Hello,
I recently bought bluetooth headphones and they're great, but.. My HTC Magic (32A) seems to have some problems with it. The music plays, but playback is not contiuous - I get gaps of silence during playback. And it's not skippy sound - the music plays normally it just doesn't get transferred over BT for some reason. I get 1 or 2 second gaps every minute or so (not a regular pattern). Sometimes (very rarely though) I don't have this issue. It's extremely annoying
I'm running cyanogen mod (latest version, previous versions had the same issues). Original ROM was even worse. This happens right after reboot with clean memory and stuff, so it's not that something is taking all CPU in the background.
It's so bad it takes away all pleasure from listening to music
Anyone has similar issues?
For mine I've noticed that has happened when a limb goes between the phone and my headset.
Also the problem is compounded as either the headset battery or phone's battery is low.
I think it's just the nature of Bluetooth. Some areas at and around school have a lot of interference. There is specific street corner where the music sometimes gets choppy.
The thing is this is not an issue on my provious phone (a regular samsung dumbphone). And it's better or worse depending on a ROM, so I guess it can be fixed with software. Can't wait to see 32a eclair port.. maybe they gave bluetooth some love, too.
I have the same problem with cm 5.0.8 on MyTouch 3g 1.0 and my s9 HDs it's so sad
I have had no issues until last night. I lost audio output when connected to aux in on CPU speaker system, have been doing that for 5 weeks with no issues. Tried headphones and phone speaker, nothing. Pulled battery and worked for a few minutes, died again. Pulled battery once again and seems to be working as normal for the remainder of my podcast. Anyone else have this happen, or any advice?
I lost audio during calls, could only use speaker phone. Had to have a replacement sent.
Poor Audio over Bluetooth, Poor overall BT reception.
I thought it was my device and sent it back to google, they sent me a replacement and it has the same issue, if im streaming music to any device (Headphones, Speaker, Car Stereo) and cover the top of my phone its like im almost going out of range and the audio goes choppy or off, remove my hand and the audio returns to normal. Google said they have never heard of this issue before and are convinced a third device will solve the issue, i doubt it unless they have a revision 2 model.
Its not just audio, i have a watch that gets notification on the go, same thing, if the top gets covered my watch often says disconnected, take the phone out and within 20 seconds it reconnects.
Clearly there is an issue with BT on this phone, no software update (inc. N preview) addresses it, google seems unaware or uninterested in the problem, i would have addressed it a long time ago but i have been holding out for a fix before i realised how easy it is to replicate the problem.
I also have issue with it. I pair my headphones Phillips Tapster and all I hear is non-stop choppy sound(every few seconds a spike). In the beginning I thought my headphones were giving problems, but it is not the case, becase I have a few other Androids and all work fine. So it is the 6P.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a solution which I can share. I only can share what won't work in my experience:
- Factory reset(wipe);
- Return to stock if custom ROM is used;
- Changing ROMs;
- Killing all other apps except the one which uses the device currently;
- Switching off other communication services like wi-fi;

I can confirm this.
I get this as well. I can't put the phone in my pocket if I use Bluetooth headphones. I've tried different headphones, both factory M and N preview.
Mines not that bad. It used to stutter every minute or so but I turned off Bluetooth/WiFi scanning and fixed that problem. But now it just decided to start getting all staticy when the screen is turned on. Either by me text or phone calls. Haven't figured out why it's only happening at that time

What happens when you cover the top of your phone with your hands, does the audio start cutting out?

nothing happens at all. no change in sounds, no stuttering in play.
I did another FDR the other day. got everything installed again turned off wifi/bluetooth scanning and wifi itself (since im not at home) and works perfect. no skipping or stuttering at all. even the 5 seconds of stutter is gone when the screen turns on. hopefully it stays this way

I have the same problem on my car sound system (mazda 2 2016). I found a solution. I turn on the N6P bluetooth before turning on the car system (in my car it turns on when I turn on the car at the same time). When I have the N6P's bluetooth on before turning on the car I have a good conection at 100% of the times. When I forget to turn on the N6P's bluetooth before turning on the car I have a bad conection at 50% of the times.
I hope this could work on your sound systems.

I have tried 3 replacement phones and each time I speak with Google they inform me that they are not aware of any BT issue. Bull****! I can't wait to get rid of this phone. I have the same issues you have related to BT.

Thanks but i rarely turn off BT, its always available but i did go and try combinations of having it off or on pre connection and no difference, still my phone acts like the BT signal is too weak if i move around.

Thanks for confirming, im not holding any hope on the 3rd replacement either, I have had a lot of nexus devices over the years and this BT issue is unique and driving me nuts and really making me think twice about the new upcoming replacement in Q4, especially if its made by Huawei. Ive also noticed the chassis has started to buckle near the volume buttons.
well for some unknown reason the stutter when screen comes on came back. worked fine on bluetooth all weekend. then this morning i go to use my LG 850 BT headphones...and bam...stuttering. maybe LG pissed off Hauwei and they decided to cause issues with all LG items hahahaha

Apparently all CM based ROMs has the stutter issue when screen is turned on when streaming, something to do with the AudioFX, im back on AOSP ROM, no issue with screen on but still have issue when covering the top of my phone or putting in my pocket. sux.

Hi. Im having this problem when Im listening to music with headset connected to the phone and randomly (I don't how to reproduce the bug) it will produce a short beep (1 second) and continue playing with no problems but in the worst case it will produce a long long beep (10-15 seconds) and then all system audio gets muted even though it shows as if it was playing. To fix it I have to restart the phone. This happened with Spotify. I tried doing a factory reset and install Spotify 5.8 only (so that I know that no other app is causing this) and it keeps happening. I also tried many headphones and earphones but they are not the problem, also happened with the phone connected to my car via aux cable. Do you think it is a hardware related problem with my 3.5mm jack or software related?
Even though those short beeps don't mute system audio they make YouTube desync video/audio for some reason so I have to restart the phone to get it working normally.
My device model is XT1644 4GB ram 64GB storage with build no. MPJ24.139-64 and stock Android 6.0.1.
I will try Google Play Music and see if the same happens... though I don't think that Spotify is the problem since I saw noone with this problem on the Spotify forum and I tried many versions of it.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Mostly it would be problem with app.If it happens wth google play music then it would be related to hardware.i had issue with parrel space also they dont work on g4 plus properly.

It has happened with Netflix, YouTube and also Google Play Music. Strange thing is that I left it all night playing (about 8 hours) and when I woke up I checked it and it was all good; then I started YouTube app to see if sync was OK and it was until 3 minutes approx. of watching a video when a short beep occured. After that I tried Netflix and a long beep occured (needed to restart phone). If it is a hardware problem then why it gets fixed with a restart? I find that hard to understand and even though it seems random I think it is being triggered by something on the Android system maybe... Why did the beep occur right after some minutes of using it when I woke up and not before while it was playing all night? Any other ideas to troubleshoot this?
Thank you!

This problem is out of subject.Would be better if you post this in the motorola forums.Just make sure you dont mention you have rooted or modded your phone otherwise they will blame rooting as culprit.
I've used my new s7 edge for about 1 month and I noticed this persisting issue.
During phone calls, I hear an annoying crackling noise. If I turn to the speaker this sounds stops so it only comes from the phone ear speaker. I remember this same issue back in the s4 days which was a speaker hardware problem and people were having their speaker replaced.
Any ideas anyone?
I have The same problem
Me too. But when i put vol down about 80% this annoying sound disappears. it think is a HW problem, propably on full vol, speaker is vibrating. Other day I have the same situation on S4.
Hello,
new s7 edge exynos with the same problem here.
I have the same distortion crackling at maximum volume lvl in every call.
Disappears at lower lvls.
I tried the Low Frq test *#0*#, both 100Hz and 200Hz having this issue,
At 300Hz sounds better with minimun crackling.
Did anyone find any solution to this?
Should I send it for replace or something and try another, or it is waste of time ?
Thanks
It is a nougat issue. Hopefully be fixed soon

I saw many posts in the web having the same issue before nougat update, so maybe it's hardware related ?
Same issue here on my 930L
tested another s7 edge exynos, same issue.
AOA all frnds
same issue facing in my SM-G930L when i installed custom rom destortion feel only voice calls mobile to mobile and on landline its super clear same when stock rom installed sound during calls super clear again....
i tried more thn 3 4 custom roms of nougat all have same issue please resolve if some one cam coz s7 super stock rom is superb
If any of you have ever had your front glass replaced, I ran into this issue as well. I took it back to the company that replaced the glass and they replaced the ear speaker. Now everything sounds great at any volume. The explanation I was given was that in order to replace the glass, they have to heat the phone to soften the adhesive. Sometimes, the heat can damage the speaker coil wiring or short it out.
May not fix EVERYONE, but this is simply MY story.
Thanks!
Solution for cracking ear speaker
Hello Guys,
I had the same issue on my Note 8 and solved it simply by just placing my mouth on the ear speaker and blow and suck (light blow) repeatedly.
Cheers.
