Powerbeats2 bluetooth cuts out

Is anyone having this same problem? when i wear my powerbeats2 and my phone (iPhone 5) is in my front right pocket, the music cuts in and out like its losing a signal. this also happens when i hold it in either hand and i turn my head. the specs on the device says it has a range of up to 30 meters so i dont know if its a software issue or if bluetooth 4.0 just isnt that great to begin with.

I'm also having this issue with an iPhone 5S (iOS 8 but iOS7 did the same thing).  I am unable to get through a single song without it skipping, and it's driving me nuts.  I find it happens less if I keep it in my outer jacket pocket (but that's not really a resolution, it still happens several times per song).

  • Bluetooth cutting out during calls

    Am having issues with my bluetooth (plantronics 320) cutting out while on calls. i have a treo 680 and the bluetooth cuts out frequently. have used other bluetooths and have had the same problem. the bluetooth does not disconnect just cuts out, if i hang up and call right back it works fine. anybody else having this problem

    It sounds like the Bluetooth headset is not compatible with the device. To be sure check this list: http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/treo/680/att/solutions/article/41198_en.html.
    Another possibility could be the headset itself is not working correctly. By any chance can you test this headset with another phone or Treo?

  • Bluetooth cutting out

    Bluetooth keeps cutting out if a text comes in.  This just started with the IOS 7.0.3.  I used to be able to respond but now if I text, or check apps, the music cuts out.  I can't do anything with the phone if it is connected to bluetooth.  Very choppy songs. Any suggestions?

    We are now on IOS 7.0.4
    Remove any BT devices on your Phone - Reboot
    Then Delete iPhone from the vehicles BT memory..Restart the vehicle..
    Then go thro' the Add BT device to your vehicle..Code is usually 0000...

  • Macbook pro bluetooth cutting out

    I have Bose Soundlink Wireless Mobile Speaker (bluetooth) connected to my 15" MacBook Pro Retina iTunes 11.0.5. I am also using bluetooth Apple Mighty mouse connected. The music is cutting off for less than a second periodically like every 10-15 seconds when I play music and listen via Bose SoundLink. I also noticed the warning from my computer that I lost my mouse connection and it reconnect. Does any one have the same issue? And deos any one figuered out what's going on? Is it a glitch in the OS 10.8.4?

  • Bluetooth audio cutting out

    The bluetooth connection for all audio speakers is cutting out - especially when scrolling through email and web browser. I'm on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010. The issue of bluetooth cutting out started after loading Yosemite (now 10.10.1.). It doesn't matter what speaker I'm connected to via bluetooth or the distance between the computer and speaker. While listening to any streaming audio - from any source (web, iTunes, etc.), when I type or scroll through email or browse the web, the audio cuts out on the bluetooth speaker. Is there something I can do to fix the connection issue?

    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear, and then again as you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • Bluetooth audio cuts out

    Hi,
    I have a 3G iphone and recently purchased a Blueant T1 headset. One of the key features that I wanted to make use of is it's ability to stream audio from my iPhone. I had no problems getting the headset to connect and can play audio through it but I have noticed some odd behaviour and wanted to know if there's something I can do about it.
    First when I play music and the phone is not locked it's fine, but once I lock the phone the audio startes to cut out once in a while and it gets worse when I start walking and is constantly cutting out when I start running. Now if I plug the phone into power it's solid, but on battery and the screen locked it's irritating to say the least.
    Thanks for your help.

    you don't press the power off button when you're listening to music
    just don't click on the screen
    when I run with my headset and leave the power button alone and the iphone turn off the screen itself without disconnecting my bluetooth headset connection

  • New wireless speakers keep cutting out through bluetooth on mac whenever i receive an e-mail?

    Hi i have recently purchased some new Ruark MR1 wireless speakers from John lewis for my home,I have tried them in all rooms but whenever i switch from youtube to my itunes playlist or even just receive an email they cut out? This is now a replacement set of speakers as john lewis thought they may be faulty but the same problem occurs. I have updated my bluetooth changed settings every way possible as advised by people but still no joy,very annoying as these were very expensive and to have to keep reconnecting them constantly defeats the object of having these wireless speakers.
    I would appreciate any help or advice!

    I think that the manufacturer is your best source. Perhaps there is some incompatibility.....

  • Music keeps cutting out on my ipod nano 7th gen when using bluetooth

    I just recently got an Ipod Nano 7th Gen and the music keeps cutting out when I use bluetooth headphones. It seems like it needs to have a line of sight or else the music will cut out. If I hold the ipod in my hands while running or keep it in my pocket, I am listening to more pauses than actual music. I practically have to hold the Ipod up to my head while running to not have it cut out on me (and that is obviously not comfortable). Is this how it should be or do I have a faulty Ipod? Is there some way that I can fix it or do I need to take it to the Apple store?

    thankfully I was just able to find the answer in another member's post. You can double click the side button to advance the songs. I credit member little goomba for sharing the answer on another post. Now I am back to loving my new Nano!

  • I pod nano bluetooth cuts in and out in car speakers

    Something is interfering with the signal. Try turning any devices with WiFi that are with you off.

  • Jambox Bluetooth Connection Cuts out with FLAC Player App

    while playing flac files via bluetooth, the audio quickly cuts out and the speakers give off lots of feedback and amplified static. any way to fix this? should i look to update FLAC PLAYER, or jambox firmware?

    If it doesn't do it when you play music through the iPod app, or Pandora, to the Jambox then you need to update the FLAC software or contact the developer.

  • Bluetooth mouse cuts out when transferring files over the network

    Just as the title says: whenever I copy files to a PC over the network (via SMB I think its called) My bluetooth mighty mouse will start getting very jerky and makes is very difficult to move the cursor on the screen. However, my Bluetooth keyboard is comply fine. Both are using Lithium batteries and where just replaced about a month ago. Also, both are in close range...about 2 feet. And it only happens when coping files.
    Any ideas?
    -Scott

    I don't connect to network volumes that often, but I did again today and noticed that my bluetooth keyboard completely cut out (had the "discounted" HUD come up) and then the keyboard would not reconnect until the file copy was complete. I don't know about the mouse as lately I've been using my Microsoft mouse that hasn't been giving me any troubles. (like really, Microsoft and "no troubles" in the same sentence??? lol)

  • The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.

    The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.  If I unplug and replug in the headphones, the sound comes back on, but often for only 20 seconds or so before cutting out again.  Sometimes it will play for 15-20minutes before cutting out.  The track is not "paused", and appears to continue, just no sound.  I tried cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air to no avail.  I also noticed the the same phenomenon occurs when I sync my bluetooth to my car audio.  That is, it will play for a while, then the sound will cut out, even though the track is still shown to be playing.  If I reset the bluetooth, the sound comes back on.
    This started happening about a week ago, but no "event" that I can think of caused it.  I didnt' get the phone wet, forcefully drop it, or leave it in extreme heat.  I've tried doing a reset of the phone.  I also was running iOS5 when I first noticed this, and since upgraded to iOS6.  The problem appeared with both.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone.  I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner.  An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand.  The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced.  I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

  • New iphone 4s speaker keeps cutting out on calls and have to put it on external speaker, this is happening to others I have called today with the same phone. Is there a fix?

    My wife has a new 4s and quite often her phone speaker cuts out during a call and she has to put it on speakerphone. Telus tech support tells me this is a known issue yet there doesn't seem to be an update to the phone available in itunes yet. So far today we have talked to two other people who live in our area with the same phone and same issue. One went so far as to buy a jawbone for $150 to work around it not knowing it was a software issue. Is this a software fix or do we need to do a hardware swap? Is there a fix out or on the way?

    My gf was having the same issues and also with a big echo every time I called her either from my 4S or even fron a land line as per other comments here. They told he to take it into the Apple store and they reset the software and now it's working fine.....so far.
    Now today my bluetooth earpiece has decided to stop working for some unknown reason and then the last person that called me said my phone keep cutting out. I don't know whether that was because I had to turn off my bluetooth to answer the phone or what.
    I suspect Apple will be sending out an update to fix some of these reported issues but in the meantime the local Apple store seems to be the only option. Just hoping I don't have to take that option as that would require a huge inconvenience for me as neither of the two stores in the Vanvouver area are remotely close to me.
    Good luck.

  • Macbook pro running 6.8 has wifi cutting out and extremely slow

    My macbook Pro recently started having issues where the Airport says the wifi signal is full, yet is extremely slow(.5mbps compared to 30 that i normally get.)
    It also cuts out but says it is still connected, but chrome, safari, itunes all cannot connect even to google.
    So far I have tried,
    Deleteing the playlist items in system configuration
    restarting the router manually and from the router control panel
    shutting off my airport card and turning it back on
    set a new location in network preferences
    setting DNS to Google DNS and openDNS
    setting IPv4 settings to manual
    checking the router channel
    restarting my computer
    setting the network utility to constantly ping
    checked the preferences on the netgear router site
    turning bluetooth on and off
    setting and unsetting a firewall
    using network diagnostics
    the only thing that works is to turn airport off, then on again and reconnect. even then, I can only get a few page views, sometimes only one, before it stops loading anything. my wifi connection used to be amazing, then one day it just started doing this. I get very slow speeds when I can connect, and downloads are extremely slow.

    I also finger McAffee as the culprit, it's not necessary on Mac's as of 10.6.8+ Apple installed their own anti-OS X malware detector and it checks for updates like every 26 hours or so.
    If you need to clean the Windows malware off their files, the free ClamXav does the job nicely and doesn't bugger up the machine as it's run as you need it.
    For your other slowdown issues, I suggest you look through these tips of mine, my Snow Leopard is incredibly fast.
