Yeah, anecdotal but every friend of mine that complains about BT does it in relation to their Android devices.

I've heard a couple of complaints about Macs but they're rare.

Seems the Android BT stack is just more... flaky. I wonder why...

Android 1.0 to 4.3 (iirc) used Bluez, an open source implementation related to Linux.

Come 4.4 Google partnered up with qualcomm (again iirc) to write a new stack from scratch.
