[Q] Bluetooth speaker break internet radio - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Here is my WiFi speeds with bluetooth off and then on

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

WiFi disconnecting when using bluetooth headset

Seeking solution to the problem described shortly thereafter:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III - GT I9300 - STOCK ZTO-4.1.1 without root.
I also have a headset bluetooth, Nokia BH-503 model.
When I listen to music via streaming (Rdio for example), and while connected via WiFi with the headset, the WiFi connection starts to disconnect and reconnect randomly. This only happens when I use my bluetooth headset.
I did the full wipe of the phone, I changed the channel of WiFi, static IP, have disabled the WiFi Power Save Mode (via * # 0011 #) and nothing of the problem being solved. Has anyone experienced this or have a solution to this problem?
Thank you.
Have experienced this problem with Sony MW-1. Changing any wifi or bluetooth-related settings did not fix anything.
I have the same problem with a Nokia MD-310 bluetooth receiver. From what I can determine it is a problem with Galaxy s3 and APT-X bluetooth audio. My SGS3 works fine with older A2DP bluetooth devices but as soon as connected to the MD-310 (apt-x) the wifi becomes flakey and eventually drops completely.
Did you have any luck with a solution for this?
I tried the same things as you, wifi channels, factory reset, but no improvement.
Have not had a problem with Samsung HS3000, use it all the time.
I've done some further digging and I believe it is related to WiFi and Bluetooth congestion through the sgs3 radio on the 2.4 GHz frequency.
+ At home I only have a single band WiFi AP (2.4 GHz) and can't maintain AptX Bluetooth streaming and WiFi connection. Audio skips until WiFi drops.
+ At work I have dual band WiFi. When connected on 5 Ghz I can stream AptX and maintain both connections well. Switch the AP to 2.4 Ghz, reconnect, and the audio starts skipping and soon after the WiFi drops.
Same behavior with two i9300s.
Regular A2DP Bluetooth works fine regardless, so it must just be the added bandwidth requirements of AptX that bring the radio to its knees.
I'm going to buy a dual band router for home and see how I go...
I know this is for 6 years ago,
I had this problem but that is solved now and i am going to say how, maybe someone have this problem right now.
I have samsung galaxy s5 and when i connected bluetooth headest and wifi be dissconnect
Now for solveing this problem:
First go to settings and then appliction manager
And show system apps
Then you must find bluetooth app and click that
Then you must click on "force stop" and then go to storage, now you must first clear cache and then clear data and you must restart an end
Now your problem probably is sloved

[Q] Bluetooth & WiFi work well together?

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!

Nope. Ive been streaming music via wi-fi and playing it through bluetooth headset with no issues.
Also I use PS3 controller with wif-fi on and no problems.
Great news. 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!

Chromecast disconnecting bluetooth audio

I have started having this issue where, when Bluetooth headphones are connected for call and media audio, and my device interacts in some way with the Chromecast integration, the media connection disconnects, and any currently playing media audio starts blaring from the speakers. I'm a heavy bluetooth user, so this is a huge annoyance and occasionally embarrassing.
Two situations where this consistently happens:
- I connect to my home wifi network when the TV connected to the Chromecast is on.
- I play a YouTube video in the browser (which has poor Chromecast integration as is).
I've noticed other scattered posts talking about Bluetooth switching off or switching profiles due to Chromecast. Anyone else having Bluetooth issues due to having a Chromecast?
My device: Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3, stock, rooted with Xposed.

Wi-Fi internet drops when connected to Bluetooth speakers

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.
