My upgrade to ICS a couple days ago went fine and I had no problems until last night when I rebooted my phone - just cuz - and then found that the only way BT now plays without stuttering is if I turn off wifi. No problem with 3G/4G, just wifi. I've removed and added both BT devices, rebooted the device again, and it makes no difference. Also stopped Bluetooth Share, cleared data - no change.

I can make a smart action to disable wifi when I turn on BT but that's got obvious drawbacks. I'm contemplating a factory reset but hate to do that if I don't need to.

Anyone else have this?

Well I found a work around for this. I no longer connect as admin to my network, but as guest. For the Razr, there's no practical difference as far as any privs I need but for some reason that means I can use wifi and bluetooth at the same time.

Don't know why I suddenly need to do it this way, but at least it works! I stream my music from Google's cloud so this is nicer than using data when at home.

I just thought I'd pass it as in case anyone else has this issue crop up.
