[Q] Bluetooth Stereo Problems

I'm using a Samsung HM3500 bluetooth headset which also has a A2DP stereo option with my AT&T Galaxy Tab. Whenever I play music through the bluetooth, the music will pause for a split second while I am doing other things on the tab such as loading web pages, opening menus, going back to home, etc. It just seems to cut out when I am doing things that use a little bit of CPU power. When idle it mostly works, with only a few cut outs every few minutes or so.
I have flashed gingerbread and my modem to use it as a phone. Do you guys think this is an OS issue or an issue with my BT headset? Thanks

I use bluetooth headsets alot and i had this issue from overcome beta (first gingerbread release) to 2.0.0 gold. Didn't have it with froyo before and don't have it anymore since overcome 2.0.1.

Thanks, I may have to try flashing Overcome.

If you disable wifi the issue should go away. I know some people were able to decrease the frequency of the breaks in audio by changing the interval at which it searches for wifi locations, but I don't recall. This is a very common issue which has been seen on android and windows mobile devices alike.

I don't think thats the issue I have. I only have wifi turned on when I'm at home and while at the office. During my morning/evening commute (train to subway to bus) is when I use my bluetooth headphones the most, and wifi is switched off. I never got to try it with Froyo because I flashed Gingerbread as soon as I got my Tab last weekend. I will try flashing overcome tonight, hopefully it solves the issues. Thanks

Bluetooth Crashing

I'm having Bluetooth problems on my N6. They began around the time of 7.1.1, like everyone else, but a repeated BT crash is ongoing. Searching it looks like other discussions indicate the known BT problems were fixed in the March update, but I am hoping I have missed something. Bone stock N7, running 7.1.1 with the June 5 security patch.
I have reinstalled from the April 7.1.1 system image, disabled Instant Tethering, and disabled power management on the BT apps.
- I use BT a lot: media, phone calls, and so on, at least a couple of hours a day; I also have an LG Watch Urbane (AW2.0), and a Moto 360 before it.
- I had the same issues as everyone else in February, with the shutdowns and so on. I had not noticed BT issues before that.
- I relocked the bootloader in April, with the accompanying reset and system reimage.
Ever since February, BT has reset at random. This will happen occasionally, as often as 3x in 20 minutes:
- BT icon will indicate disabled
- any BT media/call will stop
- watch will indicate disconnect.
- Calls usually transfer to the earpiece, after a couple seconds of silence.
- 3-5 seconds later, BT indicates enabled
- devices all reconnect
- call transfers back to BT headset, most of the time.
This does not only happen when I am actively using BT for audio - if I'm driving with media paused it will suddenly start playing, suggesting that the phone has disconnected and reconnected in the background. I have not tried completely disabling BT in the car, since I do sometimes need to take calls while driving.
I'd love to be able to change a setting to fix the problem, but if someone can confirm they don't have these problems with a custom kernel and/or firmware I'd be interested in knowing that too. Thanks for any suggestions/pointers/advice!

I've not been stock since early 2015 I'm running Pure Nexus without any 3rd party kernel. I use BT non-stop without trouble. The last time I remember having any BT issues (actually similar to what you're describing) was in 2016 when I was using a AOSPA based ROM.

Stock 7.1.1. June update. Rooted, unencrypted. No bt issues.
In the play store there's an app to fix Bluetooth issues on rooted devices.

I'm on SiX ROM + Blackbird Kernel + Magisk. Paired with a Huawei watch, and frequently use Bluetooth audio with my car stereo, Jaybird X2 headphones, and Anker portable speaker with no issue.

Google Home Mini + BT speaker = stuttering music

I encountered stutter when broadcasting music from GHM to my BT speaker. It's like buffering every second. With the Internet connection everything is ok. The router is located near the GHM. When connecting via BT to the phone or through AUX with any other source, my Marshall Acton plays music without any problems. The problem occurs only when the music is broadcast from the GH Mini. It started a couple of days ago. Up to this point, there were no problems for a week. It happens randomly, it can play an hour without stammering, and then start, or vice versa. The GHM itself plays without problems. Tried TuneIn and Google Music. I also tried to reset GHM.

CC Audio has no Bluetooth

Has anyone encountered this problem?

The same thing has been happening for me as well. It only occurs when playing to a Bluetooth speaker. Playback via the Google Home Mini speaker itself is fine and it is right next to the wifi router.
What firmware are you on? Mine are on 1.32.118652. I think it's a preview firmware so it may be a bug in the firmware as nothing I do has made it any better and it was working fine before and has only started over the last few weeks.

The same version. Do you remember what version was before the problems started?

Another person with the same problem - https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/googlehome/wqB5eG1bwaI

I bought the Home Mini yesterday and found the same problem. Any update about it?

Same
Same here. Stuttering music. Thought I was the only one and there was something wrong with my BT speaker. Stuttering music. FW 1.32.118652
Managed to get it working by unpairing and forgetting, and re-pairing. Now it happens every time my BT speaker goes into sleep mode.
More irritating is that when this happens the Google Home Mini defaults back to its own speaker instead of trying to reconnect.
This is firmware basics. Let's hope they iron this out.

My BT speaker will start to studder with about 25% battery left now or when it's actually plugged in. Fresh charge will run fine.

I'm having this issue too. I'm at the latest update at the time and using Harman Kardon Aura speaker

I'm having the same issue on GHM in 2022, using an Anker Soundcore Flare 2. Seems like Google has not fixed this issue. Does anyone know if Google Nest Mini has the same issue too?

Bluetooth issue with Audio-Technica m50xbt Headphones

Hello everyone,
Since I got my new pair of Audio-Technica m50x Bluetooth headphones (Bluetooth 5.0 version), I started having issues with the Bluetooth connection of my OP3T.
The bt connection experiences a turn on/off loop while trying to connect to the headphones. It happens sistematically as soon as the headphones battery drops below 75% approximately. No issues when the headphones are fully charged.
I have tried to connect the headphones to different devices, and they work without problems.
The only way to make the Bluetooth connection work, is to deselect 'Phone audio' in the settings of the paired device. But by doing so, I would need to give up using the headphones for calls.
I have always connected different Bluetooth devices (always 4.2 version) to my OP3T without any issues.
I have tried to wipe cache, reset network settings and even a complete factory reset. But no success.
I have the latest stock OxygenOS.
I believe it is a Bluetooth problem of the OP3T, since I have tested the headphones with different devices and they have always worked fine.
More Oneplus 3t users are sharing the same problem(cannot post links yet), but no solution has been found yet:
Similar topic in the oneplus community forum.
Have somebody already experienced such problem? Or do you know what this problem could be related to?
Thank you for your attention, and my apologies for the long post. :angel:

I have the exact same problem. OnePlus 3T as well.
Am on Android 8.0 OxygenOS 5.0.8.

I have the same exact problem. Always root my OP3T and install TWRP and install latest Magisk (my routine procedures).
Running stock OOS 5.0.8 (Oreo 8.0) and also recently bought Audio Technica M50xBT.
Same problem:
- if "Phone audio" is enabled then Bluetooth gets stuck in ON/OFF loop.
- if "Phone audio" is disabled then Bluetooth works fine (cant use the extra calling related features ) ....
I hope the Androi Pi update coming out (they already have BETA but im not trying it) solves these issues.
Because this Oxygen version fixed my "CAR BT issues" in my B7 VW Passat (2012) - just to find out for new headphones something else is not covered in the "logic in the code" dammit.
@liuk5 I did not notice the batter part you mentioned "It happens systematically as soon as the headphones battery drops below 75% approximately. No issues when the headphones are fully charged. "
I will charge mine to 100% and check it out (but obviously thats not sustainable, plus constantly topping off the ATH-M50xBT battery would decrease the battery lifespan)

Bluetooth issues Android Pie CLT-L29

Howdy,
Anyone else experiencing stuttering while streaming audio over Bluetooth?
Started happening after the 9.0.0.168 update.
I'm located in Australia if that makes any difference.
Tried a bunch of different devices using different codecs (aac, SBC, aptx, etc). I've also tried factory resetting, and different streaming apps (Spotify, apple music, tidal, etc).
Literally the only thing that works is reverting back to EMUI 8.1.

Yes! It is annoying!
No clue on how to o fix it yet....

What is your car?

This doesn't seem to be limited to the P20 Pro. I can confirm the issue on the Mate 10 Pro after the EMUI9 (European) upgrade. Bluetooth worked flawlessly before, even under heavy load (Google Maps navigation and Torque Pro in split screen mode, Spotify in background) with two bluetooth devices (Torque adapter and JVC car radio) connected.
Since the update I am experiencing intermittent stutter with any bluetooth audio device. As soon as I connect the Torque adapter (bluetooth serial protocol) the stutter on the audio output becomes unbearable. I get about 10 seconds of clear sound, then 5-8 seconds of stutter. Re-pairing didn't help.

I've tried several Bluetooth devices, ranging far and wide and with a large variety of different codecs being used. Re-pairing doesn't help, factory resetting doesn't help. I suspect it's a driver related issue.

Yeah, WiFi is never enabled while I'm driving. My dash cam gives off a WiFi connection with no Internet access.
I did read that fixed a similar issue on an other Huawei device, thanks for the tip.

got updated to Pie last night, and I listened to Spotify on my way to work this morning. I noticed the audio is interrupted (for about half a second) two or three times within 45 mins. I thought it is just the Spotify streaming issue. Hmm .. maybe it is this issue.

You can try other apps。You can see whether it's the problem of Bluetooth headset or the problem of App.

It only appears to be LDAC in my case (when using my Sony WH-1000XM3's). If I drop the codec down, the aborations don't manifest for me. Turning the screen on by way of power button makes the audio cut out for 100ms or less, but seems to indicate it's processor load that's causing it (across any audio app, like Spotify, Tidal, PocketCasts, YouTube).
Using anything lower than LDAC seems to be fine for me though (like when I'm using my Samsung Gear IconX 2018's).
I only updated to EMUI 9 on my P20 Pro yesterday and identified this issue within 5 minutes, so it doesn't bode well for Huawei's testing.

So, after having contacted Huawei, they initially advised me to wipe the cache partition however this didn't address the issue. They then apologetically recommended a full reset. Having now done this the Bluetooth audio issues I was experiencing appear to have been resolved.
Whether they'll return with use of the phone I have no idea, but LDAC and all other codes are working brilliantly now.
Hope that helps anyone having the same probs.

I have exactly same Issue, doesn't matter aptx ldac SBC, with some devices works fine with others horrible... It's a lot of work to reset to factory settings and reinstall all the apps and settings though

Any one know if there's a fix for this yet?
I've tried wiping the device and still has issues.

I have same issue w p20 pro EMUI 10.0.0.161 CLT-L29 model. Has earlier p20 pro china version L100? And no issues.
I'm using BT Shure SE846 and they are studdering. App notwithstanding. My cheap car BT radio jig works flawlessly. Huawei said I need to change mb. (For $150 since out of warranty)
