Note 5 Bluetooth issues

[ad4hire]

Is anyone else having bluetooth connection issues with their Note 5?
My phone keeps connecting and disconnecting and reconnecting to my Samsung Gear S and Jeep.
It's driving me crazy!
Is it a software or hardware issue?
Do I need to exchange for a new phone?

I am having the same issues with my note 5 as well. Att and Samsung have both told me to submit a warranty claim.

I am having bluetooth range issues when the phone is on wifi only. I had the phone reflashed, reset to factory settings, updated the firmware on my bluetooth and unchecked HD voice but the issue remains. Samsung store rep and Samsung chat rep unable to resolve issue. So, I have to disconnect from wifi to make calls. Thoughts?

My Note 5 suddenly just stopped reconnecting with my Gear watch. If I connect Bluetooth manually it stays until I walk out of range with my watch then it won't auto reconnect. I have to reconnect it manually again. Something is wrong with auto reconnect of Bluetooth on the phone. I don't know if an update caused that or what. I installed the Bluetooth Auto Connect App from the Play store and that software will auto connect my watch whenever it sees it is disconnected. That's the only work around I could find. I had to use the same software to get my car radio to autoconnect when I got into the car. If anyone finds a remedy for this please let us know.
