Bluetooth Interfering with GPRS on my Treo 650
Published on 8 Oct 2005 · Filed in Rant · 152 words (estimated 1 minutes to read)Some time ago, I noticed while using my Treo 650 that I could not perform a HotSync operation via Bluetooth while I had a GPRS connection active. As if that wasn’t enough, I’ve discovered what appears to be a further incompatibility between these two wireless technologies.
It appears as if anytime I use Bluetooth on the Treo 650 for anything other than communicating with my wireless headset (a Motorola HS850), I am unable to establish a GPRS connection. I get an error (the exact text varies) whenever I try to establish the GPRS connection.
I’ve reviewed all the various settings on the Treo, but I don’t see anything that needs to be changed to fix this. This is terribly irritating, since I’d really like to be able to wirelessly HotSync my Treo to my PowerBook while I am away from the office without having to give up my data access via GPRS.
