Everything seems OK when my phone has just been factory reset but within a day or two the Bluetooth Audio will go weak and low quality until another factory reset which I can't keep doing.
I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this? The only possible trigger I can think of is when I've used my Gear VR but I'm not sure.
Swapped my ear buds out to no avail.
Running on Marshmallow (EVR build) with Dec 16 security patch.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

There is no reason, sometime the Bluetooth volume goes to default after new connections or resets (stock rom), true, but just push the volume rocker to the max while connected and you should be ok i guess.
If it's weak with the volume to the max, not sure what it could be, maybe your external BT device?
I think this might be related to using BT earphones with the Gear VR & S7.
I remember a few Occulus apps the sound was just a 'digital noise' (corrupted) when using BT but it was fine when using corded.
Since only using corded earphones when using the Gear VR this problem has not occurred again yet & I spent quite some time on the Gear VR now.
I'll update if the problem comes back but if I don't I think this is where the problem might lie in that something's getting corrupted when using BT audio between Gear VR & S7 that doesn't go away when you disconnect the Gear VR.

Well this problem started again so I guess I'll go back to corded earphones. Sure beats constant factory resets.

Anyone else notice the audio output via BT to be rather low? Connected this to my card (Ford explorer) and I have to almost double the speaker volume from what I had used with my Note 3..

Strange, I don't have this issue with my AT&T G3 and Motorola bluetooth headset. Maybe I'm not picky about it or something. It works the same as it did on my Nexus 5

Had this problem today in a 2014 Dodge. the G3 has separate BT volume. SO basically I had to max out my phone volume to make it normal.
Thought i'd mention this just in case you missed it.
BT headset volume is fine but music playback through my car BT is pretty low. Like what was mentioned you need to make sure the BT volume on your G3 is turned up all the way or you will have no bump at all.
I've had lower volume issues with a wired headset. It's like I need a booster.

I noticed this too and Amazon sells little headphone amps just for this very thing. My son bought one and said it helps quite a bit.
RE: Volume Fix
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/mod-volime-booster-t2826646
It worked for me, and if you read through the 1st page, the have a Recovery that works.
I have the AT&T version and I flashed the zip.
Works much better now.
Have you guys tried the XPOSED module Viper4Android app? I believe it has a way to boost the overall sound for headphones, phone speaker, Bluetooth, and USB Dock (all independently). It also has lots of other great sound tweaks too.
EDIT - Viper4Android isn't part of the xposed framework. It does require root, but otherwise is a regular app.

Afte rooting I installed Viper4Android and everything is amazing! I haven't ran Bluetooth but my headphone sound has increased 10 fold.
Compelling. I have hints of a minor problem with a wired headset volume. But I still feel there's no overwhelming evidence that returning to stock is completely dependable for the 850d.

I just wanted to clear up some mis-information. The Viper4Android app does not require the Xposed framework. I installed it while working with other modules and incorrectly associated it with xposed in my mind. But it is a freestanding app, not related to xposed. It does however require root privileges.
I just wanted to mention that since I posted some inaccurate information above.....

When youre connected to a BT device the volume control is for that BT device or connection.
I am on a custom ROM by Fulmics and my BT volume for calls is about 1/3 as loud as for streaming media.
Notifications are normal, it started when ringtone was quieter when BT was on, rings through BT and barely through phone, previously it rang loud on phone and just noticeable on BT... I use the BT for work and I can't have me not hearing what support is instructing me to do on a service call...
Will look into dev mode and tweaks and see if something is there to correct this low volume.
Yes I noticed this and there is a build.prop perameter that can be changed it's called : ro.lge.bt_gain_control_factor
I belong the factory setting is 0.8 I have mine set to 1.4 without issue but YMMV

Hey guys! A few days ago my pebble arrived. After pairing my pebble to my phone I noticed a noticeable drop in Bluetooth audio quality.
This has to be a problem that's addressed. I don't know if it's a android problem or just the device specific but what I found out is that this occurs on the LG G4 as well. Seems happen when your phone is paired with a Bluetooth LE device while also paired to a Bluetooth Audio device.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I've got a Pebble as well and haven't experienced anything like that. I've had the phone and the watch together since about a week after the phone's launch. What sort of audio device and what audio app are you using? Also, what apps do you have on your Pebble and what Pebble-related apps are on your phone?
I have a Jaybird X2 and I'm running a bus app and tweeble. Only using the stock pebble time app on the phone.

Hmm. I have no suggestions, then. Plus, I only have the original Pebble, not a Pebble Time, so I can't speak to any differences.
Hey everyone, has anybody experienced significantly poorer bluetooth performance with the S7 than with others? At first I thought it was my headphones as I had gotten a new pair or inexpensive but well reviewed headphones (Mpow Wolverine) at the same time as the new phone. They barely keep their connection and clip audio with the most minor of obstruction or even being @ 10' away. I then tried an older set of BT headphones which worked flawlessly with my previous phone (Moto X Pure) and I was having the EXACT same problem. I don't have problems pairing with devices; my car, Echo, watch. These are very close and line of site when in use and they don't move relative to the phone when in use.
Does the BT radio in this phone just suck, or do I have a defective unit?
I use Bluetooth every day and have never had an issue.

There's several threads on this subject here in the S7 forums.
Some people have issues, others don't. Some have issues with Wi-Fi if Bluetooth is enabled, others don't. Some have issues with new BT headphones, others only with old, others don't.

Use bt headset every day and haven't had any problem.
I had issues with my Sennheiser Momentum 2 wireless, sent them back to Sennheiser to see if they can fix it. They also had similar issues on an iPhone but not as bad as with the S7.
I'm noticing static when wearing BT headphones and making any sort of twisting motion with my head even though the phone is like 1 foot away in my pocket. I'm very concerned how this will affect using the BT headset while bikeriding
I'm having bluetooth pairing issues with my 930F international exynos S7 flat. It won't detect most of my devices. My S6 Active detected & paired with them all and connected quickly to all paired devices.
Elsewhere I read to force stop Bluetooth Sharing then clear app data & cache. Did so and haven't noticed any difference.
Hi I seem to have a problem with sound when using wired headphones for music. When I increase the volume to the top of scale the sound changes slightly / volume and tone. The left speaker goes quieter at one point until I click up to the top level. I need to check whether this occurs on external volume and bluetooth headphones...
I'm actually sure I received a small electric shock from the right earphone a couple of days ago too - it wasn't static as I was sat at my desk and hadn't moved!
Is anyone else experiencing this or is it likely I have a duff example?
thanks
Anyone in the UK changed phones from Samsung directly in store?

Using a UK G955F and don't have the same issue. Are you just using the phone stock? No viper or atmos installed?
Edit: Don't suppose you have a spare set of headphones to rule out the phone or the AKG's being the cause?

Just checked with the older white samsung earphones and same issue. No Viper or ATMOS.
I've just reported to Samsung and they have set up a remote fault investigation tomorrow evening.
It feels like a hardware issue but even if it is can Samsung rep in CPW stores exchange samsung devices or will I at minimum need to go to an experience store (not one locally but do have a CPW!).

Good luck with it mate, surely they can swap it if it is defective as you are likely still within the 14 day cool off period.

I'm having as similar issue. The right side of my headphones are low.

So I've tried my bluetooth headphones that work fine.
The phones speaker works fine.
It seems to be a problem using the plugged in earphones - not just the supplied ones either. The issue is def just at the top of the volume scale - turn it up to the top level and sound in right side decreases a little and tone changes.
Will update after this evenings call.
After speaking to Samsung they want to exchange it but their stocks are low already so exchange being done on Tuesday.

Guys i want to share u what i faced n how i solved the problem on s8+ akg earphone. My akg earphone in the left ear did not played with full bass only small treble was there while right was working fine. Then i played a song on vlc on my computer on 250% sound and blew a small hole present just below the main hole with my full capacity for 5 6 times... n bang!!! It was playing allright like n new one. I don't know it will work for others but i wanted to share this. Thanks
Hi
Right speaker becomes quieter than left one when volume increases greater than 88.
Is it a software problem.
I reset my phone twice.

Hi guys,
My HTC U11 has a strange behaviour whenever is connected via bluetooth to my car audio system (Mercedes Comandonline NTG 4.5), resulting in a delay in answering the phone calls either using the car commands or answering to the phone directly; sometimes the call is answered to the phone but on my car system the phone is still ringing and only after few seconds I can hear the caller in the car speakers. The first connection with the car system when I am getting in the car is delayed as well.
I tryed already to unpair and pair back the phone with the car. I tryed to use another ROM (custom rooted ROM), but the result is the same: the delay is still there.
Now I'm back to the official ROM.
I am mentioning that my car system is genuine and I had been using it before with no issues together with HTC M9 and Samsung S7 Edge.
Does anybody have an ideea about this issue ?
Thanks
I have this, too, intermittently. Only noticed it after software 1.28.617.30. Maybe this is the issue.
I have previously experienced delayed BT audio only when watching a YouTube video, but I think all European cars suffer the same.
My HTC One M8 had no issues in my W203 but did in my W205. A MB firmware upgrade helped.
Since using my U11 I still have the delayed video audio, but the calls and connections have been ok.
I’d check again for you but my W205 is at the repair shop after a parked Hit and Run.
It’s due back in 3-4 weeks so I can test for you if you still need help.

I have a delay also with bluetooth calls in my truck. It's annoying, I say hello and they say hello, we do not here each other for 3 or 4 seconds at first. I also see a delay when watching videos with Bluetooth headphones. I have the US Unlocked version
I have noticed the same issue after the latest update. It happens with Bluetooth, headphones, and regular speakers. It develops the delay randomly, and doesn't go away until a reboot. I have tried several ROMs based on the latest firmware with multiple kernel setups, and I get the same result.
Definitely a problem with HTC's latest release, if you ask me.

Today I tried an iPhone 7 with my car system via bluetooth and there was no issue or delay, so my conclusion is that the issue is related to the phone or software and not the MB car system.
