Hi,

I am using my K700i with FMA (floAt's Mobile Agent), Christersson's PcControl and the remote control software that came with the phone to control my PC.

I also use a Wireless AV Sender and Reciever to send my PC desktop to a Television in another room.

The problem is that both Bluetooth and the Wireless AV Sender use the 2.4GHz band. I can set my sender to 2.411, 2.4333 or 2.4502. Bluetooth (as far as I know) hops all over the 2.4 band and thus causes inference with the sender.

I would like to be able to watch things that are on my PC (i.e. DivX stuff) whilst in my living room yet still be able to control my PC from my phone without the interference.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Tony.

Welcome to esato!

What are the effects of interference? This message was posted from a K500

Blutooth 1.2 is supposed to be "nicer" to other senders on the same frequency band. Perhaps you could try to separate the antenna of the AV equip with some alu-foil?

When the phone has a serial com port connection running with my pc, the interference i get is just horizontal lines that run up and down the screen and it also makes the audio buzz sparatically (static).

When i instantiate a connection from my phone using the remote control tool, it will greatly interfere causing heaps of static to both audio and video until the connection is established, after which it will interfere much like above.

Wah?

this is the actual product.

How would I seperate?

I found a website detailing a uni project that made some crazy DIY Wifi antennas and I attempted my own with a big metal bowl attached to an old lamp and I placed the receiver at what I think is the focal point of the bowl. No real change. Plus the website details how to make an antenna that is used specically to increase range.

I believe that there is no way that i can avoid this interference.

@Toe-Knee: Nice experiment!
and nice link too. It makes me wanna do some experiments too

You said that you tried the bowl at the AV receiver. Note that if a BT transceiver is somewhere in the same direction as the AV transmitter you'll end up amplifying the BT signals just as much as the AV signal

If possible you can try to move the BT transceiver.
