IPhone 4 Bluetooth Issues

IPhone 4 doesn't allow reasonable range and other issues with bluetooth headset. Fyi, tried with Apple Bluetooth headset which worked perfectly with IPhone 3G & IPhone 3G-S. Issue, you can have IPhone 4 in shirt or pant pocket and bluetooth will disconnect. Also, you can have IPhone 4 inside car and close the door while standing right outside the door and bluetooth disconnects. This never happened with previous models including IPhone 3G-S with IOS 4 installed.

Other bluetooth issues: as others reported - muffled sound quality to person your talking to. Time delays and disconnects with bluetooth Uconnect. IPhone 4 won't let you change between your car audio phone feature back to IPhone 4 without freezing.

I too have had annoying problems with bluetooth on my iphone 4. My 3gs was flawless. Never a problem with the device connecting or clarity.

With iphone 4 my Bose headset often won't connect when I turn it on. I have ot go into the iphone for settngs, turn bluetooth OFF, wait, then turn it back on, then click the devide to get it to connect. Such a pain.

I also have had regular complaints of sounding muffled, etc.

PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS!
