Strange behaviour after using IR on my S5. After using Smart Remote from Color Tiger I noticed that my phone never stops sending IR signals. I use a mediacenter with the Microsoft IR Receiver so I can see when it receives a signal. Has anyone else see this problem? I think it also has an effect on my battery-life.

I just recently bought a Pebble watch and now my bluetooth connection to my HTC audio dongle has been acting weird.
I have an NFC sticker in my car and when scanned it turns on bluetooth, connects to the bluetooth audio dongle, launches Google Play music, then plays the music.
Ever since I bought the the Pebble it goes through this process when the sticker is scanned, but then the phone disconnects from the dongle and music playback stops. I have a Bluetooth Auto Connect widget on my home screen and when pressed it quickly makes a connection again. I can always add that task to the end of the rest of the steps onto my NFC sticker to reconnect, but why is it disconnecting in the first place?
I'll also note that I'm not using my Pebble at the time, so it seems like it disconnects from the dongle and tries to search for the Pebble. Any ideas what's going on and why it would be disconnecting from the dongle after it clearly makes a connection?
Any help would be appreciated...this is getting super annoying.

The reason it is doing this, is because the Pebble people won't get BTLE (Smart) working on Android, so it has to use the "old" Bluetooth, and it's a single point connect system (it can only connect to 1 device at a time, and switching takes a while to do, and mainly added for music/phone being 2 devices). If they would support Smart, that's a different "radio" (but same chip) and was design to switch VERY quickly and hook to many devices, so you could be connected to both the radio (old BT radio) and the watch (Smart radio) at the same time. This is why I still don't have a Pebble, and won't get one until they support Smart on Android.
My guess as to why it switches, is they're custom app is seeing the disconnect (the connect to the radio) from the pebble, and forcing a reconnect.

So will I be able to have the Pebble and my audio dongle connected at the same time? I'm at work and left the Pebble at home so can't experiment at the moment. It would be a shame if I can't, the main reason for getting the Pebble was to use it as a remote while the phone is connected to the dongle.
But when I do reconnect to the dongle it stays connected and works properly and doesn't disconnect. I'll just add on a pause in the NFC steps using tasker then add in another step to reconnect to the dongle, hopefully this will get it working back to "normal" again.
I didn't realize BTLE didn't work on Android with the Pebble. But what I did notice which is different from connecting to other bluetooth devices is when Pebble is connected to the phone the Bluetooth symbol on the notification bar doesn't have the two little triangles on either side of the B symbol such as when my dongle or other bluetooth devices I have are connected, yet the Pebble is still connected to the phone and works fine. I assumed it was because it was using BTLE.
Thanks for the info
i bought a galaxy s6 edge+ yesterday and bought a samsung wireless Level U headphone. i tried to connect it with bluetooth but it was not work. i tried level U on LG G3 and IP6 its work fine. i tried agains on galaxy s6 and s6 edge+ but its not work.
galaxy s6, s6 edge and s6 edge+ have problem with bluetooth ?
I've had bluetooth problems with mine connecting to my car. It will pair and then after 2-3 connections, it will be unable to connect and I have to repair it again. Might be a connected issue that will be fixed in the future.

Do you use a smartwatch too ? There is a known issue with samsung devices when it is connected to Android Wear. Sometimes my bluebux x would stop working and if I press volume up/down, it will start again. Found out that it happens due to Android Wear app. I disconnected the watch from AndroidWear app and never had that problem again!

I am having trouble with my Bluebud X too. They will suddenly stop working even though the music still shows as playing (but it does not play out of the phone speaker either). I have to turn bluetooth off and on, and reconnect again with the headset to make them work (I have not tried the volume trick - will try that next time). I have Android Wear installed but only because I have a Pebble watch - I am not connecting to an Android Wear device. Do I have to uninstall Android Wear? This is a pain - I have not had this issue with any previous phones, including Note 4.
Our Bluetooth range is dropped down.
Keep your device closer to Bluetooth receiver.
It's bug....they will fix it later

I have the phone in my pocket so it really cannot be much closer to the headphones. If that range is too far then it is a serious bug! I also experience regular wifi dropouts where the wifi disconnects and then reconnects for no reason.
These two problems are frustrating as they affect the basic functionality of the phone.

Try this... Uninstall your Android Wear app (since you do not use it) and goto Pebble App and disconnect your pebble from the app. Now try with your bluebud x. It should work fine. These new phones have some issue with multi Bluetooth connections..

So I have been trying this for a while now and the issue still happens. The music will just stop playing in the bluebuds for no apparent reason. The bluetooth connection shows 'connected' and the music player shows it is playing (i.e. triangle) but the player is not advancing (i.e. time on track is stuck) and there is no sound from anywhere. Any more ideas? Thanks.

In my case, the player never stopped advancing. It was only the sound transmission which wasn't working and once I click on volume up/down, it would start working again till next time. For me, it was definitely the Android Wear. Once I disconnected, it would work just fine. Try using a different bluetooth headset, if you still see a problem, you can ask for a replacement to Jaybird. I've heard they're good with their warranty!
I've had this problem on my last phone as well, not just the Nexus 6P, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me troubleshoot this REALLY annoying issue.
In my car, I have an OBD2 sensor that I use with Dash. It works great while Spotify streaming to my car stereo. It even works fine during a phone call (Spotify pauses), but Dash continues to work while I'm talking on the phone.
The second I end the call, my connection to the OBD2 sensor drops and I have to reconnect the app to the OBD2 sensor. The Bluetooth connection continues working fine for streaming music and phone calls, but the OBD2 to app connection drops. VERY rarely, I end the call, and it continues working as expected.
I don't know if it's the actual OBD2 adapter causing the problem, if it's the phone, or if it's the Dash app. This has been an issue with my Galaxy S6 AND my Nexus 6P, but it was never an issue with my old Samsung Galaxy S3.
Can anyone help troubleshoot? Could it be a ram issue? Too many background apps?
Any help would be appreciated!
Bluetooth and WiFi are known to interfere with each other since they can use the same frequencies, but what I'm seeing is a bit different. When I have my V20 (H910a) WiFi turned on I get Bluetooth speaker interference even when the phone is playing locally stored music and not actually using WiFi.
If I load a page on my PC, the audio from my Bluetooth speaker stutters and distorts. If I turn the WiFi off on the phone I get no Bluetooth interference at all, no matter what my other WiFi devices are doing. This is very consistent and happens every second music is playing and there is WiFi activity by other devices.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I looking at a one-off hardware defect? If somebody has a BT speaker could you give it a try?
Just got my Ugreen CM110 bluetooth 5.0 receiver to use with my 9T with Eu miui 10 rom i believe. works great, except that the range is a joke.
started using normally and got skipping, pauses, artifacts in audio while walking with it. then realized that if i put both phone and receiver in the back pocket it works fine. if i put the receiver on the front pocket, the problems appear.
basically, my body in the middle is enough to disrupt the transmission.
tried tons of combinations of codecs/profiles etc, from the developer options about bluetooth audio, battery saving options, higher priority in player applications, nothing helped.
any tips for possible fixes?
thanks in advance.
