[Q] Bluetooth in car stuttering issue fix? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Verizon LG G3 and when I try to play Pandora or Google Play or any audio with music, it stutters uncontrollably and the music is speeds up after about 2 seconds. Like a playing a record on a fast setting with a bunch of stuttering. I have tried ARC but no change. I have cleared the cache, still doesn't work. I have unpaired the device and repaired it without allowing UConnect to have access to call log and phonebook.
I don't know if this is just a lemon of a phone or if maybe the car bluetooth isn't compatible for some off reason? I have a 2011 VW Routan with Uconnect as the car system.
Calls are no problem although from time to time I am told from the person I am talking to that I am cutting in and out occasionally.
Phone is stock.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Motorola S9-HD problems..

Hi, I'm having issues with my brand new, just bought today Motorola S9HD bluetooth headphones. I am having three issues so far:
First Issue: The headphones seem to work with the Google Music player (stock, but newest version via market), but I cannot use seek controls, play/pause.
FIRST ISSUE SOLVED BY REMOVING WP7 MUSIC PLAYER AND ONLY HAVING STOCK ON THE DEVICE.
Second Issue: While I'm listening to music, I sometimes want to make a quick call. I assume with these I should be able to hit the call button, which goes to voice commands, then I say who I want to call, and boom, done. BUT! whenever the screen is off and I'm listening to music, then click the call button, it gives me three or so beeps but never quits playing music and never goes to voice commands. THE ANNOYING SOLUTION THAT I FOUND: When I turn on the screen, I am able to click the call button and go into voice commands, call whoever, etc.
SECOND ISSUE NOT SOLVED EVEN AFTER SWITCHING TO STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER.
Third Issue: For some reason, I will get a random space (0.5 seconds to 1 second) randomly of no music, then it resumes. BUT sometimes it just all together stops playing music. I have left it for a couple minutes to see if it'll resume, but it doesn't. Then I look at the phone and it says it's still working, and the only way to make it play music through the headphones again is to restart bluetooth via the phone.
THIRD ISSUE POSSIBLY SOLVED BY USING STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER INSTEAD OF WP7 MUSIC PLAYER. BUT SUGGESTIONS ARE STILL WELCOME.
Thanks for all your help!
2nd issue: did you tell it the first time what voice control you want to use? Like Vlingo, google voice, google search, etc.
3rd issue: no clue, mine does that too and it is annoying. I notice it gets worse if the battery is 2 or so hours without a charge.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try assigning the voice commands app.

muy issue with my Moto S(HD is that I continually have to re-pair every time I try to use them. anyone know why?
Regarding item #3, I think this is more related to the bluetooth stack on the Atrix crashing than it is related to the S9HDs. I don't have that problem with my S9HDs, but I routinely get it when paired to my car stereo. Probably happens once a week with my car stereo, whereas I've only seen it once in several months with my S9HDs. I'm hoping the bluetooth stack has been improved when we get gingerbread shortly.
I've a nokia BH503 BT headset ATM and never had those issues. It works with EVERY app on the phone, even the emulators, games and notifications sounds through the bluetooth headphones. I luv it.
Before my motorola atrix I used a Blackberry Storm + motorola S9HD BT headphones, and had exactly the same issues u report...
I have the S9HDs and I get pauses too. The thing that frustrates me is that it depends on where I have my phone. I have a jacket in wear when I bike ride that has a pocket on the inside. If I put the phone in there it constantly pauses. If I put my phone in my pants pocket it doesn't pause at all.
It seems like an easy solution, keep the phone in my pants pocket, but I wear workout type pants when riding and they are not deep pockets so I'm afraid the phone will fall out. It just doesn't make sense that the farther I put the phone from the headphones the better it works.

I use these, and play music with PlayerPro............have no issues. Don't call often with the headphones, but have not had problems with them there either.
I routinely have my phone in my pants pocket while I walk around the office listening to music, and never lose my connection.
Not much help I know, but there are I guess some of us who don't experience bluetooth issues.
I installed playerpro, and I'm liking it so far.

S9 HD's reception is really bad. And I tell you cuz I had those. I mean, u canĀ“t use the phone on your pants' pocket without lil skips... Nokias' reception rocks, and the battery last longer.
The problem with the s9 hd cutting out is reception. I have been using this headset for about 2 years while riding my motorcycle, with three different phones. They all had the same problem. With phone in my front pants pocket the problem persists. With phone in my shirt pocket, or in a backpack behind me, it never cuts out.

Bluetooth and/or Pandora problems?

Is anyone having problems with their bluetooth locking up? I am getting various issues that all seem to be related to the bluetooth. I routinely connect to a Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth speakerphone in my car and stream music, mostly Pandora but sometimes google music or other players.
This morning I turned on the speakerphone and immediately watchdog told me that bluetoothd and pandora services were both stuck at 40% each. I hadn't even launched pandora since the last reboot. Had to restart the phone.
Other times I will go to turn on the speakerphone and it will not connect. I try to turn bluetooth on and off. It shuts off fine but hangs turning on. Usually about 30 seconds later the entire phone becomes unresponsive and I have to restart it by holding power. Putting it in and out of flight mode does the same thing.
Still other times I will shut the speakerphone off or walk out of range and the bluetooth icon on the phone continues to show connected. Sound may or may not come out of the phone and the volume control says bluetooth audio. Again restarting bluetooth locks up the phone and requires a restart.
Lastly sometimes bluetoothd and/or pandora will randomly go haywire and hang with high CPU utilization.
Anybody else seeing any or all of these symptoms or have any ideas. I am rooted and have the 2.3.6 update. Pretty sure the problems were occuring before the update, not sure about before the root.
Thanks...
Yes I am having similar problems when using bluetooth to connect to my home based panasonic DECT phone system. A reboot of the phone does repair the issue. It seems to occur every 24-72 hours, if the phone is not rebooted. My blackberry connects via bluetooth to the same panasonic phone system without issue. I suppose it could be a problem between multiple bluetooth devices. I suspect it is a SW bug though, because a simple reboot has always resolved the problem for me.
Do you have pandora installed? I uninstalled it yesterday and haven't had the problem yet. Did plenty of streaming with Google Music.
One thing I forgot to add. When the device says that is connected and sending out audio over the bluetooth, such as music, but it is really not, I get a moment of audio out of the built in speakers before it turns off.

Yes....we do have pandora installed...and now that you mention it; I believe it is quite possible that we only have the problem when we run pandora after a reboot. Because for the past few days there has been no issue. And I believe during this time I have not been using pandora. If it is Pandora...hopefully a future pandora bug fix will repair the issue.
Since I uninstalled Pandora I have not had a single lockup in almost two weeks. I guess I'll message Pandora and see if they'll fix it.
Edit - Looks like they may have fixed it. Crossing fingers.

Streaming bluetooth audio while moto 360 synced question

Hello,
Just wonder if I am alone on this one. I noticed today that when I stream music on my note3 to my car while being connected to the moto that the must quality dropped. I use Google play all access paid feature. This has never happened before when I didn't have the watch synced.
Has anyone else heard of this? I am going to try to use spotify tonight and see if it was a Google server issues or my signal.
Thank you
Custom rom?
It's possible the music streaming is maxing out the bluetooth and the watch updating itself is just too much, but for a Note 3 it should be no sweat...
I havent noticed any problem like that... you sure your audio quality from the play music itself isnt lower?
same here, no problem..same situation, same quality
Does anyone know how to NOT have Google music on the watch? I took it away from notification on the wear app but it still happens. I don't want to see what is playing or skip to next track on the watch.. For this reason and i'm sure its killing battery lift if I go on a long trip if it updates after each song.
I haven't noticed any problems. Nexus 5, All Access, with my BT speaker and in my Mazda, it works same as before I had the watch.

I notice the audio from my car cuts out or stutters. This is when I have my watch connected to my phone too. I never had this issue prior to the watch.
I'm using a LG G2 running Optimus 1.3.2 rom
On the latest PA Beta 2 Rom on my Nexus 5 and no issues connecting to my HTC Stereo clip. Used with spotify, poweramp, n7 player and other players as well.
I'm having an issue with audio dropping out and being interfered with too. Oneplus One, Moto 360, Audi Bluetooth audio. Very frustrating. Sometimes I can hear the quality level of the music change when it drops out, almost like it's trying different bitrates or codecs to fix the issue.
Least I am not the only one, but mine never actually drops. But I can just tell the quality go down. Like going from 256kb to 128kb..This is even music that loaded on my phone, Not spotify or Pandora.
Are you using ART or Dalvik runtime? This was happening to me after switching to Dalvik. Switching back to Dalvik solved it.
I noticed the audio quality drop as well on my HTC One m7, stock rooted. I first noticed it dropped slightly after getting a bluetooth obd reader but it wasn't enough to really worry about. Then, after getting my moto 360, the quality dropped even more to the point I had to stop using bluetooth for streaming music and use an auxiliary cable instead. So, it seems it's just using up too much of whatever bluetooth bandwidth is available so the audio quality drops in order to compensate.
I have this problem to, using a LG G3 with ART, I have to disconnect the moto 360 from the phone to have a good audio.
No problems here with my Note 3 connected to my M360 and Ford Sync.
This is a question I keep checking on too. Seems like the common factor for people not having issues drive a Ford, using Ford Sync.
I drive a Toyota [emoji107]
I've switched roms on my Lg G2. Im currently running Liquid Smooth (with ART enableD) and have not had any issues. I am streaming from my Google Music and bluetooth is connected to watch and my car. Cutting out and stutters are gone.
So may be ROM specific?
Small update; connected to a a Pioneer AVH- 200BT and the watch with no issues.
I'm having the same problem. My Moto 360 is constantly connected to my stock Moto x (original). When I stream audio over bluetooth from my phone to my car radio, the phone and radio randomly lose their connection to each other. Sometimes they appear to be paired and my phone says that it's playing, but no audio is coming out of the radio, so I have to cycle the phone's bluetooth off & on again to get audio working again.
Edit: I just found a thread on Motorola's official forum for the 360. Matt, the forums manager, thinks that the bluetooth capacity of the phone is being overloaded.
No issues with my note 2 connected to watch and my Hyundai car audio

After some more testing I still have the same issue, Works perfect with watch disconnected. There isn't some kind of widget or toggle that can discount/reconnect only the watch is there? without going to the wear app.
But I did find this, it has something with the music controls on the watch. I was uninstalling Spotify and reinstalling it. Before the watch was synced knowing I have the spotify app, I was able to use the app and play perfect audio. Of course this doesn't last long before the watch kicks in. After doing more re-search we CANT disable the controls on the watch no matter what. Least with the current version we are on, Hopefully that will change.

[Q] Lollipop Stock Bluetooth Audio Unusable

Is anyone else having Bluetooth audio problems on 5.0? I can play music and video just fine over Bluetooth, but whenever I launch a game like Real Racing 3 my audio completely breaks up, and is unusable. It's not stutter every few seconds, it's a constant break up of the sound.
I've tried a few different games, and two different Bluetooth audio devices, no joy.
Odd thing is, this issue is the same when I try to do a screen cast to my chromecast. The audio is completely messed up and stuttering.
My N7 2013 is on stock (no root) Android 5.0. I did a clean install, formatting the entire tab. I have very little installed on it. I've done some searching here and on Google but all the posts relate to the 4.4.2 update, and was meant to be fixed...

[Q] Bluetooth in car phone audio problem

Hello everyone,
I have a stock LG G3 (D852/Fido) with the OTA update to Android 5.01 installed (I had the phone for a week before they pushed the OTA).
I have a Subaru Forester with the Clarion CF625UM radio. My phone connects with Bluetooth every time. The music plays perfectly, and the phone audio the callers/called hear is perfect. The problem is with the in car phone audio. So much chuffing that I cannot hear the callers. I have tried the phone on other CF625UM radios with the same result. Someone tried an iPhone 6 on my radio, worked perfectly so I'm guessing it's my phone.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
V

I have this problem when playing music through my speakers on my car. What I do every time I get in the car is connect and begin to play music. Then I got to my recents tab and clear everything. This will kill the music and the phone will still be connected via bluetooth. Now everything works fine -- for me.
Seems to me that if you don't kill all the apps the bluetooth gets overloaded and has a hard time pushing information through. I got to this conclusion after scanning for another bluetooth device. While is was scanning the music was skipping non-stop. I concluded that when it skips, it's overloaded -- so I kill every app so only my music is being transmitted (and phone on standby).

Thanks for the reply.
I tried your method, unfortunately it did not work for me. I guess I'll have to wait for 5.1 to be pushed to my phone and hope for the best.
