Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but ever since upgrading to the latest leaks my bluetooth has been way more solid. I used to have all kinds of trouble with disconnecting and not pairing with my car (2012 MyFord Touch), those problems have now disappeared.

I don't use Bluetooth in my car, but since loading EL29, my brother has finally stopped complaining about the sound when I talk to him with my Bluetooth headset.
Oh thank Jesus! This has been confusing me ever since I got this phone. Bluetoof worked great on my Evo4G, but not on my E4GT. Great to hear. I'm hoping this fixes the popping and crackling noises too.

It's a high quality Kenwood car stereo that worked flawlessly with my Evo4G and didn't have popping or crackling noises before EK02. The sound quality to the caller has been terrible on the E4GT the whole time however. But I see where you're going there, helpful.
fortunately, for most of us, phone call audio quality has never been much of an issue..
I'm 100% stock 2.3.6. No issues here.

This gives me hope. I've had troubles with my phone disconnecting and the reconnecting to my A2DP headset repeatedly while streaming audio. It never behaved that way with my Epic.
i use the sony ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset with my galaxy nexus but it has problems as that is always disconnecting when the phone is in standby mode. Is there any bluetooth headset that works perfect with galaxy nexus, without discconections and auto pairing every time they are in near distance? I would like to be with 2 corded earbuds like MW600.
No issues so far
I'm using the same one .. never had such issues? though I'm not an excessive user!
I will put it in extreme test, will check and revert ..

I have it, I hate it...
It doesn't disconnect like you said, screen off, if a notification arrives, it plays through MW600...
Altough, you tell about auto pairing, I've noticed that this headset with the galaxy nexus doesn't behave properly, if it is connected, and you walk away (and leave your phone), when you come back, it won't connect, and sometimes, phone bluetooth connection is killed (if you try to turn it off and on again, you won't be able to turn it on)... Also, it doesn't work properly with Galaxy Nexus in ADP, if I play a game, audio is delayed by 1-2 seconds... Same headset in other phones (Motorola Milestone, Nokia E51) work fine, no delay.... In an iPad 2 it also doesn't exhibt this behavior... So, I'm inclined to say that Bluetooth stack in 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 is garbage (since it worked fine in 4.0.2)...
The headset seems great, and if I were using it with my Milestone/E51 or iPad 2, I would be a happy user, but, it simply doesn't work well with Galaxy Nexus in 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 (not sure if other headsets do, I believe they do not, otherwise I would expect to read a lot of complaints here).

Its exactly what you saied friend! Its a big preoblem that auto pairing is not working and that phone bluetooth connection is killed and cannot turn the bluetooth on again. So, have to buy another bluetooth headset???
Try the jaybird freedom. I've used it for 8 months and they worked great until I ran in the rain for a good while and the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore. But that's my fault not really the headset. I am planning to buy another set and be more careful.

Interesting, I got the MW600 mainly to stream music at work on my desktop (was PITA to set up, but that might be a Win7 problem vs SE problem). I have linked it to my phone running various JB ROMs and haven't had any trouble yet.
Fingers crossed. For the 2 weeks I've had it, it's been great for listening to music, but on calls I get complaints of a fair amount of road noise. I'd use it for phone calls in a pinch, but probably not as a main voice headset.
Anyone having any Bluetooth issues with the S6? In particular, with the Jaybird Bluebud X earbuds? I emailed Jaybird support to see if they are aware of any issues. Based on my research, I cant tell for sure if there is a known issue or not.
Basically, heres whats happening. This is the first time Im using a Bluetooth headset but pretty confident this isnt a settings issue.
Bluetooth pairs fine. But if my phone is not within a foot or two, or not in direct line-of-sight of the earbuds, the sound cuts in and out, or totally out. So if I put the phone in my pocket, I lose sound. If I hold the phone behind my back, I lose sound. Bluetooth stays connected, but the sound goes out abruptly. It doesnt get distorted or faint, it just cuts out. If I bring the phone back in line-of-sight, or close to the phone it works great. But it kind of defeats the purpose. I had to hold the phone at my chest on my walk to work this morning in order for it to work right. If I cover the top half of the phone, it goes out (eerily similar to the old iPhone issue with the antenna, if you touch the frame a certain way it seems to go out). But sometimes depending how I touch the controller-side earbud, it goes out. Its as if anything that blocks the line-of-sight or sensors on the phone/earbud, it blocks sound. I tested this in Safe Mode as well and the problem is still there.
For whats its worth, I have a Jambox at home and the S6 connects fine with it, no matter where I am in the apartment or how Im holding the phone. So I really doubt this is a problem with the phone but who knows. I have my old S4 on KitKat at home that I will test with tonight as well.
Some new information after some testing at the office this morning.
Tried the earbuds with a Galaxy Note 4, and iPhone 4S, and the same problem is happening. So thankfully it doesnt look like an issue with the S6. I'll be sending these earbuds back for a new pair and report. If problems continue, obviously I'll be trying another kind of earbuds.
Stopped and picked up the Plantronics Backbeat Go 2. So far, these are working perfectly though they may not be quite as loud. But its good to know it doesnt appear to be a problem with the phone. Must be some kind of compatibility issue with the Bluebuds. I have a replacement set of Bluebuds on the way so Ill report back if they work any better than the first pair.
My bluebud x does the same. Walked over a foot away and the music stops. Walk back closer to the phone music comes back on.
Received my replacement Bluebuds and the same problem occurs. So there must be some kind of compatibility issue.
Jaybird says they are unaware of a known issue but I find that hard to believe.
So Ill be using the Plantronics for now since they seem to work fine.
Samsung S6 issues
I recently purchased the JayBird BlueBud X and literally had the same issue. It connected and paired perfectly fine, but it only lasted for about 10 seconds before the sound went away. You could press any button on the BlueBuds and it would start up again for a few seconds and the sound would go away again. It paired perfectly with my sister's Samsung Galaxy S4 and my friend's iPhone 5. I called their technical support and they suggested, I send it in and get a replacement. I wasn't having any of that BS. I just returned them. Sadly, they were the most comfortable earbuds, I have ever worn. There is some compatibility issues that need looking into.

The same thing happens with my LG Tones, the antenna seems to be in the left side on them and having to go through my body to the phone in my pocket is just too much. It's been an issue with both phones I've used it with, the S6 and the S4 before it. Bluetooth in low power devices just seems to have to be super weak.
Has anyone found a fix for this problem as yet? I have the same issue with my bluebuds when I am at the gym as well.
You don't know how much effort I put into figuring out it was the phone and not the bluebudsx. Ended up returning and getting G new headphones 3 times, before sending in my phone to be replaced. Figured out that the new phone was still dropping the connection too, so it had to be the phone and not the headphones. It really sucks because I run twice daily, and Bluetooth made things so much easier. It looks like just bad hardware from Samsung, so there won't be a fix coming. Just gonna have to used wired headsets again...
Oh and for the record, I'm not having issues with distance causing drops. The drops occur randomly after usage, anywhere from 5 minutes to 6p minutes into my run. So everyday is a new day when I go running, since im always worrying about when my music will cut out and mess up my rhythm. Tested bluebudsx with my N5, Note 4, and EVO LTE. None cut out randomly during runs. So I came to the conclusion it has to be bad hardware on the S6.
glad I saw this, I was considering these for jogging/exercising, I'm presently using a Samsung HS3000 with a pair of Beats UR Beats, guess I'll stick with that combo

I have the LG tone pros and same thing happens to me. I also have a pair of Plantronics Backbeat fits and it also does the same. The phone has poor Bluetooth as well as antenna. My signal sucks most of the time

No issues here and i use them all the time at the gym. Always go drink some water and leaving my phone behind without a hitch. Galaxy S6 W8 Variant with XtreStoLite 1.4a (5.0.2)
Xtrestolite is a Rom for S6, right? That makes me think that it maybe a software issue with the phone not a hardware issue.
I'm wondering if it has to do with 5.0. 2 Android. Has anyone flashed the new 5. 1.1 release? If it is software that's causing issues, maybe something was changed between versions. I would test it myself but I need to stay on 5.0.2 for personal reasons.

Just got my jaybirds and my S6 (G925T) is running 5.1.1 and is having the same issue. Music will play for 30sec-1min but then it cuts out. The bluebuds x work fine on my Nexus 7 which is also running 5.1.1

It seems like I was able to fix the issue for my S6. I enabled Bluetooth HCI snoop log in the Developer options and then copied the file (btsnoop_hci.log) to my computer and found in Wireshark that my Logitech bluetooth adapter was showing up a lot even though it was not paired to my phone. I disconnected the adapter and found that I can play music without the dropped audio. I'd recommend everyone to take a look at their logs and see if there is any weird traffic from other bluetooth devices. It's somewhat disconcerting that a device not even paired to my phone could cause problems with the headphones.

Interesting. I'll try that, but I'm thinking I have a different problem since I can be walking around or running outside and connections will still drop randomly.
I am having the same issue on Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge +. Soooo annoying. The only pattern that I was able to figure out is that sound will cut out every time there is a Bluetooth interference. Even when there are no other Bluetooth devices within miles. When ever you have any other apps running in the background that try to connect to Bluetooth devices sound will cut out. For example when u have some fitness tracking app trying to connect to a Bluetooth device that is not with you. It seems that there are few different ways that your sound cuts out and all has to do with Bluetooth interference or searching. It would be awesome if someone has a solution.
Samsung GS6 and Jaybird Bluebuds X connecting
Hello all,
I was having the same issue with my Samsung GS6 ATT running 5.1.1.
I would put the phone in my pocket or walk a few feet away and the signal would drop out (skip).
Reading all the posts on here stating it wasn't the buds I tried the one thing that possibly on mine can cause the bad signal.
I removed my case! (OBLIQ case)
Since doing that I can walk 30 ft away without being in line of sight of my phone with no drops.
I'm having no issues during training, with my new pair of Jaybird Bluebuds X and my Galaxy S6 running Stock 5.1.1. BTW I'm using a Ringle SLIM case on my S6.
It's there any way to show battery percentage on an Android Phone? . This is possible on IOS.
Excellent troubleshooting, icj217 - I experienced this same issue to where the audio would drop between every 5-8 mins on my GS6 using the Bluebuds X (regardless of distance). I've cleared all the paired devices (including the Bluebuds X) on my GS6 and re-paired the headphones and they seem to be working fine now. I'm wondering what's going to happen once I re-pair all my other bluetooth devices. If I inherit the problem again, this will be just another reason to dump the GS6 and go back to my Nexus 5.

Hey guys,
I purchased this unit from Amazon and absolutely love the radio, but I've tried to get 4 different modern phones to connect their call audio through the radio, but all I get is silence. I can hear the unit switch audio inputs but nothing comes through the speakers.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015IVIN9U/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
However, BT music streaming works just fine.

I ordered another unit in case one was bad, but still have the same problem.
The manufacturer seems responsive, but I'm losing patience, any suggestions to fix this problem?

Have you tried with another phone?
UnfortunatelyI tested with 4 phones:
Iphone 6s plus
LG V10
Samsung Note 5
HTC One M8
Almost feels like something is not wired properly, yet everything works fine except call audio.
What would cause media audio to work via BT, but not call audio?
The only item I can think of is the BT settings on the phone, but all phones were configured for call and media streaming.
Did you ever find a resolution to this issue?
Have been bench testing my new unit for that past week, was sad to discover this. At least it is able to alert a phone call in various ways.

Yes!
I sourced my amplifier using the rear RCA outputs on the Joying HU, after realizing that most manufacturers output call audio to the front channels only, I resolved the problem by moving my RCA cables to the front set of HU outputs.
Hope this helps others.
I ran into this with my wife's Iphone 6 today. My LG G3 works great, but the Iphone keeps switching back from bluetooth to itself for call audio. No amplifier in the car.
We are going to try updating the iOS on it and see if that makes any difference...

I could be way off here, but similar thing happened when I switched from Android to an iPhone. Found out that if you answer the call from your iPhone, it will switch to the iPhone earpiece. You have to answer incoming calls via the hands free device (your steering controls or the touchscreen) to keep the audio going through the Bluetooth.

The video shows you are using a Malaysk ROM. Did you try the latest ROM for your unit?
I am bench-testing my Eonon GA2114 (RK3188, 800x480) and had the same issue. I installed Malaysk's Dec 4 ROM and the problem is solved for me.

I'm using the completely stock software, haven't touched it yet
So my Bluetooth randomly cuts audio and starts stuttering... Any ideas? I'm full stock...

on what kind of device, and what version of BT does that device support?
It happens to me too, but only with cheap devices listening to music, it does not happen when talking.
Happens on my Echo & 2014 Audi A4. People say disabling wifi will fix it. 7.1.2 looks like it IMPROVES it but doesn't RESOLVE it.
I say returning the phone and buying an iPhone will fix it...because both my Echo and my Audi worked fine with my iPhones.
It happens with my Sony headphones mdr-x950...
They are pretty good I guess...
