I have had a Motorola S9 through 3 phones and have had no problems, my first Imagio had no problems, my replacement Imagio however, when I am listening to music via the S9 the music gets choppy and cuts in and out. Has anyone had any issues with bluetooth on the Imagio?
I am having issues with my bluetooth hands free. In order to use it i have to have the phone within a foot or two and nothing in between for the sound to come through clear. I would also like to know if there is any kind of fix for this
I don't know if this will be any help...but here are some registry edits I did to clear up the stereo audio quality over bluetooth.
I also use the Motorola S9 headphones and have had no issues.
For me...the music seems to be crystal clear.
Let me know if it works for you...

You can always try a hard reset to see if that clears up the problem.
my phone did the same choppy play back then i went to verizons website and looked up the s9 head phones it come back not compatible i did not feel like calling verizon to confirm this tho.
i was think about stealing the headsets from my older son since he likes his $10.00 skullcandy ear buds they were on sale at target during christmas
I like sony earphone
i like sony too
3 plantronics BT headset that will not pair.
1 Samsung stereo headset that will not pair.
My Imagio sees my other phones, my wife's computer, Dell Axim, my Nextar BT hands free.
The problem don't appear to be with BT itself because it does seem to work. Why can't my Imagio pair with this stuff when other devices can?
Is it possible that the Imagio doesnt have a stereo or streaming audio profile?
I suppose i should try pairing my motorola stereo earphones and see for myself.
Hey guys,
I am having trouble connecting my Galaxy Note 10.1 and my bluetooth JBL onawake speakers.
They pair and connect but when I play music it doesn’t come through the speakers. It is definately paired as when they are connected the sound doesn’t come through the speakers of my Galaxy unless i disconnect the bluetooth.
I haven’t found any similar problems in other threads or troubleshooting so any help would be appreciated!
Hi Guys,
Bit of weird one here!
I've just bought a Neo M1 (http://www.neomobile.me/neo-m1-feature)
It really is an amzing device for the price but support is non existent and as its a new device there arent many forums/discussions available. My issues seems to be more Android/OS based (i think) so hoping someone can help.
When playing music through speakers with the 3.5mm jack its fine, perfect. But when using earphones, and ive tried many, the music sounds like its is muffled or playing certain channels only. Vocals are low, effects are high and it not useable. Ive tried diffrerent music players and equalizers but nothing is working! Has anybody ever heard of this? Surely if it can play fine thorugh speakers it should be able to via ear/headphones?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!!
Sanders.
have you checked to see if contacts are aligned properly?

I had the opposite effect on the iPod classic: with earphones/headphones, ok; thru jack connected to speaker/amp: muffled, distorted sound.
So had to use the Apple plug (wide plug connected at bottom) to connect to speaker/amp.
I guess it may be something to do with the impedance of the phone.
Would be interesting to know if others report the same issue, before I buy this phone.
If I stream music (Pandora, digitally imported) from my phone via Bluetooth audio to my car, and I also have my Gear S2 paired to my phone simultaneously, I can clearly hear distortion in the audio being received by my car, as if the bitrate is being forced lower. The distortion disappears as soon as my Gear S2 is disconnected.
Is having a Bluetooth audio device and a smart watch paired together a limitation of Bluetooth bandwidth? Any remedy or thoughts?
Note 5, 2013 Honda Accord.
I don't have a Gear S2, but I do use a Sony Smartwatch 3 while I'm streaming music from the Note 5 in my 09 Accord. I don't hear any loss in quality with that particular setup, nor did I with the LG G Watch.

I also have Note 5, and plan to buy Gear S2 soon!
So I wonder if the distortion always happens to you with Pandora, digitally imported?
How about just music app or other streaming services?
And which S/W are you using for Note 5?
I have Plantronics Backbeat Go 2. When I use the text reading option on Moon+ reader with the Samsung Gear S2 classic connected, the audio keeps popping and is choppy. If I disconnect the watch from Bluetooth, audio is fine. Tried FBreader and problem also evident. Using wired earphones does not have a problem. Did not have this problem with my Pebble Steel.
Samsung Note 4 using Wanamlite v3.2
Interesting I use a Sony BT headset and must admit it doesn't sound as good lately, coincidentally around the time I got my S2 - will test a bit
i have a s2 3g from Korea , when i stream music straight from watch A2DP bluetooth audio, sounds is choppy and cuts off , noticed its a range issue as if i put bluetooth headphones right next to gear s2 does not cut out, anybody have this issue?
Nope, gear s2 paired to phone and streaming Pandora. No issues on my Chevy Impala..
Can confirm there is an impact, if I stream BT audio in my car with the S2 attached and then detach, you get a compressed type of effect.

I NEED this to be fixed!!!
Same problem here with the connection to my Mercedes Benz Vito Audio 20 hands free device. If my Galaxy s6 is connected to the gear s2 and to the Mercedes hands free I can answer the call, after a few seconds a can't hear the caller, but the caller still can hear me. If I disconnect my gear s2 classic during the call it immediately works fine. That's very annoying because every time I sit into my car I have to disconnect the gear s2 from the phone.

I have the exact problem with my Benz B160. Took me a while to figure out that it was my Gear S2 causing the problem of me not being able to hear the caller after a few seconds. Very frustrating ...
My works just fine, I do have the "phone audio" uncheck under my phone Bluetooth settings for the S2. HTC m9 on 14 Acura ILX. It answers calls on the car perfect.
Having the same issue with gear s2 and Verizon samsung galaxy s7 edge. Replicated with car and other bluetooth devices. As mentioned here, unpair gear s2 from bluetooth and music issues go away.

Any updates?
I long ago returned my Gear S2, but was this issue ever resolved for anyone? I understand there was a software update sometime in February - did that address any BT audio distortion issues? Thinking about trying the watch out again.
I just got a (new to me) Gear S2 and am experiencing these issues. When my phone (Galaxy S7 Edge) is connected to my watch and I get into my car, my car audio will pair, but when using hands free calling, the audio is extremely distorted and unusable. I never had this problem with my Pebble Time Steel.
Is there any sort of fix for this? It is INCREDIBLY annoying to have to disconnect my watch every time I get in the car, because I drive a lot. I am considering selling the watch if this is not remedied.
Same problem here with Gear S3 and Samsung S7 Edge.
Car model is a 2016 BMW F10.
Music sound is noticeably distorted when i stream to the car with the watch paired at the same time.
Android version: 6.0.1
time ago i read something about this issue when i had a s6 flat, and i confirm it is present also on a s7 edge, if i have my s2 connected to my s7 edge and my phone connected to my alpine i can hear the quality difference.
I suppose that the problem is related to the APTX protocol used to stream music, when the bluetooth channel is used only for music streaming you can use the APTX protocol and the sounds is good, when you connect a device using the bluetooth constantly the bandwith to use also the APTX protocol is not enough and the audio quality is scaled down.
This appen also on my wife's s6 flat paired with samsung charm... i think this is a big fail because in 2017 i have to disconnect my watch to listen my music

Here the discussion of this issue
Android 7.0 did not resolve this issue.
Same problem for me with my gear S3 and my Galaxy S8. Tried all streaming services.
Audio Bluetooth stream is very bad when the watch is connected.
This is not a problem with iPhone and Apple watch.
Same issue with a gear s2 watch paired with galaxy s7 phone and boes OE soundlink headset.
I've sent my watch to samsung twice for repair with the issue gettimg worse after the 2nd repair... I'm now waiting for their exchange/refund department.
So i noticed a severe decline in the music quality after i switched from my Z3 compact. Using Poweramp with all the EQ's disabled/flat (and all the samsung eq's off), i get constant minor treble crackling. Full volume and even half volume on the phone. It's really annoying. I have certain songs on my computer and Z3 that i've played so much that i know exactly how they should sound, and the S7 just makes it sound like ****. Has anybody else had this issue?
Do you have any other bluetooth devices connected to your S7, such as a Fitbit or Android Wear watch?
I'm using BT streaming to both my Sennheiser headphones and to my car, and have not noticed any worse sound quality compared to my previous S5.

I suffer with the same issue on my S6 and was hoping they'd fix it on the S7 but guess they don't care.
Thread about it for the S6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/poor-bluetooth-audio-quality-t3093236
TL;DR, If you disconnect the Pebble your bluetooth audio quality should be good.

Unfortunately, my car (100% of my use for bluetooth audio) does not use aptX so it sounds awful unless I disconnect my watch.

I also use two headphones that do not have aptX, but they sound perfect too.
after tuning off the bluetooth to my pebble and rebooting the phone, the sound came out fine through my ford sync stereo. i might as well use an aux cable to remedy this $700 phone's issue.
FWIW, there are two less intense ways to "refresh" the bluetooth audio connection:
1) Toggle the phone's bluetooth off and on.
2) (New to Marshmallow touchwiz) Bring down the notifications and you'll see "Audio path" on the right. Switch it and switch it back to the bluetooth output.
Thanks for the info everyone. I just upgraded from the s5 to the s7 and noticed a significant degrade in blue tooth audio streaming with my Ford sync system. Really upset me so a little Google search and discover.my moto 360 watch is the culprit. After I disconnect it my sound quality goes back to normal. Certainly a pain but at least it's resolved.

I have 2016 Lexus ES350 and I have recently started using Garmin Vivoactive HR+ fitness tracker that is connected via Bluetooth to my Samsung Galaxy S7. The bluetooth streaming quality dropped significantly. All music sounds flat even when the music player (Amazon Music) is set to highest quality. In rock music I barely hear hihats. High frequencies are distorted.
Are we supposed to go back to the auxiliary audio input jack again? What's up with this?
Thats because sony always use high quailty DAC's and sammy doesn't. same reason why sammy cant play high res audio.

I'm using S7 edge with viper4android and connect to my car bose system the sound looks amazing. ALso I use it with a audio-technica mx-50 and portable amplifier. with bluetooth I don't notice any issue, because mainly I connect to amplified sources. <With direct connection to the mx50 headphones definitly could be better, but I wouldn't say is really bad. I use flac and sometimes spotify in extreme quality.

Hi the same here, i had a HTC onex/onex+ and the last a LG G3 , the audio was fine when streaming mp3's from my phone, now with my brand new Galaxy S7,
there's so much distorsion that it's not earable, my car is Lexus CT200h(no navigation screen panasonic audio) , worse with waze or google maps i cant anymore ear vocal instructions for navigation except when streaming audio or during a phone call , not anymore when listening a cd in the carplayer as it used to be with all previous 3 phones
ps: i think there should be a "bluetooth" section in the real life thread , i dont know who is in charge of that sections,
i will put 1 star to bluetooth and audio listening and 1 star for audio when recording videos in Gigs i wouldnt buy the S7 if i knew that before
