Bluetooth stuttering while charging wireless. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Ive installed the Nexus wireless charging pad, in my car. It charges and works fine, but when I play spotify the music stutters all the time. Might get 3-4 min of clean music, but then it goes back to stuttering. I tought at first it might be because of low signal to the 4g network. Ive checked with full signal strenght and it still stutters. Tomtom even stutters when I use it with voice directions, and that app is offline.
Anyone got similar problems, or know how to fix it?
Cheers!

A2DP on Retail 1.5

Anyone else try it? I got it working on my car stereo, was a bit scratchy and cut out sometimes, but one thing I majorly noticed was my phone would slow to a crawl. often not accepting inputs for 15-30 seconds
Anyone else having this issue?
I am not using it with my car... but with Sony BT headsets... and it really is working great.
I can FF/RW my songs, answer calls, etc.
It does cutout only if I am in a crowded area... like a shopping mall. I think its because of all the other radio interference on the 2.4Mhz band (WiFi, cordless phones).
But I do not see any lag while using them... in fact... I listen to my music over BT while playing games on the phone.
Many thanks, i'll have to troubleshoot, maybe I installed the radio wrong or something, or maybe it's something else.

What is Retail 1.5? I'm really looking forward to A2DP, how do I get this?
yeah i went to walmart to test out a deck i was gonna buy which supported a2dp
and what i noticed was that if the phone was close enough the song wouldnt skip or miss some beats but once i took it a little further away or out of line of sight it started to skip every now and then
but when i was on a call no matter how close or far i was it wasnt skipping...
i have had it skip occasionally (use it with my SONY MEX-BT5000 Headunit) and sometimes it will just only connect on headset. Restart the phone and all is perfect.
Make sure you turn of wifi (even when there's no connection) if you don't want it to skip. I have a sony head unit as well (2700) and it doesn't skip. I does skip when it switches network, like going from 3g to 2g, but it's for a split second.
i check it out, but when i mean skip, i mean like regualrly, every few seconds... it probably the phone being bogged down by multiple background apps imo. (hence why the restart has made it dissapear everytime). I did notice however that this implementation of A2DP has the fastest "next track/skip track" from any other device i have ever used.(almost no delay after the 1st use) Kudos to that!

Google Music not streaming properly

Does anyone else have a problem streaming music with google music? This was never a problem on my optimus v but my T seems to have a hard time doing it. I even had full bars yesterday and it was barely sputtering out any music.
Is this an issue that would warrant an exchange?
i cant get set up to even stream... dunno why but my T isn't connected or connecting to Google music.. any help?
ive been messing around with it and it seems my problem was juice defender. When i disable it is seems to work better.
Works fine for me. It did stop once, but I hardly call that an issue

[Q] Weird Bluetooth Issue

So this morning I was driving and noticed something flashing on my car radio's screen. The "media playback" icon was flashing every few seconds while my phone was connected. I never stream bluetooth music as I have an iPod hookup so I have media streaming disabled under bluetooth options on my phone, and if I'm using navigation I don't get the navigation voice if I'm not using bluetooth streaming anyway. Does anyone have an idea as to why it's flashing? I'm about to download Better Battery Stats and see if that's what's causing my phone to drain faster than I believe it should. Under the battery information it seems my phone is waking up a LOT more than it should be. Preferably, I'd like to keep it when I don't stream bluetooth music on my radio. Also, on my old phone, a Galaxy Nexus, I never had this problem, so I doubt its my car radio.
Also, an afterthought (and unrelated issue), when I unplug my phone from the charger the screen doesn't turn on. This is the first phone I've had that has this behavior. Is this normal?

Bluetooth streaming to car stereo

Im using my Nexus 5 to stream Google Play Music (all access) to my Jaguar XF (Meridian system).
I can connect fine, and music streams, but i get the odd 'drop' that lasts for a second or less. There doesnt seem to be a pattern to it. It happens on locally stored music as well as 'streamed' so i dont think its a 'cloud' issue.
Anyone seen anything similar ? i am trying to see if it happens when an email comes in, or an SMS, or some similar issue but i cant spot anything.
Unsure therefore whether its a Nexus 5 hardware issue ? an app issue ? a bluetooth issue ? a Jaguar issue ?

I experience the same thing from time to time. When I first researched the problem, I read that Google Play Music, for some reason, uses a data connection even when playing tracks that are on the device. I then saw that the hiccups occurred only during times when the signal was weak or changing bands. Have you noticed what kind of connection you have when the skipping occurs?
You should trying using another music player. I noticed that skipping issue on GPM on all my car and trucks. I use Power Amp and i have no issues, but i guess if you are streaming directly from GPM thats your only option.
Most definitely happening from streaming instead of playing from the sd card. Even then you have to force the phone to use from Device Only as leaving All Music chosen will still try to stream music you already have on the phone. And even further still if you decide to try to do a random playback list you can't go into the queue and chose a song without being connected to data. It's completely stupid. Not really sure what you could do though seeing as you use the All Access service.
Thanks both.
I will try another player to test the theory. it would be a shame if its GPM as I got the £7.99 deal and Im very impressed with it to be honest. particularly as i subscribed on a shared account to wife and kids all get access too
I've never had this happen with my N5 while streaming BT audio using Google Play Music, but I only play On Device music so no data connection is required for me....
signal was weak or changing bands.........

I've only noticed this when I receive some sort of notification and I don't have the device on Silent/Vibrate. But I have noticed that when occasionally streaming that the quality/sound drops and then picks right back up. I'm sure that will have to do with me driving around and it relying on network.

Bluetooth disconnects when music/video is buffering

Hello xda,
I recently put Bluetooth into an old boombox from the eighties. It works great, except with my galaxy s4.
Bluetooth keeps on disconnecting, rapidly reconnecting and disconnecting again whenever I try to stream via Google play music or YouTube for example. My s4 disconnects the bluetooth device whenever the audio takes too much time to start streaming, which is always the case as I have a poor internet connection.
Why do I think it is related to the time it takes for audio to start streaming ?
- The boombox works fine with local files on my galaxy s4
- Streaming audio works fine when my s4 is connected to 4g or faster wifi, when there is no long buffering before a song starts playing.
- It works fine on all other devices I tested (nexus 10, laptop, moto g....), even when music has to buffer for 30+ seconds before it starts playing.
Pausing a song works fine though, and it stays connected for hours when nothing is being played
It must be related to my phone, it has the original Samsung lollipop firmware but it is rooted and has xposed installed (of course).
A factory reset is not an option, I have done way too many tweaks for that.
Has anyone been having this problem?
Is it possible to install a newer/different Bluetooth firmware?
Or does anyone know an app/ xposed module that prevents the phone from disconnecting a bluetooth device on it's own ?
Thank you in advance,
nxss4
