Hi!
I try to discribe the weird behaviour of my GNex.
Everytime I use Spotify or TuneIn Radio over my home WiFi und stream the Audio via Bluetooth I have massive buffering pauses.
The strange thing is - this only happens with the GNex and in this particular setup.
Spotify on Wifi and listening with cabel earphones works flawless.
Bluetooth streaming in the car while being on 3G also works without any problems.
And with my other Android devices (Transformer 101 on AOKG and my Galaxy S on CM9 nightly) even the combination being on Wifi and streaming Audio with BT to my BT boxes works without a problem.
(For absolute confusion - somehow I don't have this buffering problem when using Play Music).
The Wifi connection itself or the bluetooth connection are tested - the error must be somewhere else.
Question: Is this problem reproducable with other Galaxy Nexuseses or is it my particular setup / device that acts a bit funky?
Bonus Question: Does anyone of you know a solution to my problem?
Thanks in advance

Are you connected to a 5ghz or 2.4ghz router?
The router (AVM fritz.box 7270) can handle both bands. At the moment I use the 2.4Ghz band because I still have a few Wifi devices can't run n-Standard Wifi.
Update:
I played a little bit with the settings and found out that if I force the screen to keep on, streaming over BT through a Wifi connection works.
I checked the Wifi policy but it was "always on" when phone goes to sleep...
Update 2:
Tried to change network to 5.0GhZ and - yes - it solved the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanx a lot for the suggestion!
But as I said, it's unfortunately no suitable solution for me because my Transformer (the original one) only works with 2.4GhZ networks. The "screen on workaround" still works for me, but is a huge battery drainer. Well, of course... with WIFI, BT on and working and screen on...
So if anyone has an idea why its working with screen on and not working with screen off... plz...
I have the same issue. Wifi streaming via Bluetooth starts massive buffering when screen locks. It also happens on my Nexus S (ics). My girl friends exhibit (ginger bread) has no problems. I guess it's an issue with ICS.
Galaxy Nexus: Settings -> WiFi -> Advanced -> 5Ghz only
That might fix it, although it won't work if your nexus also needs to connect to 2.4Ghz WiFi networks.
Also download "Wakelock" from the Play Store, and find if one of those wakelocks will fix it.
A Wakelock tells Android that it isn't allowed to sleep as long as the wakelock isn't released. Just try all of them, maybe it'll help.
Thanks for the tips. The 5ghz range on my router sucks, but I'll give that and the other tips a try. I got some Bluetooth speakers for around the house which are awesome when not buffering.
I use my GPAD along with a nice bluetooth headset when I exercise. After the upgrade to 4.4.2, I started experiencing wifi connection drops. The only way to reestablish the connection is to toggle airplane mode, disable bluetooth or reboot the tablet. As long as I have bluetooth disabled the connection is consistent but if enabled, the connection drops within 15 minutes. Has anyone else experienced wifi drop outs with bluetooth enabled?

...and have always assumed that there will be a problem when streaming to my BT headset (which I do often) and try and use Wi-Fi at the same time. This happens consistently and so I just tend to no longer bother.
Actually I now use my Nexus 7 (original) just for BT streaming and the G Pad for other use when a Wi-Fi is needed.
I have a Galaxy S4 Mini, running on non-rooted 4.4.2. I have lately observed a very peculiar behavior. If I turn on my Bluetooth and WiFi together simultaneously, then try to use both of them, for example stream a song via music app or tunein radio or sound cloud via Bluetooth to speakers and the same time surf the web, I observe that the WiFi signal connection as well as Bluetooth connection drops alternatively.
OR If I try to stream a song from tunein radio or sound cloud using Bluetooth, while downloading the very same song/stream via WiFi it causes the same issue. Either I loose Bluetooth connectivity to the speakers or WiFi connection is dropped.
What can be the cause of this happening and what do I do to rectify this issue?
Same problem here. using bluetooth headset, i can't use it watching youtube on wifi connection. rarely has worked for a couple of minutes, but quite always wifi or bluetooth stops working, and if wifi return to work, bluetooth immediately disconnect the headset...
i've also try to install cyanogenmod 13 official, but still the same problem...
Hi I recently purchased a Huawei watch and it's amazing so far. Though it might not have its all of its functionality with my iPhone 6 it's still pretty good and was decently priced. My issue with it so far is that my wifi connection seems to be interfered whenever I have my watch connected through Bluetooth. I have noticed this since my internet service returns when I turn off the Bluetooth. I have tried factory resetting it on multiple occasion. I even updated my phone and the watch through the wifi router. The phone itself shows that there's a connection but no internet service is actually going through the phone or watch. I've tried looking around but most issues seems to be Bluetooth dropping versus internet service. I hope this can help others that have the same issue.
I have same problem (( I dont know what to do. Is not possible to update my watch even surfing on the internet. Wifi signal is full, but no internet service. In settings is not available Wi-Fi settings. If bluetooth is turned off my internet service works good. (iPhone 6 - iOS 9.3.3, Huawei Watch 1.4 (6.0.1)) What can I do please?
That is by design! Wi-Fi only works when it loses the Bluetooth connection. See this: https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6207505?hl=en
i have this issues in wear 2
I have problem that bluetooth audio get choppy when i use WiFi, i try connect WiFi on 5 Ghz and then is ok, when i turn off WiFi completely there is also ok.
Audio over BT get choppy only when i use WiFi on 2,4Ghz, i know that BT is also on 2,4Ghz but my last phone have no problem with that and 99% of public WiFi networks that are available are in 2,4Ghz
I will also want to use BT headset when im using some public WiFi. What is more stage it happens when i make mobile call, when i listen music there is ok.
