ya i factory reset as ive had several different cheap Bluetooth's hooked up. now its perfect between my stuff. i had to make sure to add all to trusted Bluetooth when it prompted i added everything. as i have my gear 2, my planatronics legend,car all played nice. only thing i gotta do is go into Bluetooth once now when in car to make audio default out car. as i have audio streaming turned on for the legend when i work. so far so good did a data reset from philz....but i will let my wife call her mother later with headset. its the long talk it was dropping see what happens. but this time i didnt install apps like greenfly

[Q] random Bluetooth disconnects?

So, lovin' most everything about this phone, but, one annoying thing that keeps happening; I get random bt disconnects with my Jawbone era and my plantronics voyager pro plus.
It happens anywhere, in the car, in the house, outside, so Its not interference from another BT source...
Anyone else getting this or figured out how to stop it?
I've done all the OTA stuff, and I am not temp rooted, no ever tried to be..
thanks!
The only bluetooth device that I use is a bluetooth full face helmet on my bike. I will get random disconnects, but I had thought that this was due to the bluetooth radio in my helmet being of only so so quality.
well, this never happened with my evo4g, so I am suspicious that the BT radio isnt as good as the one in the e4g was

I paired it with my Camry's hands free system yesterday and haven't seen any BT disconnects so far. You may have a defective phone.
I have connected to my Handfree in my '09 Lancer and didn't experience any disconnects for 12 hours straight. I also have a Nokia BH-503 and it never disconnects either. Maybe get a replacement phone?
Others are having bluetooth issues as well, mine takes the form of music skipping.

You are not alone.
For me it runs better than the EVO 4G. But it does occasionally disconnect. But never in the middle of a call. I'm using an old Sony HeadSet.
One trick I used to use on marginal connections over bluetooth was to try pairing it at the maximum distance you can. It *MAY* choose a better channel. Sometimes you have to clear out the history of the old channel or it may reuse that. Only way I know to clear it is factory reset.
Has anyone tried the phone with one of those high priced Bose Bluetooth headsets?
The random disconnects with the Jawbone Era are really annoying to me, but, if its the phone, and not the headset, thats a different issue.
I've already replaced one evo3d due to random rebooting, so I don't want to have to try to replace it again..
thanks
I have a blu ant. And music and call quality are great. No disconnects at all. Have you tried Bluetooth with a different model??? Might just be the unit itself.

Just bought a Q2 Blueant, so here's hoping I can get it to work right!
You should have no probs at all. They make quality Bluetooths.

I had this exact same problem on my EVO 4G. Still happens on the 3d. I have used many different Bluetooth handsets to no avail. Doesn't happen as often with the 3d but it is maddening, because it seems like once it starts it does it all day, and many times right when I am answering a call.

so far, the Blueant q2 has been perfect; we'll see how it is today, after a full day of phone calls..
I am having the exact same problem. My bluetooth goes into headset mode when I answer the phone or make a phone call, which pisses off me and the person I'm calling because we can't hear each other and I have to hang up and call them back... Really frustrating

I didnt have hardly any bluetooth problems with mine, my girlfriends, or my best friends og evo's. I upgraded to the 3vo and was having the disconecting issues and my phone would randomly reboot and then freeze while bluetooth streaming (Thats really the only bluetooth I use) so I took it back and ended up buying a 3vo out right. Still have the same issues. Its probably a software bug and will hopefully be fixed in a later update or custom rom
ive been having problems with my lg headset and disconects.. re connects.. took it in to the sprint store, they ran tests on it and it failed both radio tests that they did.. getting a new one tomorrow.. for those that are getting random disconects.. and a lot of droped calls.. have your radios checked out at the sprint service centers... it could be a bad phone.. (sadly.. im getting a refer 3vo back.. **sighs**)

[Q] Bluetooth Connection Speed

Hello; I've noticed something odd with my Note. I have a profile on Tasker to start Pandora when I'm plugged in and BT connected to my car headset/speaker. On my Evo 4G, it would be less than 2 seconds from hitting the Bluetooth switch to the profile activating. On the Note, it has taken upward of 20 seconds from Bluetooth "on" to actually pairing with the speaker and the profile activating. On a few occasions, all I get is the notification that there are open Bluetooth devices and have to manually select my device (Motorola Roadster, if it matters).
I've tried renaming the device, to make sure it wasn't "confused" with the Evo or something but no luck. It disconnects immediately, so doesn't seem to be an issue with the BT toggle or system setting.
Anyone have any ideas of how to speed up the pairing/connection?
Ditto. I always have to long press my cars Bluetooth and click connect otherwise it wont do it

One bump just in case the Sunday night crowd can help.
Have you tried leaving bt on constantly?
The skyrocket has the same issue.
Basically if bluetooth is turned off it kills re connect capability.
I have found that if you just leave bt on it reconects without issue

Impressive Bluetooth range

I've had my HTC One for 2 weeks now, and I've realized today how good the Bluetooth range is.
Well, I was in the men's restroom at work when I realized I didn't lose connection while listening to music on my Bluetooth headset, and I incidentally left the phone on my desk. I never had this solid connection on any of my previous phones.
I think I'm really liking this phone even more.

My Wifi is always on. Are you suggesting the Bluetooth range would be even better with WiFi turned off?

Any more bluetooth disconnect issues?

Hi for those who have played with the Zenwatch 2, have you experienced any bluetooth disconnect issues?
I am about to buy one for my wife but heard there had been some bluetooth disconnect issues in the past with the orginal Zenwatch, so just want to make sure.
Thanks!
Andrew
I've noticed it does seem to disconnect a lot and even close to watch but usually connects back by itself
I have fun into this problem, but it doesn't happen very often. I assume it's a coding problem add Erik Gerry psyched with a firmware update when Marshmallow launches
Yes... regularly... multiple times a day. Phone is always in my shirt pocket, pants pocket or hand, so it's not a distance issue. Wish i could find a way to turn off the vibration every time it disconnects/reconnects
I don't seem to have this issue that I have noticed. Have had it for a bit now with no issues.

I wonder if its the phone is connected to? The review I saw that mentioned it was using a Note 5 and I'm using an S6a

I am using a zenfone 2 with my zenwatch. Only time I have noticed it disconnected is when I'm out of range of my phone which is normal. Otherwise everything seems consistent even compared to my Moto 360.

I had a few disconnects beeing next to the phone. But only 3-4 times.
But I had a few reconnect issues after out-of-range disconnects. The watch didn't reconnect properly and I had to fiddle around, reboot, disable BT,...
I just need to use android wear on the phone to retry but it is still odd I suspect it is related to the OS on my phone for saving battery life?

I am using s6 edge+ and it seems to have more bluetooth disconnect issue with my other device after a recent OTA
I reset the watch rebooted the phone then the watch and removed the zen watch manager/zen camera and some unused watch face seems better now
Once we get on this watch. A lot of things can get fixed from us dev's. Just waiting on the source code.

Weird. I have the LG G4 and had the LG G Watch for about 6 months prior to getting the AZW2 and I've never noticed it ever disconnect throughout the day. The only time is when I walk out of range, but it reconnects again when I am in the general area
I just got the disconnect issue today. If I restart the watch it'll reconnect, but only for a few minutes then it disconnects. Rinse and repeat. I'd do a factory reset if I weren't at work and far away from my charging cable.
I bought the Zenwatch 2 a week ago. I'm using it with my S6. Software on both is up to date however the watch continues to get disconnected. Last night I did a factory reset on the watch and after a few minutes it disconnected again. WiFi isn't turned on either (which I read might cause interference with the radio or frequencies). I don't think there's any other option left but to return this and try another Zenwatch 2 (hoping it is an isolated issue).
I had a few disconnects, but only when it was out of range. The thing is, I let the phone somewhere in the house and I just wander around. The range on this thing is amazing! But when I get back in range it just reconnects automatically, just as it should. I must say, I am really impressed with the little one :d
Note3 5.0 stock rooted+latest update ZW2
Just curious if this is the way the device works with my phone, the Android Wear app always says "connected", however, whenever I go to the bluetooth settings on the watch, it's always disconnected...........no matter how many times I hit it to connect, it never does................but I always get notifications as usual, and it will vibrate for every call I receive on my phone.
Wifi is still connected. Never used bluetooth since i last setup my watch. Just using my phone as WiFi access point.

Bluetooth

Listening to my phone via Bluetooth is more and more irritating. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch but the crackles, cuts and stops are increasingly terrible. I stream everything, Google music, amazon, audible, it's like my phone can't buffer fast enough to transmit to my car stereo or my headphones. Any suggestions? I am not rooted. I am running tmobiles stock everything.

How long have you had the phone? Perhaps try an exchange? I haven't noticed that problem at all, I stream Google Music, TuneIn, etc. The main bluetooth issue I remember with this phone early on was people not being able to connect to their car stereo. I hope you get it fixed somehow. Are you streaming with a good strong data signal?
Thanks for the reply. Yah. LTE and 5 bars. Its really been since the M update. Gonna just try a factory reset and see what happens. Otherwise I guess there are 2 options after that. Exchange or Root.

Factory reset fixed it. So it seems.

This has been an ongoing problem with this phone. I've had a second replacement phone with the same issues. Usually rebooting solves it, but it'll progressively gets worse and worse until you have to reboot again.
I am thoroughly disappointed with this glaring issue, never had such headache with any of the phones I've used before.
