Everyday when I drive to work I use my phone to stream music to my radio over bluetooth. Now when I tried it with my new Moto G I have problem with sound quality. The sound is somewhat distorted, metal sounding with plenty of compression artifacts. I tried to reconnect the phone, unpair and pair it again. I even tried different players and disabled all equalizer effects without any success. My previous phone Huawei G300 with ICS was plaing music flawlessly. Now when I connected phone to my PC over the bluetooth the sound was just fine. Anybody else experienced this problem? Is there any way to fix it? I searched the web and it seems that many users had smilar issue with A2DP running different versions of Jellybean.
No problems with a2dp here on 2 different receiver devices, so sorry. Running the MG with 4.3
Damn, so it has to be some compatibility issue with my car radio and this phone. Too bad Will try to resolve it somehow. Thanks.
Maybe the Moto G also have a low bitpol (bitrate) value for the SBC codec? When used with a compatible BT receiver that accepts MP3, it will sound fine whereas transcoding a loosy format to SBC at a even lower bitrate will cause audible audio artefacts.
I'm thinking of getting these small 30 pin Apple/iPod dock BT receiver which I suspect may only implement the bare minimum of A2DP : SBC codec, so if the Moto G is plagued by the low bitpol setting then I'll forget this idea lol
Hello,
I have a relatively severe issue with the Bluetooth audio quality on my phone. It sounds pretty much exactly like 64kbits MP3, you can especially hear it in the high frequencies. It's somehow distorted and unclear and extremely annoying as it ruins the experience totally. Everyone who heard sound over my Bluetooth devices has heard this.
The weird thing: I experienced this with both my Galaxy S5 (G900F) and my Galaxy S6 (G920F) and every single Bluetooth device that is connected to them. I tried it with my Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter, Denon AVR X1100W, Logitech Boombox and my car stereo Kennwood KDC-BT35U. The audio quality is always the same.
However, with my Nexus 5, my Galaxy Tab S8.4 and my Laptop, the audio quality over Bluetooth is great! Also, if I use the headphone jack on my Galaxys, it sounds just fine. I mostly use Spotify and Google Play Music, but the problem is not there since it sounds great when using a cord.
I asked the Samsung Support about this and of course they didn't know anything. They offered replacing the device but I don't think that this makes a difference since I had the same problem on my Galaxy.
Now I am asking everyone else who has the Galaxy S5 or S6, have you experienced something like this? Any solutions? It is very frustrating.
I just solved this mystery. For a long time I have been using the Mi Fitness Band, and I was wearing it all the time, so whenever that is connected to the phone the audio quality gets very bad. At least I know what it is now!
Same here!
If my Mi Band 2 is paired in the Mi Fit app, the audio quality of ANY connected bluetooth device (aux speaker, car audio etc.) is distorted (especially high sounds)
I reinsatlled the Mi Fit app, even reseted the whole phone, nothing changes. Only if I unpair the Mi Band in the mi fit app, is the bluetooth audio quality ok.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 6.0.1
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 firmware V1.0.1.34
Good audio quality at Bluetooth playback
Guys,
I experienced the same when i playback via Bluetooth in my car. Since i installed Poweramp beta, you can choose some different type of audio playback quality. I set mine at 24 bit playback, 192 khz. I can hear some slight difference but i think you can not expect much of it.
Second option might be Viper4android and Dolby Atmos. These will increase earsgasm at your desire.
Give it a try and report feedback!
Here is a screenshot of it.
Poweramp has unbelivable awesome effects, but it does not eliminate the base problem: miband (or any Bluetooth LE stuff?) affects the bluetooth audio transmission.

That is true and sadly a known problem of android in general. See http://www.androidauthority.com/android-wear-ruining-bluetooth-speaker-headset-sound-656300/
Solution
I might have a solution for some of you. Good luck.
Find it in my reddit post. I can't post URL's because i am new here. I only created this account for sharing the solution.

Hey Guys
Here is my Problem. I Want to use APT-x In Ears from Nuforce whcih are excelent for Audio
However for resons unknown its not a Headset so no Microphone.
Now i dont wanna run around with a second headset, so my idea would be using a seperate small BT microphone in case i need and want a Headset like for driving.
So is that even possible on android 6?
Phone is rooted ofc
atm is a nexus5 but if this works in principal i might switch to an aptx compatible phone, until then i might just use it with nexus9 which has aptx
On my S6, when I am connected to the bluetooth device I have in my truck (Himbox HB01 Plus) that has apt-X, if I have both the Call Audio and Media Audio settings within the Bluetooth profile for that device enabled, the sound through the speakers is extremely poor, like a 32-64kbps stream even though using a 192kbps or higher mp3 and a native player. If I turn off the Call Audio setting, instantly the quality improves drastically to what I would expect it to be. I had a friend try with his Samsung Nexus device and he didn't have any such issue with the same bluetooth device. Prior to the Himbox, I had another bluetooth adapter w/o apt-X in the truck that acted the same which is what prompted me to try the Himbox thinking maybe the S6 needed this codec to stream properly. Unfortunately there was no change.
Does anybody have a similar problem or more importantly a fix? Is this a hardware issue with the phone or if I flash a custom ROM could this fix the problem as it has something to do with the Samsung programming? I didn't have any issues with my S4 and from what I gather researching online it is a S6 & S7 issue. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Good morning! I need some help.. I have a Pioneer DEH-X4800BT stereo in my truck. Prior to the 3.0 update my Note 20 Ultra would connect for Bluetooth audio each time I started my truck. However, since the update my phone will connect for calls only. I have to un-pair and then re-pair each time in order to get the Bluetooth audio to work. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? I have messed with every Bluetooth setting in my phone as well as the stereo and have gotten nowhere. Thanks in advance!
