Bluetooth playback issues - General Questions and Answers

Hello I am having issues with streaming media, pausing every 5 to 10 mins, it happens more often over bluetooth but it does happen with a aux cable too. I have a sm-g900t wth a stock rom, I have tried clearing the Bluetooth cache as well as the various app caches and still no luck I have even tried re pairing to my device and still have issues. If this is in the wrong place please let me know, I am starting to wonder if my device is faulty or if it's a software issue, I also have the latest update from tmobile, but I had this issue before the update but now it seems to be more pronounced and I have no ideas as to how to roll back updates. Any help will be appreciated. Thanyou

Disconnection issues?

Ok I just got the watch and had major issues with the first one so I exchanged it.. This one works alot better but it appears it can't keep a connection, it says it connected but some apps stop being able to communicate. Like the phone finder app will show that's it's loading then it just does nothing...

I´ve got the same issue with a Xperia Z1 compact (Android 4.3)
Sometimes it also looses connection and cannot reconnect until rebooted (the watch rebooted!)
Anyone else?

OK so the issue started when impaired my headset to my phone also, even though that headset isn't on the watch stopped wanting to connect. Just unpaired it and the watch connected again

Hrmm... I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help here except to mention that I am running the SW2 with a Nexus 5 as well and I frequently connect a bluetooth headset at the same time and I haven't run into any bluetooth connection issues so far. I've had the watch for 2-3 months now, I do remember having to update the firmware once when I first got it... perhaps reset the watch and check to see if you have the latest firmware?
I have problems like this too. This watch seems to have interference issues. My bluebuds X constantly disconnect when I'm on a call with my SW2 connected. Worst part is they never make a sound, I just stop hearing my caller, and I eventually check the phone and see they've been dropped to the headset and I've been talking to myself.
Music also disconnects the headphones occasionally, but it's not frequently enough for it to be a big problem. Calls on the other hand disconnect like every 30 seconds.
Update: I no longer blame my SW2 for this issue. They headphones disconnect when the watch is not connected. The phone disconnects from other A2DP devices. I'm blaming my phone now.

Are you running stock ROM and kernel or custom? I am running SlimRom and stock kernel and have no issues keeping the watch connection with a LG Tone+ headset.

I tried everything. Finally got fed up and returned it for the pebble. 2 days of frustration

Same issue here with a Wiko King (Micromax A110 clone).
Sometime all is ok, sometime no :crying:
For me, disable and enable BT is the workaround.
Fixed

With the Android 4.4 update problem has gone.
Same for me, my watch disconnect ... from my Nexus 5
But the last Android version (of course, it's the Nexus) doesn't solve anything.
I hope a lot has been done with the following SW2 firmware to solve this issue.
My wife was having disconnect issues as well using MIUI rom, then she moved to CM and no more issues

I have the same issue, BT-connection suddenly drops out, mostly after some notifications happen within a short period of time, after which only a reboot of the watch gets it going again. So to me it looks very much like a watch-problem, not like a phone related.
I have same problem.
On phone it looks like connected but on watch is not. When tried to turn off bluetooth my phone reboots itself.
Start to happen after last update, my first tough was sth wrong with my rom. Reinstalled my rom, still same. Finally returned to stock and problem persist.
As it happen after last update it looks is related. Yesterday I got smartwach update but not resolved.
Using with Sony SP.

Just a shot in the dark: are you all using wristn! ?
I replaced this with watchify tnis afternoon and havent had a single disconnect since then.
Might be coincidence, tho.

[Q] Problem with call audio quality in the oneplus

I've been using the phone for almost 7 months now, the problem never occurred until a couple of days ago. In both incoming and outgoing calls, the other party can't hear me, not at all. I cut it and call them again, then it's okay. This problem, however, vanishes if I'm using a headphone or loudspeaker, but whenever I switch from the headphone/loudspeaker to hands-on, the problem immediately starts again. I've tried restarting the phone, doesn't help. Has anyone faced this issue? I heard in one place that a factory reset might be helpful, I'm not quite sure whether I should go for it. Can anyone tell me whether it's a software or a hardware level problem? Because this problem does not occur when I'm using Viber or Skype, it only occurs when I'm calling from my carrier number. Any help will be much appreciated.
I am having a similar if not the same problem. Phone is basically unusable. Going to try the low mic fix in this forum. Only other bit of info I'd add is I'm on AT&T.
Can you give me a link to that low mic fix?

Haven't tried it yet, but here it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/qa-low-mic-call-t3056078
OK, So I have flashed the low mic volume fix successfully, and though the problem was intermittent before, I have yet to see the issue persisting past the "fix".
I'll keep my fingers crossed and update if the problem shows up again.

[Q] Bluetooth issues after Lollipop

Bluetooth functionality is horrible after the OTA update. I've seen with other devices similar issues (like the G3). I've had to switch to using my aux cable in the car to prevent the annoying Bluetooth skip, lag, and stutters.
Has anyone found a temporary solution to this? Maybe another kernel?
I haven't been able to root yet, I don't think CF autoroot supports the XT1034 yet.
Any help is appreciated!
Same issues on XT1039
So far no sensible response from anyone except try a factory reset, I might try that tonight and report back

I tried the factory reset w/cache wiping and it worked for a couple of months... Now I am getting the same issues again. Rubbish update. I hate myself for having done it. Has anyone found a solution?

Media intermittently pausing

Hey guys,
I've been getting constantly annoyed by an issue I encountered when I upgraded my XZ Dual to Android Nougat. For some reason, it does not matter what media app I'm using (Play Music/Youtube/Browser media). It will end up randomly pausing. At first I thought it was an issue with bluetooth streaming since I usually hear music on my car, but then I tried using the aux port too and it also produces the same issue. Not only that, even if I'm playing through the in-phone speakers, same issue. Many will say to turn off the app power saving feature, I did a few searches and know that the samsungs are prone to this problem, but I still have the same problem, doesn't matter if I'm connected to a charger it always happens! At this point I'm very desperate for a solution and trying to avoid at all costs to have to factory flash/reset the phone since it is a pain having to copy everything to the internal memory due to the ridiculous hybrid sim/sd design.
I'd appreciate some help!
up. having the same issue as well. it probably has something to do with the upgrade.

Have you tried doing a factory reset on your phone to see if that helped?
bump. Anyone?

Bluetooth Music Choppy

Hey, got my U12 and within 12 hours looks like I might be returning it. Fantastic device Im very annoyed. Music through bluetooth to my car sounds a skipping cd. Anybody experiencing similar or any idea what to do? Changing parameters in the developer options doesn't seem to work.

No problems here with Bluetooth and Ford Sync 1.1 with latest software 5.11.

I saw in another thread that suggested going into developer options and switching Bluetooth AVRCP to v1.4 instead of 1.5. Did you try that one too?
Ya tried that, it's less severe but still happening. Iv isolated it to vw head units i think.
I was having a similar issue with my Bluetooth headphones. It kept cutting in and out while my headphones worked fine with my iPhone.
I'll be using my headphones again this evening so lets see if it happens again and if I can get more details.
I've had no problem with it in a Toyota Yaris. Also no problems with BT headphones - it's even a bit better than the U11 BT, which used to skip now & again. Had to set BT to 1.4 for full control in the car.

Maybe VW has been updating their software and you could drive by a dealership to update or do it yourself. Since Oreo came out I also had problems with BT. No media info was shown. The problem seems to be Oreo 8.0. In 8.1 Google solved some of these problems.
Since Ford brought out an update everything works fine now. Hopefully Android P has covered all these bugs.

Brand new car though. I might make a phone call about it all the same.

Found some solutions on Google that you could try out:
Settings>Apps>Application list>... >show system apps>Bluetooth>force stop, then clear data.
If this doesn't work, remove the pairing, repeat above and redo the pairing.
Or
Reset Network settings fixes the Bluetooth problem after Oreo Update. Settings > Backup & Reset > Network Settings Reset and everything works like charm.
Or
Change of Bluetooth Audio Codec (Settings -> Advanced -> Bluetooth Audio Codec) from SBC to aptX seemingly fixed it.
Hope one of them helps. Good luck!

I have also experienced this with my VW. I listen to audio books mostly and every so often a word drops out and it gets annoying.
Iv just had to switch to using the aux. Awful annoying, brand new phone and brand new car and ****ing bluetooth doesn't work properly.
I still connect to the bluetooth for calls only which has created a side problem too where if I get a call its not sending the sound through the bluetooth by default i need to manually select it.

Re: Bluetooth music choppy
Thank you phxzy , all!! Having the same annoying issues with my HTC U12 Plus Bluetooth in my car. Maps misses a lot of verbal directions and music is horrible.
Thanks for the many suggestions!! I'll try them this weekend!!
I just have some cheap BT device I found at a local discount store but I only occasionally have the choppiness. When it happens it's like the audio continues and I miss a few seconds of the audio. My main issue is more that it stops the playback altogether. It doesn't seem to disconnect just the playback stops/pauses and has to be restarted. This whole time I've been under the impression that it's the player/app but I'll try some of the advice given here and see if I can get it to improve. Thanks
