Bluetooth audio playback issue due to wifi?

[nd4spdbh]

Hi Everyone,

Recently started having an issue with my moto g5s plus. Ill be playing audio over bluetooth to any of my various bluetooth speakers / car then all of the sudden audio will stop being transmitted to the device and it will start coming out of the phone. One way to solve it is re-do the pairing which is a no brainer as to why that "solves it". But another way is to turn wifi off, wait a bit, then turn it back on and walla, audio stops playing out of the phone and goes back to the bluetooth device that was never disconnected!!?!?!

This is REALLY odd, has anyone else had this issue, if so what was your solution.

Latest 7.1.1 android with June 1st security update (NPSS26.116-48-18). The issue has started within the last few weeks, doesnt matter what audio app (pandora / play music etc) and doesnt matter what bluetooth device it is hooked to. Wifi Location scanning has been turned off, same problem.

WHAT TO DO!??!

This is happening to me too this is so annoying as I use phone for car audio. I re did the pairing but no luck. And I have had huge Bluetooth battery drain too.

So tempted to flash custom rom as its taking so long for Oreo or even a security update 4 months behind here in NZ for security

right, im in the same boat. I dont know if it was the security update with the June 1st security update (actually i know it wasnt this as i have been running this for a long while without issue). So this begs the question what the hell changed to make it start popping to speaker audio when listening to bluetooth audio and wifi disconnects?!?!

It's been happening to me since I got this device, and it also happened on my older Moto G3, it's a ROM optimization problem as far as I know. If I'm not mistaken, the Bluetooth and WiFi chips are the same, and the ROM does not handle pretty well both active connections at the same time. Custom ROMs seem to do this pretty well, so if you really want to fix this I suggest you install a custom ROM, or maybe wait for the Oreo update and see if that fixes the problem.

I have had this phone since it came out over a year ago. This issue has just started to happen within the last month or two. My vehicle, wifi at home and work, bluetooth devices i hook to in and around the office and home have not changed.

I got it today, I'm on retus channel. I'll test the Bluetooth and report back if the problem is solved.

UPDATE: Problem still there.

Others are claiming that updates are starting to roll in for retus. So hopefully your wait will get shorter.
