Basic Fixes

  • Use 5GHz Wi-Fi : Bluetooth uses a 2.4GHz frequency band, which can cause the signals to overlap and can cause problems by disconnecting the device. Therefore, try using a 5Ghz Wi-Fi.
  • Charge Bluetooth device: Ensure there’s enough battery left on your Bluetooth device.
  • Check distance between devices : Maintain a close distance between your phone and Bluetooth device. If there are physical obstructions like walls in between, Bluetooth will keep disconnecting
  • Restart devices: Restart both your smartphone and the Bluetooth device to fix any bugs and glitches.
