I'm having a strange issue on my S6 Edge that didn't exist on my previous phone (HTC M8).
I use a Moto 360 which naturally is paired over bluetooth, and also a wireless bluetooth headset. I found the audio would cut out anywhere between about 2 and 20 minutes when using the headset at the gym; however it would only 'disconnect' about 2 minutes later if left (it still registered as being connected until then and the music app would continue "playing"). Turning the headset off and on would fix it each time, and my Moto 360 would not have any disconnection issues.
I eventually worked out the issue is fixed if only the headset was paired with the phone (i.e., I unpaired the Moto 360 in the S6's bluetooth settings). The weird thing is though, that I do not take my Moto 360 to the gym, so only 1 bluetooth device was ever connected or even in range at the same time; it was simply the fact of having the Moto 360 remembered as paired but not connected that is making the phone cut audio to the headset and then disconnect 2 minutes later.
I've read of people experiencing the exact same thing on the S5 with 2 bluetooth devices paired, but haven't found a solution. I did not experience this issue at all the my M8, so I assume it must be an S6 or Samsung thing.
Anyone else having this problem?
I'm having the same issue with my Jaybird Bluebuds X. Audio will cut out and then bluetooth disconnect every couple minutes at the gym. Then I came home and played around with them and didn't have any issues. I'll have to do more testing at the gym to see what is making it cut out.
Do you have 2 devices listed as paired under Bluetooth?
For the record, my headset is a Plantronics Backbeat Fit, although I'm pretty sure that's not the issue since it works fine on my M8 under the exact same conditions.
Also confirmed again today - removing my Moto 360 from the bluetooth list stops the issue. Very annoying to have to go and re-add my watch every day after the gym though.
Yes, I have about 4 other devices that are paired. That must be the issue then. Really annoying though, because I'm not going to remove them every time I go to the gym. Ugh.
You guys ever figure this out? I'm having the same exact issue. Moto 360 and Jaybird BT headphones. The headphones cut out after several minutes, then a couple minutes later they disconnect. I connect them and it does the same thing over and over. This is if I have my Moto 360 on me, and weirdly enough if I leave it at home.
What solves it is if I "disconnect" the Moto 360 in the Android Wear app. This works if the Moto 360 is on me, or at home. I have no idea why, but it works flawlessly and I don't have to unpaid it. Now I'd love to not have to do that, what if I wanted to wear my Moto 360 and the headset at the same time? Would love to find a solution to this.
This phone has been giving me some odd issues and I'm worried I may just replace it before my 30 days are up. The keyboard presses on the edge are not responding, the bluetooth is causing issues, etc etc. GRRRR!
I had to return the Jaybird Bluebuds, they are just too expensive to be disconnecting this often. I am now using the Motorola Buds and haven't had any issues.
I found a bandaid fix yesterday - when the music disconnects, press the call / hang-up button on your earphones if they have one. The music immediately starts playing again as if nothing happened and there's no disconnect 2 minutes later.
It's annoying, but at least I don't have to mess with unpairing or disconnecting my Moto 360. It also leads me to believe the bug must be something to do with the phone incorrectly changing audio priorities as if it's gotten a call, which would explain why the play/pause button does nothing since phones won't let you resume playing music while in a call...until you "hang up" (pressing the hang-up button on my earphones).
Does that work for you guys?
My moto 360 keeps disconnecting for no reason eventhough the phone is very close to my watch. I am only using one Bluetooth device
Happening with my LG G4 with Jaybird X2 and Urbane watch paired. So this is an android wear issue I suppose and not S6edge specific problem.
It's really annoying =\
Yeah i just got the jaybirds x2's and im having the same issue. The audio will play for a min or so then they get fuzzy and cut out. If i hold the end call button they will come back for a few minutes then do it again. I really like the headphones but im not about to keep $180 buds when i cant even enjoy them.
If you just disconnect the watch in the wear app it resolves the issue. The reason it happens is the app polls for the watch every few seconds which interrupts other BT communication. The main issue I have is when a headset is connected voice commands don't work on the watch. It says disconnected even though it is.
Same problem here. Also Plantronics Backbeat Fit and a Moto 360. I'll try your suggestion of disconnecting the watch in the Wear app. However, i also like wearing the watch when running, since the Strava app tells me the distance and heartrate (for which i use a Scosche BT heartrate monitor).
Seems like returning the Backbeat Fit is use less since its not broken.

Same issue with jaybird x2 and strava app using Runtastic HR BT monitor. Jaybird disconnect after 2 min of playing the music. I dont know how to fix this, for the moment i just stop using my bt headsets will training. This is so bad since we spent so much money on this products
I got a new smart watch this week, the U Watch Ux. Great little watch and way cheaper than the brand name ones. I specifically bought it for the gym because it has a heart rate monitor (I have a bad heart). I also have a pair of Beats 2 Bluetooth headphones for the gym as well. The first time I tried to use my headphones while the watch was connected, the headphones wouldn't work. When I go into Bluetooth settings and tell it to connect to my headphones, it disconnects my smart watch and disconnects the software on my phone. I'm trying to find out if there is a way that I can have both connected to my phone at the same time.
Hello! I just bought a Zenwatch 2 and so far I really like it, except for one problem (below). One of the main reasons I bought it was to play music through bluetooth headphones/earbuds while working out.
The problem I'm having is that the music cuts out every now and then. I won't say randomly because I think I know what's causing it...very poor signal strength for the Bluetooth transmitter in the watch. I've tried 2 different pair of earbuds and it does the same thing. With the watch on either hand, I play music using the Zenwatch Music app and it pairs up just fine and plays. The second I drop my hands to my side, the music will cut out every few seconds. Taking off the watch and walking away I get about 10 feet before it cuts out...however, the watch has literally nothing but air between it and the earbuds.
I've tried the earbuds with a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and the earbuds distance triples before cutting out, and of course it doesn't cut out when I drop my hands (with the phone) to my sides. My girlfriend has a Moto 360 2nd Gen watch, and hers doesn't cut out as bad while wearing it, although it does a little. If I had to quantify it, I'd say the Moto 360 cuts out 75% less than the Zenwatch 2.
Anyway, I know that battery life is a big deal with smart watches. I've found that I get about 2-1/2 days out of my watch...but I'm not a heavy user. Occasional texts, an hour in the gym tonight with the bluetooth music playing, and after exactly 12 hours off the charger, I'm at 60%. I would gladly sacrifice some battery life if I could get 10 - 20% more power through the bluetooth transmitter.
Anyone experience this? Any suggestions?
Hi!
Are there any Stratos 3 owners that have a heart rate monitor strap which works together with the watch?
I have a Polar H7 which I read it works with the Stratos 2. But I have not managed to connect it to the watch
Today I got the H7 working. Didn't do anything different from when I tried yesterday. It just connected and tested it for a little walk and it was fine.
Not sure what to blame here if the strap or the watch. Let's see how reliable it is over time
Hi. I have Suunto smart sensor. And it works just fine with stratos 3.
I have an Amazfit A1619 and also a bone conduction headphone (btw, highly recommend for walking and running. Sound quality is quite acceptable... And it's safe).
Well, I'd like to pair my stratos to a chest strap for better accuracy in regards to HR. at the moment, I don't own any.
Two questions:
A) can I pair both at the same time???
B) can someone recommend me a cheap chest strap HR monitor, with reasonable quality?
Thanks!!!!
BT headsets can be paired in:
Settings>Connection>Bluetooth
BT HR chest bands in:
Sport>Sport Activity>Accessories
