Music stream breaks when output is bluetooth over wifi

Hi,
I own Iphone 4s which runs IOS 6.
I’m streaming music to bluetooth device from sky.fm, audio galaxy and similar applications.
When the iphone is connected to the network via wifi, the music stops every ~2 minutes,for a second or less – very annoying.
This doesn’t happen when I’m connected to the network via 3g.
I've tried to disable all services which polls for data (e.g. mail) but nothing help
Any advice,

Didn't think of that, thanks. Great workaround.I'm going to call Sky, see if they have any firmware updates or other solution. Surely they wouldn't leave such a big knows issue unfixed. I'll report back with what they say. Edit:Just got off the phone from Sky technical support.This issue was first reported Nov/Dec 2014.The chap I spoke to does not know of a fix, or whether a fix is being worked on, or if a fix will ever be worked on.He has not way of contacting the development team to find out any of this information.He said firmware updates are pushed out to routers every now and again. He does not know when this is going to happen and does not have a way to notify about firmware updates installed on my router. (This terrifies me. Sky have a backdoor into my router and can install any code they wish, without even telling me what they changed/installed). There is no way to turn these auto-updates off either. Here's a key thing he did say though:He said he was not at liberty to provide my ADSL credentials, but if I chose to extract them from the router and install my own router instead, they would not have any problem with that.When I told him that this was against their TOS and they could terminate my contract for doing this, he went silent and just said "errr..." Allowing Sky, their subcontractors and anyone else they choose to install any code they wish to my router whenever they please and have free open access to my entire LAN is a total deal breaker for me. That router is getting unplugged today and I'm putting a new router on the credit card. I told tech support this. I said if they have a problem with that, let's go the legal route. I literally have a recorded call where they give me permission to install my own router.

    When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

  • Is streaming free when you're in a wifi area

    I was told that internet usage is free on my Iphone 4 when I'm in a wifi network. Does that go for streaming on Iheart radio as well?

    For the most part, yes streaming music on WiFi does not count on cellular data. You can turn on Airplane Mode or disable Cellular Data via settings/phone and then activate WiFi if it gives you comfort.

  • LTE calls drop when iMessages come in over wifi

    Have only had Verizon since my iPhone 5 purchase (~3.5 weeks).  Get about 3 bars of LTE in the house, and have WIFI.  Tonight, I had a crazy experience of about 5 dropped calls one right after another. (With 3 bars still always visible).  I was getting iMessaged at the time (over WIFI, presumably), and I'm connecting the two events, because I've had a few long conversations at other times without having a problem. 
    Not seeing much out there to help me. There's some similar-sounding chatter that suggests that LTE might be the culprit.  I'm happy to turn LTE off, while I'm at home (and hey, I actually get 5 bars of 3G).  Advice would be appreciated. Because that was beyond ridiculously frustrating and I looked like a complete unprofessional on a really important call.  I was amazed and embarrassed.  I actually switched away from ATT because of all the dropped calls and terrible coverage.  I think my Verizon coverage is fine...there's just some setting that needs to be set up so this doesn't happen again.
    thanks

        Thank you Ann154 for you response. I appreciate you taking the time to help out.
    @karenjs,
    I've research this and did not find it to be a known reported issue. I apologize for the inconvenience. I definitely understand the importance of having a reliable connection especially when it comes to calls for work.
    As Ann154 mentioned calls do not run over the LTE network. If you were connected to WiFi it should not affect your calls. Does this only happen while connected to WiFi inside your home? Has this happened in other areas? If you turn WiFi off are you still experiencing dropped calls?
    Please provide additional details so I can better assist you.

  • How can you enter a line-break when using a Bluetooth Keyboard or onscreen Keyboard?

    In Pages & Keynote the only way to force a line break I have found is to put your finger at the end of a line until the select/insert option appears and then selecting insert, then select line break.
    This is frustratingly slow when typing a presentation or document so I bought a Logitech Ultrathin Bluetooth keyboard assuming that would have the Shift+Enter shortcut to make a line break. It doesn't, nor can I find any key combination that does, it's always a new paragraph, or nothing happens.
    I have an Ipad3,  IOS 6.1.3. I've spoken to Logitech support - they said talk to Apple iOS support, I spoke with a chap at IOS support who didn't know what a line break was, didn't know shift+enter on a PC made a line break so didn't understand my question and ended the call.
    Anyone know how to create the shortcut as an alternative to the onscreen slow way?

    Yes

    You can also download the remote app if you have an IOS device

  • WiFi breaks when transferring large file over LAN

    Hi guys,My WiFi mostly behaves itself, however if I try to transfer a large file (The last one was ~1GB) over the LAN (standard SMB file copy), WiFi drops out. It gets roughly 30MB through before connectivity is lost.The WiFi continues to show as connected, but I cannot even ping my router.Only disconecting and reconnecting WiFi re-establishes the connection.Any idea what's up? (My router is the black 'home hub' style. I can't find any version information in it's admin panel.) (And before someone asks, no I'm not telling you the contents of the file as it isn't relevant. With the greatest of respect, if you just ask unrelated questions to pry, please don't waste everyones time.)

    Didn't think of that, thanks. Great workaround.I'm going to call Sky, see if they have any firmware updates or other solution. Surely they wouldn't leave such a big knows issue unfixed.

  • How to play the music in a HIFI system using bluetooth or WIFI

    How to throw music from Sony Xperia Tablet S to another device, I have tried without success to throwthe music to Windows Media Player 11 (in a Windows Vista and in a Windows 7 computer), using DLNA/DRM, and also to Bluetooth. What I want is to listen the music in a HIFI system, without the need to be connected by a cable. Both DLNA/DRM and Bluetooth tecnologies should support this.
    I have configured DLNA and I can play in the tablet music that is in the both windows computers, but the next step I am trying is to be free to play the music from the servers in the Xperia tablet using any HIFI system at home.

    I have found the solution: check "Allow remote control of my player" option is checked in the Streaming menu (Alt + r) of WMP..
    Here is the full explanation, I am able now to throw the music from the tablet to the laptop and I will connect the laptop to the HIFI system.
    DLNA in Windows 7
    I used the Windows Media Player in Windows 7 for initial testing. It does not comply to all DLNA specifications for all components, but it uses the same underlying protocols. It does have a "Play To" feature, which is an implementation of the capability I need.
    Windows Media Player (WMP) is easily able to see all of the Media Servers on my network. If you can get to the beginning of the breadcrumb bar near the top of the window, all servers are easily selected. The breadcrumb bar is an easy way to switch between media servers and drill down to get to the media you want to search or browse for. The Search field is the only location in WMP I can easily locate. Just press Control + 1, to switch to Library view, then Control + e, to place you in the Search edit field. Here is a list of WMP keyboard shortcuts I have compiled, Windows Media Player To DLNA Devices in Word .docx format. I have not found easy ways to get to most controls, including the Playlist, other than pressing Tab many times. The exceptions to this are few. The Search results can easily be found just by using the Down Arrow key. Particularly, useful for streaming media around the house are two control accellerators; the Streaming menu (Alt + r) at the top of the window, and the Play to drop down (Alt + t) above the Playlist. It saves a lot of Tabbing around. They only work if in a list, like the Search or Playlist. Strangely, the Alt + t accellerator everywhere else brings up the Tools menu. The Streaming menu is needed to set up permissions of the Player to share media, act as a renderer to other Windows 7 players, set Parental controls, allow / deny devices on the network, and to allow media on this server to be piped out to your computer anywhere on the Internet. To assure that your Media Library is available to others on your home network anytime the computer is turned on, make sure the "Automatically allow others to play my media" option is checked in the Streaming menu (Alt + r). To assure that other devices (Android phone, another Windows 7 / 8 computer, or XBox) can play media on this computer, make sure the "Allow remote control of my player" option is checked in the Streaming menu (Alt + r). Note that Windows Media Player must be open on this computer for other devices to be able to select and Play to this player. The Play To drop down menu lists all devices on your networkk capable of rendering, more simply said Play, the selected media. In most cases, WMP will direct all network traffic and transcode formats to the format accepted by the renderer.
    The "Play to" menu above the Playlist in Windows Media Player is also available as an option in the Applications (right click) context menu in Windows Explorer. This is probably one of my most used and favorite Windows 7 features! It displays a submenu of all of the current active DLNA Renderer devices at that moment. If there are none available at this time, the "Play to" feature is not in the context menu.

  • Can music in the cloud only be played over wifi?

    As a fitness instructor, my iphone is on airplane mode while teaching but when I do this my music disappears! How can I still play my music without downloading it onto my iPhone?

    If your music is not on your iPhone, then it needs an internet connection to access it whether it is through wifi or your Cell service Data plan.
    when there's no Wifi around, and you put the iPone in airplane mode, you are turning every connection on the phone to the outside world off, so the iPhone has no way of getting to your music if its not on the phone.
    You can place your iPhone in non disturb mode, so calls don't ring, and messages do not make sounds while your'e in class, to but keeping cell service on so you can access you music.

  • Still bottleneck when viewing youtube over wifi

  • Apple TV painfully slow buffering HD files from iTunes over WiFi

    When using Apple TV over WiFi to access my iTunes library everything works well EXCEPT when the video is an HD format file.   I convert using SmartConverter to the standard Apple TV setting, and anything that is HD transfers so slowly over to Apple TV that I pause for up to 1/2 an hour (do the chores) and then come back to Apple TV to see that only 15-20 minutes has buffered.
    If I connect via Ethernet, it works perfectly well and buffers at a very fast rate so this is ONLY over WiFi and only on files that are HD.
    Whilst there are practical solutions (i.e. don't watch HD, or keep the ethernet cable plugged in) that's not the point - I want to watch HD and I don't want an ethernet cable snaking through the house.
    I've searched forums and can't see something directly relating to this, so any advice or tips would be really useful.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion, and hat's what I initially thought - I was running a Belkin modem and router which would drop the ADSL connection from time to time, and with the overall generally poor performance of that unit I decided that was likely the problem.
    So, I upgraded that, - I now have a Netgear D6300 which is providing me with 60 mbps at the Apple TV, no connection drop outs or hang ups.  I've also changed my ISP from a reseller to a major provider in order to get a more stable overall service (not that that should impact the iTunes to ATV over WiFi)
    But the ATV still buffers HD files so slowly.  
    Using ATV I can stream plenty of material over wifi - Netflix in HD, YouTube in HD, and all other devices around the house (iPads, MacBooks, laptops etc) all stream content over wifi, share the iTunes Library all over the house.   Watching non HD tagged movies/tv shows from iTunes is also running well.
    So I'm pretty sure it's not the wifi, unless there's some setting I need to adjust ?

  • Shared movies over wifi screen not responding

    When viewing shared movies over wifi my screen goes unresponsive to the touch making pause / rewind etc impossible. Any ideas?

    I have tried to wait one minute or so, to check if it will respond again, but it didnt.
    But as you said, it is strange that I can open the "notfication/control center" but not able to press any button on there.
    I will try to restore tonight.
    Thanks

  • When streaming audio over Bluetooth the wifi is unusable.

    When streaming audio over Bluetooth the wifi connection gets slow and unusable. So no Internet radios over Blutetooth, no streaming from Box.net etc. any solution?

    Try and change the Wi-Fi channel.

  • A2DP Bluetooth Music Streaming

    I've been able to stream music from my iPhone through my car stereo via a Parrot MK6000 hands free Bluetooth device and an iCombi A2DP Bluetooth adapter (Buy at Oakley.com). The iCombi is an adapter for iPods that have the same dock connections as the iPhone so the device works perfectly.
    The Parrot device handles the communication between the stereo and the phone, muting the music and allowing the call to be received, while the iCombi adapter provided the music streaming, again that is interrupted when a call comes in.
    The biggest draw back is the that you can't charge the iPhone while you have the iCombi adapter attached.
    The iCombi adapter also allows you to use Bluetooth headphones to listen to music.
    This is a not a perfect configuration, I have experienced some glitches such as the music continuing to play while I receive a call, it still works well enough until Apple provides and update that embraces A2DP Bluetooth.
    Regards,
    Bob Petersen

    A nice suggestion that I may go with but I'm still interested in finding a wireless solution. I'd like to get in my car with music already playing on the phone and have the car stereo pick it up and play through the speakers, then receive a phone call hearing the caller through the car speakers and use a mic in car that would work for my part of the call. All wirelessly. Thats how it works in my wife's car but she has bluetooth so I'm trying to duplicate the capability.

  • I am having a problem connecting my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.8) to a bluetooth music streaming devise (Arcam r-blink)

    Good evening all,
    When i am trying to connent my MBP to an Arcam R-blink (a rather expensive music streaming receiver) i am getting a 'Bluetooth audio failed'.
    The device is turned on and they are paired.  I just appears they don't like talking to each other.
    Eventually after several fustrating attempts they will finally connect - mainly after i have unpaired then repaired.
    Anyone else had this problem? Can it be fixed?
    Thanks,

  • Different Bluetooth connections for phone and music streaming

    Can I have different Bluetooth connections for phone and music streaming functions on my 4s? If I can is there a way that the will automatically select (remember) the proper bluetooth receiver?

    TDMA interference, and is a type of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) unique to GSM mobile phones. It affects all GSM mobile phones, but is not harmful to you or your electronics. It is just an audible indicator of network activity.
    GSM mobile phones generate this interference when they communicate with the cellular network. You don't need to be actively using the phone, as it constantly accessing the network to check signal strength, synchronize the clock, or perform other network-related tasks. The only way to stop this interference is to turn off the phone or its network capabilities. For example, by using Airplane Mode.
