I have read countless issues with Samsung devices when using bluetooth the wifi dies or becomes very erratic.
This is a new device I pair a Bluetooth Keyboard and the wifi disconnects. or is very slow then disconnects, etc.
Everything I read talks about Sidesync but I don't see it in the list of installed apps.
Am I missing something else?

I am having a very odd issue with my X10. My phone crashes when ever I am on my bluetooth headset and trying to use any app that accesses the internet through wifi.
Crash scenario: I take a call on my headset. While on the call, I try to use an app that tries to access the net over wifi (i.e., gmail, facebook, email, calendar, or browser), but the app would hang or not be able to get access. I end the call and still no traffic.
- 1. I go to the settings menu and it's super slow to access any options. I get to the wifi settings and the phone freezes. I have to shut down via power button.
- 2. I go to the stock wifi widget and turn wifi off to restart it. A crash occurs and the phone reboots itself.
Possible causes: Conflicting hardware. Software bug. One or more hardware failure.
I have used the BT headset with my SE P1i and SE X1a. Both work perfectly with the headset. Both phones connect to the same wifi router without incident also.
I've tried to solve this problem all day now and I'm out of ideas. To think that such a glitch is possible boggles my mind. If anyone can give me any input, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hardware I'm using:
Phone: SE X10i
Headset: Jawbone Prime BT headset
Router: Linksys WRT120N (Rev. Unkown)
I've been using the SGS2 for a good few days now and really loving it. However, I've noticed an intermittent problem with the Bluetooth and WiFi.
WiFi problem:
I have connected my phone to my home WiFi but sometimes it does not connect when I get in range or after turning on my WiFi on the phone. If I then go to settings and long hold on my WiFi connection and then select 'Connect to network' it will then obtain an IP address and connect. This is intermittent and doesn't happen all the time. I would say the problem occurs more than 50% of the time.
Bluetooth problem:
I have a Motorola S9-HD bluetooth stereo headphones. I mainly use it when watching videos and listening to audio books. I already have it paired so when I turn it on, it should connect and play all audio through them. When I click the play button, it should fire up Winamp and start playing the last audio file I was playing at the exact location it last played up to. The SGS2 sometimes fails to fully connect. I have to find the device in the Bluetooth list and long hold and then select connect to network. Again, this happens around 50% of the time. Occasionally, even when it has connected, it still does not play audio through headset (but the audio isn't even played through phone). Switching off headset and switching back on normally resolves it.
Both scenarios work pretty much flawlessly on my SGS1. Also, both Bluetooth and WiFi problems seem related as they are so similar.
Anyone else having similar issues or could explain why this might be happening on the SGS2?
Well, BT & WiFi both use frequencies in the 2.4 GHz range, so if you're using both simultaneously, they may be interfering with each other. You might try setting up your WiFi to use a different channel; your router's config pages should allow for that. Or you can use a 802.11a connection if your network supports it; that uses the 5 GHz band, so it won't interfere with BT.

No, not using them at the same time. I use WiFi when I'm at home and only use my Bluetooth headset when I'm out. WiFi is turned off on the phone when I leave home so it shouldn't doesn't interfere. The other thing is that everything works fine when I do the same with my SGS1 so the only change is my SGS2 handset.
If there is WiFi or Bluetooth interference then why does it not exhibit on the SGS1?
I did try rebooting the phone and power cycling the headphones initially but this didn't work. Strangely it all started working after a phone reboot and has been working perfectly since.

Hello, I have a smiliar ussue. I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 and when I am using the bluetooth for listening to music in my car ( I have a Ford Focus with bluetooth), the music plays and stops all the time. I've try it with lots of programs and does the same thing with all. Also with any king of bluettoth speaker.
Did you solved the problem?
Thank you.
I have this strange issue with my G4
It's my workphone and i use it in my van with hotspot-starter app.
i get in the car, turn on ignition and my phone connects to the inbuild handsfree system.
The hotspot-starter app toggles the hotspot so my tablet wich running navigation has internet for live traffic information......
This worked flawless with my previous phone but with my G4 the tablet won't stay connected to the phones hotspot, it keeps connecting and disconnecting every minute or so. But when i toggle bluetooth off and on again everything works fine and keeps working without any problem.
It seems like if the bluetooth connection is made before the hotspot is turned on, the hotspot fails to maintain a connection....

Interesting; haven't seen this. A possible workaround is to use Bluetooth tethering vs a WiFi hotspot to deliver internet connectivity to the tablet. Works great, connects faster and has a side benefit of consuming less juice on both ends. I use a similar config due to the crappy G4P GPS receiver.
Is it possible to use 2 bt connections simultaniously?
Handsfree set and tether to the tablet?

Give it a shot. It is certainly possible to establish multiple BT connections simultaneously. I occasionally use a BT keyboard, mouse and speaker with a cheap Amazon tablet. Doesn't miss a beat.
OK..... I got bluetooth connection made between phone and tab, checked bt tether on both devices otherwise it won't connect at all....... But no internet passtrough ?

Hum, sorry to hear that. Make sure WiFi is disabled on the tab. Have to believe the fault lies with the tablet as I'm able to successfully tether several different devices (individually) to my G4P via BT. Works a treat and cuts power drain on the G4P by half meaning I don't have to keep it on charge during longer trips.
Hi There, since July update I have serious bluetooth issues.
As also reported by other users when you want to share the internet connection (tethering) via bluetooth the bluetooth app crashs.
it es even reproducable.
So as I was not able anymore to tether and bring my car online (toyota touch and go) I tried to switch to Wifi Hotspot, which works fine.
however yesterday I recognized that when Wifi hotspot is activated audio streaming via bluetooth is interrupted every few seconds.
anybody else here with same experience?
any workarounds avaialble?
how can I create a bug report and submit to Xiaomi, is this even possible?
thanks
and brgds
Anyone else notice the wifi connection suffers (eg starts buffering when watching YouTube or Twitch) when the phone is connected to a Bluetooth 5 device (headphones)?
My phone does this, as soon as I switch from WiFi to mobile data it's fine. Or disconnect the Bluetooth device it's fine. Also if I use an older Bluetooth 4 device it's fine. I've got two Bluetooth 5 headsets and they cause the same issue.
Just wondering if other ppl experience the same?
