I've noticed that when I'm on the subway listening to music and my signal drops the music cuts out for a second. it does this also when the signal has been re-established as well. I've tried multiple media players, played with any settings I could think of but I'm very new to Android so I'm sure I'm missing something. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? currently I've been enabling Airplane mode when getting on subways, but I'd rather not have to.
I posted about this earlier, it's the cell-signal-found alert cutting into your audio. Short of turning on Airplane Mode there's nothing you can do on wired headphones to avoid it.
You CAN go around the issue with Bluetooth headphones, which for whatever reason don't get interrupted. Sucky solution I know but it works.
Am I really the only one here with this problem? could it be a hardware issue? I have a hard time believing there isn't a software fix for something like this.

I've checked high and low on the forums for something similar or a solution to my problem, but alas I can't find anything so I'm starting a thread.
As the title state's my phone rings people whenever an AUX jack is in, listening to music, or hooked up to a stereo. I've tried restoring to factory setting's also I've tried different headphones and stereo's but still no joy.

HTC HD Desire HD.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hmm, maybe I've got a similar probelm, I use normal 3.5mm in-ear headphones with my Desire HD and they are able to make strange things, if I gently move the jack, sometimes my phones starts a call to the latest called person, sometimes it skips to the next song, sometimes the music is paused.
I think that has something to to with the default headset funcionality, but it would be great if there was a way to lock any function other than playing music if no multi-functional headset is plugged in.
You're going to think I'm nuts but I've tried everything.
It seems to go berserk when you do a screwing motion with the 3.5mm jack. It doesn't make any difference what headphones I use whether they've got any calling buttons on them or not they just go absolutely mental.
I will admit to doing the calling bug that increases the music volume when you hang up straight after making the call.
But I still can't get around it and it's VERY frustrating, especially in the car.
The same problem
Hey, i have the same problem. This morning i was listening to music on my way to school. And all of the sudden it went berserk, started calling, skipping. What to do?
That happens if the AUX wire passes a current (many times stray) back to the phone. The phone just reacts in the way it would if a button was pressed on one of those headphones having an in-line mic/button.
A lot of times this stray current comes because of static build-up. I'm sure you guys know how to get rid of that. If it's not because of static, it might be because of faulty wiring on the audio enhancement (not usually the case), or if the audio enhancement and the phone function at hugely different potential differences (also, usually not the case).
As far as mine is concerned, freeing it of static usually helps.
One way to quickly judge if it's static that's the problem is if the call/skip/whatever usually takes place the minute you plug it in.

Search for an app on the market called "headset blocker"
NO luck
The above post helps,
However im testing the new ICS rom by Lord Clockan and twistedumbrella and there is no compatability for ICS. Wondering is anyone knows what part of the phone controls headset controls so i can mak an app to block it on 4.0?
Its a real pain as i cant play music at all,
random apps start playing music over other apps and music stops in others, skips tracks etc. SO frustrating.
Take out headphones
Blow into the jack hole
Plug back in headphones
Sorted till the next time crap builds up in there.

I have the same problem. And its realy anoyeing me . Cant listen to music at all anymore on my desire HD...
I have that problem for a while now. The blwoing inside technik did work for a while, but doesent anymore.
That headset blocker would be amazing if it would be working on ICS. Im on the LordMod Beta to.
@geinome would be amazing if you could make an app to fix that. But honestly i have no idea were in the sistem that headset control is located. Hope you can find it.
Found a Fix. Hope it helps you guys to.
I found an other App, that did solfe the problem for me eaven on ICS. The App Headset Interceptor is meant to let you choos, which Music App should receve the signal coming from the remote on the headset. But if you dont choose any from the Apps to get the signal, none dose and so none is cousing problems
Would love to post you guys the link to the market, but cant couse i dont have anouth post yet. But im sure i can sind it yourself
I hope this is solving the problem with the unwanted calls to. Couse i never had that problem, i cant test that.
you dont need any apps
you just need a needle to clean up the pocket lint inside the 3.55 jack.
for me it's usually enough to unplug the jack and plug it in again and all works well for the next month or so.
Anyone else getting repeated - and VERY frustrating - audio dropout? For me, it's happening incessantly with PocketCasts and Audible, but it would probably apply to other apps if I used them (I'm kind of a words-not-tunes guy!). There's a tiny little pop then the sound just stops. To get it back you have to pause and resume. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get it going again. Sometimes, it requires a hard reboot of the phone altogether.
The WEIRD thing is that this isn't an audio focus issue. These apps continue to "play" all the while when they go silent. They don't pause. When they resume, I've missed stuff and have to rewind (more frustration!). Which makes me think it's to do with the overall audio system, rather than another app interfering with whatever I'm listening to.
So, this can happen anytime. But it does tend to happen more when I pocket my 6P. I thought maybe it's a proximity sensor thing, maybe the TGSP I'm using. But calls are fine, so I don't think it's that. Maybe it's an accelerometer thing? Maybe Fit is interfering? Who knows... ?
Anyone else experienced this, or got any solutions?

Are you using a Bluetooth headset or have it connected to a Bluetooth device when this happens?

No. No Bluetooth whatsoever, which is a bit alarming. And its not Fit because I uninstalled that - I already know I'm in perfect physical form - don't need my phone to tell me that Really can't figure it out and its becoming a bit RMA-y
Poor Audio over Bluetooth, Poor overall BT reception.
I thought it was my device and sent it back to google, they sent me a replacement and it has the same issue, if im streaming music to any device (Headphones, Speaker, Car Stereo) and cover the top of my phone its like im almost going out of range and the audio goes choppy or off, remove my hand and the audio returns to normal. Google said they have never heard of this issue before and are convinced a third device will solve the issue, i doubt it unless they have a revision 2 model.
Its not just audio, i have a watch that gets notification on the go, same thing, if the top gets covered my watch often says disconnected, take the phone out and within 20 seconds it reconnects.
Clearly there is an issue with BT on this phone, no software update (inc. N preview) addresses it, google seems unaware or uninterested in the problem, i would have addressed it a long time ago but i have been holding out for a fix before i realised how easy it is to replicate the problem.
I also have issue with it. I pair my headphones Phillips Tapster and all I hear is non-stop choppy sound(every few seconds a spike). In the beginning I thought my headphones were giving problems, but it is not the case, becase I have a few other Androids and all work fine. So it is the 6P.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a solution which I can share. I only can share what won't work in my experience:
- Factory reset(wipe);
- Return to stock if custom ROM is used;
- Changing ROMs;
- Killing all other apps except the one which uses the device currently;
- Switching off other communication services like wi-fi;

I can confirm this.
I get this as well. I can't put the phone in my pocket if I use Bluetooth headphones. I've tried different headphones, both factory M and N preview.
Mines not that bad. It used to stutter every minute or so but I turned off Bluetooth/WiFi scanning and fixed that problem. But now it just decided to start getting all staticy when the screen is turned on. Either by me text or phone calls. Haven't figured out why it's only happening at that time

What happens when you cover the top of your phone with your hands, does the audio start cutting out?

nothing happens at all. no change in sounds, no stuttering in play.
I did another FDR the other day. got everything installed again turned off wifi/bluetooth scanning and wifi itself (since im not at home) and works perfect. no skipping or stuttering at all. even the 5 seconds of stutter is gone when the screen turns on. hopefully it stays this way

I have the same problem on my car sound system (mazda 2 2016). I found a solution. I turn on the N6P bluetooth before turning on the car system (in my car it turns on when I turn on the car at the same time). When I have the N6P's bluetooth on before turning on the car I have a good conection at 100% of the times. When I forget to turn on the N6P's bluetooth before turning on the car I have a bad conection at 50% of the times.
I hope this could work on your sound systems.

I have tried 3 replacement phones and each time I speak with Google they inform me that they are not aware of any BT issue. Bull****! I can't wait to get rid of this phone. I have the same issues you have related to BT.

Thanks but i rarely turn off BT, its always available but i did go and try combinations of having it off or on pre connection and no difference, still my phone acts like the BT signal is too weak if i move around.

Thanks for confirming, im not holding any hope on the 3rd replacement either, I have had a lot of nexus devices over the years and this BT issue is unique and driving me nuts and really making me think twice about the new upcoming replacement in Q4, especially if its made by Huawei. Ive also noticed the chassis has started to buckle near the volume buttons.
well for some unknown reason the stutter when screen comes on came back. worked fine on bluetooth all weekend. then this morning i go to use my LG 850 BT headphones...and bam...stuttering. maybe LG pissed off Hauwei and they decided to cause issues with all LG items hahahaha

Apparently all CM based ROMs has the stutter issue when screen is turned on when streaming, something to do with the AudioFX, im back on AOSP ROM, no issue with screen on but still have issue when covering the top of my phone or putting in my pocket. sux.

thanks for that. i hadnt heard it was a CM issue. gonna install PA6.0 within the next couple days
I am having a weird issue that I've never encountered before. I have a bluetooth earpiece (an MPOW one from Amazon). If, while listening to podcasts (or music or anything else) through it I disconnect from Wifi, the audio drops from the earpiece and keeps playing from the phone's speaker. I then have to turn off my earpiece and turn it back on again to get the audio to route through the earpiece. It doesn't disconnect (still shows as connected) when this happens...it just stops playing though the earpiece.
I've tried forgetting and repairing the bluetooth device. I've tried rebooting. I've tried clearing the data for the Bluetooth Sharing application...none of it has fixed the problem. If I turn my wifi off, this doesn't happen....
Any help?
Bluetooth is 2.45Ghz, actually 2400Mhz to 2483.5 MHz including guard bands 2 MHz wide at the bottom end and 3.5 MHz wide at the top...
"2.4Ghz" 802.11 WiFi is 2401Mhz to 2495Mhz...
See the problem here? Your issue is not uncommon... reconfigure your router to a different channel or use a 5Ghz WiFi connection and your situation should improve.
This varies by device, and even varies between identical devices, and depends on the environment and situation at the time. My device may have no issues with my BT headset and your does, it actually isn't that unusual.
Me Too

I'm having the same issues. The wifi interference is not the issue. It's been happening to me playing offline materials on Google Play (podcast) and Amazon Music apps It's auto dropping when connected to my car, headphones etc. I wonder if it has something to do with my Pebble smart/dumb watch.? I'm going to try and disconnect that and reconnect it. It was a pain in the Arse the first time. Let me know if you ever figured anything else out. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of traffic on this subject. It's gotta be something obscure. :cyclops:
I finally just did a system reset on my phone and it has fixed the problem. I wonder if it was an app I had installed that was causing the issue....I'm not really sure though.
I'm having the same issue - bluetooth disconnects whenever Wifi disconnects. Anyone figure out what's causing this?
Same issue here too. Mine says it is still connected, but starts playing through the phone speaker. It just happened on a second item, so it's the phone end.
I suspect a rogue app.... Moto G5 Plus

This was driving me crazy too the last few weeks. Cache Cleaner seems to have fixed it.
Mine has been giving me the exact same issues!!! It is driving me crazy!
Tried clearing cache...didn't help. I can't get my wifi to stay connected for the life of me! I'll connect, and it'll die within 5-10 minutes, and won't reconnect until I manually reconnect. This is getting really annoying! Any suggestions?
Cache cleaner turned out to be a temporary fix only. I think I have finally fixed it, but the bad news is I can't really tell anyone what I did. I just went through and either uninstalled or froze all the apps I rarely use including several Motorola apps and it appears to be working now. So if it continues to work, it was a rogue app...just don't know which one.
I was wondering if anyone else is having Bluetooth volume go up and down while listening to music? I am on the T-Mobile variant and 8ts very annoying. I've seen elsewhere people suggesting Disable Absolute Volume but still does it.
Hey, I have the same issue here. I was wondering if it's just in my head, but sometimes it is pretty much recognizable, so it is not just a feeling. It is pretty annoying. It happens on multiple devices, from Bullets Wireless, JBL Flip 4 and even Car Audio System. I tried to change BT codec in Developers Settings, without any success. Interestingly, it does not happen with every connection, only from time to time. But when happens, then it occurs all the time to next disconnection.
If it is Android 9 Pie issue, let's hope for quick fix.
