Wifi + Bluetooth Simultaneously - Windows Phone 7 General

OK, I know this is an Android problem from my past experience. But is it me, or are others having this problem as well?
Problem:
Wifi connection on and working.
Bluetooth headset on. I turn on bluetooth, connects to headset.
Wifi connection gone. Wifi still on though.
Bluetooth connects. Music plays.
I force a reconnect with wifi router.
Music starts skipping, controls become jerky. Wifi becomes unstable.
Disable wifi by turning it off completely. Music streams beautifully with full controls.
I'm on my Omnia 7.
I also have another problem with Bluetooth. This thing gives me static interference all the time when in the car, but I think that's a wifi thing. I usually have wifi + bluetooth +3g on all the time. Gonna try in the car without wifi on from now on.

I tried this yesterday but both bt & wifi worked without problems. In regards to static BT in the car.. I have that on occassion with my Smsng Focus. At times I get crystal clear audio (cd quality) when i stream audio to my bluetooth enabled cd deck.. and at times.. there is static or loud hissing in which I'd have to disconnect and reconnect bluetooth a few times before the distortion goes away.
I read somewhere that it may be caused by 3G connection consuming more processing time than BT/wifi or how the priority is setup in the drivers.. don't quote me..it was something I read a while back.

Does BT and Wifi interfere with each other?

I recently bought a x51v and upgraded to the A03 ROM. I did the broadcomm BT stack and can get good audio quality with Wifi off. When I turn Wifi on and I want to hear a streaming video I get a lot of skipping on the audio. I did the registry hack and even the A2DP fix, but it still happens. Is it because Wifi can interfere with Bluetooth activity or is it a problem with the BT Stack?
Hi there,
I suspect there may be some kind of interference. I thought i'd try it out by putting a USB Wifi dongle and a USB Bluetooth dongle next to each other, and tried using them both simultaneously, and both kept dropping out. But when i seperated them, the dropouts stopped and speed went back to normal. (although i'm sure it's not recommended to have them right next to each other haha)
Anyone else seen the same thing?
I do see a bit of trouble with A2DP & WiFi on my Tytn II -- when using A2DP, the WiFi will occasionally disconnect, and the reconnect will cause sound to drop out momentarily. This happens only with A2DP -- the other profiles (handsfree, HID, etc.) don't use enough BT bandwidth to kill WiFi.

[Q] bluetooth issue?

Is any one with problem for the bluetooth connetion? It will drop after a few min. and try to reconnect have no respond, need to reboot the phone. Is it the setting or bug?

Mine has not done this with my Jawbone Icon, Motorola S10-HD stereo headphones or my Volkswagen Tiguan. Perhaps you might try another bluetooth device?
buletooth issue?
I had try different device and do the same thing, like my audi q7 and jarba headset and the garmin. Can you tell me what buletooth setting you are using?
Mine has intermittent issues as well, I'm using an older Motorola 710 BT earpiece. I'll only turn on BT on the phone when I know I'm going to use the earpiece, such as when driving or needing to be hands-free. I only activate the earpiece after enabling BT on the phone, but there are times when the earpiece does not connect.... the only fix is to reboot the phone. Is that similar to the issue you are having?
I'm having issues connecting to my car. If I reboot the phone and connect it will work. But once it's disconnected and I turn bluetooth off and then back on from the phone, it will not connect. Only way to fix it is to reboot. Don't know how to fix the issue. Never had a problem connecting my Sensation to my car's bluetooth.
My issue is similar in turning bluetooth on and off via the power widget and not being able to re-connect to my bluetooth earpiece after a few cycles. I'm wondering if it may be an issue with it being BT 2.0 versus BT 3.0 on the phone?
I thought it was my car but a lot ppl is having this issue too.
Sometimes it wont connect but it says connected so i have to go to BT settings and click where it says connected n overwrite the connection for it to work if not gotta restart the phone. :/

I'm having problems with a SoundFly FM Transmitter in my car.
At first it took forever to pair. And even when paired & connected it's really glitchy.
I'm using this mainly for GPS turn by turn over the car sound system. But because it is glitchy I can't use it because some of the directions get cut off.
I had a MyTouch 4G before. No problems whatsoever. I don't if it's a hardware or driver or BT device issue.
I'm willing to get a new FM Transmitter but not if it does the same thing.
It didn't work well on stock or rooted w/ Juggernaut rom
this is quite annoying. I wonder why this topic died so quickly, there have to be more people with this problem? Maybe has something to do with a bluetooth power saving sleep feature? Streaming music, pause music for a few minutes, incoming call gets connected but I get no sound through headset.

[Q] Bluetooth disconnect/reconnect when wireless connected

I just purchased a set of bluetooth headphones (LG Tone HSB700, love 'em!) to go along with my HTC Desire (USCC CDMA) running CM7.1. The bluetooth connection works great most of the time. I have noticed, however, when I'm connected to my wireless network at home but not streaming any audio or phone calls, that the bluetooth connections drops & reconnects every 30-60 seconds or so. If I am streaming audio or on a call, then the connection will not drop. Any ideas on what would be causing the drops? I connected the headset to my wife's Galaxy S3, and there were no connection problems.

Same here.... keeps disconnecting even with the car bt and the fidelio dock (which is quite annoying with the dock sound every 30 secs)
Any ideas?
I just got a new phone last week, a Samsung Galaxy S 3. It still has the same problem. I contacted LG a while ago and they said to send it in for repairs. I use my headphones so often, that I'd rather not send them in and be without them for a few weeks. So I haven't sent them in yet and I still have the same problem.

wifi causing my bluetooth to disconnect

I've seen many issues of wifi not working when bluetooth is on, but my problem (though related I'm sure) is the opposite. I stream my audio to my head unit in my car. If wifi is on the bluetooth disconnects from my car, reconnects, plays for a second, then disconnects again. it will cycle like this indefinitely. if wifi is off, bluetooth works fine. the caveat is that i often use maps while streaming my music, so i need both. otherwise, i'd have no problem just turning on wifi when needed.
i'm running stock, rooted lk8.

I'm having the exact same issue.
Tried running the wifi on just 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (started out on auto)
It continues to disconnect the bluetooth regardless the setting.
It only disconnects on calls, as I can play music to my BT from my phone while connected to wifi.
The only way the BT stays connected during a call, is to turn off the wifi.

Potential issue with 802.11n networks causing Bluetooth audio dropouts?

Has anyone else had issues with Bluetooth audio stutter/dropping out during music playback?
Main issue is while driving and pixel xl is playing (offline) music to car stereo via Bluetooth, in areas with open wifi , the music stutters.
I currently have an open case with google regarding this.
I carried some of my own troubleshooting as follows :
I have tested connecting to my Bluetooth JAM speaker at home and toggling wifi where the signal is strong.
While disconnecting and being joined to my 802.11AC network, no issues.
While being connected to my 802.11N network however the audio DOES have dropouts.
With wifi off, 4G on - No issues
This is while playing offline music so the internet connection is not required to play the music.
Tried with Spotify and google play music
The fact that the 802.11n network seems to be what causes the issue matches the issues while driving in my car, listening to music via Bluetooth to car stereo.
I think while driving the dropouts/stuttering audio are caused as the phone tries to connect to the many open 802.11n networks around when driving down streets etc.
I don't get any issues when driving on motorways, away from any networks.
Neither my galaxy s7 edge or LG G4 exhibit this issue with the same setup.
Does anyone else experience this?
I found a Reddit thread mentioning the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/5e3nio/pixel_xl_bluetooth_skipping/
this is super interesting... I was having the same problems and so I turned off the WiFi while listening over BT in my car stereo. with WiFi on I would probably get about 20 interruptions in a 30 minute drive. this was reduced to one with WiFi off. it makes sense since Bluetooth and WiFi operate at similar wavelengths but I've never had this issue on any previous phone. it's really shi++y that we have problems like this and then crackling phone speakers on such a high end and expensive device. I'm really disappointed in google

So far Google have asked me to provide debug reports, which I have.
I have also factory reset and get the same issue.
I seemed to get more dropouts after the new Google play services installed but not sure if that is the cause yet as it coincided with the wi-fi being idle but connected.
With wi-fi connected and the phone busy restoring all my apps, it didn't seem to dropout hardly.
I have also had drop out issue during playback. Mine stutters no matter what. Wi-Fi on and off I get stutters. I started experiencing this a few days back. At first I thought it might have been viper FX but after turning off the app I still got the stutters. It is coming to be very annoying as I listen to music all the time. I'm running on 7.1.2 stock, rooted.
I finally got a reply from google regarding my case on this and they advised this is fixed in an upcoming update due in the "next few weeks".
I installed 7.1.2 (NOT beta) from the OTA image and sure enough it now appears to be fixed! Happy days!
I got 7.1..2 OTA this morning and it has not fixed my issue. If I turn my BT headphones off and wait 30 mins and turn them back on the stuttering is there. At least all I have to do is turn BT off/on (while leaving the headphones on) and no more stuttering (at least for as long as I played music). So no love for me I guess

My issue was 100% directly related to 802.11n wifi networks though, doesn't sound like yours is as this would only happen when it would try to join 802.11n wifi. Turn wifi off and it never happened for me.
I gave them detailed information and debug logs which proved what caused the fault and looks like they have fixed it.
