Nokia MD-310 Bluetooth Receiver issue - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm loving my new Z3 Compact but ran into first annoying issue. I've been using Nokia Wireless Receiver to stream audio via bluetooth to my amplifier. It has worked well with my previous phones, iPad Air and also my wife's Galaxy S4 Black Edition that has KitKat installed.
With Z3 it connects and phone shows aptX device connected. Audio starts playing but cuts off and back constantly, almost like it loses connection every half a second or so. Tested Spotify and Radio FM to make sure it's not an app issue, same thing happens with both. I also got JBL Flip 2 speaker and bluetooth audio is crystal clear with that, no issues at all.
I'm a bit baffled because it doesn't seem to be an Android issue (Galaxy S4 working well), not an app issue and also bluetooth audio from Z3 works with other devices. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi. it seems like you and me are having the same problem except I have a z2. Previously I had a Xperia sp and that works fine with the Nokia receiver which leads me to believe it has something to do with aptX as my z2 works OK with other non aptX devices aswell.
Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I found that if you turn WiFi off it helps a little, but is still un-listanable to my ears

Htc One Bluetooth issues

Hello Everyone I am here to find some answers (hopefully)...
So I got the HTC One Coming from the Iphone 5. I've had numerous Android devices before, and apple products. I just recently also purchased a subaru wrx, it has bluetooth radio. When I had my iphone 5, i synced perfectly with the radio, hands free worked Awesome. When i got into the car my spotify or pandora would immediately start playing..
Now i get my htc one, and i pair my phone with the car, but my hands free audio sounds terrible, i can barely understand what the other person is saying. On top of that i have to manually connect the phone to bluetooth everytime i turn on my car, its very annoying. I have tried many different roms, and kernels, and i even went back to stock but i can't seem what the problem is. I am about to change the radio in the car thinking its not very user friendly with android devices.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I am pulling my hairs, i love the htc one, but i miss my handsfree bluetooth functionality. I have tried searching the forums, but i haven't found any answers that worked.
I am having the same issue with having to manually confirm the Bluetooth connection in my car. Mines on a Toyota 86 with the GPS in dash, I believe it's made by eclipse who supply Subaru?

I have to manually connect each time to my bluetooth nakamichi speaker.
I too am having same issues. I also have a 2011 WRX with original radio. With my prior phone (GS2) I connected without problem and automatically every time I started the car. I have to manually connect the HTC one every time. Many others seem to not have this problem with other vehicles, so I'm starting to think it's the Subaru radio not playing nice with the phone. Please post if you find a solution.

I installed an app called Bluetooth file transfer that fixed the issue somehow.

I had similar problems in my car with an alpine radio, but with my galaxy s3.
In fact the thing is that when you register a phone on your radio (in my case) the radio just looks for the first one defined and registered to autoconnect.
Now, if in your radio you clear registered devices list, and try to register your htc, i am pretty convinced that it will autoconnect all the time.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Nicolas.
My HTCone synched immediately with the OEM bluetooth in my 2011 Kia Forte. No problema, in fact, it is a much better connection (clarity) than with the old EVO 4g, which initially required a bit of fiddling to make work. Hands free phone call system on the KIA works very well too. FWIW.

Thanks for that. I sorted out how to BTconnect my HTCone<--> Macbook, but could only do so, one file at a time. The app you mentioned works great (!) and allows me to push multiple files at ne time. Reviews say it is also a great file manager, that I have yet to determine but if so, an added bonus.
I am also having a problem with the HTC One bluetooth in my car. The phone connects to the car’s bluetooth system, pairs properly, although very slow, it uploads the phone book and call history. The problem is the call quality. The people I am calling complain about the sound, they feel the volume is too high and this distorts the sound, as well as there is too much noise added to the voice, or something like that. As soon as I switch to the phone speaker the sound that they hear gets better. This makes me think the bluetooth on this phone sucks. One person suggested the interaction between the noise canceling and main microphone is mixed up, but if I am using my car's sound system it should not use the phone's microphones anyway, or maybe it does? I guess what I am trying to say is that when I am using the car's stereo it should use only the car's microphones and speakers , but sound like the phone noise canceling microphone is still active.
If anybody has ideas for fixes, or suggestion for further tests, I will do it.
P.S. I didn't have any problems with my car's bluetooth with my iPhone 4 or Nexus 4.
Same for me. Sometimes the problem disappears. I assume the problem comes from the BTstack. In fact, the one is the only Android phone I know that use a different BT stack than blueZ. This stack is HTC one. It allows us having avrcp 1.3 (The name of the song displayed on our car audio). I hope the HTC one Google edition use blueZ stack. I will try a Rom based ion that. If the problem disappears, it will confirm the problem come from HTC stack.

BT problem
Hi,
I'm also having a problem with my BT while paired to the BT in my awesome Volkswagen sirocco.
I don't see any contact or missed calls or recent calls. The log is empty.
Any help will be much appreciated.

I am having the same issue...I had the Motorola Atrix 4g and it paired immediately with my Pioneer deck. That phone always reconnected and like you mentioned, pulled up Pandora etc. Now I have the HTC One, and it paired and connected but it refuses to play audio. Handsfree works (kinda sloppily, also like you mentioned), but the Media Audio portion doesn't work even though the phone reports that it is connected. My stereo says no device detected when I switch to BT Audio. I hope you find a resolution to this issue, I have searched everywhere and of course I saved the best for last and decided to finally check here @ XDA.
I posted earlier in the thread that I was having difficulties pairing my One with my Subaru WRX factory radio. I could not get it to automatically connect with the phone each time I started the car. I could manually get it to connect but that was a pain every time I got in the car. I was able to solve my issue by deleting every other pairing the radio had with other prior phones. I deleted any pairing my One had previously and then paired it with the car radio before any other device. It now connects regularly every time I start the car, and both audio and phone functions work perfectly. I would recommend anyone having blue-tooth issues to try the same. The Subaru radio also had a weird menu system that was different whether I was pairing the phone by using voice commands or trying to do it with physical buttons on the radio. Very confusing but going through the hands free voice command menu seemed to pair both audio and phone functions, where I could only pair audio functions when using the physical buttons on the radio. Seemed like two different systems.
Been having crappy noise issues with my 09 Acura TSX. I emailed HTC regarding this problem but, of course, their response was to 'check with the car manufacturer'. Will try that method and see how it goes.
My problem is a bit different. My htc One connects flawlessly with my JVC unit that too automatically. But it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. And that is a major issue. The phone also gets insanely hot in this process and today the OS crashed two times and i had to do a Hard Reset.
I am coming from an iPhone 5 on which bluetooth streaming was flawless.
Anyway to stop the auto-disconnect and re-connect going on.
My Bluetooth is mess up.
It can pair up, but the Address Book is not showing up on the car screen menu now. I don't know what happened. When I play music on my phone to the Bluetooth in the car, it is silence.
Does anyone know what is going on?
HTC One Bluetooth Problem in BMW
I am having the same problem.
My HTC One connects, I can make calls from the phone and the calls are clear, but I cannot see my contacts.
I have emailed HTC and they say it is the car (BMW 5 series). I have checked with BMW and there isn't an update for my car available. I am therefore, using the latest software. I previously used the HTC sensation which worked fine in the same car.
I am wondering if one could install an older version of the Bluetooth and A2DP software as the those on the HTC One do not work in my car and I cannot see BMW developing any updates and if they did, the cost could be as much as the phone.
Would appreciate any help

I can now see my contacts after more than a month!
I did many things, some of which I do not believe had anything to do with the process required.So I will stick with the main points and if this does not work I will include all that I can remember.
I unpaired all phones in the car (including the HTC One)
Pair the HTC One
Look out for the message BMW wants......................... contacts
Select yes
Wait for the contacts to load, this took a couple of minutes at least.

Been trying to find out for the longest time the definite set of codecs that the One supports over bluetooth. Besides SBC and AptX, does it also support MP3 and AAC??
The reason I'm asking is that I'm coming from a (company supplied) iphone and have been generally very happy with the bluetooth audio quality to my car's audio system (Audi) and Bose Soundlink Mini speaker. I know for sure the iphone supports AAC and due to the quality suspect it is used in both cases.
The Bose at least does *not* support AptX, however getting a definite codec list for the Bose is also impossible. I only managed to find buried in the offfical bluetooth certification pages that it is a BT2.1 device.
Why do all these manufacturer's hide this documentation?
Very disappointed to find out that the Bose Soundlink Mini negotiates a link with the HTC One using SBC...
These are both premium devices for which top dollars are paid, and they still shovel this **** on me.
I'm not sure on where to place the blame here, HTC for only(???) supporting AptX next to SBC, or Bose for only supporting SBC(???)
As mentioned, both are not transparent in their devices capabilities - isn't there an app to find out these things?
Beats is at least more clear: "Bluetooth 2.1 audio and supports SBC, aptX, AAC Codecs for high quality streaming"

[Q] Bluetooth Issues

Been having bluetooth audio stuttering issues with the Moto X when playing music/podcasts. Only seems to happen in my car with the Chevy MyLink system (Blackberry QNX-based). Works fine with a regular set of bluetooth headphones.
I've tried:
Disabling Wifi
Rebooting Directly Before Connecting to Bluetooth
Re-pairing the device
Turning off NFC
Un-pairing all other bluetooth devices
Turning on the developer option to leave the screen on when plugged in, to force the phone to not sleep
Moving the phone to different places in the car (assuming it was a reception issue)
Disabling the phone profile in bluetooth, leaving only the media profile
Different music players
Playing music from local storage rather than streaming it
None of it seems to help. The only real difference I can see is that the car bluetooth stereo supports AVRCP 1.3 (Track information, song/album title) and the other bluetooth streaming devices I've tested don't.
Does the Moto X just have a buggy bluetooth stack? (this worked fine on my old Note 3) Anyone else have this issue (and possible have a fix)?
I just started using my phone in my car to stream music today, using a CoolStream Bluetooth adapter and noticed the same thing. I have two CoolStream devices, so I was going to do some testing before posting anything (I used the other in my office today without issue). I just received a replacement Moto X (for another reason) today, so I will try it out tomorrow.

Funnily even I have Bluetooth issues.. I own a pair of bluebuds x and after pairing the device the audio was still playing through phone. I have to disconnect Bluetooth and restart bluebuds x and immediately start playing music after connection is established. if I wait for 2 mins again same problem.
From the motorola forums, there is a suspicion that this is related to the charger that is being used. Can you confirm if this happens if you are using bluetooth music on battery?

This happens even when the phone is on battery.
That being said, it does seem worse when I'm using my Belkin 2.1 amp car charger.
Hmm, definitely starting to sound like a bluetooth software problem, hoping this gets some visibility @ Moto.
Works well for me
No issues at all for me in my 2014 Hyundai Tucson.
Huge problems mine connects then disconnects every 30 seconds have called Motorola 3 times going to call again ask for exchange or refund.

I was having the stuttering problem when using Bluetooth in my car (Subaru Imprezza). I use the PowerAMP audio player. Going into headset/bluetooth settings (in PowerAMP) and enabling the "High Priority" setting fixed this.
On my BT headset, it's always been fine. (i use the Motorola S11-HD)
I got in touch with Motorola support. They are replacing the phone. We'll see if the new one does the same thing.

I am on my second phone, it is better than the first, but the problem still exists.
This sounds like a major problem - I have a Sony Smartwatch 3 and it keeps dropping. I haven't tried anything else yet but this is already not looking good. Anyone with any answers running Lollipop?
same if not worse
I went from a moto x 2013 to a 2014 and uograded to lolipop. The stuttering is still on lolipop and i have othwr issues as well. When I try to play a vox it doesnt pause audio and is silent. It also fails to auto connect about 50% of the time. And wven when it does the audio is muted and i have to disconnect and re connect. Using an Alpine ute-42BT
I've been using my Moto X 2014 with a 2011 BMW and I have no issues with stuttering. The version of the car's Bluetooth stack supports AVRCP 1.4. I had some quirks with it and my previous LG G3 (time display was off, and previous/next controls from car didn't work properly). With the Moto X, everything works well and all information is displayed properly.
Does anyone know what version of AVRCP the Moto X has when running Lollipop? It seems like stock Lollipop is still stuck on 1.3 (I can't get a clear answer), but with the time being reported properly, I suspect 1.4 is being used on my Moto X.
I also have issues w Bluetooth. Stutters randomly w my Subaru Impreza, as well as my 2 UE Boom Speakers. Using Google Play Music All Access.
In addition, the Jawbone UP24 wouldn't sync w my phone. Had to restart the phone to push a sync through.
My phone was working fine until today. I was able to pause, play, and skip with my bluetooth receiver, but the audio was still coming out of my phone. This is terribly frustrating. I can't believe such a large issue has been going on for months with no announcement from Motorola.
My pure edition on lollipop stutters when the active display goes off on Bluetooth. Only send to happen then
I've notice using Bluetooth headphones none have the range they are suppose to. I've used Power beats 2 wireless, JBL Synchro's wireless, and Moto Hint. The range and Bluetooth auto seem to lack badly. Using a Bluetooth to aux adapter in my work van I've noticed it skipping as well. Hope this gets fixed its apparent that its a issue with the Moto X Bluetooth.
my bluetooth audio has become worthless. so much stuttering, calls sound like they are under water, moto assist voice in the car is so quiet
i can't stand it.

[Q] Bluetooth audio distortion and skipping

When connected to my TuneLink in my car, I get intermittent background staticky distortion and slight freezes in audio playback every few seconds. Anyone else experiencing this? I tried the "Xperia Z1 Bluetooth media fix" on the Play store, but it didn't help. My Nexus 5 and numerous iphones pair and play on the device flawlessly. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I'm using Google Play Music, but it also happens when I've used the "listen" feature on the Pocket app for text-to-voice reading of articles. Could this have something to do with Sony Throw? I know nothing about this function. Thanks

I had the distortion with a new Z3 Compact in a new Mini. I got a new device - but the problem was the same. No solution. I am not using the Z3 Compact anymore. I also have no problem with iPhone, Nexus etc.
i just started getting this problem recently too. but i think it has to do with the smart connect/tasker. as i wasn't using it before, and after i started to, then it started doing it in the walkman. however, when i close/reopen the app, the problem goes away. it only happens when you first connect it and the player starts.
Have this issue as well. Only happens with my bluetooth headset. Moto SD-11. Works
fine for about 30 minutes, then it starts skipping badly. I have to move the phone around on my belt to temporarily get it to stop.
Noticed as well that bluetooth audio link is less robust than with my other devices. Could this be due to the fact that the antenna is smaller?
Anyone have/had similar bluetooth issues with other Sony devices? Can we hope for a firmware or other update that could correct it, or is it more likely a hardware issue?

Did you leave the device for this reason? I've been happy with it so far otherwise.
well it looks like my issue is directly related to tasker/smart connect. i haven't had any trouble since i've stopped using them to automate the music player. either way, i still think it's a fault in the music player since i can just close it and reopen it and it works perfectly fine.

so i just got the Z3... my previous phone was the one m8 and it streamed music to my cars stereo ( dodge UConnect) via bluetooth flawlessly, now i have this Xperia Z3 and it makes listening to music completely impossible ... aside from the fact that it slows down every song ever so slightly it skips every few seconds..... i dont think its the phone bc it streams to jbl speakers just fine, but once i get into the car im forced to use aux .... i checked with dodge and they have no clue and there are no updates for my uconnect system..... wtf guys?! normally this would be a game changer and id just send back the phone and get another one m8 but the camera in this is way superior and remote play is sick..... any suggestions?

T-MOBILE LG G6 Bluetooth issues

Hello I am on the latest e update from T-Mobile and have noticed in my cars Bluetooth when I stream music it seems to have popping noises that seems to be like it's having a hard time keeping up with the stream. I also noticed with audio from videos played through my car has an aweful sync delay. I have a 2017 Ford with Sync3. I have no issues with my older Nexus 6p or GS 7.
Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if I have a defective unit.

I have the same problem with the new update connecting to my 2017 Ford Escape. I found a work around, though. If I disconnect and then reconnect to the car's Bluetooth, the skipping goes away. No idea why this would happen, but hopefully the next update fixes it. I don't want to do this every time I get in my car!
Edit: Also, I'm 90% sure I didn't​ have this problem before the update.
I hope so too. I have factory reset and turned battery optimization off all Bluetooth apps too. Also I had all the new play store updates. And when I factory reset I lost them all. Seems like the updates tab and filter options were on then gone after reset. ?

No update yet.
Which version of Bluetooth are your devices/car bluetooth connections utilizing? Just curious.
My stereo headphones use 4.0 (Jabra Move), but I haven't noticed any issue yet with high CPU usage, battery drain, quality issues, etc. I've had it on when out in case a call comes in.

Bluetooth Issues
Hi, I have been having bluetooth issues with this phone since day one. It does not happen with all bluetooth devices but it definitely happens with my Pioneer Head unit in the car. Sometimes it also depends on the application used. The strange this is that it does not happen all the time, but when it does it happens frequently. I also noticed that the headunit will get stuck in voice command mode after using voice command, also the phone will answer calls by itself even though this feature is turned off in the settings. The message is "Bluetooth device has stopped working". This obviously did not happen with my G4. I have cleared Cache and all bluetooth devices, and have also cleared them on th Head Unit. I do have another Pioneer head unit in another vehicle, different model and it does the same thing. I have seen many people reporting issues with car units in other vehicles.
Hoping for a quick update, I know weird things are bound to happen with new phones. I really like the phone, this is the only real anoying issue.
I think the issue is more so bluetooth than anything else. Bluetooth never was, and likely never will be, a truly reliable data transfer protocol.

I think the issue has to do with device incompatibilities. Every phone I have had, I see reports of BT problems that I just don't experience. Hooks up to the car in a flash. Works with both my bt headphones and soundbar for my tv.
My car is a nissan maxima.
I have had g2, g3, g4, nexus 6p , g5 and now g6. The nexus was the worst for my devices. It worked, but getting connected took longer.
Possibly The Music App Being Used
I don't have a ford like allot of you guys replying in the thread, however I have noticed that specifically "Google Play Music" will have an issue on any bluetooth device; where if you have a widget of the player on the phone, and you have listened to music using the app BEFORE you connected to the vehicle, when trying to play from where you were in the song, it will pop and skip around. The only way to fix this easily is to pause the song, clear the app out of recents and re open the app and play. Hope this helps some of you.
I have also noticed this with my G6. I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu and use Google Play Music, streaming through T-Mobile. I have no issues streaming music to the same car with GPM through my Samsung GS7. I noticed someone mention disconnecting then reconnecting bluetooth, so I will give that a shot. Still frustrating, and I am hoping that LG will be able to come up with a software fix.
My G6 Bluetooth crashes every time its connected to my car "Bluetooth crash". It doesn't matter which app I use, it disconnects every 5 seconds. The rest of my phones connect without a problem to my Honda Accord. Even my fiance's G6 connects without an issue. I believe I got a bad unit, will return for another one and see what happens.
There were a ton of Bluetooth issues in 7.0. I had them on my Pixel XL. It really sucks that LG didn't ship the G6 with 7.1. Hopefully they implement the Bluetooth patches in 7.1. I can't get my Dodge truck to display Google Play Music metadata with my G6. My Pixel XL displays the metadata just fine. The G6 does display Google Play Music metadata in my Ford Explorer though.
I'm getting noticeable static when using Pandora via Bluetooth with my 2016 Subaru, but it's an improvement over my OnePlus 3T that wouldn't even allow media playback via Bluetooth with my car.

Go to settings.
Under General go to location.
Tap the 3 dots upper right corner then tap scanning.
Toggle the Bluetooth scanning to off.
This should fix the Bluetooth disconnect car issues.

I also noticed with audio from videos played through my car has an aweful sync delay. I have a 2017 Ford with Sync3. I have no issues with my older Nexus 6p or GS 7.
Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if I have a defective unit.

Hi Yes I am having a similar issue with my lg g6. I am also on tmobile. The sound randomly about 1-2 times during the song just starts to sound terrible (like FM quality). It does have a bit of a static/popping nosie, this happens for a few seconds for me and then goes back to sounding normal.

Go to settings.
Under General go to location.
Tap the 3 dots upper right corner then tap scanning.
Toggle the Bluetooth scanning to off.
This should fix the Bluetooth disconnect car issues.

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately it didn't work.
I tried wiping my phone clean but it seems that after the LG Android Updates it starting acting worse. GPM does not help either.
I've tried everything, reset network, clearing all Bluetooth data, safe mode, even restarted my car's audio system. Brand new LG G6, not a day old and it doesn't connect to car, only call audio connects but not the media. Works fine with portable speakers but keeps disconnecting every ten seconds in car.

Are you using google music? I have found Slacker Radio and Spotify both work for me using bluetooth but Google Music just crashes continually.

Audio quality drop on bluetooth

Hi everyone
Little bit lost on this and not sure if it's just me but hoping someone can help or point me somewhere. I have a s10+ UK edition. And a Samsung galaxy watch.
When I connect the phone to the car the audio is low quality and hisses a lot. When I put the watch into plane mode. Cutting it off from the phone. All is normal.
Have never seen this happen before. Any ideas?
Thanks
So you have bluetooth connected to the watch and car at the same time?
If so, my guess would be a setting in the watch for the volume of music. Or in the phone, go to settings / bluetooth / advanced / dual audio. Select it and play with the settings to setup what to do when two bluetooth audio devices are connected

Had the same problem with my cheap external bluetooth to FM adapter.
Turn on Developer Options and adjust the bluetooth profile while connected to your car audio.
Having Dolby Audio set to auto might also have an impact.
Thanks for the advice but no luck so far.
The settings under developers let me change when nothing is connected but they revert back to sbc soon as I leave the menu. And they are locked out when connected.
Also dual audio does nothing.
It only has the issue when the watch is connected.
As if its taking the bandwidth.
@ninjatiger26
@theanykey asked you to change the AVRCP version.
You can only change the audio codec from the default one (SBC) to something like aptX if your receiver supports it. And yes, you can not change the codec on the fly while playing.

Apologies for the delay, has been a mad few days!
Sadly changing the AVRCP didnt help on all versions.
It seems there maybe a weird one however on the codec. It reverts to SBC which from a bit of muddled googling is all my receiver supports. from non iPhone devices. However, it takes AAC if its a iphone.
Seems odd to me however they would limit it. Like i said this is from googling so maybe incorrect.
the stranger part is however i paired up a Oneplus 6 and the watch all was fine on SBC codec. its just watch and the s10+ it has an issue.
Admit very lost on this one.
I'm having the exact same issue. I've got an S10 Plus and a Galaxy Watch Active (both in the brazilian versions), and there is a noticeable crackling and loss of quality when I play music on my car stereo while the phone is connected both to the car and the watch. If I put the watch in airplane mode, the issue is gone.
Also, it only seems to happen with my car. I've tried to replicate the issue with my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and an Anker bluetooth speaker, but with those devices there is no noticeable loss of audio quality.
I've tried resetting bluetooth setting, messing with the codecs in developer options and pairing both devices again multiple times.
Anyone got any ideas?

See if the problem persists when you only share your Bluetooth audio to your vehicle and not calls, contacts, or messages.

Why not Google it?maybe you will get a solution for this problem.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not beeing fixed on my side.
Does any of you still have the same issue?
I have the same issue with S9(android 10 ui2)
- no dou audio diable option
- bluetooth conected only to my earphones, with no car.
I’ve been a Samsung phone user since the S5 and this issue persists across all their phones since at least that one. The only real solution is to avoid the SBC codec or turn off your watch while listening to music. It will never be patched as it’s been going on for over 6 years. In the early days Galaxy phones only really used SBC so you couldn’t avoid it.
APT-X and AAC are your best options. Good luck finding those on a car system. You can easily find headphones that support them.
