Issues with Bluetooth Audio

I'm starting to think my phone is defective... Anyone having issues with Bluetooth audio? Paired it to 2 different cars of different manufacturers (obviously not at the same time) and the phone randomly disconnects and/or "lags" when it's playing offline Spotify songs. Rebooted and it didn't make a difference. Anyone else?

had no trouble pairing with my car and it connects extremely fast. way faster than my note 7 or note 4. using the phone as well in the car works great. might be your phone
No problems in my Acura as well. I like how you can quickly choose what device to play A2DP with. Very convenient. Try to re-pair the devices in both cars. Also, remember to clear the devices (as well as all past devices no longer in use), from the car's computer.
I am seeing some similar issues. PocketCast randomly pauses and restarts while streaming, Spotify instead experiences random volume increases and decreases. New 2016 Ram with updated uconnect.
No issues with my 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 - it actually works bettr than my Samsung phones
I had some issues at the beginning to connect to my Golf 2015 but after it worked out everything works great now.
No problem connecting to my 2012 Chrysler. Only problem is now I can not see any info streaming. Anyone have a fix for this. Spotify, Pandora or mp3
No problem with my subaru
same issue with my volvo
The last two versions of Spotify have been terrible (6.3 and 6.5) they both have bluetooth issues. I suggest trying to downgrade to 6.2 and see if that resolves the issue.
I couldn't control music at all with Bluetooth under version 6.3 or 6.5, they would work for 5 min then stop working if you need more directions on how to do this just reply here.

I am experiencing the same issues when connected to my aftermarket car stereo. I find that it is happening with local audio book files in two different apps. The audio gets garbled and cuts out completely, but the app keeps going, so no pauses. This is driving me crazy! Hopefully LG has a fix soon!
I lost connection to my BT speaker when I went out on my deck yesterday. That was never an issue with my G3. Its only about 20 feet.

Pretty sure it's Spotify....I've had all kinds of issues with Spotify since the last update. I loose button control in my Camry, and on my lg tone platinum headphones. Also the the widget quits working and the album art screen quits showing up... No fix yet
Problem could be with nougat!! Pixel users are having issues as well.
I know most dont speak about 7.0 or the V20 but We are currently the only one with 7.0 and the V20 which dont get much press.

Couple of things to try and narrow down:
1. Bluetooth hardware (4.2 BLE for us), so software/hardware versions of both bluetooth and radio unit for the host is the variable...
2. Bluetooth music choice (spotify, music player etc.)
3. Is location of app and/or music files on external sd card?
4. Ensuring theres a "media audio" profile on your BT connection. This can be checked by going to the BT settings of the paired device on your phone.
Personally I've had a good experience with this phone compared to the v10 or even the s7 edge. Music meta data displays on the host unit (aftermarket Pioneer AVH-X4800BS in a '13 Chrysler 200 S type). Audio and mic sound better than the other phones but i have no testing to prove it...
Please post your info and maybe we can narrow it. I have some tech experience dealing with this so I'll try and help
Here's my setup:
1. Pioneer AVH-X4800BS. BT hardware 3.0, software C406 (stock software, needs updating) and radio unit firmware 08.15
2. Spotify and LG music player
3. Downloaded to internal sd card. Streaming as well.
4. Media audio profile present and activated.
Cheers
Edit: I also was experiencing the audio skipping and music player unresponsiveness prior to the v20. My initial guess is the music app goes in the foreground and doesnt get almighty priority treatment that nougut should be giving it if all the above is setup correctly.
An update to my issues as well as my setup to help things along:
On travel last week, my rental car was a Nissan Versa (puke), however, streaming bluetooth with spotify 6.5 worked flawlessly.
Came back to my beloved Ram, cleared both my phone and Uconnect bluetooth connections, repaired my device, and now I am seeing no issues with bluetooth streaming, either spotify or pocketcasts, with the exception of no album art or track time counting. It shows total track time, just no progress.
I believe my issues are with the UConnect system, as it has been a pain in the rear since I bought it last month. Sirius XM resets constantly, cannot connect via USB and Bluetooth at the same time and select USB as the source, etc. (was the same with my iPhone 6 Plus)
My setup:
1. UConnect 5.0 (RA2) Not sure what version of Bluetooth
2. Spotify 6.5 and Pocketcasts
3. Downloaded to internal SD card and streaming
4. Media audio profile present and activated.
I have a 2014 Buick and have the same issue. Works fine then will beggin to studder. Doesnt matter if is local mp3 or streamed from google.. However, as i type, it is the same app. But I am doubtful that is the issue as i get delayed text messages on the vehicle as well. If it is a defective unit i am bummed cuz I just dropped it yesterday and it now owns a a gnarly scuff, took the drop well tho.
I have an LG Urbane as well that also experiences some lag with inbound alerts.
Having streaming issues (DI.FM) in my 2016 Mustang. Stutters, and skips. I'll try to re-pair and see if that works. My S7 Edge worked great, kinda frustrating with the V20. I've also cleared the s& from the Ford Sync. LTE is very strong during my whole commute.
So after I googled a bit more I found a suggestion and it worked for me. Basically go to settings > apps > system apps > bluetooth and force stop the service and clear cache then reboot.. Been smooth since, not sure if this is a permanent fix but if you are having issues its worth a shot.

Bluetooth Audio Stuttering with Spotify

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone who has the LG V20 in their hands is also experiencing any Bluetooth Audio (A2DP) audio stuttering or skipping?
I have the AT&T version that I got early through preorder and when I am listening to music on my Ford Sync 3 in my car it is skipping and stuttering like crazy. It doesn't always do it but when it does, it is nonstop.
Not sure if anyone has suggested fixes... It does it both screen on and screen off. I don't think it's sleep related.

I have the ATT version and am seeing the same sort of issues with Uconnect in my Ram. Super frustrating

Could be on to something... Both Ford Sync 3 and UConnect are both made using BlackBerry owned QNX software. I wonder if something isn't jiving right between the two.
Because I have Plantronics BackBeat Sense and LG Tone Platinum headphones and neither have any issues with Spotify. Only has an issue in my car.
I even went as far as to master reset my car stereo to see if that helped. Could have something to do with the Spotify AppLink app that runs when in the car but not on a regular headset.
Try closing some apps. Also does Spotify have a cache or buffer option you can make bigger? Other than those two problems it could be signal from cellular or Bluetooth interference.
I have closed apps but have not messed with cache or buffer. I also see that track time doesnt count on screen with uconnect via Bluetooth some of the time. Truck is less than a month old and updated. Worked with my iPhone 6 plus, with the exception of album art and not being able to choose USB vs Bluetooth if both were connected. The LG isn't even detected via USB (most likely a USB C issue). I am in an airport right now and hopefully my rental will have Bluetooth to test out another connection.
I am having an issue controlling spotify when using Bluetooth in my Jetta. I can't skip tracks or control at all from my cars touch screen or controls on the steering wheel. Never had this issue with other android devices. Not sure what to do to fix but very frustrating! I have tried uninstalling spotify, wiping and repairing the phone with the car....not sure what else to do. The controls worked only the first day I had the phone. I have smart settings turned off as I thought that may have been interfering.
This is going to sound crazy, but...
I'm having the skipping/stuttering issue in my Lincoln MKC with Sync 3, but ONLY when stopped at a red light or stop sign. When driving above 20 MPH it works perfectly. This is happening in Spotify and my podcast app, and all files are stored on the phone, so it's not a slow cell connection. I just replaced my Note 7 with the V20 and the Note never had any bluetooth issues, so I'm assuming it's an LG issue that hopefully can be fixed with a firmware update.

I just swapped my V20 out with another. Haven't had the issue since. Wonder if it was a bad Bluetooth chip. Was going it when I had a LG tone headset connected while on a phone call. So far new one is good.

when connected to Bluetooth in my car noticed every time i press brakes the sound gets cut off slightly
Have you guys tried turning on airplane mode and then off? It usually resets all the connections.

You are not crazy. I thought I was because I have this exact same problem. I use Google Play Music, but when I am stopped (or going under about 5mph) the Bluetooth stutters. Over 5mph and its flawless. I have version 2.2 of the Sync 3 software. I am using the LG V20 and that is the only device I have tried.
Have you been able to find a solution? This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.

I just purchased the V20 on Friday and I've had this streaming issue every time I get into my car! I have a 2017 MKZ and it's only in the car. I have an LG bluetooth headset that it doesn't skip with. I paired my husband's Beats and it doesn't skip there either--ONLY in the car. I just read about someone having issues at a lower speed--I haven't been on the freeway yet, so I cannot attest to low speeds, but it's interesting. I'm a computer geek and I'm stumped! I paired it to a Sony soundbar in Best Buy today and it didn't skip AT ALL! Grrrrr!

I discovered it was something to do with the QNX WiFi used on Ford/Lincoln Sync 3 and UConnect in some Jeeps and such.... try turning the WiFi off in the settings menu and see if you still have the issue.

I have a 2017 MKZ and an LG V20 with the SAME music streaming issue! I use Google Music and it's done the same thing with streaming music or from MP3s on the SD card. It's only in the car, not on my two Bluetooth headsets nor a soundbar I paired to in a Best Buy today. How frustrating!!! I was running errands in Houston, close to the house, so no chance for a freeway trip yet to see if it mirrors your 20mph issue. Please reply to this forum if you end up finding a fix!
I've removed numerous apps, I've disabled sleep mode on all things Bluetooth as well as downgraded Google Music too. Uggghhh!

You were right! It didn't skip once when the wifi was off! Thank you so very much! :good:
:laugh::fingers-crossed::cyclops:
It's not necessarily the phone or car, Spotify has some terrible programmers. In Oct there was a bug that stopped Bluetooth buttons from working and it took 3 releases to fix it.

I also have the att version of LG V20. Skipping does not seem to be related to my speed or anything else. I drive an Audi A4. I have this problem with both Spotify and Youtube, but not with my phone calls. So annoying!
Stuttering on Bluedio T3 Turbine Headphones
I already tried all the possible solutions from the internet. Below is the summary:
Safe Mode - still stutter
Battery Optimization OFF for Bluetooth and Music App - still stutter
Wifi OFF - still stutter
Clear data of Bluetooth and T3 Headphones - still stutter
All other bluetooth earphone or speaker - no stutter
This is weird, since the Bluedio T3 I had works fine from my old HTC 10 phone. I switched to V20 since I had charging issues with my HTC 10.
I chose V20 since it has lots of PROS and I'm a music lover.
Please help.. thanks.

Gear fit 2 Causing Bluetooth audio distortion

Does anyone have this issue when you connect to a smart watch, the Bluetooth Audio device will start to have audio problem and fine without the 2nd Bluetooth device paired
Thanks in advance
I'm having BT audio skipping/stuttering issues with my v20 and my 2016 Mustangs Ford Sync. I also use a moto 360 watch. Wonder if having 2 devices is causing the issue? didn't have any BT problems with my s7 Edge.
edit:
not the moto360 causing issues for me, same problems even without the watch on. Maybe it's the app I'm using not ready for Nougat (DI.FM). Going to try .pls files in VLC player to see if that works better.
Yeah , I didn't have this issue with my Note 7. Hopefully someone have a fix

I have not experienced any issues and I do have great fit 2. I sync to my car and two different sets of headphones without issue.
I have a rooted h918 with gear fit 2 and sometimes my jabra revo bt or my Ford sync no issues

Gear S3 connected = horrible bluetooth audio streaming to other devices!

As the title says - when I have my Gear S3 (was also an issue with Gear S2) connected to the phone, the audio quality to other devices becomes total crap with distortions and crackling.
The only headsets that keeps the quality are the ones supporting AptX.
I had an OnePlus 3 with the Gear connected before, and this was never a problem! I don't care if it drains extra battery if there is something that can be done... like forcing higher streaming bitrate or whatever, my device is rooted, I'm up for suggestions. (Tried ViperFX, didn't make it better.)
Anyone else have experience with this? I can't understand how this slipped through, someone over at Samsung must have noticed their bluetooth audio is **** when their Gear is connected simultaneously.
Non rooted S7 Edge G935F + Gear S3 here, no problems with Bluetooth audio quality
I have the same problem with my S8.
It's making me crazy!
daymnnn YES same problem with my s7 edge ( rooted , running MM + xposed)
I had the same problem with my s8 and gear s3. I complained to Samsung but no one solved my problem. My solution was returning them and buying an iphone 7 and an apple watch. Problem solved.

Bluetooth Bottleneck?

Hi there.
I've been getting very confused lately because my Bluetooth headphones have sounded really really really bad on Samsung (sounds heavily compressed with compression artifacts), yet on iPhone they worked perfectly.
Now I've narrowed it down that the sound is nasty only when my phone is connected to my Android Wear watch (Sony Smart watch 3), putting the watch on airplane mode or turning it off, then restarting my Beats headphones makes them work pretty much fine (quality wise).
I must add that the headphones work fine on my iPhone 6 WHILE also connected to the Android Wear watch.
Any known issues or work around?
Many thanks
