I drive a 2013 Hyundai Sonata (Dimensions Bluetooth Audio system), and I am also trying to connect a Canz 808 Bluetooth Wireless speaker to my LG G2. When I initially pair my phone, everything connects fine. On both my car and the wireless speaker, the media audio does not connect properly after turning off the car or the wireless speaker and leaving the Bluetooth on the LG G2 on, and then either getting back and turning on the car or turning on the wireless speaker. The media audio does not connect properly (no sound) even though the phone shows it's connected. I have to turn off my phone's Bluetooth and then back on for things to connect properly. I found an app called Xperia Z1 Bluetooth media fix on the Google Play Store that seems to fix this problem. I did a factory data reset on my phone and I still have the same problems unless I use the app I mentioned, or I turn off my phone's Bluetooth and then turn it on once the devices I mentioned are already on. It seems when the devices try to connect to the phone, instead of the phone trying to connect to the particular device first, the media audio connection gets messed up. My Nexus 7 tablet, which is also on 4.4.2, connects perfectly each and every time so this seems to be a problem with the LG G2 specifically. Anyone with any ideas why this is happening?

Guys I went to the T-Mobile store today and I brought my Canz 808 wireless speaker with me. I tested it with another LG G2 at the store, and I was surprised when it didn't have any problems whatsoever. It seems my handset has a Bluetooth hardware problem. I already tried a factory data reset, and today I even downgraded to the stock 4.2.2 to see if that would fix it. No luck. They ordered me a replacement handset. It's on backorder so I'm not sure when I'll receive it. I'll test further once I receive the replacement.

After further testing things out with the replacement handset, it seems the replacement handset has the same exact problems. This appears to be a software issue then. I wasn't able to test things out properly with the demo unit at the T-Mobile store since I only tried it a couple of times. I would highly recommend anyone having media audio Bluetooth problems to try the Xperia Z1 Bluetooth media fix app on the Play Store since this little app has solved all my Bluetooth connection problems!

I too have a problem with this speaker (canz 808) though I believe the problem is with the speaker bluetooth, I cant get it to work on my samsung galaxy or my lgg2.. also the speaker no longer makes the initialization sound that it used to make when you turn it on.. I bought this thing less than one month ago.
works with the audio cable.
Is my car stereo or is it the phone.
It keeps dropping calls when I am talking on the phone - eg it losses Bluetooth connection to the car stereo.
I suspect the phone because I have an LG urbane watch which I have set up as a unlock the phone if in range device and at odd time I need to put my pin in
Any one else have the problem
128gb Chinese version
Apart from this issue the phone is amazing - 2 days battery life plus!

I think there is a problem with the bluetooth also, i also try to use it with a LG Urbane and i always get notifications with delay up to 5 minutes, just like the phone stops comunicating with the watch..
Have VW Discover Pro Radio in my car and it works with the Mate 8 L29-B152. Unlocking if connected, calls and music is working without losing the connection.
Hey guys.
I'm struggling with this problem since I got my NO.1 S2 smartwatch and I can't find any solution.
The watch allows you to control music through bluetooth but it forces you to listen to music through the watch's speaker.
I am looking for a way which I can control my phone music while playing it through my phone original speaker instead the watch's.
For phone calls I can control the output source from my phone but I can't find a way to keep the watch only as a controller for my phone.
It doesn't really matters but I'm using LG G3 D855 with Fulmics ROM ver 6.0. And the watch is updated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
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:

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.
I just upgraded my (canadian) G6 to Oreo and did a factory reset (which did not solve my problem).
every time I have a bluetooth device connected there is a persistent notification that lets me choose where the audio is going ("select the device for media audio")
I find this annoying and want to disable it but when I go in the settings for bluetooth notifications, I can't turn this off, the setting slider is greyed out/disabled.
Is there any way to get rid of this damn thing? When I connect my bluetooth headphones it's because I want to listen to my damn bluetooth headphones, I don't need a constant reminder that I'm wearing them. If I want to stop listening to my bluetooth headphones I just turn them off.
Ouh yes. Very annoying. Same question here ...

I used an app called NCleaner on Google Play. Seems to have done the trick for me. Using a factory unlocked American LG G6 (US-997) in Canada (cause it was CAD $300 cheaper to import even after currency and import fees).
Hold on notification for a few seconds. My problem is since the oreo update my phone connects to pioneer deh6800 bt fine for calls but media cannot play unless i make a phonecall first.. Or re-pair. LG is playing dumb :[ they say i have too many devices paired to stereo or i didnt follow pairing instructions. i have factory reset the phone and stereo. Too bad because i liked the G6.
The only time I pair it for media is when I am in the car. It auto pairs with the car system and is usually in my pocket so I don't notice it unless Play Music doesn't auto start when I turn on the stereo and I have to dig it out of my pocket to start the app. The app auto starts more frequently since Oreo so to me it is a wash.
Did you figure out how to get rid of it yet?
I just downloaded oreo for the lg g5 today and its doing the same thing
I did figure out you can swipe the notification right and then pick let it sleep
for up to 2 hours. But sucks to have to do this each time.
Anyone got a fix for this yet

Same question here, as OP but also have a bluetooth system notification problem when using it with a pioneer car stereo too.
My Lg g6 bluetooth audio takes over my pioneer for ANY notification. Even if I've got notifications turned to silent/no notification.
So when I get an email notification, the phone forces my reciever to leave its current listening source(radio or CD) and then forces it to switch to bluetooth and play the notification(even if there's no audio it switches).
Luckily i just bought this g6 and can return it.
