Hi all,
Been reasonably happy with the z3 so far but I'm having problems with Bluetooth connectivity, specifically in my car. I'm used to an iphone, which works flawlessly, but the z3 only seems to be able retain a connection for 10 mins before slowly reconnecting. It's become frustrating as it restarts some of my tasker profiles(?).
Has anyone else had similar issues? Are there any known fixes for this?
I've tried turning off stamina, wifi, bluetooth timeout, display timeout, re-pairing my device - nothing has helped!
Cheers,
Russ

The normal Stamina mode (not ultra) won't disconnect any connection just limit background process.
This can be bug in firmware So try to repair it by PC companion
+ and a question; is this happen with another bluetooth devices or just with car?
cause if it happen with car it can be software compatibility & ...
Thanks for the reply. I thought I would update.
I did try checking for firmware updates but I found a different solution shortly after. I downloaded the 'Xperia Z1 Bluetooth Fix' from the google play store, installed it and selected the Tune2Air device (when it was in range). Since then I've had no reconnecting problems! I have no idea what the app has done but it has completely solved the issues I was having. I suggest giving it a go if you are having similar symptoms. :good:

I get this all the time, constant every couple of seconds when connected to my Mercedes Comand unit..
I will download this app and test it out, hopefully it sorts it.
I have Volvo V40 and when I step in my car with my bluetooth on, I see on my Z3 Bluetooth connect and then disconnect. This repeats all the time. When I then disable bluetooth and enable, the problem is gone. I don't know for sure, but what I have see on my car's phone menu, although I get these disconnects on my phone , the disconnects are not noticed by my car. But again, I didn't look into that yet. Do you have similar problems?
Hi all,
Great to know im not crazy bcuz im having the same issues in my toyota as the volvo. My phone automatically tries to pair & sometimes this works flawlessly, yet other times it connects, stalls, then spends an age tring to reconnect & all the while the cars head unit still perceives a connection. What i hav noticed is that i get great connections (fast & from where i left off) when i pause before switching off my car. If i dont pause then i need to manually connect even if the phone says its pairing with my car. Iv come from a nokia n8 which worked flawlessly however i could not control the volume from the phone which i can do from the z3 & i was wondering if the problem could be with either the phone or stereo having conflicting memory of what was last played, volume level , etc. As there must be data stored somewhere on either or both devices.
Look at this page for an explanation of Sony, seems to be a problem from the bluetooth version of the car:

I dont think its necessarily the car as the problem i outlined is resolved if i pause the playing music before cutting power. I should correct an earlier comment. My problem is with playing music from my phones harddrive via a player such as the native music player, vlc music player, music visualiser, etc rather than streaming music so im not sure what peolpe using cloud services or internet radio can do.
Does anyone know why pausing the music before leaving the car is necessary when in my experience using bluetooth 3.0 didnt require this?
I remember reading a while back that Google Music had added gapless playback support, but it's not working for me (either on my phone or computer, actually). All the digging I've done says if you enable the equalizer it will be fixed, but I can't figure out how to do that at all. Can anyone tell me?

It's also started playing music when it connects to my car stereo much less reliably. I used to get in and a few seconds later I was streaming music. Now, BT connects and a lot of the time it never plays a song at all, other times it will automatically take one but take as long as 5 minutes, and occasionally it will immediately start playing. What's going on here and how do I make it work the way it should?
Hi,
I have a LG G Flex 2 and since a few days the audio keeps pausing at random moments. I listen to a lot of music on my phone and this is really annoying.
It seems to be happening at random moments but sometimes it just pauses right after i have told it to un-pause. I have logged out of my google account and back in again but this did not solve the problem.
It is happening with Google Play Music, Spotify (those are the only two media players i use) and sometimes also with online video's.
Anyone has a solutions for this problem? I would hate to have to put my phone back to factory settings.
I'm running android 5.1.1 (rooted) software version V15c-EUR-XX
Are you streaming all of your music?
If that's the case I'd say it's a buffering issue and the best solution to that would be to download your music and store it on an external sd.

i'm streaming some of it but the most music i have on google play is saved on my phone
Same issue
Hey! Thanks for starting this thread. I have the H955 and I have been having this issue as well, with Spotify. It does not matter if I play downloaded or streamed content, the player randomly pauses all the time. I am on MM unrooted.
Update: I also eliminated a lose connection, used the auction on my music system to play music and it stops as well. Also tried a new pair of headphones and I am having the same issue.
Cheers!
I have the most bizarre issue.
I have only noticed this while watching something on Netflix, basically I'm watching a video, doesn't matter which through my bluetooth headphones and after about 4 minutes or so the audio stops streaming through the headphones and begins to play through the phone's internal speakers.
I check the status of bluetooth at the time and it says my headphones are still connected, also I would normally hear a message while wearing them to say the phone has been disconnected if that was the case. Now nothing plays through the bluetooth headset not even the system music app and the only way I can get it working again is to switch bluetooth off and on again.
I have tried uninstalling Netflix
I have tried re-pairing the headphones, I still get the same issues.
If I don't use Netflix at all and just the music app I get no dropouts.
I have only noticed this since the last update to marshmellow and not pointing fingers in that direction but it's just around that time it started playing up.
Phone is an xperia z5 unrooted E6653
Android 6.0
Kernal Version 3.10.84-perf-g19d6d92 [email protected] #1

I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if possible, do any of you guys here have alternative suggestions?

Hello xda,
I recently put Bluetooth into an old boombox from the eighties. It works great, except with my galaxy s4.
Bluetooth keeps on disconnecting, rapidly reconnecting and disconnecting again whenever I try to stream via Google play music or YouTube for example. My s4 disconnects the bluetooth device whenever the audio takes too much time to start streaming, which is always the case as I have a poor internet connection.
Why do I think it is related to the time it takes for audio to start streaming ?
- The boombox works fine with local files on my galaxy s4
- Streaming audio works fine when my s4 is connected to 4g or faster wifi, when there is no long buffering before a song starts playing.
- It works fine on all other devices I tested (nexus 10, laptop, moto g....), even when music has to buffer for 30+ seconds before it starts playing.
Pausing a song works fine though, and it stays connected for hours when nothing is being played
It must be related to my phone, it has the original Samsung lollipop firmware but it is rooted and has xposed installed (of course).
A factory reset is not an option, I have done way too many tweaks for that.
Has anyone been having this problem?
Is it possible to install a newer/different Bluetooth firmware?
Or does anyone know an app/ xposed module that prevents the phone from disconnecting a bluetooth device on it's own ?
Thank you in advance,
nxss4
