Wifi slows down drastically when Bluetooth is enabled - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey pals,
I just purchased the creative soundblaster roar, when I experienced a really really slow wifi speed when the device is connected via bluetooth and the music is streaming.
I am on newest euphoria. Does anyone has similar problems with the opo?

[Q] Anybody using stereo bluetooth?

Hello everybody.
I am bit fed up with that problem.
Everytime when I am listening (or watching) over stereo bluetooth and connected to wifi have some problems.
Instant interupptions after few minutes or even seconds sometimes.
So my question is if anyone of you have some bluetooth and can listening for example internet radio when connected to any wifi without trouble.
If it is over 4G there is no problem at all.
I am pretty sure that from hardware site it is that both wifi and bt chips are in one.
But can anybody confirm on CyanogenMod or any other that there is no problem with that?

Last I checked, our current CM builds have problems when both bluetooth and wifi are enabled at the same time. It's being worked on.

Thanks a lot Jax184, as this is very important to me.
I will only go for other ROM if that will be sorted.

[HELP] Bluetooth & WiFi Issue

Hi,
I'm from Italy and I have a Nexus 5 black (16GB). I have bought a BT speaker, the KTS-07, and it has BT v2.1. I connected the speaker to my N5 via BT and my N5 is also connected to internet via WiFi. When I try to listen music or surf on the net the WiFi connection goes down. The problem is the speaker, I mean, more correctly the BT connection.
I tried to connect the same speaker with my laptop and with a Kindle Fire HD, and in the same scenario of my N5 the BT connection and the WiFi connection work great... So, there is a problem with my N5, for sure.
My router has only one band at 2,4 Ghz so I can't test the WiFi connection at 5 Ghz. But, my N5 is affected by an issue between WiFi and BT connections, right?
Anyone has noted the same situation? Thanks for all!
...up...
No one with this problem?
Hello,
I tried to do the same test with a LG Big and a Nokia 520 and they have the same issue.. What does it mean?

[Q] Bluetooth problems when WiFi is enabled?

My buddy has this tablet and LOVES it... except 1 thing. He listens to Pandora over Bluetooth headphones. If he uses Cellular data, all is well. If he goes over WiFi... it start cutting in and out.
I found this article:
http://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-reduce-interference-between-wifi-and-bluetooth.844241/
Which basically says trying to change the WiFi channel on the router.
He is thinking of returning the tablet but I'm curious if anyone else uses WiFi + Bluetooth (earbuds, gamepad, etc) at the same time and notice any slowdowns, lagging, stuttering, etc...
Thanks!
I often listen to Spotify over wifi with Bluetooth en now and then it needs to rebuffer. Just now and then. Does it also happens when he listen to Pandora without Bluetooth? I read somewhere that the Bluetooth protocol could also be the cause instead? Just checking because i am interested also in that matter.

Is the V10 also experiencing bluetooth problems?

Is anyone else here having a problem where bluetooth switches to loudspeaker when playing music?
I want to find out if this a general EMUI 8 Android 8 problem or if it is specific to the Mate 10/Pro.
For more details, here is the original issue thread for the Mate 10 Pro:

No Problems,Bluetooth works with headphones as long as you hear
Yes, there is such problem.
Wifi and connectivity speed drops even when Bluetooth module is on, without any devices connected, and becomes hardly usable.
Thus if you intend to use any Bluetooth devices together with WiFi, this is hardly a device for you. This is especially the case if you intend to use any of the smart watches of fitness trackers, that become hardly usable due to the repeated disconnections.
I don't know if this is a EMUI related problem, or not (installing Lineage may void my warranty, and i intend to return the phone), but the problem is quite persistent.

I was looking for some answers to my problem and I think this could be related... As you mentioned, when I have bluetooth connected to my earphones, the wifi connection speed drops a lot. It depends on the router though... I have a Virgin SuperHub 2 (UK) and it drops to 4-10 Mbit/s or so... I have done some test at work with a Netgear 6800 and it something like:
No bluetooth: 90 Mbit/s down / 90 Mbit/s up
Bluetooth connected to earphones but not playing anything: 67 Mbit/s / 90 Mbit/s
Bluetooth connected and reproducing music: 27 Mbit/s / 80 Mbit/s
Just checking the speed tests on my phone with the superHub 2 at home, it drops to 7 Mbit/s if it's connected to bluetooth and at around 100 Mbit/s if it's not...
Is there any software fix for this problem or is it a hardware problem?
Thanks!
I've ended up returning the phone, as I use a pebble watch and a fitbit m the time, and a headset in the gym, and then WiFi became intolerable.
I really liked this phone, but after 10 days of looking for a solution I've ended up returning it.
bluetooth phone calls not working
The problem is bluetooth audio for phone calls isnt working, i tested this
in 3-4 vehicles as initially thought this could be problem in the vehicle.
However i noticed the same issue in all vehicles. So this is definitely not
a vehicle issue. the phone audio on calls isnt routed via the vehicles (pairing is fine) -
however if play a song through a music player on phone, it works fine.
i have tried restarting phone several times and also deleted all pairing
and re-pairing the devices, i deleted the bluetooth data/cache as well but
no success..
Anybody have this issue on the honor view 10 ?

I further tried resetting the network settings, still same problem, hi care diagnostics tell me bluetooth is fine..strange!
I am on B160 and no Problems with Bluetooth or Wifi at same time enabled.I test on 2 Vehicles calls works and play Music with the View 10.I test with Youtube over Wifi with Bose Headset over Bluetooth,all working without any Problem!
Hm, I use BLK-L09 and I didn't notice either of those problems. Bluetooth calls work beautifully with my car's built-in bluetooth thingie and I can use WiFi with no problems while using my Mi Band 3. I use Carbon ROM though
I'm on a BKL-L04. I have not experienced any issue at all with bluetooth. I have an LG Urbane connected all the time. I stream music in home and in my vehicle and bluetooth has never caused me any issue - even with wifi on (and wifi does not slow, at least to my perception). Times when I've used my bluetooth headset, I still haven't had any bluetooth issues. (I came from, and still own, an Honor 8. I could barely leave the room with my headset connected to the Honor 8 before the signal would start dropping. No such problem with the View10. In fact, I have much more range in my house on my headset on the View10 than I did on the 8). My View10 is completely stock, no root.

Hi my problem with bluetooth started all of the sudden , it was working fine all the while - it isnt anything to do with using with wifi.
The problem simply put is bluetooth pairing and song streaming works fine, but through bluetooth phone calls audio isnt working - very strange!

Bluetooth audio choppy on wifi connection

Guys I have a Gionee A1 phone working flawlessly as my secondary phone.
Phone isn't rooted.
Since few months it is acting weird.
When I play Youtube or any online videos on phone connected to a Wifi and audio connected to a BT speaker or BT earphones, the voice is very choppy, skipping, stuttering and disturbing.
Earlier it used to work simply great.
The same earphones and BT speaker works flawlessly on my other phones.
But this doesn't happen when I do the above things on Mobile data connection.
I tried various tricks and solutions as below but none worked...
Factory reset
I upgraded the firmware and also downgraded but the issue still remains.
In Battery optimization do not optimize BT ad YT.
Clear data for both BT and YT and Wifi.
Battery saver mode is disabled.
Browser upgrade/ YT app upgrade etc.
Apart from this, there are no other issues with the phone at all. even calls etc work fine on BT earphones. The camera, battery wifi etc all wok flawlessly.
Is there any conflict arising between BT and Wifi connection within the phone?
I dont have any other wireless devices in my house at all.
Kindly help to resolve this minor looking big issue..
I think there is not much you can do.
From my experience with Bluetooth I can say it always failed for some reason. Like when bt mouse becomes unresponsive/skips when laptop is under load, or bt speakers (in home or in car) having choppy playback for no apparent reason.
The bt connection is so sensitive and it can be disturbed by other radio operated devices.
What you can try is using vlc player for music playback when connected to bt speakers.
I found this most useful, as it uses buffer in best way to prevent skipping/choppy playback.
Second idea is to unpair/pair your device and it should work fine, for some time at least...
Third thing you could experiment on is in Android settings, go to Developer options and change settings in the bt section (bt codec, bt sample rate, channel mode) to see if there are any improvements.
