When I'm playing YouTube playlists while working out in the mornings, I notice that Bluetooth randomly cuts out and I have to close the app and reopen it to get audio to start again. Does anyone else have this issue and is there a way to make BT audio more reliable in the YouTube app? I think I may have experienced this issue with my Note 9 and YouTube, so it may not just be an issue I'm having with the Fold.
I had this issue with my Essential ph1. Hasn't happened yet with the fold
i would check Settings / Apps / Youtube.
both Battery and Data.
for Battery: make sure Background Activity is on for the battery, and app is NOT optimized for battery.
for Mobile Data: make sure Background Activity is allowed, and Allow Data during data saving
checking these settings usually works for me when apps start cutting out.
especially on samsung phones. samsungs sleep modes seem to be much stronger than other manufacturers.

Anyone having any problems running aftermarket roms? I'm on Liquidsmooth and I am extremely dissapointed in the bluetooth quality. About to go back to stock or get rid of the tablet to just use my tab pro instead. IT doesn't skip or pause but it like, mutes for a second every 5 or so seconds. Its not consistent. But it happens soo much it gets me really angry. I'm on a fresh copy of LiquidSmooth. Haven't really done anything and nothing is running in the background that could be taking up all the system resources. I've even tried multiple music players even tho they all are horrible except PowerAmp which still doesn't have a tablet mode years after said feature was in the works.
You know of any fixes?
Googled Android Bluetooth Skip and seems its a very common problem among a few devices including the Note 4.... I don't have any issues with my Tab Pro, Just Tab S... This is bugging me because its main function is to play Music Via Bluetooth. Would prefer it through RCA/3.5mm but I don't have one
Had the same problem with my phone, solved it by adding the bluetooth device as a trusted device, so that when connected to bluetooth speaker the phone doesnt lock its self, done the same on my tab s and no problems streaming music using google music, as far as i can figure out its related to the kernel lowering the cpu speed when the screen locks, so you may be able to solve the prob using a kernel manager and increasing the idle speed, but personally i like the phone not locking when listening to music as i can access the player without unlocking, making it easier to put on a different album or song, hope this helps

Use to have similar issues with the stock player on another device.
Solved it with Playerpro.
Install from play then in the app open settings then go to Audio.
Select to install the dsp pack then make sure it's active.
You will see a new option 'Audio buffer' change this to large. See how you go.
Seems to me also like an audio buffering issue (I think PowerAmp has a larger one by default). You could try raising the minimum CPU frequency since this us often the cause for problems kind this.
On that note, don't forget that none TW based ROMs don't have support for the APT-X codec that provides vastly better audio quality over Bluetooth as long as your audio adapter/headphones/car audio supports it as well. Nothing to do with the issue at hand though.
Its not a buffering issue. Its an audio pause issue. Its extremely common with Note 4 and some others. I solved it by going to a TouchWiz OEM style rom. The AOSP roms seem to all do it. Adjusting buffering settings changes nothing. Its as if the bluetooth drivers aren't capable of handling the "power" of whats going on. The Music still plays during the pause.
So far TW Roms seem to be the best for Bluetooth Audio. I use it daily since the Tablet is the main front end to my car, with a Sony 610BT AppRemote Deck.
Is anyone else able to stream movies from this phone to their DLNA devices (my case I use either Panasonic smart TV or Xbox One to stream to)? I've tried AllConnect and BubbleUPnP (and lesser know ones from google play) and they all drop connection between 5 - 15 minutes into the stream. I've tried turning off battery optimisation on the apps but it made no difference, nor did a reset. On occasion the phone even soft reboots whilst streaming.
Never had this problem on my android tablet or other phones. Any ideas?
I'm on the latest stock android nougat, unrooted. Never got to see if it worked on MM.
Hi guys, could anyone help me out with this?
Had a bit of a breakthrough with it today... the phone streams video perfectly without cutting off after 5/10mins if I set the phone to 'stay awake while charging' in developer options and leave it plugged in. I assume by activating that setting there are processes being overridden and prevented from occurring that cut the video stream off in normal use.
Perhaps some system process related to doze/battery optimization?
I keep having regular Chromecast issues since upgrading to Android Pie. What it does is if I'm connected, playing audio to any of my Google Homes or even the Chromecast on my TV, is it will become disconnected. For example this morning I was trying to play a podcast from Pocketcasts to my Google Home in my kitchen and it had trouble connecting at first and then kept disconnecting. It would continue to play on the Google Home but when looked at my phone it shows it stopped playing, was now out of sync and I could no longer control it (pause/play). I did a second fresh install of Pie but still having the same issues. Someone told me it was the battery monitoring stopping stuff in the background and killing my Chromecast connection. I turned off adaptive battery and it seems better. Is there just a way to tell it not to close certain apps?
I cast Hulu and MLB at Bat to ChromeCast Ultra / TV, and Play Music to two Home Max & three Mini many hours of the day with few issues. I very rarely get errors from Hulu, but it is there servers giving Hulu error codes.

You may want to leave adaptive battery on and try to exclude your audio player from battery optimization.

I know how to do that for an app but is there a way to stop it from stopping Chromecast itself from being "optimized". Because I think it's still stopping the Chromecast connection even if I stop it for try specific app.

Go to settings/type in battery optimization on the top search bar. Look for the app you want to un-optimize, and turn it off :good:

AFAIK there is no 'chromecast' application per se. Your phone tells the Chromecast where to get the stream, then the Chromecast and the source are directly connected. Sometimes the initiating app gets shut down and when you relaunch it there is a reconnection to the Chromecast to get stream state, but if you reboot your phone the Chromecast won't stop playing.

Ok. I think I'll just keep adaptive battery off for now because it's been messing up a ton of my apps. I cast numerous audio and video apps. Too bad. But thanks for the help. Hopefully it works. ?

Makes sense. What I said about the Chromecast isn't the case with all apps though, so if you're streaming Spotify or some other background media that isn't through Chromecast it might get shut down unless excepted.
Hi!
I have tried two headphones (Sennheiser M2 IEBT and Focal Listen Wireless) and two audio players (Youtube Music and BlackPlayer) and got the same result: after toggling a pause on headset any attempt to resume a playback after a couple of minutes results in nothing. That is Bluetooth control is lost. I'm forced to take a phone, unlock, start player and start playing back.
It is interesting, with Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4 I don't have the problem regardless headphones and players: Bluetooth control is kept at any case.
The most performant mode is selected in battery settings. The last official firmware (169) is installed.
Please, help me to resolve this very annoying issue!
I've noticed that when I play media content using a third-party app and then pause it from a Bluetooth device, sometimes that app gets terminated in the background and when I try to resume, it starts playing from the stock EMUI music app instead.
Although I haven't tried this, disabling battery optimisations for your music apps might prevent them from being terminated in the background.
Yes, all battery optimisations for players are disabled. Also, a lock was activated for players on recent apps screen.
I have tried a couple of settings on the developer configuration list (amount of background processes and amount of Bluetooth devices), but was not lucky.
Ok, can you, please, share your experience in having or not-having described problem?
Recently, my phone's started to randomly shriek with white noise and it scares me silly. I think I've narrowed it down to when bluetooth is enabled and playing music (spotify).
Has anyone ever encountered this issue or could suggest what solutions I can try out? I've rebooted my phone and I don't want to immediately jump to a factory reset quite yet.

I have an AT&T LG G8 running Android 10 (SW ver. G820UM20k.) I've also had this issue for some months now. However, while I have Spotify installed I am almost never using it; the noise occurs anyway.
My usage pattern when it occurs typically involves going between YouTube, Chrome, and Twitter apps, and occasionally other social media apps. Often happens when playing a video or audio in the background, but occasionally get the noise when dead silent in between apps too.
I've noted that if I stop what I'm doing when I hear it and immediately switch the audio path back to the phone (via the notification toggle,) the noise often occurs again but out of the phone speaker after a short time.
Now, I've not experienced any random noises the past couple of weeks, but haven't found a definite solution either. Searching the internet for "phone random static burst" or "phone making loud noise randomly" yields similar complaints going back the last few years, across different devices (and presumably Android versions.) Disabling/ force stopping Chrome was a more popular suggestion that came up, as well as fiddling with the Bluetooth codec in developer options. (I'd also suggest making sure all installed apps are updated, if the bug is indeed related to apps mishandling audio somehow.)
Given the range of system specs with these similar complaints, my hunch is the core issue may have to do with certain Bluetooth stack implementations just having problems in certain scenarios. FWIW I have my Bluetooth currently set to AVRCP 1.6 (Default is 1.4) and audio codec to SBC (Default is System Selection.) In months prior when I had the noise issue, these were set to default. My Bluetooth earbuds (Sony WF-1000XM3) prefer to default to AAC codec but do support SBC; I believe I haven't had the noise since forcing the system codec to be SBC only. If nothing else works, may be worth toggling that setting and hoping it fixes the noise. Good luck.
