Hi guys,
So I just picked up my Galaxy S3 on an Optus contract. I noticed if I am in a call with my Bluetooth headset while my wifi is on and my wifi will constantly disconnect. It wont disconnect if I am not in a call but as soon as i go into a call with the Bluetooth my wifi goes crazy.
Does anyone else have these issues?
Edit: I am on the latest software update and I have tried turning off the power saving mode and resetting the phone. None of which has worked.
Does anyone have any advice?

I had similar Wi-Fi issue with my brand new galaxy s3. A factory reset fixed it.

This has not fixed it for me. I have even flashed custom roms and still having the same issue. I am not back on my stock rom and thinking about returning for warranty.
Yeah I have the same issue, bluetooth can be on and not connected with no problem, but once connected to something the the wifi will drop randomly.
There seems to be no pattern sometimes it will drop in a few seconds to 30mins very random.
Old topic, but I've found that if Bluetooth is working hard then the wi-fi throughput drops to almost nothing and also keeps droppping the connection.
I found this when streaming with Apt-X from online services such as Spotify, Rdio and Napster (I've tried them all). I've also streamed from my NAS over wi-fi.
To confirm this I've run the SpeedTest app when streaming Apt-X and when not. With no streaming I get excellent speeds, when streaming (from an mp3 stored on the phone) the test either fails due to a failed connection or it hobbles along and gives very poor results.
I suspect the same aerial is being used for both wi-fi and Bluetooth.
I'm using 2.4GHz wi-fi; it's possible that 5GHz wi-fi may not have this issue.

Guys:
With the previous ROM that HTC pulled from their website, I didn't have these problems and now with the new ROM the problems have reappeared again.
The issue is when I am connected via bluetooth to my PC using Internet Sharing, every so often the Mogul will drop the network connection. It's really annoying. I noticed also that the bluetooth will turn itself off when this happens.
If I stream music or something where there is a continuous data stream, it won't disconnect, but if I am just surfing from page to page, it will drop the connection and I always have to reconnect.
Is it something I am doing wrong, or is this a bluetooth issue? I am connecting at 3Mbps using Bluetooth 2.0.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Bump!
Any ideas folks? I went out and bought another bluetooth usb adapter and installed it properly and I am still getting the same problem.
Can anyone help me?
My DSL modem went out yesterday and I have experienced this problem too. I'm running Vista on a Dell Latitude D830 with BT 2.0. After about 10 minutes, the BT setting on the Mogul is actually being disabled and I have to go back through Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth and re-enable it.
Regards,
Tom
Just a little clarification, the disconnections and the Bluetooth icon turns off in the Connection Manager usually mean that the stack has crashed. When you Enable the functionality again you are starting the Bluetooth stack. Same problem was in the 2.16.651.0 firmware.
Yesterday afternoon I bought a galaxy note to replace my samsung infuse but I am having a huge problem. I use my phone to stream music from my data plan and wifi to several bluetooth receivers and speakers in my home and car. My Infuse and several past and present devices I own do this flawlessly. For some reason the galaxy note will not. It will pair and connect with bluetooth devices and play for about 20 seconds then the sound disappears and the phone shows that it is still connected. this happens the same with all of my bluetooth devices. If the music is stored on my phone it will stream just fine. Only internet streaming is affected using apps like iheartradio, tunein radio, winamp, ect. Over wifi and 4g. so far I have tried upgrading to ICS, unpairing,repairing, factory reseting, and downgrading back to Gingerbread. None of this helped. Does anyone have any ideas? All help is appreciated.
Can anyone stream internet radio over wifi to bluetooth on there galaxy note? I would really like to get conformation on this.
Thanks
I can just fine. I use Pandora. I'm on cm9 lastest release

I'm not sure what's wrong but I've been having bluetooth connectivity issue last few days. I paired the Z Ultra with Sony Smartwatch and I noticed that the Smartwatch would loose connectivity every once in a while, even though the phone is in my pants pocket or just 30cm away from.
I did all the usual troubleshooting, restarting both devices and re-pair it.
Anybody experiencing similar issue?
I have actually experienced a problem with the bluetooth when pairing to my Jabra headset. I have only had the phone for a 2 days and just recently updated to build number 14.1.b.0.471. Since then, i havent tested out the bluetooth yet. However, i have seen some bug fixes.
Have you updated to the latest firmware yet?

Yes, the phone is up to date.
I'm having Bluetooth issues with various headsets and this phone. Some of them disconnect, some hang, some randomly will have one way voice in the middle of the call.
Running the latest firmware. Something is up with the BT drivers on this phone.

i had similar issues with bluetooth and linking to my car. at first it worked fine, but if i would change input on car stereo and come back, to the bluetooth, the mb bluetooth would auto start google play music. the solution for me was to remove all device from bluetooth option from phone and car and it worked perfectly.
That sounds worrying cos I ordered the SBH52
Hope they fixed this. Haven't tested my blue tooth yet cos I don't have a BT device.

The thing is, I only paired one bluetooth device to the phone. As mentioned above, I unpaired, restart and re-pair the Smartwatch again and the issue persist.
I find it weird because it worked fine when I first paired the Smartwatch with the phone. The problem only occurred recently
I've had nothing but trouble using SBH50 (same with both firmwares 1.0.A.4.0 and 1.1.A.0.7) with Z Ultra (14.1.B.0.475). First time connection (NFC) went smoothly. Followed by lots of trouble within minutes. Frequent lost connections (even when they were just a few inches apart) followed by requests for pairing. Random loss of media or phone audio without any warning sign.
Connection was stable only after uninstalling the SBH50 android application (and all the smart extras), disabling Sony Smart Connector and execution of manual pairing. No more event reminders, but at least it is now usable for music and phone calls. Hopefully Sony will update firmware/software to address the connectivity problems.
[Edited 30 August 2013: Happy to report that the connectivity problems were resolved in firmware 14.1.B.1.510]
how about me, i can't event send a file from my laptop to my device?

NFC can't recieved item

Everything runs smooth, and I'm still at. 510.

broken bluetooth
hi guys, ive been looking for a fix to my bluetooth. i just bought SW2 but i still unable to use it because apparently the bluetooth on my phone could not detect the watch. I have tried reset, fixing it via companion apps in windows but problems still persist. i have tried using my galaxy with SW2 and no problem there. basically it was my bluetooth inside the ZU that are causing all the problems. Im on the latest build .257 and are not rooted. Bootloader is locked and everything else is stock. When i tried to connect via the 1-touch NFC there's dialogue showing up on my phone that the watch is connected but nothing happen afterwards. the SW2 is still in its pairing mode and there are no instruction to ask me for download or anything as shown by Sony in their youtube channel. Im growing frustrated with this phone. Having to live without root and now wasted $200 on a watcg that i cant even use. argghhhhhhhh....any help is much appreciated guys!
I have the same problem with the Sony SmartWatch 2 when I talk in my BT headset the phone keeps losing connection with my watch.
edit: system restore did the trick
Im also facing unresolved issue with my xperia zultra and bluetooth connectivit.
My phone is unable to recognize any bluetooth hardwares and its becoming quite annoyiing.
Has there been any remedy to this issue?
Thanks
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 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.
