Maybe they should have put a wifi radio in with the dongle too to alleviate the wifi problems while streaming bluetooth as well. I ran this same scenario a hand full of times and at best I lost 10mbps at worst I lost 13mbps I'm also within 5ft of my router. Its still comletely fucntional for any streaming media I've used so far as long as I'm at home sitting on my router.
In the first test in the video the music was coming from the internal speaker in the prime the download was 13.21mbps and the upload was 14.00mbps. the second test I turned on bluetooth and it connected to my external speaker download was 3.30mbps and upload was 6.32mbps. For both tests ping was unaffected over all the tests I did the ping was between 54ms and 31ms.

I can't tether the internet from my cell phone to my prime when I'm on 3g and listen to music or stream video with my bluetooth headset on it wont even load. I don't even try anymore and this is a huge issue for me. I wish we could have gotten a solution in the gps dongle that also worked in the dock and wasn't so hideous

Does anyone have a prime that you have Bluetooth turned on and streaming, and you have wifi on and streaming (say Netflix and external speakers) and it works?
I just want to know if SOME primes have Bluetooth and wifi working at the same time.
I have a Prime with working bluetooth and wifi when on together. Last night I paired my Prime to my phone via bluetooth and transfered about 130megs of stuff over to the Prime (the only thing I have with bluetooth). While doing that I was watching a whole bunch of clips on Youtube with no problems - a mix of HD and non-HD videos.
Speedtest when both BT and Wifi on does not show a huge problem for me.
The only issue I have right now is a non-working GPS.
Humm, I just think that most people have not tried and it's a bigger issue. Mine is useless if bluetooth is on the wifi stops dead.
Mine works fine as well. Here is the link to my OP with video of Wifi/BT streaming.

I have this same exact issue. Wifi is fine, even with BT on but GPS is a no pogo go.
If I connect to a BT gps device, turn on the Bluetooth gps program after pairing, my wifi goes straight downhill and almost completely stops, even though wifi signal strength is strong.
I haven't tried other Bluetooth devices.
Mine is also working

I can stream Bt Audio to headphones while playing a file via wifi on a windows share well. However the audio is not in sync, but for me the sync if off even if I turn off the wireless radio.
Mine works together but wifi slows down drastically until I turn off the Bluetooth device.

After connecting my I9300 to Bluetooth speaker (fantastic Logitech bluetooth boombox), any internet radio application randomly lost data (start buffering from 0%), so audio is interrupted for few seconds. Similar situation is with any WiFi audio or video streaming, let say UPnP from my HTPC. Sometimes thing work ok for 2 minutes, but right after that they break few times in a minute.
Probable the problem can’t be resolved because of WiFi and Bluetooth collision. SGS3 probably use same radio HW for WiFi and Bluetooth. Any idea?
Hello!
I'm very close to buying this phone (assuming availability...) but have one major concern: my current LG p880 has a serious issue of WiFi and Bluetooth conflict. This means that I cannot use them at the same time (e.g. stream music and listen through Bluetooth speakers).
My girlfriend's iPhone does this with no problem.
For those who already have the device: did you encounter any such problems?
Thanks!

Thread's a bit old but I'm having the problem he's trying to avoid.
When connected to my Sony SRS-BTX500 bluetooth speaker (is it really aptX capable because my phone says so but couldn't find info about it online) while streaming music over WiFi or surfing the net the music drops out for half a second and then plays again normally every now and then but the more serious problem is that sometimes I can't even surf the net while being connected to bluetooth because it simply isn't able to load the page.
It just happend to me minutes ago on facebook. I was surfing completely normal then decided to listen to music on the bluetooth speaker by streaming music from Spotify over WiFi and when I wanted to continue surfing facebook it couldn't load the next page.
After switching bluetooth off and reloading the page everything worked normal.
After reconnectiong both worked together but the sound droped out every now and then.
I'm on stock Sony firmware and ROM 17.1.A.2.55 bought in Germany.
Kind regards

That's interesting (and annoying). By now I have the phone (bought on eBay Germany) running the same firmware and I have no such problems. I stream music over Wifi, play it with a Bluetooth system and surf the web without delays or breaks in the music.
Maybe Spotify streams in a very high quality that you can reduce?
With my previous phone I partly solved the wifi/BT conflict with an app called Bluetooth Keepalive. It was working quite well. Maybe you could give it a try.
I already lowered the streaming quality of Spotify to normal because with extreme I didn't could think about surfing the net.
As far as I remember the WiFi even dropped out several times on extreme quality.
I just looked in the Playstore and I will sure as hell not pay money for an app which maybe solves a problem which shouldn't even exist in the first place and especially not on a high-end smartphone for 600€!
WiFi too slow when Bluetooth active. Sony Xperia z2
Hello, it has been a while since the last post here. I have a Sony Xperia z2 phone and I realized that the WiFi connection was too slow. I have also an iPad air and a Samsung galaxy 10.1 2014 that are connected to the same router and that were really fast. They were at 10Mbps while the phone was under 1 Mbps and very unstable. The tests I have done were made with ookla speed test. I tried restarting both the router and the phone but the prone was still there, so I tried to change battery settings and WiFi settings with all the possible mix. But the speed didn't went up. So I started killing some connections like NFC, GPS, but nothing changed, so when the moment arrived for testing turning off the Bluetooth connection, everything changed. The speed was over 6Mbps for the first time and after that test all the tests were over 5 Mbps.
Everything showed that the problem was the Bluetooth, but not being so easy to believe, I started one test and while the download test was showing speed over 6 Mbps, I turned on the Bluetooth and instantly the speed went under 1 Mbps.
With this experiment I have demonstrated myself that the problem was the Bluetooth connection.
I would want that this post change the focus of this problem and lead to a solution different than turning off the Bluetooth while using WiFi.
Thanks for your support...
I can confirm that turning Bluetooth on and off during a speed test definitely interferes with the connection. It slows or stops the test when you turn Bluetooth on or off. Interesting!

Hi, I hope this is the right place for this question.
I'm looking for a video streaming app that will work over a tethered connection i.e. one phone tethered to the other, without a separate wifi network or internet connection. The two phones will be the only devices available. One phone will act as the video camera outside in the cold, the other will be for monitoring the video inside in the warm.
I've found that most wifi-enabled apps of any sort won't work in this scenario.
Hi everyone,
I noticed that every time I begin to play music via Bluetooth speakers within 2 mins my wifi internet drops. I remain connected to the Wi-Fi but it shows no internet connectivity. Once I disconnect from the Bluetooth device and restart the wifi on the phone, it comes back to normal and works flawless. My wifi runs on 2.4ghz. I tried changing router channels but there was not much improvement. Is this a fault of the device or is anyone else facing similar issues. If someone can suggest a fix for this it'd be great.
Thanks.
Anyone!!
Hi. I have similar problem. I am using Pebble smartwatch, Mi Band, bluetooth headset, and laso radio in a car, so i have bluetooth always on. Lately i am experiencing massive problems with wifi 2,4 GHz(slow speeds, instability, dropping connection) - 5 GHz is working fine. Yesterday i have read some tips to turn off bluetooth, and EUREKA, wifi 2,4 GHz works fine.... I know that bt, and wifi 2,4 working on similar frequency, but hey, i didn't have those problems with previous Samsungs(S2,S4,N4,S7), so something have to be not ok with my S9+. I've recorded this behaviour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJTPn_GjJs0 . Have you found a solution? I am gathering data for phone service under warranty.
