[Q] Experiencing WiFi and Bluetooth Clash when using together - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep experiencing the problem on my Transformer.
When I listen to the music using my bluetooth speaker connected to my Transformer, the WiFi connection becomes extremely unstable and the download is suspended. Once I stop playing music or shut Bluetooth down, everything just go well.
I've learned WiFi and Bluetooth do clash as they are using same frequency. But there should be some technology to prevent it. Wifi and Bluetooth can work well on my Galaxy S together.
I'm wondering what is the actual problem.
Thanks!

yes, very annoying.
Playing Youtube videos while using bt headphones causes the videos to stall frequently.

Bump bump bump

can someone try with bluetooth 2 or 2.1 headphones? They reportedly have better wi-fi collision avoidance protocols.

No issues here playing Youtube with stereo bluetooth.
EDIT: Scratch that. Got a pause. Seems to get stuck and buffers.
EDIT2: Nah. It buffers without bluetooth connected too so must be my connection.

Happens all the time to me on my Evo. I use it to play music through my car's stereo, but the instant I'm close enough to my home's wifi, Bluetooth cuts out. I think it's an Android thing, not something specific to this hardware.

Look for Bluetooth coexistence on your router and hope your bluetooth headset supports the feature too. I think the Transformer's Broadcom radio will automatically enable its coexistence feature if it detects the router using it. I don't know why they decided to make Bluetooth around 2.4 GHz too.

[Q] Bluetooth car audio streaming - connection keeps dropping

I would like to play audio through the built-in BT receiver in my car. The phone pairs and connects perfectly, phone calls and sync seem to work perfectly. It also plays audio for a while but after a few minutes the connection always drops. This only happens playing audio, no phone calls have been dropped so far.
I have been browsing forums for a while and tried some of the solutions mentioned, like turning off wifi. None of this seems to help.
Any ideas?

WiQiQi wireless charging and bluetooth issues

I am experiencing my bluetooth cutting out when the receiver is inserted in the phone. As soon the the receiver is removed from the phone, bluetooth streaming resumes flawless playback. Wouldn't expect that it would cause signals issues with the bluetooth. I don't have another headset to try. It's a cheap china stereo bluetooth headset. I works really well and has good sound. I'm wondering if another headset might be better. I have a bt home connect from xtrememac and I seem to be able to walk around my apartment w/out it cutting out. But it only seems to give me a problem with music and not with voice calls. Any suggestions?

Streaming via Bluetooth

Has anyone successfully managed to get the phone to stream music via Bluetooth. I've tried my sound bar, Moto S11's, cars, trucks, SUVs with no luck. I can take calls on all, but no music via bluetooth streaming.
Do it everyday, with both my car stereo for calls and music and also in house with small bt speaker in my kitchen.
Never had an issue with connection once

I do it everyday as well. Listen to music and podcasts over LG Tone+, and it works in my car with Ford Sync too. The volume is jacked when using it with a stereo headset but that's another issue.

Used it in my car several times. Under the Bluetooth settings for the device your connected to, make sure its checked to use a media device.
Do this everyday as well. I connect to my Mazda 3's stereo as well as Bluetooth speakers at home without a single hitch.
Connecting is not the problem. Phone connects fine. All my cars recognize the connection because I can make calls from my cars. I get my calls too. I just can't stream music to my head units. Works fine with my HTC One call and streaming. Just can't get the streaming to work.
I have a budget JVC head unit for my car, and it always drops the signal. (Has done it with the One, GNex, iPhone...)
While the phone is "connected" toggle the source on the Bluetooth receiver, meaning - switch it to AUX, then leave it for a couple seconds, switch it back to Bluetooth and see if that helps. Also when there is music playing, crank up the volume on the phone (volume rocker) because there is a separate volume level for Bluetooth sound versus ringtone volume.
Hope this helps in some way

Ahhhh, your car may not support the media profile, just phone.

Nope. They all support it. My HTC One streams music no problem. I've resetted the phone multiple times and now my Bluetooth file exchange is not working. I'm going to have to RMA it. Which sucks.

In the Bluetooth settings for your car, so you have the box ticked for streaming music? There are two boxes for mine in the seeing profile for my car ... handle voice calls and music stream.
I have switched off voice calls for my Bluetooth speaker in house using the profile settings for that device

Bluetooth Audio

How is the Bluetooth audio quality on the S6? I use many wireless headphones and speakers so this is an important factor for me. Is it true that the Bluetooth audio randomly stops sometimes?
Mine randomly starts to skip and pop after some time playing. Turning the BT off/on fixes it for a while.
The problem is worse when paired with my Bēm speaker, rare when paired with my JBL speaker, and nonexistent when paired with my Sony soundbar.
All of these speakers work fine with my other devices.
I only use bluetooth with my truck's stock stereo, but this is the first Android device I've had paired with it that doesn't skip over BT. I've used it with S6, Note 3, Note 4, S5 Active, S4 Active and iPhone 6+. iP6+ was the only other one that didn't skip.
S5 Active and Note 3 also skip with a Jensen BT Nav headunit in a different vehicle.
An update to my previous comment..
I went for an hour-long drive and experienced no skipping or popping while paired to my car's stereo.
It seems the issues are only with specific Bluetooth receivers/speakers.
I can get on-board with this. I have a few different bluetooth devices, all of which have no trouble, ever, but then sometimes (and ONLY sometimes) my BT headphones will skip and stutter to the point that I just turn them off. The other devices work fine 100% of the time.
I'm at my wit's end with the bluetooth on this device. It skips and stutters more times than not. It's embarrassing when friends are over and we're trying to have some background music playing.

No BT problems here. Maybe you have a defective phone. Take it back to the store and try to exchange it. There is no excuse for crappy BT on a $700+ device.
My wife has an S6 also, with the same issues.
I have FINALLY noticed an issue with the BT on my phone. When connected to my truck and listening to music, I go to a call (incoming or outgoing doesn't matter), when the call ends and goes back to the music, the volume "flutters". It goes low/high/low/high alternating twice a second. It's a very slight change, but it's enough to notice that it sounds "weird".
Exiting and restarting PowerAMP, or switching to a different input then back to the BT audio stream will fix it, so I haven't figured out if it's the phone or my truck.

Wifi and bluetooth issues

Hi
I have a European MotoG first generation. Ever since I got the Android 5.1 update I got issues with bluetooth media and wifi disturbing each other. E.g. if I listen to some music from my DLNA server via wifi through my bluetooth headset then the sound will start stuttering. If I measure the wifi speed throughput is very bad. If I use normal wired headset it works fine. If I connect to the server via mobile data and use the bluetooth headset it works fine as well. It is only the combination that does not work.
I read somewhere that wifi and bluetooth share the same antenna. Does any body know how I can fix or troubleshoot this problem?
