Something I noticed today while driving was my Bluetooth audio would cutout every few minutes. It only happened on my Nexus 5 with an alpha ROM, but was fixed later. Anyone else notice this?

On the new moto x? No, I just had a couple hour car ride with zero issues listening to Play Music and Slacker Radio. Made a few calls, no issues either.
This happened to me on a 20 mile bike ride. Horrible having choppy audio for almost a few hours
I just noticed this too. I do have a Moto 360 as well so maybe that is messing with the blueooth? I have gone a couple car rides and it's perfect, and others it's really choppy.
This does seem to be a problem with me too. Sometimes perfect and sometimes not. When connected to Bluetooth I notice that Google maps speaker goes in and out as well as moto voice while driving
I can confirm that if you have a 360 this is the cause. You can verify this by disconnecting the 360 through wear and the problem going away. For now what I have due is set up an IFTT to disconnect wear when by car's Bluetooth is connected.
I actually don't have anything else connected via Bluetooth and it still happens to me.
I figured it out. I was driving and I turned off Bluetooth completely and the voice worked perfectly. As soon as I connected back to Bluetooth the voice got choppy again...
I looked over in the Note 3 forums, and users were experiencing the same thing. Someone said to listen to music with the screen on to fix it. Today I listened to music with the screen left on and sure enough my music didn't stutter once the whole car ride.
This leads me to think either the processor is getting clocked too low for playing music through A2DP when the screen is off, or perhaps active display makes it stutter whenever it activates. I will look into it further today.
In the mean time, does anyone know of a processor control app that will change the minimum processor clock if bluetooth is connected? Perhaps there is one with a tasker plugin.
I'm experiencing the same issue, really sucks.... I'll try disconnecting the Moto360 on my drive today and see if that fixes it - although I swear I've had the issue before while it wasn't connected.

SetCPU could possibly do this. You can definitely set the minimum CPU clock, but I'm not a 100% whether you can get it to do this WHEN a bluetooth device is connected. SetCPU has a profiles where you can define certain parameters based on conditions.
Of course, before you can get SetCPU working you'll need to root your phone and I have a suspicion that all other CPU clock apps will need root access too.
Has anyone had any luck resolving this?

I'm hoping that either an OTA or Android L will fix this. My Moto X is fine when I'm using my Motorola S11-HD headset, but when connected to my car it goes in and out every few seconds.
So it isn't the processor. So far i have it down to either Wi-Fi or active display. Will report more when i find it.
Turning Wi-Fi off while connected to my car Bluetooth has fixed the issue for me. At least, so far it has.
I'm using PowerAMP for playing music and when I enabled the "high priority" setting in the headphone/bluetooth settings it seems to have resolved the problem until today. This morning on the way from work it started to cut out every few seconds. grrrr...
I have 2 bluetooth adapters in my car, one which takes only phone audio and one which takes phone and media audio, the latter one continously drops and reconnects phone audio (even after forgetting the other device), which makes me believe it is some hardware compatibility issue
I have posted on the official Motorola Forums but I though I should re-post here as well becuase well....XDA fixes things.
So I just purchased a Moto X 2nd Gen Pure Edition as an upgrade to My 1st Gen Moto G. Both phones have the same problem with the Bluetooth Audio sounding like a scratched CD skipping and studdering and it seems to be way worse a problem on the Moto X than I ever had on the Moto G. It's not buffering it happens with music on the phone. It doesn't happen every time I'm in the car but I'd say 50% of the time.
I would think it's the car but before the Moto G I owned a Galaxy Nexus and never had the problem as far as I remember. I'm sure I would remember it's really really annoying. I have even tested with a friends HTC M8 over a long road trip and there seemed to be no issue there. In my car (2011 Subaru Impreza) with the G or X after a time it eventually starts skipping even if it takes a couple hours.
So I did some research before and have tried various things.
I have disabled the Wifi while connecting to BT as Motorola has recommended to owners of other phones. That didn't help them it doesn't help me.
I have removed all other BT devices from the phone while connected. Nope
I have removed the Phone in the profile so my car doesn't try to use it as a phone as well at the same time. Nothing
I have done all of the above at the same time stopped every other program other than Google Music and added the phone to my car fresh and I still have this issue.
During my research about my car the only complaints similar I found seem to come from someone else with Moto phones. I dont' know what they do special with their Bluetooth but it's not helping me out.
You could try to upgrade your car's firmware. Some dealers do this for free, with some cars it is easy to do yourself

This is what fixed the audio in my Mustang with Sync. The Ford dealership did not charge me anything for them to do it.

I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with their speakers on the Nexus 6 when receiving calls or messages?
Randomly my ringtones & notifications come in crackling as if the speakers are blown. It doesn't happen much but it's kinda annoying. I think the speakers are fine because playing music or watching videos at max volume sounds great.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated
I have also had this issue. I'm running stock rooted with no mods. Would like to hear If anyone else is having this issue as well. Also would this issue be addressed in the new 5.0.1 update?
I am having issues hearing the conversion tone when sending or receiving messages via WhatsApp. The notification rings but within a chat it doesn't play any sound. Is this happening to anyone else? It's driving me crazy.
Same thing here. Especially with FB Messenger.
There definitely seems to be some static or degradation on some of the notification sounds and ringtones. I noticed the same thing.
I think it has an overactive EQ/Preamp type of ordeal going on. I think there is some sort of software built in that is trying to act like a DSP to save the speakers. For Example just turn up your volume to max and keep hitting the up volume. You will probably notice the volume beep will change volume several times throughout that. it will also be noticeable when playing music.
I have also noticed some strange crackling that I never had on previous Nexus devices. I am certain it is software and hope for an update to resolved it. I also noticed that many of the things going through the speakers slowly get louder. For instance, hit the speakerphone button while in a call and it starts at like 50% volume and goes to max in about 5 seconds. Kind of a strange fade up that I haven't had before...

I also noticed the gradual increase in volume on everything including alarms. Glad it's a common issue that will hopefully be addressed in a future software update.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I am having an issue with the stereo speakers on my Nexus 6. Every time I listen to music, watch a you tube video or watch a movie on my nexus 6 device, I notice that when I put it on maximum volume it will get loud then suddenly drop down to between 30 to 50%. I'm not sure what is the deal with that, but I can tell you its freaking annoying. Also been having issues with the fade in as well.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Since updating to 5.0.1 I've noticed that my original problem hasn't been happening for calls or alarms. It still does happen with the clock app though. What version are you on?
Ever since i updated to 5.0.1

I would like to see some of the Viper4Android users chime in. I am hoping V4A fixes all these issues...
What is the probem??

anyone had this issue sorted yet. today i noticed while using speaker phone there is a static sound and low voice volume any ideas
Viper did not fix the issue
I'm thinking its hardware as I have tried stock and benzo ROM. Nothing seems to fix my low volume issue
Mine does this after flashing kernels or roms sometimes. A clean flash back to stock then reflash rom/kernal with extreme beats fixes it. I've had 3 nexus 6s and they all did this. Even when I flash stock image it don't sound quite right until I flash extreme beats 4.1. Viper has only caused problems for me.
Crackle is noticeable
I noticed the crackle sound straight out of the box simply by testing out some ringtones. This had me disappointed but even worse if I start to think I got a defective unit. It's weird because the problem does not happen very often and it's an issue that I can't demonstrate so easily, but it's there. Reading this post about people having the same problems makes me believe that there could be a update or software solution. By the way, playing music sounds great, the thing happens mostly with game sounds and ringtones.
I'm facing issues with Google Play music intermittently on pausing the track. Once paused, it doesn't start playing it. The app shows 'playing' (the pipe icon shown) but it actually doesn't play anything. To fix it, the app needs to be closed from recent apps and then has to he started again.
I downloaded Black Player and it also behaves similarly every now and then. Sometimes, the volume becomes so feeble that I can't hear anything below 8 or 10 volume units (of the total 15).
I noticed this after the January security update and am wondering if anyone else is also facing similar issue (on Stock Unrooted ROM)
Hi,
I bought a new N7+. But I noticed that whenever I plug my headphones, the music starts playing through the speaker instead of the heaphones. I tried with various headphones that I have. Has this happened to others too? Is there a fix for it? Do you think this is hardware issue or software bug?
Have returned the phone in warranty and awaiting a new one.
Please do let me know.
Same issue. But it happened only after the May update. The issue goes away if you reboot the phone with the headset plugged in.

I'm not sure about Android P, but this is most certainly a software issue. It only started after I applied the May security patch.
Haven't had time to escalate this to Nokia yet, but when I do I'll updated here what they had to say.

Do you think this is happening to many other users too? Because I didn't find any thread related to this so thought it's only me & a faulty piece.
This is quite a serious bug if software related and if it's been 3 months already, surprising that no one's talking about it. the 3.5mm jack is one of the most important reasons why I went for this & didn't wait for the MI A2.
I think the only reason this isn't a big deal is because the issue is random. It happens to me once in 2-3 days.
Strangely enough, today it happened while I was connected to my car via Bluetooth. The audio was playing on the phone's speakers. But a re-start fixed it.
Yeah same thing happening to me also is there any solution?

On the 1st day that I got the phone it happened to me 4 times in 24 hours. But I guess it's because I am always on my headphones throughout the day.
I can't keep restarting the phone every single time it happens.
Same goes for bluetooth. I have to lower the volume every time I start the music because sometimes it just does not route the audio to the headset. Had a couple of embarassing moments in the office... Also noticed that if I watch a movie and switch between apps back and forth, when I resume the playback the phone starts to play the audio on both the phone and on the headset for a couple of seconds, also very anoying..
I got the OTA and one of the issues I ran into was actually listening to any media app ( Spotify, Youtube, YT Music, etc. ). Whenever I turn the screen off, the audio stops and when you wake the screen to unlock it has a terrible slowdown. I tried this in Safe mode and even factory reset and the issue is still there. I does not happen with the screen on if you're watching a video, etc. only when the screen goes off. Anyone else having this problem?
Edit: I think I found and workaround for this and was driving me crazy cause I listen to a lot of podcast/music whie driving Go to settings/system/developer options/default usb configuration/ and switch it to " no data transfer ". DO NOT tick any other option.
Yes, I am having the same problem, and since I use a wired headset for work calls all day, this is a significant problem.
Your work-around appears to work, but this needs to get fixed.
I have the exact same problem on my Pixel 6 since the March update, identical symptoms including the massive slowdown, and it's infuriating. While doing tests to try to find a work around it suddenly also blasted to 100% volume for some reason causing hearing damage.
April update fixed this issue.
