Bluetooth Capabilities of the HTC Incredible 2

By Gareth Jale


Just like most smart phones, the HTC Incredible 2 is Bluetooth-enabled. Along with products like a screen protector and a case, Bluetooth headsets are among the most popular accessories sold. Beyond that, the average user doesn't really think too much about Bluetooth devices. To them, Bluetooth is nothing more than just a "buzz phrase" that doesn't have too much meaning. Many people think, since all smart phones are Bluetooth enabled, they just think every device is just like the other. But in all reality, no two Bluetooth implementations are exactly alike.

What many people might not knew is that Bluetooth implementation is one of the thing that makes the HTC Incredible 2 stand out from the rest. In the best implementations, the Bluetooth signal is strong and consistent and discovery is fast and accurate. When you turn on a phone like this, discovery is automatic, and you'll have access to a complete list of Bluetooth-enabled devices within range of the smart phone. Stubborn discoveries are no longer an issue, and connections happen as simple as a single tap. Once connected, the connection will persist until you disable it. Drop-outs are rare.

The powerful Bluetooth signal makes working with the device far more convenient. Here's an example: if you want to print out a document from the Web that you've found on your phone, with a weak signal from your Bluetooth connection, you might just have to be next to the printer. But with this phone, you can send the document from downstairs to the home office upstairs without a problem. There are similar benefits when using a phone like this to connect to devices like TVs and Blu-ray players. Many people use their smart phone as a super remote, and with this smart phone, you don't have to worry about angles or distances, within reason.

It also supports advanced Bluetooth profiles, like AD2P. When most of us think Bluetooth headset, we think about talking on the phone while driving or walking. But advancing technology is allowing us to perform much more sophisticated data transmission. With an AD2P-enabled headset, we can actually stream music to it from phone. What's most amazing about this capability is that there is no great loss of quality, and it works just as well as most traditional headphones do. The technology works so well that there are now Bluetooth speakers available, which can pick up the music stream from any Bluetooth device within range and play it.

Of course, this device also boasts a range of features that allow you to connect to your computer to transfer and synchronize data files. All you need is a Bluetooth-enabled PC, Mac or Linux desktop or laptop. Most computers come Bluetooth-enabled these days. But if yours isn't, adding Bluetooth capability is as simple as purchasing a USB Bluetooth dongle. Simply plug it in, and then your phone will recognize your device and connect to it with ease.
