Since I got this phone back in may I have had a constant issue with crappy sound quality when using bluetooth. I connect it to my car stereo or a bt headset and I get either low radio quality sound or normal sound quality with a static hiss or bump every so often. The problem is persistent through pandora and last.fm. My laptop can stream bt to both of my audio devices perfectly fine.
I have tried several different roms (pre RC cyan, to RC cyan, skyraider 2.5 vanille, stock 2.2, and currently skyraider 3.3.2 sense).
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks
First thing I would try as trouble shooting is disable wifi when you use your bluetooth products.
Weather you see improvement our not, the second thing I would look at is all of my market apps to see if they are wifi or bluetooth apps. Disable/Uninstall suspect apps.
This may not be the solution, but it's where I would start in hopes of a simple solution.
I should have mentioned in my op that I had disabled wifi already.
I disabled all my apps except pandora. This did not fix it. Good idea though.
I am currently running the Purity 4.4 JB 4.2.1 version of Android on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I have tried several ROMS to no avail. I pair my phone to BT devices with no problem. The phone shows Media Connected in the Bluetooth settings however when I attempt to stream audio to my car or bluetooth speaker, the sound just plays on the phone. I have attempted to use several apps (including Google Music) to attempt to force the sound to the speaker with no luck. I've seen a bunch of issue threads where Bluetooth issues ranging from audio quality being poor to issues with streaming. I haven't found a single response thread that solves the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thank you!
Hi. Wondering if anybody could help. When I connect my oneplus 5T to my car I have problems. When it starts to call it disconnects the bluetooth from the car completely. However the call continues on the phone which is a complete pain as you cant use it through the hands free. Car is a BMW 630CI with pro nav if that helps.
Many Thanks
i first had problems to connect to my audi A3 bluetooth ... it simply didn´t find it
after trying again and changing the bluetooth audio codec it suddenly worked ...
Idk if it will work for you, but you can try changing the codec and se if it helps
Hi. Ive tried all 3. It connects fine and I can see my contacts but as soon as I hit dial it disconnects from the car.
Very strange.
Thanks for the suggestion tho
with mine in my car it every now and then gives me this a crackling sound.. Kind of irritating, I'm hoping a software update down the road fixes this.. I've tried all 3 codecs
Having issues with Bluetooth connection on my Prius Prime as well. It always disconnects, I had to disable Bluetooth on the phone and re-able it for it to work.
I experience the same with my Boss QC35. First connection, audio breaks with lots of noise and had to disable it and re-enable it.
Still found no solution. Hope the next update sorts it out as the bluetooth seems a mess.
So after looking around, there are issues with certain codecs and devices connecting being posted in the OP community forums. My Sony WH1000xm2 headphones stutter when using AptX HD. My JBL Everest 750NC's - if you turn the volume up too high, they disconnect from the phone. In my Cadillac ATS, whenever you place a call it'll stay connected, but you won't hear anything, and the other user can't hear you either.
I think they've acknowledged the issues and are working on them, but after putting Oreo on my Moto G5 Plus and Oreo's ability to change between all codec's on the fly (including native LDAC support!) I'm anxiously awaiting Oreo to be 'officially' released.
I'd say just be patient.. I'm sticking with this phone because I think it'll be worth it in the end. Wish I had better news!
so I resolved my Bluetooth issues by flashing FreedomOS. Now there is no intermittent crackling sound now and there is no issues at all ymmv, this was just my experience.
Thanks. Will wait for Oreo and then try different roms if it continues.
on FreedomOS before, it was giving me headache re-connecting to my Subaru car bluetooth, like after you shutoff engine, go somewhere and come back, unless you manually force connecting to the car, it barely auto reconnect back.
And also takes so long to get data sync from my Fitbit chargeHR to the app.
I don't think this kind of bluetooth issue related to what rom we have but the kernel and more specifically BT firmware.
-----edit-------
My friend also got BT issue when he tried to connect to BT headset. Hope Oneplus get something fixed on new oreo or updates
Just an update. Since upgrading to the official Oreo rom my problems have disappeared and my phone now works fine with the car Bluetooth.

I still have problems. Pause and unpause, and the track restarts. After ending a phone call the track restarts. 2018 RAM, Uconnect
With stock ROM 4.7.2 bluetooth connected only for a few seconds with my Audi A6. With every following stock ROM version it didn't even connect.
I tried every single Audio-Codec and the different settings in developer options - nothing helped. Once I cleared data & cache from the bluetooth system apps followed with a soft brick
Hi all,
Had same issues with my Hyundai ix35 and oneplus 5t (Nougat), tracks skipping, distorted audio in calls, etc... Tried emptying bluetooth cache, switching audio codecs without success. Now I just received the OTA update to Oreo (8.0), Oxygen rom 5.0.3 and it solved the issues!!! Yeay, no more auxilary cable hanging around !

I started from scratch but the issue persists.
I am having the same issue in my car. It no longer displays track information and the connection is not very stable. I will try switching the codec and report back.
i don.t have any volume control from the phone basically when i connect it to my car stereo
i can control the volume for the first 4-5 clicks ... and then the slider moves but there is no difference in the volume
i have to turn the volume from the stereo almost to the max
whit my old samsung tablet works great ... i have maybe 50% more volume then with my phone
tried all codecs ...
See title. Also experiencing audio skipping when connected to my car. I believe it may have to do with connecting/disconnecting to Wi-Fi, as it eventually gets better after awhile.
I have a pair of powerbeats 2 that worked fine when I first got my 5t two weeks ago. Now I have to go to Bluetooth settings to turn them on and can't control any of the buttons like volume and skipping tracks. Seems like none of the controls for the earbuds work. The main concern is how low the audio is. I have to have the volume set to max in order to hear anything.
I did try switching Bluetooth settings from sdc to aptx or whatever. Tried resetting data/cache in bluetooth settings. No luck.
I'm sort of convinced there's some interference with my Fitbit, as I just started using this device recently. I really hope this isn't the case. I've also tested the headphones on other phones and the sound quality is fine.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have multiple Bluetooth connection issues with this new phone out of the box. When connected to my car stereo the sound stutters or skips at random times. On my headset, it will much less often pause the track, then I have to play it again. I've tried the following general troubleshooting:
Clearing spotify cache
Changing the Bluetooth developer settings (They don't stick)
Reinstalling app
Rebooting device
Playing in airplane mode with bt on
Updating system to most recent update as of 7/18
Keeping screen on
Resetting stereo
Unpair and repair connection
Excluding Spotify AND Bluetooth services from battery saving
Disabling Xperia sound enhancements
Disabling Xperia intelligent engine
I'm honestly out of ideas at this point and the problem is extremely persistent. I never get lucky and go more than 5 minutes without the audio briefly cutting out. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?
Try playing around with the Bluetooth settings in developer options, and see if the AVRCP version or a different codec helps.
Hi,
I have Bluetooth trouble with a Big Jambox too. Multimedia (sound) is not streaming and strangely I can receive and send calls over the box ??!!
Playing with codec, wipe Bluetooth cache, unpair / pair the device,... nothing did the trick.
This a long-standing issue, since the Android Oreo pre build witch is not resolved in the 8.0 version (I could read this on the web).
For some people, the 8.1 version resolve the problem. I'm waiting for a update and hope.
