Well, wifi is not Bluetooth.
Of course not … I was giving an analogy.
I can’t have two Bluetooth speakers connected to my Samsung smart TV at the same time.
We’re talking about iOS …
Oh and yes you can. I too have a Samsung smart tv (not sure which model, not home right now) - and we do this all the time - we have a BT soundbar paired for the main audio - AND pair it with my minirites. (via oitcon ON)
I can’t have the iPhone audio to both a connected Bluetooth speaker and the OPN at the same time. The Connected Bluetooth speaker overrides the OPN and plays the sound and nothing is heard through the OPN.
Sure. I guess. This is just fine with me - but there is no reason why you wouldn’t or shouldn’t
I don’t have a Bluetooth keyboard connected to my iPhone but I don’t have expectations that it’ll work.
For the love of G*d … why not?
Of course it works, and should work… using a keyboard with an iphone or ipad.
Ever since the very FIRST ipad I have listened to music via bluetooth (speakers) while working on the ipad with a bluetooth keyboard. (also do this on android devices)
And there are many other Bluetooth connections that an ipad or iphone user would want (and should expect) to run simultaneously. I respect that you have no need for it - but this does not change the fact that it should work. (and they do work … it’s they oticon ON app that is probably the cultprit).
I find that regarding Bluetooth on the iPhone or my Samsung smart TV, I shouldn’t be too fancy with multiple Bluetooth connections or things don’t work well.
Well that is your personal preference … your personal preferences mean that you don’t care if there are bugs or if other bT devices don’t work properly. I, and a lot of other people DO care that it works properly.
For instance - while working remotely on my ipad - where wifi is not available, I connect to someone’s “hotspot phone” via bluetooth, while using my bluetooth keyboard, using bluetooth for audio. If I was also giving a presentation, then I would also use my bluetooth remote control to change the slides etc … (so that’s 4 devices simultaneously - which DOES work just fine - except of course for the power drain)
I don’t know who is at fault or what is supposed to work, but with this low expectation about multiple Bluetooth connections, not having it is not a deal breaker for me.
Yes you do have low expectations for BT … and this is fine …My expectations are not for any kind of extraordinary features of performance … just that the functionality that exists - works as expected.
And from scanning and searching boards like this, and the web, I have thousands - if not millions - who share this reasonable expectation.
