Got the mini last week and am generally loving it
However, a couple of niggles. When I'm driving to work I have the mini playing music via a bluetooth audio device (that transmits FM to the car radio) and when I get to work I listen to same audio through a JayBird stereo bluetooth headset.
My previous two phones (both htc and windows mobiles) have coped admirably with this. However, with the mini, when I get to work, connect the JayBird and then start playing music the audio profile disconnects. I then have to keep reconnecting and eventually it seems to work but is a bit laborious. There doesn't seem to be a repeatable process to guarantee it working.
Not sure if it is possible to revert to the standard Windows Mobile bluetooth management - like I said things seemed to work with previous phones/custom roms etc.
The other thing is that the htc audio manager's shuffle doesn't seem quite so random as media player's! If I've got multiple songs with the same title it tends to play them all together... weird!
unfortunately when i connect bluetooth to my car radio the music skips about every 15 sec. very annoying. Anyone else having the problem.
I have an iphone 3gs that doesnt skip and works great. I love the Evo but bugs are continually showing up.
Its your internet. Try updating your prl.
i did update the prl before i tried it.
still does it.
I have a bluetooth reciever for my AVR and I noticed some skipping as well. Not as frequent as you are saying but if I moved more than 10' away it would be rather bad. The Bluetooth range seems to be poor. In a car I can't imagine you having a problem. I have heard of some issues with factory bluetooth.
I had same problem till I decided to turn off my wifi.. and it started working fine.. it just doesn't have to do with Pandora, its will any Music that you stream over Bluetooth..
Just turn off your wifi and it will work fine.
Thanks
Or just place your phone somewhere else in your car. Bluetooth has very lousy range (isn't it like 10 feet in perfect conditions?), and as such moving it a foot or two somewhere else could make a world of difference.
Its definitely not the internet. I could be at home in wifi with phenominal internet it even laying it off of my SD card. If im in a vehicle or on a bus, its pretty solid and works really well. I walk out the bus and walk around either to m next bus or to work and it fails to play for more than 4 seconds without skipping. And its not like a short, nuisance of a skip. It often stays skipped for up to 3 seconds at a time. Completely unusable. Happens however i connect my phone to any a2dp device. Tried tweaking the /etc/Bluetooth/audio.conference file as suggested in a couple nexus one/s sites, but unfortunately seems to be specific to those phones. This is making me hate this phone. Every other phone I've had in the past two years does this just fine. Whyis it having such a hard time with such a simple task that others have done perfectly? Even other Roms work better but i like also better than sense anyday. Maybe its a kernel issue?. I really want this fixed. But it seems like no one is even trying to work towards a solution. Not on the surface anyway.
Did you try turning off your wifi and any other unneeded services? The only time I have had skipping over bluetooth is when I have my wifi on as well, other than that it streams smoothly through my car stero and computer over bluetooth.

This.
If that doesn't help, then if possible, you should use an aux in cable to prove it's only a bluetooth issue. If it still skips, I'd try a new rom and/or kernel. A2DP performance seems much improved in CM7 compared to Sense roms.. or at least it seems better to me.
I've had the same skipping problem with my bluetooth earphones and evo. The only slight solution that I've had was holding the phone in direct line of site with the bluetooth earphones. When I do that, it doesn't skip as much.
Streaming bluetooth audio to car stereo
Thanks Anku13, your fix works. Just installed a Clarion CZ501 bluetooth receiver in my car, experienced skipping audio every 15 - 30 seconds once my Leo connected/streaming. Killing WiFi was the trick. Love not having an AUX cable lying around in the cabin.
Hello all,
I've noticed that since the 2.3 update, I get a lot of stutter when playing music over Bluetooth A2DP. This is the same issue that is reported here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15189
Anyone else found the same? Any thoughts?
Not sure if this is related, but I have the Droid 2 with 2.2. Most of my mp3's played great via bluetooth (on the Motorola headset (S9-HD)), however, there was always a few that would stutter consistently. After trying nearly every suggestion out there, I found that when I unchecked the ENHANCED STEREO option under the bluetooth settings, the stuttering stoppped. Unfortunately I did lose some sound quality.
Ive always had this problems with bluetooth A2DP, iphone and DHD, never been able to fix it either.
Playing through my Kenwood BT head unit.
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.
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.

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
