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.

Hello Nexus Community,
I just became a Nexus 5x Owner after half a year of Sony Z5c horror
Of course i opted in as a beta tester for Nougat. I didn't use the phone with Marshmallow at all, so i don't know whether its a hardware or a software error i got.
I cannot connect to my cars bluetooth. Other devices can connect to my car and my Nexus can connect to other BT devices. But i can't pair it with my car. It just doesnÄt do anything when tapping "SEAT-BT" in the bluetooth settings.
Any idea?
My Nexus 6P updated to 7.1 last night and the Pixel came today, so this likely is a 7.1 issue.
I have a 2012 GM Equinox that was working great with teh Nexus 6P pre 7.1, Never tried it with 7.1 because it came after I was home and had no reason to be in the car and the new Pixel came today.
Neither will work with bluetooth, although both say that they are paired, neither connects unless I am in the Android pairing screens. Once off those, the connection goes away, the light on the car goes away, no connection. This was tested on both phones, and the results are the same all the time. The car sees each phone, pairs with each phone, but the magic that happens when you connect doesn't happen.
Other devices are connecting via BT (such as my fitbit) but the car pairs but never connects (again, unless on the android pair screen or if I use the car and select a phone, it'll connect for a second but goes away).
Have seen other complaints, thought I'd add mine to the world
I have an Acadia and mine works perfectly
I have a 2014 GMC Sierra and everything is working perfectly. Calls and music have been flawless so far.

I appreciate that, but on the google pixel help groups, there are a bunch of us with the issue. We all describe it the same as well.

I see someone else posted that issue as well. Maybe is because I after market radio in my car
I have a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and my 6p and Pixel XL. They both pair and work fine with the stock radio.

So weird, I just posted the exact same problem in a new thread just below this so mods please delete mine. I have the exact same issues. Both new Pixel and Pixel XL will not fully pair. My truck is a 201o Silverado, the pairing process goes smoothly, the truck says it is paired but the phone does not pair, let's go Google. BTW the XL pairs with my BT speaker in my house so not sure what's wrong

I had a similar problem with my Hyundai Genesis 2011. The problem is the Nexus and pixel phones with Android 7+ can't seem to automatically detect the cars Bluetooth. So on my car I went to phone and clicked add where it tells you your cars Bluetooth password and add device then refresh Bluetooth pairing on the phone and it should appear.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Thanks, the phone is showing as paired on both the phone itself and on the car, it just never actually connects after pairing, does nothing with contacts nor keeps a connection longer than 4 seconds. It'll say Pixel XL then swap to Onstar Handsfree and the bluetooth connected indicator light simply goes out.
I have the same or exceptionally similar issue... Some better detail on my issue:
Phone: Pixel XL
Car Head Unit: Pumpkin Android Head Unit
Bluetooth worked perfectly with my Note 5.
Pixel detects the "Car Kit"
The head unit detects the Pixel
They pair fine and appear to connect. However after just a few seconds the bluetooth on the phone shows
"Car Kit (No Phone)" - Connected ..... It then disconnects, reconnects and repeats.
Cleared Bluetooth cache on head unit - Can't find a bluetooth cache on the Pixel XL.
No idea where to go from here.
Hello there,
just got me a new A3 (2017) and I'm having issues with the bluetooth connection in my car and I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
With my previous mobile and also with my company phone, the car audio and the phone always connected automatically as soon as I switched on the iginition (and as long as bluetooth was enabled of course). The A3, however, does not auto connect. They're paired all right, but I always have to prompt the A3 to connect to the car audio, even when the company phone is not present.
In addition the bluetooth media player function is really annoying me, because the music (or audible) speeds up and slows down all the time as if someone is turning a speed dial. If I connect via audio cable (or if I listen on the headphones) it doesn't do that, but nevertheless it's bloody inconvenient.
Anyone got the same problem, or an idea how to solve that, please? Much appreciated!
Thanks
Archer
I have my A3 in production for less than a week, but it feels like it autoconnects 3 out of 4 times. My previous phones autoconnected like 99 out of 100 times.
I've no idea (yet).
I got the same problem I have a2dp enabled in my car, so it should start playing after it is connected. In fact it does but the audio is kinda stuttering. If I then turn the Bluetooth off and back on again it works like expected.
I think it might be fault of some internal ram or battery management.
I hope Samsung is going to fix that.

After 3 weeks it's gone up to (at least) 9 out of 10. Again, not hard measurements but 'feel' numbers. So it might not be as bad as I initially thought. And therefore unrelated to the OP problem.
hey man! what is your car? I'm going to buy a new A3 2017 my and don't wanna have this kind of issues (I just sold my s4 mini two days ago, no issues with the BT of my car)
FWIW, It's a Prius II.
