Paired my phone with my level on Bluetooth headphones and the audio is very choppy. Didn't experience this on my note 5.
Any ideas? Will try repairing it and see if that helps.

BT audio works great for me.
Useless comment, really, I know.
I have three devices I've used it with (LG HBS-730 headset, MPOW receiver for wired headphones, and the head-unit in my car - VW RCD 310 in my '13 Golf).
Have you tried your phone with other BT audio?
Seems to be working better now.

Works better than nexus 6p with same BT devices. Only had it drop once vs daily on nexus (main reason I sold it). All BT devices can have a little different stack and that includes phones. Unfortunately, BT is hit and miss. Unpair device and boot into recovery and wiping cache. Sometimes that helps.
I have a pair of Samsung level u pro Bluetooth headset paired to my S7E that i bought on friday which when i paired them to the phone they worked fine all day Friday. Now all of a sudden if a contact calls with a custom ringtone the phone plays the ringtone obviously but the headset does not it plays some generic tone at the same time. Any ideas?

i am getting choppy audio as well did you find a fix with my levels
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.
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
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.

I have Jabra 65t as well and they work great. It's the vehicle Bluetooth in the Nissan that has been really sketchy I guess. I'll look into that as needing to be addressed then.
The other odd part is that even after I hit speakerphone, the phone tries to revert to Bluetooth.

No issues for me. Phone stays connected to my Fitbit no issue, and streaming music in the car and over earbuds works great for me.
No problems also for me
I have no problem connecting, bluetooth works properly. But I think that the bluetooth is switching on late as if it was turning on faster before, I made a clean installation.
i had a clean install, i did clear cache for the bluetooth system app and decided to just move on and have since installed lineage. bluetooth works like a champ with lineage now.
