Choppy Bluetooth audio when moving


Recommended Posts

I've a few Bluetooth headphones and each of them go very choppy (audio cuts out, track keeps playing) when I move. I've tried it with the case but it means if walking (let alone running) with my headphones on I lose a lot of audio. These headphones were fine with previous devices. 

 

Anyone else having this or have tips? It's not any case as I've tried it with and without a case and have the same issues.

In general my phone is poor for connection - wifi is okay but cellular calls take 20s to connect outgoing and most incoming go straight to voicemail now.

Assuming you are talking about the Pro¹X. It's not surprising, quite the opposite. Putting together the hardware and running Android on it is the easy part. Although the keyboard form factor makes it harder than most I guess. What's tricky is to get it all to work optimally and even huge international corporations sometimes fail at that so we would be very lucky to have best connectivity with the Pro¹X especially on day one.

@Slion, in all fairness and understanding: wireless connectivity is the central capability of a mobile phone. It should also be at the center of the design and QA. The Pro1 was not outstanding in this respect, but the Pro1X is obviously failing to be useful at all for some users because of the quality of its radios. While I hope they will be able to improve behaviour in future firmwares, these bugs should have been ironed-out in the prototype phase.

For what it's worth, I have yet to see a really stable Bluetooth connection. Especially in my house, when there also is 2 GHz WiFi in use, Bluetooth and WiFi also interfere with each other because they transmit in the same frequency band. Lately, when I tried walking around the house with headphones on (JVC HA-S30BT) and the Pro1X in my back pocket, I only had very few hiccups and drop-outs, though.

Confirm this with a Pro1. I sometimes stream music (from youtube) to a bluetooth speaker via the Pro1. When the latter uses the 2.4-GHz-wifi band, there can be a ver short hickup in the bt-audio when the player downloads another bit of the youtube stream. Can be prevented by forcing the Pro1 to use the 5-GHz WiFi bands (which sadly have lower range) ...

Of course, both, 2.4-GHz-WiFi and bluetooth should be able to handle this kind of interference according to their spec, but reality obviously disagrees. When we bought our house in 2017, everyone was laughing at me when I wired different rooms with RCA cables to distribute audio. Guess what: I think these cables have a bright future ahead of them ...
