I remember I had this problem with Sennheisser MM100 headphones a while back. From memory I unpaired and removed the device, then re-paired the phones. I may have done a reboot of the note after I unpaired the device, can't remember as it was a long time ago. I have not had a problem since.

I have the same problem as kwelito_88. I managed to use my Creative WP-250 headset for just 3 weeks before it decided to stay mumb on me.
I "unpair" the headset with my phone but now my phone just couldn't see this headset when it scans for devices.
Any one out there know how to get both gadgets working again? Thanks.

Do you have a BT laptop you can try pairing your Note with? If it works that will rule out the Note as the problem.
You've probably already fully charged the headset and checked that they are definitely in pairing mode so that the Note can see them? My Sennheisers are bit touchy and didn't go into pairing mode properly until I pressed harder on the switch button.

Thanks! I can now confirm the Note is not the problem.. it pair & connect to my BT laptop easily.. So the Creative wp-250 headset is where the fault is. Guess I won't be looking at Creative products for a while.

Thanks for the tip
Hmm. I have a duff/non-compliant Jabra headset too. That tip with pairing with "known good" worked a treat.

Possible Bluetooth Bug

I'm sure the following is a software issue but I don't know where to report this bug.
When I am listening to music or watching videos on my Note 4 through my Bluetooth stereo headset, I get pops and clicks noises every 2-3 secs and has been driving me up the wall. Talking with someone over the phone through Bluetooth yield no noises. Only way to fix this was to use a wired headphone/headset. My Note 4 is 910C with the latest firmware, not rooted nor modified in any way, everything is at stock.
After a lot of troubleshooting I finally figured it out that it wasn't my BT headset being faulty, nor my Note 4's BT, I will explain below.
I have my Note 4 paired with the following Bluetooth devices:
- LG HBS-900 Headset
- LG HBS-800 (Black) Headset
- LG HBS-800 (White) Headset
- LG HBS-700 Headset
- Sennheiser MM 550-X Headset
- Creative T6 Series II (Desktop PC Speakers that has Bluetooth)
- Samsung Gear Fit Watch
The issue is affecting the HBS-900 and both of the HBS-800. I have done the following which didn't fix the issue:
- Unpair then Re-pair
- Unpaired other headsets
- Restart Phone + Pulled Battery
- Went to "Application manager > Bluetooth" and cleared Cache and cleared Data
- Went to Recovery and cleared the cache
I was left with the last resort to re-flash the latest firmware. But I had a brainwave and decided to unpair the Samsung Gear Fit because out of all the paired devices, only the watch uses Bluetooth 4.0 while the headsets and speaker use Bluetooth 3.0.
Lo and behold, the popping and clicking noises disappeared completely right away. I paired all the other headsets to the phone, and audio was still clear. I replicated the issue again by pairing my Gear Fit back to the Note 4, and immediately the noises were back. And this issue occurs even without having the watch connected to the phone! So now I'm forced to pick either my headset or my watch....
Model N910C
Firmware Origin: XSG (United Arab Emirates)
Firmwares issue experienced: ANK5 and AOA2

Hi budy, have the same problems. But I think problem is between wifi and bluetooth. Whenever there is a information change via wifi to internet there is some strange noice or once in a while bluetooth is bracking up. There might be some frquency problems. So far no solution to these. Just reconnect.......

910f + gear live + connected audio to my home theater by BT , streaming all access music via WiFi = no problem .

Lollipop 5.01 Fixed It...... I think!

Not to do with WiFi in my case. I could have them switch on or off, connected or not connected, the noise will still be there.
But Good News! I saw the official Lollipop for N910C on the other thread, thought what the heck gonna flash it. So I flashed it via Odin but did not wipe my data, seems Bluetooth is behaving now. Maybe the previous mini updates did not do anything to the BT drivers and on Lollipop I saw the version and it's a newer version.
Didn't really want to do this at first cause it's only been released and bound to be buggy, but I did it!

Bluetooth Connectivity

Hi all. I'm having alit of problems with my Bluetooth not connecting or not keeping connection.
1. Airpods not keeping connection.
2. My Fitbit Versa can't connect at all.
Just wondering if anybody else has this problem.

I'm using it with several bluetooth peripherals, like UE Boom 2 and Jabra Elite 65T with no issues whatsoever. The connection is good, never got dropped.
I haven't tried with wearables so can't say much about it.

I'm not having any issues with my Fitbit Ionic. That said, a few others at the Fitbit community are stating they have Note 9/Fitbit issues. (I have no issues with any other bluetooth device.)

Thank you answering. My Airbud issues have gone away but my Fitbit verge is still acting up.
Hopefully there is a fix for this soon.

No problems with my mini Jambox, Gear Fit Pro2, Sony and AKG headphones and my car's SYNC.

I'm having problems with the AirPods and my 512GB Exynos model:
Only when the phone is on a 2G network. Then the sound starts stuttering to the point that it cuts out completely. ALso the AirPods don't disconnect, they'll just cut out the sound. The Note 9 still detecs them as properly connected.
My Philips SBH7150 and Bose QC35II have no issues at all.
Can anyone with AirPods try to set their phone to 2G only and test this out?

So either folks have dropouts when the Note 9 or they don't? I've got Bose QC35II and a 9. When I put the phone in my back pocket I get cutouts. I did not have this issue with the Note 8.
Any opinions?
I did reset the BT app .. dumped data/cache and repaired to the Bose. It made no difference.

Never had this issues with my Note 9, had more bluetooth issues with my S7E but the way I fixed it was going to Apps > Show system apps>Bluetooth, the go into Bluetooth options and clear data/cache, maybe that will fix it for you. You'll probably lose paired bluetooth devices though, and need to re-pair.

Yeah, did that and rebooted the phone then re-paired the Bose QCII's with it.. It didn't help much. But the good news is I don't get drops when it's in my front pocket just the back pocket. I guess it's just how it is at the moment.
Thanks.

Old thread, but my s9 has horrible BT range. With airpods, even if I put my phone in my coat pocket, not pants pocket, the signal drops.
I know the airpods are good, they worked fine with my s9 plus.

No sound from the phone while connected to Bluetooth or wired headphones

Hi,
I have a problem with my phone that started today.
The problem is that whenever I connect my Note 8 (N950F) to my Plantronics BT headset then the sounds from the phones speaker dissapears.
For example:
When I get a text message, it only sounds on the speaker of the BT headset.
This also happens when the phone is connected to wired headphones.
This used to work earlier. I didnt have this problem on Android 8 (Oreo). I didnt have the problem even when updating to Android 9 (Pie). This started when I today decided to factory reset my phone.
When it was working I could hear the sound from my phones speaker and also from my Bluetooth headset!
I have found a website where several users is having the same issue on different phones:
https:// us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/No-text-message-sound-when-Bluetooth-headset-is-connected/td-p/463471
(PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ADDRESS ABOVE HAS A SPACE BETWEEN "https://" AND THE REST OF THE ADDRESS)
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? Or any idea what to try?

Why do you want your phone to make noise when you have your headset on??
Anyway, I think that through Advanced Sound Settings you can designate apps to send there sound to phone.

Because this is how the device normally works and is intended to work.
But I can give you an example:
Say that I have my Plantronics BT Headset connected to my phone and I´m not wearing it at the moment when I get an SMS, E-mail or something else that generates a notification sound. If the phone doesnt make any sound then I´ll miss that/these notifications. This also applies for any 3,5 mm wired devices that are connected to my phone.
This has always worked fine before on Android 8 (Oreo) and worked also fine on Android 9 (Pie) until yesterday when I made a factory reset on my Note 8.
I first believed that something was wrong with my phone, but now I know that there are several other user with the exact same issue. And this is not only an issue for Note 8, there are other users with S9 and S10 with the same problem.
I have tried the Advanced Sound settings you mentioned above, it doesnt work either!

Clear bluetooth settings, will delete all devices and reset bluetooth connections.
In All Apps, show System and find bluetooth or and bluetooth share, delete cache and data, reboot.
Note the on android pie there is issues with the bluetooth codecs and still no patch from sammy.

Tried it!
It didnt help ...
This is not just a Bluetooth issue, the same thing happens when I connect wired headphones to my phones 3,5mm jack

There is also a setting in Soundassistant App, advanced setting to direct the notification sounds and ringtones to headphones. Do you have that setting unchecked?
On my N950U1 running Pie beta #3 it all works as expected...

It's unchecked

I figured out a fix!!!
Go to Settings>Sounds and Vibrations>Advanced Sound Settings>Seperate App Sound
Turn the switch to the "On" position
Click on "App" and choose your messenger app and any other app you want to be heard through the phone.
Backup to the previous screen and press "Audio Device"
Choose "Phone"
You should be all set. You will now play your message/ phone sounds through your phone without losing audio through your Bluetooth device!

Bluetooth earbuds can't connect.

Hello, after 2 and a half years using the phone and not having big issues, just the known (red tint screen etc) and saying that the phone itself still stands good, i now have a problem. I just purchased the Creative outlier air v2 earbuds and i simply can't connect them to Nokia 8. Phone hasn't been tweaked , is stock Android 9 with the last October update. The phone discovers them i pair them, i hear the "pair successful" from the earbuds but they don't connect , instantly they appear in "Saved Earbuds" section in Bluetooth settings and the earbuds flash as they supposed to when they are disconnected from a device.
I tried pretty much everything i can find, Bluetooth on-off, developer options on-off restart, clear bluetooth app cache, clear apps settings even clear WIFI/Bluetooh cache (bye -bye wifi ssids) tried to changed the avrcp bluetooth versions to 1.4-1.6, select aptX codec etc but nothing changed. The disable bluetooth a2dp hardware offload is grayed out so i couldn't changed that, but don't know if it will make any difference.
So is there a thing i can do to make them work, tweak/re install firmware or version of bluetooth ? Or i just hit a situation that the two devices just don't go along.
Just for the record, the earbuds pair and work fine in my laptop and even in 2 Xiaomi redmi 5 i tried to.

IDK if it helps, but Creative recommends to use the SXFI app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creative.apps.superxfiplayer&hl).
Install this app
Create your profile
Connect the earbuds to your device
Have you tried it already?

Yeah i tried that, creative suggested some methods mentioned it this site, for different Nokia models, but it was basically what i've done already(clear apps, cache, reset phone) I've given up, the only solution is just use different phone...
