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.

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?
So I use bluetooth for both phone and music in my car but my phone pairs to two separate devices. For the phone it pairs to my Audi MMI system and does so correctly every time. For the audio I have it pair with my Blackberry Stereo gateway which is hard wired into my aux input.
The issue I'm having is that if I'm connected in both Headset (Audi) and a2dp (Blackberry gateway) modes, the music will start to skip after a minute or two. It works completely fine for a few minutes, then I believe the phone is going into some sort of sleep state as it'll begin skipping fairly often. If I turn the screen back on, the skipping goes away. The strange part is that if I disconnect the pairing with the phone, the skipping never happens. It's almost as if there is enough juice in awake mode to correctly power both bluetooth connections, but if it's in some form of low power sleep mode, it's not able to handle both connections so the bluetooth audio skips.
I've also found that if I'm paired to both, the call quality over bluetooth is slightly lower with a bit of crackling/garbling, but not nearly as bad as what I get with the audio. I can deal with the phone side of the issue, but I can't listen to music that skips every 5 seconds.
Anyone else have this issue? I wish I could set it so the phone wouldn't sleep when paired to both devices! I don't mind a bit more battery drain while in the car if my phone is actually usable for what I want to do with it.
I have a bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) as well as a JVC car head-unit which connects by Bluetooth.
I've used both successfully with my GS3 in the past, but right now, although I can get incoming audio on both (as well as media playback), but on both, nobody can hear me talking. I've tried unpairing and re-pairing the bluetooth and head-unit headsets, but I still have audio in, not audio out.
I'm bone stock, not even rooted. Any suggestions?
I got it working, I just had to unpair ALL devices on both sides, turn off bluetooth, restart the phone, then finally turn bluetooth on and set everything up again.
How is the Bluetooth audio quality on the S6? I use many wireless headphones and speakers so this is an important factor for me. Is it true that the Bluetooth audio randomly stops sometimes?
Mine randomly starts to skip and pop after some time playing. Turning the BT off/on fixes it for a while.
The problem is worse when paired with my Bēm speaker, rare when paired with my JBL speaker, and nonexistent when paired with my Sony soundbar.
All of these speakers work fine with my other devices.
I only use bluetooth with my truck's stock stereo, but this is the first Android device I've had paired with it that doesn't skip over BT. I've used it with S6, Note 3, Note 4, S5 Active, S4 Active and iPhone 6+. iP6+ was the only other one that didn't skip.
S5 Active and Note 3 also skip with a Jensen BT Nav headunit in a different vehicle.
An update to my previous comment..
I went for an hour-long drive and experienced no skipping or popping while paired to my car's stereo.
It seems the issues are only with specific Bluetooth receivers/speakers.
I can get on-board with this. I have a few different bluetooth devices, all of which have no trouble, ever, but then sometimes (and ONLY sometimes) my BT headphones will skip and stutter to the point that I just turn them off. The other devices work fine 100% of the time.
I'm at my wit's end with the bluetooth on this device. It skips and stutters more times than not. It's embarrassing when friends are over and we're trying to have some background music playing.

No BT problems here. Maybe you have a defective phone. Take it back to the store and try to exchange it. There is no excuse for crappy BT on a $700+ device.
My wife has an S6 also, with the same issues.
I have FINALLY noticed an issue with the BT on my phone. When connected to my truck and listening to music, I go to a call (incoming or outgoing doesn't matter), when the call ends and goes back to the music, the volume "flutters". It goes low/high/low/high alternating twice a second. It's a very slight change, but it's enough to notice that it sounds "weird".
Exiting and restarting PowerAMP, or switching to a different input then back to the BT audio stream will fix it, so I haven't figured out if it's the phone or my truck.
Hello, my name is Zineron, more known as Zinnye. I just fixed a MotoG for me, it works normally, except the audio. The phone keeps Switching between Wired Headset and Speakers, I only noticed that after i went to watch some videos at youtube, and the sound kept failing, because of that bug. The thing is: I can still watch videos, listen to music, play games, but only when the headset is connected. If the Headset is not connected, it keeps switching between Speakers and Wired Headset.
I've been searching around the internet a while, and i found a lot of people with the same problem, but with them, the bug only happens when the headset is connected, so they couldn't help me.
My phone is a MotoG, running android 5.0.2(Lollipop), and it's not rooted or anything.
