Bluetooth connectivity issue in BMW

Hi all! My boss has the Edge + (as do I) and is having all sorts of issues with the bluetooth connectivity in his BMW. It keeps dropping in and out. The calls don't drop; the bluetooth drops and then reconnects. He's a business owner and makes tons of calls from his car, so as you can imagine, this is quite frustrating (and embarrassing).
Anyone else having similar issues?????
Appreciate your help.

I'm actually having similar issues now in my Ford Fusion. It will connect, but won't let me make calls or listen to music. When I attempt to play music it will say that BT media has been disconnected. Upon checking the status on my phone the media turns off, but the phone is still connected. However, neither really works. It's frustrating as it worked for several days when I first got the phone but then suddenly stopped.

Audi mmi works great. Maybe call your dealership and see if they have a update for the system?

My advice for the BMW is to check the firmware update for the specific model of car of your boss on the BMW website
It is not very much intuitive but I can assure there is this possibility and also the new firmware download is possible
I've been using a Note 3 for two years on my BMW 530 and at the beginning with their old firmware I had similar issues, then it was very stable with both music and phone calls. Now I'm using the Edge + without any trouble

No problem with Bluetooth on my Toyota Auris Touring Sport HSD, sometimes sms are not showned but they are well received by the car when I check them, and calls work fine. So as dengi_it told you maybe a firmware issue with your car.
I heard somewhere BMW and Mercedes will have some discussion to link iPhone and cars together maybe they won't support Android phone anymore in the future :s.

Thanks, all. Going to pass along this advice. Appreciate it!

Tell him to buy a new car!

Yes, I have the same issue in my 2015 M5. Bluetooth is essentially unusable after the latest update (OH5). This phone is going back.

UPDATE: He factory reset his phone and it seems to have fixed the issue. ::fingers crossed::

Bummer. Are you swampping out for another S6 Edge + or a whole new phone all together?

This is my second S6 Edge+. I thought it was possibly a hardware defect with the first but after the second one I am led to believe it's a typical shoddy samsung update. A factory reset will fix the problem for a few days and it will begin again.
Picking up the new iphone 6s+ on Friday. I've had enough of the bluetooth issues.

Sorry to hear. Good luck!

Works fine in 2011 Hyundai Sonata.

I am having a lot of Bluetooth issues on my Elantra. Works for few days and then it just fails to connect and I have to delete my car from my phone and from my car stereo just to get it to connect. It is a freaking pain in the butt. This is my second Galaxy S6 I have gotten and it seems mostly to be a software issue then a hardware one.

Yotaphone 2- Bluetooth issues with microphone

Hi and sorry if i do not found such a topic in some discussion. I tried to search but didn´t found it yet.
My problem is that i have a new Yotaphone 2 YD201 with latest update (as far as i know) 1.1.124 , which i got OTA.
And i´m not sure if this was happening also before the update, cause i didn´t tested it before with Android 4.4.
The problem:
If i set up a call or got a call and talking some times over my bluetooth headset, the colleagues asked me that i sound like under water.
Sometimes it happens within minutes, sometimes longer...
If i switch to the mobile phones microphone everything is working correct instantly.
I tried several bluetooth headsets, which are working well on other android phones.
Then I tried the soundrecorder SW which is on the device and found out, that the bluetooth sound isn´t recorded well, means it´s very dull and quiet.
If i put my voice directly to the mobiles microphone (although bluetooth headset is still connected), the recorded sound is louder but still far away from a good quality.
But it doesn´t change, if the bluetooth headset is switched off and the soundrecorder is used directly without bluetooth headset. Still very dull and quiet.
Can anybody please test this with his Yotaphone 2 YD201 to check if only my phone has a problem, although i do not believe that it is a HW topic.
Is there some known issue or bug regarding this topic and has somebody any idea how to overcome this problem, cause without using a bluetooth headset, the phone is unaúsable at all for me.
Thx and nice evening
Cheers
neo

Meanwhile i contacted the Yotaphone Support and there was a very fast answer.
Problem is known by Developers. They are working on a fix and keep me updated.
So, lets see if and what will ever happen...

Hi Neo,
I have the same probem with my Yotaphone 2.
I bought the new Bose QC30 Bluetooth, the sound is very bad for my contact.
I found something working : plug the headset Jack, and then test to phone by bluetooth.
if the jack is plugged when the bluetooth mode is selected (before or during the call), the microphone from the bluetooth is good.
if you unplug the jack during the call in bluetooth mode, the microphone is operating yet properly.
Why ???

same problem here
hi everyone,
is there any update on this issue? sadly cant use my headset anymore.
thx, luke

Isn't there a solution just above?!

Hi, thx for all the feedback- I also tried this CN Radio + the topic with the audio jack but none of them are real workarounds.
It seems that the CN -Radio brings some other issues for me, like unstable LTE connections + problems with SRVCC (switch from LTE to 3G/2G) in some handover situations. These problems were not available before.
So i installed the RU stock again and sorry to say it- sell the phone - It´s a nice phone and for people who do not need the bluetooth headset nearly the complete day- its a very good phone, with a great idea.
By the way- the support from Yota was quite good and they tried to help me as well as they confirmed the bug is known by the developer, but this help that much at the moment- so i´m back with my P9000 now...
Have fun with the mobile and appreciate the ideas of Yota devices...
Cheers

I seem to also have this issue on the EU version. Is it a matter of the antenna? I've ordered one of those cheap 3.5mm jack antennas to try out.
The odd thing is that bluetooth audio is fine with both speakers and a headset, from a variety of distances. I don't understand why the microphone is affected.

I would be interested in how you did that, my gf is getting upset as she can't use her bluetooth handfree set while driving... she has the yd206 model, build EU 1.1.124, i already thought of installing RU buil then ota update to 1.1.134, but i wonder if this would change anything.
Thanks.

any news?

YD206 model too
Hi, I have a YD206 model and same problem with the mic with bluetooth.
I am not sure if I had this problem with Kit Kat, but as I am using bluetooth in my car everyday for my job, I think that problem was from my recently Lollipop update.

bluetooth mic: any news?
Hello, I have the same issue with YD201. Phone calls over my car's integrated bluetooth sound fine to me but the people I speak with say I sound like I am in a pipe or underwater.
Has anyone found a fix?
Thank you!
YD201
Android version: 6.0.1
Baseband version: s01_003_4240_RU1_M05

I did a factory reset on my Android 6.0.1 and the problem seems to have gone away. I did try other radio firmwares before which was a wasted effort.

Bluetooth issue

Hello, I have a rooted P9-lite, when the bluetooth is on and connected to a device, wifi slow down (~2mbps instead of ~15mbps when bluetooth is turned off). Am I the only one who have this issue ? Is it a hardware or a software issue? Thanks for any answers

I have the same problem. I think it's because of interferences between Wifi 2.4 ghz and bluetooth on our phone... I'm currently trying to find a solution but I fear I will fail...
If anyone has an idea...

I have done some search, but I haven't found any solutions. It doesn't works either on fresh stock rom or cm13 by meticulus, so yeah I think there are some interferences between Bluetooth and wifi and I don't know if this is fixable

I know we could fix our issue by connecting to a 5 ghz wifi but P9 lite doesn't support 5 Ghz, am I right?
I'm new to the P9 lite forum btw I have to learn

Yep, no 5ghz support! I think buying a good Bluetooth eadset should solves the problem (mine was ? 60euro)

i also have the same problem n i can't even connect with my car

We're talking about potential interference problem between wifi 2.4 ghz and bluetooth. I guess you don't have wifi on your car?

i have the same problem with my p10 lite ?
once i connect a headsets to my p10 lite wifi drops from 28Mbps to 1Mbps. Tried out different headsets and different routers. Switched channels in the router configuration. Did not help.
None of my other devices (Android or oOS) have this problem.
Do you know whether this os a hardware or software issue?

I suffer the same problem, the wifi speed drops down from 50Mbps to 17Mbps with the bluetooth earphones connected. Very hard to watch youtube videos, buffering all the time.

I have the same problem on my p10 lite. Even with 5ghz wifi!
Only one solution works: disable play services, or rollback to 11.0 version.
(Or disable bt).
Customer support didn't helped with this problem. Suggested hard reset.. Of corse didn't helped.

Huawei P8 GRA-L09 No sound except via bluetooth

Hello,
A few months ago (June/July) I started looking into custom romes for my P8 and found this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/development/rom-huawei-p8-stock-b370-prerootet-t3421507
I did the install and everything else correctly and since then the audio on my phone doesn't work anymore. Even with a new rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/development/rom-huawei-p8-gratitude-tecalote-t3468118
The audio is "fine" and by that I meen I can take and place calls (no whatsapp, skype, discord or anything else) but I can't use the speaker, microphone, earpiece or headphones the rest of the time. [videos and music (all apps included) "play" but don't actually start] When I hookup a bluetooth device the audio comes through like nothing's wrong. I had to buy myself a BT headset because of this and the problem is just getting out of hand. If anyone can help I could use it.
Update: Normal wired headphones work when using the radio app.
Thank you

P10 Plus: BIG problems with bluetooth and correct sync

I've used 3 different phones with my FM radio bluetooth receiver - a device I am forced to use, as my cars bluetooth is too old - it connects for phone calls, but wont connect to my phone to play audio files, hence why i use this device.
LG v20 - no problems. P10 Plus? Different story.
Mid-song over the bluetooth device, it suddenly de-syncs itself and the audio starts playing over the phones loud speaker. Completely unprompted. So I disconnect the bluetooth device inb my car, turn it back on....then it suddenly reconnects with the phone and continues playing the audio without interruption inside my car. This happens several times over a 30-45 minute period.
Bluetooth should just be bluetooth, right!? Can this be a quality control problem? An issue to do with unlocking the device or installing something like TWRP? This combined with the aweful features/stock apps of EMUI 5.1 is really destroying the experience for me. Anyone else had same or similar issues?

I dont have this problem. Bluetooth is very strong and very stable. Try updating your phone firmware it might help
EMUI is very decent. If you dont like the layouts given, you are on android. So easy to slap on a different launcher.

I'd argue that EMUI is one of the main things that stand in the way for more people to switch over to Huawei. That, and quality control. I possibly have a dodgy phone, its just this device I am using has not had problems with 2 other smartphones.
I will update the firmware to 151 (latest in my region) as soon as I know how to do it safely (boot unlock, TWRP and root installed - dont want to lose any)

Similar Bluetooth problem with Huawei p10
I have similar problem with Huawei 10. Bluetooth connection doesn't work with my built in Media system. All other phone devices connect and work fine, but Huawei p10 doesn't work. I just posted my issue here on YouTube. You can find it by searching 'Huawei p10 Bluetooth problem'.

having same issue as yours. music wont play through bluetooth. :/
temp solution is delete cache in bluetooth share in APP and restart your device. but that only works for one time. if you want to connect another time, must do the same steps. I am sure it is a software bug

try powering the device off then hold volume up and power the phone on at the same time and keep holding volume up until you see a EMIUI recovery mode from there select Delete Cache data and when thats done click on Restart/Reboot the device then see if problem remains. I had todo this steps few times when google play store would hang on "Downloading..." status now and then, But when I got B170 firmware for my p10 plus it sorta fixed it and now installs properly.
P.S my issue is different but you never know, this might even fix the bluetooth issue. So it's worth a try.

Can someone please tell me how to connect to paired devices on my P2?
As stated, pairing works fine, but how do you actually make a paired device connect? I can't find any option in the EMUI!?
