Hi guys. i've been having problems with my htc sensation xe bluetooth connecting to a Jabra BT earphones. Its seems that im getting weak connection signal with the sensation xe. Ive even tried other brand of BT earphones and still the connection is weak. Distance away from the device when i get a skippy connection is less than 2 meters then it disconnects.
So now ive decided to root my sensation xe to a ARHD 6.6.4 rom with the latest radio, kernel s-off etc...but still no sign of improvement.
Can anyone shed some light why this is happening?

I connected my motorla s9-hd bluetooth headphones to my sensation, and it constantly skips, so I thought it was the headphones. So i bought a Platonics bluetooth ear piece and it does the same thing.. They both work fine when the phone is 2 feet from the ear pieces. But if it's in my pocket or my hands are around it it breaks up. I read about the "grip of death" on this phone, and was wondering if anyone had a solution. I called HTC and they said they have no fix. Does anyone elses Sensation do this? Thanks, Nikko
Well HTC has some weird BT stacks, that could be the problem, but blue-tooth will always be effected by obstructions. I too have a s9-hd and ill try it out to see if i get the same problem.
I have the exact same issue. The headphones work great when connected to my MacBook, but when connected to my Sensation they constantly skip and cut out. I am waiting for CM7 as it should have better Bluetooth stacks.

I talked to some people nd they said the phones Bluetooth and WiFi antennas are behind the battery cover and that's why hands interfere with it.. I know obstructions will interfere with it, but your hands and pockets shouldnt

I have the same problem. Also a S9 and Sensation. The interference come whenever I an farther than 6 meters away...

I'm having the same problem with my phone. I can't get a reliable or even a passable connection on either of my headsets(S9 & Blueant T1) or my car stereo. The bluetooth on this phone is an absolute JOKE. It's barely functional & is easily the worst bluetooth performance of any phone I've ever had. It will pair & connect but I can't even turn my head while streaming audio without it skipping & cutting out, and that's with it just sitting on my desk in front of me, not being touched at all. I can't put it in my pocket or get more than 10 feet from it without it disconnecting completely either. I've tried various roms including CM7(the Kang build) & the problem persists with every one. I've been using my old HD2 for the past 2 days & both headsets work just fine with it so I know it's definitely the phone. This is absurd, I didn't pay $400 for this damn thing(early upgrade) just to NOT be able to use a common feature that even the cheapest dumbphones can manage to do right. T-Mo offered me a G2X when I called to request a replacement yesterday & I chose another Sensation just b/c I already have so many accessories for it, but if the new phone has the same problems I'm just gonna send it back & take the G2X. I think this phone just might be the end of my run with HTC >:|
Does your replacement do the same thing?

Yes, there was no difference at all. Its definitely a design flaw. I ended up sending the refurb back anyway cause the damn earpiece speaker died in the middle of a phone call after 1 day.
Im gonna keep the sensation just cause I do have so much stuff for it, but as soon as the Hercules comes out I'm jumping the HTC ship. I'm done with their form-over-function BS. I'll take an ugly, 'plasticky' phone that works well over a solid, pretty one that's full of glitches >:/
What ROM are you running? I have a motorola s305 Bluetooth headset, and I experienced the skipping issue on the stock ROM. After I switched to a ROM with less garbage running in the background and/or an overclocked kernel, the problem went away. I think the problem stems from a busy CPU.
Android Revolution (3.1.0), Insert Coin (2.2.5 sse w/bricked kernel 0.91) and Cyanogen Mod 7 Alphas 1, 2, 4 and 6 have all played back by music with less or no skipping. Insert Coin is the best for me.
I am using mike's 3.6.1 de Rom

Also want to put this out there. I was reflashing a few things and tried out the older faux kernels and such and came across that the kernel actually borked my bluetooth all together. I tried pairing and nothing worked. I rebooted a few times to no avail. I reverted to stock kernel and now all works and bt still works fine for me.

I've had some odd problems like that too. I go back and forth between CM7 alphas and insert coin and sometimes on switching back to IC (by restoring a NAND backup with working bt) bt is just broken. I can sometimes get it to work by deleting my headset from the "pairing" list. Not quite the same as your problem, I know, but it does seem like bt is sensitive to changes in the kernel. Like I said before, bricked 0.91 at 1.53gHz works with effectively no skipping (only ocassional delays on locking the screen).
It skipped for me with the stock Rom as well. If its directly in front of me it works fine.. also (altittle off subject) how is everyone's battery life. On the new de mine is horrible! 3.2 with the dual core patch was awesome

I contacted T-Mobile for a replacement and they said no because its a known issue and there working to fix it.. so well see!

I never had that short range problem that you are describing. Worked fine on sense based roms. But I do know that htc uses screwy bt drivers. I switched to cm7.1 and I believe they are the normal bt drivers for android. You might give it a try and see if perhaps your range increases or whatever other problems go away.
ya i have same problem put phone in pocket = bluetooth sucks
Hi
I didn’t found an answer to this question.
I’m coming from an HTC Desire and have the Sensation for a week now. Most ‘issues’ are solved to an acceptable level. The remaining issue I have is that the Sensation does not recognize my Headset with Mic (Audéo PFE 122). It worked sometimes, sometimes not. Headphones work well, but it’s not recognized having a Mic, therefore I cannot use it.
Is it a known problem (ROM, Kernel) or should I consider a hardware fault?
Thanks
I forgot to tell that it works with the HTC headset. No hardware issue. At least nit from HTC.

Solution
It's a kernel issue.
The problem can be solved with different kernels. For instance:
Bricked_XE-1.6.beta2-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984

if you flashed jb and 4.1+ and than you got that problem....than i can help you
I have started using a BlueANT T1 that I was using with my Nexus One with my HTC Sensation 4g (Evil T-Mobile) since I finally retired my N1. The issue I am having is if I put the Sensation in my phone holder on my belt, the person on the other line can hear me, but I can't hear them. So I figured I would do a small test and I can get 8ft away from the phone if I put it down before I start dropping signal. My Wifi seems fine, and the connections on my phone under the back cover are connecting. I am just wondering if there is a way to increase the range of the bluetooth. I am using the "recommended radio" for the rom "[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.6.5" but would flashing another radio give me a better range on the bluetooth? I tried posting in the forum, but haven't gotten a response yet.
Thanks in advance!
Has anybody else been having bluetooth issues?
For some weird reason, I can't make calls go through my car's bluetooth.
AD2P(music streaming) works just fine, but calls it won't even ring through my car speakers.
This wasn't the case with my Blackberry, Sensation or Vibrant, so I know the car isn't at fault here
I can make calls but it drops them after about 20 seconds, i cant seem t remedy it either.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
Mine works fine with my bluetooth handsfree from Nokia in my car, but unfortunately the one on the other end of the call hears his/her own voice (like an echo).
I have never had any issues with that handsfree with the phones I've used before (HTC One X, Galaxy SII, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS)!
N I'm guessing you guys are running stock?
Nope, actually running TrickDroid 5.0, but I also had the issue on stock ROM...
hmm.. interesting. I have been having issues, but not the same ones. and its not all the time. but i can usually make a call ok with my BT headset, but when streaming music (any app) with a2dp, i get cuts and stops almost all the time. i am rooted, and have tried it on several roms. i cannot recreate the probelm everytime, but it doesnt seem to be signal related as it has happened on wifi as well. strange
it's htc rom issue. every htc rom i have tried have this problem including syncing my address book with my car. aokp and cm9 builds don't have this issue for some reason
I can't get my phone to sync with the car - they just don't find each other.
Car is a Toyota sienna, running stock ROM on my phone :-(

Hello!
Please help me if you can!
I have problems with connection of bluetooth headset! I have an other HTC Phone (Desire Z - 2.3.6.) and using multipoint headset (Jawbone ERA and Motorola HX1).
My problem that randomly (without any reason) disconnect from my One S the bluetooth headset (de Desire Z still connected without any problem). If i turn off and on the BT on the phone is not reconnect, if i try manually (from the menu) reconnect, can't connect.
Here coming some weired thing too...if this happen my Motorola turn off and on, and reconnect without any problem. But if i try to this with the Jawbone nothing happening, the only way to reconnect if i wait half an hour or reboot my phone or if i re-pair.
I pretty sure that this problem is cause the phone, but i dont know why.
I have JB 3.16.111.10 fw T-mobile (DE) CID: TMOB101.
Have anybody idea how to solve this?
Thanks!
Regards
Good morning!
I have an issue with my Nokia BH - 218 bluetooth. After a random time I notice that the sound drops and comes back again (like renegotiation between the HTC sensation and the bluetooth). Then after a while I stop hearing from my bluetooth, the call isnt dropped but I cannot hear it from the cell phone either.
Is the radio version responsible for the bluetooth communication? Im on Viber 1.5.1 and on radio 11.59.3509.00P
It could be
Where can you fine the latest radios?

Yes,bluetooth is controlled by the radio.
