I connect the S4 to JBL Powerup all the time which supports Apt-x. It seems to always have minor but not insignificant stutter (2x per song). I don't have a regular A2DP speaker to test. I know apt-x sends more information. Maybe that's the reason it stutters more. It's not a huge issue, but would like to have flawless music play back if our phone supports apt-x especially for mp3s not flacs. Not sure if others are experiencing this.

You guys need to tell us what ROM you're running.
And if you search the board for stutter or studder, you'll see other complaints (including my own).
Latest version of SlimBean 6/15 release fixed my stuttering.

From the home screen hit the menu button , click settings, find " about phone " click it and that will show you what ROM and kernel ect .
Now since your not rooted you are stock . I would go into recovery and do a factory reset .
Stutters from stock to every TW rom. I can't do AOSP because I need the external DAC support from TW rooms.

So I've searched using "keywords" and scoured through many similar posts on this issue within the forum and through Google with no luck, so I'm posting this request now.
Is there any way to prevent a new message/text notification sound from halting music playback?
I hook up my phone to the car to blast the music but when I get a text, it stops/halts/pauses the song, plays the notify sound, and then resumes playback.
I don't want to turn off the notifications all the way, I just want to have the notify sound play OVER or ON-TOP of the music playback
The phone is still running just the stock rom, but if you guys suggest an app or rooting, then I will do whatever it takes, thanks!
This is part of MOST phones. My phone does it, the G1 does it, my friends BB does it.
thanks fenixnr....so is there nothing that can be done to correct this on an Android device?
I know in the past I've had Windows Mobile devices with the same issue (Xperia X1) and some of the ROMs I flashed on it corrected the issue while others did not. My HD2 doesn't have this problem and it has a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack too.
Am I the only one who has noticed this
I was hoping someone else would have wanted the same thing resolved.

There is nothing to "resolve" as I am pretty sure that is by design how it should work. I cannot test this now, but try putting your phone into a silent mode when listening to your music... Of course, keep your media volume up for your music.
If memory serves me right I think that cm kanged expresso rom had the feature to play notification out of the speaker when headphones were plugged in. Cm6 might have that feature too. I'm not sure though.

honestly if its only a problem when you plug your phone into the car, just put your phone on vibrate or turn the notification off.
Yeah this is honestly the one thing buggin' me right now.
I walk to work it's about a half hour walk to and from and I don't give a damn about my notifications during that time. Hah.
Thought it might be a good idea for all the know early faults to be in one place like the camera zoom fault in video mode etc.
Few guys including me are having issues when using bluetooth. I.e. paired to in car bluetooth. It seems caller cant hear me even thou i can hear them clearly.
Another thing when bluetooth is connected even though you have the loudspeaker option on the phone when pressed it doesnt work. Surely this should be disabled option when connected to bluetooth if it doesnt work anyways?

Could it be related to bt4.0 ?
It could be to do with that. We will have to wait and see when more people connect theres up to there car. Baring in mind the vehicle is fairly new as its a 61 plate merc sprinter 313
Taken from my post at Reddit. Not just faults but also some annoyances.
After 3 days of testing I have a few things that bother me:
When adding any app as a accessibility service (e.g. Lightflow), the Touchwiz Launcher will start telling you where you are right now, e.g. "Homescreen 3 of 5", "Opening folder". Can be fixed by using Apex or removing the app as an accessibility service.
Waking up the phone isn't always instant.
No USB storage mode, only MTP or PTP. You can't use the phone while transferring files.
Boot animations use Samsung's proprietary QMG format --> no custom boot animations for now
While you're in a call, sometimes you can't use your mobile data connection. Wifi works though.
Attaching headset/earphones shows various audio applications that can be launched in the notification area. These apps cannot be customized.
The accuweather widget has a maximum refresh time of one hour. Setting it to anything less than that is not possible. Also, it doesn't always update the current location.

I'd say the non instantaneous lockscreen would be annoying, and MTP would be a real disadvantage. The S3 doesn't allow you to use your phone while in MTP.
I have a Purple tint in the middle the screen . Do you think it Can disappear with an update

Also having bluetooth issues. Paired my s3 to a 2 year old toyota RAV4 and the pairing work ok, however poeple can't hear me at all. Got to work this morning and paired with a new Hyundai ix35 and all work ok. Have got my RAV 4 booked in a toyota next week to see if theres a software upgrade for the stereo. I hope this can be rectified...

Considering a reflash but to lazy to back up and ensure everything is backed up. Dont wanna miss nothing.

Type of pause?
How long is pause?
Is it clipping?
Is it at a high volume?
Do you have any type of mono or Bluetooth apps installed?
Are you using WIFI or mobile connection for streaning?
Does it occur at certain locations or everywhere?
*Do you use OK GOOGLE or any similar Voice activated apps?
*Check your NOTIFICATIONS! Try changing SOUND NOTIFICATIONS to VIBRATE for all apps by going into sounds & notif in settings.. Change MODE to vibrate.
*Also try playing in AIRPLANE mode & do not disturb
*Does it occur when streaming to a tv or media device?
With these questions we can rule out various "connectivity" issues or interference as WELL as apps fighting for control over speaker or microphone, for notifications etc. As there are many
You should find the cause as with almost all media streaming apps most have options to go into a do not disturb mode as other apps utilize the same reaources resulting in conflicts like you described! After changing to VIBRATE notification mode and/or AIRPLANE mode, it becomes just a matter of narrowing down offending app.. Until then it will work at least!
HOPE THIS HELPS! There r days I need help! too
I had same problem and ı thought this problem can be related to an app ı installed. And it was. When i uninstalled Sputnik news. My problem had gone. If u have it, uninstal. If u dont have, may be one of other app causes. Try uninstalling each app, and find the app causes this problem
Hello everybody,
When I try to make a video or audio recording using an app that is not from ZTE, the audio is really garbage, specially if there is music around.
I've attached some audio files(I had to zip them because xda didn't let me upload the files separately) to show the huge difference in quality, check it out, the same part of the music, but the sound is horrible!!
And it is the same if I try to make a video, using the camera app is really good, but if I use Instagram/Snapchat the quality drops to almost nothing.
For example, if I want make a snap while in a barbecue with friends and there is some music going on, I better forget, because nobody can distinguish the voices and the music..
Anybody knows how to fix this?
It is really annoying and unsatisfying to use the phone

That's probably because the stock apps are adapted to use the AK4961. You can try a custom ROM maybe (LOS might do the trick). Try to dual boot LOS to see if this fixes your problem

Have you tried in other APP, or such problem all happen in music APP? Have you fixed your phone's problem yet?

Well yes, but i guess you mean if you can do it without unlocking the bootloader, in which case no. you have to unlock the bootloader to be able to install a custom recovery, and then install a custom ROM like lineageOS. The thing is, you won't have warranty and unless you relock it (which means going back to stock) you'll have to pay a fee if you need to repair it.
If you install a custom ROM you'll have a close to vanilla Android system, like Nexus/Pixels or moto phones. Most things work differently there, for example the camera is slightly worse and the phone didn't use the dedicated DAC until practically a couple of weeks ago. But it usually solves problems like this one.

Hey guys,
I installed the OpenBeta 1 on my OP5, and it seems I have bluetooth connection issues with my car. It keeps connecting, then disconnecting all the time... I tried deleting the sync, resyncing everything but still the same issue.
Anyone else? I'm using Blu spark kernel (I'll have to try it with stock kernel) and stock OOS, clean flash.
Thanks!
Same here with open and leaked betas. It may work for half an hour or just a few minutes. Pretty annoying, but it's the only issues I'm facing with the betas.

Open beta 1 here, everything stock, no problem at all with all my BT devices (car, speaker, watch...)
I haven't had any issues on Open Beta 1 either, use the BT in my car on a daily basis for at least an hour at a time.
On Open Beta 1 the sound via Bluetooth connected to speaker is very quiet compared to stable 4.5 ... also, I tried all available codecs with no difference.
Anyone else is experiencing this, too?

I made some testing, and it appears that when the phone is connected without telephone and notifications, music is played correctly without any issues. However when connecting the phone and notification (through the Bluetooth settings), it stops the music and phone keeps connecting and disconnecting.
I'll have to try with the Ok Google disabled through headset.
Did you guys test with telephone and notification on through car? Strange that some have issues and others don't...

Bluetooth issues after Beta 1 update
Hi there,
I have issues with my OP5 since I updated to Oreo Beta 1.
Randomly Bluetooth audio cuts several times during 1 or 2 minutes (sometimes more) so music is awful. Impossible to hear...
I only have this issue since I updated to the beta, so please solve this for the official release.
I use Bluetooth music play in my car (Toyota Auris 2011), with headphone (Sony MDR-ZX770BN), Speaker (Harman Kardon HK OMNI 10), and I have the same issue on all of them.
One question, is it possible to perform a rollback to stock ROM? All my attempts were unsuccessful... Invalid zip archive...
Please help!!!
hopefully these issues have been fixed in Open Beta 2: http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_openbeta_2/ ("Improvements for Bluetooth audio") ... I'm gonna check this out tonight.
