A bluetooth car connection feed-back problem, can anyone offer any help, please?
Bluetooth does work, in both directions, however my own voice feedbacks extremely loudly through the speakers, and the voice of the second party comes through only very quietly. This renders conversation almost impossible.
I'm connecting to a 2011 Volvo. For the past year it's been connecting flawlessly with my Dell Streak without any issues at all. But for some reason I'm having these problems now that I've moved over to the Note.
Problem solved (well, sort of!). For anyone else experiencing the same issue; it turns out that "Total Recall" call recorder was the culprit, causing the problem. With Total Recall deactivated bluetooth works fine. So ... now to find out why that should be so...

Weird issue with new HTC ROM (version no. below) - anyone else got it or know a fix?:
If I make a BT call with WiFi on, the BT crackles and flits every second.
If I turn off WiFi it is perfect.
If I set WiFi to 'Best Performance', all BT devices are lost and disconnect.
If I set it to 'Best Battery' or the middle setting, BT devices reconnect.
VoIP calls via Bluetooth now crackle themselves to death, because such calls use BOTH Bluetooth AND WiFI simultaneously - shock horror!
(Updated post above with VoIP issue)
i was having the same exact problem, took me couple days to realize it was the wifi. Only thing ive been able to do(motorolla s99 stereo) is make sure my headset is FULLY charged before pairing. And (no fix here) i shut the wifi off when im in the field. There is a bug there for sure. Is it just too much for the phone to track the 3g, wifi, and duplex on the BT?

I have exactly the same problem. BT works great with my headset (Plantronics 8XX) and has good range and is very clear. My WiFi works great and has a good range BUT if I have both turned on my BT is useless. BT devices are not visible more that 30cm away and there is a major crackle even at less than 30cm. Took me a while to work out why my BT headset would not pair with my TyTn II and Plantronics could not help. Used to work with my previous TyTn II OK, so I did a hard reset and then BT paired fine. Then I realised it was simply that hard reset turned off WiFi so I wasted my time doing hard reset when turning off WiFi was solution.
I called HTC and they can't or won't help but they did say they would log it and look into it (do we believe them? ;0).
The BIG PROBLEM for me is using SIP/VoIP as this uses WiFi of course but because of front speaker issues on TyTn II it is very hard to use without a headset and sound it just not good enough most times to use on my unit. So BT headset is the answer but can't work due to this WiFi/BT issue.
I am going to try flashing various different radios this afternoon as some members said this may help but from what I have read on this forum it does not solve problem completely.
If not then it's back to my wired headset and looking like an 80's teenager when I am using VoIP.
Also I wanted to install Navizon and earn points driving around with my WiFi on but this would mean no BT headset so I can't do this.
This really is an annoying bug.
If anyone has a fix or has found something searching the forums that my searches have not found then pls let me know.
Thanks.
Hi, I am happy with GPS on my galaxy s and it seems to lock in very quickly. I have a slightly different issue which is a pain for me. With my HD2 I could connect my phone to my stereo via bluetooth and play music. While doing this I would use the GPS for copilot. With the galaxy s though as soon as the GPS fires up the BT connection with my stereo is dropped. Does anyone else have a problem like this? or am I being stupid and this will not work like it does on the HD2.
Cheers
Yes, I get this problem too!
I've posted eleswhere on this forum about it, but got no answer as yet. I'm using Plantronics Backbeat headphones, and thought they were just 'losing touch' with the SGS randomly, but since reading your post, I find they work fine until I use the GPS & then voila - no bluetooth connection to the headset anymore. The GPS in my SGS also works fine, BTW, unlike many others, by the sound of it.
Unfortunately, while I can commiserate (& feel a little happier knowing what's causing the Bluetooth 'drop-out'), I can't offer any solution, as I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a coder/programmer. Sorry.
My phone is connected to my car and whenever i get call waiting, it will switch to phone's speaker. It bugs me out so much. Any solution?
Thanks guys.

I am also experiencing this problem. I previously had a Note 3. After a software update on the Note 3, I started experiencing the problem that you describe. When wearing my Plantronics Bluetooth earpiece I would lose connection with the phone whenever I received another call (call waiting). If I ignored the incoming call it would lose connection right after the incoming call went to voicemail. If I attempted to answer the call, the Bluetooth connection would also disconnect. After much frustration, I contacted customer support. Customer Support advised me to upgrade to the Galaxy Note 4 claiming that it would solve my problems. Unfortunately I am still having the issue. Not only do I have issues with the Plantronics earpiece but also in my car. I never had these problems until the update from 4.2. I am on the verge of returning the phone and trying my first Apple product. Frustrated!!!
All over the net I'm reading about Bluetooth issues with the Note 4 and G3. From what I've read I'm thinking there's an issue with the new Bluetooth 4.1 standard. Meta data problems with a range of vehicle head units and device discovery issues. Not isolated to any one carrier or Bluetooth device.
So I went to the T-Mobile store today with a new Bluetooth earpiece that was dropping connection when a call waiting call came in. The associate there turned off the "Voice over LTE" setting and my Bluetooth connection began working correctly on my earpiece and my car. Weird....
I think i fixed it by clearing cache and data under Bluetooth sharing app. No need to turn Volte off.
I was good for a few days after turning off the "Voice over LTE" setting but then my Bluetooth issues started occurring again. Went back to T-Mobile store and after some research by the store rep, he cleared the cache in the "Bluetooth Share" application and everything went back to normal. So yeah, clearing the "Bluetooth Share" cache will fix this issue.
Just to open with this - I really like this phone and have been enjoying using it. Aside from the fairly poor WiFi range and the flaky NFC it is otherwise a really nice phone. There's just one other issue I have which is extremely frustrating:
I can't use it with my Airpods. Or at least, I can connect it but at some point the sound will crackle and cut off. If I wait it will occasionally crackle and come back on again but will cut in and out in a way that would drive anyone mad. I've tried fiddling with Bluetooth settings in developer options but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I've even tried a factory reset.
The Airpods work absolutely perfectly with every other device - no issues with the iPhone (expectedly) nor the S8, G6 or even my laptop. I can't 100% rule out a fault with the Airpods but given these facts it seems highly unlikely.
I wondered if anyone else used Airpods and had experienced issues and found a solution.
Not too interested if you've had no issues with your device, nor what you think of Airpods - I just want to see if I can get to the bottom of this, or the Nokia will have to go back.
Many thanks
Similar problem
Got a similar problem with my apt-x receiver.
Every few minutes the connection drops for a very short time.
The airpods don't support apt-x, but maybe it's the same problem.
My receiver shows a connection via apt-x, , but you can't find any apt-x support in the Nokia 8 specs.
But I had no problems with a friends portable speaker (non-apt-x).
I went back to cables

I’m wondering if the Nokia 8 just has rubbish connectivity, generally. If the Bluetooth chip is part of the WiFi chip then this would figure as it has the worst WiFi connectivity I’ve seen in recent years
Are you running Nougat or Oreo? From what I've heard, a lot of the bluetooth issues have been fixed in Oreo.

I wonder if yours is wonky, my Wi-Fi is excellent and i get get 75Mbit down 19Mbit up over 5Ghz through 2 brick walls, a floor up and at the opposite end of the house, i have not missed any payments using contactless via NFC and Bluetooth works fine via an Anker Bluetooth speaker and my JBL Bluetooth headphones.
Sorry for digging an old thread, but I still have the same problem even after a bunch of software updates.
My issue with the AirPods is that they do not work after they connect. I take them out of the case, they connect (as expected), but as soon as I start playing something the music/video pauses and the sound switches to speaker (if I press play again it plays out loud). To make them work I need to go to bluetooth settings, disconnect them and connect them again. Then they will work almost flawlessy (minor intrerruption from time to time).
I have no issue with other BT speakers. I also use the AirPods with an iPad and laptop and no issues there.
My Nokia 8 software is up to date. AirPods firmware the same (checked on the iPad).
I tried re-pairing after each software update. I tried changin BT settings (absolute volume - dev settings; contact sharing and HD Audio: AAC) but no improvements.
Any ideas what else can I try?
Search for Oreo and Bluetooth problems. It seams to be a general issue for this Android Version. I have problems connecting my Phone with the car, too.
Hi,
I am having some issues when I talk with people thru my car's bluetooth.
When I start a call, after a random period of time, the people that I speak with are telling me that they are not understanding my voice which is becoming like a robot. During these calls, if i change the sound output to my phone and revert back to car, my voice is becoming clearer but it is happening in almost all my conversations.
Did anyone encountered a similar issue or know a possible fix?
Thanks,
No issues here
This one is okay it's my first case.
Feels plastic~e (if that's even a word.. ) but hey whatever protects the most expensive phone I've ever bought. Only thing I don't like is the hole for your fingerprint.
if anyone alse encounters bluetooth issues with phone calls / car. When you use stock Phone app you dont have this issue. Also you can enable bluetooth gabeldorsche from developer options to ensure smoother bluetooth connections...
