Solution to Bluetooth connectivity problems on the Galaxy S6 and S7
There are several basic things you can try to resolve Bluetooth errors.
- Turn off WiFi and try again with Bluetooth only
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth > and delete all paired devices
- Disable or uninstall apps that use Bluetooth and restart your device
It is known that there are certain applications that interrupt the operation of Bluetooth, so deactivating them can solve the problem.

Synchronizing contacts causes bluetooth music cuts
A common problem is that the synchronization of the phone's contacts with the car's hands-free system works incorrectly, not synchronizing all the contacts and causing repeated cuts in the music every so often, or worse still, blocking the entire system. .
Currently we usually have hundreds if not thousands of contacts on the phone and this causes this type of errors since there is a lot of data to be transferred, saturating the system on many occasions.
The quick way to solve it is:
- Turn off contact syncing in your phone's Bluetooth options. We select the hands-free system and in the configuration wheel we deactivate the "Share contacts" switch
If we don't want to be so radical, we can try to reduce the number of contacts on the mobile until the number does not block the Bluetooth system.
How to clear Bluetooth cache
- Open the Settings panel and go to Applications
- Select Bluetooth
- Select Clear Cache and then Clear Data
- Restart the phone
This operation clears the Bluetooth cache which is proven to effectively solve the problems according to many users.
If this does not work, you can clear cache at a much lower level as a last alternative:
- Turn off the phone
- Press and hold the power, home (center under the screen) and volume up buttons until the Android logo appears
- With the volume keys select the "Wipe cache partition" option from the "Recovery" menu that appears and press the power button to confirm the selection
- In the same way, confirm with "Yes"
- Wait for the operation to finish and select "Reboot" for the phone to reboot.
This last process normally corrects most Bluetooth problems and erratic functioning, we hope it works for you too.
