[Q] Wifi hotspot interference with bluetooth - General Questions and Answers

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.

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.

[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?

Is there a way to auto swtich bluetooth?

I have my phone setup with my car and quality is great, but i can't figure out how to set the phone to auto switch to a bluetooth device for all calls once it's connected. Is there a way to do this?
My calls go to my bluetooth headset when the headset is already connected. My issue is that the phone doesn't automatically connect to the headset upon power on/boot up. This is the first phone I've had that does this and I don't like it.

It should be automatic, I think (or at least, in the BT devices settings). If not, try Tasker,

I don't get it. My phone auto connects for me. Did it with the tunelink in my car today and the past few weeks, did it for 4 days with my friends ford car with sync and does it at work with many different devices when I get near them.

I'm not sure I 100% get what you want. Are you saying you get the BT connection in your car but it won't send the calls to it? Your phone rings instead?
I can tell when my phone locks into my car's BT because the screen in my car indicates it. All calls then get redirected to the car's system.
My phone automatically connects when I start my car. Calls that I pickup with my steering will buttons route through to bluetooth. All that is fine. My problem is making outgoing calls. I have a feedback dial that is a pain to dial from. I like using the 1 touch calling on my phone much more - except when I dial through the phone, it never pushes to bluetooth. After connecting, I can switch to bluetooth, but I have to manually use the touchscreen to get it going. Is there any way that it can auto connect using bluetooth when I dial from my phone?
Weird, my phone automatically uses bluetooth even when I dial my from my phone. This is true for both my car's bluetooth and my bluetooth headphones. Maybe it's a setting in your car?

Did you check through the phone settings? I think there are some bluetooth settings in there.

Bluetooth Issues: Any Idea?

I just switched from an S4 to the S7.
I am having two problems with the bluetooth:
1. During phone calls I find that intermittently my bluetooth connection just drops from my headset. The call continues on the handset but I have to manually reconnect my headset. Its problematic.
2. When listening to music with the phone in my pocket, I get a lot of bluetooth interruptions. I was able to do this no problem with my S4 so I was surprised that the S7 cant keep that connection. Anything I can do?
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know...Thank you.

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.

Question Bluetooth issue when making calls

Hi,
I have a weird issue with what I would call - priority of Bluetooth devices in making phone calls.
Setup:
- Poco X3 Pro on the latest MIUI revision (12.5.2)
- car - Ford audio, Sync 3.4 patched yesterday to latest build, however the problem existed earlier
- Huawei Watch GT2.
Huawei Watch and Ford are paired with my phone.
The problem is affecting ability to use Ford's BT handsfree mode and talk through car's speakers and mic.
Issue #1:
- phone connected via BT to the car, no USB cable in use
- incoming calls - they are presented by car's audio system, I'm accepting the call, the conversation starts, car's audio (CD or FM radio) is muted but the call stays in phone, I need to manually pick up phone, go into active connection screen and move audio output to Ford BT device
- outgoing calls - same issue as with incoming calls
Issue #2
- phone connected with USB cable to the car audio system, Android Auto kicks in and enables BT in phone if it was switched off
- incoming calls - they are presented by car's audio system, I'm accepting the call, the conversation starts, car's audio (CD or FM radio) is muted but the call stays in phone, I can't use my phone, to go into active connection screen and move audio output to Ford BT device as it's now blocked by Andorid Auto, when I try to do the same on my car's touchscreen, using the AA phone app, Ford BT device is not even visible as available option
- outgoing calls - same issue as with incoming calls.
It happens very rarely that the phone connection audio ends up in my Huawei Watch.
When I turn off my Huwei Watch while driving the car - there is absolutely no issue, all connections properly end up in car's audio system.
I've found a workaround - found an app which presents a widget on the screen allowing to end and reestablish BT connection to my car. But as every workaround it has a drawback, I need to perform the operation twice, not even saying of taking the phone out of my pocket etc.
There was also no issue when I was using my previous phone LG G6 with Android Pie and AA installed from apk file. The car and watch were the same as now and there was absolutely no issue with phone calls being not redirected to car audio.
Can anyone share any insights on how to fix it ? It looks like some flaw in Android' or MIUI's logic to push phone call stream to the BT device which actually initiated/accepeted the call.
Thanks in advance for help.
Same here with a SEAT bluetooth system.
I discover that the problem is in the health app, if you disable permisions to telephone, contacts and registry of calls, it works, but you loose de number identification of incoming calls in the watch and you can't call through the watch.
Regards.
That's a huge lost TBH, do you suggest it's a bug on Huawei end ? Why did it work properly when I was using LG G6 on Android Pie ?
maybe....it's a bug with app of Huawei and android 11, i had a Mate 20 before the poco and never had this issue but the mate 20 have android 10...
P.D: If you see, when you make a call, the selector of audio source in the call panel variety very fast with watch and speaker...
regards.
Yes, I observed it too - when I answer the call, the audio output device selector makes some quick changes.
