BlackBerry Torch 2 9860 Bluetooth issues
Anyone got one of these new BlackBerry devices yet.. never really had a problem with Blackberry in BMW before, but this one doesn't want to play ball. It connects then 5 minutes later drops and repeats over and over.. mid call it drops to the handset until it reconnects.. totally unusable.
I called BMW to ask if there were any updates, and typically the unknowing people at BMW told me reliably that BMW do not issue any software updates or changes for Bluetooth (even though the option on their site is there). Stupid woman. The download still appears to be the first BIN file, and the 9860 model isn't showing on there. BMW said on the phone they only support 9800 at this time. |

Thanks!
Any chance you can let me know what firmware you have on your 9850/60? My 9800 worked fine no problem.. I suspect its the firmware on the phone then.. |

Matt, might not be your issue, but turn off wi-fi & gps, or at least wi-fi. I've found with some bb devices that wi-fi messes with the bluetooth connection. Worth a shot given it only takes a second or two to test.

My build is Verizon 7.0.0.374. You might try Crackberry forums for 9860/50 to see what the latest update is for 9860.
