Mine seems to have been fixed after updates

I have the same issue with my car

Which N9 version? exynos/snapdragon?
Which software version?
I'm using exynos with N960FXXS2ARK3 and no problems

If you are rooted, install magisk module called libsecure_storage ,it will fix BT pairing issue.

I don't have this per se, but I have a problem where it will regularly connect a phone/music device (car aux adapter) in only phone mode, and I'll have to disconnect/reconnect twice to get media audio...and even then sometimes it will use the "phone" codec that sounds like CRAP for media. Will have to reboot phone to fix that.

Bluetooth Issue

So I paired the One with my QED uPlay at home and I'm having issues. The phone has to literally be 30cm away from the receiver or the audio will start getting distorted until it eventually cuts off. I have two uPlays, issue exists on both so its not tbe receiver. Also my iPhone 4s has no issues either. I was hoping the One had better audio than the iPhone since it has aptx, but its quite the opposite. Has anyone tried bluetooth music streaming? Is it just a faulty phone?

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi both use the 2.4GHz channel. Asus had issues with the Prime because of its all-aluminum design where they had to greatly amplify the Wi-Fi signal and use diversity antennas to get through it. HTC uses the latter on the One. When used together, the Wi-Fi signal can overpower and interfere with the BT signal. Try turning off Wi-Fi and see if your connection quality changes. You're the first one to mention a BT issue so it could be unique to your device. Time will tell.
I have had a problem with bt connecting to my car (audi a1) I can hear the call but the other end cannot hear me. Going to delete connection and try again tomorrow.
Thanks for the replies. I switched off WIFI, re-paired the device and bluetooth started working perfectly, so it makes sense it was interference. Strange thing is I turned WIFI back on and bluetooth was still working fine. I'll do further tests in my car tomorrow see how it goes. If I'm not convinced I'll just get the phone replaced.
I have also had issues with bluetooth paired to my hands free car kit. Issues have surfaced when streaming music and also when making audio calls via bluetooth.

The One X had a similar issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
It could be that when I was first trying the WIFI antenna was stuck on high power, which caused the interference, but when I reset the WIFI it reduced its power and no longer interfered with the BT. I have changed the WIFI at home to run at 5 GHZ, but work still runs on 2.4.

I am running 1.28.401.7. How did you update to the latest ROM? I don't want to unlock my bootloader in case I need to return it.
Did you used to have the same exact issue in the previous ROM?

Apparently 1.29.709.4 has been officially released in Taiwan by HTC, so it shouldn't be long before the update arrives to the rest of us (hopefully).
got the same issue...some times I got no lags in audio streaming, but sometimes they are there...until it (maybe) will be fixed I'm using a widget, my cousin has coded for me yesterday . Quite simple solution. If I press the button, wifi turns off and bt turns on...works fine for me, so far

Bluetooth car streaming distortion

I am experiencing distortion/popping/cracking while streaming music via bluetooth from my HTC One to my car's headunit. I'm using the default music app and 320kbps mp3s. Never had this issue with my Galaxy SII.
I turned off Beats Audio, but that didn't solve it. I hope a fix can be found for this because I love this phone.
Anyone in the same boat?

I am having the exact same problem. Quite frustrating. Main problem is distortion, particularly in higher frequencies.
I have tested my HTC One on headphones, and there is no problem. The problem is over bluetooth streaming to car head unit. I have used 2 other phones (GSIII and Iphone) on the same head unit without any problem.
I largely play 320kbps spotify files.
If this problem can't be fixed in the short term, I am strongly considering returning the phone as i consider this a serious fault.
Apparently the new update (1.29) fixes the bluetooth issues amongst other things. I've still not received it though

I can confirm this, 1.29 works great streaming over bluetooth to my car stereo. No distortion at all with beats turned on.

That might be the problem, even though that is a 4.2 issue.
It requires a software fix.

I am having the same issue with my 2009 Acura TSX and I'm running version 1.29.401.13. I have contacted HTC about this issue and it was escalated to a higher echelon of techs to work on, but so far, no answer or fix.
I have even tried the "fix" located on a german site, still no luck.
Yep... Bluetooth over MyLink sounds awful in the high frequencies... Almost like its only transmitting at 48kbps.
Did anyone every get this issue fixed?
Would flashing to another ROM fix it?

Audio over Bluetooth stutter when Mobile Hotspot is on

Hi,
I'm having a strange issue with audio over Bluetooth when Mobile Hotspot is on and I was wondering if there is anyone who can help me out.
When my Mobile Hotspot is on and I'm listening music in my car over Bluetooth there is sometimes a random stutter in my audio.
The stutter (no audio for small amount of time) only lasts ~300ms but it totally random. Sometimes there are a few stutters in a few minutes of time, but sometimes it can also a just one stutter within 15 minutes.
I've got a dashcam in my car that I want to have connected to the internet when I'm driving, so that's why I'm using my Mobile Hotspot in my car.
The data flow is as follows (simultaneously):
4G connection => Deezer music app => Bluetooth => audio.
Dashcam => Mobile Hotspot => 4G Connection.
I've got a feeling that the stutter is happening when some network activity is happening over the Mobile Hotspot, but I'm not sure.
When I disable my Mobile Hotspot the stutters are gone.
Your help is appreciated!
Edit:
After more testing it has nothing to do with the Mobile Hotspot, but with Bluetooth in general. Especially when receiving a notification while streaming audio over Bluetooth gives me stutter.
I have the 8GB Exynos (512GB) edition
I'm getting the random Bluetooth hiccup without hotspot enabled.
Also me even when I connect one Bluetooth device
Hm, yesterday was the first time since this phone releases that my Bluetooth connection also sometimes stutters, even without the Mobile Hotspot enabled. It's a lot less than having Mobile Hotspot enabled but it still happened.
Very weird, my Bluetooth connection also stuttered on my previous phone, the Samsung Note 3. Only on the stock rom though, when I used LineageOS the stutters were gone.
I was getting audio stutter over Bluetooth with music and notifications causing problems. My phone is being sent back Monday though.
From the op I was maybe thinking some crossover signal interference, but with a number of you saying the same and now I've just tried my Bluetooth ear buds and they stutter a little too, I guess it's a more general issue. I doubt it's a hardware problem as Bluetooth isn't exactly a new thing, I can't see Samsung using shoddy radios. I assume software as stuttering seems worse with screen off, maybe some power saving feature misbehaving, or background processes not getting priority, I don't know. Hopefully an update fixes it.
Are any of you on custom ROMs and experiencing it?
I'm going to flash one as soon as my memory card arrives, I thought woohoo 128 GB, no need to buy yet another card for another device, then read all the development forums that say in the process you need to format data haha, so a card is needed after all ? But once I'm done I'll test Bluetooth again.

I just went through the list of apps and disabled battery optimizations for Bluetooth and the Deer music app. I also have disabled battery optimizations for Mobile Hotspot, in the Hotspot settings.
Next week I will try to test this and hope there will be a difference. If I can't notice any differences I think I will try to contact Samsung about this.
I know when I used CyanogenMod and LineageOS on my Samsung Note 3 the stutters were gone, but I don't want to flash my new Samsung Note 9 yet.

Yes I have done similar but not had chance to test it yet. I wouldn't waste your time contacting Samsung, they'll either fix it, or they won't, regardless of what anyone wants haha

Hmm, I've tested more today but disabling battery optimizations doens't do anything.
And I've noticed that these stutters are happening when receiving notifications, as mentioned above. So I think this has nothing to do with the Mobile Hotspot.
I hope Samsung fixes this, I'm not the one having this problem.
Im having B/T issues too. Random disconnects and reconnects, stuttering, etc.
Others on the Samsung forums are having the same issue.
There is something wrong with the bluetooth stack. This is undeniable.
I guess I'll hold on to my note 8 for now; reading alot of weird stuff about the 9, and a new flagship shouldn't have all this going on with it right out of the gate..

No issue at all. I stream youtube to my car aux bluetooth. I receive multiple notifications as well as calls.
Weird, some have stutter and some have not.
Will try to have the screen turned on while stream music, see if that makes any difference.
Or maybe changing Bluetooth settings in the Developer Options will do something.
Hmm, have the screen turned on while streaming dind't do anything and changing Bluetooth settings in the Developers Options didn't do anything as well.

My XZ2 often dropps known Bluetooth devices

Hi all,
I have the issue, that I need to reconnect my XZ2 to my BMW 1series (F20) really often, because it does not autoconnect when the ignition is turned on.
So I need to pair the XZ2 again and again with my car.
Also my BT-Sony Headset is affected.
It seems, that my Phone drops sporadically all paired bluetooth devices.
I noticed that I can bypass this problem with a daily reboot of my Phone. But this shouldnt be the Solution.
Any Ideas? Can someone confirm a Bluetooth problem?
Stock rom. Build 51.1.A.11.51 @ H8266

Try using new flasher to reinstall the latest firmware.
But delete the "userdata" file, it would remove your userdata.
I gather root, backuped my stuff with Titanium backup and wiped userdata, too.
Now my smart lock is working again.
Thx Martin. Hope pie fixed it.
I have an odd Bluetooth issue too, lately it's been disconnecting the ear buds while changing streaming apps (i.e. from Tidal to Spotify or Podcast) or when moving between networks, either between access points or from WiFi to cellular data. Just started happening this week. Didn't change anything that I can remember. It's almost behaving like there is a power saving feature enabled which is trying to save on Bluetooth use. Sometimes it'll reconnect on its own and sometimes I have to toggle BT. It's weird.
I also have Bluetooth issue.
I have a Bluetooth weighing scale,my xz2 can connect to it but everytime I sync my scale data the scale app gives me a Bluetooth error, however, I also have a xz and it works well.
And I also have a Sony ear phone(MDR-EX750BT), yesterday I connected it but it didn't play any sounds I had to reboot my phone ,then the issue disappeared. I don't know when the show again.this shouldn't be a Sony quality

yeah, ditto. The connection to my Sony WF-1000X earbuds is stable now, with no disconnects like I was getting with the later updates of Oreo.
FYI, I had to wipe my user partition to do the eventual update. the first flash via Newflasher where I kept it intact apparently went bad and messed up my radios and fingerprint scanner. that's the first time I've ever had issues doing that.
Now I am getting Bluetooth problems.
The music has stuttering and normal intervals.
Very disturbing.
I contacted the Sony support.

with what Bluetooth device?
so far with Advanced 3 and Sony WF-1000x earbuds it's been stable for me. As well as my car connection (Land Rover) and some shower speaker I've been using it with.

Sound Woes

Hi all,
Anyone face random times where the sound and microphone do not work until a reboot?
Thought it was Google assistant, but faced it again when setting up the car Bluetooth.
It's frustrating!
Currently on eu 9.7.11 ROM (unrooted).
Cheers,
Dave

It's annoying indeed. I have no solution at the moment. Maybe flash 10.3.15?
i am in 10.3.15, look like the bug fixed, been 3 days without mic and speaker problem.
Currently it's been fine, after a reboot all is stable so I shall see
No, the problem still persist in 10.3.15.

With all that installed you find the issue is resolved?
Yes, the phone must be with magisk installed and these modules should be activated. I've found this useful information in one of the threads in the forum.
