Can't use via WiFi when streaming to Bluetooth Speaker - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 webpage.
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 was on stock Sony firmware and ROM 17.1.A.2.55 bought in Germany.
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 already downloaded the files to have the locally but even then I'm having the same problem.
Furthermore I also upgraded to the .69 firmware and RomAmur 2.0 ROM and it didn't help.
When switching off WiFi and turning mobile data on everthing works completely flawless but this can't be it.
Additionally I configured my AP from greenfield mode WiFi n only back to b/g mixed and mixed mode but the problem still isn't solved this way.
quite frustrating the whole thing
Kind regards

MW600 connection problems

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago, MW600 was working as expected. But at the moment, I've got connection problems. Is anyone experiencing anything similar, or do you have any tips?
I have tried restarting both the phone and the MW. The radio function works perfectly. I have tried renaming my phone.
Here's what I'm doing:
* Turn on MW
* Turn on bluetooth on phone
* Search for units -> pair the two units using code 0000 (starting from scratch, just in case)
* Phone states that MW is connected to phone and media sound
* If mediascape is playing, I hear ~1 second of media sound
* After 1-3 seconds, MW makes a sound (5 descending tones) -> the phone briefly states that MW is connected to media sound only -> the phone goes back to stating that the two units are paired (no connection)
What do you think?
Mine doesn't do that, so it's quite odd.. Do a full reset of the MW600 (manual here: turn off, press and hold down power until pairing indication appears, press power and call buttons simultaneously until headset turns off), delete it form the phone and try again. There's no reason for it to do that.
I found the battery life to be a bit short....10 minutes of streaming music and it shut off, all this after overnight charging.....I have repeat this 'issue' Friday night, Saturday and Sunday only to have MW600 dead at the office now
My runs 12-15 hours! Without any Problems.
Same, I can use mine for at least 4 days (about one and a half hours a day) before it needs recharging - are you using the right charger?

You press the buttons on the MW600 itself, not on the phone. Read the manual that I linked to, it's all in there.
hmm anyone else have problem with the ringtone playing thru the mw600? when the phone rings. i can hear it ring on the bt headset. but it's like play a bit.. then i hear a beep.. then it plays a bit more.. and beep it's like intermittent
The beep means, that the headset is changing from the mediamode to the telephonemode.
Update... The problem above came back. If seems related to using bluetooth and wifi simultaneously. Whenever I'm using BT and enable wifi, BT gets a lot of problems and usually shuts down. Does this happen to anyone else?
Also, in the past I could use the buttons on the headset to change songs etc. That doesn't work anymore, even after resetting the headset etc. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Update... Problem keeps coming back. My supplier suggested that BT and wifi might interfere. I'd be very surprised if a "smartphone" cannot play music over bluetooth and surf using wifi at the same time. My supplier promised to check it out and get back to me... That was ~2 weeks ago.
Is ANYONE else experiencing the same problem? Can you listen to music over BT, then enable wifi, connect to a network, and keep listening to music over BT?

I have wifi on 24h/day and most of the time i don't have any problems but sometime they get disconnected and i have to turn off/on BT and everything runs fine after.
I will have to try without wifi
Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (WiFi) both uses the same frequency space (~2.5 GHz)
Most of the times Bluetooth should be smart enough to adjust the frequency to co-exist with WiFi devices.
If your area are crowded with other Bluetooth devices and WiFi access-points, the Bluetooth set might having trouble settle on one quiet frequency, and might just sit there trying to switch frequency all the time, never finding a good frequency to settle on.
To help those poor Bluetooth devices along the way, try to change the WiFi access-points channels to create a free channel where the Bluetooth devices can settle on.
Also check if your WiFi access-points have a "Co-exist with Bluetooth" option, and enable it. It will however reduce the frequency-width and therefore the bandwidth slightly on the WiFi, but Bluetooth devices should work with less interruptions.
Connection problem with s60
Hello!
I have an MW600 as well - using with an s60 symbian nokia (6650 fold).
It works corectly when using in bt mode and listening music from the phone, but it alwways lost connection when turm the handsfree to radio. When listening radio, zthere is no connection, no way to get the calls or answer.
Do somebady have the same problem or somebody know how to solve it?
I did reset on mw600 and paired again, but i have the same problem.
á
i haven't had any problems with my MW. i always stream music from my pc via wifi to my X10, then to my MW via BT, witch is connected to a Reciver for party.
have you tryed restarting your MW after pairing.
My problem with this headset is that it doesn't:
1) caller name not displayed on incoming calls
2) Music/Mp3 tags not displayed on lcd (using Poweramp)
3) why does the phones itself rings not the headset just some beeps. Embarrassing when phone rings and then answer on headset.
Resetted but not solved any problems.
Wildfire running Wildpuzzle 0.8 with kernel 4.1 overclocked
Ok I m using mw600 stereo bluetooth headset with CM 6.1.3 V4.4 rom for 2 days now. The pairing is easy but the issues that I am facing are;
* phone has crashed/rebooted couple of times while pairing/ unpairing.
* besides first fact, it pairs without any problems and very easily.
* I have used it with mixzing and doubletwist media players. In both cases the music lags and sometimes the lag/pause is about 2-3 seconds long.
* incoming call shows phone number only, no contact name.
* voice dialing works.
* when I m listening to music or not listening to music on incoming call the headset converts to phone mode fine but after the call is finished, the headset doesnt reverts back to media mode that is, the music doesn't plays again and I tried connecting and disconnecting again but only way to make it work again is restart the headset.
* battery is so far ok for the headset. Infact I runned out of my phone battery while I was trapped in underground and listening to music.lol
* even the headset is connected, if I play youtube video, the sound comes from the phone speaker. In order for it to come from headset I have to play some music from using my headset controls and then play the video and then pause the track. This also happens with music app aswell sometimes. Like the headset is connected and if I play the song using my phone, it will play through phone speaker and I have to pause it and play it using my headset controls in order to listen through my headset.
So far its oki but its annoying the laggy music thing. It only occours in music playback, I spoke to my mate on phone for couple of hours using this headset and both ends could listen loud and clear.
i also paired it with my inspiron duo tablet and its working flawlessly....so anyone have any work around of the above mentioned problems? anyone facing the same problems? is it because i am using custom ROM? i am ok with the headset not showing song tags and stuff but music being laggy is not acceptable...because thats what i bought it for!
Any help would be much appreciated?
thanks

[Q] Audio Stutter when in lockscreen - wifi connection disconnection

Hi,
I've search the forum for a problem similar to mine but don't find anything that matches quite right.
When I listen to tracks (headset) and keep the phone on, there is no problem. If I put the phone in my pocket then when the lockscreen activates I start to hear stuttering. It does not matter what audio app I'm using, it can be the stock player, or my podcast player - of which I've tried a few -all with the same problem.
After some further testing I came to the realisation that this issue is not only related to lockscreen, its related to wifi as well. When I'm traveling on the London underground which is now becoming wifi enabled, everytime I enter/leave a station the audio playback starts to stutter. If I push the power button to reactivate the screen it starts playing perfectly again. The stuttering only occurs when screen is locked or device is sleeping or whatever we call the mode when it turns off the screen.
When I leave the house while listening to music, I get exactly the same problem, as soon as I get out of range of my wifi connection it starts stuttering. Once again reactivating the screen immediatley fixes the issue.
When I turn wifi off during my travel there is a noticible improvemenet to the amount of stuttering I get, but not always completely gone, which leads me to believe it might be related to any connection / disconnection including 3g. Or maybe that the wifi issue is incidental rather than causal.
The sound resumes normal playback after anything up to 10 secs of stuttering. It really makes listening to music or podcasts while traveling to/from work quite irritating.
I had this issue with 2 different builds - the original stock build from T-Mobile - and is still the case after using Odin to upgrade (downloaded from here) to
baseband: I9300XXDLID
Kernel: 3.0.31-368423
Build: JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ4
Phone is not rooted.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions of fixes for me. Would really like to listen to tracks without having to keep my phone in my hand and draining my battery unnecessarily.
Thx for any help....

Bluetooth stereo headsets and awesome dissconects!

While my watch is a calisto 100, Im going to assume for the sake of assuming things that for the most part, all of these watches have this quirk.
I got the watch a few days ago just to see if It could replace my gear. And it sorta did. I also wanted to toss some music on it/ spotify for jogging/etc.
First Thing i noticed was my bluetooth headset would connect and then promptly disconnect. I noticed if i turned off phone audio and only enabled media audio, it would last a bit longer... random...sometimes a whole song..sometimes 10 seconds....etc.
To troubleshoot I started out knowing that if phone audio was unchecked i could at least connect and listen for a few seconds or minutes.
So I started there, wifi off/data on/ bluetooth on. still would randomly disconnect..I then wrote a little app to grab the bluetooth wakelock to see if that was what the deal was...No dice..it stays awake in sleep mode. I then put the watch in sports mode to see if there was any difference..keeping the hardware awake... No dice..same thing....So then I disabled the data connection and low and behold ..the headset stays connected.
as soon as i enable data...the disconnects randomly happen.. Im assuming again that the fact i can go 10 minutes or 30 seconds or 15 minutes and 10 seconds...or whatever random amount has something to do with the radio transmitting and receiving.
Anyone have a second to duplicate anything ive done here....
The other variable is that I am running on tmoble, so no 3g.. good old edge...I have not gotten desperate enough yet to toss in an att simcard to see of radio on in 3g mode with bluetooth works well ..so thats another variable here.
I have not the faintest idea why phone audio crashes the bluetooth driver..but it does..and requires a reboot

Excellent troubleshooting. What batch/firmware do you have? I don't use sim/data on this so I'm couldn't replicate your observation just yet.
However, days after I got this, I tried bluetooth connection on 2 different BT speakers (Monster and Supertooth) --no disconnects even on screen off. There was a millisecond gap when screen turned off but that's it, music just kept on playing. Maybe the latest firmware already have some BT fixes. Dunno but glad BT music streaming works for me. I have yet to try it on my Backbeat Go2 BT headset.
I have 4th batch 1/8 2100
Kernel: 3.4.5
Firmware: Omate_Truesmart_20140513.103530_V2.0

Bluetooth streaming Audio - car stereo

Hi all
Does anyone have any issues streaming audio to their car. I can connect my Mate 10 Pro no problem and take calls, however I can't seem to be able to stream music - using Amazon Music.
I have had a look in developer options and everything is set as default - ie i've not changed them.
Any ideas?
TIA
I can, I'm using a Pioneer AVH head-unit if that matters.
Spotify and the stock Music player plays fine, however sometimes it pauses for about .5 seconds (like it does that every 5-10 songs).
I'm using the BMW OEM headunit. One thing i have noticed is that if oyu go into the options of the paired device, you have Phone, Media and Contacts. The Phone and Contacts are on, no problem, but the media switches on and off as though its trying to connect but fails. Don't know if its the phone or the BMW unit......didn't have any issues with my Nexus 6P though

Yeah, that happened to mine.
Was trying to initiate a call from the HU, but it's not working since the phone switch was turned off automagically.
I re-paired it and it was fine after that. Try to unpair the pair again.

I have the same problem with mate 10 pro and Toyota yaris. The phone it fine but the music don't play. Don't work anythings...
I try many time to pair the phone with our succes
My Mate 10 Pro streams fine on Mazda MZD. Sometimes it doesnt show the track/album information. After switching BT of/on its repaired.
Another problem is that the phone always starts the original music app (which is nice but not enough configurable).
I use Poweramp as default player and have to start it manually after killing huawei music.

Had the same issue with audi mmi 3g+ System but restarting the phone resolved it - media connected by itself. I didnt do no unpairing. Same paired device which failed to stream spotify (media kept switching to off when tried to manually set it on) started streaming with no issues after rebooting the phone.
Funny thing is that sometimes bt media reconnects fail when switching car off for couple minutes,like for example you have everything going fine and you stop at the gas station bt media wont reconnect although you left the bt running while away for 5min with contacts and phone connecting fine, but I found a workaround for that stuff - with car swtiched off simply toggle bt off on and it will connect fine after you come back and start your car. This hasnt hapenned on the latest firmware though,but nonetheless I shared my finding since the toggle thing is still a better solution than restarting the phone everytime media connect fails.

On my mate 10 it hapenned only on the first run (bt stream to car stereo). After I started playing Spotify and closed default Music app it always auto starts Spotify when I reconnect to car stereo through bt (Spotify is never closed on my phone but car connect to Spotify no matter if its on play or pause - if its on play music continues on car stereo if its on pause car stereo leaves it on pause but in that situation audio ID loads only when I hit Play on the phone).
Hey everyone, I'm not having any connectivity issues with bluetooth but what I have noticed is the bluetooth audio seems "lower" in comparison to how my Mi Max sounds in my car. Any remedy or solution for that or am I stuck with the low-ish audio I'm getting from the device in the car for the moment?
Hi
I am using to connect to Camry (asia) 2017.... The song plays and can select next track...however, this is the problem that I encounter.
1) the song name does not update when I select the next song... it is always stuck in the first song. ?
2) the volume always go to minimal on my M10. when I switched to bluetooth connect...... ... This does not happen on my Huawei P8, in which when I switch between radio and bluetooth, the phone always remain the same volume scale.
3) I have select the APPmenu but this is always failed when I pair with Mate10...
I have tried to pair in many ways : car to phone, phone to car but does not work for item 1.
Not sure if Mate 10 has issue on other bluetooth devices in other car model. ?
Thank in advance.
I driving Mazda car, and huawei really got a big issue, especially Bluetooth, my previous phone Sony Z2 works fine without any issues while the huawei mate 10 I just changed just had problems just like u guys, for now what I always do is to restart phone every day 1 time, and it works fine for me, but sometimes it have some laggy issue when I was pairing with my headphone, and the Bluetooth signal tbh, weak. Well that's the only solution I can provide to u guys tho
Had the same problem with my mate 10. Head unit is alpine ut-72bt . On the head unit the symbols for network and battery were there but on the display was shown NO UNIT. The music from the phone was not getting thru. I spent 1h pairing repairing , firmware update , reset. Nothing really worked. After I restarted the phone everything begin to work accordingly. Maybe will help somebody.

Same for me when playing music on my car head unit, using any music app. I mostly use Spotify. This car doesn't have this issue with any other handsets.
Same problem for me since last update
Did b142 fix these issues for anyone?
I was having similar issue - couldn't listen to Google Play Music in my Bluetooth headphones, phone and contacts are on, but media won't enable. Got it working by starting the preinstalled music app and running a song in it. After that works fine.

M5 Bluetooth Headphones connectivity pause / resume problems anyone?

I currently have a Sony Z3C tablet I use with my Bose QC35 to watch Netflix and other videos on my daily commute.
I need to pause and resume playback at several points of the journey when I change platforms etc.
Currently this works flawlessly with the Z3C + QC35 - I just close the lid of the cover and the playback pauses. I then open the lid and resume playback and the BT connection is fine - playback continues with audio perfectly.
A few days ago I got the M5 8.4 Wifi model and tried using it to watch Netflix during the commute.
Initially playback and audio is fine, but after I pause and resume, there is no audio in the headphones - the M5 claims to be connected and the QC35 has not reported a connection loss...But no sound.
If I try disconnecting and reconnecting the BT connection on the tablet - the audio does not always resume. It seems the only sure way is to switch the QC35 off and on allow them to reconnect.
Can anyone advise on how to fix the problem above? Otherwise the M5 may have to go back - I dont want to be fiddling with connections each time and pause and resume on my commute....
Thanks in advance for any tips..
UPDATE: I disabled the SmartCover option in settings and this morning I manually turned the screen off and on each time to pause and resume and (so far) the audio connection was maintained and continued to play each time I resumed...
I'm happy you found a workaround for this problem, as this seem to be a fine affordable tablet.
I'm thinking of buying it myself whenever it arrive at stores here, but for use outdoor.
It really would help if you give me your opinion as to using it outdoor, in shade, and, under direct sunlight. Is the screen reasonably visible?
You may post your reply here, or, in this thread that's started by "XDA_RealLifeReview" here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/review/outdoor-visibility-max-brightness-t3755886
Many, many thanks in advance.
Hi @wondering wanderer I posted a reply about screen brightness on the other thread....
Update on the Bluetooth Audio performance - I would say this is still not as good as my 3yr old Z3C Tablet.
What I did not mention above is that my Bose QC35 are usually connected both to my HTC phone and my tablet during my morning commute.
This allows me to quickly switch between podcast/music on the phone and video on the tablet during different stages of my commute.
If am watching a video on the Z3C tablet, and some email / message arrives on the phone, the audio of the movie is interrupted for a second whilst the notification sound plays and then the movie audio resumes immediately.
But with the M5, the audio is lost for at least 2-3 seconds after the notification sound - which seems really naff. You would hope that a 2018 tablet would perform better than a 2014/2015 tablet.

Thanks harryw66 for taking the trouble posting a comment in the other thread.
As for the Bluetooth problem, I agree that 2018 should've been better than the older gadgets, but there's always a hope that Huawei would correct the problem via firmware update soon.
If it's a real bother though, then you might consider returning it for a full refund and watch for the firmware update (if it comes), then re-purchase it.
Either way you choose, I sincerely wish you good luck, and, thank you again.
I applied the Huaewei software update last night and then downloaded a new Netflix Episode - was definitely a larger file around 1.2GB for a 50min episode - compared to 500-600MB for previous episodes.
However, this morning when trying to watch the new Episode - each time I paused , I could not resume video playback. It just get stuck with a blank screen. I have to exit Netflix and run it again in order to continue playback.
Also, any episodes of shows that i had downloaded before the Update, wont play now - just get an unknown error when I try - I guess because of the WideVine update....
I will give it a few more days and if things dont settle down I will probably send it back and stick to my trusty Z3C tablet for now...
