Seems like we might have to wait another year before we get a decent bluetooth on a HTC phone, my a2dp headset becomes static ridden when using another bluetooth device at same time, this also results in call disconnects on 3G network when a application tries to access the internet. Argh HTC is going to ****.

I have been getting really mad with my polaris. I have the following headsets, jabra 8010, samsung wep200 and motorola s9. when the phone is in my pant pocket, I get tons of static when on calls. This is very annoying, are you guys experiencing similar problems with static on this phone, can't believe the bluetooth on this device sucks so bad.
i'm using the Blueant Z9, the Plantronics 510 and the Motorola H681 and i have not had any "static" complaints when used with my Orbit 2. note, however, that my Orbit 2 is running bepe's .53 WM 6.1 ROM.
i don't know much about the Samsung and the S9, but every Jabra that i've used has always had static issues with my HTC devices ...
I also bought the sony bluetooth watch which disconnects randomly from the phone, i also upgraded the radio, then the rom to the 0.53 Bepe, didn't solve anything. it is so bad, if I have 3g on, the calls gets dropped.
very frustrating. sending the phone back to mobileplanet.
curious to know where are you're having problems with 3G calls getting dropped... also, unless bepe's ROM had a different radio, my radio is stock. i used my phone for 1 hour straight today with the Z9, 3G and GPS all active and had no problems. during the call, i also received 14 emails from 3 different accounts.
sending the phone back due to dropped calls on 3G i can understand. hope you get it sorted out...
I have a HTC touch pro (wm6.1) and even if I'm very close to my wifi router it has to reconnect frequently. I even set the wifi settings in the phone to better performance and still no difference.
I'm using sip softphone over wifi and wondering if anyone has or has not the same issue with maintaining steady wifi connectivity atleast for an hour, if so, which phone do you have?
I use Sony Ericson C 905 and i always use wifi internet on it and its realy good to use
I'am using HTC Wildfire and my Wifi adapter has range about 20-30m.
My phone's connection will usually outlast my laptop's, I've always been very impressed with it.
Some new models do seem to suffer from a "death grip" depending on how you hold them though, could that be an issue for you?

My evo seems to periodically have issues when switching from home wifi to 3g when leaving in the morning.
Sounds like your router. I've never had a phone drop wifi, I've had too many Wifi phones to list, but currently have iPhone 4, Droid Incredible, HTC Surround, Google Nexus One, Samsung i920, and a MyTouch 3G. Current router is a Linksys WRT610N with Broadcom chipset. I did have occasional wifi dropping with my old router under heavy wireless load. That was an Airlink AR670W with Ralink chipset.
A good router can sometimes make all the difference.

I have an HTC Dream and I don't have any problems with wifi although it is usually very low. Sometimes it could be a little unreliable... But in general it's not bad..
Overall I am loving this phone. I have never had an Android phone this fast. I can't find a hint of lag on this thing.
I am, sadly, having a couple of other issues and want to get other peoples thoughts on things before I do anything "Drastic".
1) I heard somewhere they boosted the sound by 25%? If I have mine at full... I am hearing static and popping... like it is too much for the speakers. This is when I get a text/ringtone, or when I am playing a game (Robot Unicorn Attack for instance... don't judge).
2) Wifi.... I am getting weird "lag" when I am on wifi. Websites take longer to connect to and load... same with apps and the Playstore. Speed test I am only able to pull down 15MB/s. Low ping... but it takes forever (6-10 seconds) to connect to start the test. Have tried three different routers, same results (Netgear,an E3200, and a D-Link). Everything looks normal under settings. Full strength (in the room of the router... gets worse when I am downstairs). I unchecked the Wifi Optimization. Also it is doing this on 5 and 2.4 GHz.
3) GPS Lag - It seems to be taking longer than normal. I am going on a trip this weekend, and I will really get to test this then... but wanted to know if this is normal for an HTC device now a days (last one I owned was the Thunderbolt.... shivers, and GPS was always wonky).
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
1 - In my experience so far, the speakers are definitely louder, but I haven't found any distortion besides audio files that I artificially increased the volume on for previous devices.
2 - I haven't seen any WiFi lag yet. But I'm on vacation currently and the internet here is only 12mbps, instead of my 65mbps at home.
3 - The Engadget review noted some wonky GPS issues.

If you could... when loading up a web page or something... see if it is taking longer than normal to connect to a web page initially. Mine is acting like there is no internet... then all the sudden it loads up fine.
I am also noticing MMS is taking longer than normal to send (I had an S4 before this and it didnt take half as long... maybe it was compressing it more?)
I have just had radio issues in the past with HTC devices and want to nip them before it is too late.

I've been browsing a good bit on WiFi and LTE in the past 2 days. Haven't noticed any lag prior to pages starting to load, at which point I just blame the slow internet here.

Sadly I am still having this issue. Now that the phone has been out a week, anyone noticed anything?
I am not having issues connecting to the Wifi, I am just having issues connecting to the internet once connected to the Wifi. I have now tried this on 5 different home routers and several public Wifi areas and all the same results: going to a webpage has a delay anywhere up to 15 seconds before the page starts to load, and apps have issues connecting as well (Instagram will tell me unable to refresh, and Facebook will tell me I have no network connection). I have tried everything: Renamed the Device to HTC One, tried switching to 2.4 and 5 Ghz band, Unchecked WiFi Optimization... nothing is fixing this "lag".
Speaker issues - Still hearing a popping and crackling of the speakers, and I am seeing others are having the issue as well.
GPS - Went on my trip, I think I was getting the typical "Chicago GPS" lag before, as I would normally get a lock on with my GPS in 3 seconds or less while out in the middle of no where this past weekend.
I personally do not want to go through 15 phones trying to find one that has working WiFi, as it seems the One series has been having issues with WiFi since 4.3. Anyone have any suggestions?
Just browsing the forums for a WiFi issue my M8 has, to hopefully find a fix. This is what I have, not sure if it fits your symptoms as well:
Speedtest on network and bluetooth 11.39Mbps down / 3.85Mbps up
on network no bluetooth 13.98Mbps down / 3.98Mbps up
Speedtest on WiFi and bluetooth 2.53Mbps down / 5.53Mbps up
on WiFi no bluetooth 20.79Mbps down / 6.67Mbps up
Basically, if I keep my BT off, my speeds are fine and inline with what I expect to get, but if it's on it's at a crawl. Seems like WiFi and BT don't want to work in tandem. I haven't found much information on my issue yet, but I'm hoping to before I either do a a full reset or warranty replacement.

No problems here with simultaneous bluetooth and WiFi. I am using a 5GHz router.

The Wi-Fi connection drops with Bluetooth audio connected especially under stress like if I have more than one app using the internet. Should I send it back to warranty? I've got three months left.
I actually just got it back from warranty and according to them they replaced the motherboard. IDK why. The invoice said the phone didn't start up(total bs, never had that issue) but that wasn't the problem. I contacted them about this BT/Wi-Fi problem and the "ghosting" issue with the display. So I don't know why to make of their supposed resolution. I think they didn't do anything and saw that it booted up so they just decided to and it back.
This is BS. It's always done this. My HTC M8 never did this. And a phone should be able to handle a stable internet connection simultaneously with a Bluetooth connection no? Is this normal for this phone?
So this must be inherent with the phone. I can't be alone in this right? The Wi-Fi loses connection due to Bluetooth being on at the same time. At least I've never witnessed any issues with bt off, and I've had this phone now over a year. Maybe it's not so specific to this phone? Well I don't remember it ever happening like this with previous phones. works most of the time but not enough. I have some Wi-Fi reconnect widget I use but it's still annoying obviously. Anyone have a solution?

My G5 haven't had issues with WiFi and Bluetooth being on together. Try WiFi connection that is 5.0 GHz instead of 2.4GHz. Once I had tried 3 HTC 10 phones and when I was connecting to 2.4GHz network then the phone had issues with internet when Bluetooth was on. Once I did some troubleshooting, I was able to solve the issue by connecting to my other band which was 5.0 GHz and that one never gave me any issues.
Ah thanks. That's probably it. But I don't have a better modem to test with. Ill keep that in mind though if I decide to upgrade
If you're still watching this thread, and are still having problems, install the Wifi Analytics Tool and see which channel is the farthest from any other signals (neighbors), then connect to the router (or modem/router if that's what you have) and change the channel to that one. The stronger wifi signal may get through even with Bluetooth making noise.
