Bluetooth Headset Stuttering

[Belisaerio]

While trying to solve Nanny Google turning down my headset when it decided it was too loud, I discovered that it was linked directly to the phone instead of the NT100 as I had thought. So I connected both mine and my wife's headsets through the motorcycle. I'll go into the fiddliness of this later when I find work-arounds to the issues or give up on them.

However, with the motorcycle as the intermediary, the muting problem seems to have gone, though I also gutted Google's permissions. So who knows?

All of that, to tell you this. When I switched to using the motorcycle, I noticed that the sound would stutter; slowing briefly or skipping; usually a fraction of a second. I also noticed it was far worse when I was moving through traffic. This gave me the idea to check the Bluetooth settings on the motorcycle. I turned off 'Discoverable' and the stuttering seems to have almost disappeared. I'll let you know if it comes back, but maybe this can help someone else having the issue.

What did you expect, those rolling dumbphones always have all and everything active (as ignorant/illiterate drivers of the swipe and scroll generation the don't care to turn their crap off...), hence grabbing and drowning any bandwidth nearby...
ze GF and I run our SENA's bike to bike and within urban stop and go the range plummets to 5~6ft, whilst we have like 800 yards out in the open...

Great, but it wasn't the phone. It was the bike

Still, when the car's BT/WLAN/UMTS/etc n transceiver aside have higher transmission power (likely), will that overlay and jitter your onboard connection...
I run a Sena FreeWire BT audio transmitter from my ST to the SLR-II in my Neotec; any time one of those "modern" car creeps up while sitting at a red light, my music transmission acts up...
Up in Norway I had some pastime while waiting on a ferry, so I started uploading photos from my phone to an online gallery...
Right then one of those Hyundai Ioniq's rolled in... BAM!... my cell connection was lost (literally from full to zero bars) plus the site I was connected logged me out and banned me for 24 hours over "suspicious activities"...
That stupid EV must have sucked on any bandwidth it found in it's proximity...

(from the mid 90ies we ran PMR radios for bike to bike com, providing great range... but since every pigsty now has a WLAN router, they won't work anymore near any inhabited area...)
