[Q] Bluetooth Low Energy, the reason for bad sound quality? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought myself a Sony Smartband 2 SWR12 about a week ago, since I installed the official app for it my bluetooth soundquality is horrible.
Has anyone ever experienced this issue or knows what to do? Even when the Smartband is not connected the quality is still bad. I guess it has to do with the app. Some kind of Bluetooth-Driver thing due to the installation of the app.
Any ideas on howto fix this?
Thanks in advance

Bluetooth problem!! Can anyone help?

Hi guys,
Because of this problem I get almost sorry that I had taken a Galaxy Nexus.
I can pair Nexus with my carkit (parrot) and I can play audio through the speakers.
My problem is: When I call or receive a call I can hear almost nothing. Sound is so low that I can not even notice that the sound from the speakers or coming from the phone. I am using Volume+ too but nothing helps!!
It's look like that Nexus somehow even loses the connection, without any reason.
It's a rooted Nexus and running on AOKP.
Is there a better ROM for my bluetooth issue or do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance..
No one??
Has nobody has an idea or experince with this??
The market description for Volume+ says:
A Cyanogen Mod 7 or MIUI ROM is HIGHLY recommended. Running this app on a Stock ROM/Kernel may result in it not working, being far too quiet, or getting even quieter. PLEASE don't comment or rate badly if you are on a Stock ROM as this is most likely the problem.

The feature list for AOKP says it uses the "Unsecure boot.img (stock AOSP kernel)."
You might want to try uninstalling the application to see if that fixes your sound issues over bluetooth.
I am using a stock (unrooted) GSM Galaxy Nexus. It pairs just fine with my Jawbone Era bluetooth headset and do not have an issue when making/receiving calls with volume. Where I notice the volume is quite low is the voice dialer prompt only (the actually call is fine). Apart from that, no issues.
miui..
Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies.
I flashed the rom of miui and it's seems to work till now. So this rom dealing better with bluetooth.

Mic volume issue after EU OTA

Hi all,
Quick question, has anyone experienced issues with the microphone while using Skype or Hangouts after the latest (last week's) OTA for Europe?
At first I thought it was bad design on a case I got, but the issue persists even without the case (and there actually is a hole in the plastic for the mic), tried Hangouts to make sure it wasn't just Skype, so I'm thinking it might have to do with the OTA update.
The mic wasn't doing wonders with capturing before, but it appears to be unusable for Skype now unless the tablet is held at the same distance as a phone.
On a relevant note, is anyone aware of any tools that could help adjusting mic gain or disabling the automatic gain control/ noise cancellation features?
ROM is stock LG, rooted.
Me too
Same here with the exact same setup.
I've tried alsamixer but this proves useless until you know witch setting is involved among hundreds of available mixers.
I wonder if an external bluetooh or USB microphone is not a better option.
EiZ
Same issue
I just recently got the G pad and I definitely have a problem with the mic. Is this happening on all the G pads or do you think is a hardware issue on my device?
I tried with Skype and Hangouts and my voice was barely audible on the other end. Just to make sure it was not my internet connection I tried with my old trusty Galaxy S2, no problems there so it is definitely a problem of the G Pad.
I have no screen, warming, yellow lines, light bleeding or any other issue. So, the device is perfect except for the mic, do you think it is worth to take it back to the shop to exchange it for a new one or this will not cure the mic problem?
Any luck tweaking the mic in software btw? Finally, has anybody tried to use a bluetooth headset and microphone with it, is it possible?
Thanks!
I am also having mic issues currently on sw ver v50010a.
it seems very quiet. update is downloading so will see how it compares.
I'm on software ver V50010b and I keep having issues with the microphone.
Don't know what to do... the rest of the tablet is perfect, so I'm afraid to exchange it just for this issue and get a new one with more problems.

Bluetooth Audio Problems

Is anyone else having problems with Bluetooth Audio on Kitkat. Mine glitches quite oftemn with my Sony MW600 headphones and also my Bose Soundlink 2 Speaker, I didn't notice it before KitKat? I have also tried the Headset-Bluetooth-Fix_CWM but no change really?
Any solutions out there? anyone else using similar Hardware to mine without problems?

Hi,
I also have all sorts of problems with bluetooth, but I have not been able to find a good fix. To me it seems like issues with 4.4.2 and not specifically the Galaxy Note II. Looking at a LG forum, some guys adviced that switching off WIFI seemed to help. I have tried it out for one of my problems (microphone on BT headset stopping in the middle of a phone call), and it actually seemed to help. You could try it out.
Initially I thought it was issues with a Sony SBH-52 headset, but now that I also have issues (though different) with a Jabra Play, I have come to the conclusion that it must be the phone (software).
I am in contact with my local Samsung support team, and trying to see if they want to take the phone in for service.
Good luck!

Bluetooth Headset Microphone Problems

This is a really strange one. Checking to see if anyone has experienced the same.
On my LG G4, when I turn on my Bluetooth earpiece, anyone I'm speaking with says they can barely hear me. The moment I turn it off and revert to using the phone or some other headphones that you plug in (not bluetooth), the sound returns to normal.
I'm stumped and am blaming it on the phone because the problems started the moment I got the G4. The bluetooth device works just fine with the Note 4.
I'm thinking of doing a factory reset but if that doesn't fix it, this phone is being returned.
Anyone else experience something similar?
On a set of lg time pros, and no issue here. Also fine in two different cars.
Bluetooth is way better and more reliable than my g3 was.
I have the same problem with LG G3 and Plantronics M165 Bluetooth headset. Did you manage to solve your issue?

Bluetooth problems after rooting

I have a S9 (Snapdragon) and recently I've installed a custom rom on it. After that, I could notice that my bluetooth connection quality dropped a lot.
The phonecalls in my car's media have a horrible sound quality and I have been having problems with spotify connectivity.
Anyone have a light for me?

I'm gonna assume its us model. Rooting should have no bearing on bluetooth quality. There was an issue losing pairing after reboot but since fixed
