Basically if the BT hardware itself was on the right side of my head then my phone had to be in my right pocket or I'd get semi frequent disconnects outside. So not really line-of-sight in visual spectrum terms but I have had so many observations with so many bluetooth headsets and headphones and different phones that I always believed the original article I read a long time ago about sun interference (which, of course, I can't find today).
It could certainly be something else but I most certainly have reproducible issues with using bluetooth outside versus inside my house or even car.
- Someone 10y agoCould be that it's not the sun being the problem, but not having walls. Inside, the radio waves can bounce of the walls, around your body. Outside, they have to go through your body.
- BinaryIdiot 10y agoSeems reasonable and would certainly explain my issues. I wonder if Bluetooth 5 will help that in any way.
- coldtea 10y agoNo, shouldn't be related at all (with the Sun, as I've gotten fine connection in the sun, whether the side etc). Sounds like it's more about some flimsy and/or underpowered BT headsets.
