Music skips when paired with car bluetooth

Hi guys, new to the forum but certainly not to phone issues !
Got my S6 edge plus last week after upgrading from S6 edge. Problem is like many on here that music played through car bluetooth skips intermittently for about a second and comes back. It may happen 5 times in a song or once. I''ve tried many of the tips suggested on here but so far no dice. Problem is that the S6 edge was fine with no issues. The S6 edge plus (must stand for more headaches) is identical as it was restored with a back up from S6 edge. It sports 4gig of ram which should preclude any processor anurisms but it is very dissapointing to say the least ! I can conclusively say the it is a bluetooth issue which is weird considering thephones run identical software. Samsung is quick to point their finger at 3rd party apps as their email reply today but again the phones are just clones with one having a bigger brain, same apps same everything. The most promising improvement was to run music through power amp player which I thought had fixed it but after an hour or so murphy was back. Pretty dissapointing for what samsung claims to be their "flagship device" More annoying is the fact they want me to part with it so they can reverse engineer it in their lab to see what the cause may be and leave me to go without whilst this takes place !
I know this appears to be a persistent issue with a variety of handsets and the common denominator appears to be the latest software upgrade. 2 steps forward, one step back.
Any positive fixes been proven to fix this issue yet ?

Re: Music skips when paired with car bluetooth

Not on your life ! It is 1 week old and if I send it in they can keep it. Dont get me wrong it probably is one of the best phones out there and does most things very well. It just cant handle maintaing a quality bluetooth connection even with dual quad processors and 4gig of RAM ! Maybe it doesnt like my taste in music lol

Re: Music skips when paired with car bluetooth

I have the same issue, ive tested my device on many bluetooth devices and the same issue on all of them, must be some bluetooth defect, my Note 5 did this also... annoying.

My Note 4 did this as well. One would have thought the newer phones would have corrected this....

Re: Music skips when paired with car bluetooth

I listen to spotify and tuneIN through Bluetooth in my car and haven't had a single experience like this. The gs6 edge plus actually connects faster and more consistently to my Bluetooth in the car than my note 4 did. That is really a shame. I suppose if a factory reset of the phone and a power reset of the Bluetooth adapter in the host device, and a forget pair/re pair don't resolve it, I would return the phone? I had a similar problem awhile back with the note 3 but I disconnected my car battery for a few minutes and that reset the Bluetooth in the stereo. I also had the volume up too high on my phone before as well which caused distortion from the Bluetooth host when listening to the music. Now i keep it at about ninety percent instead of 100 on media volume setting. This is probably all stuff you've heard before. Sorry I couldn't supply the magic dust. :/.

Might as well note here that it also works flawlessly with my Bose wireless speaker through bluetooth and through the bluetooth wireless headphones "Tones."
