Lots of static using aux into car stereo - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using the auxiliary input into my MINI stereo and getting a lot of static with two different N6s. No issues with N4, N5, International GSIII and TMobile GSIII.
It's specific only to my N6s.
Any ideas on how to fix? I've tried two different aux cables. I'm guessing it's some kind of grounding issue.

I noticed the same thing in my BMW.
There is some pretty loud static, which cuts in and out if music is playing. When paused, it's steady static.

I'm experiencing the same.

Same issue here in my car. I previously owned a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 and can confirm that the issue was not present on those phones.
Although, they had their own issue of not being loud enough. The Nexus 6 puts out a lot of power.

I'm having the same issue, driving a mini as well. I was considering a new cable but that seems to not be the problem. The static is pretty annoying, to say the least. I'm considering getting a Bluetooth to aux adapter. Has anybody had any success with this issue?

No luck.
I did see that there are supposed to be audio fixes in Android 5.1, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I thought that buying an expensive Nexus would have solved all of the quality issues we had in previous, lower cost Nexus phones. Now I feel like I've kinda been ripped off.

[Q] Crackling with higher end headphones using aux?

Hello everyone.
Curious if anyone else has had this issue. I recently bought a decent pair of headphones, Sony MDR7506. I have had zero issues with the cheap in ear stuff and using my aux cord in my car. Even my bluetooth streaming to my htc a200 works great. However with these headphones I get a small amount of random crackle here and there. I initially chalked it up to a bad pair of headphones but for the heck of it I tried them on my PC , Ipad 3, and nexus 7 and they sound absolutely amazing on each of those devices. I tried it on my wife's htc one as well and the same thing. The odd thing was I had crackle in the left ear on her phone and on the right ear on mine.
I'm not exactly sure whats up at this point. Judging by searching it doesn't seem like anyone really has had this issue or at least haven't documented it.
Not that it probably matters but I am on Viper 2.1.0 and the wife is on viper 1.2.1. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Buzzing Noise In Earbuds

Hello all-
Loving this phone for the most part, but when I listen though the headphone jack a very faint buzzing can be heard behind the audio. This is not a problem when listening to music, but it's annoying with podcasts.
Anyone else have this problem?
Sent from my Moto X
Hopefully others can reply. I listen to tons of audio and podcasts and curious if this is an isolated issue or not.
Mine is silent. I listen with a variety of earphones but even with my Shure se530s which are ultra sensitive, the output is silent. Some people were complaining about grounding issues, where just rubbing your finger on the back of the phone would cause static in the earphone. After swapping out the device the problem went away. If it's really that noticeable I would suggest a warranty exchange.

Did you have issues with buzzing before swapping out the device?

Not me personally, I've not had any issues with mine. I'm referring to other cases that were reported on forums. I know someone on xda had an issue and I'm pretty sure the other guy I'm thinking of was on android central. There were also a few people that reported the same problem within those particular threads. It certainly doesn't seem to be a widespread issue but considering that you have buzzing when other people don't, I'd play it safe and just exchange it.
check your audio settings in the "fake" eq. depending how I have them set I get static. when it is turned off or flat there is no static.

Connect to Tritton headphones

My pair of Tritton Titanfall headsets have just arrived. They're primarily meant for the 360, but are supposed to be compatible with PC and mobile devices. However, the headphones aren't working with my nexus 10 by simply plugging them in (which is all you're supposed to do, as far as I know.) Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Because I'm pretty certain they're supposed to work.
More detail (plus updates): my nexus completely ignores them and continues to play out of its speakers
The headphones work with my older OG Droid. So I'm pretty sure it's a problem with my Nexus.
It's the Kunai model of headphones

Make sure it is plugged in properly and astros ftw
Updating and bumping
I got the headphones to work with my nexus by attaching the removable microphone to the headphones before plugging them into my nexus. So it's a little inconvenient, but it works.
I'm curious if there is a way to make my nexus believe that the headphones have a microphone attached even when they aren't, If anyone knows anything in this field, or knows that it's possible. please let me know!

Switched from iPhone here again and could get a solid 30 ft bluetooth headphone range... now I'm getting maybe 5 to 10 can't even leave its side anyone else having awful bluetooth performance ? Even sucks in my car on occasion

I would question if your device is defective, I was streaming for a few hours yesterday with no issues at all via bluetooth.
I am having the same issue. Awful Bluetooth range
I've had my note 5 for less than 3 months and the range is terrible. I'm having problems connecting to the car radio, my moto 360 watch, both a Plantronics and Jabra headsets. I guess it is going to have to be replaced.
I get a solid 15 feet on my Verizon Note5. So headset and car issues appear to be specific to those users.

Note 5 SM-N920C and Logitech H800 bluetooth. No problem with the range compared to my older S3 and S4, rather a bit better and clearer but not by much.
Weak Bluetooth also on my N920C, not terrible though, but would start struggling after 20 feet, with 2 different BT headsets (Sennheiser 550 X and LG Infinim).
I second that. I been having to carry my gym bag with me from machine to machine

Headphone Mic issue.

I know a lot of people share the same issue as me and i don't think it has ever been fixed or they have any desire to fix it. When i'm using my headset my mic suddenly goes mute i have to either unplug it and re plug it in. Or turn on and off the speaker but its a hassle. This is the same issue i had with my zte axon 7 which was frustrating. I'm extremely disappointed because its a great phone. Not sure if anyone has a solution to this or is having the same issue. I returned my pixel xl for this phone and its great but as person who is constantly using the headset its such a pain to deal with it.

If you were having the same problem on your other device then maybe it's your headset?
Lmao, it's your headphones.. I'm dying. Lol
"If everywhere you go smells like crap, maybe it's time to smell your own shoes" applies very well here xD Probably your headphones yeah...
No I have tried multiple headsets and if you read on the one plus forums and look it up it's actually a problem a lot of people have. I wish it was my headphones but it's not tried several pairs new and old. Only have this issue on this phone they work perfect on my iPhone pixel and nexus 6p.
