I have several BT headphones and three Logitech BT receivers connected to active loud speakers. With my previous phones (Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung SII, HTC Desire HD) I could bridge distances up to 10 meters including in other rooms without problems
Whereas with my new HTC One in a distance more than 1 meter I get outages and with more than 3 meters the bluetooth connection is dropped at all. Maybe this has to do with the unibody in general or is just my phone not working as expected?
Do you have similar experiences?

I have the same problem. It's a bit disappointing. We can only hope it's a software issue.

It has definitly to do with WiFi switched on. If it is off, everything works fine as expected.
Sometimes (I haven't understood the logic), you can switch WiFi on again after connecting to your bluetooth device and it works perfect.
Turned WiFi off. Works like a charm now.

Been looking a BT headset and not really sweet ng anything good. I'd really prefer not a single earpiece but that seems to be the only ones with a mic. Any suggestions on headsets?

No mic on it. I doubt the phone will pick up voice from a pocket or will it?
The one I have now is just loose in the ear just turning my head it almost falls out.

Didn't see it in the picture, it's hidden well then. The headset looks nice the only downside was no mic, but since it has one, it may be one I order.
Se mw600 ftw
I have the Sony MW600 as well and it is indeed nice, especially since you can use any IEMs with it.
Lately I have been mulling over the upgrade to the newly released MW1 but there seems to be compatibility issues with the microSD slot built into it.

i am thinking about getting a pair of these
LG Tone HBS-700
My favorite headset and I think I tried them all. Awesome battery life (10+ hours music playback), comfortable wear, hardware on/off, standard micro USB charging, vibrating call indicator, quality microphone, it beats all the other headphones I have. Currently $47 on Amazon.
I found the MW600 unusable because of its incomprehensible user interface, tiny controls that are easy to hit by mistake, fragile clip, unreadable display.
I also have a Motorola Sports and a Plantronics 603 which seem to share the same electronics and the same flaw: they sometimes refuse to power on even though fully charged, and sometimes lose their charge even when plugged in. To me that makes them completely useless if I can't count on them being ready when I need them.
Most others, like the Jabra Clipper, would almost be perfect if it weren't for their lousy battery life (5h playback on a good day).
The LG Tone could only be improved by making the earbuds interchangeable.
Yup, The best one. I already ordered one. The white version looks beautiful too.
What headset is this? You don't provide a link

I've had a pair of these for over a year and I love them -- best BT headphones I've ever had.
I use a Rocket fish behind-your-head BT headphones which has a mic. Bought them a year ago for $50 and they show zero signs of wear.
Oh, and they are go over your ear, not IN them...which always gives me a massive headache in under 10 minutes of use. These I can wear for hours on end with no pain
Best headphones ever.

Does your LG HBS-700 work with your Nexus 7?
Mine pairs, but when I try to play spotify, plex, etc., I don't get sound.
I have an og Evo 4G and when I run Jelly Bean based ROMs, the headset works for phone calls, but not for spotify, music, or anything other media.
I'm beginning to wonder if it is a compatibility issue with Jelly Bean.
Otherwise, I'm a big fan of the headset.
Tenqa Remxd Bluetooth Headphones -- Black
Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth Headset -- Black

Cheap enough and good enough to take a chance.
I have the P311 and they are excellent for the price.

Are you taking about the RF-MAB2? If so, ditto. Works perfectly with all my devices, including the N7. I tried a similar Motorola and Sony. It's only a store brand but they are more comfortable and sound better than the others.

Ok, first up let me just start by saying what a fantastic phone this is. The design is beautiful and really needs to be seen to appreciate the build quality. I will certainly be keeping this one and selling on my iPhone 5. The screen is fantastic and the sound quality is amazing.
The only issues I have found so far are to do with the bluetooth connection to my parrot car kit. Now this may just be down to the car kit but when playing music every 20 or so seconds the music stops and stutters then kicks in and carry on, this seems to happen 5 or 6 times then it settles. Also during phone calls over bluetooth the audio quality is pretty bad, almost like the reception is failing but it's not as when I try with the iPhone 5 using the same same sim card it's perfect? I am going to try and downgrade the firmware on my car kit but wandered if anyone else had experienced any similar issues?
Overall though the phone is fantastic, and if you are currently waiting to receive one, rest assured us worth the wait.

One other issue I have noticed also is the wifi download speed seems to drop to an almost stand still at times and restarting the phone resolves the speed issues and it downloads at full speed again.

it is probably just your car kit firmware, but i dont know why you think rolling back would help?
surely an update is more likely to fix - have you checked the manuf. website?

Sounds like the HTC One X+ issues all over again...Really thought they would have solved the issue by now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001204&highlight=bluetooth
Turn the wifi off to remove the BT audio issues in your car - I get the same problem, apparently it will be fixed in the next fw update.
BT Audio metadata is very spontaneous though. This morning it showed the first track I played and wouldn't update it - on the way home it failed to show anything and I couldn't skip tracks with my car controls, I had to use the phone.
It's a known issue according to HTC, turning the wifi off and on again fixes it for me though.

Don't say that! I returned my One X+ because of that issue and have been waiting for a new phone since December. I really hope this is fixed!
Hello
For some reason wifi range is really bad, about 4m (in line of sight even) 5ghz and 2.4 ghz. Sometimes 5Ghz range is better than 2.4Ghz
I've tried different routers (Netgear, Buffalo and TP-Link) and channels but it's about the same. When I stand 2m from my router Netgear WNDR3700 the wifi signal on One fluctuates from full to zero. When watching Youtube it fluctuates like made even when I'm next to the router. Its really random. Is my new Htc One bad?
Version 1.29.401.16
The range is great on mine on 2.4g. Currently 30 feet away from Wifi router with signal traveling through two walls.
You might want to check out Wifi Analyser app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
I've tried Wifi Analyser. Can see the signal fluctuate in real time :/ . I'm the only one with Wifi here. My old SGS3 hadd almost full bars 13m away (40 feet) Wifes Galaxy Note has about 2 bars.
At 15m i have 2 bars...
at 17 1
Just tested, at 5m it disconnects and uses only cell data. Guess I have to return it.. This is my first HTC device, not a good start :crying:
Here are images from Wifi Analyzer
50cm on desk and 5-3m in hand
Mine does have a weak wifi signal as well. Is it a hardware problem?

Why would I do that? All other devices I have/had works fine with it. It's only HTC One that won't. It's a faulty unit in my opinion.

it isnt a hardware problem..thats what i meant
So whats the problem? If it isn't hardware releated? If tested with three different routers and channels and I got the same bad results. All routers tested is N capable and other devices works fine with them. Lots of different laptops, tablets etc..
Edit:
Here are comparisong shots of my old Sgs3, same distance.
FYI
I got a new HTC One now, and Wifi works flawless now. It was a bad unit.
I have an HTC One on Sprint. When I connect via bluetooth audio (which Acura calls "Hands Free Link") to my 2009 Acura TSX, I get constant short pops/cracks in the audio. This has not been the case (or I have simply not noticed it) with phone calls.
My HTC EVO 4G LTE worked quite well when playing music over bluetooth in the car. Same with an iPhone 4 (it actually had the best quality of all three).
My One also works well with other bluetooth devices. It only has trouble with the Acura.
Is my phone defective? Ideally, I'd like to test another HTC One in my car to help determine this. I know 4.2 has a new bluetooth stack, so that gives me some hope, too.
Same thing here with a JBL flip BT speaker.

My galaxy S3 does this with my 2013 tsx... Kinda pisses me off..Let me know if you find a fix
When I got my new MDX 2013 Model 2 weeks ago, the agent did state that not all phones will work completely perfect with their hands free system, only certain certified phones for Acura... Maybe this might be the problem, i don't konw.
My note 5 has awful Bluetooth reception. I need to know if it's just me or if anyone else has this issue.
Thanks
I'mean not sure if your talking about the connection with a car or headset, but I only use a headset and my connection is fine. I use the Plantronics voyager edge.

So you have good reception? Every Bluetooth device I use cuts off when I cover my note with my hand or in my pocket. I have the bluebuds x
Mine was cutting in & out while connected to a bt device and had WiFi on. It stopped doing it though. I was about to take it back and get a new one
Has much better connection than my Nexus 6. Not as good as iPhone though. My iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 were the only phones that didn't cut out on my cars bluetooth and my motorola headsets I had at the time.

Good to know, thanks!
Bluetooth 4.1 works better with wifi. Good luck finding audio devices that use it though. Probably easier to shut off your 2.4ghz and connect just at 5.
Might be a bit late here. I've noticed how bad my Bluetooth connection seems to be from the earbuds AND speaker I got for Christmas. My Gear S2 I noticed on a bit but more passed it off as the watch depending on its WiFi more.
When I was trying the earbuds with my phone on me in bed, it was fine. However, even moving my phone to just past my waist, not even two feet away, the audio started breaking up.
Really lovely thing to find when you didn't know there was a problem after breaking your warranty :/
