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
Hi ppl, i like so much to listen streaming audio and my zenfone 5 are with a issue, the problem is when i turn the bluetooth on and pair it with my car player for streaming audio, (spotify, soundcloud, youtube..) the wifi stops to receive the internet data properly, e.g: when it paired with the player via bluetooth i open youtube and the internet trasfer rate is about a 90-150kb/s max, but when i shutdown the bluetooth the trasfer speed is up to 15Mb/s the wifi bar strenght is awalys full, so it seems to be a conflict or interference between wifi and bluetooth in zenfone 5 idk exactly whats happening, now i using the RR rom 7.1.2 by tank but the original rom also presented the same problem, i tested another smarthphone of samsung and this problem not occurs, has anyone ever experienced this?
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.
Bought Hauwaei Mate 9 a month ago on Swappa. Great phone. One issue I am having is connecting & staying connected to various devices using Bluetooth.
If I connect to NBA, NHL, MLB streaming audio Mate 9 will disconnect after a few minutes. Seems, if display is on no problem, but if it goes off normally or I turn display off, Bluetooth disconnects within a few minutes.
BTW, using Google Music for my music on my phone or cloud no problem. Don't use Google Music Streaming Paid Service.
I am connecting to Beats 2 ear pods & Bluetooth standalone speaker. Both have disconnect issues.
Also devices do not always connect easily. Sometimes have to turn off Bluetooth, ear pods, start over for them to connect?
Wondering if other Mate 9 or Hauwaei phone users have similar issue?
I wonder if this is a case of Bluetooth disconnecting or power management shutting down those apps.
Try turning off optimizations for those apps
Asus zenphone max pro M1 supports Bluetooth 5.0, is there any app or way to do dual audio feature like Samsung galaxy S8, S9. Where the audio is playing at the same time on two Bluetooth speakers. Currently I can connect to two speakers but can't play simultaneously
