Bluetooth issues - stuttering/skipping - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I just got the OPO few days ago and I'm having issues with bluetooth. I use bluetooth in my car to stream music. Everything was working fine on my Nexus 5.
On the OPO i can connect without problems but when playing some music there is some strange stuttering and skipping of music...
Anyone also having this issue ?
I'm thinking this is a software bug as I found out that CM had a lot of issues with bluetooth stuttering...

Bump ?

I haven't had any issues. I've probably steamed at least 12 of audio over Bluetooth so far this week. Being CyanogenMod, I'm not sure if it supports aptx or just a2dp. Either way, no issues here.

What rom? Did you change performance settings? Installed Viper4Android? Anything not stock?
fwiw I found that V4A caused issues with certain settings (convolver enabled, clarity) if low max screen-off frequency was forced. Otherwise my BT doesn't skip at all or lag on two sets of speakers, Sony MDR-1RBT headset and a car stereo.
Does your previous phone have the same prob?

I'm now on Mahdi ROM and I have the same issue. I'm streaming via bluetooth into a FM transmitter (http://www.newpotatotech.com/TUNELINK_ANDROID/tunelink_android.html). It was working fine with my Nexus 5.
I don't think I changed anything... I will try to troubleshoot it again, but I think it must be some software bug..

Same issue here. With a tunelink FM transmitter.

I don't have any problems with a prius Bluetooth and generic chinese navigation system.

With the M8 stable rom, the Audio quality is better, the micro stutters are still there though
It's a known bug with CM11 no fix in sight as far as I could find:

Atleast we are not alone. Hope it gets fixed soon.

I also have issues with Bluetooth, I use Poweramp as my media player and have it set to autoplay when it connects to BT but when it connects, it plays a brief second and stops. I have to manually play the music.
I also noticed it only sends the first song metadata rather than change every time I play something different... Annoying.

had similar problems with both my S4 and Z1 on CM (using both since one is my private and one my business mobile) Both are now on PAC (7/10/2014) and even before that i did not have the bluetooth issues with them on PAC. try it out - there is a PAC for the One (which i will use as well when mine arrives this week (hopefully))
or try with omnirom - they use a different BT implementation

Could you give us a link to the PAC ?

Check bacon-1005 on jira and vote it up. Cyan-4147 was reported specifically for the m7 and it's gki_Linux errors. There are some patches I'm testing to isolate the cause of the stuttering. Don't worry you all are not the only ones with the issue.

PAC rom bluetooth quality?
Can anyone confirm that PAC rom has fixed the problem of bad quality BT audio?
I am runnig the stock CM rom - now rooted, but the problem has been there all the time since I got the phone. The sound quality is not acceptabe with my Lexus RX 450h handsfree for the outbound call audio, that is I can hear quite well, but the other person can not.
My old phone Galaxy Nexus worked just fine, so there has to be something wrong with OPO's bluetooth.

Guys user: BIOYAM
Found a fix that worked for him and for me. You can try this:
Install SetCPU (I used a free app No-frills Cpu controll) with Governor: Interactive, CPU: Max 2265MHZ & Min 652
This totally stopped my bluetooth audio issues. Of course you need to be rooted to use these tools.
Hope this helps. :good:

Problem solved!
Hey problem solved
I had bluetooth pairing and buffering problems and now everything works perfectly. what I did was flash OPO_OxygenOS_1_0-modem-flashable.zip (you can find it somewhere in google docs..don't remember the link)
anyway after doing that everything works perfectly.
I am running cyanogen 12.1 nightly build from 20150601
then I flashed the modem.

[Q] bluetooth headphones skip on music play

so hey i just got some "rocketfish" headphones.
i have them charged and they are working perfect with my ipad..
but when i play music on my phone thru them or just tap thru the menu to go somewhere it skips.playing music it skips 2wice every second. and when i tap it takes a second to respond and echos like. could it be the rom? which im using MIUI currently. but i have no idea. if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE - let me knw, and how to fix it
​
MIUI and CM7 both have the same partially working bluetooth issue, there are no ETA on when it will get fixed. If you want to use your headset, then you will need to flash a samsung based rom.

Yea it is. I flashed the doctors rom yesterday. It was good. But I like miui rom better because it's more customizable. And it works with volume + the one that boosts the main speaker. But anyway thanks. I flashed the latest version of the rom. Hopefully. It'll fix the bt issue.

CM9 and Car Bluetooth Music Streaming

I'm just wondering if some one else has this same issue and if it has been fixed/worked around somehow.
I'm running CM9 and have a car bluetooth unit. I make and receive calls fine, but oddly, I can only stream music using Apollo and Google Play. All the other apps don't work, pandora, tunein, playerPro, powerAmp, AmazonMP3. This only happens when I try to use my car BT, everything works fine with other regular bluetooth headseats.
Using stock ROM or stock-based ROM (like skyics) everything works fine; all the apps transmit my music to the BT unit without problems.
Ideas?

Actually, I know some BT issues have been reported, not this one in particular. But my main question is if someone has found a fix or way around.
Since I couldn't find anything, I kept researching and discovered it is a sound routing issue in CM that happens with BT car units; regular BT headsets work fine.
I downloaded this app (sound route switcher bluetooth) that forces the sound to be routed to whatever you select. When I select to force the sound through BT, all the music apps transmit fine to my car BT unit.
This particular problem only happens in CM and AOPK. The stock or stock-based roms (like sky ics) route the music properly.
The BT problems have been reported since CM7 but they don't seem to care about it.
I got exactly same problem and I am running CM jelly bean on my samsung S2 the car I have got is toyota camery with stock audio system. I have been looking for the solution but cant find anything on net.

Install the app I linked above or get a "stock-ish" ROM.

so far i have tested every Rom for the Skyrocket, and none redirect audio to the Bluetooth, i bought an app that allowed me, redirect audio to BT but haven't found a free one but the app is still glitchy this one does have a trial. Period if you want to test

Bluetooth Audio Control But No Sound

I'm running Altered's/my AOKP, and use my phone with my car (tried in multiple cars actually) stereo, which is actually an aftermarket head that worked fine with my phone before. It will connect over BT fine, and I can control my music with the buttons on the radio, but the sound still comes through the phone speaker. By this I mean, I can hit play and skip songs with the radio, but the sound plays out of the phone, not the car. any ideas?
Yea.. I never quite got to the root of the audio issues - and its probably the same in all of my source-built ROMs..
At one time I forced things to work - like the ability to make in-call volume adjustments, etc.. And now I can't get by without using pre-built audio files (libaudioflinger, libaudio_ext, etc.) - or maybe that's just for the non-kexec versions? Or maybe that's right and the issue lies elsewhere..
I'm curious, does this problem exist on mokee? Doubt it.. But I think he uses those same pre-built audio files..
I will build you a kexec version of aokp soon, and make a nice local_manifest... Then, I'm giving it up to you

[Q] Audio breaks in MP3 tracks

Hi all,
I just got myself a 16GB oneplus one. It is running on Cyanogen OS version 11.0-XNPH05Q.
I got this problem, which hopefully someone has a remedy for it:
During MP3 music playbacks (no matter what MP3 player app I have installed), there is always this audio ''breaks'' in between the song. It's like the music will start to play -->break-->play.
The playback is not very smooth and it's rather irritating.
Anything I can do to remedy this?

Honestly, I would try updating your rom. CM12 fixed a lot of audio issues, and a host of others as well. In any case, a custom rom and kernel would most likely be the easiest fix. Other than that, there's probably a thread somewhere around the OPO forums related to this

Unfortunately, I have tried using CM12 (latest weekly ROM cm-12-20150308-NIGHTLY-bacon), as well as LiquidSmooth ROM 5.0.
However, the problem occurs once the headphone is plugged into the headphone jack. I am getting this audio break from youtube videos, MP3 files in internal memory, etc...
But there aren't any issues with the music playback if I am using wireless bluetooth headphones or if the music is coming out from the phone speaker itself.
I suspect this could be a hardware issue? Maybe with the headphone jack?
Hi guys,
Any remedies on my problem? And by the way, if I downgrade my phone to CM11-33R, this issue of "music glitch" will disappear. Any ROM above CM11-33R will have this issue. This occurs only for music playback through earphones. No issues through the phone loudspeakers.
And another thing is what I found out accidentally:
When this music glitch happened, I just need to play some rock music at max volume, the phone will automatically bring up the google voice search screen. And I just need to close the google voice search and the music glitch will totally go away until the next time i plug in the earphones again.
No matter what i have tried, i.e. Official lollipop, franco kernel, etc... The music glitch is still there
Thanks

HTC U11 Bluetooth Audio Quality Issue on Android 8.0

Hi, last week I installed the OTA Android 8.0 update on my HTC U11.
Since this update the audio quality when streaming to my car's audio system or to my pioneer hi-fi system at home is a lot worse than on Android Nougat. Especially on tracks with a lot of high tunes. There's always a slight 'clink' noise. I don't know how to explain this in English..
Have you noticed this issue as well? Is there something I can do about it? Thanks
question are you using any sound mods?

Same for me. Since this update, the quality of phone call when connected to Bluetooth to my car is really bad. No problem with music stream connected to the same car.
I tried managing the new bluetooth options in developper mode menu but it doesn't solve the problem.
The codec used is all the time SBC even is I change it to AAC or aptX or AptxHD.

I have the same issue, it seems it was fixed in 42 version for US market(at least for LDAC)
I have 2 issues with Bluetooth connections with the car. The first is that it picks up interference from the noise of the wheels and engine while driving, and the sound quality suffers and it sounds unclear, unless I mute the vehicle.
The second is that it has a lot of trouble connecting to the car at times. Or, more often, it would not connect the media through the car. Don't know what's up with that.
I know how you feel
I've got exact same problem like yours. Although I'm using HTC u11 plus. My new pair of Bluetooth headphones have the same not OK audio quality. You're right especially the high tunes. I'm desperate, trying to reset everything, but doesn't help. If you find the solution, please let me know. Thank you.

Same issue here. I have the U11 as well and just updated to Oreo and I have the same issue as well. Music over BT was ok on Nougat but after the update, music sounds as if there is digital clipping. And it's there with both my headset and car audio system.
Got the same issue, hope they fix it soon. The only solution seems to do a RUU right now.
Btw. I am on a custom rom (LeeDroid), gonna go full stock and try again.
I would suggest looking in developer options and trying some of the different options for bluetooth in there!
Settings > about > software information > more > then tap the build number till it says you are a developer.
Then
Go to developer options and check under networking, there are some settings to toggle in there.
You may find something you are looking for! I personally haven't tried bt since the update so I don't know if it is a common issue. Good luck!
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Playing around with the bluetooth options in the developer's menu solved this issue.
The audio quality through bluetooth is now pretty much the same as it was with the previous android os

Share what settings you stuck with so it may help the other people with the same problem
Hey there!
Same problem for me since updating my U11 to Oreo - very poor bluetooth audio quality...
I tried using different bluetooth settings under the developer options but the thing is: no matter what I choose, it keeps switching back to the default values not affecting anything at all.
If it switch back to default SBC it means your headset/BT device doesn't support other codec.

That's not necessarily true. On 7.1 both Bluetooth devices which I use can support either AAC, SBC and aptX. My understanding is this issue occured because of the removal of AVRCP 1.3. I think Google added 1.3 back to Android 8.q because of this.

Yours is not necessarily true either. I'm on 8.0 and I can still use aptX if I want but only if my BT device supports aptX.

I'm not arguing that aptX and other codecs aren't working on 8.0. What I'm saying is that with certain devices, we are no longer seem to be able to use certain codecs that we could use prior. It's obviously device dependent, but to say their isn't a problem and blame it on the Bluetooth device is incorrect. Infact the same problem has occurred on non HTC devices when they've upgraded to 8.0 such as the OnePlus.

Fair enough, I didn't understand.
Does anyone know how to make the bluetooth options under developer options stick? I'm on stock unlocked Oreo, and they go back to defaults as soon as I change them. I've tried changing them whilst connected in the car, but no change. The only thing that could make a difference is that I'm running Pitch Black Substratum theme. Anyone else got them to stick?
In my Audi a3 2015 before oreo i can able to skip the track with entertainment commad and in the display i saw name of the track. After update i have lost all funtionality and the car see my device only like esternal suorce . Can i do something?
