So if you do a Google search for S5 bluetooth stutter a bunch of hits come up. How many of you out there have an issue with Bluetooth and has anyone been able to resolve the issue? It seems like the typical answer is to clear cache and data for bluetooth but that didn't help.
Also, it only stutters when the screen is off and I have a buddy who has a VZW S5 that doesn't stutter.

Ive tried all the major roms including the stock rooted ones and the custom ones by jrkruse and others. One thing remains clear, we still havent figured out how to fix lollipop's bluetooth cache problems. This happens on all of them and on many different sound systems ive tested.
Ever since switching to Lollipop, the MUSIC app sends the correct track info to bluetooth..... UNTIL i use another app like dropbox or pandora to play a sound, then when i go back to MUSIC it gets stuck on the wrong track info.
It also happens when i do a voice search with google now or sometimes with my Volkswagen's voice search. Its a problem with Lollipop's bluetooth app cache. When I go into bluetooth in app manager and manually force stop and clear cache then reconnect, everything is fine until i try using another app again. Never happened before Lollipop. Kitkat must have automatically cleared its cache whenever another app took control of sound output, which makes sense. I feel like this should be the next big thing to work on for custom ROMs. Ive seen a lot of people having the issue but I dont see anyone working on it.
I'm using note 4 (5.0.1) with bose soubdlink 3. When I use Bluetooth streaming from my phone when I'm connected to the wifi there are occational stutter or pops. However if wifi is off nothing happens. Needless to say no trouble with aux cable either. I'm primarily using apps like gaana, saavn, youtube for streaming music or video. I have tried to clear cache in all those apps and bluetooth killed backgroubd apps. Change router channels. Tried almost all the solutions available I could find in the net so can anyone suggest any fix??

I'm having similar issues with my 910F, but only since updating to 5.1.1, it was fine on 5.0.1. They sound more like small glitches or skips, a few times a minute, but varies. It seems the problem is more widespread:
code_google_com/p/android/issues/detail?id=95294
Turning off wifi doesn't seem to work for me, but keeping the screen on does - that is not really an acceptable workaround though. I've read somewhere it might be some kernel sleep issue. I tried the 5.1.1. NamelessROM, which has a modified kernel and it seems better, but it still happens.
I wouldn't like to go back to 5.0.1, as the 5.1.1 is a lot snappier otherwise.
Happens to mine as well, turning off WiFi does help, however the true fix is to root and then change a line in the build. Prop file.
Which I'm hoping to do today. Let you know how it goes
Hi guys,
I got a new S7 due to breaking the screen on my last one and I seem to be experiencing some strange issues with audio.
In pokemon go for example, sometimes the sound effects will be normal, other times only part of the sounds will play. YouTube seems to often play 5 seconds of a video with audio before it just cuts out.
I haven't been able to identify any consistency and if I click through random apps and go back to YouTube, sometimes the audio will be fine again.
Never had this issue before. Has anybody experienced this?
Cheers

I'm currently experiencing it with Google Play music, a notification says there was a problem with the playback. I think it might be something to do with the upscaler or the adapt sound if you have either enabled?

I don't think I've got either enabled.
Just tried a factory reset and fired up YouTube and it happened straight away. No sound.
Agh! So irritating.

I have the same exact issue after the last update 1 or 2 days ago. Personally I think it's because of the update. I didn't have the issue before it. Drives me absolute mad.
Ah, perhaps that's what it is. I hadn't picked up the ota on my other device.
I hope it's that at least. Would hate to have to go through the process of a replacement phone.
Edit: just as an update... I called Samsung today and after being passed around several different departments, and confirming troubleshooting steps, they've determined that the device may be faulty and I'm going to have to go through the replacement process. I don't know if this is just a bad timing in receiving the phone exactly when a bad update comes out of whether it's a faulty unit. I guess I'll find out by the end of next week when I receive the replacement!

I think the bug is coming from uhq upscaler. Iam on sm-g930f and experienxing the same ****. Anyways when i use soundcloud it cuts out just for a sec and the longer i play music on soundcloud the more cuttings are at the playback. Its freakin annoying though
Hey everyone,
I checked the similar threads but it seems everyone else has issues while playing music. My issue is only during calls.
Very often, almost every time, I have my V20 connected to a car through Bluetooth I get a really bad stuttering during calls. It is pretty much impossible to take a call like this. Sometimes the problem will go away but most of the time I just can't take any calls through Bluetooth. This has happened on a 2012 and a 2016 Toyota Prius C.
I recently got the Jaybird X3 and I experienced the same issue. Which leads me to believe that the issue is with the phone and not the car. I have a Note 4 and I never experienced this issue.
I tried stopping the Bluetooth system app (apps?) and clearing the cache and data but the problem is still there. I mention apps because I see 2 Bluetooth apps. One says its version 7.0 and the other one version 5.30.13. It seems both are active since both have memory used in the last few hours.
I've also tried the unpairing, deleting, and pairing the phone several times and the problem persists.
To be honest the problem is really annoying to the point I've considered getting something else. It is just frustrating to not be able to take calls over BT.
Anyone else having this issue? Is it maybe just my phone? Any ideas what could it be or how to solve the issue?
Thanks
I tried the phone with a MB CLA 250 and the issue is still there.
I also noticed there is a lag on the audio both while listening to music and while playing a video. It is more noticeable when playing a video since the audio is clearly out of sync by about half to one second.
Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this?
Or is it just me?
I can't say I've had this problem. What model v20 do you have? Are you stock or rooted (and if rooted, what ROM/kernel)?
I also have 2 system BT apps but one of mine differs from yours - 5.30.12.1
I'm using a rooted VS995 with a stock 11a rom and the NSSR 5.5 kernel.
Anyone having stutter issues with bluetooth? Playing through my echo dot and just 10 feet away it's super choppy. Even from 3 feet I was having issues. Anyone have any ideas? I'm about to use it in my Kia soul (2012) tomorrow and already worried it won't work there. The audio issue right now is so bad it's not even usable. It chops up for a second every 10 or fifteen seconds.
Also, my WiFi signal strength is much lower than my nexus 6p. Anyone else have lower WiFi strength?
This happened to myself also... albeit intermittently. However it also happened more on my S7 with my car stereo. Usually skipping a song/waiting 10 seconds fixes it. I thought it was my phone, but now I'm not so sure. Just something I just learned to deal with when it happens. Any one find a fix?

I use poweramp. It has settings for buffer length and audio priority. I haven't really played with them much but it could solve your problem.

I don't think that will work with Spotify unfortunately.

Definitely a problem - there is a large (unhelpful) thread over on the Samsung support site too called "Galaxy S8 Bluetooth Connection" (I'm not allowed to post links here yet)
A moderator claimed it's been reported to Samsung but no updates on the status for 2 weeks from him now. Restarting, clearing cache, factory resetting seem to only temporarily help.

New moderator jumped on and blamed the problem on the other devices not being Bluetooth 5.0. So apparently the S8 is not backward compatible with EVERY SINGLE BLUETOOTH DEVICE EVER MADE. Fun!
I am getting bluetooth audio stuttering issues when the FitBit app is installed, and the FitBit battery drains incredibly quickly. When I uninstall the FitBit app everything is fine. All other devices work fine with FitBit, it's only the S8 that's having this weird issue. Any status on a fix???
