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.
Anyone experiencing coverage issues with a bluetooth headset? I have read that there are issues with bluetooth and automobiles, but hadn't seen anyone have any issues with headsets. I have a Sony SBH-80 and when device is in my pocket, I have breakup. When I reboot, it temporarily works great, but slowly degrades again. It used to be only my back pocket, now even it it's in my front pocket I have issues. I did not have this issue with my G4. Oh, and I'm only 5' 7", so it's not like it is a great distance between my headset and my phone!
I just bought the v10 two days ago and I'm experiencing this problem as well. I listen to podcasts while asset work, and when the phone's in my pocket, the signal constantly breaks up. But if it's on the table in front of me or in my hand, it's fine. Very frustrating. Hopefully LG will address the issue in an update soon.

I wonder if its the headset or the phone? I believe it must be the phone, because past LG phones had bluetooth issues, and I've read where people with this phone are having bt issues with their cars, so I hope that's it. I love the headset - tremendous sound for a bt and awesome battery life!
Just noticed - I gave you your first "Thanks"!

Good point. I'm almost positive it's an issue with the phone because I've used the same bt headset (Samsung HM3300) with my HTC One and LG G4 (this is my third HM3300. I keep losing them lol so the one I'm using is actually almost new).
Whether it's this specific phone or actually the V10 model, I can't tell, but I'm leaning towards the latter. Not sure it's worth exchanging the phone since I've spent hours setting it up already lol. But maybe I'll get to the point where I can't take it any more because I rely heavily on using my bt headset.
Actually between these posts, I plugged in my charger and walked 15 feet away and my bt signal was fine. But as soon as it goes in my pocket, the signal gets choppy. I dunno.
Thanks for my first like! ?
I also have a Sony SBH-80 headset and it worked with no problems connected to my Note 4. I just got my V10 on 11/1 and have had several issues with my SBH-80 connected. Sometimes when talking through my headset voices sound "electronic" and I cannot even get the phone to show disconnected from the headset when the headset is turned off. I also cannot manually disconnect. I have to reboot the phone. I'm not sure when is going on here but its about to drive me crazy. I also have a pair of LG Infinims that I have not yet paired. I am going to par them tomorrow and see if I have the same issue but I like my SBH-80s much better and hope that LG fixes the issue. Hopefully they will roll out an update to fix the bluetooth issues that I have been reading about in the forums.

I have HBS-730, and I've had some luck rotating the phone 180 degrees in the pocket - upside down. The way I see it, it brings the sensor ~15 centimeters closer to the ears. If that does not help, usually restarting the headset helps.
And I just got this new phone too.....
Well...this is disappointing. After reading thru this thread and others, I can now confirm that it definitely is my new LG V10 having BlueTooth Connectivity Issues. I paired it to my Samsung Level BT headset and when I put my V10 in my back pocket, my front pocket or my jacket pocket, the sound begins to Sputter and Crackle and Pop. When I take the V10 out of my pocket and hold it in my hand, the audio plays just fine. It's winter time in NYC and I cannot walk these streets holding my phone in my exposed hands to hear my music clearly. Really upset now with this LG V10....and I was just beginning to settle in with it too. I did a little research and found a possible solution. I intend to test it on my subway ride to work....
How to fix LG V10 Bluetooth issues:
Turn on the LG V10
Go to home screen and select the app icon
Then select on the settings icon
Browse for the Application Manager
Display All Tabs by swiping either right or left
Select on Bluetooth
Select to stop it forcefully.
Now clear the cache
Select clear the Bluetooth data
Select Ok
Finally restart the LG V10
If the steps above don’t work, try performing a wipe cache partition on your LG V10. After that, try to connect the LG V10 with another Bluetooth device in range and it should work. These instructions should be able to solve any Bluetooth problems you have on your LG V10.
And here's the link to the Wipe Cache Partition incase the the BT Fix didn't work:

Happens with my Earpiece also. Gonna try above. Thanks
So I bought a g5, and I'm loving it so far. Except for 2 things:
A. I seem to have received a bad battery with my phone, as it doesn't charge all the way on a non quick charge charger, and if I reboot, I lose about 10-20% battery regularly.
B. If I use my Bluetooth headphones (Sony mdr-zx770bn) in a2dp mode, I get random skips and drops of signal. Very annoying when listening to music. This happens with both my headphones and my Bluetooth car stereo. It's not location based, as it happens at work and at home.
I think I may have got a bad phone, because when it drops the Bluetooth signal, it drops both wifi and mobile data as well.
Anyone have similar problems or suggestions? I really don't want to have to exchange the phone, because I ordered it online so it'd be a pain to do.
Sounds like you got one of those 1% failures. Better swap it out!
Definitely.....I have same issue with first phone....now on second and evrythig is good

I have similar problem with A2DP streaming - random drops of sound every few minutes. No problem with other sources (I used many other phones before) . Additonally sound (voice) during calls is distored. This is so annoying. Apart from that issues G5 seems to be great phone.
Did you manage to solve the problem? Swap, other way?
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
Hello. Picked up an Xperia X a couple months ago and have been generally happy with it, though I'm having some bluetooth issues ranging from annoying to infuriating that are preventing me from really enjoying this phone. Hope some of the gurus here can provide a some guidance on what I can do to fix or workaround these issues.
1. After some period of time listening to music/podcasts/whatever, the phone will automatically drop the volume by half and display the message:
Listening to sounds above the current volume level may permanently damage your hearing.
That's fine and dandy, but I'm controlling the volume through the bluetooth device, and the result is that it drops to a volume so low I can no longer hear it, and while it's a simple thing, it's infuriating every time it happens. Based on prior searches, I know this is a built-in "feature" and I know it's been part of the Xperia phones for a while, but is there any way to disable this behavior? I have my phone rooted, so root-level apps, Xposed modules, etc. are all on the table. This is my number one complaint with the phone, so would really appreciate any help here. Note: to clarify, I want to stop this *behavior*. I've found other discussions about killing similar warning messages, but nothing about how to prevent it from actually lowering the volume.
2. When connected to my car through bluetooth, I don't get metadata from the phone (AVRCP?). Bluetooth problems in general appear to be widely reported for Android 7.1.x on this phone, but most people seem to complain about being unable to pair their device at all. I can pair it fine, but I don't get metadata. However, prior to upgrading to 7.1 (while still on 6.0) metadata worked, and when running OmniROM 7.1.2 on this phone metadata also worked. So, it seems to be a problem with this particular version of the stock ROM for this phone.
Any ideas on how I can fix that? Again, maybe an xposed module or something that I've overlooked? or could I maybe swap out the bluetooth stack from OmniROM, which works fine? This is a much lesser annoyance than the above, but still interested in any suggestions.
3. Finally, this is a more subjective issue, but does anyone else have problems with bluetooth performance in general with this phone? On my last two phones, I kept my phone in my left pocket and played through a bluetooth headphones with the receiver on my right ear with generally no problems, other than the occasional hiccups that seem to affect every android device (at least every one I've used). With the Xperia X, however, trying to play with the phone in my left pocket skips so horribly that it's completely unlistenable. Moving it to my right pocket helps somewhat, but it's still flaky - turning my head sideways such that the receiver is over my shoulder causes skipping. I have to move my phone up into my jacket pocket in order for it to play (mostly) reliably.
Does anyone else have problems like this? Again, I never hard this problem with either of my two previous phones on the same set of headphones (have similar, but not as severe, issues in my car as well). I *did* have this same problem with OmniROM as well, and I have the problem with and without a case, so it seems hardware related, but if the bluetooth hardware was truly this bad I would expect to have seen more discussion about it. So, just wondering - is this just me, or do other people have this problem as well? I know it's unlikely, but any suggestions to improve this? Ie., possible to increase the bluetooth transmitter power or something like that?
Thanks, all. Sorry this turns out a little long, just wanted to properly explain. Looking forward to any suggestions.
I can confirm that on my XX Bluetooth signal is also weak, I have same issues at least with two Sony headsets (SBH60 and SBH80). Also with Bluetooth AptX receiver for my (home) audio it is quite similar, just walking behind corner from direct visibility and audio is choppy...
1. This error message appears very rarely, for me, not every 30 minutes. I have this phone for 1 year now and I encountered the warning 5-6 times.
2. Idk
3. True, Im pretty dissapointed by the bluetooth strenght. Also, the WiFi is super weak too. Very dissapointing.
This also happens on the Tablet Z, where I have external speakers connected. Nannytech run amok.
Replying to old thread, but got just new bluetooth headset and noticed also very poor bluetooth performance on my xperia x. Distance between phone and headset cant exceed half a meter, or music starts stopping and skipping. Even with my ancient backup phone, Iphone 4s, distance can be meters... Very poor desing from Sony.
Bluetooth in general eventually drove me away. Only got midling performance at best, but whatever chip or driver or whatever they were using also had performance issues with custom ROMs. Never found a single ROM not based on stock that worked 100% correctly with bluetooth, and given podcasts and music is probably about 90% of what I use my phone for (combined with Sony ending even security updates long ago at this point), that was a pretty big problem for me.
Ended up buying a Pixel 3a to replace it. My main concern about the 3a is that I wish it was a little bit smaller (really my concern with almost every well-spec'ed phone these days), but the bluetooth in that phone is solid. Longer range and better strength than any other bluetooth device I've ever used. Extremely happy with it.
