Bluetooth bad connectivity - Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers

I have found that my bluetooth range and connectivity is quite poor.
If I have the phone in my pocket and am walking, there are times that audio will cut out and crack. When I have the phone in the car or on my desk, the bluetooth performs normally.
Anyone else experiencing any bluetooth issues like this?

In some areas WiFi interference is pretty bad; perhaps this phone is especially susceptible to this? I've noticed that it works both ways; i.e. the phone (when using Bluetooth) will cause some WiFi connectivity for other devices (laptops etc.) to slow down drastically.

[Q] Bluetooth Signal Strength

I've tried two Motorola and one Jabra bluetooth headset with my Fuze (and with a Touch Pro 2) and regardless of the device and headset the bluetooth range is maybe 20 feet. At that point it gets weak and ends the connection. On the TP2 I can even see the signal strength die as I walk using the built in software. This is without walls both indoors and outdoors.
Are you guys seeing similar results with bluetooth headsets on these devices? Any suggestions?

no it's the hardware spc of the bluetooth in the phone
bluetooth is close range it only send with ½watt
thanks. I could deal with the 32' they mention...I'm 1/3 less than that but I guess it is what it is...
I have the same problem with my jawbone2, even just walking with
the phone in my pocket the sound through the bluetooth sounds terrible on both ends is there a tweak for this or certin settings....on my moto q9h the sound was unbeatable

Bluetooth audio skipping

I am having a problem with Bluetooth audio skipping. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?

Skipping? No, but I have a whole bunch of other problems.
Not playing out through bluetooth after skipping a track.
Randomly shutting bluetooth off
Odds are whenever we get 4.2/4.3 it'll be a lot better since they've made big changes to the bluetooth stack these past couple iterations.

I have the same issue where my BT audio skips :\ Haven't found a fix for it yet
i also have this issue with the droid mini. running 4.4. the skipping seems to stop when the screen is on though.
I've seen the issue where Bluetooth makes Wi-Fi speed plummet. So Pandora would skip over Bluetooth but not over a wired headset. Fixed it by switching to a 5Ghz wireless network. Apparently this is common with Bluetooth and 2.4 Ghz networks

Makes sense, because Bluetooth *is* a 2.4 GHz network.
I notice audio skipping with both BT and wired connections when my phone disconnect and reconnects to WiFi (like, when I am driving home and come up the driveway, audio will stutter.) This happens when I come home from a run, too, while listening to audio on regular earbuds. I hadn't thought to try to restrict 5 GHz, though. Since it happens wired, too, it shouldn't make a difference, but I'll see what happens...
I have the same issue with Bluetooth cutting in and out bad with my Bluetooth LG headset if the Wi-Fi is on. In my case at home I use the 5ghz side of my router for the phones and every thing else uses the 2.4 range. But driving down the street the audio in a phone conversation with go bad either I can't hear them our they can't hear me clear, as if your going through a tunnel. Been going on for awhile since the 12.15.15 update. First thought it was my headset so got a newer model and it did it so got that one replaced just be sure same result.
For now I just turn off the WiFi when not at home wish there was a way to make it so I didn't have to. Maybe the new radio 110 that is rumored to come with 4.4.2 will fix the issue.

I didn't mention it, but in the process of troubleshooting my issue, i did learn that Bluetooth is a 2.4ghz connection.
Anyway, i didn't need to restrict to 5ghz (neither on the phone nor router side), all I did was just connect to the 5ghz network instead of the 2.4ghz one.

Yeah, my router has a single SSID for both networks so I'll need to try restricting it on the phone.

Anyone else experience cooldown mode on 3G?

For the second time now, while talking on the phone and connected to BT wireless in my car, my S2 3G has automatically gone into cooldown mode after getting noticeably warmer on my wrist. Just wondering if anyone else has observed this?
I have had this happen on 3G with a weak signal. I think I have carried over a 30 min conversation over bluetooth.
Thanks for the data point. I may have been in a week signal area. Most of the time, I have no problem over BT.

Bluetooth/WIFI interference

Hi all,
if I connect my Huawei MediaPad M3 to the Bluetooth headphones TX Concerto, the speed of the WIFI drops dramatically, preventing me to watch a movie in streaming without continuous buffering. This behavior is often associated to interference in the 2.4 Ghz between Bluetooth and WIFI, but unfortunately my router doesn't support 5 Ghz (and I'm not sure my tablet does it), so I couldn't test this solution.
However, I was confused when I connected the tablet to the Bluetooth Bose SoundLink, since in this case there are no issues! Distance does not matter: either close or far away, I always get issue with the headphones, none with the speaker. I haven't done specific speed tests yet, but the differences are clear (buffering vs no buffering with the same other conditions).
On the other hand, my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet has nos issues in either cases, so it's definitely something related to the MediaPad (and likely other devices), but I don't understand why only with the headphones and not with the speaker.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Stefano

Question Anyone else having WiFi issues?

I've been having quite a bit of WiFi issues where my connection seems to die, then drop, then have difficulty reconnecting. After a few minutes, it'll finally reconnect.
For some reason, it has less issue with my guest Wifi.
I'm using the latest Verizon Fios routers and range extenders. Other devices in the house, like laptops and other phones, seem to work fine.
I'm also getting garbling in phone calls. It seems to do this a lot. It's quite annoying, especially in BT. BT streaming works just fine though.
My OP7 Pro didn't have any of these issues.
I'm running a TMo OP9 with the latest Europe image. I had the problem on the global as well. I am rooted with some Magisk modules loaded, but disabling those didn't change anything. Neither did resetting the network settings.
Anyone have ideas?
Thanks!
I can confirm im having issues but not on wifi. Im having issues with mobile data speed. BT calls as well when im in the car.
On my Chinese LE 2110 i do not have any connection problems. It's the opposite, super stable an and fast, using a lot of Bluetooth and wifi.

In our Odyssey minivan, BT will drop midcall, then try to reconnect. In the meantime, the call switches back to my phone then eventually back to the BT. It's confusing for a minute.
It's caused the head unit to reboot a couple times as well.
Streaming music over BT though? Flawless.

Exactly my issues. On my kia seltos it happens exactly like that. Midcall back and forth.

Sounds like a bug. Hopefully they fix it. It doesn't seem to have the issue in my Civic, but it's a little newer.
I'm thinking the wifi issue may be my rabge extender. Seems to work better when I'm downstairs closer to the router.
