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.

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.
Additional comments are welcome.
I'd say the phone has excellent call quality, it's loud and crisp, I couldn't ask for more really.
Bump.
whoever voted poor must be an iphone user
I haven't voted until I make more calls but of the three I've made, every person said my voice was choppy. I find it hard to blame the network because I have full signal and there were no complaints on my previous phone. The only difference is I had to switch to a micro sim but I dunno how that could be an issue.
I've made a few calls so far and all sounded fine.
The volume wasn't as loud as other phones but the sound was clear.
I've run into what might be a problem on my phone. When I send or receive a call, the first few seconds the other person on the line couldn't hear me. Then the sound would slowly increase till it was normal. I only have two bars where I'm at, so I'm hoping it's bad reception. Funny my wife has a moto x and she has full bars and the call quality is excellent. Oh,I can hear the other people loud and clear. Maybe it's my microphone.

Yeah the X is my first one, its call quality is superb. I was expecting the N5's to be pretty bad considering everything I've read about LG (the N5 is my first LG as well) but it's actually pretty good. Quite pleased.
I have a call quality issue. My voice sounds terrible to the person I'm talking to. I've left myself voicemails to confirm.
This isn't necessarily a problem with the phone. I think most noise cancelling systems are confused by the specific tone of my voice, and end up trying to cancel pieces of it.
I had the same issue on the Galaxy S3. The S3 had a setting in the dialer app to disable noise reduction and that fixed my issue. I have not found a setting like that on the N5.
As a test, I put my finger over the noise cancelling microphone and left myself a voicemail and I think it sounded better. But that was only 1 test, so I'm not certain about that yet.
comparing to the iPhone 5S, 5 and other devices I've used that I think were great. It's on par. I'd say excellent.
Ive experienced excellent call quality, both on regular netwrok, and VOiP with GrooveIP
compared to my desire hd the nexus 5 is like talking face to face. I always had issues with the htc and i was told people were talking mostly to their echoes and not to me.
This is the best phone, call quality wise, that I've had since my last dumb-phone.
I'm a little confused; however... I don't see a pole.

Hey guys, I've currently got the note 3 and absolutely love it. The only problem is that when at the gym and outside, the note 3 is a bit too wieldly to use as a music player. It keeps falling out of my pocket during sets and kind of kills the vibe.
I've got an iPod 5th gen but after getting back to android, I use it less than an hour per week. So I guess my question is: do you think the Moto X would be a good alternative to the IPod as a music player and to have a glance at notifications? It's a good size and is very pocketable. I also plan to use it as a backup phone when travelling and camping.
Im selling my iPod on eBay so I'll be using that money to possibly buy a Moto X on eBay. Some of the phones on eBay have a bad ESN but I live here in Aus so will that affect me at all?
Sorry if its a bit long but thanks in advanced guys

If you are looking at a music player for the gym, I would honestly say that something like an iPod shuffle or a SanDisk player might be better....
Now as a phone I think you will really like this device! Active notifications and touch less controls really make this phone unique. Plus the curved back and dimple in the back of the phone make it have a truly amazing form factor. Specs don't look the greatest on this device, however they don't exactly site what you are getting either.
For a music player, and just using this as a dedicated gym device I personally don't see the point (not trying to sound rude). As a phone I would say this would be an amazing device if you are willing to give up the screen real estate and S-pen.
All and all I wish you the best of luck in your decision as I do understand the problem you are having and that you want to look after your devices. Just my two cents though. I wish you a good day.

Thanks heaps for the reply. I didnt see it rude at all.
But yeah that's true, I would probably be better off just using one of my old iPods for the gym but wanted to use the Moto X for when I'm out and about. The note 3 is just a bit annoying to keep having to remove from my jeans just to change the song.
I still want to use the note 3 as my main device buy just have the Moto X as my dedicated music player and backup phone. Now I'm kind of doubting if its a good idea. What do you think? I might see how much the iPod sells for then decide from there.

Tough call. With the announcement of Motorola dropping the price to $300, it very well might be worth it if you can justify the price.
I did the opposite of you, switched to the Moto X and kept my Note 2 as a tablet/backup phone.
My Moto X is my daily driver (coming from an S4...). I use it at the gym for music and watch downloaded TV shows (when on cardio machines). I find the X is great at the gym because of the active notifications - just need to hold the notification to see who it is + subject, let go and screen goes off and it's back in my pocket.
Sound isn't quite as good as the S4 with the same headphones - using something like PowerAmp you can adjust the EQ to get desired fidelity.
Swapping Sims will be an issue ....different sizes.....no?

Yeah I saw that deal and was really excited but then I realised that its only for the US. I live here in Australia so it doesnt work for me unfortunately.
The Moto X must be really good because iv'e even heard of people moving from the note 3. Sounds like a great device for a great price.

I was actually thinking of getting the Moto G at first, but when looking up prices on eBay, I can get a brand new Moto G for around $250 AUD or I can get a used Moto X with a bad ESN for around the same price (including shipping).

Sorry I didn't read all the replies, but my girlfriend got me some bluetooth headphones last year for Christmas to use on the treadmill. I like listening to music but don't care for armbands or holding my phone in my pockets, so it I put it in the small cubby space on the treadmill. This required a rather long headphones cord to keep from pulling the headphones out of my ears.
I was skeptical about the BT headphones but they work great. There aren't super fancy ones, maybe $50, but they work very well and have player controls built in, as well as a phone functions, but I've never used the phone functions.
It allows me to set the phone down with my water bottle and not worry about it. I use the "gym" (can't really call it that) at my apartment so I just leave it sitting with my jacket (it's a pretty small room), but if you just move it from machine to machine it would work fine, in my opinion.
It would also allow you to keep your stuff on the note and not have to swap devices around etc. Just my thoughts.

Yeah I really don't want to have to keep swapping data between the two phones so sounds greeat. The Moto X sounds perfect for gym use.
Now my only problem is that on further research, I found out that the Sprint version of the Moto X is CDMA and down here in Aus, we only use GSM. The only Moto X's in my price range are all Sprint versions with a Bad ESN. Im wondering if I am better off:
1) Buying the Moto x and not being able to use it as a backup phone (which isn't really important but would be a very nice option). Unless there is a way to use it here?
2) Buy a brand new Moto G
3) Buy a second hand HTC One with a bad speaker (needs replacing)
EDIT: 4) Buying a Moto X that has a smashed screen and wont turn on, hoping to fix it
All of these options fit my budget but really not sure on which one would be best. Anyones thoughts would be greatly appreciated
3 of those 4 options sound terrible. LOL. Get a new Moto g then. The only sensible option of the 4 you listed.

Or, you could save a tonne of money and just buy a good Bluetooth headset dongle like the Sony SBH-50, pair it to the Note 3, plug in your favourite pair of headphones, and get the best of all worlds. A small OLED screen for track info and caller id, volume,play/pause/next buttons,and a mic. It's under $80 CDN, so definitely in your price range. Lol.
A separate $300+ device to keep in sync and swapping SIM cards all the time? Is that really worth the hassle?

I was implying buying a pair of bluetooth headphones instead of a new device. Pair the headphones with the Note you already have and just don't keep it in your pocket. Then you don't have to swap devices, and you can listen to music, etc. Spend $100 on a nice pair of headphones instead of a few hundred on a phone that you'll only use for music.

Try something like the LG HBS-700. They are often on slickdeals for $40 or so shipped. Or here http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronic...TF8&qid=1390925651&sr=1-2&keywords=LG+HBS-700 (slightly different model)
However if you're doing a lot of running you may prefer the type that twist around your ears
The ones my girlfriend got me for Christmas are these, or very similar to these: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Accessories-SHB6017-28-Bluetooth/dp/B00560YMPI
She got them last year on sale, so I know she didn't pay that much for them.
They work very well because they do clip on to each ear and there is only a cord between them, so it doesn't bounce around on your head when you move or run. Sound quality is great and the battery lasts for quite a while. I use it for an hour or two on days when I work out and usually charge twice a week. Charges to full in about an hour, I believe.
So they'll be promoting the new Moto Hint as part of the Moto X 2014. It's compatible with "any" BT phone, but hyped for Moto X '14 due to its listening capabilities.
$140 for an ear bud, just to make calls. If this thing played music, i'd be more interested.

I do wonder how much of the Jarvis functionality will be available with conventional bluetooth headsets.. Sure I might have to press a button to activate, but that isn't the end of the world. 3.3 hours of battery life is completely useless unless you like to carry it in your pocket until you plan to use it, then maybe.. I LOVE the concept and the always-on always-listening feature, but I see very limited use-cases for it..

i remember when BT earpieces were becoming more popular... there were some really premium models on the market, many cost more than the Hint will. Since then, vehicles have been including BT controls in the car and they've become less relevant.
to this day, when i see anyone with their BT headset in, i wonder just how important they must feel about themselves to warrant having that constantly in their ear.
Well. Regardless of price, they are still cheaper than buying a car if one's current car does not have BT. Also if one wants to feel important, perhaps not one that is barely visible?
And a friend who is an oncologist really recommends it. Probably exaggerated, but hey....
I find that this in combination with the watch should be a great replacement for looking at your phone while driving. Look at your wrist, which is in front of you anyway. Hear alerts, messages and directions in your ear. Especially those who text while driving or look at their phone for navigation. Otherwise I don't care if people I don't know think I'm silly for talking to my phone. if I don't know them, they don't matter
Im not sure I understand the hatred people have towards using Bluetooth headsets. If I'm shopping, running errands, getting in and out of the car, having both my hands available is practical and invaluable

meh. unless i'm on-call, answering the phone is not my priority. my mom even texts me.
the hint's integration with OK Google is nice and handy and would be beneficial when i'm walking the dog or out riding, but i typically have my headphones in so that i can listen to music, so a BT device is moot (for me).

I'll be using the Moto with my old $30 HX550. OK, so I have to push a button on my ear. I'm cool with that to save $150 on a new ear-blob.
I thought about a hint, but the fact I cant get it in the same color as my X turned me off. Well, the price too. but I'd be willing to over pay a BIT if it matched my device.

That is preposterous....
Almost all of the reviews I have for the Moto Hint were by people using it with a phone other than Motorola. And they usually complained about not having a the Motorola features available.
So am I wondering if anyone can give their experience using the Hint with the turbo. I would also be interested if you are using another tiny (this part is important) headset that you are really happy with.

I've got the moto hint and it works great with Moto voice. The battery isn't very large (about two hrs of actual phone talking) and the volume could be better, but if you aren't in a noisy environment it's perfect. The noise cancellation is far superior to using a mic on a corded headset but not quite as good as using the Turbo proper. Assuming you take the headset out when not talking and place it in it's charging box, it can last all day. It connects instantly and hands off flawlessly as far as I can tell. Style-wise, it is pretty discreet, but still noticeable.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Bought one from Best Buy and promptly returned it. Worst headset I ever used, sound quality (send AND receive) was miserable, didn't fit comfortably and barely worked with Moto's own apps. I replaced it with a Voyager Edge, got some $ back and so glad I did. YMMV, just my 2 cents.
Thanks for the feedback. Confirms my concerns. Maybe I will buy one from a store that allows returns just to try it out.
The second generation is way better than the first Gen. I liked it you should check it out.
i just got rid of my first gen and picked up a second gen...much better! A lot less tinny sounding and seems to fit a little better too.
