Like it says, the bluetooth streaming with my SGN4 drops after 30mins, like clock work(no pun intended :laugh It doesn't matter what I'm paired with, or which app I'm using. I can't remember how long it's been an issue for me, as I usually only use the bluetooth streaming in the car, and my commute used to could be 35min. But I now have a set of Bose QC30s and it is really annoying to have to pull the phone out of my pocket, and turn the tunes back on every half an arn at work.
Since the note 7 is kaput, and the note 8 won't be around until fall I'd like to fix this. My next "upgrade" is 63 days out, and I love my note 4 elsewise. I never had connectivity issues with my SGS3, in fact it could even go 10hrs of music listening on wired headphones and did not have to be plugged in IIRC.
TIA,
Johnny
Almost forgot, I'm on stock rom Android 6.0.1, but the issue has existed for at least 6 months, yeah, I know, I shouldn't have put up with it for this long but I get busy and some stuff falls to the wayside...
You are not the first one to complain about it.
But I would suggest you to factory reset your device after backing up your data.
This solution worked for me though

This is a strange one and I don't know whether anyone will have an answer. When connected via BT to my car head unit (a Sony unit), the first 10-20 seconds of the song are played at a faster rate. It's kinda like an old belt driven turntable that hasn't been calibrated properly. You can actually hear the song slow down after the initial period (which cold last anywhere up to 45 seconds) and then it's fine. But jump to another track (and it could be the next track on the album that is playing sequentially) and it does it again. It's a strange quirk, and I can't figure it. There's no problem when played back through headphones so it must be a BT issue. Oh, and I'm running Modaco 2.7 if that makes any difference (I don't think I tried it with a standard ROM, I flashed after having the Hero for only a day). Here's hoping someone can shed some light, or at least convince me I'm not going mad!
The last few weeks I've been using the headphones now since I'm back to working out. However, it seems at random, that the next track button stops working. When it stops working, the Play/Pause button actually skips to the next track.
I use mine a lot and can say that this has never happened to me.
Well, then I hate you. I am gonna file this as an issue due to being rooted I suppose... Won't matter soon anyways as I need to find me a good set of jogging headphones.
I run into the same problem if I use my actually comfortable headphones instead of the crappy huge buds that can't fit in my ear. These have no controls on them and when using Pandora, it will just skip until I reach the 6 skip per hour limit and then it will still do crazy random things like open my notifications and stuff. I have since gotten some even better headphones and rooted (CM Nightlies) and it no longer happens. I think it is a poorly designed headphone connector that catches random signals, but thats just my opinion.

Hmm, thats an interesting thought. I have been using the stock music player, but am now running CM6 RC1 and have not tested it again, so I'll see how that goes and report back...
So, now that I am running CM6, the headphone buttons do not work at all, and I assume it is because of the different music player being used. Anyone know how I can install the stock HTC Music Player?
Has anyone had issues with bluetooth phone and media disconnecting randomly with the rezound? I have the rezound paired with my 2011 Acura TL, and I've had it just randomly disconnect 4 or 5 times now. Sometimes just media disconnects, sometimes both, sometimes bluetooth shuts off entirely? Anyone else notice weirdness?
I use a blueant t1. When an incoming call comes in, it is fine. Occasionally, when I make an outgoing call, I have to shut off the blueant and turn it back on to make it work even though it says it is connected.
One time I would turn it on and 3 seconds later it would turn itself off. Reboots or battery pull did not fix. I had to do a factory reset. Verizon said was probably some software I loaded, but I have since restored all the same apps and happened once for like 10 minutes, but never again. I looked and it was in performance mode too. Otherwise, I have had mine disconnect but never during a call, maybe only once. I also have an issue with it coming into the middle of a sentance during navigation if using my bluetooth speaker. It works fine without the bluetooth, but not with it.
I don't think so. I used it in my car for 2.5-3 hour trips over the holidays and it has been solid. Used it for calls and streaming music from my phone and mostly streaming podcasts from internet.
I could swear I read something about someone having disconnect problems in his car but I searched and couldn't find it. Something about it disconnecting in his car when he held it a certain way.

Thanks. I'll try that out. I always have it in my inside jacket pocket in the car, so it's definitely not the way I'm holding it.
I rarely use the phone over bluetooth, but loves me some A2DP.
So, I posted a thread about this in the off-topic area, which may not have been the most appropriate place, and I apologize; however, getting to this area of the board is not an obvious thing when you're sitting on the initial page of the board and looking at phone devices as categories as one's only other options.
Anyhow...
Here's the deal. I have noticed the following tendency, ever since Android 5.0 (or maybe 5.1), when a Bluetooth headset has an active connection to the phone, and NEVER if there is no actively connected Bluetooth headset:
When a phone call is disconnected, either by the person on the other end of the call, or by myself, that my phone will open up a media player and start playing a song, a local video, or streaming content. This happens about 25% or more of the time when the call is ended remotely, and 75% or more of the time if I end the call, now that I'm using Android 7 (stock) on my phone.
I ran Android 4.x and 5.x on my Nexus 4, and saw this occasionally. I briefly ran a custom ROM of Android 6 on it. I don't know if I noticed much of a difference between 5.x and 6 on my Nexus 4.
I now have a Nexus 6, on which I have run Android 6.x and now 7.x, and while the behavior was worse than on my Nexus 4, it wasn't too horribly bad (at least, that I noticed). However, I am using a Bluetooth headset on my phone basically 7 days a week now, and I'd say the situation has gotten noticeably much worse on the same hardware under Android 7.
I have used two bluetooth headsets across these two different phones, both of which are Plantronics units.
I tried an experiment this past Thursday in which I turned off the Media option on my phone for the headset, and the behavior seems to have stopped altogether.
The problem is that I also use my phone as a GPS, and as my current job has me driving quite a bit, I need turn-by-turn audio instructions since I will not look at my phone's screen while driving. Turning off the Media option means the voice navigation then plays over the phone's speaker, and with background noise, that's not as good as having it straight in my ear.
So, my point in this thread basically is: is anyone else seeing this same behavior, and is there anything useful one can do to solve it?
There's now a new wrinkle to this.
For reasons unrelated to this thread, I just factory reset my phone. I have my usual apps on it (not much exciting) and I hung up from my headset, without ever having once opened up ANY media player since the wipe. It opened Google Play Music and started streaming music from my account.
This has gone past the point of being ridiculous.
Is there a chance that this is simply a thing related to using a Plantronics product?
I mean, I'm at wit's end here. I have no idea how to proceed because I feel I've pretty much done everything.
OK, I know this has been such an interesting and engaging saga for everyone here, but maybe this will be of use to someone else in the future...
I bought a Jabra Bluetooth earpiece, and now all the problems are gone. Yay!
Hello Guys,
i am an owner of a Mate 20 Pro for about 2 weeks now and i am quite pleased with the device , specially battery and charging is like nothing i have ever seen on android.
my only problem with the device is Bluetooth calling quality. I used to have a galaxy S7 and was using it with my car android unit (a PX3 from seicane) and my AM61(huawei sports buds) without issues , once i changed to mate 20 pro i started getting complains from the people i called that they were not hearing me very well , most of the times i have to repeat my self quite a lot for someone to understand what i am saying.
i have tried numerous things, ie turn off // on VoLTE/WIFIcalling , factory resetting but still have the same issue. I am a bit desperate here since i spend a lot of time in my car and also use by earbuds during my workouts and its been quite frustrating. Also as far as listening from my bluetooth goes everything is superb , both hearing my caller and music.
My wired earbuds work flawlessly and of course the same goes for when i am talking directly from the phone. I am in Europe currently my firmware is 9.0.0.146.
To tell you the truth i am convinced it is a firmware issue and i will wait till the next upgrade , if this isn't resolve in the next update i will probably visit Huawei service center.
Also there is the chance that since my bluetooth devices are not bluetooth 5.0 there may be some incompatibility with mate 20 pro but there shouldn't be right ?
Anyway if you have some similar experience or even better any suggestions i am all ears.
I know people hate to hear this but I would say it's the devices you're using. I had much more issues with my Note 9 than I do with the Mate 20 pro on bluetooth.
With the car, maybe its the phone though using the phones mic instead of the car mic? This issue might be the phone.
Try and contact Huawei, they might patch it.
Hi Jonathan , i would go with the device as well if it wasn't for the fact that both my devices seem to have an issue with mate 20 pro, they were working perfectly(well nothing is perfect) till the day i stopped using my S7.
Anyway just wanted to know if i am the only one with issues since(might be a hardware issue) or if other people have the same issue(firmware, software) that may be solved in the future or maybe if anyone is using a specific bluetooth device with their mate 20 pro that works correctly , maybe i could give it a try, although i was quite happy with AM61 , i have gone through 3 pairs in the last year(i tend to loose them easily), but they are quite impressive for their price.
I am teriffied to have to go to something like the freebuds, or airpod style earbuds, lossing those will make a dent in my wallet
Hello
I am having the same problem with exactly the same earbuds am61
With mate 20 pro
Can someone suggest a decent headphone pair that works well with mate 20 pro. I have AM61 and a PX3 car stereo and both of them have the call quality issue, i was in .153 and the issue was better , now i am on .187 and it is even worse. I have a bluetooth 3.0 plantronics M50 that is working fine with the phone so this is no hardware issue.
I am looking for something that i can use for my workouts and my calls nothing special. i have found these on amazon maybe someone that has them can tell me if they work fine :
https://www.amazon.de/Soundcore-Akk...UTF8&qid=1550522072&sr=1-5&keywords=soundcore
i am looking for something at the price range of 30-60 euro, maybe a little more if they are really worth it.

I know its more than your budget but I use the bose soundsport free which are excellent and work with no problems with this phone.
Sent from LYA LYA Ya Bums on Fire
Happy to report that. 201 fixed my bluetooth issues for the most part, my callers report that call quality is tolerable both from my car Bluetooth as well as my am61 earphones. Will test further in the next few days.
Same issue here - On 9.0.0.187
Volkswagen Golf 7 2016
Voice sounds like its lagging and like metallic treble
Also i notice with Spotify will streaming music that the display unit is out of sync with what i am listening

At 9.0.0.210 now and although the problem seems to be a lot better it is not fixed. Main issue now is when the hotspot is on and you are sharing data bluetooth call quality is very bad.
Also i have noticed that when sharing data and stream music with A2DP over bluetooth you get skips in music , and no it is not my data connection. i am taking the same roads to work as when i had my S7 and had no issues there.
Well you can't have it all i guess, to tell you the truth since i am a heavy bluetooth user i am thinking of selling it and buying an S10 but going back to sammy is very difficult for me, i was a sammy user for the last 4-5 years both for tablets and phones and although the devices were great after 6-9 months i had lag issues and battery problems, i replaced my S7 after 2.5 years because pressing the call button took 5 seconds to actually start dialing and had to charge the battery 3 times a day. My tab S3 takes about 10 seconds to wake up in the morning and lags like hell even after doing a factory reset.
I am starting to think that Apples overpriced s***tphones are not a bad idea after all

Γεία σου χαλαρέ! To tell you the truth i am thinking the same
Maybe not a S10 but something else..
My only issue with Samsung is the rate of the upgrades. S10 comes with Pie and i am guessing that it will get Q a bit before S11 comes out! xD
Same issue with p30 pro with latest updates. S10 plus worked fine, but since i have p30 pro, people are complaining they can hear me just like in water
