I'm noticing some challenges with Bluetooth especially when connected to multiple devices. I had my box controller plugged and when adding some Bluetooth headphones, the controller's connection breaks and reconnects every few seconds. Similar things happen if it's connected to my laptop via Bluetooth for the phone companion app in windows. Anyone else having a similar experience?

I keep experiencing the problem on my Transformer.
When I listen to the music using my bluetooth speaker connected to my Transformer, the WiFi connection becomes extremely unstable and the download is suspended. Once I stop playing music or shut Bluetooth down, everything just go well.
I've learned WiFi and Bluetooth do clash as they are using same frequency. But there should be some technology to prevent it. Wifi and Bluetooth can work well on my Galaxy S together.
I'm wondering what is the actual problem.
Thanks!
yes, very annoying.
Playing Youtube videos while using bt headphones causes the videos to stall frequently.

can someone try with bluetooth 2 or 2.1 headphones? They reportedly have better wi-fi collision avoidance protocols.
No issues here playing Youtube with stereo bluetooth.
EDIT: Scratch that. Got a pause. Seems to get stuck and buffers.
EDIT2: Nah. It buffers without bluetooth connected too so must be my connection.
Happens all the time to me on my Evo. I use it to play music through my car's stereo, but the instant I'm close enough to my home's wifi, Bluetooth cuts out. I think it's an Android thing, not something specific to this hardware.
Look for Bluetooth coexistence on your router and hope your bluetooth headset supports the feature too. I think the Transformer's Broadcom radio will automatically enable its coexistence feature if it detects the router using it. I don't know why they decided to make Bluetooth around 2.4 GHz too.
Maybe I've just never figured out how. Maybe a way doesn't exist.
Here's my problem and subsequent question: I only have two devices to which I connect my N5, my bluetooth earpiece and my car stereo. Whenever I connect it to my car, and then come inside and have to use my bluetooth earpiece, I have to open up bluetooth settings and click the earpiece to initiate the connection. Same problem vice versa. What I would like is for it to just recognize and automatically connect to each device. Is this possible?
I can't think how to describe this without just launching into what happens.
In the morning I connect my bluetooth earbuds and listen to a podcast while walking around the house getting ready. When I get in the car, I turn the earbuds off and connect my phone to the Android Auto capable head unit, via USB. After arriving at my parking spot, I turn the car off, disconnect the USB, and turn the earbuds back on. Usually at this point I have to tap the volume up button in order to hear anything (I suspect because when nothing is connected, I keep the media volume muted, and the phone gets confused swapping from AA [which I think uses bluetooth for audio] to nothing to bluetooth). I then walk the rest of the way to work, usually taking about 10 minutes.
Nearly every day, just as I arrive at work or after I get into the building, the audio cuts out. The only way to get it to resume is to completely power off the earbuds and power it back on. Occasionally I have to go through re-pairing, even. I've had this experience with two different bluetooth devices from different brands (JayBird and Jabra).
Any ideas? :/
Are you paired with any devices in the building and do you disconnect the bluetooth from the devices before leaving proximity?.
Bluetooth will try to connect to a device if the signal was dropped instead of disconnected. If 2 devices are in the area Bluetooth seems to go cuckoo if the have existing dropped connections. You're not alone. My obd2 and smart watch constantly have fights with each other over my phone. It's a pain.

I don't have any paired devices anywhere near me when the audio cuts out. The only paired devices I have are:
Bluetooth control button (in car)
JayBird BlueBuds X (at home)
My car head unit (in car)
Jabra Elite Sport (in use at the time)
So I would say I am some 500m away from the nearest paired device when the audio cuts out.
I have a bluetooth speaker at home, and also use bluetooth in my car.
Whenever I get in my car, and start listening to music in the garage, it will usually start playing on the speaker in the living room.
I have to manually disconnect, and then reconnect the car's bluetooth.
Also, I might be watching a video on my phone, and the living room speaker will all the sudden connect. I want to avoid this as well.
I could disconnect the speaker, but it will just reconnect on its' own later.
I feel like there should be a way to designate a device to never connect automatically, and only ever connect when I request it.
Also, ideally, allow one device to kick the other one off. So, when my phone detects the car, it should disconnect any other devices.
I hope I explained the problem well.
Does anyone have Bluetooth issues on their OnePlus 7 pro? It keeps randomly thinking its connected when its not and will start music that was paused or start my Trigger tasks that turn off wifi, turn up the brightness, and max out media volume for when I'm connected to my car. Sometimes while in the car it will randomly think it disconnected and do the opposite functions it is very annoying. Is there some sort of Bluetooth fix for this?
I should probably mention that it does this when none of my paired devices are even on or in range
Yes, On Tmobile and it happens when I am on a phone call. It will switch from BT to the phone speaker without a warning. It is affecting my job as well now. No solutions I have seen.
