Hello!
I'm very close to buying this phone (assuming availability...) but have one major concern: my current LG p880 has a serious issue of WiFi and Bluetooth conflict. This means that I cannot use them at the same time (e.g. stream music and listen through Bluetooth speakers).
My girlfriend's iPhone does this with no problem.
For those who already have the device: did you encounter any such problems?
Thanks!

Thread's a bit old but I'm having the problem he's trying to avoid.
When connected to my Sony SRS-BTX500 bluetooth speaker (is it really aptX capable because my phone says so but couldn't find info about it online) while streaming music over WiFi or surfing the net the music drops out for half a second and then plays again normally every now and then but the more serious problem is that sometimes I can't even surf the net while being connected to bluetooth because it simply isn't able to load the page.
It just happend to me minutes ago on facebook. I was surfing completely normal then decided to listen to music on the bluetooth speaker by streaming music from Spotify over WiFi and when I wanted to continue surfing facebook it couldn't load the next page.
After switching bluetooth off and reloading the page everything worked normal.
After reconnectiong both worked together but the sound droped out every now and then.
I'm on stock Sony firmware and ROM 17.1.A.2.55 bought in Germany.
Kind regards

That's interesting (and annoying). By now I have the phone (bought on eBay Germany) running the same firmware and I have no such problems. I stream music over Wifi, play it with a Bluetooth system and surf the web without delays or breaks in the music.
Maybe Spotify streams in a very high quality that you can reduce?
With my previous phone I partly solved the wifi/BT conflict with an app called Bluetooth Keepalive. It was working quite well. Maybe you could give it a try.
I already lowered the streaming quality of Spotify to normal because with extreme I didn't could think about surfing the net.
As far as I remember the WiFi even dropped out several times on extreme quality.
I just looked in the Playstore and I will sure as hell not pay money for an app which maybe solves a problem which shouldn't even exist in the first place and especially not on a high-end smartphone for 600€!
WiFi too slow when Bluetooth active. Sony Xperia z2
Hello, it has been a while since the last post here. I have a Sony Xperia z2 phone and I realized that the WiFi connection was too slow. I have also an iPad air and a Samsung galaxy 10.1 2014 that are connected to the same router and that were really fast. They were at 10Mbps while the phone was under 1 Mbps and very unstable. The tests I have done were made with ookla speed test. I tried restarting both the router and the phone but the prone was still there, so I tried to change battery settings and WiFi settings with all the possible mix. But the speed didn't went up. So I started killing some connections like NFC, GPS, but nothing changed, so when the moment arrived for testing turning off the Bluetooth connection, everything changed. The speed was over 6Mbps for the first time and after that test all the tests were over 5 Mbps.
Everything showed that the problem was the Bluetooth, but not being so easy to believe, I started one test and while the download test was showing speed over 6 Mbps, I turned on the Bluetooth and instantly the speed went under 1 Mbps.
With this experiment I have demonstrated myself that the problem was the Bluetooth connection.
I would want that this post change the focus of this problem and lead to a solution different than turning off the Bluetooth while using WiFi.
Thanks for your support...
I can confirm that turning Bluetooth on and off during a speed test definitely interferes with the connection. It slows or stops the test when you turn Bluetooth on or off. Interesting!

Does anyone have a prime that you have Bluetooth turned on and streaming, and you have wifi on and streaming (say Netflix and external speakers) and it works?
I just want to know if SOME primes have Bluetooth and wifi working at the same time.
I have a Prime with working bluetooth and wifi when on together. Last night I paired my Prime to my phone via bluetooth and transfered about 130megs of stuff over to the Prime (the only thing I have with bluetooth). While doing that I was watching a whole bunch of clips on Youtube with no problems - a mix of HD and non-HD videos.
Speedtest when both BT and Wifi on does not show a huge problem for me.
The only issue I have right now is a non-working GPS.
Humm, I just think that most people have not tried and it's a bigger issue. Mine is useless if bluetooth is on the wifi stops dead.
Mine works fine as well. Here is the link to my OP with video of Wifi/BT streaming.

I have this same exact issue. Wifi is fine, even with BT on but GPS is a no pogo go.
If I connect to a BT gps device, turn on the Bluetooth gps program after pairing, my wifi goes straight downhill and almost completely stops, even though wifi signal strength is strong.
I haven't tried other Bluetooth devices.
Mine is also working

I can stream Bt Audio to headphones while playing a file via wifi on a windows share well. However the audio is not in sync, but for me the sync if off even if I turn off the wireless radio.
Mine works together but wifi slows down drastically until I turn off the Bluetooth device.

Maybe they should have put a wifi radio in with the dongle too to alleviate the wifi problems while streaming bluetooth as well. I ran this same scenario a hand full of times and at best I lost 10mbps at worst I lost 13mbps I'm also within 5ft of my router. Its still comletely fucntional for any streaming media I've used so far as long as I'm at home sitting on my router.
In the first test in the video the music was coming from the internal speaker in the prime the download was 13.21mbps and the upload was 14.00mbps. the second test I turned on bluetooth and it connected to my external speaker download was 3.30mbps and upload was 6.32mbps. For both tests ping was unaffected over all the tests I did the ping was between 54ms and 31ms.

I can't tether the internet from my cell phone to my prime when I'm on 3g and listen to music or stream video with my bluetooth headset on it wont even load. I don't even try anymore and this is a huge issue for me. I wish we could have gotten a solution in the gps dongle that also worked in the dock and wasn't so hideous
Hi guys,
So I just picked up my Galaxy S3 on an Optus contract. I noticed if I am in a call with my Bluetooth headset while my wifi is on and my wifi will constantly disconnect. It wont disconnect if I am not in a call but as soon as i go into a call with the Bluetooth my wifi goes crazy.
Does anyone else have these issues?
Edit: I am on the latest software update and I have tried turning off the power saving mode and resetting the phone. None of which has worked.
Does anyone have any advice?

This has not fixed it for me. I have even flashed custom roms and still having the same issue. I am not back on my stock rom and thinking about returning for warranty.
Yeah I have the same issue, bluetooth can be on and not connected with no problem, but once connected to something the the wifi will drop randomly.
There seems to be no pattern sometimes it will drop in a few seconds to 30mins very random.
Old topic, but I've found that if Bluetooth is working hard then the wi-fi throughput drops to almost nothing and also keeps droppping the connection.
I found this when streaming with Apt-X from online services such as Spotify, Rdio and Napster (I've tried them all). I've also streamed from my NAS over wi-fi.
To confirm this I've run the SpeedTest app when streaming Apt-X and when not. With no streaming I get excellent speeds, when streaming (from an mp3 stored on the phone) the test either fails due to a failed connection or it hobbles along and gives very poor results.
I suspect the same aerial is being used for both wi-fi and Bluetooth.
I'm using 2.4GHz wi-fi; it's possible that 5GHz wi-fi may not have this issue.
Has anyone had any success with android auto and the V10? I have not been able to connect to my NEX4100 via android auto AND bluetooth....
I think there are general bluetooth issues. I have a 2014 Cadillac with CUE Bluetooth and the V10 connects fine but no media can play. Calls work fine. I've tried many of the tricks that helped with the LG G4 (turning media audio off in settings after connecting then turning it back on) to no avail.
Between this and the force restarts, I may return this phone and go with the Nexus 6P. Also annoyed that verizon is selling the Qi chargin back as an accessory...
I had the same issue with my 2014 Jetta and the V10, took me 30 minutes of restarting bluetooth, turning the phone off and on, turning the car off and on and finally I switched my car to FM and the bluetooth connected to also support media audio. After that it worked ok. No idea what's up with the bluetooth but for my wireless headset it paired without issue. Seems picky

Same strange issues here.
Paired no problem to a 2015 Honda Accord. Unable to pair to a 2011 BMW X3 (however the HTC One M8, M9, Samsung Galaxy Avant and Light all pair no problem). And it paired no problem to a 2016 BMW X3.
And at the gym, it disconnected from the bluetooth headset while I was using it. Wouldn't reconnect until I powered the headset off and back on.
I've got the nex4100 as well and I have had no issues at all. Everything works as it should.

I don't know. Others in the thread seem to be confirming the issue your having but I seem to be the only one with the exact same head unit. Do you have the update for the head unit? My S5 had issues before the update. Update is kind of old but it did help with my S5. And Android Auto is working fine.

I am up to date on the 4100. So i swapped it out today and now it works with Android Auto, however it still does not work with bluetooth which is super odd.. to my understanding when you plug the phone in to connect to AA it still transmits the audio over bluetooth. Pioneer said it could be something wrong with the media bluetooth profile or something. Anyways i guess im stuck until they fix it. Maybe when android M comes out.
I don't know about Android Auto, but I definitely think the V10 has Bluetooth issues. I traded my Galaxy S6 Edge+ in for a V10 a week ago. I notice the Bluetooth audio is consistently "skipping" on both my car's audio and my Bluetooth headphones. Both devices worked flawlessly on my S6. Sometimes my car will even completely disconnect from the phone and I have to go through a complete reset/re-add process to get it back.
Hoping a 6.0 update will come soon and fix this issue.

Just an update as I just ran new cable in the car for the new phone. Everything tested out fine for me. The car is an 02 Camaro that I don't drive often now that it's cold outside but after hearing your problems I wanted to make sure everything was working the way it's supposed to. I don't think bluetooth audio while on Android Auto worked at all but Google play works just fine. Bluetooth audio was flawless when not connected to Android Auto. Tested it on and off Wi-Fi. Good to hear your better after the swap.

I'm having problems connecting to my 2015 GMC Sierra (GMC Intellilink). I can connect, connect automatically, make and receive phone calls, but the bluetooth audio for music DOES NOT WORK. Most of the time, when I try to play a song via google play music or Deezer, the head unit in my truck immediately goes BLACK for about 10 seconds, I hear a whirrr of an internal fan, and it starts back up disconnected from the phone. The phone is causing the head unit to fail & restart. Sometimes it doesn't restart. It'll show the progress bar of the music, as well as on my phone. I can pause, play, next song, etc. but NO AUDIO comes out. It's just dead silent.
I'll let you guys know what my dealership says, as it's in service right now for this issue. I'm hoping there's an update for the software :/
When I bluetooth over to my $300 Sony x-7s speaker, every 10 seconds or so I get a loud static pop. Luckily I kept my note3 so I just use that until an update (hopefully) will fix the issue, so I can listen to my Howard Stern on the v10. I am surprised they didn't push an update on or near release date. Maybe they are going straight to Marshmallow.
So i have an update after having a week or so to play around with it. Although I cannot connect to my NEX 4100 via bluetooth I can use google play music via android auto. Also i cannot use spotify on AA UNLESS i hit play on google play music first then pause then try to play a song on spotify...... very strange.
I'm glad it's not just me... Same weird bluetooth issues here with my Mercedes E63 AMG and the COMMAND unit. It was working flawlessly with my last phone (Xperia Z3.) The V10 is nothing but a headache so far. The following problems are happening:
Won't connect at all, and hangs.
Connects for calls only, no media.
Connects, instantly disconnects, cycle repeats.
To fix it I either have to keep manually connecting from COMMAND, until it randomly works. Or disconnect from the phone, and reconnect again. Or turn bluetooth off and on. On the note of which, half the time I do that, it hangs. Love the phone, but I'm going to return it if this goes on.
Further note: I even took the car in to the dealer, and paid 150 bucks to get the latest firmware updates done on it. That didn't fix it either. Tried my Xperia again, still works flawlessly. Ugh.
I had an interesting issue with bluetooth.
I paired it to my 2015 Jeep Overland.
Music from SD Card played fine.
Then tried pandora. Nothing worked. Disabled bluetooth and pandora was fine. Went back to local mp3s from SD card and they would not play now.
Had to un-pair and pair it again. Then mp3s worked.
Played pandora and nothing and that broke mp3s again.
Then I tried my g4 on Sprint. Pandora worked fine.
Also tried Tune in Radio and that worked on v10 over bluetooth.
I think it is caused by Binge On from t- mobile downsampling the stream on pandora and the Uconnect radio does not like the bitrate or format.
I did read t-mobile will downsample streamed movies.
So folks with bluetooth issues, what are you testing with?
I have a less standard setup. I connect to my 2012 Cadillac system as a phone only, and I have an aptx bt dongle attached to the aux port that I'm connected to as a media device.
My phone connects to both simultaneously, and hands the phone back and forth for calls and music. It works flawlessly, and the audio quality way better than any OEM bt streaming that I've ever heard.
I have a Pioneer DEH 80PRS in my truck and it has connected and works perfect just like my G3 did. It always auto connects when entering the vehicle and hands off between streaming Tune in radio or from the SD card using the Android music player app and a phone call no problem. Hopefully the guys having problems will get a fix when the phone is given some MM goodness.
Same issues with Bluetooth and my 4100nex. Calls work, Android auto works, Bluetooth music does not. I'm in my 14 day window. This may be a deal breaker for me. Kinda regret ditching my note 4 for this.
Yall think it will get fixed with an update, or are we permanently screwed?

I am having the same problem with my LG V10. It won't stay connected to my Lexus 2015. The only thing I found that would work is if I keep the phone unlocked.

Same issue between LG V10 T-Mobile and my Bluetooth audio on my 2014 Kia Optima SX. I also have similar connectivity issues between the phone and the Microsoft Band. Similar reports on the Microsoft boards of same Bluetooth issues with the Band and V10. Sounds like a problem on the LG side to me.
Just picked up my C5 Ultra, was happy until I tried to use its bluetooth with my car's built-in system (Mazda).
I have two problems:
- continuous stuttering to the point it's not usable, usually starts 1-2 minutes after starting to play music
- when trying to make a call, the phone doesn't route the call to the car, it shows it sending audio to bluetooth device, but no sound comes it also doesn't respond to the call end button in my car
Anybody else with bluetooth problems? Strange thing is it's only my car, it seems to work fine with my bluetooth headset. And there were no issues with my car with my old phones.
same problem here
Thank God someone posted this. I also have a bluetooth headset and from time to time, there's some stuttering then the music stops playing. To fix this, I have to turn off my bluetooth in my phone and restart my bluetooth headset and pair the two again.
I thought this issue is only limited to audio devices. I bought an LG watch urbane and from time to time, the watch gets disconnected. When I try to pair it again, it won't connect even if I try several times. It will only connect if I restart my watch and try to pair it again.
I also have a Moto 360, and there's a lot more random disconnects with this phone than any other phone I've used before. However, it does normally reconnect very quickly. But I did have to disable the vibrate on connect/disconnect because it got to be annoying.
I've given up on my car's bluetooth and using another bluetooth receiver and aux-in to my car's stereo. It seems that the older the bluetooth device, the more likely to have issues. Bluetooth 3.0/4.0 headsets seem to work fine.

by the way, I have tried my watch urbane connecting to my huawei 4x and it doesn't get disconnected randomly. If it gets disconnected because I left my phone from another room, it will quickly get connected again when I'm near unlike the C5 Ultra that needs my watch to be restarted to be able to connect again.
Check In settings -> xperia connectivity -> throw settings -> Auto-select wirelles option if it is close. if not, close and try. Maybe this help
Not working with my Huawei Watch, it gets paired but inmediatly disconnects asking "add as trusted device?" and after that it's imposible to reconnect. Any help will be will be welcomed.
This phone honestly sucks in many ways. I love the hardware but the software and the cpu is the problem on this phone. Bluetooth sucks, slow processor and ...yea..slow loading on everything. I know it's the phone's bluetooth that disconnects my bluetooth earphones and car audio because it never happened on my Nexus 6. We'll just have to wait till Sony releases Marshmallow on our phones.
Bluetooth cuts in and out when paired
Updated to marshmallow and my Bluetooth still cuts in and out when paired to my boss mini speaker .Sony really has to fix this if they want to remain in the competitive cellphone market.If any suggestions on how to solve this issue please help.
After the update I am also having problems with Bluetootn. In sleep mode Bluetootn off. Accordingly, all the time the connection is lost with the Sony SmartWatch 3 hours. Tired of this problem

Yup, bluetooth shutting off is causing all sorts of problems with my Pebble smartwatches too. Basically made them completely useless because of the disconnects soon after the phone is idle.
I'm pretty sure it's tied to the Doze function in Marshmallow, but even when I disable Doze for the Pebble watch app and bluetooth share app, I still have issues. I even got an app called "Disable Doze" to completely turn off Doze functionality. It seems to help, but I still have occasional drops.
Bluetooth seriously sucks on this phone...
Found a solution
I found out what causing that bluetooth disconnects on my Xperia C5 Ultra Dual. It's when wifi and bluetooth are turned on at the same time. I turned off wifi and bluetooth connection is now stable.
My pebble also was disconnecting and it was annoying with all the vibration and it wasn't event reconnecting. But after I turned off the wifi bug is gone. I read that this is a common bug with Xperia Sad...

I'll have to give that a try, I stopped using my C5 because I couldn't stand the bluetooth issues anymore. I'm using, of all things, my 4 year old Nexus 4 now (which I should say works perfectly...)
bluetooth of sonyc5ultra is worst working in connectivity . useless , disconnecting from blue tooth device by its own. Getting irritating by bluetooth issue.
Same Problem here also
I have BLUEDIO bluetooth headphone, it disconnect after restarting bluetooth in my sony c5. When I try to pair it again, it won't connect even if I try it again and again the whole day. It only connect if I restart sony c5 and try to pair it again.
