck
I agree with pl55, however maybe you should post this in the main Hermes forum as this forum is for questions related to WM6...
Just a gentle suggestion
Mate,
There a few of us who have had strange things take place with wifi on the HTC handsets. Me being one of them. My wifi at home is 100% stable when it comes to pc's yet when it comes to my handheld it is completely unpredictable - until...........
I have just upgraded my ROM (again) to Black Shadow and all of the issues have gone away. I haven't even had to do anything extra. So what does this tell me????? It tells me that there are certain things in certain builds that cause anomolys problems.
I would give a different ROM a shot. I can vouch for the Black series but I am sure the others are equally good.
Before you do all of that, you might want to see if your handheld is actually seeing your SSID (if its not withheld) by using something other than the wifi software on the handset. Try something like wififofum (great little app).
Good luck.
Up until the official AT&T release of WM6 I have been able to use Slingplayer Mobile on my 8525 (both WiFi and over the AT&T network). I recently updated to VP3g's latest. I am able to work fine over local WiFi, but not over the AT&T network. My thoughts are the it's part of the AT&T crack down on MediaMax users (which I am). I don't use it that much over the network, but was wondering if anyone else has this issue since upgrading to the 'official' release.
I have read on other forums that other users are having the same issue. Basically, when working over the network, I get to the 'Starting' and notice that the indicator goes from H to 3G after a few seconds...and then the message pops up.
Everything else seems to work fine, tho I don't have as much program space (20 MB vs 27 MB) as I did on VP3g's 3.0 version.

I use slingplayer with vp3g's newest rom. works no problem.
I have MediaMax too. wap.cingular works fine.
Run the disable proxy cab and try it then...
And make sure that your My ISP is set to wap.cingular with [email protected] pw. (for the mediamax workaround without using the MediaNet connection(which I believe has a built in proxy)).
But try the disable proxy...
Thank you for the response. I did try the disable proxy with no change in the result (it installs successfully, but Sling does not work).
I was not implying that it was anything to do with VP3G's version of the new OS...I'm sure it's something that I forgot to do.
I was thinking it might have to do with a recent upgrade from DSL Ultra to Xtreme (where you have a dedicated IP address)...so today I performed the Slingplayer internet access setup again. Tried to access via the AT&T network with the same results...
Locating
Connecting
Starting...
Starting...
Then after about 5 to 10 seconds it goes from H to 3G and and back to H and I get the SlingPlayer popup that says 'Cannot continue streaming due to weak connection. Please try again later.'
I have 3 bars, so I don't think it's the signal...I wonder if something needs to be setup on the DSL modem now that it has a dedicated IP address...
Thank you again for any suggestions.

Having a static IP should not change your upload speed on DSL. It does however mean that you don't have to enter the million digit finder id for the slingbox anymore, just put in your static ip with the proper port.
Have you always been in the same place when this happened? Always at home perhaps? or work? I'm thinking that it might be a tower issue....hmmm
You of course can use PIE and get on the internet no prob right?
Two bars of signal should be fine, I've gotten it to work on one bar of EDGE before (awful quality, and choppy) so it should work great with that strength..,,,
OK. Try this. From your house try to get on (from the 8525) and see if
1) Network lights on slinglink flash(if you have one)
2) Red lights on the slingbox come on/flash (red network should flash I believe; red led on the "u" should come on if connected
Sounds like you are connecting to the box, but losing connection after the handshake.
Go to www.dslreports.com and do an uplink speed test from your home network. Gotta rule out everything....
Hope this helps.
I had the same problem, but upgraded my slingbox to the next build and it is working again. I'm using a PC, and when I loaded slingbox on my pc it said a new version is available.
I've found someone with the same problem!!
My XDA orbit with WM6 slings fine within my home wifi network but doesn't work anywhere else over gprs or wifi.
Interestingly, it works fine outside my home if I share a wifi connection with my laptop but if the phone connects itself, I get the locating, then streaming then weak connection.
I guess it's an issue with the wifi connection on the phone but quite why it works on my home network but not anywhere else in the world is a mystery!
I have the latest software for slingbox.
All help gratefully received
Jon
Which Slingbox Mobile version are you using? Version 1.2 does not work on WM6 (unless you run the patch floating around here) and version 1.5 does.
Very strange
Very strange. Mine works fine with the ATT WM6 Rom. I have cable so I DNS. Every once in a while i get the issue you are talking about but I just soft reset and then the I connect no problem. In case you want to narrow it down...I use the following:
Slingbox Classic
Time Warner Cable
8525 with WM6 and slingplayer version 1.5
I have verified that the issue occurs whether I'm near home or 60 miles away, in either case going through the AT&T network. I do see the light come on my slingbox pro when the PDA says Starting. I've checked and I have the lastest versions for windows, mac, and mobile. I'm wondering if there is some issue with my router as I do remember having to reboot that a few weeks ago (you can see that I don't use the mobile version that much, but of course now I miss it).
I'll check on the router and let you all know. I did have 4 bars today when testing from home...and as I said it works fine via my home WiFi.
Thank you all for the support, it has been great!
Works fine for me w/ Vp3g 3.62
I have a standard vp3g rom w/ 1.54 radio. My Slingbox pro works fine w/ a 3G connection, but no so good w/ Edge (no surprise there.) I'm even running a wireless ethernet bridge to it - not hardwired. I can't explain why you are having any issues, but do confirm you have the latest ROMs on all your networking equipment, including the slingbox and your Router. Good luck.
Still no joy...wondering if I should re-install the OS...I installed Sling Player Mobile again, removed, then re-installed because I noticed that it wasn't listed under the program list via add/remove programs...I suspected that there was something with the last install...
I re-installed ActiveSync 4.5 on my PC because it was acting funny (would disconnect from my PDA with no message sometimes) that seems to be fine now...
I checked my router...it has a passthru setting for my Slingbox IP address and std port.
My DSL modem has IP Passthru to my router...
My only thought is to re-install the OS which has been a pain because I have Garmin Mobile 10 and have been reloading the maps each time so that they are available...I'll copy the garmin folder from My Device to my desktop, maybe that will remove this necessity...
Any more ideas let me know...
Thank you,
Tim
I ran the mobile speed test on DSL reports, at 400k it said 633/512/437 kbs, earlier in the day it said the file was too small. At 1 MB I got 574/454/499 kbs, earlier in the day it was 791 kbs.
I'm in south Florida, I'm using:
ROM version: vp3G 3.62.3
ROM date: 10/11/07
Radio version: 1.50.00.00
Protocol version: 32.83.7020.20H
SlingPlayer Mobile 1.5.0.98
SlingPlayer is loaded on 2GB storage card. It was working with vp3G 3.60...and 1.50.00.00.
I reloaded the OS and with just sling player loaded on internal...still no joy.
I reset the DSL modem to factory settings and enabled IP Passthru for my router, no joy.
I even set my slingbox in the DMZ, no joy.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with my radio..1.50?
I have another option...besides DSL I have cable and may try connecting the sling box through that...
Any other ideas?
I've verified setup for internet viewing via my PC...
Just an idea... Try orb.com.
I stream my video via a connection to cable on my PC via Orb.
Mike
Interesting findings this weekend. As mentioned previously, I have internet access via cable modem and DSL Xtreme. I moved the slingbox, pc, and router over to my cable modem. Setup everything so that the PC could see the Sling locally and it works fine. When I try to configure for remote viewing, it does not work! I manually configured the router and still no Joy.
I then put the router and slingbox on the DSL LAN and reset the router to defaults (no port forwarding, etc.) Configure everything to work locally, then setup remote network viewing...sling setup thinks all is fine. I check the router...nothing has changed, no port forwarding entries, etc. So I manually configure.
I hook my pc up to the cable modem directly, get internet access and attempt to connect to the sling. It connects almost immediately and then sits on Optimizing for about a minute without any bars or activity going on within the viewer.
I'm wondering if this is a problem with my router...I can run speed tests with multi megabyte files without any issues...
My router is a d-link wbr1310..which used to work...but I guess it's possible that my problem has been discovered...any thoughts?
BTW, I down graded my radio to 1.48 prior to doing all of this and that didn't make any difference which led me to do all of the following for problem isolation.
Thanks for any thoughts...

Hi
I have upgraded a few months ago to Samsung's ICS 4.0.3 stock rom but rooted on my 989, and have noticed that when I pair my bluetooth headphones and begin listening to music, the Wifi hotspot cuts out (ssid disappears, lose IP address on computer). This case is also reproducible if I do the reverse. Eg. Start fresh (BT headphones not connected), and I start my Wifi hot spot, get the PC, or playbook or other device to connect to the Wifi. I can ping -t google or similar, without issue or any interruptions. The second I turn on on my bluetooth headset and it connects to the phone, the ping takes a dump, times out, and I lose IP connectivity to the phone's 192.168.43.1 IP. My BT headset is the RF-MAB2 for what it's worth, and this issue does not happening when using regular 3.5m stereo headphones in the headphone jack.
Is there any known solution or work around to this? I don't recall this being a problem in Android v3 honeycomb, as I did the exact same thing without issue.
Any ideas or suggestions? Can I somehow pull the tether Java jar app out from honeycomb and use it in ICS?
thanks,
Jonathan
edit: fixed some spelling whoops.
Before you go ahead and pull an app from an older Android version check to see if you are having the same issue with another Bluetooth device connected with your phone. I am on a custom ROM so I'm not able to reproduce your issue. Although, I have been able to use a PS3 controller through Bluetooth to my phone while Wi-Fi was on, without Wi-Fi losing connectivity.
Also, if you have a capable router, try changing between 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz to see if that works. Even though Bluetooth is using a different frequency, there is a chance that it is interfering with your Wi-Fi signal, especially if you have a lot of devices connected to the router at the same time. You can also try changing the channel of your router and see if that does anything.
There may be other solutions but what I have mentioned is worth attempting to start troubleshooting your issue. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look for another BT device; I hadn't thought about that one. I usually only use tethering when im away from home, so there aren't any SSID's that show up in the wifi networks that should be interferring. Perhaps your onto something with my specific BT device and the new ICS not liking something about it, I will try an ebay ad2p / bt 3.5 mm adapter and see if it works any better, as they're cheaper than ~50 for a trial and error at futureshop.
Let me know if anything else comes to mind - thanks
