I am noticing that whenever I have my bluetooth headset on using the Note 2, the wifi speed degrades considerably. If you are listening to an online song stream, you may not notice as song does not take that much bandwidth for streaming, but if you watch an HD youtube video and listen using bluetooth headset, the video keeps getting stuck waiting for buffering.
Anybody else sees the same problem with Note 2? I am strongly suspecting that it is some sort of bluetooth intervention with wifi that degrades wifi download speed considerably. You could do this experiment by checking your internet speed with/without playing a song over bluetooth headset, and you would see the difference in download speed.
Wow. Good find. This is a problem.
With bluetooth on the wifi speed is slower, but with streaming audio it's abysmal.

To those who can test, can you pay results with both a 5ghz and 2.4ghz wifi connection? This could be related to interference and it affects everything from Android phones to Macbooks....

This really sucks that we cannot see any HD video online using the bluetooth headset. I remember trying the S3 and do not remember seeing this issue with it. I wonder if this interference issue is specific to Note 2 only

Actually, if you Google something like "bluetooth slow wifi", you'll see that all kinds of phones, tablets and computers have this problem. Some more than others.
Not sure how this can be fixed. If it is caused by interference than using 5ghz wifi could help.

What a bummer.... look at these speeds with 2.4ghz wifi vs. 5ghz when bluetooth is on. I haven't tried it streaming, but the speeds are already half with 2.4ghz so this must be an issue with radio interference.
My suggestion is that if you can connect to your Internet via a 5ghz wifi router, then do it if you'll be using bluetooth.

Hey guys, wanted to let you know that the network speed issue that I reported on my galaxy Note 2, is no more seen i the galaxy S4. I feel there was perhaps some software/hardware issue that was resolved causing this issue to go away (at least speed difference is not noticeable when watching youtube HD videos).

The router that you connect to has to support 5ghz. Once a hot spot is created on the 5ghz band, you simply connect to it.
You'll get a shorter range, but it will be at top speed.

The problem is that both wifi and bluetooth are used from the same communication chip.
Not only the wifi is slower but also the signal is lost considerable more. also when a download is pushed the bluetooth connection on my note 2 is stuttering.
There is only one fix for this. samsung and other companies need to stop using one chip for both wifi and bluetooth!!
@rks, then i think the s4 has a seperate wifi and BT chip on the board
Losing a stripe!?

According to here: http://www.ubmtechinsights.com/google-nexus-7-teardown/ there is an
AzureWave AW-NH665 chip which is endowed with an FM radio tuner. It would be really awesome if some talented soul could develop an app for that!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It depends on whether or not the bcm4330 chip actually sends power to that module. I haven't seen that module fire up in dmesg. That could mean that we simply need a driver for it. The fm framework is already out there. I'm not really a hardware guy but just some thoughts.

On another note, I have been playing with Samsung & HTC modules & drivers for the 4330 (Vivid & Captivate Glide) & I am getting 5Ghz wireless-n working sporadically. Just as HTC has added the capability to newer roms, it would also be possible for it to be supported quite easily by Asus as well. Would be great for streaming.
I would love to see this as I'm sure many would who wish to use the FM Radio for and N7 in a car install, I would gladly pay into double figures for this feature, any devs wishing to take it up there is a big market for getting fm radio working on the n7, do it and watch the £££ fly in ........
I doubt if a driver without an antenna would work - and I saw no sign of an FM antenna in the teardown.
5GHz support would be sweet... Antique adapters in the house really keep me speed limited on 2.4GHz (54MBS)..
That really sucks about the antenna. sometimes I like to listen to the football games out in the yard. Guess I'll have to use my phone.

I think perhaps the most definitive answer to this would be from Mike Reed, who I believe has a Nexus 7 and is also the author of the Spirit FM app. In this post it looks like he thinks it'll never happen.
Too bad... I use the FM Tuner in my phone all the time as well.

Your Nexus battery isn't going to last 3 days. If this is for disaster situations, just get a regular FM radio or one of the ones where you can power it with a hand crank. Either way we don't NEED to have FM on the N7. It would just be a nice perk.

Most mobile devices utilize a headset as the antenna. I wonder if this could be as simple as porting a FM tuner app from a device that has the same chip set with working FM tuner app?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I was wondering if anyone had any success? I was thinking about integrating a Nexus 7 as a car stereo replacement. Mount it in the dash (trimmed to make my GM Double DIN space a little wider), and route a line out into an EQ, which then would feed into a couple amps. ~$50 for a used 7-11 band EQ, ~$200 for the Nexus = a pretty kick butt deck if you don't need CD. But I would still like FM for traffic, news, games, radio contests, etc....
Last time I checked there need not be an internal FM antenna, most devices with tuners in them actually use the ground lead of your headphones. This is also why radio apps often fail without headphones or powered speakers attached.

Lol, are you serious? I don't know about you but I had my N7 under clocked at 900mHz with WiFi on, bluetooth off, and display all the way down, and I got a week on my battery. A Nexus 7 is a tank when it comes to battery you could EASILY get 3 days off a N7 battery.
You can have FM on your Nexus 7 now
Just get one of those cheapy RTL2832U based USB DVB-T dongles (they can be as low as £5.60 from eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?LH_BIN=1&_fcid=3&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_clu=2&_nkw=RTL2832U&_sop=2)
Then download SDR Touch - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=marto.androsdr
You don't even need to root your Nexus 7.
You might want to have a powered USB OTG cable in order to make it last for longer, since the tuner and the SDR decoding on the CPU is quite a battery eater. Another downside is that you can't charge your tablet while having something plugged in the USB port.
FM Stereo and even possibly RDS are features that will appear in SDR Touch soon enough
An added bonus is that you can now also listen to police frequencies or analogue TV sound while you drive as well

I had the same problem with my Note 10.1; it only happened when streaming bluetooth audio. It was fine when using my bluetooth keyboard. I askedthe same question that you did, but on the Note 10 forum, and I got no replies.
I might get this problem when I'm using Tablet Talk and connected with bluetooth. I also have short and brief instances were WiFi seems to disconnect.

Well I got another Note 8 today and playing around with it. I am close to the router and wifi is dropping out while streaming to my jambox. The only mitigating thing as the wifi usually reconnects before the buffer is used up... at least when I am close to the router and the signal is strong.
I can't believe that not one reviewer identified this problem! Shows you how useless they are. :^)
As this is android 4.1 based it should not have the streaming issues. So this may be a hardware issue.
This sucks and I have to evaluate if this tablet is now worth it.
Did you guys do the software update that came out in april? I read somewhere it had bug fixes for wifi issues.

I went to the samsung store to test my jambox with their galaxy note 8 and their wifi. Surprise surprise there was no drop out. So I suspect my old dlink DIR-655 router 2.4 GHz is the problem. Anyways I just got a new Asus rt-n66u router and set-up the note 8 on the 5 GHz band. Streaming Google play music to my jambox while browsing on the Internet and no drop out. Tablet is a keeper. What a relief.

Thank you. Buying a dual band 2.5/5Ghz router and using the 5Ghz solved my problem.
Hi all, I have had my P600 since Christmas and it has been good. I am running ML1 firmware, no root. It shipped with MJ2.
I have noticed a couple of problems. Firstly, I have occasional bluetooth keyboard disconnects. They really infrequent but definitely occur. They just don't seem to be anywhere near as severe as people have been describing in other threads.
Secondly, this tablet just can't detect my 5GHz wifi connection. My Note II on the table next to it has no problems finding and using that connection. I am downloading MK1 firmware now to see if it is ML1 that is the problem, as I *think* that the tablet originally detected both 2.4 and 5GHz connections. I didn't really take note though. I have noticed this now mainly because I've been trying to turn wifi on and off to test what may be happening with bluetooth.
Thing is, I've never really had a good BT experience in my life, but I need to get this keyboard and a mouse working to use this tablet the way I intend to.
Is the 5GHz failure an ML1 thing, is there some other cause, or is it a hardware fault? Any tips?
Cheers,
Jason
Running ML1 as well. No comment on the BT keyboard since I haven't used mine enough yet, only for a few minutes here and there to test, not long time.
I have a dual band Asus RT AC-66U and I can use both my 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. Only thing is that the 5 Ghz network gets poor reception from the tablet across my house (to be expected I suppose).

I agree. It is stressing me out. I feel a little trapped because a good test would be to install cleanrom 1.1, which at least one person has said fixed bluetooth, but I can't do that without sacrificing my warranty.
I am not even sure whether I have a hardware problem or bluetooth is just a dubious technology.
Hey all I've had my 360 for a few months now and just started noticing a problem. When I have my watch connected to my phone my phone has a hard time connecting to my Chrysler Uconnect in my stereo. I can't tell if it's a phone problem, Uconnect problem or the watch. It'll drop connection from the car on and off and sometimes not connect at all. I'm pretty sure the watch stays connected the whole time. Once I disconnect the watch, the car connection works just fine.
Anyone else run across this?

I tried to factory reset it or flash android p but no luck either any way to fix it?
I know that 5ghz is faster but the problem is that most places doesn't offer 5 GHz wifi and i cannot do anything without mobile data
Couple of things, have you used a program like "wifi analyzer" (free in the play store) to see what kind of interference there may be with the 2.4 ghz signal? If too many networks are using the same channel it can cause problems. Are you close to the router or is there a wall or electrical panel between you and the router? Also, have you tried turning off Bluetooth? While not always a cause of interference it can be. One last thing, have you tried different 2.4 ghz networks?

There's no need for a service center with a Pixel device - you have a 24 hour chat and a phone call service included with the phone. Just go to Settings/Support & tips. I have used both chat and phone call support in the past, and they were great. People on the other side are actually very knowledgeable.
At the same time, this is one of buggiest phones I have used since the beginning of Android. Probably a phone with the most bugs, some completely deal breaking, like the Bluetooth bugs, that exists.
If you want top of the line speed and innovative software, go Pixel. If you want garbage hardware and tons of bugs, go Pixel.
I already contacted them via this way and I am waiting an email for what to do next!
hope they help me since I don't have the invoice and the box!
PS. For some unknown reason I called them on USA number and they said that because I am from Cyprus and google doesn't have a store or service here (the phone is bought from England) they can not help me that means my phone is for garbage ...... let's hope online chat will be more helpful!
And again sorry for my bad English!
