Hi all. I wonder any iPhone 7 Plus user here have issues with Bluetooth connection with an audio player? The audio is stuttering for no reason. It's same problem as decribed here:
http://www.jtsblog.com/iphone-7-bluetooth-...tutter-problem/

I had temporarily disabled the LTE and it is fine after that. But that's very tedious. Anyone found a better solution?

for me it happens occasionally, usually when i'm actively downloading something on my Mac on a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network while listening to music with my Beats X.

my iPhone 7 Plus doesn't seem to have any issue with Bluetooth audio, in fact it holds a signal better than my Mac. What carrier are you using and where?

Interference might occur if you're on 2600Mhz LTE network (band 7), becuase it's near the Bluetooth frequency (2.4Ghz). Try going to an area with a 1800Mhz LTE network (band 3).

(sorry if I'm not much help)

Hi. Thanks for your input.
Using Maxis and it has LTE connection. Location is in Ipoh.
Looks like disabling LTE is the only workaround? Hmph.... sweat.gif

I just bought my i7+ last week and was getting stuttering audio to my cars HU also, not always but when it does happen it will get annoying.

May I know what telco you using? Disable your LTE (i.e. switch to 3G only) connection and it will be fine again.

I wonder why nobody in this thread is complaining about it? I tried to search Bluetooth and nothing much info came out. confused.gif

Just sharing. I'm using ip7 and so far do not have any issues with connecting to both my cars head units, to bluetooth speakers, bluetooth Hifi,3 bluetooth headphones, to the macbookpro to transfer files etc. No such stuttering performance as described by members. ie its working as it should be. Got my unit from Maxis and spotify as my streaming app.

I have read in some other forum that, sometimes the iphone case does effect it. As for the quick fix of disabling LTE, well thats shouldn't be the permanent fix as the feature is not designed to be used that way. What I would do is that, by using iTunes, I would format the phone as a new phone and then test out the bluetooth feature. If it is still the same issues, a trip to the nearest sc would then be my next step.

It's a new phone from Maxis. Casing is just a TPU case.

I don't think resetting the phone will fix the issue. Hmmm....Let me try with other Bluetooth speaker.

I'm on Celcom. Quite hard to pin point the actual cause of it because it does not happen all the time for me cry.gif

It seems that for Maxis and Celcom, they both use the following LTE bands: Band 3 (1800+) and Band 7 (2600). One of these have interference issue with Bluetooth.
Someone with AT&T (band 2, 4, 5, 17 : 1900, 1700 abcde, 700 bc) had the same issue but the issue was cleared after he switched to Verizon (band 2, 4, 13: 1900, 1700 f, 700 c). Looks like it's not so straightfoward.

The iPhone 7 has no issue connecting to JBL Go bluetooth speaker. I think it has problem only with devices using the older version of Bluetooth.

Hmm, will check this out. Have no idea which BT generation my car's HU is running on

This is just my hypothesis. The iPhone 7 does not belong to me actually. So I don't have chance to try with other Bluetooth speakers. But the one I had issue earlier on was definitely an older Bluetooth version. The device is old.
Maybe you can try with other speakers?
