Hello guys,especially those using bluetooth headset. Do u guys experience any audio shuttering issue when u play music and using wifi to suft the web at the same time? It only happen when I have both bt and wifi on.. If I off wifi, audio shuttering wont occur.. Anyone of you facing this issue as well?

Bluetooth and b/g/n WiFi use the same spectrum

This should be unsurprising as both Bluetooth and WiFi (2.4Ghz) are trying to use the same frequency spectrum in a completely different manner. Bluetooth will try to work around WiFi though. If you have 5Ghz capable router, use that instead and your problems will be solved. Another possibility is that if you are stuck with a 2.4G N router, make sure the 40Mhz mode (aka 300Mbs) is turned off, which that turned on there is very little room for bluetooth to work.

Friends ...... , HTC One it seems has a terrible Bluetooth range ....... I have a Logitech BoomBox (Bluetooth spks) and a Belkin Bluetooth receiver connected to my AVR. In both the cases, when connected to my HTC One it looses audio in just couple of feets. Specially with belkin receiver. But when I tested the same with my iPhone 4, it works perfectly, till the Bluetooth's designated range of 30 feet (10 meters) ... with both Belkin and Logitech ....
so it has something to do with HTC One's Bluetooth.
People with HTC One and having any Bluetooth audio device, please test this and report if you are also facing the same issue, Or is there something that I can try to increase the range. Its pathetic, 2-3 feets at the max. I am bitterly disappointed with this ..........
Regards.
Sammy
I think that Android 4.1 had a BT flaw that was fixed in 4.2.
so this means its more of an android issue than HTC One........ any alternatives to improve this, till we have an 4.2 update
I was using bt audio yesterday and it was horrible. I did some googling, try turning off wifi before you connect to the speakers, it solved my trouble straight away. I found if the music was playing when I turned wifi back on it would still be ok. Might help?

Jiggle .... my friend, you made the day for me, how so ever strange may it seem, it did work .... ..... I switched of my wifi and then connected Bluetooth to Belkin receiver and vola!! :victory:... no drop outs and was able to use BT at full 30 feets, and then if I switch on the wifi later all is well.
Strange, if wifi is working before I connect BT, it drops and is very uneven ......... must be some bug, but anyway, solution is not as irritating as one might expect.
Thanks again Jiggle, for you input, saved me a great disappointment.

whew you had me in a panic here. (o; I'm still a little traumatized from my asus T201 wireless issues.
The Wifi/bluetooth issue is a drawback of the aluminum body design of the One. Bluetooth shares an antenna with wifi transmit. I believe wifi receive shouldn't interrupt bt though.
Then there should also be a problem if I switch on wifi after I connect BT. ,... in which case it works. It only creates a problem, if the wifi is first on and then I connect BT. ...... which is strange
Just for information. I had 3 htc, desire hd, sensation, onex and ALL had problem with bluetooth, weak signal, using a headset with the phone in my pocket already failed. I now have a note2 and this problem does not occur, being used in the same situation. So ....

My m7 (TrickDroid, elementalX 0.11 default overclocking and undervolting) is having the BT issue whenever wifi is on, regardless of whether I connect the BT device while wifi is off, and regardless of whether audio is playing when the wifi is turned back on. In other words, on my device, BT really really sucks if wifi is connected, period. Any suggestions other than not to use wifi if I want to use BT?
Update: My router (Netgear wnr2000v3) seems to use 2.4 Ghz channels. Any thoughts about whether swapping the router with a dual-band or 5 Ghz channel router would work around this issue?

I did pick up a new dual-band router and set up the phone to connect only on the 5Ghz band, and it worked! No more bluetooth issues at home. So if you run into this issue, a temporary workaround until (hopefully) HTC/Google provide a fix is to avoid the 2.4Ghz band.
Strangely enough, my Bluetooth range keeps decreasing with each software update. When I first bought this thing, I was generally impressed with how far I could walk from my BT speakers. Not as good as my evo 4g or 3d, but decent. Better than my gs3 and gn2.
Now I tend to make it about 5 feet or so with minor cut-outs while using apt-x. If I put my hand between the signal at 10ft, I can stop it completely. If I touch the upper-right of my phone with my thumb as I hold it in my right hand, I can kill the signal as well. Very much an antennagate going on here just like the iPhone 4.
So my problem is that I only get a downstream of ~50kb/s when I am using Bluetooth. Like connected BT headphones and Youtube. If I switch to 3/4g I get normal internet speed. My router actually tells me that the device is limited to 1mbit while every other device gets their full bandwidth. If I disconnect the headphones, everything is normal as well. Headphones work fine everywhere else, even on my laptop (Also WiFi + bluetooth) I tried like everything I could do routerwise like switching channels, changing encryption. What else could I do?
I recently updated to 4.3 (from 4.2) and the problem still exists.

Does your router have a Bluetooth coexistence mode? Bluetooth and WiFi are in the same frequency bands and can sometimes fight. No matter what WiFi channel you use, it's still the 2.4G spectrum, which Bluetooth stretches almost all the way across (2.4 - 2.48). Encryption is irrelevant (and maybe make speeds worse).
It does seem more like a device specific issue, though, so I would recommend setting factory defaults. If that doesn't work, you can try re-flashing an FTF, but it may actually be a hardware issue.
Fun thing is, the it works on my laptop. It's connected via wifi and I connect my BT headphones and I get full speed on wifi. On my phone it works like a few seconds and then it switches to 1mbit. My router has no functions for BT and unfortunately it doesn't have a 5ghz mode.

It's probably just related to your phone specifically, then. Try the steps I suggested and see how that pans out for you.
Ugh I hate reflashing or resetting stuff in general. Well since there us no obvious solution I'll try to find a solution. Thanks for the help though. I'll report when I found the solution.

Hi all,
I have bought this tablet recently. One thing that does not seem to work, is the simultaneous use of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. When I stream a radio station, it works fine until I connect to my Bluetooth speaker. Then the app loses WiFi connection all the time, and has to reconnect all the time.
I tried other apps, all behave the same. When I use my Acer tablet (same app, same location, same network, same speaker, same radio station etc. etc. ) everything works perfect, so the Asus seems the problem here.
I narrowed the problem down to interference between Bluetooth and WiFi: when I do a speedtest, WiFi speed drops from around 35 Mbps to 5 Mbps at exactly the moment sound starts coming out og the bluetooth speaker.
Is this a known issue, , anyone experience this, how couldthis be solved?
Thanks.
Do you guys have this problem with Wifi + BT activated?
I go on WIFI and all is fine
I go BT+3g/4g and all is fine
Since i got a smartband, as BT is 24/7, wifi is not working properly.
Been reading about this issue, its kind of generic due to band frequencies.
I have noticed that if BT + WLAN are ON the issue is not really there, it is when the smartband-app is installed.
The app has permissions on WLAN + BT, if i remove those permisions, the issue is semi-solved, but then no notifications are working 100% and Wifi fails from time to time.
Its like when BT syncs it may swith on/off the wlan so the wlan gets >.<
Any Solution/Workaround out of tasker to deactivate BT if WIFI or viceversa .... ?
I tried too changing the Wifi channel in the router from channel 11 to channel 1 (so they are far away) but nothing.
Thanks
Hello,
from MIUI 11 i am experiencing issue with BT devices disconnecting while using wifi hotspot. Once hotspot is active everything works for a while but then BT stops working and disconnects devices.
IT IS present Also in custom roms. Anyone Has this issue and know about some fix?
Many thanks.

Is your hotspot in the 2.4 GHz band ? If the answer is yes, try 5 GHz.

i will try, but unfortunately the client devices does not support 5ghz
i think it's a hardware issue as it does it with every, also custom roms...

It's mostly unrelated (at least with phone) but I recently started using a new small PC. The bluetooth disconnected too easily, even at less than 2 meters, a slight move of my head(phone) was enough to cut the music. Then I disabled the Wi-Fi interface and Bluetooth connection became robust even in the next room several meters away. That's probably because Wi-Fi and BT uses the same 2.4 GHz band.
Concerning Xiaomi smartphones, I use them everyday to listen to music while Wi-Fi is on (either in the 2.4 or 5 GHz band) and never observed a disconnection (xiaomi.eu or other custom ROMs). But I haven't tried in hotspot mode.

yes it's work as it should until i enable the hotspot, even then, it works sometimes for like an hour and then it starts... solution is airplane mode on/off and it works for a few again.
i use this a lot, as i do hotspot for kids and wife in the car, and i also work a lot remotely and this disconnects everything from BT audio to watch and it's really annoying. :/

I just made the test, phone connected to LTE and my home routeur in the 5 GHz band. Then connected in aptX HD to "PLT Focus" headphone. After that I turned on hotspot in the 2.4 GHz and I havent observed a disconnection yet (after 15 minutes). But I live in the countryside where the whole Wi-Fi spectrum appears almost unused. I usually can detect only one other access point with a very weak signal. So, even if I was able to test for several hours, it wouldn't prove anything as your use case is very different. It may come from interferences on the same channels used by others while your vehicle moves. I don't know if we can control what channel is allocated by the hotspot but it's probably dynamic. I guess that when you switch off then on, it just select another less used channel then it works again for a while.
