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?
So I have a issue, I experience buffering when I try to stream audio via Bluetooth To my Philips fidelio while on wifi. If I turn off Bluetooth the buffering goes away. Can Bluetooth and wifi not be used at the same time? I have a 2.4 ghz wifi router only. Also if I turn off wifi "use 4g" and just use Bluetooth the buffering goes away as well. Does anyone else have this issue?

This happens on many phones because the wifi and Bluetooth often share the same antenna since space is crucial, both operate in the same general frequency range. Not much you can do I don't think.
I wonder if I got a 2.4 & 5ghz router if that would solve the problem

i got the same problem: everytime i stream music to my bluetooth headset and leave wifi turned on my nexus looses wifi connection when the screen is turned off.

That's a great experiment to try. I remember back on my nokia n95 wifi and bt stuttered together cause they shared antenna. But surely 5ghz has a desperate antenna? Curious.
I have the same issue. If I keep the screen on it doesn't buffer. The best solution I have found is to put the phone in clock mode so you don't get screen burn in. I used tasker to setup a profile when the phone is plugged in.
I haven't tried the 5ghz wifi but heard that works. My phone sees my 5ghz router but it won't connect. I tried all the channels but I guess that's a different bug to sort out.

Just tried this and it seems to be working for me as well ... Thanks for your help
Did you try setting your phones wifi to 5ghz only in the advanced setting ?
I think Franco kernel updater has a setting to fix this.

I've noticed that when streaming video over HDMI with my Bluetooth mouse paired, it sometimes gets choppier than when I turn the mouse off. Similar effect I guess.
If screen on fixes this than that's a different issue than antenna sharing bandwidth problem. Sounds more like the android 4 power reduction bug kicking in throttling the CPU or data or something.

I tried that and it still won't connect although it sees the 5ghz. Not a big deal because the range on my 5ghz sucks anyways, i just wanted to try it and see if it fixed this issue.
I got the Phillips speakers as well. I'm a little disappointed by the slow charge and low speaker volume for the price, but it works.
I did an alternative setup for my dad with a pair of cheap computer speakers from Walmart and Bluetooth dongle from Ebay. I also got a desktop cradle with spare battery slot that does a fast charge. In total it ended up costing a lot less than the Phillips speakers and probably sounds better.
Hey everyone, iv just started using my phone as a multimedia remote when im in bed watching some netflix or something. And the app (Gremote) uses wifi to connect to the gremote server on my pc in order to control it.
Now I know that arc's do seem to have some pretty terrible wifi problems in terms of dropping out etc. This ever really bothered me, until i started to use it as a remote, and now its become a pain....
Is there any 'definitive' way to fix this problem? If not, is there a way for me to connect my phone to wifi through the pc's connection rather than directly to the router? (without the use of cables)
Thanks!
yes it is possible to connect your phone to PC's wifi...i always use that...search for wifi hotspot creator software for PC

Awesome thanks ill take a look! hotspot is the word i was looking for, heard it before, just escaped my mind . Since you use it this way, do you notice any significant improvement on the wifi signal?
Thanks.
Just like to follow up for anyone else that might be wondering, it really does boost the signal, i now have full wifi signal on my Arc S, which is great for using it as a remote since there are no more drop outs causing the mouse to jump all over. Also, just for clarification i used the software called "connectify".
Cheers.
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
Wifi on my OnePlus 3 is very weak compared to my 1st gen Moto G . Audio is stuttering while playing through bluetooth . Already tried replacing the phone but the issue is still there . If anybody has a solution please do let me know . TIA
Do you mean the wifi reception is weak when you are away from the router or all the time ?

On WiFi I have the same issue also: where my previous OP2 was getting signal wih no problem, with this I'm getting it weak or none.
No issue regarding Blueooth.
I'm hoping to get an update soon (I read somewhere that 3.1.3 makes it better, so I hope the 3.1.4 bring that modification also)
Get new router.
I am also running 3.1.2 and I can confirm that wifi is much weaker than on all my nexus devices.
Haven't read anything about it getting better with 3.1.3. Sure it is not an hardware issues, do u have any sources reporting that?

You're right. This is the changelog of 3.1.3
* Camera HDR performance tuning
* Bluetooth and NFC connectivity improvements
* Bug fixes in general telephony
* Bug fixes in Google and OnePlus apps
While this one is for 3.1.4

I've had to issues with either, and I stream bluetooth everyday in my car.
I can't say I've had any Wifi issues but I've definitely had Bluetooth connectivity issues in my car. Question. There is already talk about update 3.1.4 coming out but I haven't even received 3.1.3 yet. Is this something that should be pushed to my phone or do you have to load the OTAs manually? Sorry if that sounds stupid. This is my first oneplus phone so I'm a little new to the experience
Bluetooth while using my phone is rubbish on my op3 caller's keep cutting in and out of the conversation getting on my nerves!!!!!
Bluetooth on my car is almost perfect... Wifi is bad in terms of weak signal.

3.1.3 is not official I think. U can download it as a custom rom without a problem. OP3 Lite is pretty good and debloated. Like stock but with less bloat.
I posted a similar WiFi issue in the one plus forums but no response so far. Maybe it's just me facing this issue:
There is definitely something wrong with OP3 or the ASUS router.
I am experiencing a strange issue with WiFi. The wireless router is about 45 feet away from my bedroom. I am able to use WiFi in my bedroom on my laptop, HTC M7, One Plus One, and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. However, when I use OP3 there, I am connected to WiFi (router) but it says there is no Internet connection. As I walk closer to the router, the problem goes away. Can someone please suggest a solution?
For now, this is how I have improved the situation:
However, here is the workaround.
1. Note down the MAC address of your phone. Settings->About Phone->Status- IP Address section shows a number separated by ":".
2. Login to your router as administrator. If you are using DHCP, the IP addresses are being assigned automatically by the router. This is where we will make a change. For the phone mac address, set the IP address as static (one way to get an IP address is to check what IP address is assigned to your phone when you are connected to WiFi). Note down this IP address and assign manually on the router to this MAC address.
3. Now, the last part. On your phone go to your WiFi network. Long press and modify. Choose Static IP address option. Assign the IP address you hard coded on the router for this device. Set the Gateway to the LAN IP address of the router. Set the DNS servers as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google servers). This should make things work.
put me down for bluetooth issues as well. It connects to my caddy then drops 1 min later.

Strange. Assigning a static IP shouldn't solve Wifi-connection problems...
But: thanks anyway.
had more issues with note 4 and Bluetooth than with this 1+3. I hope all signal problems are software related and not something related to antennas.

You are right. This was not the solution that should have worked. But it is working for me most of the time. I think OP3 needs an update to fix the WiFi issue.
Bluetooth and Wifi Issues
I too am experiencing issues. First of all my wifi is significantly slower than on my OPO. It also gets worse reception than my OPO did. Bluetooth is a complete mess right now. My car radio will not play if I press the play button, and I have to go into the app to play music everytime. At my home wifi it stutters very often and it randomly stops playing. It will often stop playing a playlist when there is 3 seconds left in a song, yet it does not show paused. It just sits there. I can not tell if this is on OP or spotify's end, but it is really annoying me. It happens even when I am not on bluetooth. But the constant stuttering happens over bluetooth no matter the app.
I'm surprised to see this thread. I find the WiFi on my OP3 exceptional.
My moto x pure and laptop (razer blade) don't get WiFi in my bathroom but my OP3 gets full service.
Yeah for some reason I can't get past 2mb/s down on a 50mb connection. Works fine on everything else, even the upload reaches 10mb/s on the phone. This seriously is a huge problem. It even takes about a minute to obtain an up address after connecting to the network
