OTA9 was very important to me as it promised to bring an end to the 
bluetooth issues which created the one and only showstopper bug on my 
phone. For me the ability to have handsfree in the car is crucial and I 
have had to physically hard wire a jack lead behind my dashboard as the 
bluetooth quite frankly sucks.

This evening I took the new bluetooth stack for a spin for the first 
time, it did not go well. Firstly connecting was fine, it was already 
paired and just hooked up as soon as I turned the bluetooth on. I then 
made a call and for the first time ever the car stereo switched to the 
bluetooth calls channel without my having to intervene, absolutely 
wonderful. Unfortunately the person I was calling couldn't hear me. I 
don't know if I could hear them to be honest but I don't think so.

Under the old stack it would also disconnect of its own accord whenever 
it felt like it. I didn't test this as there is little point if the 
audio is being routed to god only knows where! Also once disconnected 
the audio remains absent until the phone is rebooted. I'm on the BQ 4.5, 
anybody else still experiencing this?
