I think I broke my A2DP bluetooth...
Was using it fine with two different "model Ebay" stereo headests. Yesterday I could not get any music played and later tested with another one, same problem. Pairing and connecting goes ok and device shows that everything should be fine. But when playing music, I can hear some clicks and cracks. Sounds like decoding would be badly broken.
Strange thing is that I paired U8800 with my laptop that supports playing music from phone through A2DP and it worked fine! Also ruled out possibility that both headsets would be broken by testing with my wifes U8800, worked like a charm.
Any ideas? Is there anyway to "reset" bluetooth settings or some cache crap related to A2DP? Somehow I suspect that this problem relates to devices that I have already once paired with phone... Since new device (laptop) worked fine.
Have rebooted, dismounted battery, removed all bt pairings... I bet flashing in ROM would help, but not very tempting just because of this.
Have no idea why this happend, only changes to anything that could relate to A2DP was installing and uninstalling Doubletwist player.
Could you figure out the reason for your broken a2dp connection? I have the same issue with my car's stereo and my Galaxy SII. Worked fine until some days ago. Now everything _seems_ to be fine (avrcp is working, when I change volumen on the device I see 'bluetooth media' popup) but I don't hear anything.
Already tried the steps you described, too.
Hi all.
Here's what I'm seeing and what I'm trying to figure out.
On my new Nexus 4, which in other respects seems just fine, voice over Bluetooth is basically unusable. I first tried testing out voice commands for dialing etc., which consistently failed. A friend happened to call while I was doing this, and could barely make out what I was saying (reported it as choppy, digitized etc.).
This is using a Plantronics Discovery 975. Which works fine with my Nexus One, so isn't a faulty headset (I even had my wife's same model headset and tried it also). I don't have any other headsets handy.
This N4 *has* been upgraded to 4.2.1. After searching a bit, I found numerous reports and a couple articles re many BT features, including voice over BT, being broken to a great extent on many devices with 4.2.1 (or earlier, and getting still worse in 4.2.1). Those reports, however, mostly seemed to reference devices other than the N4 (though perhaps only due to its newness & relative scarcity, hard to know).
I then tried the headsets with my wife's Galaxy Nexus, which also had been upgraded to 4.2.1. On that, however, the voice over BT apparently worked fine, or at least much better -- sounded ok, and VR could recognize contacts to be called.
Thus I could at least conclude it isn't just voice over BT simply broken in 4.2.1 everywhere (which would have made things simple.. ), and it isn't simply voice over BT in 4.2.1 with the Discovery 975 either. So add in the Nexus 4.
I've seen many reports of BT streaming audio issues on the N4 with 4.2.1, but little at all about voice, and certainly some successful reports for voice.
So I'm trying to figure out: What is the likelihood that with all of the 4.2.1 Bluetooth troubles, there is a consequent BT software issue on my Nexus 4 when used with this Discovery 975 headset? Vs., what is the likelihood that my specific N4 has some kind of hardware issue with BT?
- How many folks are using voice over BT successfully? Anyone else having issues?
- What version does your N4 have -- 4.2.1, or earlier?
- If you used it *before* an upgrade to 4.2.1, did it work both before and after the upgrade, or did the upgrade introduce issues?
- Anyone specifically using the Plantronics Discovery 975, or another Plantronics?
Basically, I'd really like to avoid the crap shoot of exchanging the phone (BT voice is a critical feature for me), since it seems fine in all other respects, and with all of the manifest BT issues that appear to have been introduced with 4.2.1, that seems like at least a reasonable culprit.
However, if there aren't widespread issues with voice over BT on the N4 with 4.2.1, then it would seem the only way it would be a software issue, would be if it's the combination with my particular Plantronics headset model. Otherwise, I think I'd have to face the possibility of a hw issue. (Bad timing for me with 4.2.1's buggy BT issues, it really obscures the situation. )
Another useful test for me to try might be to revert back to the prior OS version and test with that, but I gather I have to root to do that, not sure if that also voids the warranty.. (hence preventing me from exchanging it if I did ultimately need to).
TIA
Bump.. help a brother out -- no one using voice over Bluetooth on their N4, or have some perspective on the above?
Seems like a lot more people talking about audio streaming over BT than voice.. not sure if that's because audio streaming is much more widely used, or if people are having issues with audio streaming with their N4 but not voice.

Yes I've noticed BT broken when trying to use voice commands on a headset. But what's more troubling is BT sometimes just doesn't work at all. Tap to turn on and it immediately turns off. A reboot fixes the issue but I have to do this every other day it seems. Hoping for either a 4.2.2 or 4.3 patch.

Thanks Suthrn.. sounds also as though, like me, you never tried voice BT prior to 4.2.1. When you say a reboot fixes the issue, you mean just a simple long-press power off and restart? Or some kind of hard reset?

Oops, just realized, sounds like you mean the reset resolves this other issue you mention with the BT just immediately turning off again after turning it on.
I haven't seen that problem as yet, but of course there's still time.
Bluetooth works great for me... Syncs 2x faster than my galaxy nexus. Using Motorola s11 HD flex stereo Bluetooth headset. I think these things are at least BT 3.0 but everything about them has been alright. The only problem i have is that music over BT is blown out crackling depending on the app (Pandora for instance) This is supposedly a 4.2 issue and not a hardware one.

Thanks. But it sounds like yours is another case of just audio streaming to your Bluetooth stereo headphones, not using voice over a Bluetooth voice headset (actually just took a look for the headset model you described, and indeed it appears to be just for streaming output, not for voice input). The problem I'm talking about is specifically with voice input to the phone. In fact, with my Plantronics headset, I've been able to hear the VR prompts coming over from the phone without any obvious problems, it's just my voice input to the phone that appears to be getting munged.
I use plantronics back beat 903+ and have less issues than with my iPhone. I stream audio books and make calls. Voice commands are interpreted way better than on Siri. I had a 1 in 5 shot of it picking up "Call Lissa Lu" the first time. I cannot say it is perfect but I haven't had people complaining of not understanding me on a call.

It might be your phone after all. I've been using BlueAnt Q2 and built-in system in my car - have not noticed any issues before or after 4.2.1 upgrade.
I also have a Plantronics Discovery 975 and have experienced the same choppiness/digitized sound you describe.
This has happened on my N4 with my 975, and my wife's N4 with her 975. We both had Nexus Ones before and the 975s worked perfectly.
I have not had a chance to try the N4 with another bluetooth device, and I did not get a chance to use the 975 with the N4 before upgrading to 4.2.1.
Anyway, you are not alone in your frustration with the sound through the 975...

Parrot MKI 9200 here. Works fine for voice calls... in fact, generally people tell me that it's better than my old GNex. Voice recognition on the parrot works as reliably as on the GNex... If the quality was bad, it certainly wouldn't work.
I read a lot of complaints about the new BT stack in 4.2.x so perhaps this is related to the A2DP issues... audio streaming is definitely poor on the nexus 4. Or perhaps it just doesn't like your headset. Have you tried another?

I have noticed that compared to my old Galaxy nexus, the quality of the connection to my Camaro is much much worse. Its a 2012 and a I had the dealership do a software update just to make sure it wasn't the car. Any other phone its crystal clear by my N4 is just horrible.
I just noticed this yesterday in my Mazda 3. Music streams perfectly fine, but I was on a call, and the other party could not understand what I was saying. I tried listening from the other side, and it's really distorted and difficult to hear.

Same. Streaming music is fine. But sound is distorted on calls.
I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Pro and also have the phone connected via Bluetooth to my BMW. I've had calls come in where I was unable to hardly hear what they were saying (horrible sounding audio) and they said the same thing about me. This has happened on both my Plantronics headset (I have two, and it's happened to both) and in my BMW. Just now I got a pair of VIZIO VXTHB100 Stereo Headphones and when I first tried to pair them up the phone only showed the MAC address of the headset and came up with an error when trying to connect it... It's worth noting that I did do a reboot on my phone earlier in the day already to.
I turned bluetooth off and back on (without touching my headset) and POOF it found the headset (showing by name this time) and connected right away.
I really, REALLY, hope this is a software issue that will get patched soon. Coming from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus which was PERFECT and now I'm dealing with this... I feel like it's my Nexus ONE all over again.... I'm honestly concerned with the quality of this phone compared to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (internals wise). I'd go back to my Samsung GNexus if my woman wasn't using it as an upgrade from her old Nexus S... Another thing I've noticed is that 90% of the time I can't get Google Chat/Google + Video chats to use my bluetooth headset OR Skype to use it either... SOOOO damn annoying.
BTW, the sound quality on the VIZIO Stereo Bluetooth headset is okay. Not as good as my gaming headset, but hey, they will do the job well and I can answer a call with them on if need be to.

Thanks for all the replies so far (especially the guy with the also-failing Discovery 975). I had already started to lean toward deeming it a likely software issue, given a) all the apparent general BT issues introduced with 4.2/4.2.1 and, b) I finally was able to try streaming Bluetooth audio, and that worked with no obvious issues. I would think that there wouldn't be anything physically about the BT radio or the way it is situated that would lead it to fail for just voice input but not output, no? I don't really know anything about the hw.
It seems more likely at this point that with the current BT software there are compatibility issues with various devices, but there is also a platform dependency as well (hence the Discovery 975 working ok on my wife's Galaxy Nexus with 4.2.1, but not my N4).
Or else, if it is a hw issue, it sounds like one present on a number of Nexus 4s, given the responses so far.
Of course, if Google would say something about it, we'd not be in the dark. This is a pretty critical feature for a lot of folks. Unfortunately, I've come to be surprised when they announce anything at all. Bugs happen, even severe ones, but it would help a lot to just know what is going on.
I've used seinhessier vmx 100 which worked surprisingly well, as on my old phone I almost threw it out as no one understood me and I could hardly hear them. Now they don't even notice! I'm using stock, not rooted 4.2.1.

I am using a Plantronics Voyager and i too have some issues. The problem is hearing what other are saying as most sound distorted and to loud. I dont know what to do and the headset worked perfect with my old Galaxy S2.
Similar poor audio when using LG Bluetooth headset which worked great with iPhone 4s and macbook pro for calls.
Has anyone tried a custom rom, say cyanogen 10 based or aokp?
Wondering if the stacks in the custom roms are any different than stock.

I've been using the LG G6 for nearly a week now, and everything worked well. I have 4 different Bluetooth devices paired with the phone, a couple headphones, a UE Speaker, my Moto 360. When I paired the phone with my 2016 Acura RDX, the bluetooth app crashes on the phone, and the phone then goes into a bluetooth crashing loop. So every few seconds after the phone restarts the BT, it crashes again and again. I have had no such issues with any other Android phone (Pixel XL, S6, Nexus, Note 7). I tried unpairing the phone with the car and pairing again. I removed all other phones from my cars BT device list. I tried clearing the BT App cache. Rebooting the phone. Nothing worked so far. What is even stranger about it, is that when I go to the G6 settings, and turn off "Media Audio" and use just the "Call Audio", it works just phone. As soon as I turn back on "Media Audio", it immediately crashes and starts the cycle again. I use Google Music for my service. Not sure what I can do to fix this issue.
I have the same problem but only in youtube..when i watch something and then dissmis it blutooth crashes and then it reconects again but no force closes after that..until next video and so on..even when i hear music and stop it crashes for one time and thats it..really strange i hope lg will fix that soon
Could be something going on with the hardware. I'd exchange the phone.
Having the same issue with a 2015 MDX. Haven't found a solution yet.
When playing music to a BT speaker, it seems to require a skip of tracks before the music starts playing. After that, it see fine. The MDX, though, it all cuts out - both phone and music.

Very odd. I've streamed for over 5 hours on two different days to a UE Boom and Oontz Angle and haven't experienced any issue. I know this is drastic, but have you tried a factory reset?

Yes, as well as deleting the connections and repairing them. The G6 seems to have evened out with other BT speakers - works without issue it seems - but continues to struggle with the Acura system.

I drove a 2013 Civic for awhile and had issues with the blue tooth in that car. I wonder if it's a Honda thing. Volkswagon's blue tooth sucks as well, that and their overhead dome light assemblies squeak and rattle - that drove me nuts. Toyota's blue tooth just works.

Tested the G6's bluetooth on a 2015 Acura TLX and it has the same issue as the OP. Shows BT connected, turn on Google Music, start a song and Bluetooth crashes. Bluetooth eventually restarts and song plays for a second and crashes again. No solution found.
There was another user on Reddit that stated he had the same issue and restarted his phone a bunch of times and it fixed the issue. This however did not work for me.
For reference, I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu, and while I haven't experienced the same issue with bluetooth crashing, I do not get a steady stream through the car's audio. It seems to be isolated to LG; I had the exact same issue with my G5, and it's been no different with the G6. I also have a Samsung GS7 and it streams through bluetooth just fine. Based on what I've seen here and in other threads, I believe this is a software issue that LG can fix.

I've not had this issue with my Bluetooth on my mazda cx5. Or my audio receiver at home. Interesting. Mayne update your cars infotainment system to the latest version?
I've used mine with 2014 eXcelon and 2006 Alpine with kca-100BT adapter and neither has had issues.
Bluetooth is a highly inconsistent technology. Even when devices supposedly support the same profiles, sometimes their Bluetooth stacks or hardware just don't work well together.
Hopefully future updates will fix this issue for you, or, as lg3FTW mentioned, maybe there's a firmware update for your stereo.

Same problem

I think it is. I just got the LG G6 and I'm having the same issues. I did some research and it seems the problem is mostly occurring on the Honda/Acura cars.
This is incredibly frustrating. Hoping someone found a fix or an update comes soon to solve the problem. Not being able to use the hands free bluetooth is a dealbreaker for me.
I got the new update today (H87310d) and it did not fix the issue. In the meantime I have signed up for Spotify as I cannot use the Google music app in my car.
I have found one odd way to get to it work. If I leave the phone far away from the car where it is still able to connect. The connection will be fuzzy but I found the app will not crash.
I think it's most likely an issue of BT4.2 trying to connect with older BT versions... Honda probably uses the old 3 or 2 even on their devices.
I've had similar issues with other phones and with other stereos as well, my old S4 had this issue with a 2009 JVC head unit with BT2.0, streaming would just not work properly, if I switched to my other car with a 2014 Kenwood HU with BT 3.0 I had no issues.
Having same issue with my Pioneer head unit. I have two of them in 2 different vehicles and the same issue happens. For some reason with Google music it's worse than others. I can play music fine but if I switch to another station of track the BT crashes and reconnects than keeps playing again. Same happened with Spotify but less frequently. I called LG and they were no help. With my Lgg4 I had some BT issues in the past with some firmware Versions but not this bad. With the latest version it was working fine With these head units. I really like LG phones but hate the bugs they sometimes have. Hopefully they will fix soon. Wish they could just get a log and figure out the issue.

Or, I dunno, let us unlock the bootloader and the community here could fix it once we had root
Isn't there a way to contact LG regarding this? This IS a defect. Surely there has to be a way to record/log this for them to fix.
I just recently purchased a LG G6 and I am also having connection problems with Bluetooth. I drive a 13 Honda Accord and while playing music the app shuts off then back on and repeats this process.
FYI I was having the same crashing problem streaming via Play Music with my G6 to my 2105 TLX. However if I stream using DoubleTwist bluetooth works great. So my problem seems to be isolated to the Google Play app. Odd.

My bluetooth crashes with all my devices (omaker speaker / LG headphones / FM adapter in the truck)
any app will do it Audible amazon music the default music app Play music all of them crash the bluetooth
if you ignore the notace it will continue to play for a bit but it eventually disconnects and reconnects
like someone said above if I skip to the next song sometimes the music comes back .. very annoying indeed.
O and my phones less than a week old
Have this issue w/ the S7, note7 and now this s8+. The S5, S6 works, note5, etc. Exact same results with the phones that do not work.
In my other cars it works fine so I know its my Kia but I don't have any idea how I can rectify this. Called the tech at Kia and he said they've not tested the note 7 and may never as the car is a few years old so It looks like I'm on my own here. On my 2013 Kia optima w/ navi I do not get media audio so only BT that works is the phone. It will show the first song sometimes on pandora (Streaming audio, NOT pandora app radio) but never will update after that. All audio always comes from phone speaker. I can change songs from the stereo but that's it. Totally useless. Works fine in my other cars and my BT radio in my garage so it's a problem w/ my Kia but WTF?? My note 3, note 5 and S6 work just fine. Very disappointing. My wife is running android 6.x on her s6 and it works so it is not that.
I had a ticket into google on this for my note7 but they blamed samsung saying the ROM is fully customized by samsung. Samsung says it's googles issue.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggested fixes?
Yes, I had this issue! When I got my S8 yesterday it would connect for phone and the third(?) option, but not for the media option. Your car might be the issue though, if none of those phones work. Mine did show three options: phone, media en another one.
Well: during the car ride I noticed there was an update for 'Samsung Connect' so I downloaded that. After that update still no joy. I then proceeded into work, obviously disconnecting the bluetooth connection. Once I got back in my car at the end of the day the connection magically worked. So it might be one of a few things:
1. Update Samsung Connect (if you can)
2. Disable bluetooth
3. Remove bluetooth paired device
4. Turn off car and restart phone
5. Try again
I`m about to head out for work again so I`ll see whether mine still works or not.

Yes, I had this issue! When I got my S8 yesterday it would connect for phone and the third(?) option, but not for the media option. Your car might be the issue though, if none of those phones work. Mine did show three options: phone, media en another one.
Well: during the car ride I noticed there was an update for 'Samsung Connect' so I downloaded that. After that update still no joy. I then proceeded into work, obviously disconnecting the bluetooth connection. Once I got back in my car at the end of the day the connection magically worked. So it might be one of a few things:
1. Update Samsung Connect (if you can)
2. Disable bluetooth
3. Remove bluetooth paired device
4. Turn off car and restart phone
5. Try again
I`m about to head out for work again so I`ll see whether mine still works or not.

Yeah so there's prolly something else wrong, as mine did show the media option. Sorry
Yeah it occurs on all 2011-2013 kia/hyundais w/ navigation and i'm sure other cars as well. Nobody wants to fix it and basically it keeps me from even using this phone.

Have this issue w/ the S7, note7 and now this s8+. The S5, S6 works, note5, etc. Exact same results with the phones that do not work.
In my other cars it works fine so I know its my Kia but I don't have any idea how I can rectify this. Called the tech at Kia and he said they've not tested the note 7 and may never as the car is a few years old so It looks like I'm on my own here. On my 2013 Kia optima w/ navi I do not get media audio so only BT that works is the phone. It will show the first song sometimes on pandora (Streaming audio, NOT pandora app radio) but never will update after that. All audio always comes from phone speaker. I can change songs from the stereo but that's it. Totally useless. Works fine in my other cars and my BT radio in my garage so it's a problem w/ my Kia but WTF?? My note 3, note 5 and S6 work just fine. Very disappointing. My wife is running android 6.x on her s6 and it works so it is not that.
I had a ticket into google on this for my note7 but they blamed samsung saying the ROM is fully customized by samsung. Samsung says it's googles issue.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggested fixes?

I have the same issue. I have a 2012 of the same car, Navigation with Infinity speakers. This is not the UVO head unit. I can connect for phone calls and contacts, but all media plays through the phone. I can see the first item from the music app, and can only skip to next song (I haven't tried previous song as I am only streaming). It does not pause though. All audio keeps coming through the phone no matter what.
I've enabled/disabled streaming on the car. I've reset the radio/head unit. I've reset the Bluetooth on the car. I've unpaired from the car side and phone side. I've tried various combinations of these things. None has fixed it. I've mentioned the problem in forums here:

Try the bluetooth app called bluetooth auto connect. I can not connect w/ my car on my s8 and s7.

I think it is samsung software. I paired it with a pioneer avic head unit for a trip 8 hours away to deliver the car to my friend. When first paired, it worked fine. Most of the time no issues. But for some reason after one of the rest stops (turned car off) I ran into that issue. When you go into BT settings in the phone, the media option was grayed out.
Only way to fix it was to forget the device, and repair it. It happened a few times on the way over.
Now that my friend has the car, he has no issues and streams with his Moto Z.
I have another issue with my car. The phone connects to Bluetooth but I can't navigate thought my music folder within the car system. Previously I had no issue with S7 edge and iPhone 7 plus. This is driving me crazy considering that Android auto just sucks with music playback. Most of the time audio apps I use (Spotify / Google play music) seems to do not work properly.
Audio Issues S8+

I need to toggle off and on the bluetooth 2-3 times for it to connect to media audio. Call audio goes on every time, it is a pain to connect this way every time. It worked perfectly until the first Nougat update.
That certainly isn't the case for kia/hyundais and a few other cars produced around 2011-2014. What make/model is your car?
Did you resolve this? I think I might have seen your post in the samsung forums. I have a 2013 Optima with Nav and having the exact same issue. I've done everything in the samsung forums to no effect. TIA.

Yes, bluetooth auto connect
I have the same issue with a Civic. With S2, it paired fine, but contacts only synced like 200 of them. Music info displayed.
With S8, imports all contacts fine, syncs music fine, but no music metadata. I would like to see artist name, track and album on screen.
All apps I have tried do not work
My issue with the S8+ is that I cannot get my AppRadio 3 microphone to issue voice commands despite having all the correct settings for Google as near as I can figure. The head unit works fine on my LG G3. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. It's destroying the phone's usability.
Old thread but I was having the same issue and found a fix that's been working pretty reliably for me so I wanted to reply in case I can help anyone here.
I was having the problem with my g6 and Hyundai. Phone connects to call audio fine but media audio won't play through the car, I can see the song that's playing and even use steering wheel controls to change it but sound comes out of phone.
What I did. Disconnect from the car, connect to another Bluetooth speaker and play music through it. Connect to the cars Bluetooth and you should get a notification asking what device you want to play audio on, pick the car. Should work for about two weeks and then you'll have to repeat the process.
Hope this works for you guys as well.

I think Google has some things to fix with BT. Hopefully it is fixed in Oreo and above.
When I connect the smartphone with the car via Bluetooth, the music is just intermittent suonds. How do I fix this?
I would like to know this too, anyone?
I started having this same issue after the last/first Tmobile update, before it was fine.
Same thing here. The music would either play through the phone's earpiece or sound like a call playing through the Bluetooth speaker. I read YouMail was a cause so I uninstalled and it still happened I force closed the phone app and it worked normally after that. The issue may definitely be from the T-Mobile update tho.
Yeah been having an issue with volume fading after initial connection, drives me nuts since I use the phone for GPS and music streaming. so I use the v30 for bt music and OnePlus for gps
I'm having an issue with the phone trying to automatically connect to a second Bluetooth device and begin playing music on it. This happened tonight while following behind my wife's car.
Every time we stopped at a light it would connect and I would loose audio in my vehicle and play in hers. No way to stop it connecting other than forget the device or turn off all the functions in that device settings.

I have the T-Mobile 6T and I have this same issue.
It seemed like the previous update fixed it, and was broken by the current update. Anyone know if the international rom has the same problem?

I have converted my TMobile 6t to international and those bugs are fixed.

I'll be updating this on the weekend. Nothing worse than having the beat drop to have the volume drop...

Bluetooth nightmare
I've been having the same issue since I bought my T-Mobile 6T last year and am pulling out my hair trying to figure out how to fix it. I have a "GTA Car Kit" Bluetooth module installed in my '06 Mazda 3 and I use Android Auto with my phone docked in a CD slot mount to give me hands-free text messaging, navigation and music / audiobooks. My phone is also always connected to my android wear watch, so it's technically connected to two Bluetooth devices at once when I use it.
The problem is that audio playback via Pandora, Google Music and my audiobook app that plays on-device mp3's intermittently stutters or skips. It happens immediately sometimes, other times it will work perfectly for half of my commute and then start stuttering every few seconds until I finally just turn off the music/audiobook completely.
I've tried:
Turning bluetooth on and off
Turning my car radio on and off
Changing the developer mode settings for Bluetooth AVRCP Version, Codec, Sample Rate, Playback quality etc.
Clearing storage/cache for Bluetooth
Switching to the international version ROM for the device
Once I got the Oxygen OS v10 update I really though the problem was fixed, but after a few days of working fine it started skipping again.
Does anyone have any idea what's causing this or other things I can try?
[EDIT] I found one more new thing to try on the OnePlus 6T forums https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/bluetooth-stuttering-solved.1076196/
I'll give this a try and report back
