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'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.

Bluetooth Doesn't Show Audio Data

Sooo, another problem. When I'm in my SUV streaming music to its stereo from my phone, it doesn't show any information about what's playing. No artist, song name, nothing. Sometimes it'll show how long the song has been playing, but, that's it. I've disconnected/forgot on both ends, reconnected, same. My pixel 2 xl did not have this problem. Funny thing is, when I start a song, it pops up on my smartwatch (wear OS) with all the info like it should, it seems like just my ride... I'm not sure what's going on here. Anyone else experiencing this? I drive a 2018 Pathfinder.

Same issue here! I use Apple Music and it does not show any info at all. But when I used Google Music it shows just fine... I am assuming it's Apple Music itself...

No issue here so far, actually the Bluetooth is better for me then the 2XL was, I am using Spotify only though, not sure if that matters. I have a VW GTI. I know that some cars just have issues with some phones, let's hope that some of the software updates will fix it for you.

Yeah, my Bluetooth doesn't cutout like my 2 xl did. The connection is much better. I have t tried anything but YouTube music, so, I guess I'll check something else.

Mine Bluetooth information works intermittently. Bluetooth PLAYING hasn't been a problem, but the information isn't always displayed. I use both GPM and Pandora. Restarting the phone has forced it to work. Toggling Bluetooth worked for a little bit, but after a few sings the problem came back.

The Bluetooth cutting out was the worst thing about my 2 XL, I always hoped that every update would fix it but it never did, I loved everything else about the phone.

No info showing on my Lexus RX350 with Spotify =\

So, Spotify shows, but still no YouTube music... And now my phone won't sync right with my wear os watch... WTF??? Sooo, this phone has both WiFi AND Bluetooth issues.. Great. I really hope it's software related.

All of you having problems, please, submit feedback to Google. You can do it right from your phone in Bluetooth settings. If enough of us do, maybe Google will actually do something about it, and soon. Our first update will likely be in 2 weeks. I'd love for this to get fixed in that update.

This is the first Google phone since my Nexus 6 that has worked consistently with my car for meta data. For me, its an amazing improvement.

I got it to work

Well, I use Apple Music and I had such a hard time getting this to work since day one. Google Music is working fine so I thought to play a little with the BT settings in the developer's options and finally got it to work...

Problem with Android Auto not playing music

So I got a new Pixel 3 XL and I'm running into this problem. Hooked up the USB and when I try to listen to Google play Music I can't hear anything, the same thing with YouTube. No problem with Bluetooth only Android Auto.

Disable Pixel Ambient Service while connected to Bluetooth

Is there a way to disable Pixel Ambient Service , the song recognition thing, while connected to my car? Because it is loading the song history with all my songs that I listen in the car. I've tried with tasker but no luck.
Any ideas?

And where is the problem? Your music choose must be secret?

Well, lets put it this way. From Monday to Friday I listen in my car for about at least 40 minutes, that is like 13-14 songs, multiply that with 5 days and I get like 70 songs, that I own and know, If I go somewhere where my Pixel tracks the songs and I want to go to history to search for it, I have to look in the 70 songs (tracked in 5 days) that I already know. Since I got the pixel , I went to some places and find some great songs, but it is hard to find them in my already own collection. It will be nice to automatically disable this feature when connected to my car's stereo.

Are you playing music from your car stereo and not your phone to your stereo? I play music to my car through my Pixel and it typically doesn't find the songs it's playing on Now Playing because it knows its playing it.

Yes, not from my phone.

I use a portable BT speaker at work, and Now Playing always lists the songs I'm playing. Maybe because I'm using Spotify and not playing music I have installed myself onto my phone? I don't know....

I think maybe Pandora as well, but I'm not sure. I'l check tomorrow. I'll also check with personally installed music.
What about Google Play Music? I'll try that too.
I just thought it showed for everything because I mainly use Spotify, but your post about it not showing has me intrigued now.
I have several music apps. I'll probably try with them all.

Lol i have super Mario ringtone and sometime it recognize that as well ??

I'll have to test it out to be sure. Sometimes I notice it and sometimes I don't.

Note 10+ Bluetooth audio issue when try to play .M4A files

Hi I'm experiencing this strange problem M4A files play fine in some of my Bluetooth devices but not on some.
M4A files play properly on:
built in speakers of the phone
Sony headphones (MDR-ZX770)
Yamaha sound bar
Same files results random noises through:
AKG usb c ear buds came with the phone(firmware got updated the first time I plugged them to the phone)
ROIDMI 2S car bluetooth adapter
Bluedio TE earbuds
I've came across various similar issues on forums but couldn't find a solution. I would appreciate if anyone else has experienced this and came across a solution or having the same issue without a solution make samsung aware of this.
(Phone in question is Note 10+ Exynos version with September update.)

what are you using to play those files? try different players

Initially tried using Samsung music, but then Google play music, and Sony music center (this says in supported codec straight away and doesn't even play through phone speakers)

I had the same issue with Samsung music, so switched to Poweramp and it works just fine, you might want to give it a try.

Works with Poweramp thank you so much!
Still I wonder why this is happening with Samsung music, I'd still prefer to use it because I'm so used to it for a long time. Looks like time to move on
