Leftzilla Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have noticed some stuttering in the Blu tooth signal being sent to the Amplifi when streaming from my phone. I do not hear this with my Bose blu tooth spkr and was wondering if anybody else has experienced this problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfostevec Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Every now and then I get a "skip" in the music. I haven't gotten a stutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftzilla Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah a skip would be a better term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KorbenD Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grupps Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yes, same here. It annoys the hell out of me. I'm having to plug the iphone in. I was going to get G50 relay to plug into amplifi for practice sessions but I'm having trust issues with Line6. Have you heard any feedback from Line6 on the issue?

asc325 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yes. I am experiancing the same issue even after updating to the latest device flash on my Amplifi 75. Even if I put my hand in front of my iOS device, between the amp and the iOS the music stops (looses the signal). Once I remove my hand the music then begins to play again. Same happens if I move the iOS behind a wall that is less than 10 feet away from the amp.. Acts more of a line-of-sight connection than bluetooth. My jambox maintains a strong connection regardless of obstructions and has a much farther signal range. The iOS device software is currently up-to-date. Line6 Admins - Any suggestions or future fixes in the works? Don't get me wrong... This is a fun all in one practice amp but as a bluetooth media player without a strong, reliable connection it's a deal breaker for me and will be making it's way back to the music store for a refund.

Leftzilla Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 If I do not own an IOS device how am I supposed to update the Amplifi Drivers? I suspect at some point the USB port? But that doesn't help me now. Anybody know a work around via Android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosmusic Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have the exact same issue too. Love the amp, super fun sounds great. I would think this is something that could be fixed in an update ? Someone from Line6 care to chime in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Line6Tony Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm sorry to see some of you run into Bluetooth issues. Please make sure to update your amp and follow ALL of the steps found at http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/amplifiers/ampl/amplififirmwareupdate. One of the things the update does is improve Bluetooth performance. We've seen some folks not complete all the steps and see the amp not perform as expected. Feel free to contact us at line6.com/support if you need assistance with the procedures outlined in the above KB article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinistralx Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi Folks, I ham experiencing the exact same issue, even after the flash update. its like its line of sight only... if i 'dance' in front of the amp (amplifi75) it stops streaming altogether. I need two be within to metres on the amp to get a stream. Dodgy as all hell. I connect to my old bose bluetooth and my car bluetooth system without issue!!!?? using iPhone 5s any suggestions? may just have to bring this amp back and call it quits...

sosmusic Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have the exact same problem,, stuttering,, skips,, not a line of sight issue either. I have used 3 different Iphone 5s's on it. Updated my iphone,,, updated the Amplifi. Still no change. Took the Amplfi back to where i purchased it, of course it the problems wouldn't happen while i was there at the store, but they graciously exchanged it. Got the new one home,, exact same thing. Happens while i both streaming off Songza, or just listening to itunes. So its not my internet connection thats for sure. Also the Ampifli app constantly disconnects as well. What to do ? Anyone from Line6 care to chime in on this ? Cool amp,,,,, very glitchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephSlayer Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm satisfied. 99% bluetooth clean stream for me on new 2.0 firmware, better than 90% from past firmware. I can get 100% if I don't move, touch or mess with my smartphone (the amplifi remote controller app). My device being HTC One Max Android Verizon, and sometimes Nexus 7 tablet. Tips: keep the device as close to the amplifi (mine is model 150) as possible, find the clearest/fastest wifi channel (mine is 5GHz Apple Time Capsule), keep the device plugged in (for best CPU and wifi performance, disables most power saving and makes it fast as possible), most importantly make the hand-horn (index finger up, middle fingers down, pinky up, thumb in) the standard rock 'n' roll salute!

MikeMaben Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Get a signal booster "https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=bluetooth+signal+booster&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&tbs=&as_filetype=&as_rights=&gws_rd=ssl" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinistralx Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hmmmmmm. Shouldn't have to boost the signal when I am no more than 6ft away. With my Bose I can be sitting on the loo in the next room and still stream flawlessly! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftzilla Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I was able to update with the new Android app and much of the issues went away. Also a fully chared battery on the phone helped imeensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Line6Tony Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi, guys. Hopefully the video below will help you get better performance from AMPLIFi. That's a new overview video that goes over some of the concepts surrounding the amp's performance and what could potentially hinder it. We have more videos at http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/amplifi-products/videos/ Environment and your surroundings can play a big part in performance. You could potentially take the same AMPLIFi unit to another location to see it work well, while the same Bose or other BT unit perform poorly. Updating the amp is always suggested. Those with continued issues should contact our staff at www.line6.com/support for more suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fukuri Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I have the same problem It is severe though and makes the Bluetooth streaming utterly unuseable I've tried it with and iPad mini and iPad and iPhone 6 Latest formats are 2.10 but still appaulling Move it about the house till you find a spot that works ... Isn't all that helpful My soundbar works fine my jam on works fine I've tried it in different rooms but it is still terrible Hard wired for music it is I'm afraid but not working for me over blietooth at all That was one of the big features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
