https://community.sony.it/t5/x-series/new-phone-several-bluetooth-troubles/m-p/3569297#M6633 <P>For my birthday, I got a new shiney new Xperia X Performance...Really happy with the phone, well, untill today. I hooked up my favorite set of bluetooth headphones, and ran into several problems. Problem 1 - and most odd - is range...Unless I hold my phone up to my chest or closer still to my headphones, playback gets really choppy as if I'm out of range. I didn't have this problem with my old phone, and don't suffer these problems with my pair of computers, and I've tried it against a couple of other phones to be fully sure - the headphones are working as they should. I can't even leave the phone on my desk and tilt my chair back with out this occurring (yet my old phone &amp; my computers, I can walk anywhere I want in my apartment with out issue). Problem 2 - at lower volumes I ether get super quiet, and press the volume up once and it's seems like I get about a 12db jump in loudness... So I can have either a level that's so quiet I can't hear the music over the noise of my surroundings, or too loud in which I can't hear my surroundings at all - I can't set a volume level to anything in between. Problem 3 - my headphones have multi control... but if I hold the next button to turn up the volume, it turns up and then skips to the next song as soon as I release the button. Vise versa happens if I press and hold the prev button down - the volume goes down, but as soon as I release the button it jump to the beginning of the song (unless it's already at the beginning and then it will jump to the previous song).</P> Sat, 02 Sep 2017 02:28:24 GMT nukedathlonman 2017-09-02T02:28:24Z https://community.sony.it/t5/x-series/new-phone-several-bluetooth-troubles/m-p/3569297#M6633 <P>For my birthday, I got a new shiney new Xperia X Performance...Really happy with the phone, well, untill today.
