Bluetooth impedes Wifi connection

Sat, 30 Jun 2012 21:42:37 GMT

I kept loosing my home Wifi connection, to some annoyance, having to restart the Wifi everytime to solve the issue. Until I figured out turning off the Bluetooth solves the issue. Anyone experience this? I've got an Xperia Pro.

My phone is connected by Bluetooth to all my appartment's handsets thanks to a Siemens Gigaset. It eliminates the need for a landline and of having to carry my phone or to run to it since I have three handsets across the house now to answer the phone, or to make calls. Quite neet.

Naturally, having the phone in my hands while using the Wifi sort of diminishes the problem.

Yes, these two signals tend to interfere with each other.On my W995, after connecting to my router via WiFi, it will disconnect almost immediately after switching on Bluetooth and if I then switch Bluetooth off, it will reconnect within a few seconds. However, if Bluetooth is switched on first followed by WiFi, it will connect and stay connected.

Ah, thanks for that. I should have to try and see if I get the same result.

Well it works out indeed. I've been listening to a radio stream for about an hour without interruptions. Thanks for the tip!
