Synchronization of contacts causes cuts in Bluetooth music
A common problem is that syncing the phone's contacts with the car's hands-free system does not work properly, does not sync all contacts and causes repeated mutes in music from time to time, or worse, freezing the whole system. . .
Currently, we usually have hundreds if not thousands of contacts on the phone and it causes this kind of errors as there is a lot of data to transfer, saturating the system many times.
The fastest way to fix this problem is:
- Turn off contact synchronization in the phone's Bluetooth options. We select the hands-free system and in the configuration wheel we deactivate the switch "Share contacts"
If we don't want to be so drastic, we can try to reduce the number of contacts on the mobile until the number does not block the bluetooth system.
How to clear the Bluetooth cache
- Open the Settings panel and go to Applications
- Select bluetooth
- Select Clear cache, then Clear data
- Restart the phone
This operation clears the Bluetooth cache, which effectively resolves issues reported by many users.
If that doesn't work, you can empty the cache at a much lower level as a last resort:
- Switch off the phone
- Press and hold until the Android logo appears, the power, home (the one in the center below the screen), and volume up buttons
- Using the volume keys, select the option "Wipe cache partition" from the "Recovery" menu that appeared and press the power button to confirm the selection.
- In the same way, confirm with "Yes"
- Wait for the operation to complete and select "Restart" for the phone to restart.
This latter process usually fixes most bluetooth issues and erratic malfunctions, we hope this will work for you too.
