I have an android wear watch. G watch R. Never had any issues with it. Since getting S6 the phone will occasionally disconnect for a short while and the reconnect. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing Bluetooth issues?

glad its not just me but sorry you are having issues. I think the Bluetooth is weaker on this phone.
it is really annoying. My watch spends more time disconnected than connected!!

Actually, both the wifi and bluetooth is bugged and keep scanning nearly all times and battery draining quick. I guess some may also experienced wifi and bluetooth disconnection because of this.
My Pebble loses its pairing to my S6 occasionally. Very annoying. Hopefully its fixed in the next firmware update for the S6.
Had the same issue since I got the phone early April.
I was really loving my G Watch R until the S6 has totally ruined the experience. Worked perfectly with my HTC M8.
I know there's a minor update coming v soon which supposedly fixes the messed up RAM management issue. Hopefully it'll fix this incredibly poor Bluetooth issue too. I'm actually surprised a flagship phone got through quality control without them noticing bluetooth and ram management are so badly screwed up.
If they don't fix it, then I'll be even more annoyed if it's true that LG won't enable the wifi on the watch.
Just got the G925FXXU1AOE3 update om my GSM S6 Edge (SM-G925F).
One of the things listed was an improvement in connectivity with accessories so I'm hoping this will be resolved now! So far so good.

Didn't fix sh** on my watch. The first few hours was a false dawn. I have the phone on a desk next to my laptop and within 10cm of my watch and it keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting.
Sometimes the phone just will not reconnect and the only way I can reconnect is by turning bluetooth off and back on.
Totally ruined my experience of my watch. Feel like just taking it off now as it's become useless, hoping the latest Android Wear update whenever it comes for the G Watch R may fix the issue but that's wishful thinking as I'm convinced it's a Samsung issue as I had zero issues on my M8.
I use my S6 and my Gear S all the time, never have any issues.
My Tmobile S6 has started doing this again. It did it about a month ago so I did a factory reset which cured it, until yesterday. Now its started again, seemingly out of the blue. Nothing has changed for anything, yet its doing it again. Anyone find a real cure for this? On 5.1.1.
My AT&T S6 still has this issue, any know how to resolve this issue???
I use a moto360 (1st gen). Same issue. Only solution that works for me is a reboot of the phone. The disconnects happen on all my devices, so my car (2015 mercedes) and heartrate monitor (Scosche) have disconnects as well. Therefore this has to be a problem with the S6 itself. Maybe it's not very happy with a 24x7 connection with the watch, as this issue seems to only/mostly affect Android Wear users.
I wish there was an autoreboot app that could reboot the phone every night.

I am really getting tired of my bluetooth headset not staying connected. Has anyone been able to figure out why both the Infuse and now my Skyrocket both lose their connection to my bluetooth headset during the day? It will connect to it (manually) no problem in the morning but after awhile it just loses the connection to my device? No ryhme or reason and the only way to get it back working again is to turn BT off/on again. Is the BT hardware in the phone just a piece of dog poo or what?

If you are using the same B/T device for both phones then I would be highly suspect of the device, not the phones. If it is fixed (not sure what folded means) then good...
Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but has anyone come up with a solution to this recently? I've been having similar problems recently. When I turn bluetooth on sometimes, it just hangs and doesn't turn on. I have to restart the phone. This has been happening more and more recently.
If it has something to do with the 2.3.6 update, is there a way to roll back to 2.3.5?
Wait, there was an update to 2.3.6? Did you get that OTA or is that from an alternate ROM? Mine is showing as up to date at 2.3.5 running stock.

I got it OTA about a month ago. Apparently AT&T pulled it, though.
Honestly, I see no difference between the two.
I have given up on Bluetooth with this phone! I actually went and bought a decent set of wired headphones incase I need to use them to talk handsfree.
On a more pleasant note (Lol) my new Galaxy Note is superb on my Jawbone and my car. Nice to use Bluetooth in the car again.
The skyrocket definitely has a Bluetooth issue. I had it before and after the 2.3.6 update.

BTW, where does one typically go to file a complaint? Would I go to AT&T or Samsung? They have probably heard of this issue already, but I figure one more person reminding them wouldn't hurt.

Is everyone having bluetooth issues in an LTE area? I think the first time I noticed this problem was around the time LTE was turned on in LA... or after the 2.3.6 update. Since people w/o the update are having the problem.. maybe it's related to LTE?
I started a similar thread a while back, but the mods moved it to accessories: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342831
There are definitely BT issues with this phone. I returned two because of the BT failing completely. So far so good with the two I have now. Some BT devices work better with this phone, but some don't work at all; it's very picky about what devices it works with. I have the Motorola HX550 headset, it works pretty well with that. Mine does not work well with Blueant, Jawbone, Motorola H17s or HX1s. The Blueant and Jawbone headsets worked, but voice dialing sucked because volume on confirmations was too low to be heard.
It's not LTE related; we have no LTE where I live. It's also not 2.3.6 related.

Thanks for clarifying the LTE theory. Thought it was worth a shot.
When you say you have two devices, do you mean two Skyrockets? I'm thinking of visiting the store, too.
Yep, I have had 5 skyrockets. 3 returned and I have two functional SRs now.

Ok I just got the watch and had major issues with the first one so I exchanged it.. This one works alot better but it appears it can't keep a connection, it says it connected but some apps stop being able to communicate.

Hrmm... I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help here except to mention that I am running the SW2 with a Nexus 5 as well and I frequently connect a bluetooth headset at the same time and I haven't run into any bluetooth connection issues so far. I've had the watch for 2-3 months now, I do remember having to update the firmware once when I first got it... perhaps reset the watch and check to see if you have the latest firmware?
I have problems like this too. This watch seems to have interference issues. My bluebuds X constantly disconnect when I'm on a call with my SW2 connected. Worst part is they never make a sound, I just stop hearing my caller, and I eventually check the phone and see they've been dropped to the headset and I've been talking to myself.
Music also disconnects the headphones occasionally, but it's not frequently enough for it to be a big problem. Calls on the other hand disconnect like every 30 seconds.
Update: I no longer blame my SW2 for this issue. They headphones disconnect when the watch is not connected. The phone disconnects from other A2DP devices. I'm blaming my phone now.

With the Android 4.4 update problem has gone.
Same for me, my watch disconnect ... from my Nexus 5
But the last Android version (of course, it's the Nexus) doesn't solve anything.
I hope a lot has been done with the following SW2 firmware to solve this issue.
My wife was having disconnect issues as well using MIUI rom, then she moved to CM and no more issues
Sent from my KFAPWI using Tapatalk
I have the same issue, BT-connection suddenly drops out, mostly after some notifications happen within a short period of time, after which only a reboot of the watch gets it going again. So to me it looks very much like a watch-problem, not like a phone related.
I have same problem.
On phone it looks like connected but on watch is not. When tried to turn off bluetooth my phone reboots itself.
Start to happen after last update, my first tough was sth wrong with my rom. Reinstalled my rom, still same. Finally returned to stock and problem persist.
As it happen after last update it looks is related. Yesterday I got smartwach update but not resolved.

Cell standby drain while on WiFi is driving me nuts, poor data handling is driving me nuts, and weak bluetooth? Really? The only time I can achieve decent battery is off WiFi and that's ridiculous. So many fundamental issues that shouldn't be occurring on a brand new smart phone in 2015.I really thought I was going to become a Samsung convert, but this is unacceptable IMO. Also not to mention all the banter between Samsung and Verizon blaming one another makes me believe that an update isnt even close. Has anyone heard any news recently? My patience is wearing thin.

I fixed my cell standby with a factory reset. It's 2nd behind android system for me. WiFi stays on all the times. Haven't had a problem with my battery since the reset.

I'm not sure which helped me more on the standby drain, enabling VoLTE or a factory reset. They both seemed to contribute. I'm with you on the weak bluetooth. Not really sure what would be the fix there...routing higher mA to bluetooth radio? Idk honestly, just asking the question.
Dumb question perhaps, but if I use a backup app like Helium, then do a factory reset, would restoring everything from Helium defeat the purpose of the reset since I'm potentially restoring something buggy?

my cell standby is much less on my replacement unit and staying below android system but my release day unit it stayed on top all the time unless wifi was off.
still looking for a software update though.
it would be nice if there were updates for things that Sammy could just push versus waiting for Verizon approval. i have a Windows Sammy on Verizon for example that received the 8.0 to 8.1 update from Microsoft in Aug of 2014 and after every other carriers released it before 2015 the Verizon update came in March of 2015. crazy
I just tried a factory reset thinking maybe the issues were because I had so many apps disabled. But I'm still getting high cell standby. Question does everyone have HD voice on or off? And are you on global mode?

i also have a lot of apps disabled. i'm on global with HD voice off because with it on, i get terrible call quality. i'm surprised people don't notice this.
but anyway, i never use wifi so i don't notice the cell standy issue. however, for the first 5 days of owning the phone, i didn't have a SIM card in it so i was on wifi 100% of the time. there was never any battery drain issue. in fact, i had terrific battery life, going on almost 6 hours of SOT. now after putting in the SIM and being on LTE 100% of the time, SOT is a little over 4 hours only. still decent, but wifi was much better and had no battery drain issues.

Thank you!!! I was having some serious WiFi issues, but only on my home WiFi, the WiFi at work was fine. I've tried just about every modem/radio firmware from 44S to the current trying to figure out the issue. Of course, the one thing I've done the past few days is leave BT on, which I never had done in the past. Just ticked WiFi off, and boom, no problem now at home! Very odd bug, but it most definitely is very, very real.
Hello,
I'm posting this elsewhere too to cover a greater user base in the hope this is a more widespread issue among us s6 MM users.
This happens with most wifi points and isn't down to signal strength and is random. My phone will freeze briefly which is frustrating enough and normally whilst checking twitter or something then I glance up to see no icon for wifi or data... then 4G appears.. then wifi reconnects. This has certainly come into play since MM.
When I upgraded to 6 I did OTA. Felt it wasn't as fast as it should be and reset. Still not convinced I used Samsung smart switch to wipe clean and flash clean.
Am I alone with this glitch? It happens most days.
