Bluetooth stereo headset: Sony DR-BT10CX
Problem: The playback pitch is changed after silence
The solutions form their support site http://www.sony.co.th/support/faq/189664/product/dr-bt10cx/modelfirst?site=hp_en_TH_i:
(1) Check interference with Wireless Lan or other Bluethooh connections.
(2) The communication condition may improve by sliding MODE switch to MODE 2
My question: what is MODE 2? How to switch to it? MODE 2=discoverable? MODE 1=connectable? Can someone answer, please?
Thanks in advance.

*My music is playing at different speeds, when connected to my bluetooth stereo headset (Sony, DR-BT10CX). Only when there's a silence, it is played at a higher speed and then at a slower speed, which is very annoying (it results in a false sounding song). It is a hardware-related problem discribed here: . General support site: http://www.sony.co.th/support/product/dr-bt10cx?site=hp_en_TH_i

HTC artemis, Moto HT820 headphones, touch 4.01 rom. on resume, it sounds *fractionally* faster for a second. I though I was imagining it...!
Update: The silence and pitch change is caused by interference with other wireless connections. In this case that is WiFi ~ wireless LAN. At the university some points are sensitive. Now, there is very little to no interference anymore. Speculative, the battery status may also play a role here.
Next to this, switching to MODE 2 (where the reception stability takes priority) might be a hardware switch on the Bluetooth headset, according to the manual of some other similar products. I haven't found such switch on my Sony.
I have it too
I have noticed the same on my EXIBEL BT stereo headset when listening to music from my TYTN II. It lasts for periods of several seconds, and is quite annoying. BTW, this happens even when i'm out walking in the open, presumably at a fair distance from any WIFI transmitters.
Yes, I have the same problem with my HTC One S (villec2) and cheapo sports headset. I can't really talk about the state of the art, since this phone is stuck on Android 4.1.1 -- but it just beggars belief that any developer anywhere thought it was acceptable to deal with buffer under/over-runs by varying the sample rate, and hence the pitch and tempo, during stereo playback. Do these people never listen to music?
What probably happened was that the Bluetooth audio system was originally designed for hands-free telephony, where low latency is paramount and pitch changes are barely noticeable since the content is just speech. This system was then re-used for stereo, when what they should have done was allow a larger buffer and longer latency (which doesn't matter with music playback) to cope with data interruptions. Lazy engineers.
Anyway, turning off Wi-fi greatly reduces the incidence of pitch shifts, but does not eliminate it completely. I look forward to the day when there is a supported custom ROM for my device based on Andriod >= 4.2, which apparently has improvements to Bluetooth data delivery. Bt I'm not holding my breath.
Bluetooth issue
I have the same problem with the Bluetooth skipping as well. I heard that it may be a interference problem with WiFi but its most likely the ROM. This ROM has stopped me from constantly switching to other roms because it has all the features I want and the battery life is great. I just hope that the Bluetooth issue can be fixed in time. :good: :good: for this amazing ROM though.
Does anyone have a problem with constant buffering when playing YouTube videos (especially HD videos) from the YouTube app while having Bluetooth headphones (or speakers) connected?
This problem seems to only occur when I use Bluetooth and wifi together, as this problem does not happen when I use wired headphones or view videos stored on an SD card. But I can stream Spotify audio while using the Bluetooth headphones without any problems. This makes me think that my wifi connection is slowed down when the Bluetooth headphones are connected, and YouTube videos keep buffering because the tablet cannot download the video fast enough. Is my tablet defective or is this a common bug on the Samsung Note 10.1 2014?
I also have problems with YouTube app...even without bluetooth on. I also have this problem with other bluetooth devices, like my bt keyboard and mouse....

Have you ever reset your bluetooth headset or speakers. It happened to me a couple time. Couldn't connect but after reset my bluetooth devices. It connected and work again. Also sometime my bluetooth headset is connecting to my phone and I m trying to connect it to my note 10.1 2014.

It seems there are some definite issues with bluetooth and this tablet and/or Android 4.3. I've noticed that my headphones disconnect from the tablet if no data is being sent to them for a minute or so, which seems to be similar to the common problem of bluetooth keyboards disconnecting fairly quickly. Although this problem isn't as big of a deal with bluetooth headphones, since data is constantly sent to the headphones.

I tried resetting my headphones, restarting the tablet, turning bluetooth and wifi on and off, but the problem still occurs. My headphones connect just fine to the tablet, and I can see in the bluetooth popup on the tablet that my headphones are connected. I can also stream any audio or video that is stored on the tablet without any problems, as well as stream audio to the headphones. The only thing I can't stream is YouTube videos. Also, these headphones work fine with the other devices I tried them on.

Unfortunately this is a known bug in Android. I am no expert and after doing some light research along the web, I am still not sure if the main problem lays on a physical interference between Bluetooth and the 2'4 GHz wifi signal, in software or in a combination of both.
Some video about this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbB7H0kk5MU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I asked a similar question in a "forever alone" post when I faced this problem for the first time with my S4. You will find the link to an informative thread about this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45227610
Fortunately my GN 10.1 2014 performs very well (no noticeable interference), but I think that my new router, with a wider wifi signal range, did the magic. In theory a 5GHz wifi signal has no interference with the 2.4 GHz Bluetooth signal.
I hope it helps

Thanks so much for the info and the links! I didn't realize that this was a known Android issue. I hope Samsung or Google can fix the issue in the future, although it seems like it has been occurring for at least a year, and it is not clear if it is a software or hardware issue. I'll try using a different router next. My current router is pretty old and doesn't support 5 Ghz, so :fingers-crossed: I'll be able to use bluetooth headphones and watch Youtube videos together.
Thanks again.

I have had the same problem with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse not working correctly, I found if I turn off the wifi radio on p600 I have up to 3 co current bluetooth connection going at he same time. when the wifi is on and active the bluetooth is dropping off think it has to do with wifi 4.0 radio in the tablet or the placements of the attennas in the tablet.
Same thing here
I'm having exactly the same problem. When I connect my p600 tablet to my bluetooth speakers the wifi stops working after a couple of minutes while using my tplink router. If I use my dlink router the wifi speed is greatIy reduced, I can still play "tune in radio" but the conection its to slow for youtube.
Issue RESOLVED on Windows 10 PC
I was having this problem and was breaking my head trying to understand why this was happening...I tested a set of Bluetooth headphones that had no mic and they worked fine, it was only my Bluetooth headphones with a mic when this would happen.
After so much troubleshooting I found that my Bluetooth headset was registering as both a headset and headphones and Windows was enabling the "headset" as the default communication device and the "headphones" as the default playback device. When both were active it made all streaming online videos buffer and never play.
When I disabled one of them the videos started to playback fine after one of the devices was disabled. Hope this helps in some way but I think it is the way the Bluetooth headset is registering as two different devices and causing a conflict. I wouldn't know how to fix this on a Galaxy Note but there may be a setting in Bluetooth connections where you can see this happening in Android like it does in Windows.

thanks this saved me some efforts...I am facing this issue with my Sony TV and Bluetooth speakers.. so was wondering how did it work before and started facing issue now. When I switched to 5G WiFi the issue got resolved. So previously when it worked I must be in 5G WiFi and face this issue when on 2.4G WiFi
I'm not sure if this is the right section for this, but since I presume the problem to be with the blitzer.de app (which is a radar warner) I figured I'd put it in the car section. Sorry if I figured wrong.
My phone (galaxy s8 unrooted stock rom) connects to my car's head unit via bluetooth for hfp and to another bluetooth device connected to the head unit's aux via aptx (hd or ll not sure right now).
The phone automatically starts the radar warner (blitzer.de) as soon as it connects to the hfp bluetooth (a built in feature of the app). However the radar warner itself is configured to use the phone's speakers. This setup works pretty nicely in most cases.
On my commute to work I like playing videos in the background using mxplayer (pro version) (audio output via bluetooth aptx, as described above). Somehow here and there the audio of the show I'm "watching" goes mute for about five to ten seconds sometimes. It does not make a difference, if the video is in the background or not. These issues usually do not coincide with announcements from the blitzer.de app. I'm only drawing this connection since this behavior only occurs in my car. Other apps like Poweramp and Spotify aren't affected as far as I can tell.
This has been driving me mad for months, so I thought I'd ask the pros
Any help is appreciated.
I have to redeem the Blitzer.de app. The problem occurs when it is not running aswell. I would change the title, but I couldn't figure out how to.
I think I found the culprit. I had Bluetooth Volume Control installed in order for the phone to remember the volume for different bt devices. Since I uninstalled it, the issue is gone. And since this feature is now integrated into Android Pie, i don't need the app to begin with.
The issue occured again today. So it was not caused by the Bluetooth Volume Control app either.
Pixel 6 Pro does not stay connected to the car Bluetooth. 2018 Tacoma. Audio works but the phones keeps cutting out or off. It will disconnect from the radio.
I just paired my P^P to my MB, no drops, works great.
Toyota needs to be upgraded.
Mine is working fine on 2020 Toyota RAV4.
I have to manually connect to my head unit with the 6 pro (use a tasker shortcut to speed it up). Weird. All of my prior phones connected automatically.
Don't have any issues with my watch or pixel buds autoconnecting.
Mine is working fine. Lexus NX300h. Also Android Auto (wired) works fine.
Also working on my Benz SLK 300.
No issue with mine on a few different VWs I've been driving. Also android auto is working fine both wired and wireless, although I have to turn off my adguard VPN to get it to work wirelessly so I tend not to use that.
i am having the same issue in my 2007 tundra my op7p worked perfectly but the p6p is terrible, it will disconnect and get choppy for about a minute then it works perfectly until i turn the truck off then it happens again at next connection. very very aggravating
The bluetooth on my Pixel 6 Pro has been working great with the aftermarket android radio in my F150. I use it with Tasker to fire up the WiFi hotspot so I can listen to Spotify while I drive and haven't had any problems.
My wife was having this issue where the Bluetooth would disconnect after a minute on a phone call with her highlander. Someone else had mentioned that they noticed theirs would only disconnect when the screen was off. I told my wife to plug in her phone so the screen stays on, and it no longer disconnects. I never had the issue on my Camry, but my screen is generally on if I'm on the phone.
Edit: also turn on the A2DP hardware offload in developer settings if you haven't already.

I was seeing this also. It was working for a while and then at some point would just randomly disconnect. I'm using a completely custom IVI based on Dragonboard 820c and Automotive Mezzanine; https://www.aprax.tk/auto/ which is, coincidentally, also in a Tacoma.
I have NOT seen it lately though, likely since the January update. I'm running the January 14th release of Graphene; https://grapheneos.org/releases#stable-channel
I tried to see if anyone posted a similar question but haven't found anything. Is anyone else having issues with their Pixel 6 Pro while connected to Android Auto? I have 3 issues that are bugging the crap out of me.
1. Every time I connect my phone to the car, it always pops up asking permission to connect to this "new" uConnect device. Its been connected hundreds of times, and even adding it as a trusted device, it still pops up.
2. The sound quality is absolute garbage. Its muddy and heavy on the mid level. I have tried to compensate by adjusting the EQ in the head-unit, and Spotify. It helps, but not much. I have tried my old Note 10+ and the quality is perfect.
3. Often when receiving a phone call, I can answer and control the call using the head-unit, but the audio is going to the phone and not the car speakers.
I have been able to replicate this with both of our Pixel 6 Pro's, and in both of our vehicles (2019 Durango R/T, and 2020 RAM 2500)
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: this is wired using different cords for troubleshooting purposes.
I have none of those issues but my issue with aa is that it keeps turning off preview incoming message
Issue #3 I do get from time to time. Annoying AF. Also trusted device only last 4 hours I believe which I think is ridiculous.
imo... Spotify always sounds like crap.
Haven't had any of these issues at all. Everything works well for me on the December update.
I have none of these issues, but the issue I get is specific to Google Maps on Android Auto. When I'm navigating somewhere, often at the start of the trip Google Maps cannot get a GPS lock on me and the map skips all over the place, constantly rerouting me. After I continue to drive I eventually will get GPS lock and then everything works fine.
Using Waze on Android Auto, everything works fine. I get GPS lock instantly when I switch to the Waze app on Android Auto. So all I can conclude is the issue is specific to Google Maps... It's not that big of a deal but can be very annoying.
Edit: I'm on wireless with a Pioneer AVH deck.
My wifes Pixel 6 works fine apart from the battery icon constantly flashing on and off (on the car display)
I don't have any issues with Android Auto in my 2020 Subaru, and neither does my wife.
No, I don't have these issues either. Working fine for me on Lexus NX.
Edit: "wired" that is (to be clear).
I am not seeing any issues in my 2020 Kia Soul. I use the wireless android auto adapter (AAWireless from Indiegogo) so I do not have to plug it in though.
Could your uConnect system need an update? You can check here for one: https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/software-update.html

Great Idea, unfortunately they are already up to date on the software. That AAWireless thing is pretty cool, but plugging it in doesn't bother me that much, plus I know its charging.

I always have issues with cables that keep disconnecting and have to unplug and re-plug in (both my car & my wife's 2016 Hyundai Sonata). The AAWireless is very handy in that regards. It will occasionally freeze up, but very rarely after a few OTAs ago. The only downside that I have found is that if you get too close to the vehicle with BT Headphones (mowing or other yardwork typically), it will connect to the AAWireless and cut off audio to the BT Headphones. I just unplug the AAWireless from the car until I am done then.
I should mention all my issues only occur when I'm wireless in my car. When I use wired in my friends car, it works fine.

Personally, I do not have an Android Auto enabled car.
I can tell though that there were numerous reports in the past (XDA, Reddit, Discord, Telegram) of people having problems with Android Auto. Now the problem with that, is...
a) Android Auto has always been buggy - even with cable. I have friends that have been trying to get Android Auto to reliably work with their Samsungs (cable) for years, and their attempt are still a work in progress. It's a hit-and-miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
b) Android 12 is extra buggy and has been known to cause problems with Android Auto (reports of Samsung owners upgrading to A12)
c) Pixel 6 Pro is extra special buggy and it's more or less unknown at this point, if Android Auto issues are caused by Auto Auto being a buggy mess, Android 12 being a buggy mess, Pixel 6 being a buggy mess or a culmination of the three together.
d) Plus, there is a massive difference in reliability between Android auto cable vs. wireless.
I did see some workarounds floating in the web, you might be able to find them in Reddits GooglePixel group.
In the end though, your best bet (longterm) would probably be: Go into settings, report the problem directly to Google and make sure that all your friends and family that also use Android Auto do the same.
