Okay, I have a strange thing going on here.......
I bought my first bluetooth headset which is Jabra Storm (I ride a bike don't have a car) so it started gettting cracked when connected to my Xperia Z1 even my phone got unresponsive many times with that headset so I gifted that headset to my brother who has Motorola Droid Turbo, but before gifting him I checked that very headset with one of my friend's phone Xperia SP and one another phone it was still problematic, maybe it was a high copy of Jabra storm?? anyway then I bought LG-Tone Music HBS-730 which is also a high copy I'm sure but it works fine with my phone....... then out of curiosity I bought another Bluetooth headset "Motorola HK250" original, which is far better than the jabra storm co'z now it never got auto disconnect and connect at all but when on Bike if I turn my head right (and xperia z1 is in my left pocket ) the music sometimes break and sometimes it works fine. In a room it works fine... I also have a smartwatch 2 on my right hand but it's bluetooth is always off so I don't think this one is causing problem..
So what's up here?
The phone has faulty bluetooth? (I even installed Xperia Z1 bluetooth fixed from Market)
The Environment has interference with the device ? (I almost travel too much to check this)
Or
Bluetooth headsets aren't meant for Riding bikes ?
I'm confused , thanks for reply in advance.

Hi Guys,
i have this problem for a long time and didn't find anything about it in web or in xda forums.
I have a HTC Dream + HBH-IS 800 Sony Ericsson Headset.
When i listen to music via A2DP the connection is not very stable...
the connection interrupts very often for about 2 or 3 seconds, then works for about 3 seconds.
This only happens when i am outside, not in buildings. I this the reason is because of interferences. The connection gets better when i move the G1 into a specific orientation (upper side up) and don't turn my head to the right
On my old Windows mobile phone i played around with bitpool (=ratio between quality and connection stability by constant bitrate) settings... is there a possibility to get the connection more stable, when playing around with this setting?!
How can this setting be changed on android?
Further information:
-ROM Cyanogen 4.2.5 but same problem on stock ROM
-HTC Dream has been replaced one by a new device -> same problem
-Headset was never exchanged, but worked perfectly on my old Touch Pro with WM 6.1
Thanks for your help
There is a known issue on the Bluetooth stack and is suppose to be fixed in the Elclair 2.0 fix, the temporary work around is to first pair and connect then disconnect and reconnect it again i'm having to do that several times a day when i use my RocketFish bluetooth stereo headset. Hope that helps
thanks for this workaround, will try it tomorrow and will post if it works for me too
hmm, didnt really work for me... no change after pairing disconnecting and connecting again.
i wonder why this only happens outside, not in buildings... another frequencys which interferences maybe?!
Be sure to disable wifi.
Not trying to hi-jack your thread. If you want me to open another i will. However this is a BT question as well.
my G1 is set to connect to my stereo in my car. Pioneer BT head unit. I find that i have to manually tell it to connect every time i get in the car. When i had a blackberry before it would just connect every time on its own without me doing anything once i made the initial connection.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Worked on Dell Streak A1.6
I have Dell BH200 headset as well, and I have the same exact problem its like the audio stutters but when I first connect it its more stutter than music so you can barely even understand the music until after 30secs when it starts to normal out.
ATM im runnning Stock 1.6 for G1, im going to try Cyanogenmod 6.0 tomorrow and see if anything changes.
but everyday I go back and forth with my laptop and phone since my headphones run for atleast 3-4 days.
wow, finally someone having the same problem.
and even the same description of the connection issues.
I recently bought a orange SanFran and, as the device is fairly cheap, a nokia bh-504 along with it.
The connection isnt stable even when I put it in my breast pocket.
As soon as I move my head to the right, the streaming stops. Completely.
I can easily stop the music when holding my hand in front of the right earpiece.
so i will try the disconnect / connect again "workaround", but I don't think that will help.
I paired the same headset with my gf's netbook and I could walk through the whole apartment and the signal was stable even through up to 4 walls.
so no one here knows how to tweak BT settings in android?
Hi people,
Am facing a problem while connecting the Dell BH 200 Wireless headphones with My Streak, it connects fine. I can listen to music but as soon as I get calls the Bt gets disconnected and I have to manually take call using the phone...It happens every time... .
Its such a pain if you are driving and listening to songs suddenly you get a call, pullover take the call and spend five more minutes pairing it again
Am running my streak on stock Froyo Rom, Baseband is 318 and kernel version is 2.6.32.9-Dj_Steve-BFS-BFQ-OC-Vol
had this problem even before with stock kernel and baseband.
Am wondering why cause the same headphones sync beautifully with Galaxy S stock froyo and Galaxy 3 and my HTC Evo.....
Irony of the situation is this that I work for dell but no one in the Wireless or hand held department was able to give me an answer.
So my good people at XDA here I am.....
Please Help Me out!!
Peace Out!!
Sam
>>>>>EDIT<<<<<<
Finally gave up on DELL BH 200 and bought BH 503 it supports all the profiles and no pairing issues as well, not to miss the sound quality and in call quality is at par!!
I have the same problem .... any advice would be appreciated.

im just curious, why are you listening to your headphones IN the car
on the other hand, i just got a pair of Sony DR-BT101 yesterday and they paired perfectly to my phone. the only problem i can see you might have is the fact that your headset doesnt have one of the profiles that allows for calls? i can remember which one it is, either hsp or hfp but other than that i dont see why it would disconnect itself.
also, you shouldnt have to pair the headphones everytime u want to connect, the whole point of pairing is so it auto connects when the devices are on and in range. if you meant to say connect then nevermind me

Rest as I have mentioned it before the same BT headset works peacefully on several of my other androids....
And yes sorry for the confusion I meant reconnecting it and not pairing!!

I think it used to work with 1.6 ( not 100% sure )
However broken with 318, 340 and steves rom.
Edit : works perfectly though with nokiaBT headset and plantronics
Shame that dell does not work with dell .
Dell Headphones are **** mayn!! I too bought Nokia!!

Hi there,
I've got a xperia z with a stock rom(android 4.1.2 build 10.1.A.1.434.) and a Plantronics Voyager Legend Bt Headset(running with the latest firmware).
The phone is new, only one week old. I've installed only few programs (beside the bloatware already on the phone).
One out of that is "avast mobile security", not sure if it's a possible fault for the problems I'm going to describe...:
The Headset is paired and I can, sometimes, use it.
Sometimes the headset gets disconnected from the mobile phone during calls(to get the call back on headset I need to turn bt on/off on the xz)
Sometimes the headset states "connected to phone 1" but when I start a call it's not possible to use the headset (same fix, bt on/off on the xz)
Also the Voice Commands are not working, a black page pops up and closes immediately.
The same Headset is paired with a Samsung S2, and there are no problems with that phone.
(...except voice commands, I've never tried them on that phone...)
Has somebody similar problems with a bt headset and this phone?
Has somebody similar problems with the same bt headset and this phone?
Is there a "magic app" that could fix problems or help debugging this problem?
(- I've tried the plantronics app, but this one was very unstable so I removed it.)
Kind regards
known issue

its a known issue with bluetooth headsets. But I have a Sony MDR-1RBT and i have never had music skip. At the same time, not so lucky if i am listening on the free NFC speaker I got from Clove. Its a bit hit and miss really. May be do a factory reset and try again. If not try to replicate the issue and go to the nearest Sony Center for a warranty case ?
I just wanted to add that I have a Nexus 4 with the Plantronics Voyager Legend and I'm having the same issue of random disconnects during a call. I'm running AOKP on my phone. I still haven't figured out how to fix it, but this is not just happening on the Sony Xperia Z.
Same problem

Hi, I have been experiencing the same issue on my Xperia LT28i also known as international Ion for several months now. I think I started having it around the time when I upgraded to ICS. Since then performed 2 hard resents but problem didnt go away. Nothing like this was experienced on Gingerbread (the version of the OS that came with the phone...
BTW, I am using two differen bluetooth earpieces - a Jabra and a Jawbone. Both have the same problem with sony - random transfer of teh conversation from the earpiece to the phone. this is really annoying when driving... Sometimes it gets worse and does it every 5 mins. other times wont happen an entire day...
I waited for 6 month for the JB update, hoping it would cure the problem. Updated to JB on AUG 1 but the problem persists. Thinking about sending the phone to Sony for repair...

Anyone else haing issues here with bluetooth? I can connect to everything bluetooth, wireless speakers, car, headsets, watch etc. The only thing I can get to work reliably is the headset, everything else randomly cuts out or has issues. For example both cars have bluetooth for phone calls, one has bluetooth for media, I can get both to work for a short time but it either 1. Cuts out and reverts back to phone, freezes the system in the one car, or jumps back and forth between the 2. Similar results when connected to bluetooth speakers, can get it to work for about 10-15 minutes then nothing, phone shows it still connected and playing music but no sounds from speakers. LG G Watch R also randomly looses connection. I'm beginning to regret my switch from the S5.
Anyone having similar problems or a fix?? I really want to keep the phone but not sure I can deal with this flaw...........
I have no such issues with the bluetooth. I can tell you that I had bluetooth issues with one of my other android phones. I had to get it warranty replaced. My suggestion is that you get the phone replaced since its brand new.
Mine has been fine so far. I just wish that android was more like apple, as much as I hate to say that. Both my S6 and M7 will play phone audio fine when in a call, but to use maps I have to turn the radio to Bluetooth mode. Makes it kinda boring to ride with no radio just to get turn by turn nav.

I haven't had any issues with my smart watch (moto 360) but I have had some weird issues with my car's Kenwood media deck. The phone will connect to the unit, but 75% of the time no sound will come from the speakers on the first try. Sometimes just waiting about a minute does the trick, other times I turn BT off/on and it'll work fine the 2nd time. However because I haven't had any issues connecting with my watch, ear piece, or laptop I am willing to bet it's it an issue with the Kenwood and not the phone.
Thanks guys. Don't want to have to warranty swap it but looks like that's going to be my first step.
Hello All,
I am running pure nexus 6.0. I have also tried pure nexus 7.0 with the same issue. I recently had to get my phone replaced by Motorola and I am experiencing something I did not before. When I use my Bluetooth headset, everything works flawlessly indoors and it will connect to my Car and maintain the connection perfectly as well. When I use my phone outside, if I put my phone in my pocket, the Bluetooth headset starts to break up. It gets even worse if I switch the phone to my left pocket or hold the phone behind me.
What I am trying to figure out is, is the phone the issue or is he headset the issue? If my phone had defective Bluetooth hardware, would it not work at all or is what I described within the realm? I do not remember having such issues previously. I am using a platronics backbest fit headset.
Thank you for all of your help!
