[Q] Bluetooth car audio streaming - connection keeps dropping - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] Experiencing WiFi and Bluetooth Clash when using together

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.

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?

[Q] Wifi hotspot interference with bluetooth

Problem: Whenever I enable my wifi hotspot it causes my bluetooth audio to fail after approximately 5 min.
Example: In the car on car audio talking. Now enable to the hotspot for a wifi device (both services running on my phone at the same time). It works fine for a few min but then my I suddenly can't hear the person on the other end of the bluetooth call.
Troubleshooting:
1. If I turn off the wifi hotspot, the bluetooth audio will reconnect after about a min and I can hear the caller again.
2. If I have a bluetooth call going, the call does not drop. The other person is still there but just I can't hear them, they continue to hear me talking the whole time. The bluetooth devices stays connected - only the audio in is lost while audio out continues to work normally.
3. I have reprovisioned my phone with a new stock rom and tried it from a clean install before loading any third party apps and I get the same thing.
Phone specs
HTC Amaze, stock rom, android 4.0.3
Admittedly, I have not experimented with other blutooth devices only the connection to my car audio. The problem could be with my car bluetooth but I have never had connection issues with the car audio connected to any other bluetooth device.
I read an article that wifi and bluetooth can interfere with one another. But this only happens when both services are enable on the same phone (My HTC Amaze) at the same time. Wierd and frustrating because I have to kill my hotspot if I am going to receive a call and use bluetooth.

MotoG keeps switching between Headset and Speakers

Hello, my name is Zineron, more known as Zinnye. I just fixed a MotoG for me, it works normally, except the audio. The phone keeps Switching between Wired Headset and Speakers, I only noticed that after i went to watch some videos at youtube, and the sound kept failing, because of that bug. The thing is: I can still watch videos, listen to music, play games, but only when the headset is connected. If the Headset is not connected, it keeps switching between Speakers and Wired Headset.
I've been searching around the internet a while, and i found a lot of people with the same problem, but with them, the bug only happens when the headset is connected, so they couldn't help me.
My phone is a MotoG, running android 5.0.2(Lollipop), and it's not rooted or anything.

Bluetooth synced&connected, audio plays through phone speaker!

For some reason, one out of three times, after establishing a link with a Bluetooth device (car, headphones, etc), the phone starts playing audio through its speaker, instead of the Bluetooth device, either immediately after establishing the connection, or a little while later the bt device speaker strangely stops playing and the phone speaker continues. The BT settings continue showing that the BT device is still connected for audio, etc. Why could this problem continue happening? That's the only reason I am going to have to buy a difference device. Everything else works fine on this phone.
