I use some bluetooth in ear headphones for listening music. They work great with a bunch of phones but if I connect them to my a1, the connection seems pretty unstable, if I put the phone in my pocket it cuts out a lot, is that a bug that others could reproduce? Is there any solution?
I can confirm somewhat unstable Bluetooth connection. Audio cuts out when phone is in pocket and facing away from Bluetooth speaker. Connection seems stable to mi band 2 though
I'm connected with my Wear 2 watch and so far the connection is stable
Same here. The sound just shatters sometimes. When I cover the phone in the pocket it cuts off completly. Wonder if this isnt another problem of the harsh xiaomi policy of battery saving...
bluetooth unstable
I can confirm the issue here as well. Bluetooth drops on a regular base with my bmw car kit, sometimes requiring a phone reboot to solve. I'm on the october update & I can't remember having the issue on the september update (for the couple of days that I was on that update);
I surely hope it will be solved as it is very annoying for business use!
Yes i did notice the issue just yesterday when i connected it to my bluetooth headset. I noticed the disturbance first when my index finger covered the top and top right edge of the phone. But when i tried to put the phone in the pocket there was a much longer hiss sound.. I did not have this issue with any other phone and did not test my bluetooth headset before October patch so can't say if i had it in the previous patches. But to me it looks like that it happens when the edge that has the bluetooth hardware is obstructed..
Same problem with link skoda
Bad connection in Peugeot
Just got the phone last week, I've noticed when you stream audio through the car media system it will cut out a few times when you first connect it. It will stay connected eventually, but is very frustrating when you start driving as you don't know if the bluetooth link will drop altogether and that's a big problem if you need to take a call while driving. Not sure if this was an issue before the latest update as the phone updated as soon as I got it (1GB update) but if this is a problem a software fix can't sort out I'll be getting rid of the phone. It's a great phone, but if the bluetooth streaming in the car doesn't work properly it's no good to me.
I have similar problem with my Pioneer car audio. Sometimes is not transferring the voice ... I hear nothing from the speakers. Also the music is not stopping. I hope the bug is software and they will fix that, because it is important for me.
Please, report also in the official app.
I have also the Xiaomi Mi A1 and however I have the last firmware (Build N2G4H.7.10.30) there are similar Bluetooth issues.
The problem is really that the sound is cutting when connecting to a bluetooth sound device.
When I am using the Honor 6X, or iPhone 6s, it is working perfectly. So my bluetooth device (Logitech ConferenceCam Connect) is OK
Investing the problems with the bluetooth connection on the Mi A1, I have noticed several things :
1. When my Wifi (the wifi on my Mi A1) is disabled, the Bluetooth is working fine, whith no cut
2. When my Wifi is connected to a 5Ghz router, the Bluetooth also is working fine, with no cut
3. When my Wifi is connected to a 2.4Ghz router (or Access Point), the Bluetooth is working bad, and the communication between the Mi A1 phone and the bluetoot device has some cuts.
It seems that there is an interaction between the Bluetooth and Wifi management on the Mi A1.
This serious maIfunction is very frustrating and makes me regret the purchase of my Xiaomi Mi A1.
By the way, the speedtest reports of the Wifi connection with the Xiaomi Mi A1 are very poor, comparing to my Honor 6X or iPhone 6s.
Waiting for any correction or fix or workaround (hoping it is just software issue) of this malfunction of the Xiaomi Mi A1.

I'm not sure if the problem is connected with Wifi. I have problem also with Wifi switched of.
Please, submit the problem to Xiaomi in according to solve it.

Mi A1 Bluetooth Pairing Problem Fix
Tried pairing phone with several Bluetooth devices and could not see any initially and then I was able to pair with a speaker, a TV and a phone, however, one speaker still would not pair. After reading another forum someone suggested to push and hold the blinking pairing button on device (speaker) for 10 seconds and then the device showed up on the phone. Blue tooth connection successful. Hope this helps!
Some issue with my Toyota Corolla (2017) bluetooth. Sometimes the music will stutter when the music is paused for any reason (Google Assistant Voice command), and will not stop stuttering unless I switch the car unit to radio then bluetooth again, and the audio metadata from Spotify will not always update to the current song on the head unit display.
My previous phone (Nexus 6P) and my wife's phone (Moto Z Play) are not affected by this problem.
I'm currently on Android 8.0.0, January 2018 security update.
Software independent, hardware only malfunction???
Having numerous issues with my Bluetooth. Can't connect to my ford car at all, just says connecting then failed.
As well as this, it can't find my Amazon echo.
Works fine with me Bluetooth earphones though.
Did anyone find a solution?
I am facing another problem with my A1 connecting to the Bluetooth of my car (Opel Astra)
Pairing and phone calls are working fine, but I am unable to BROWSE for Music.
Somewhere I read it related to the Bluetooth AVRCP version. The M1 offers AVRCP 1.3, 1.4. 1.5 and 1.6 and none of them is working.
Using AVRCP 1.3 the menu item 'Browse Music' is greyed out, for the others (1.4, 1.5, 1,6) the option is available but no Music shows up.
Any idea?
Bluetooth headsets
It sounds like that whilst the Mi A1 is a fine device that's excellent value for money, it's Bluetooth implementation isn't perfect. It works fine in my car (Seat) but I've got a cheap pair of in-ear headphones and I too have the problem with the sound spluttering and breaking up unless the phone is on my shoulder. I'll try turning off Wi-Fi.
I've also got another Bluetooth over-ear headset and my Mi A1 won't even discover it. Not end of world.
I'm generally very happy with the Mi A1 - it's three years old nearly now and is still going strong. Battery isn't as good as when I bought it but can hardly complain about that. It still easily lasts a day with normal use and only struggles when I use it when tracking via GPS on a long walk.

Hi all,
I have the Plantronics Discovery 975 bluetooth headset which has never given me problems before on previous HTC phones, but I now hear crackling whenever someone speaks...
Are there other bluetooth headset users with the same problem?
+1 voyager pro sametimes cracle sometimes no
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
We bought two SGS2 and two Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth headset at work. I got one of the phones and one of the headset and I'm having the exact same problem as you have. My other colleague who were happy enough to recieve the other phone does not have any cracking noise which is rather weird.
I even tried my headset connected to his SGS2, i had to make sure my head wasn't messing up the signal or something lol... and it worked fine, so it's something with the phone i guess.
In this thread they talk about KE7 having a new sets of Bluetooth profiles and what not. Perhapes Samsung recognized there was some bug and changed things around.. But i'm only guessing here.
In case anyone is wondering:
Yes, both phone and headset was fully charged when tested.
Yes, both phones and headsets were tested in the same room around the same time so it cant be interference from external sources as it didn't bother the other SGS2.
I'm using KE2 over here. I forgot to check what version my colleague is using but we got the phones the same day from the same store so I bet he is using KE2 as well.
Did both phones have WiFi enabled or disabled?
Come to think of it, I think i had it enabled on mine but not on the other phone. I'll try compare them again and this time have wifi off on both phones.
I had a 975 for about two weeks before I returned it. I wasn't getting consistent performance on either my G2 (HTC), G2X (LG), or Vaio P (Sony). I replaced it with a BlueAnt Q2 and didn't have any problems with the same devices. It works really well on the SGS2 for phone, media, and Voice Talk. The 975 also wasn't A2DP and I like to listen to music and audio on my headset sometimes.
I tried disabling the wifi, not sure if its just now or not but, it seems to be working better. I still hear the crackling noise every now and again but not like before. However i think i will keep using my SE MW600. It delivers more solid performance and the sound quality is better as well. Maybe it's because the MW600 supports A2DP.. i cant really tell.
HTC HD2 Tmobile USA I am also having serious crackling problems...to the point of contacting Plantronics to replace my Voyager Pro and pay $49 for refurbished headset. Distance to phone 2 feet and only getting 1 bar on bluetooth strength. Any sort of obstruction like moving head between headset and phone still at 2 ft away...noticeable crackling and 1 or less BT signal strength on phone. With Wifi enable crackling increases. Connecting to a linksys router just 3 ft away is quite fast but still only 3 signal strength. Turning off bluetooth causes a rise in wifi signal strength but zero bars if more than 10 ft from router. I hard reset but problems still existed.
Extensive research on the problem came across issues about bluetooth and wifi electronics on circuitboard are side-by-side and has something to do with the negative affect on each other.
Anybody have similar "crackling" audio or crackling sound and / or LOW signal when close to phone or wifi routers. I welcome any suggestions at this point.

Jawbone and bluetooth crackling
Hi,
I have a Jawbone Prime which I used for my iPhone 4, which was crystal clear, now I've used it a couple of times with my S GS2 and so far I'm struggling to get a clear call quality.
I thought it was the headset but I have tried it with a friends Advantax speakerphone and that happens the same, every 10 sec's it goes quite and crackles to the point that it's impossible to actual have a conversation!
My phone is only 3 weeks old is it worth exchanging it or will I get the same problem if its a software issue??
Help please
BTW I have just spoken to a lady from Samsung about this issue, to find out if it is a handset issue or software. After being passed around saying it was the headset, though I explained I have tried another 2 headsets, she now said my headset is not compatible.
When I asked her for a list of compatible headsets she put me on hold and then came back saying 'Please go to an accessory store to find out'.
I don't like being fobbed off but I believe Samsung are doing that to me and everyone else! I asked if they were fixing this issue, as there are other forums of this issue, she couldn't answer that question funny enough!
I'm now going to try another handset with my sim and the headset as I work in CPW, finger crossed!
I don't know if I am having the same issue as you guys. You are describing it as "crackling"? My connection falls into a state where the audio sounds as if the bandwidth is REALLY low. So the other person's voice is choppy - really fast choppy - I don't mean intermittent sound.
If I briefly transfer the audio to the phone and then back to the handsfree device again it clears up.
This happens in my car which has a Parrot CK6100 and also our BMW mini built-in bluetooth system.
I have a UK Orange branded SGS2 with KE2 firmware.
Could someone try doing the above and see if it clears up the audio?
As a side issue, stereo audio over a2dp works without problems so it is not a signal strength issue.

Better with wifi off, but still crappy sound.
I have been having a problem with my bluetooth crackling in my car for a very long time now. I did a search and found this very old thread. I wanted to bump it up to see if anyone else is having a problem like this and if there is any known troubleshooting steps we could take. As previous people have posted, stereo bluetooth works fine, its just on calls with my car that it intermittently crackles. I can toggle the connection to my phone and back to my car to clear it up, but who wants to do that? This happens nearly every call. I thought it was my car so I ignored it but I recently tried my phone in a different car and had the same issue. Ironically, I never have this issue with regular bluetooth headsets, only with cars. Anyone else have a problem like this?
On my G6, I have really terrible audio quality over Bluetooth connections, I've had two separate G6s, of different colors, received weeks apart, and they both suck for Bluetooth audio, especially my Sony car stereo, and LG Tone Free... can anybody else report on their experience? Does your LS993 sound awful on your Bluetooth devices?
Have a fairly new G6 bluetooth og Bose earpiece working very well, also on 2010 F150 pick up and 2012 Buick no audio issues. Audio has been fine so far.
Mine also is pretty poor. The volume level is about half the level of the satellite radio or fm stations in my car
Hello all.
I had G2 in the past and I use to listen music in my car, using Bluetooth connection to Pioneer head unit. I have Spotify premium account and I have my Playlist downloaded with the best quality. However once I got G6 a week ago I noticed that audio quality from the g6 with the same songs, same Playlist, same Spotify account, is not as good as it was with g2. So I did a short research and found a thread in the net where people reported the same problem.
A guy from the thread suggested to disconnect all other Bluetooth devices from the phone (like smart watch or band) and actually that solved my problem. I have MiBand2. Once I disconnected it the audio quality became as good as before.
So guys, if you have a smart watch, try to remove it and check the quality again. I hope that helps.
I went a couple of months with no issues on my Kia Optima, then suddenly, I started getting really bad aliasing on the highs. As said above, I turned off my Huwaei watch and the sound was normal again. After a bit, I turned my watch back on, and it remained fine.
I had it happen once again many weeks later; and again, a quick off - wait - on, cycle with the watch fixed it. So whatever it is, seems to be a bandwith allocation issue with the bluetooth software. From March '17 thorugh almost Sept '17 and I've only had to do this twice? I think I can live with this.
Hey heres something for you to try..
Download WiFi Scanner from App Store.. Look at your 2.4ghz networks.. then keep in mind your cordless phones, IP Cams, Walkie Talkies, baby monitors in your area.. You may be a victim of signal interference.
Bluetooth operates on the 2.4ghz spectrum along with a TON of other devices now available.
Your sony stereo may be the culprit.. if is an aftermarket "Xplod" deck
Im an audiophile, and my G6 runs better than my Samsungs.. (also no issues with the "preventative volume warning"
What you also may have is an app that is causing the volume to lower...
For example.. when i stream the music player with the stock app, sometimes Snapchat notification sounds cause the rest of the volume to be lower..
Google Maps is another one that can hijack the sound but you can control in settings.
For using music try a different app ( i use Maple Player) and it works great ..
Based on your experiences i think its something outside causing the problem to be honest. but thats ALOT of trial and error to deal with.. if worse comes to worse- you can always get an aux jack bluetooth adapter for your car stereo if it IS the stereos bluetooth receiver .
Seems like every phone I have owned that android has had Bluetooth issues. But not my S8 Plus, not until Oreo at least.
Since Oreo bluetooth just randomly drops audio for a few seconds here and there when connected to my car stereo and though its told to NOT work for phone audio when I get phone calls it goes ahead and connects to the radio for Call Audio anyway.
anyone else seen weirdness like this?
Hi! Just got my new Mi 9T a week ago, and really happy with it (coming from an S9+), but no matter what I try (of course I did a hard reset also), my Bluetooth audio streaming keeps stopping over my car audio system, both Spotify and YouTube. I have a 2018 Ford edge and had no issues with my previous phone, and the 9T has no issues over other Bluetooth devices...any ideas? Thanks to all in advance!
Sorry, no problem with streaming Spotify over Bluetooth to my 2019 Audi Q3.
Mine also works with Audi
I've also problems with Spotify in my car (Skoda Octavia) and also on my Bluetooth headphones. While running with headphones Spotify stops playing, but my running app is still using it. So the problem is maybe with Spotify and not Bluetooth.
I've played with battery management and data, but it haven't solved the issue.
Have you prevented the app from battery optimization on both two places within miui?
You can also try to manually change the used Bluetooth protocol within developer settings.
Oh dear... I bought a new phone (mi9t) because my old one (leeco le max2) have bluetooth issues with my car (chevrolet mylink on a camaro ss). On one day it's working fine, the next day I get reconnects every 5 seconds. I've tried a lot of things including other roms (but still PIE), resetting phone, deleting cache and repairing both devices. Without success.
I'll get my 9t this week, so I can test it myself.
What I want to say with this comment is.... I've encountered similar problems with other phones.
Try changing the Bluetooth version in developer options. It fixed a few small issues I was having with my JVC car stereo.
Hi guys, My car astra j (2011) and the dvd800 car media. If connected the Mi9T ,then everything fine .I can call .But ,if i have a incoming call ,when i pick up the call,then is 10 s latency.They don't hear me ,and i don't hear them.Any idea?
Same here (no sound from my phone's microphone) through any bluetooth device. any ideas?
I've installed 10.3.1 and have a Samsung S3 Gear connected usually. I have trouble connecting to my car and keeping a stable connection. The connection drops out from the car. Is this a known or common issue with 10.3.1? I then tried to put the phone on speaker and then the phone keeps trying to send audio to a bluetooth device and won't just stay on speaker. anyone have similar issues? know any fixes?

No problems here, I use a Bluetooth FM device in my work van and it works fine.
I also have a Jabra 65t set that work great,
never had any problems through many updates both stable and beta.

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.
