Glasseye Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 What are your experiences with it. I have figured out how to connect my pc to my "smart" t.v. it works brilliant, until it doesn't. The t.v. freezes up often. When it does this I have to turn the tv off and on again, and then reconnect with the PC. Pain in the ass. Basically my regard of Bluetooth thus far is that it is shit. Any thoughts ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Bluetooth works fairly well at short ranges, but it can easily be interfered with by nearby electrics. I would connect your TV to a common WiFi and cast to it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazle Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 You might like to look at the safety of Bluetooth. There is talk that it is not safe when close to your body - so things like buds, and connecting a smartphone to a wrist tracker should be avoided.

Stillearly Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Works perfectly whenever I have used it for music speakers or earbuds .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 My experience with Bluetooth has been less than favorable too. As interference and range is an issue, I only use them when I'm stationary or moving about a short distance. I also found that if I use them to watch a movie I have to tweak the audio synch slightly to keep the actors mouths in synch with the dialog as they speak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiFlyer Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 It works well enough for me, but I only use it with head phones connected to my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freee!! Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 My main usage is connecting my phone to the hands-free set in my car. The only time I have a problem with that is after I change phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lirchenfeld Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Keep the distance below a handfull of metres in a straight line, provided the line dosn't go through any objects. If the line goes through walls etc the distance is a lot shorter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesitisdakid Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Love it as i have 3 PCs that i use it is great have just 1 keyboard and mouse that works with all of them keeps me from needing 3 mice and 3 keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 I am beginning to think the issue is something to do with the smart t.v. settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I use Bluetooth quite and its a great wire less alternative. Bit it depends on the quality and capability of the devices that you use it with. I have found that the range and strength can vary according to what equipment I use. Since the Bluetooth signal is generated and recieved by individual units, it very much depends on the strength and quality of the signal. Some units work better than others. As has been said, interference from other electronic devices can also play a part in poor pairing. Too many Bluetooth pairings in one room can cause havoc. Always good to have hard wired connection as a back up. I think that over time, Bluetooth technology will be replaced by a more efficient wireless communication. For now most electrical equipment is Bluetooth compatible, except obviously for most white goods (fridges, washing machine etc). Even my room thermostats are Bluetooth that communicate with the boiler. I find the best use of Blutooth is in my car, where I can make/recieve totally hands free calls whilst driving. The smartphone being in very close proximity to the Bluetooth dash unit, never breaks up and also great for playing music from phone through car stereo. Usually a slight glitch for a couple of seconds whilst pairing, but both units remember the pair unless removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will just suddenly cancel itself out. Then I have to turn off/on the t.v. and sign back on. I connect on my PC not a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some devices connect better than others and/or hold the signal better than other devices. When I start growing my audio system if I go with wireless speakers I will go with wifi speakers. Seems like what I am finding is they are much stronger and reliable signal. It might be some kind of issue with the bluetooth function within the t.v. or the computer. Or, maybe I'm just an idiot.

It is more than likely just that. Once two units are paired, that's it unless the signal is broken or corrupted by interference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 You know I just realized something. Every time I turn on the t.v. the air purifier shuts off. The signal on the remote must be the same fucking freq. I wonder if the air purifier is causing some kind of interferrence that is causing the signal to be broken.

Bluetooth fridges and washing machines certainly exist now but wifi connected seems to be more the norm. Personally I don't see the point in connecting either, but these companies will always make shlt we don't need and try to convince us we do.

If that's the case here then electrical noise shouldn't disrupt them, although light from the tv screen could theoretically turn off the purifier if within line of sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am evil i know i have a ir blaster in my phone about a year ago myself and a friend went into Coffee and Beer on Pattaya Tai and i had downloaded a app for remote control for TVs and it covered them all. Well it was morning time and all in the place were off they had 4 or 5 tvs. So i started to turn them on and off and change the volume up and down. the 2 girls working there went mad in the end they thought they had a ghost in the place. Yea I know i know i am bad 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wi fi speakers!!! Brad, I know you enjoy your music a lot. Don't f**k around with those speakers please. Get yourself some proper hi-fi speakers and don't be cheap on the speakers cables. Makes a big difference mate. WiFi speakers... Sacrilege! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for sure understand what you are saying. I am thinking it (wireless) would be something I regret. I need to find someone good at helping me with the wiring though. I'm getting too old for that kind of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
