This had worked for me for the last hour and change not one pop or skip since I did this. I hope this helps a Dev or even Google to figure out the issue with scanning and the popping but till then.. Enjoy your music without the annoying popping.
Nexus 6P Bluetooth skipping/popping fix
OK so this isn't a fix but it is a work around until they fix the issues and this is only for the skipping issue people are experiencing on playback thru bluetooth. I had disabled Bluetooth scanning on my phone and it wasn't so bad but still noticeable. I just went and disabled WiFi scanning too and I haven't had a skip happen in about an hour now. So this is definietly a scanning issue.
Go to settings
Google
Location
Hit the 3 dots to right
Scanning
And indirect both boxes
It won't forget your Bluetooth devices or WiFi
Again this is not a true fix but a way to stop the skipping issue for the time being. For some people this may be the only fix they need to be able to enjoy their nexus 6p again
Now I am at work and not near WiFi connection point so I can't say if this will still skip one you turn WiFi on and connect but I don't believe it will since it's connected and not actually scanning.
I expect nothing from this but if this truely helped you... donations are always welcome on PayPal hahaha. [email protected]
I've had it off, both options. Bluetooth skips if I'm outside and the phone is in my pocket. I'm guessing at this point its my headset itself and its placement of the BT radio on it. Being the LG Tone Platinum, it's radio is located on my left neck by the dual mics.

Damn maybe I'm just lucky then. Just drive 20 minutes home and not one single skip or pop thru the Bluetooth in my 2013 mustang with ford sync
And my job is outside and inside constantly... Delivery driver haha. No issues in or out, in pocket, in elevator, etc etc etc

I use bt outside with headphones & noticed this too but found if i turn it face out in my pocket (away from my body) the skipping stops. Must be a sensor or something getting blocked.

I constantly have my phone glass facing away from my leg. I learned years ago that if I start sweating enough the pockets of my work shorts are thin enough that it's start pocket dialing people haha.
And a new issue came up for me today. I still don't get the skipping stutter every minute.. That hasn't come back at all. But this morning it started happening that anytime the screen came on from me, phone call or text I get about 5 second of skipping/ stuttering in the music then it's fine. Uninstalled the only app I installed last night with no luck. Went into recovery and cleared data and it fixed it for all of 5 minutes haha. Hope Google is working on the bugs with this phone.. Starting to think I would have gone with the lg v10 instead

Having a problem and can't track it down.
Apparently no one else os having this same issue!?
My bluetooth stereo headsets pauses for 1 second every 15 seconds.
I first thought it was only to my Motorola T505 but it now happens on my Motorola HT820s.
It's intermittent, it didn't happen the first few times I used the HT820s. i've gone two days using the T505 without any pauses.
It happens plugged in or on battery power, both headsets are fully charged, I've repaired them both a number of times, I've even reset the phone.
The HT820s are old tech, the T505 has worked pretty much flawless with every other phone I've paired it with.
I'm at a total loss.

Thanks. I'll try that as soon as I can repeat the problem. As of right now it's NOT pausing again.
I can't remember offhand is I played with any Wi-Fi settings the two days it didn't pause.
Sounds promising.
Need to check some more. Earlier today I fired up Pandora and it was skipping turned off Wi-Fi and it instantly stopped.
At home again it's not pausing with Wi-Fi on, Next time out I'll try to see if turning off the Wi-Fi notifications will stop the pausing.
-edit: This morning I left the house with Wi-Fi on, music did NOT pause, I then turned on notifications and it started skipping, At that point the only "fix" was to turn off Wi-Fi altogether, simply turning notifications back off did nothing.
Ok so I'm trying to trace down what might be happening here.
Ive got a LG Tone Pro 750 BT headset which I totally love for the most part (epic battery time for one thing). Bought it about a month ago.
About a week ago, maybe two, something weird starts happening. I'll get a call, pick it up and no sound. Caller may or may not hear me, but if they do, it appears to be garbled (I've done a poor job of asking callers if they could hear me and inquiring about that part of the experience so not very good feedback there).
Since I'd had the BT headset for a couple weeks already, I don't even consider there could be a problemo there. So I take the SG4 to Sprint and have a tech check it out.
He comes out to see me (never happens).
Asks me if I have the LG Tone Pro headset. He then proceeds to tell me that he has the same problem on his LG (!) phone with that headset (although it's a later model than my Tone Pro 750...next one up from that model).
He says that the only way he has been able to fix it is by unpairing and re-pairing the headset. Says he has to do it every other day or so.
That was early last week.
So for the next day or two, I go without the headset being re-paired. All is well with the three or four calls I get.
I pair the headset but don't get any calls. I do listen to some podcasts and that is fine (but was never a problem so no change there).
The next day (this morning) I get a call. Problem is back. I try turning off BT making calls and that doesn't fix it. Have to restart the phone.
So I do and I can now make and receive calls. However, BT is off.
It sure looks like this is a problem with the headset.
But I also noticed a preponderance of SG4 owners complaining about a somewhat similar issue where the mic would suddenly turn off on their phone, mid call. Seems WIFI signals would somehow interfere with it (I tried turning off WIFI though and that didn't fix it).
Is there anything else I can do to diagnose this better and maybe get to the bottom of it?
What could be happening here? Is this the headset not playing well with the OS? Is there a way to tell?
Why would this start happening off a sudden two weeks after I'd been using it heavily with no problems?
Also, I'm trying to find more instances of this issue online but it's tough one to Google.
(As a side note, LG doesn't seem to be a very good company when it comes to customer service. I saw several instances on Android Central where their customers reported issues with the headset and then were told their posting violated the TOS of the forum. WTF is up with that? Have they not realized there is ths thing called the Internet? Do they think people won't eventually catch on? )
I'm seriously considering returning this thing, but the truth is, I really want to keep it if I can get it to work. Probably a pipe dream though, now that I've written all this out. lol
I'm even considering rooting my SG4 and throwing another ROM on to see if that fixes it. That's how much I like the headset.
Happy to receive any feedback from fellow forum members. Thanks in advance.
PS: Just realized I haven't really tried just unpairing and re-pairing more than once so I'm going to test that some more over next few days meanwhile...
I am having the same problem but with different headset (MOW and Jabra).
One thing that I tied worked but I can only use my headset to listen to music. In each headset setting located in the Bluetooth pairing list, I uncheck the CALL AUDIO and leave the MEDIA AUDIO check. This allows me to use my headset for music but not calls.
A complete fix would be great, please?

Glad you posted this because I hadn't even thought to try, as part of my troubleshooting, whether I could still play media on the phone through the headset when call audio was not coming through.
Last night I made a couple of calls just fine with my LG Tone Ultra (upgraded to see if this fixed the problem, but no change) and then made a third one. On this third one I could not hear any sound but the call connected (it was to my wife--she later told me she got a call but no sound on her end either).
So this is very strange. Somehow the BT headset is just dropping the call side of the audio.
And, it's doing so randomly.
Sure would like some more insight on what is likely the cause of this situation. I submitted a question to LG through their website but no response. That was days ago.
Chapter 2 of this problem

Just posted a new thread on this issue with some log data that I'm hoping a kindly dev may help decipher.
Letting you know in case you want to keep an eye on that thread as well.
I have had this issue for quite a while now and it is getting really annoying. When using the external speaker (watching Youtube, Twitch, games, etc) it will fade out and back in frequently. Lately it seems more often than not it will be silent. This only happens with external speaker and does not happen with headphones or bluetooth. I don't think it is a hardware issue because the audio seems to fade out and back in rather than cutting out. Also I can usually press the Overview button and switch between apps a few times and it comes back. Also I have never experienced it while using speakerphone on a call.
Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas on what it could be? I don't think Logcat will work without root or I would dig into the logs.

Omg I've got exactly the same issue, finally someone talk about it !
Since nobody has any ideas, what apps do you have installed @Kev Lav? Maybe we can narrow it down to a common app or something. I really don't think it is an app though because as I mentioned it only happens when audio is on the external speakers. Sometimes days go by and the issue doesn't happen, sometimes it happens constantly for a day or 2. Pretty annoying.
Yeah I don't think that it comes from an app, but yeah it's so annoying, maybe I'll reset my phone but I'm too lazy to back up all my files actually haha.
yooooooooo ive had the same problem any fixes?
Hey guys ! I think that I found a fix, last night, I was partying in a hot tub and I was with my phone, I took several videos underwater and now my external speaker works great again ! You should try to put your phone underwater for 2 minutes !

Uhhh, I think I will pass on that. Thanks though. I have it go for weeks sometimes without the issue happening. Then it will go through phases where it happens a few times a day. Sometimes a reboot will get it back to a state where it happens infrequently. So that is my go to for now. Still extremely annoying. I wish Catlog or something like that would work on this phone so that I could look at the internal logs to see what is going on when it happens. Does anyone know if there is anyway to look at system logs?
Hi all,
I seem to be facing lots of separate and regular issues with BT and wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone else is experiencing similar.
1. Connection seems really weak - when I'm connected to a speaker, if I walk between it and my phone the music can cut out temporarily or become distorted. Never had this issue with other phones, using the same BT speakers.
2. If i go into BT settings, the BT switch sometimes flicks on and off itself maybe 3-4 times, without me touching anything. Very annoying especial if it's after I've just connected!
Anyone else seen anything like this? I've tried disabling smart power in case this affects it. I've disabled my BT macros in Macrodroid in case this is interfering, doesn't seem to be tho.
Best, Neil
To be honest sounds like bad phone. This is best BT I've had, and I've been using Samsung since g2.
I stay connected with leaving my phone upstairs front of house and I can go downstairs out my backdoor before it drops. (2200sqft house). Have more issue with wifi then Bluetooth
Thanks for the reply - I expect you're right. It's far from unusable but after stellar BT strength from my LG G3 previously it makes me a bit nervous.
Hmm, to send back or not send back...
My suggestion would be to exchange it.
Factory reset, then test. Without doing that first there is no reason to try anything else.
Whenever I connect to one of my Bluetooth devices it shows that it's "Connected to xxxxx" in the secondary screen.
However, after I disconnect from the Bluetooth device it still says its connected in the secondary screen and the secondary screen just hangs there frozen saying its connected. I can only get rid of it by restarting the device.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm experiencing this issue. I think it started happening after applying the latest update.
to fix it w/o restarting the device, you can go to settings - display - second screen and turn off 'show when main screen on' and back on.
I have this and all kinds of BT issues with my car.
Bluetooth has given me a lot of problems. Secondary screen stuck displaying the "connected" message, Bluetooth crashing, and high CPU usage when not connected. I've had better experience by toggling Bluetooth off and on with Tasker after disconnecting from my car. Figure it gives it a kick causing it to play nice.

So it's not just me having bluetooth issues lately. I was getting ready to drop by AT&T because of all the problems it''s been giving me lately connecting to things on bluetooth...
Mine has recently started doing the same thing with second screen stuck on connected to vehicle Bluetooth. I do remember updating recently so I am unsure what cause this issue. I am using stock with ATT

I tried this trick and it only works temporarily. After an hour or so the same connection message will appear even though I'm not connected. So annoying. Come on LG! I like their devices but there is always some annoying issues with their phones.
Are you guys also experiencing general notification issues?
Example, I click on a Twitter or Kijiji notification and the app won't open or I can't respond within the notification shade any more.
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72734315&postcount=10
I'm wondering if this is the cause of everyone else's bluetooth/notification issues. Worth a shot.
Ever since I upgraded to 10K from 10J on T-Mobile it has started doing this. Once I am connected I never have a problem with Bluetooth but connecting has been inconsistent ever since upgrading. My car stereo for example used to connect automatically now to get it to reconnect I have to turn off the stereo and the Bluetooth radio on my phone and then both back on @ same time otherwise I have to manually connect through the phone BT menu
Been having issues with bluetooth too. I've gotten into the habit of just turning it off after I get out of the car, then turning it on right before I get back in the car. If I leave it on all the time it fails to connect about half the time I turn on the car, if not more. Strangely I don't have the same issue with my Anker speakers, so I sort of assumed the car was the problem, but it seems not from these comments

This seems to have fixed it for me! I had the same issue after updating my phone to the latest build.

Same exact issue. It only seems to happen to my car stereo since I upgraded to 10K. But my other speakers and headsets 99% of the time it will connect by itself.
Same issue here. Super annoying. Appears to have shown up around the same time that all my notifications stopped working.
I've been having the same issue. I use Car Home Ultra, and noticed that it was very delayed starting, and would start randomly even after leaving my car/disconnecting bluetooth. I thought it was a problem with that app, but now it appears it's that the phone is delayed in notifying of bluetooth connect/disconnect.
I constantly have the "connected" notification taking up the second screen until I reboot.
I am experiencing this aswell, and , when connecting to my SYNC 3 in my Ford Focus, it says connected, but it isn't. If someone rings me, the hand set rings.
It seems to be the initial handshake, if the phone's bluetooth is off when i turn car on, then i turn blutooth on and select "sync 3" it's all good, but if bluetooth is already on , and i switch car on , i get the message on the radio it's connected to my phone... but i cant access contacts or messages ( even though they are ticked in bluetooth menu )...
lucky for the 2 year warranty...
Disabling the Google app has fixed this issue and fixed my push notifications. Not ideal but doesn't appear any other answer exists.
Anybody have any updates on this issue? I have been having the connected message showing more frequently to my vehicles. I have been turning off second display and back on to remove. Thanks for the suggestion Adam about disabling Google app but like you said it is not ideal.
So on Verizon they just pushed a system update. Post update, I enabled Google app, and everything appears to be working great thus far.
I don't remember when but the issue just kind of went away without any action on my part. Maybe it was an update?
