Bluetooth connectivity issue on my G8

Bluetooth signal is very choppy when connected and it's hard to even get a connection to my Bluetooth devices. I got the phone used and I'm thinking the Bluetooth module is bad but I don't know where it is.

Hi @tommytom_,

Does the WiFi have the same problem?

Just asking as the BT and the WiFi are in the same IC.

If using WiFi, try using the phone as close as possible to the network router i.e. <10cm, the same with BT to the other BT device and check if it works OK.

If so there may be a problem with the antennas in the phone, loose perhaps

Here's an image from a teardown video that may help, showing one end of the two antennas in the phone.

Wi-Fi seems to work fine, so the BT is on that IC board with the antenna wires ? I can replace that for a few bucks , I just hope it's not an issue with the mother board

@tommytom_

I didn't say that the BT IC was on that board.

The image was only to show where one end of the antennas were connected to.

It may well be that it is at the other end of the antennas.
