About your solutions
15) If you have discovered a way to reduce your spazzing, please describe your actions. I have not taken any actions to reduce the spazzing because I do not find the spazzing occurs with higher frequency than other wireless controllers I've used (logitech PS2 wireless controllers, 360 controllers). Currently regarding it as the downside accepted for wireless freedom, until such time as frequency of occurrence is demonstrably worse than other wireless solutions.

I'm going to hold off formally answering for about a week, as I have not had that much playtime with my PS3 (under 10 hours).

I did experience once spaz-out, at my in-laws. I'll be curious to see if it happens at home.

- No. Although, I do think the controller spazzes when I have my cel phone on me and its either ringing or recieving text messages as I'm playing. I think it interferes with the bluetooth frequency and causes my controller to spazz. My 360 controller has never once done this.
