Hi all,
I have HP iPAQ 514 with TomTom 7 installed on it, my goal is to hear all the TT's voice instructions through my bluetooth headset.
I've experimented with several settings as my headset is A2DP enabled, the result is that my phone is not fast enough to run TomTom and encode A2DP at the same time, so in the bluetooth settings of the phone I've unchecked Wireless Stereo and left only Hands Free checked for my headset.
Through standard hands-free profile it works, but with lags, i.e. I hear about 1-2 seconds sound from the phone speaker, then it's switched to my headset. Sometimes, if an instruction is too short, it switches even after playing it, so I don't hear anything. After a few seconds of inactivity, it switches back to "standby" mode.
I've found out I need to keep the connection between phone and headset "alive" to get rid of those lags - e.g. by playing music in the background, then there are no lags as the connection is active. But playing some sound (even playing "silence" just to force permanent connection) means extra load for the processor and the memory, and is very unpleasant. Is there any other way to keep my phone permanently connected with my bluetooth headset, not in just lag causing "on-demand" mode?
Thanks a lot.
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.
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.
I have had the airpods for a few months and I have the rare problem that when I go through an area that, I think, there is a lot of interference, my phone (this only happens when the screen is blocked) my airpods begin to receive interference and stops getting sound to them, instead, the music continues to play.
I sense that the problem is the phone and bluetooth, that somehow when I turn off the screen lowers the intensity and loses the connection.
I have other wireless headphones and they also received interference but I never stopped playing the music completely.
Has it happened to anyone else?
Thank you
First of all i tried to google my problem and used boar search. Unfortunately no effect.
For some time I have the problem that when my Nord connects with the Bluetooth Fm adapter or with my Bluetooth headphones, the device is muted, that is, no sound is played. From time to time this also happens during disconnect. Annoying somehow, constantly make louder. 10 times a day.
Does anyone have an idea?
