BT internet connection fails - Treo Forum

hcaley · 04-20-2007, 12:01 PM

I have a 700p I'm using as a bluetooth modem with a Mac laptop. I can connect to the internet over bluetooth, but within a minute or so I will lose the connection. This usually results in needing to reboot the phone and often the laptop as well.

Doesn't seem to matter where I am or what I'm doing. It's a shame; the connection is nice and speedy until it goes down. Anyone else seeing this?

There have been many bluetooth problems with the 700p reported. There is supposed to be an update in May sometime to fix these issues. I suspect that this update will fix the issue for you.

I figured that might be the answer. Thanks!

Yes, I have been using June Fabrics' PDANet over bluetooth and it will stay connected for about 2 to 3 minutes before the software on the PC locks up and my Palm needs to be rebooted. So I am really lookin forward to the update for my Palm Treo 700p.
