I know the meme format is kinda wrong. It’s also kinda right.

I have a pair of bluetooth sportbuds i connect to my work laptop for when i go in the office, and to my phone when i go for a jog. When I’m in the garage putting my running shoes on and put the earbuds in they never connect to my phone which is in my pocket. They instead connect to the work laptop…in the upstairs den…on the exact opposite side of the house. Every. Goddamn. Time.
I wonder if this has anything to do with how the bandwidth is automatically decreased when taking a call vs when you’re just playing audio. Less bandwidth means a slower but more robust connection or something like that?
I don’t think BT devices do frequency hopping. The audio bandwidth is reduced just because the mic signal is added and has to share the connection. There’s no change on the physical connection.
(Now, it would be great if there was some frequency hopping and your phones could reserve a full FM channel instead of messing with digital compression.)
That decreased bandwidth would still help to maintain a digital connection though, wouldn’t it? There’d be a weaker and slower connection as the devices get further apart, so I was thinking less demand on the connection would keep them from dropping it.
I don’t think it’s the same as what you meant exactly, but I looked it up and Bluetooth does hopping between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz.
After you establish a connection, it doesn’t hop anymore.
For Android, don’t accept the prompt to let the speaker read your contacts and call history. Seems to stop this nonsense on my speakers.
Exhibit one: Aussie wanker yells at tech.
