[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] 4Duke:
I have the M3 (phone version 5gz) which I purchased from China and it has the slow Wifi problem when the Bluetooth is on, but I have never needed both on at the same time. My wife has a Samsung tablet and the WIFI & Bluetooth operate together with no slow down in speeds. It is device specific; Huawei, Moto, & others, seemingly are too cheap to use better system devices.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Matt8504:
From Huawei HiCare app

Why does my Tablet lag when connected to the Internet?

If lag occurs when both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled: Disable Bluetooth when performing tasks over Wi-Fi that require high network speeds, such as playing games or watching HD videos. If 5 GHz Wi-Fi is supported on your router, switching to 5 GHz W-Fi will prevent interference between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth.

If your device continues to lag, back up your data and take your device and proof of purchase to a Huawei service centre for assistance.

I had M3 8.4 version, and now I have M5 10.8 LTE. I can confirm that with M3 problem exist even on 5Ghz network. But I dont have problem with the new M5. Same router, same 5ghz. Btw when i use Huawei share, and Bluetooth is on i get up to 22-23 Mbytes/s transfer speed which is excellent.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] parnunu:
Any body can confirm that issue not happen on M3 8" while using 5Ghz WiFi, Bluetooth on, Location on and set to high accuracy.

If someone not have issue I will go to service center.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Matt8504:
I had problems on m3 8.4. on 2.4ghz band the connection was unstable. Not so slow, but unstable. On 5ghz was better but still unstable. Only when I've turn Bluetooth on. I was wondering why my Huawei watch 2 Bluetooth connectivity is so slow and unstable. I couldn't update any app through bt connected to mediapad m3. Now I don't have that problem with p20.

Overall i found that the tablet antenna design is not so good as p20. But m5 don't have these problems.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] StephenMSmith:
My m5 negotiates extremely poor link speeds, whether 5gz or 2.4 compared to all my other wifi devices including a 4 year old Samsung 12.2" galaxy note tablet. So the wifi performance is 1/3 that at best compared to everything else. Doesn't matter if Bluetooth is on or off.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] the_zealot:
Mediapad M5 10.8 LTE European. No problem with speed or connection quality with bluetooth turned on and listening through Apple Airpods. Tested on Twitch live streams and Speedtest. 5ghz WiFi.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] chogos:
I have 8.4 M5. Serious bug and it's hardware is a tenfold drop in Wi-Fi speed with Bluetooth running, for example you connected Wireless Acoustics via Bluetooth and at the same time launched Apple music and for example in HQ quality and you will have friezes even at 5GHz, this is noticeable when you want rewind the song further, but you will not succeed, because it has not yet been loaded. I want to note that Samsung does not have such a bug.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] aspros21:
I want to buy M5 pro tablet. I will use it with heavy WiFi usage with Bluetooth keyboard / mouse. Shall I have the wifi connections issues you are describing? I won't use Bluetooth headset or speaker. Sorry if my question is stupid.

No issues on my CMR-W09 MediaPad M5 10.8
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] jakeo_100:
Update likely fixed problem

My M5 8.4 wifi only Build SHT-W09 8.0.0.173(C567) is now working at full download speed on 5ghz while streaming Bluetooth ~75mbs. This is new because it would usually get down to between 1-3 mbs when streaming Bluetooth. However the upload speed was reduced to 17-20 mbs which without Bluetooth actively playing is 60-75mbs. I suspect there has been some sort of update that has preserved full download speed and now impacted upload speed. I have not tried this for a while on this tablet so I don't know when the change occurred. My hope is this build performs as well for others as it does on my tablet
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] ronald_loulan:
Which update are you referring too??
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] jakeo_100:
Wish I knew what changed. I have just been applying system updates as they came through. I have not tracked what they were. I bought my m5 8.4 wifi as soon as it came out. So I had the original shipping system version (don't know what that was). I've applied all of the updates. However, I never saw anything in the release notes referring to the wifi/bluetooth problem.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] ronald_loulan:
I see, I assume the latest update you mentioned came with gpu turbo?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] fuchunic:

5ghz 94/94 mb (only 100mb wan port) with bluetooth on xiaomi mi router 3
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] freakingprime:
I have M3 lite 8.0 in Vietnam, released in June 2017.

With bluetooth playing music, internet down/up speed with wifi 2.4 GHz still reaches 10-12 Mbps, and with 5 GHz it maxed out at 35 Mbps.

I use a Totolink wifi router, sitting at 5-6 meters distance.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] hquant:
No noticeable problems...

I had mine hooked up to a 200 Mbit line. Without Bluetooth on 5 Ghz 196 Mbit downstream, with bluetooth 40 Mbit Downstream. So if you do not have a large bandwidth connection, you might not notice jack, but if you do, you will notice. Considerably better than 2.4 Ghz though where the connection dropped to 0,31 Mbit with bluetooth on.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] LordRahl72:
Guys, have you tried running your tests with location services off like the post a few pages back suggested?

I am looking to buy this tablet mainly for Steam Link streaming with Bluetooth controller. I am not interested in location "GPS" turned on so if this solves the issue it would be great.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] tomik10345:
I have tried Steam link with Xbox One Controller connected over BT and it worked very well. Location is turned off. Quality of your session depends on bandwidth and latency of your WiFi network.

I want to be able to stream a movie and listen through my hearing aids via Bluetooth. My wifi router has 5 ghz. Will this work or not? This is one of the main reasons I am looking at this tablet.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] paramex:
Amazon has deals on M5 right now. Would like to know if on 5GHz wifi with BT on, wifi speed is at least okay (watch netflix youtube etc)?

Thank you guys.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] kandelai:
Here is my findings with my new Mediapad M5 Pro. There is definitely a drop in wifi speeds, but as the user posted a few back, you may not notice the performance hit via video, etc, if you have a fast internet connection. I didn't.

I tested my internet speed with bluetooth off, nothing running; 130down/11up, which matches my ISP package. Turn on the Youtube Aquaman trailer at 720p/no bluetooth enabled = 115/10 speeds. Turn on bluetooth, enable wireless earbuds and watch the same Aquaman trailer = 20/5 speeds.

Now I didn't notice any lag or performance drop in video or sound, but imagine if you connected to a slow wifi (traveling.) You may see some some performance issues. For home use with a fast internet, this probably won't affect you. I don't use Bluetooth that often, so not a big deal for me, but it is the only ding I have against this tablet and I hope Huawei can fix it with an update.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] chris9000:
Pulled the trigger on the 8.4. I'm reading that 9.0 is being pushed out by Huawei? Maybe it'll include a fix.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] hquant:
I used the Mipad 4 for a couple of days. It slows down a bit when running WiFi tests with Bluetooth active but way less than the Mediapad. More like 100 Mbit vs. 200. The Medipad is totally crashing in comparison. Xiaomi's Mipad is using a shared antenna as well, but it features Bluetooth 5.0 and it has MiMo. Anyways, in terms of WiFi/Bluetooth usage it crushes the Mediapad M5. Sadly it sucks in other categories, namely the screen and the lack of a fingerprint reader.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] chris9000:
Any chance this issue has been fixed?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] :
Won't be it's hardware not software
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] chris9000:
Well that bites. Is it true that swapping to 5ghz alleviates the problem? Hearing mixed things regarding this workaround. :(
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] StephenMSmith:
Yeah, it hardware and 5g helps but doesn't solve. The antenna are just weak and I can see the wifi indicator frequently dropping to weak signal when just sitting here. My phone in same location on same wifi is 10x fadter every time.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] :
Still a fantastic tablet tho if you can live without bt
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Rebel78:
Just sucks, b/c this is the only thing holding it up. 99% of my need for BT would be headphones while streaming Spotify, maybe just use the adapter to get a 3.5 jack. Having this issue AND removing the headphone jack is just insane. Total lack of planning.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] SANGER_A2:
Many mobile platforms have this issue. They use the same chip for both bluetooth and wifi and most chips don't work when both protocols are used together at the same time. It's even the case for really mainstream tablets like the Amazon Fire tablets and really popular/high-end SoC like Snapdragon. It's not something that can be fixed unless you plug in a USB wifi/bluetooth device (and the chances of Android supporting them out of the box is pretty low). Bluetooth is on the 2.4GHz wavelength the same as wifi (along with far too many other devices in the home nowadays) so 5GHz MAY help with some SoC's, but not others. USB to headphone leads are cheap and are the only real solution. Of course a benefit is that your battery may last longer without BT turned on! :)
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Obveron:
I stream Spotify to a Bluetooth speaker all the time. Zero problems.

I can do this and run a wifi speed test at the same time and still get 50Mbps down.

I'm not saying that Bluetooth doesn't slow wifi down, but it's only a big problem if your wifi/internet is already borderline slow. If you have a strong wifi signal, using a channel that is not congested, and good internet speed, you won't have problems streaming music to Bluetooth.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] ShanghaiWall:
Hey guys try disabling Aptx in developer options, this improved my speed from 2 Mbps with Aptx on to 30 Mpbs with aptx off. For the record, Wifi speed with BT off is 70-80 Mpbs, location off all the time, 5Ghz network. Also, when checking for network speed, make sure you play local music and turn off all other devices that are connected to router.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] kazam401:
This is a truly awful tablet for any media streaming. I can use the Web ok for everything bar streaming anything, I've been onto Huawei about this issue (which they are aware of) & they have come back with nothing except the usual - factory reset answer - which does not fix this issue. Very dissatisfied with Huawei & this expensive tablet.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] StephenMSmith:
No kidding. It doesn't matter if Bluetooth on or off, the radio in this device sucks. In the exact same location connected to exact same router, this mediapad is always 1/4 to 1/3 wifi speed at best compared to all my other devices, including my 4 year old Huawei made Nexus 6p. I actually added an access point in the room I usually use this tablet just because it does so much better when within 10 feet of access point.

The word Media in this tablets name is a total misnomer.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] novahob:
Noticed something similar using YouTube and Netflix that when Bluetooth is on speed/WiFi is impacted.

Netflix - BT on and video doesn't start instantly, though eventually does.

YouTube - stop preloading the video altogether and then just buffers. Turning Bluetooth off then enables the feed to continue to load again.

Can't believe my N7 2013 works great with WiFi and Bluetooth but a year old tablet doesn't!
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Amexo:
Mediapad M5 WiFi (Type: CMR-W09)

My Solution:

backup current settings, reset settings including network after Update and Restore settings.

GPS MUST be active to get full wifi speed, without GPS enabled wifi speed will decrease dramatically with Bluetooth audio streaming.

Test this instruction and I hope it helps.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] novahob:
What settings are you referring to? What's the menu path?

Or are you saying that if I turn on GPS all will be ok?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Amexo:
Exactly, turn GPS on.

After some tests the speed randomly varies. I think the problem lies with software.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] novahob:
Tried that yesterday and as soon as Bluetooth on, WiFi speed drops completely as before. If only it was that simple [emoji3525]

Just got the latest software update to the October security patch build 9.1.0.330. Been testing out this with YouTube on a 720p video and is playing ok with Bluetooth connected to my headphones. Also have done a speed test and speed is the same with Bluetooth on and off. Fingers crossed Huawei have fixed this.

Anyone seeing improvements?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Jjfix:
Disabling location services works for me

I had the same problem as others with unusable wireless performance. Thanks to this forum discovered with Bluetooth enabled and wireless head phones I could not stream without constant buffering. I turned of Wi-Fi and noticed a slight improvement but after disabling location services and advanced Bluetooth scanning things are amazing. I have not tested using Bluetooth audio with location disabled. Yet. I will post again once tested.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Tested with location services disabled but Bluetooth enabled streaming a HD video is unwatchable. I turned on network statistics in the status bar and noticed with Bluetooth on speed is in B/s or K/s the the stream will stutter and buffer. As soon as I turn Bluetooth off speed jumps to M/s ranging from 500K/s - 3M/s. I am on a 5GHz network with 150MBPS broadband.

Originally I shut off Bluetooth and didn’t have much improvement until I turned off location services and advanced Bluetooth scanning. I have tested with location services on but advanced Bluetooth scanning still disabled. Things are still working well. So for me with a media pad M5 8.4 on 5Ghz latest firmware Bluetooth is definitely the problem. But just turning off Bluetooth was not enough as advanced scanning can still activate Bluetooth in the background.

It’s a shame as I just got this tablet last week and not being able to use Bluetooth headphones while doing anything media related is ridiculous in 2019.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] novahob:
When you say Bluetooth scanning, is that in advanced settings? Also location services, have you just turned off "access my location" (which is the one in the notification shade)?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Jjfix:
Under security & privacy > Location Access > Advanced settings > Bluetooth scanning
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] novahob:
Thanks, already have those off. Based on my comments above on the latest update, I'm getting varied speeds when Bluetooth is on. I think it's better but not perfect.

https:// consumer.huawei.com/ ca/support/ how-to/detail-troubleshooting /en-us00385051/

Problem:

The Wi-Fi network slows down or becomes unavailable when the tablet is connected to a Bluetooth device.

Cause:

This is because the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functions of your device use the same antenna. When you connect a Bluetooth device to your tablet, the Bluetooth occupancy becomes high and the Wi-Fi performance is degraded or the Wi-Fi network may be disconnected. This is normal and you can still surf the Internet normally, such as watching videos online.

Solution:

If your work requires high-speed Wi-Fi, you are advised to disconnect the Bluetooth device first. To do this, swipe down the notification bar, and disable the Bluetooth switch.

Personally this is the only device i have that has this problem and i think its unacceptable. I currently have a support case open with them after taking almost a month to respond so far they have said use 5ghz network and reset network settings and i stumbled upon the above.

For me trying to see Netflix or Prime video with BT earphones was impossible with EMUI 9.1

After read all of you, I try to disable location, advanced WiFi scanningb and advanced Bluetooth scanning (under location advanced settings) and it seems much better, at least 5-6 MB/s under 2.4GHz. No differences using 5GHz SSID.

M5 8.4 Wifi (non-LTE)

2.4GHz connection decreases dramatically while bluetooth is working (paired and transmitting/receiving).

5GHz wifi connection drops from 250/200 Mbps (DL/UL) to 120/140 Mbps, so it's affected but in a minor order.

My P20 pro gets 400/380 Mbps from the same place just after testing the M5.
