When using any Bluetooth device, including Samsung ear buds, I notice after a short while that audio stutters/pauses regardless of the app that is producing the audio - YT, Instagram, etc. When using the phone as a phone with same Bluetooth devices, audio seems to work fine. Streaming audio seems affected.
A25's speakers (no Bluetooth), audio is fine.
Do a clean restart and only use/run one app for audio, say Instagram for example. Again, audio seems OK for awhile then starts to stutter/pause with only one app running after restart.
Is there some sort of known problem with Bluetooth that causes this? I'm assuming the phone is running the latest version of Bluetooth. Any adjustments? I can't find any.
This sounds like an issue with buffering while streaming. Could it be that your data connection isn't strong enough? I have this issue when streaming audio *and* video in low coverage areas but if I stream only audio with the screen off I never have issues. Does the app being used show a buffering symbol when this issue occurs?
Data connection is a good suggestion but my Surface Pro 12" on the same home network never has these issues. I have a 6 year old Surface Go and it's OK - no stuttering or pauses. Galaxy A25 does.
Just audio seems fine. Add video then the stutter / pauses. Now this is weird one. I wear hearing aids w/Bluetooth and got a new set recently. If I remove and disable the left aid, audio and video work fine on the right aid. If I remove and disable the right aid, audio doesn't work at all on the left. I'll bring this up on my next audiology visit. It's a strange problem.
Thanks for the list of quick fixes, but the second one Clear Bluetooth Cache will not allow me to clear cache under Storage. It is grayed out and so is Clear Data.
