Windows 10 Mobile has its issues, and one which many users may run into, even on non-Insider devices such as the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL is strange behaviour around Bluetooth.

Some of the ones I have run into myself is sudden low volume unresponsive to the volume controls which can only be fixed by a reboot, and extreme stuttering audio when using GPS voice navigation.

Other oddities are music over Bluetooth stopping when Cortana reads a text for example and then not automatically resuming when it’s done.  Many users have of course also complained of issues when their phone is paired with the Microsoft Band.

On a Reddit thread complaining of these problems a Microsoft employee doing support there has said they will be looking into these problems, saying:

 I’ve sent this whole thread to Ellen, though, so she can look into the audio glitches over Bluetooth if it isn’t already on her radar
