Gear S3 connected = horrible bluetooth audio streaming to other devices! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

As the title says - when I have my Gear S3 (was also an issue with Gear S2) connected to the phone, the audio quality to other devices becomes total crap with distortions and crackling.
The only headsets that keeps the quality are the ones supporting AptX.
I had an OnePlus 3 with the Gear connected before, and this was never a problem! I don't care if it drains extra battery if there is something that can be done... like forcing higher streaming bitrate or whatever, my device is rooted, I'm up for suggestions. (Tried ViperFX, didn't make it better.)
Anyone else have experience with this? I can't understand how this slipped through, someone over at Samsung must have noticed their bluetooth audio is **** when their Gear is connected simultaneously.

Non rooted S7 Edge G935F + Gear S3 here, no problems with Bluetooth audio quality

I have the same problem with my S8.
It's making me crazy!

daymnnn YES same problem with my s7 edge ( rooted , running MM + xposed)

I had the same problem with my s8 and gear s3. I complained to Samsung but no one solved my problem. My solution was returning them and buying an iphone 7 and an apple watch. Problem solved.

Bad Bluetooth Audio Quality

So I love my note thus far except for one problem. It would appear like the galaxy s and galaxy s2 it suffers from bad bluetooth audio quality. While it doesn't sound bad when paired with my headphones, it's horrible when paired with my car stereo. My phone is my main source of music in my car so this is a pretty big problem for me. Poking around in the GS2 forum it seems the problem only really gets resolved when they install a custom rom that is not based on the stock samsung, like cyanogen because it uses its own bluetooth stack instead of the sammy one. So basically wondering if anyone else has a problem, if any dev's have plans to tweak anything in custom roms for this problem... or if they can, or if anyone has any other ideas.
The same problem. Music over bluetooth sound terrible.

Bluetooth Car Quality

Anyone else having horrible quality (static, brief silences) when connected to Bluetooth? Also it seems like if the screen is off and the song switches, the data doesn't get transmitted. I've tried several music apps and all the same so I'm assuming it's a firmware issue. Rebooting the phone, unpairing, adjusting equalizer for sound quality. Nothing.

No problem here, no disruptions, or Bluetooth range problems unlike note 2 that I had before. In the action memo, do you have a pin symbol, to pin memos to desktop? I saw it in numerous reviews but it is absent on my n910c
My Bluetooth keeps unpairing after I pair it. When I get back in car it says pairing failed.

No problems or quality issues with car bluetooth here.
Yes, I have exactly the same issue. SM-910U, no root, Spark NZ version with pretty much everything default.
I can't get a reliable Bluetooth A2DP connection to my car stereo (and it worked perfectly with my S4)... It will work mostly, but experiences lots of dropouts. Range isn't an issue - it happens even when being held 10cm away from the head unit. It also happens in or out of the case, and either being charged or on battery.

(Q) Note 4 Bluetooth skips and cuts out

Before I upgraded, I had a Motorola RAZR Maxx HD that had a well known problem with the Bluetooth cutting out during music playback whether it was streamed or local. One of the key reasons I upgraded, other then I love the whole note series.. the note 4 has the same issue except it's a bit worse. With the RAZR Maxx HD I could at least use player pro and get around most cut outs. With the note 4 nothing helps. I have 3 different Bluetooth devices: LG Tone, Motorola s305, and Kenwood built car Bluetooth. All exhibit the same symptoms. I use all these devices on my 10.1 2014 and not one skip or cut outs. My note 4 is not rooted and completely stock (I want to keep it that way until we get a couple of updates..)
Any ideas or thoughts? Or is this an annoying thing that an update will fix? Appreciate any help.

I also am experiencing a similar issue, not much of music cutting out, but hearing "pops" and "clicks" every few seconds. So I have the following devices:
Phones:
- Note 4
- Tab S 8.4 (Tablet)
- Xperia Compact Z3
Bluetooth Headphones:
- LG HBS-800 (Black)
- LG HBS-800 (White)
- LG HBS-700
- Sennheiser MM 550-X
- Creative T6 Series II (Desktop PC Speakers that has Bluetooth)
I have tested different combinations and I will only get "pops" and "clicks" when I use Note 4 + either the Black or White LG HBS-800.
If I use the Sennheiser MM 550-X and the older LG HBS-700 on the Note 4, I do not get these issues
If I pair any of the Bluetooth stereo (including both the LG HBS-800s) with other devices, none exhibit any "pops" or "clicks".
My Note 4 is in stock, non-rooted, up to date state.
I have of course unpaired then re-paired them.
I used the stock player and Walkman player (I installed the Walkman APK to my Note 4 cause I like the interface).
"Pops" and "clicks" also present when watching videos.
No issue when playing over wired headphones or rear speaker.
So yeah, does anyone have any suggestion with this issue? I'm about to just start using wired headphones.
Same issue here. So, what android version have you had the issue on? I cannot remember having any problem before 5.0.1.
I have a Sony BM-10 sound bridge (apt-x), which works flawlessly with my xperia tab z3 compact, but has this issues with Note 4.
Only playback source I have tried is Google Play Music, and I have same issue on wired headphones as well. Need to test more.
Its an issue with Lollipop
Googled about it and found a workaround by installing PowerAmp and increase buffer

[50$ reward] Bluetooth Audio problem / distorted / crackling mids/highs

Hey everyone,
I recently opened a thread describing a problem between my S7 Edge and my Bluetooth audio car adapter.
I have this car adapter:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00DU...oth+anycar&dpPl=1&dpID=51qDDyHDFQL&ref=plSrch
The problem:
When listening to music in my car via bluetooth the high tones start to crackle and distort even when I set the volume very low (car + phone)
The connection via AUX works fine though.
I already tried an iPhone, a Lumia and a One Plus One via bluetooth as well. Every phone sounds crystal clear except the S7 Edge.
It doesn't seem to be related to the output sound file, as the problem exists with mp3 files as well as when I'm listening to music on Spotify.
I'm considering switching my phone cause of this issue, so I'm willing to pay 50$ to someone who is able to fix my problem! (without rooting my phone)
I have an Exynos S7 running the latest DBT firmware and I'm not using any other bluetooth devices.
