I had a lot of issues with Bluetooth on my s8 Plus when it 1st came out and my AndroidWear watches would always disconnect if I left the phone in a different room and my Plantronics Backbeat Fit earphones would stutter a lot. I moved on to other phones but came back a few days ago to the regular s8 and instantly remembered those issues I'd forgotten about. I thought in the few months away they would have pushed software updates to address the issues but clearly not. The Bluetooth range is awful compared to most other phones or even the s7. When I go to the gym I could easily leave my phone in my jacket pocket and go around the small gym and still stream music to my headphones whereas last night I was out running and the connection was stuttering a lot just with the phone in my pocket and I had to put the s8 in a pocket on the same side of my body as the BT receiver on my earphones just to get a semi decent connection
