I've got a New Potato Tunelink I've been using with my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus successfully for about a year. Since that time I've gone through several ROMs and Android versions, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and now 4.3. Bluetooth audio always worked fine with Pandora, Google Music and Pocket Casts.
I got a Verizon Moto X yesterday and while I can pair it with the Tunelink and it plays, music skips, stutters and is unlistenable. Voices sound worse, they're low or deep and also skip and stutter.
I've Googled and found lots of "bluetooth stuttering" threads all over (like this one) but none of the things I've tried have improved the audio. I've turned off wifi, changed wifi settings, tried it with and without the battery saver turned on. I took it out of the box and set it up yesterday, I doubt a factory reset would do anything for me.
I can plug in the stereo minijack and it sounds fine but the Tunelink was supposed to stop the inconvenience of that and did, until the Moto X.
Any ideas? Anyone experiencing the same issue?
I've been using J3 Bluetooth headphones and the moto x has been performing better than my GS4 did. I can put the phone down at my gym and walk 30 feet away and it doesn't skip or degrade.
I don't think it's the phone.
Have you tries re-pairing?

Yes, re-paired several times. If I go back to the Galaxy Nexus it sounds fine.

Just to be clear, I have the Verizon variant of Moto X also. Have you considered trying a replacement Moto x?
Also, the Moto X is bluetooth 4.0 and the Galaxy Nexus is 3.0. Could it be that your headset doesn't play nice with 4.0?

I haven't considered a replacement yet, the fact the stores don't have them is a factor.
Good point about 3.0/4.0, the specs on the Tunelink don't specify, I'll contact them.

Good luck!
Yeah - no problem here as well... Do you have another blu tooth device you can try with?

I have my Galaxy Nexus which works fine.
I ordered this and it should be here today to test out.
I have the same issue with a Motorola Roadster 2. Static is pretty bad when on the phone with other people.
The Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit arrived yesterday and works great. It seems to be the X with the Tunelink. I actually like the Kinivo better as it also allows phone calls and the remote/mic allows me to start/stop music and podcasts.
I also have a Tunelink and am having the same stuttering issue with the audio. Works great with my Nexus 4. Not so much with the Moto X.
+1 for the diagnosis of the Tunelink not playing nice with bluetooth 4.0
I also am experiencing issues with my Moto X and bluetooth. Something tells me it is due to the custom bluetooth 4.0 implementation that Motorola used for Android 4.2.2. I figure that the only "real" fix will be waiting for the 4.3 OTA to add official support.
I tried everything under the sun to resolve my issues. I did a factory reset, un-paired and re-paired, tested on multiple devices and even did a RMA with Verizon. I called up Motorola prior to the RMA and told them about the issue and they said that it was a defective unit. I'm planning on calling them again today to let them know they have an actual issue with at the very least the verizon moto x.
As a follow-up, while my new Bluetooth unit does not stutter and sounds great, my phone now consistently reboots itself after pairing but not until I initiate playing something.
Thankfully the phone reboots quickly.
I am going to wait till the first OTA is released and see if it resolves the issue or not.....if it still has the problem then I'll have to try a 3rd RMA.
I have LG stereo headset, jlabs crasher speaker, and an eclipse headunit and i dont' have any issues with playback. Are you just letting things play or are you messing with the device while playing music? I know on both my Moto X (vzw) and GS3 i'd get some stuttering some times if the phone was under some heavy usage.
I'm experiencing stuttering on my VZW Moto X DE with my Tunelink as well. I had stuttering on my GNex on one version of 4.2.x but all other builds worked fine and it got much better when I upgraded to 4.3, so I'm hoping a new Moto X 4.3 rom will fix this...
Add me to the list of people having the stuttering issue with the Moto X (GSM Dev Edition) and the TuneLink Auto BT unit. Frustrating as hell. I hope the KitKat upgrade fixes it.
Bump. Tunelink is stuttering for me too. Must be incompatible. My tune link is wired to the headphone jack (not using FM transmitter). Sucks.

Not tunelink related but when listening to my Moto X in car with my Alpine UTE-42BT I notice a crazy amount of skipping/stuttering. Doesn't mater what music player I use. If I turn the device off and restart it seems to fix it for a brief time.
I created a post here about my issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48496071#post48496071
Anyone else having the same problems or have a solution it's driving me insane!?
apologies i forgot about this thread. i bought my TuneLink over two years ago. i emailed them and they are honoring my warranty by sending out a new revision of the device. its one they're currently working on releasing and i've been on a waiting list to get it.
so far i've sent in my current device and they sent me the same revision. i'm still waiting on the new device, which is supposed to take care of all issues. I have a Vizio soundbar at home and i have no stuttering issues. looking forward to the update.
Anyone here used a "Designed for iphone/ipod" headset with their Moto X? I've been looking at headphones to use with the X and my (Windows) laptop, and want to retain the microphone capability.
Note: I don't care about the button functionality.
However, it's unclear whether the mic on a "designed for i-device" headset will work on the X.
To answer my own question, the mic works. Tested specifically with the Klipsch Image One (II) which are labelled as "Made for i-device".
As an aside, the bass on these was waaay too much for my tastes. Very comfortable though.
Hi, everybody. I'm really interested in this phone but it has been difficult to find if this phone have stereo speakers or not. I hope you guys can tell me..
It seems that the new moto g does have it, but apparently this phone don't
To me as a customer, I thought that both phone should have a stereo speakers. Anyway this is the flagship!
Can you clear this out please?
Thanks.
Paulo.
It does not have stereo speakers.

Even being moved to the back, many users reported that it's louder than the Note 3.

Hello,
My Moto G 2014 isn't detecting my Xiaomi Piston 2.0 earphones, but the ones Motorola packed with the phone works [They aren't really great though]. Is there any way I could make my Piston 2.0 earphones work with my phone or what's the best, compatible earphones for Moto G 2014?
Thanks! :good::good:
Dont know about the xiomi pistons
But having no issues with my sennheiser cx-215 though

Does Sennheiser cx215 sound great? Would you recommend 'em?
Yes, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
A tad bit heavy on wallet, for sure.
But if sound quality is a must, you should definetly check it out
EDIT; If you can stretch out your budget a bit more, be sure to check sennheiser cx300 II out too

Can't really help you man. Someone in the piston xda forums advised me this converter. I haven't bought it because as you said in the pvt message, chinese suppliers take a looonggg time to dispatch their products. Thus no point. I can't find any converter here in India too. I don't think anyone here sells it.
Anyways let me know if you find something. I'll appreciate it.
Samsung ear buds work fine.. The button control doesn't work though!
TRy the Sony MH 750 . Mic and answer button works on my 1 gen Moto . Sound quality is not bad and easy on pocket . Make sure you get the original one and not the fake .

Thank you for answering. I've bought a Sennheiser earphones just now! :good::good:
Philips SHE3595 are working too.
Sent from Motorola Moto G (2nd Gen./XT1068/dual-sim)
I recommend Snab Overtone EP-81 M. Controls and mic works, metal body, thick cord and great powerful sound. Deep fully controlled bass, clear treble, mids slightly withdrawn, but still clear. The sound is addictive. I can not imagine ANY other headphones.
But... this is polish product.
Sony MH 750 are working fine, mic, one button.
Are there any 3 buttons headphones + mic compatible? Xiaomi Pistons 2 works but no vol+vol- buttons
Edit: never mind motorola said me thru chat that just one-button remote is supported...
my wife just got these http://www.amazon.com/audio-technica-smartphone-ATH-S100iS-BGR-Black-Green/dp/B00FFKJ3GM for her moto g 2014, one button ops with volume slider.
short press activates the music app, long press activates voice dialling
2 combos!
I suggest you the LG G2 headset with volume command and mic (or Samsung's S5 headphones), but if you have a MOTO 360 you can use Apple's In-ear headphones + play music controls on the wearable! These headsets are wired. You can find on amazon or other places Bluetooth headsets too!
Right now I'm using an Alpatronix HX110 + wearable controls. But in the end you have to decide your combo according to your tastes and your budget!

I also have done this. I was using an iPhone 5 with its earphones. Now with Android phones I'm using these earphones with my Moto 360.
Does anyone else not like the quality of the speakers? When playing games, the speakers sound muddled. The speaker in the Galaxy S4 sounds clearer. Are there any settings I can change to make things sound better, or are the speakers just poor?
Try to disable equalizer in sound settings

I think the speaker on the Droid Turbo totally sucks.
On the higher frequencys, it sounds really cheap.
I think the Moto X 2014's speaker is much much better.
As someone who owns a myriad of high end audio equipment and has about 35gb of FLAC music on his Turbo...
The speaker is actually pretty loud for media. Turn off the EQ like mentioned and it sounds just fine with MX Player and movies. Highs sound just like any other phone speaker which means they're not great but either is the low end. Coming from the One M7 this is a slight downgrade in quality but I've found that it's just as loud.
As many have pointed out, in calls the phone is too low. That's simply software tweaking, though.
As for the headphone jack, it actually puts out more power than the S5 and Moto X (2014) in terms of raw measurable current. With that being said it doesn't mean its any louder or clearer. With PowerAmp I'm content with the headphone jack. It powers my custom molded Triple Fi Pro's with ample headroom to spare. It also powers my Audio Technica headphones just fine.
Headphone SQ is right on par with any other stock software. Still way behind a phone with Viper Audio but I'm still hopeful it will come to us eventually

Im not getting the same results over here. :crying:
If I play the "Orion" and the "Moto" ringtones on the Moto X 2014 and on the Droid Turbo, they sound MUCH better on the Moto X 2014.
The Moto Assist, as the ringtones, screeches much more on the Droid Turbo than on the Moto X 2014.
Im really disappointed with that, because one of the main reasons that I bought this phone (as many) is the Moto Assist.
Listening some screeches at every ringtone, music, alarm, or Moto Assist use is painful.
I already went to a mall, and tested if the problem is on my unit, but I discovered that its a model issue. Already tried to turn off the audio EQ. It gets a bit better, but the screeches remain.
All the other stuff (screen, performance, battery life, etc) around this smartphone is perfect.

I resolve the crackling issue.
Just had to turn down the volume settings (they were at max), and the speaker stopped crackling.
I think they used a worse quality speaker on the Droid Turbo than on the Moto X 2014.
Yeah, it's never good to have a speaker at full blast whether a tiny phone speaker or high end monitor.
I know you mentioned that you tested other units but I'd still try another unit. Over on the AC forums there have been people complaining about the speaker and a new unit resolved the issue.
Software won't fix a hardware problem but I do think a lot of our small quirks will be fixed in future updates.
A bit off topic, but when using the speakers during a phone call, the other person can always hear an echo of their voice. This never happened on my Galaxy Nexus. Is this a problem that can be fixed via software or no?
My speaker on my turbo sounds just fine and I'm a bit of a audio freak.
I cant provide a precise answer, but surely is better than the nexus 4 ones.
