Bluetooth keeps dropping, will not stay connected to my headphones or car. Keeps restarting. Sometimes won't pair at all. Was fine until 5.1.1 update.
All is well. The 6.0 update fixed it.
Same problem here. Bluetooth works fine connected to a wireless headset like plantronics voyager pro hd but NOT with my car. Constant connect and reconnect.
Have you tried to remove the previous pairing settings completely from both devices if possible and setup a fresh pair between the two devices?
Numerous times to no avail
last time i had this happen was about a year ago, i had to uninstall updates to "android system webview" and that fixed the problem - found it on the interwebs. That trick doesn't work anymore.
Stephina, I would be concerning as well if my device could not keep an active connection through Bluetooth. Let's see if we can get this issue properly resolved. Have you recently powered your device off and on?

Off/on, pair/unpair numerous times. Now to get it to work I have to unpair, turn off bluetooth, turn off the phone, turn on the phone, go to settings (not the quick setting button), turn on bluetooth, turn on the device and hope that it finds the device, if it finds the device, then repair and see if it works. Sometimes and I can actually go error free for a couple hours that is if I also don't add any other devices. If I get in my car and forget to unpair my headphones before pairing with my car. I have to repeat the above.
I also get skips and hiccups when its paired when it stays connected.
So now I mostly use wired headphones when out and about and AUX in my car. My phone WAS FINE until this update! FINE!!! It was connected to 2 bluetooth devices and worked flawlessly.
I have a Note 2 that I use for media and both bluetooths, car and headset, work just fine.
Came back to add that I'm also having the battery draining and Wifi issues. I carry a really good portable battery that lets me recharge multiple times so I won't complain about that yet.
Wifi: I can't stop it from coming on when I don't want it to. I even tried several apps and it still searches and come on. Was stopping and staying off just fine with the app I was using before the update. The same app works fine on my other devices. And no other device or carrier is having this problem on 5.1.1 that I know of.
Stephina, this is quite a range of troubleshooting steps that you have taken to attempt to get this issue resolved. I have went ahead and sent you a Private Message so we can look at potential options concerning this issue.
OK, sent you the info you wanted now what?
Had the same problem with the Note 4 on Kit Kat connecting with a Kia Optima. After a while, the bluetooth connection would fail. Searching the forums I found a solution that works (for a while).
Unpair the phone from the car and delete the pairing from the car's entertainment center. On the phone, go to Settings; Applications; Application Manager and swipe to All. Go to Bluetooth share and BluetoothTest and clear the cache on each. Press the power switch and restart.
Once restarted, pair the phone with the car's entrainment center. Your connection will work.
This worked for Kit Kat. Hope this helps.
Wish I had read this before factory reseting. My problem seems to be with the Bluetooth and Wifi. I can't have both settings on at the same time. I will the cache clearing and let you guys know.
Tried your solution. It did not work. I even tried it again in safe mode.
Sorry it didn't work out. I've found the Note 4 and bluetooth to be flaky. I've also found that some car manufacturers publish a list of phones that will work with their entertainment system. While the Note 4 wasn't on the list for my vehicle, I found a solution through those discussions boards.
Any luck Stephina? Mine has started doing the same thing again relentlessly! It's at the point where I have to just talk on speaker phone and bluetooth is more of a hazard than anything else.
I wish someone would take ownership of this issue on the Samsung devices and just give us a fix for this. I've had this problem for over a year now. HTC had no issues and my work Crapple device has no issues using bluetooth so it's not my car, it's not honda, it's Samsung specifically.
