    I bought a Bluetooth speaker for better sound. But movies stream so slowly they are unwatchable. Do I have to back to wired earphones?

    By the way, if you have a blue tooth speaker, I suggest using it plugged into the earphone jack. Bluetooth eats battery like crazy and slows processing down to a crawl.

    I transferred some files via BT once, and I know what you're saying. It took forever.:( Kinda reminded me of the old Dial-Up Internet days.:eek:

    I suppose because they're wireless and if you're just listening to music or chatting all's good.
