Q: Why does my iPod Touch keep losing bluetooth connection?
My iPod Touch (16 GB) continuously loses its connection to my Plantronics wireless headset. I have tried making sure that both devices are fully charged, but it doesn't seem to matter. I'll be walking along listening to a podcast or some music, and then I hear a little click, and no sound. I press the pause button on my headset and play resumes. Sometimes it will stay connected for 15 minutes, but just as likely it'll lose its connection in 15 seconds. I've tried holding the iPod upside down, and there seems to be some improvement. I tested the headphones with my iPhone, and there's no issue with the iPhone, so I know it's connected somehow to the iPod.
About two months ago, I dropped the iPod, and there is a very slight crack in the glass front. Could this be the issue? Why does it only seem to happen when I'm using it with bluetooth. Can these things be refurbished? Help. I'm sick of interrupted listening.
iPod touch, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
