W500 Bluetooth Issue

namor1

Hi everyone. I have my w500 installed with windows 8 pro and have some Bluetooth problems with playback on  2 different bluetooth portable speakers. The sound breaks up now and then  on both and the speakers are new

 

I installed the win 8 Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth suite and also there's a win 8.1 Atheros Bluetooth suite for this particular Qualcomm wifi and bluetooth combo card which I  Installed and it also has some soud cracking. The 5 bars showing signal strength for either speaker shows from 3 to 4 bars and it fluctuates. Speakers were placed near and far to a distance of 15 feet plus

 

I took part the tablet and cleaned the Atheros half mini PCI-E card with contact spray cleaner, also sprayed and dried the card itself and electrical taped the card to its small circuit board, I also sprayed the ribbon that attaches this card to the motherboard on its 2 ends and re-soldered the speaker wire contacts which are on the motherboard

 

I get better bluetooth reception also when the my Bluetooth mouse I'm using is turned off

 

anybody else getting Bluetooth transmission glitching and any remedies

 

thanks

I edited the subject to be inline with your issue.

 

A couple suggestions I can provide would be to reload the Acer default image if you've upgraded to Win 8 Pro retail to ensure that you're running the Acer qualified system and drivers.

 

Maybe others can share their experience if they're running into this issues as well?
