When I'm in my car and my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth, it occasionally disconnects for no reason. It happens sometimes when I'm not on a call and has also happened twice in the last two days when on a call (not very cool).
I've had my car for 5 years and gone through several phones without an issue so I can only assume it's the phone not the car.
Anyone else having this issue?

I've seen it happen once in a while w/ my Huawei Watch. I've noticed that the BT icon completely disappears from the status bar when it happens despite Quick Settings showing it as on. Tends to resolve itself after a few seconds, so I'm not sure what's going on.
If you're running Marshmallow, that could be the issue. I have connection issues with my car since upgrading to Marshmallow on my Moto X Pure. I had to:
- delete the all phones from the car.
- reset my Bluetooth on the phone (delete all connected devices)
- reboot the phone
- reconnect phone to car
It seems to work.
I had an issue where iHeart and Pandora would disconnect and connect off and on until it completely disconnect streaming to my Kenwood headunit. I would get a looking for connection message. What was going on was that my Edge was connected via wifi at my house. It was picking up xfinity wifi hotspots off and on until there were no more in range. For some reason it wouldn't switch to mobile data. So now I turn off wifi before I leave the house and the problem is gone.

I think I found a solution, go to app manager -> click more (upper right) -> click reset app preferences. Didn't have any problem in last 2 days.
not sure how will this help...but i had the "1.FM Radio" app on my phone for internet radio...and ive noticed that once i removed it bluetooth stopped dropping and connection was stable...for some reason i believe this app was the culprit.
Bluetooth is working fine now both streaming and calls...no drops ! Yaaaaay !
Try it guys...if you have this app...remove it !
I have had nothing but problems with the bluetooth on my G7 edge and my wife G6. It randomly disconnects from my cars bluetooth and disconnects from my Gear S2 watch every 10-15 minutes. It's annoying with the watch because I keep thinking I have a message but it's just vibrating to let me know it disconnected. I had a Nexus 6 for four months and never had a single problem with the bluetooth. It sucks because I really like the camera on this phone. What a POS.

You call it a POS, while saying there are some things (camera) you like. Obviously it's not a POS if you like it.
I've not had issues with my bluetooth, it does disconnect from my car once in a while, but only when I'm not actually playing anything through bluetooth. My Gear s2 stays connected as for my bluetooth headphones.

It's not just this phone, I have a 2015 Subaru WRX STI and sometimes it will be fine for days but other times it can happen a couple times on an hour drive, where music will just stop playing, my head unit locks up until I toggle bluetooth on my phone. This happened with my S7 Edge, Note 5, HTC 10, Nexus 6P, and more though.

Happens a few times during my morning commute. I'll be listening to a podcast and using Waze, and the audio from both drops.
Bluetooth is still connected. At this point I can wait it out (usually a minute or two) ... or turn BT off/on again ... both usually resolve the issue.
It's happened since day one - and my previous phone (HTC Inspire 4G, running stock and CM7) never had this problem with my radio.
Anybody else having this problem? Any suggestions on a fix? I know Goog changed the BT stack in 4.2 to improve "reliability" ... but this is driving me crazy.
I've been using my bluetooth regularly in my car (09 TSX) and not once has it dropped/stopped playing music. Whether I'm streaming from Tune-In or just from the Play Music app it always works. In fact it worked for my 3 hours road trip this past weekend without a single issue!
No issues with phone calls either.

I just set up bluetooth in my car yesterday. The audio and call quality is great, but I did have it drop out once. When it dropped out the phone locked up and I had to reboot in recovery. I'm running completely stock and have not rooted.
Try turning off WiFi , mine was cutting out whenever a wireless network became available. I turn off WiFi when I get in my car and have had no issues since

I have my creative WP300 stereo connected via Bluetooth to stream music. it appears that the bluetooth connection kept dropping every a few hours of use. I had no problem with the same headset on my Sprint GS2 (Epic 4G touch). Just curious if there is anyone experiencing similar thing? Do I have a defected device? Thanks,
I have my GS4 paired to my Kenwood DNX9960 headunit in my truck and every time I get in my truck, only the "Use for phone audio" is checked, not the "Use for media audio". I have to open up BT settings on the phone and check the media check box and it connects right away. This is so annoying, it should just connect both profiles automatically.
the media portion of auto connect is determined by the music app.... i use power amp and have no issues with it auto connecting, but with the stock player no luck.

I too have upgraded from the GS2 and I have experienced drops with Both of my New Devices (2 S4's). I have a Dual XML8150 Head Unit in my vehicle. Neither of them Auto Connect. Sometimes the music will play for the duration of my travels, However most of the time it drops the audio in a few minutes (less than a song few minutes), however the 2 devices are still communicating (meaning I can play/pause basically). I do not use it for phone calls so I can't report how it works on those. A few times yesterday it would happen almost immediately, and one headset wouldn't even play audio from the onset (although I could still communicate (Play/Pause). Once I would disconnect from Bluetooth, the audio was confirmed playing on the headset. I have not tested this problem out with my Plantronics BB903+ headphones, but will today.
So a final note to wrap it up. I'm at my 14 days. Even though Im only rooted with TWRP, I'm doing the full reset on both devices and i'm going to test it out today flat stock. In addition to the Bluetooth antenna/radio, None of the Antennas (surprise, surprise Samsung) on this phone seem to be very strong. It seems that one likes to connect to 4g more than the other. Same place, same tower ones stuck on 3g and one on 4g (according to RF signal tracker). Even a data off/on doesn't seem to force it over and im sick of seeing the "can not establish a data connection" popping up in the middle of doing anything. I can't forget to mention the Dropped calls, probably more in 2 weeks than in several years. I had an S2 since the first month it was out (Typical Lame GPS, and crazy menu key was about it) I briefly used an S3 (Asurion Claim), and the troubles I had with my S2 were gone with the wind, so I figured the S4's have to be even better....Well, any troubles today, and I'll let you know what happens at the sprint store tonight.
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!
Is my car stereo or is it the phone.
It keeps dropping calls when I am talking on the phone - eg it losses Bluetooth connection to the car stereo.
I suspect the phone because I have an LG urbane watch which I have set up as a unlock the phone if in range device and at odd time I need to put my pin in
Any one else have the problem
128gb Chinese version
Apart from this issue the phone is amazing - 2 days battery life plus!

I think there is a problem with the bluetooth also, i also try to use it with a LG Urbane and i always get notifications with delay up to 5 minutes, just like the phone stops comunicating with the watch..
Have VW Discover Pro Radio in my car and it works with the Mate 8 L29-B152. Unlocking if connected, calls and music is working without losing the connection.
Dont feel like starting a flame war but every samsung phone i have owned since the moment has had the worst of the worst bluetooth for audio. Trying to see if they have their **** together yet.
Issues im referring to specifically.
Every samsung phone i have owned will randomly fail to reconnect to my car stereo about 1/4 the time when starting the car, no other phones have had this issue.
Intermittent connection drops with bluetooth headphones (wifes note 4 still does this at literally less than 2 feet away skipping and dropping connection).
Ridiculously short range like 5' and im dropping connection.
Prone to interference. My brothers s6 edge is awful on his motorcycle with bluetooth, something is interfering causing tons of connection issues and interferance, every other phone is fine.
This still going on?
I have never seen any of these issues with any of the Samsung phones I've owned and I've had every one since the s3...
I have 2 different cars that my phone pairs to without an issue every time I get into. I used to use a bluetooth FM transmitter in one of my older cars with my s6 and it connected and played music perfectly every time with amazing clarity. I use a bluetooth headset on my s6 and now my s7 with no issues, and range is great (phone in living room and I go upstairs with the headset and lose no quality and does not disconnect). I'd say you have a faulty device but it is unlikely you've had that many faulty ones... I honestly can't see any reason you'd have such bad luck because they literally work perfectly for me every single time. I've used it in 4 different' GM cars, a lincoln, and a Nissan.
This phone connects far more consistently than my HTC One m8 did.
My Galaxy S7 does take longer to automatically connect to trusted bluetooth devices compared to my old G3. Also when listening to music through a bluetooth speaker it will get really really choppy sometimes. Annoying...
My VZW S7 connects instantly when the car is turned on. Then drops out after a second. Connects again after about 5 seconds after that and stays connected the rest of the time. The only problem I'm having is that none of the metadata (song title, artist, etc) information is displaying on the car's audio display. It plays the music, but doesn't show any of the information about the song. This used to work on my HTC One (M8). Any ideas? I have a 2015 Nissan Murano SL.
