Hi, Has anyone experienced poor Bluetooth range performance on an Ipaq 3970. Mine only has a range of 6 inches. I'm connecting to an XP pc with a Belkin F8T001 USB Dongle. The thing is my phone connects to the PC from the next room o.k. My Ipaq works perfectly (syncs and everything) but only at 6 inch range.



I've tried:-

1) Rom 2.00/2.10

2) 3 different Belkin PC drivers. (one in the box, latest from the website, and one they withdrew a few weeks back for some reason)

3) Widcomm BTW CE 1.3.1 driver (Same as 5450 apparently)

Hello GF



I have played around on a walk with a friend holding my emtacBT while I walked out of range with the Ipaq.



The combination (on full power BT output was good for over ninety meters!

Wow 90m is a hell of a way. You should be able to get 10m. If the two devices are connected you could stretch that to at least 30m depending on the transmitting power of the dongle.



Best advice is to return it and get a replacement.
