My wife's G has an interesting issue with bluetooth. When in her car, the bluetooth works flawlessly. When she gets home and the Panasonic phone system connects to it, about 30 seconds into a call the phone switches to Handset. My Moto X Pure is also connect to our Panasonic system and I have no issues. Her previous phone Galaxy S5 had no issues either.
I have reconnected and removed each device from the other and reconnected but still same behavior.
Any advise?
Upgrading to MM fixed the problem! Under MM the phone works as good as my Moto X Pure. Fantastic phone.

So I got my edge 2 days ago and I have it paired to my LG tones Infiniums and my LG watch R. Every so often my watch disconnects and my tones do as well. The tones reconnect instantly but I have to turn the Bluetooth off and on just to reconnect my watch. I had no problems having the two set up with my s5.
Anyone else experiencing any similar issues with their bluetooth?
I have a VZW edge and have experienced similar issues with Bluetooth dropping (all 4 of my) connections. I read an article about clearing BT apps cache and/or wiping the phones cache partitions. Neither have worked.
I have my Plantronics BT earpiece connected & the connection has never dropped off.

bluetooth drop
I have the s6. Bluetooth drops and reconnects to my headphones, g watch r and car. Did not have any problems with the HTC M8.
I'm having the same problem with a Galaxy S6 (non-edge) with a 2014 Honda Odyssey. Used bluetooth for a year with this vehicle with an S3 without any issues. Now, the S6 constantly disconnects and reconnects, shows call history from 4 months ago, or gets into such a state that bluetooth is so wedged that only a reboot of car and device will get it to re-pair.
I've found a number of threads searching online. This is not just a Sprint problem. Verizon S6s have similar issues. Not sure if this is a hardware problem or an Android problem...
I've got the same problem with my S6. Connection drops constantly with my G watch R and my car.
I had the Galaxy Alpha before the S6 and it connected perfectly to both my watch and car.
Pretty frustrating.
I've had some luck with clearing cache for Bluetooth and Bluetooth test in app manager. I can keep connections all day long without drops, but i still have the weird call history problem.
I have an S6 on VZW and I am having all kinds of issues with the connection to my Ram truck's UConnect system. It will randomly drop connection, then re-connect. It will do this mid-call sometimes, forcing me to drop the call.
I am rooted, running CleanROM 1.5, but I had the problem on the stock ROM.
I previously had an OG Moto X then the 2014 X and never once had an issue - it always worked perfectly.
Is there some bluetooth setting on the phone that can be tweaked to allow this to work properly, or do I need to get a new phone?
TIA.
Hi, I make my comparisons versus my Gear 2 and just what seems reasonable.
With my Gear 2 I could be in another room in the house, a good 15 meters away and no issues, with the S2 (especially with the new function of vibrate on disconnect) it constantly drops when I move room even sometimes for no reason.
Also setup the WIFI option as a backup but again half the time it shows the WIFI signal as poor and I am sat right near the router, which is working 100% fine with everything else (i.e. mobile, laptops, tablets, tv.)
i get the same, bluetooth just disconnects , don't know why. also bluetooth music earphones cut out and range poor
I have exactly the same range problem on galaxy s6 edge plus with all bluetooth devices.
It's shocking , if Samsung don't fix these issues soon , will switch to fist android wear device with lte , there lucky the urbane 2nd got discontinued
A hard reset helped but still disappointing
Just picked up a standard Gear S2 and updated the firmware. However, it's constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to my Galaxy S7 edge. Bluetooth stays connected for all my other devices. Any tips?

I'm having the same issue with my S2 Classic, but I've got a SGS7. Both are running stock software/firmware. My issue started a couple days ago, so I'm thinking an update was applied to something that introduced this issue. I am hopeful it will be fixed in a future update (sooner than later).

How often is yours disconnecting? Mine was every few minutes. Today it's been flawless. Weird.

I have the same problem and it is very annoying, bluetooth keeps disconnecting from my car, specially during calls and then tries to reconnect again. This never happened to me before in any smartphone so this is a specific problem from the S7. I tried clean cache etc. but the problem continues. Sometimes the call can go 15 minutes without disconnecting, other times it disconnects 2 times in 5 minutes, but it happens everyday twice at least. This is a very strange problem, can't find any solution. It is driving me nuts specially in a 700 euros phone!!
not only on S7
It's the same here with a Gear S2 Classic and a Huawei P8max. A few minutes after being connected (manually) the Gear disconnects.
I just switched over from my S7 edge to a Moto Maxx I had in a drawer - no disconnects today. Gonna swap out my S7 Edge for a replacement I guess.
Replacement didn't disconnect until I switched on high accuracy GPS. When I switch GPS over to power saving, the disconnects stop (so far).
Anyone else noticed a correlation with high accuracy GPS being turned on and frequent Bluetooth disconnects?
After working with three different S7's (2 edge's and one regular) as well as a Droid Maxx, I found that the phones would regularly disconnect when I had High Accuracy GPS set to on (with disconnects occurring multiple times per hour). If I switched the phones to power-saving GPS, disconnects would never occur.
Not sure why this would be but I don't recall it happening before the latest S2 update. I have always used High Accuracy GPS because I use the Tile app which requires it....HOWEVER, the disconnects were SO irritating, I guess I'd rather lose my keys and/or wallet because I turned the GPS to power saving to eliminate the disconnects because it was SOOOOO annoying.
PROBLEM FIXED -Bluetooth on gears2 /note 5 keeps disconnecting
Hi guys,i'm new to this forum. Came across it a few days ago when i needed assistance. I have been wearing my gear s2 classic and note 5 for approx. a year now . As of last week it kept disconnecting and connecting every five minutes which became really frustrating. I was missing important calls and message as my phone is on silent and gear on vibrate mode. After trying numerous attempts of clearing the Bluetooth cache and even hard reset watch and phone twice . It still did the same. I contacted my buddy over at Samsung headquaters is South africa to confirm my warranty date on my note 5. Thats how far i was heading, to return the headset for a new one. Luckily my warranty expires in October 2017. He then advised me the following
1) Check gear software updated - My gear was updated.
2)Check phone software updated- My phone was not updated.
So i got down to doing the update, size was around 1.4 GB
A fast WiFi connection will take approx. 15 minutes.
Had this done 2 days ago
Problem solved :good:
Phone looks and feel way better with the updated software and Gear has not disconnected since then.
Hope this helps.
Please share .
I'm starting to suspect it's a problem with my S7 Edge. I had the Gear S2 connected to a Nexus 6P for a couple months and never encountered connection problems. It's only since I switched to the S7 that I started getting the sporadic disconnects. I've tried changing my GPS settings but there doesn't appear to be a low power mode on the S7 edge with 6.0.1 stock so I just kicked down to the basic GPS only and turned off wi-fi and bluetooth location.
Not impressed so far.
also happens on S8+, but not on Note4
This is happening on my S8+ also.
It also doesn't work properly with my car radio and microphone (I can receive calls well enough, but issuing voice commands is a nightmare).
I had the Gear S2 and car radio connected to my Note4 before. They worked perfectly.
I will try lowering the Location accuracy. In any case, looking forward to upgrading to Note8 in a few months when my S8+ contract ends.
Hi Everyone,
I came from a TMobile One Plus 7 on 9.5.5 and changed it into the international version running 9.5.7, since doing so my phones bluetooth will work but it disconnects every 30 seconds. For instance in my car it'll connect for 30 seconds, and then disconnect, then connect, and disconnect, it does this over and over and over again.
I tried unpairing and repairing, it worked for a bit and then the problem continued. I tried kicking it to airplane mode, problem continued.
Any one else having this issue?
Haven't encountered this myself on 9.5.7 or any other version. Might want to just try a restore to see if that will fix it.
All fine here, pure international version though
I'm on T-Mo too and got my phone sim unlocked and went to the International version 9.5.7 yesterday. I did NOT unlock bootloader or root so I don't know if that matters. In any case, I use 3 BT devices (one for work, home, and in the car) and I have had no issues with BT at all.
Definitely try a restore. Something could be messed up in the software especially if it was working fine while on TMO.
This is one of the many issues I am facing as well. I connect to blue tooth in my car, either through the car stereo, or a head set and while talking on the phone it will just randomly switch back to the phone speaker. It is super annoying when I am on the phone and it seems like the other person hung up, or I lost the call. I have had multiple business calls that I was on where the other person hung up and I could not get back in touch with them.
