Hey everyone. Gotta say, i love this phone its the android device i always wanted. However, im having issues with my car bluetooth which i have not experienced before... namely, that random phonecalls sound completely digitized.
Ive come from an htc desire and htc sensation on the same car without issue and am worried i got a bad BT antenna-or its software...
Anyone out there experiencing the same thing? Any advice (other than buying a new car)?
I am having the same issues on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus V4.02. If I turn bluetooth off mid-call the earpiece sounds fine. The static only happens during voice calls, streaming A2DP sounds fine. There are bluetooth improvements listed in the 4.03 changelog, hopefully this will be resolved.
I had some problems with my BT speaker phone. I turned off the key press sounds and the screen off sounds and that pretty much fixed it.
I have an off topic question for you guys that use bluetooth streaming. Can start the car and press play from the HU to start music? I can with my old D2, but not my TB. I have to actually start the music player on the thunderbolt, then I can control it from my HU. I would like to upgrade, but I don't see a huge advantage in upgrading if I still can't start my music without having to actually take the phone out of my pocket. (Yes, I know it's stupid, but I'm lazy.)
I have this same issue in one of my cars. I ran a number of tests and the issue only occurs on my vehicle when the phone is connected to both for telephony and a2dp music. The static occurs whether or not a2dp is actually being used to stream music or not. This particular vehicle has two separate devices for music and telephony. If I unpair or disconnect the music device, then telephony works without the audio distortion. As soon as I reconnect the music device, the static is re-introduced.

I am experiencing this issue as well and have not been able to resolve it. I've tried disabling the touch sounds, screen off sounds, etc. but to no avail.
It pretty much makes handsfree unusable while driving. What have you guys done in the meantime? Have you been able to resolve the issue yet?
Here's my specific details:
Phone: Verizion LTE Galaxy Nexus v4.02 stock/unrooted
Handsfree Car System (phone audio): Stock 2007 Audi A4
Separate A2DP Module (media audio): Dension Gateway Five connected to factory Stereo
All of my previous phones (Thunderbolt, Droid X, Incredible, OG Droid) have fully supported this setup with no issues whatsoever.
On a sidenote, my A2DP streaming is also unreliable. It first has trouble connecting to the device. If/when it does, audio constantly cuts out when streaming Pandora, Slacker Radio, Google Music... pretty much any streaming over network connection. I have not tried locally stored music yet as I don't have any currently stored on my device. Are you guys experiencing this A2DP issue as well?
I wonder how widespread this is and if it warrants opening an official issue with Google.
I used to have a Blackberry Torch, and I have a Ford Mustang. When I would connect the BT to it, if the Wifi was on, it would "interfere" with the signal. Turning wifi off, fixed the issue. This was a widely known issue with the Torch. Granted that shouldn't have to be a fix, but can any of you verify whether your wifi is on? (regardless of if its connected to anything or not). I'm wondering if the Nexus is using the same BT/WIFI chip that the Torch used.

I appreciate the suggestion but unfortunately, I have the issue even if WiFi is off (I never use WiFi).
I'm going to try and toggle a few of the sound and haptic feedback settings a little more to see if it's pertinent to a certain on/off configuration. It's a shot in the dark but I'll try anything at this point.
ok it was worth a shot. Maybe on a whim turn off 3g/data so basically its airplane mode except BT is on? Just to eliminate any RF interference. Other than that I dont know
Spent quite a bit of time in the car today to try and pinpoint a cause and I have had no luck.
Phone audio will sound great and then all of the sudden turn digitized and distorted for a random period of time, then revert back to sounding great. One thing to note is that the distortion is both ways - the person I'm talking to also hears it when I speak and cannot understand what I'm saying. It's very frustrating not being able to use this feature.
I am on my 2nd replacement phone and ALL of them have had this issue (returned two others to VZW due to this issue and the speaker clicking issue). I am still wondering if it is software/OS releated or if it's due to poor hardware.
Quick Update (kind of):
I messed around with more settings last night. I am happy to report that after I disabled NFC last night, I made several handsfree calls in my car with perfect clarity and no issues. Also, A2DP streaming Pandora worked flawlessly! I was happy that I thought I pinpointed the issue - NFC interference.
BUT this morning, I made a handfree call and it was immediately distorted. Frownie face! A2DP Streaming Pandora still worked great. I am now trying to determine if my success last night was a fluke or if something is different with the phone this morning. The only difference from last night to this morning, that I have been able to identify so far, is I now have the extended battery in the phone. Last night's success had the standard battery. I'll switch them back at lunch and re-test.

I've got the same issue. Even with NFC disabled. Makes listening to Pandora in the car unbearable. I've gone through the same steps as you, but hasn't exchanged the phone yet. I've had previous Androids and it was a hit/miss with the distortion, but with an iPhone or BB never had this issue. Go figure.
thanks to all the replies, will update to 4.0.3 and try out some more options.
- unplugging my music dongle had no effect on call quality
- NFC on or off had no effect
I also find that the music adapter never auto-connects and needs me to go in to the BT settings page and manually select it.
thanks all.
Hello again. So I have an update that adds to the flakiness ...
Updated to the Bugless Beast ROM and Franco's kernel. My intent was to completely reset the phone and hopefully get a new Bluetooth stack in the process.
Initially everything paired OK, but after a while my audio randomly disconnects after about 20minutes and then reconnects depending on its mood.
My phone connection is more controllable now: if the BT is enabled on my phone when I turn on the car, the sound quality is entirely digitized and unusable. If I turn on the car and THEN enable my phone, the sound quality is flawless every time.
Still not ideal, but manageable. For the music audio part, I lay the blame entirely on the Audi Music Interface BT adapter: the thing is crap and always in pair mode even with the car turned off! The telephone BT in the car head unit has seen several phones pair with it without any issues (I do mobile development so I get to play with many phones) so in that case, I can't blame anything but the Nexus.
I really hope someone at Google or Samsung reads these threads since it would be tough to troubleshoot, but there's no doubt an issue exists with general BT compatibility.

Anyone have an update on this issue? Does anyone know of a ROM with a different Bluetooth stack than AOKP? I love everything else about AOKP. I have had the same garbled bluetooth audio from stock - 4.03 with franco and faux kernels with the same result. I had similar problems with Cyanogen 7 ROM I was using on my Incredible the week before I bought the Nexus.
Update - I experimented with a couple of additional devices, and the multiple connections problem with my Nexus is limited to A2DP only devices.
I am now using a Garmin BlueTrip with "phone audio" deselected in bluetooth options. As long as the additional bluetooth device is handsfree profile capable, the A2DP functions perfectly, calls are clear, and the device reconnects after a power cycle consistently. I'm glad this appears to be a software issue and not something we will have to live with for the life of the phone. I'm sure a future update will correct this issue.
I'm also having a problem with Bluetooth calls sounding very digitized and/or choppy. It is bad enough that it can be extremely difficult to make out what the caller is saying. A2DP, on the other hand, has performed pretty flawlessly and the device consistently reconnects each time I get in the car (although it can take up to 30 seconds or so).
I'll have to do a little experimenting with some of the settings mentioned in this thread to see if they have any affect.
On a related note, I feel like sometimes calls made/recieved on the handset can sound digitized as well (although not nearly as bad as over bluetooth). Has anyone else experienced this?
My hardware is:
Verizon GNex (4.0.2)
Parrot MKi9000
There are a number of problems with bluetooth on the Galaxy Nexus. Some may be Galaxy Nexus specific, some may be Ice Cream Sandwich specific, I am not sure... Bluetooth performance has been very inconsistent since the launch of Android. (Well, actually it worked perfect in the early days of the G1, but more recent updates seem to make Bluetooth performance more inconsistent.) I would really like to see Google focus on fixing these Bluetooth issues, and I do not know of any way other than starring these issues on code.google.com to bring this to their attention. I have personally experienced the following issues:
1. Rogue phone call upon bluetooth headset connect. This one is very annoying: sometimes the phone will dial the last-called number when a bluetooth headset is connected. Please star this issue if you'd like it to get fixed: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=26004
2. Galaxy Nexus Bluetooth and BT-button become sometimes unresponsive, BT button blackend out (dark gray), needs restart to fix. If you have ever experienced this, you know what I am talking about: sometimes you have to reboot the phone to get it to connect to a bluetooth headset or car. Please star this issue if you'd like it to get fixed: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24522
3. Apps other than "Music" not receiving Bluetooth Play/Pause commands after 4.0 update. I think this is the cause of apps such as Pandora not auto-pausing upon bluetooth disconnect. Please star this issue if you'd like it to get fixed: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23172
These issues have a very low number of stars, and do not have an owner assigned to them yet. Please help improve bluetooth performance by voting for these issues. Thanks!
Strange...I'm on AOKP and I don't see any of these issues...
Are you on 4.0.3?
Number 3 is app specific. Those other apps need updates.
I had an issue similar to number 2 when my Nexus was on stock. On custom ROMS, my bluetooth works fine. Are you still on stock?

I am on stock 4.0.2 (rooted) on a GSM yakju. I've been waiting for a more feature-complete CM9 before switching ROMS, but if you say AOKP doesn't have these issues then I might just switch to AOKP and try it out in the next day or two!
Updated: Problem persists after installing ROM AOKP M4.

Ahh - good to know, though it is weird that Pandora v 1.5.12 still auto-pauses on bluetooth disconnect.

I haven't had any issues with my Jawbone bluetooth. I do noticed that different bluetooths work differently with different phones which a big history and swapping different phones and bluetooth headsets. I would try a different bluetooth.

I get #2. Usually it occurs with turning bluetooth on and off multiple times over a period of days or coming out of Airplane mode. I have got around it by leaving bluetooth on all the time. I found that BT does not actually use a much battery.

Whatever is causing these bluetooth issues for me wasn't solved by switching to the AOKP 4.0.3 ROM. Got in my car this morning and bluetooth would not connect - had to reboot my GN. Upon reboot, bluetooth connected and dialed the most recently dialed number. I can't imagine that an app would be causing this, but I'm going to try stripping down my installed apps to the bare minimum and see if that helps. My car bluetooth is a Motorola T605 that worked flawlessly from the original launch of the G1 up until sometime around the Gingerbread releases started coming out, so I don't think it's an issue with the T605 bluetooth unit. I'll keep this ticket updated as I learn more about the issue.

I searched, but there is no update for the T605 - I doubt Motorola will ever release one either since the T605 is a very basic bluetooth device - only supports phone and A2DP media - pretty standard.
Would certainly appreciate support for avrcp 1.3/1.4 - my Parrot looks a little sad when doing A2DP as it just displays a little scrolly thing on the display - would be mucho cooler if it displayed track name / artist.
Would be /awesome/ if I could browse the device's media from the Parrot...
One of the apps I uninstalled was the Google "Car Home" app - I suspect that Car Home is what was causing both the "unable to turn on bluetooth" and the "bluetooth dials the most recently dialed number upon connect sometimes" issue. Not 100% sure yet, but seems plausible since Car Home ties in to bluetooth as a system app and I haven't had the issue since uninstalling Car Home. It'll take a few more trouble-free days for me to be sure though... Does anyone who use the Google Car Home app (which must be installed as a system app) NOT have this issue?
It's definitely a hardware or driver problem and does not come from an app. I have this issue since day 1 on my Nexus and I have experienced it on all ROM's I have tried or baked until now. I hope Google or Samsung will do something with our complains.

I wonder why some people never see this issue while we do. Is there any other way to draw attention to the bluetooth issues besides starring these defects at code.google.com? Before I made this XDA posts, there were 42 stars for what I consider to be the most important defect (Issue ID 24522 - "Galaxy Nexus Bluetooth and BT-button become somtimes unresponsive, BT button blackend out (dark gray), needs restart to fix"), but as of today, there are still only 49 stars for that issue. That means that only a small fraction of us experience this issue or that not many people care about it.
Although I'm not having any of the problems you describe, I have always found BT on Android to be incredibly unreliable. But then, I have always believed that BT is an absolute joke, the best example of a failed standard in the history of the universe.
The problems I have had consistently with my G1, N1, and now GN:
- Paired headset simply won't connect. Have to reboot to fix. Doesn't happen too often.
- Headset connects, but only media or phone audio, not both. For me this is the most common and happens a LOT. Multiple power cycles on the headset will sometimes fix, but sometimes have to reboot phone.
- Headset connects and will control the phone and music player, but no audio. This happens with some regularity. Have to reboot phone.
Same problems with three brands of headset: Jawbone original, Plantronics Voyager 510, and currently the Moto S305.
I haven't searched the db to see if these bugs are reported. I just quietly despise BT and Google's failure to implement it better.
I don't have these problems with my iPod or iPad, so fully believe it's Google's poor implementation of a poor standard.
More power to you getting the issues addressed, but I think that since BT, which is truly a joke, and yet has been accepted and is widely used by the general public, they are not going to care. Google sets their pain threshold for system failures and bugs fairly high and does not trouble themselves at all with issues that don't rise to that level. For example, here in Puerto Rico where I live, Network Location Services stopped working on TMO a year ago and Google has not fixed it yet despite several solid reports. Until they receive a cacophony, they don't care, and they won't receive a cacophony on something like NLS, because the general public has no clue that it even exists, even though it impacts their daily experience with location aware apps. It's quite frustrating.
GR
GR,
I agree that bluetooth has its share of shortcomings, but basic phone and a2dp audio is something that has been around a long time and really should "just work." I like bluetooth in the fact that I can choose to keep my phone in my pocket and just hop in the car and it's connected for phone and media. A built-in service such as bluetooth should never get stuck in this unusable state that requires a reboot to get it working again. (Especially in the car - that really sucks...) I like the fact that Google is constantly adding new cutting edge features like NFC, but it seems that this comes at the cost of overall stability for some of the basics like bluetooth.
i believe there is a bug in either the GNex's bluetooth hardware or Android ICS.
i have an A2DP adapter in my car to play music from my phone on my car stereo. my car also comes with the ability to connect to a phone for the purpose of taking and making calls thru its stereo and mics (using bluetooth HFP). when both are enabled simultaneously, i am able to listen to my music fine. if i get or make a call, the phone pauses the music, as you would expect, and goes into the call (although when i receive calls there seems to be a delay before the GNex switches over), but in the call the audio is garbled/robotic/scrambled...whatever you want to call it. this is the case both for what i hear and for what the person at the other end hears.
i wanted to start this thread to get more info about this problem from others that have experienced it, and maybe see if we can come up with a workaround.
there is an AC thread about this here:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/524885-galaxy-nexus-bluetooth-bug.html
and i put in a bug at google here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=29564
any more info is appreciated!
According to other posts in the forums, the AOKP ROM does not have these issues.
I really did not want to root this device. I know, that's just not cool. But everything else was just working.
My Sensation did not have these problems, but alas I dropped it and it died and I was still on contract. The Nexus was more cost effective than bending over for the off-contract price from TMO.
Anyway, chalk me up as a "me too" on this issue. I'm going to root tonight and try AOKP.
I would be kind of surprised if it didn't exist in AOKP, because the problem definitely exists in CyanogenMod 9 (and AOKP is essentially a kang of that). In fact, I uninstalled CM9 and reverted to stock expressedly because I initially thought that this bug was a CM9 issue and it was annoying enough that I figured I'd revert to stock until CM9 reaches stable, only to discover that the problem is in the official Google builds as well.

Please let us know how it goes! I've been using Bugless Beast, but would switch to AOKP if it fixes this bug.
I've yet to find a build without BT issues of some sort.
The garbled call audio is new to me. I've not see that on other devices but have yet to find a GN ROM that mitigates it. This is in addition to issues that go back to the Nexus 1. There was an audio.conf fix for that, I'll see if I can wrangle it up and see if it helps here.
My setup: Factory BT hands free (crap Audi OEM goo) + FIPO A2DP device for music. So, two completely discrete BT devices.
Edit:
try this: edit etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and set master=true (backup the file first)
I also set HFP=true (it's commented out in the file)
What I found:
1- Calling: audio quality was still pretty poor with a lot of pops. It sounds a bit "hot." Quite inferior to other devices I've used with this setup.
2- However: A2DP playback no longer glitches. In my case audio played fine after the first connect after BT was turned on. But subsequent connects, say after leaving and the returning to the car would result in glitchy audio.
So far this tweak seems to have improved things. I'm really bummed by the audio all quality.

audio.conf does not seem to exists in 4.2.2. Has anyone found audio.conf in 4.2.2?
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for me wrt to audio problems with my wife's Sprint Galaxy S3.
On a fully stock up to date S3, about 3 days ago all sound stopped working, this includes alarms, answer calls, key press sounds, playing music. However after a reboot, it would start working again for 6 hours or so, and then quit again. I assumed this was a software issue of some sort. I have an older rooted phone which I love and have had for years, I suggested that we finally root her S3, so she could get all those benefits plus fix whatever little software problem this was.
The rooting process when fine, and the phone now has CWM and CM 10.1.2 (Android 4.2.2). However the audio issue is still there and in fact a reboot no longer fixes the issue.
I have tried pluggin in the ear buds w/ built in mic, and those too fail to work. I also have paired various bluetooh devices like mini boom boxes etc.. they all pair fine however there is no audio output from them. No audio in the dial pad when hitting the numbers. When trying to play music the DSP Manager will crash, and then the music app crashes (tried Apollo and Google music). If I go to the sound recorder and hit record, it pops up with "Internal application error.".
So it seems all audio (speaker, mic, bluetooth, and headset) is broken which again makes me think software, but even after rooting and installing a new rom like Cyanogenmod the issue is here.
Any thoughts on what else I can try? Any firmware updates that I could apply specific to audio issues like this, or perhaps it is some sort of hardware issue that is preventing the software drivers from behaving properly?
thanks,
fishtek
I would Odin back to complete stock and see if the issue still arises. If it does then it could be hardware related.

Hi. Wondering if anybody could help. When I connect my oneplus 5T to my car I have problems. When it starts to call it disconnects the bluetooth from the car completely. However the call continues on the phone which is a complete pain as you cant use it through the hands free. Car is a BMW 630CI with pro nav if that helps.
Many Thanks
i first had problems to connect to my audi A3 bluetooth ... it simply didn´t find it
after trying again and changing the bluetooth audio codec it suddenly worked ...
Idk if it will work for you, but you can try changing the codec and se if it helps
Hi. Ive tried all 3. It connects fine and I can see my contacts but as soon as I hit dial it disconnects from the car.
Very strange.
Thanks for the suggestion tho
with mine in my car it every now and then gives me this a crackling sound.. Kind of irritating, I'm hoping a software update down the road fixes this.. I've tried all 3 codecs
Having issues with Bluetooth connection on my Prius Prime as well. It always disconnects, I had to disable Bluetooth on the phone and re-able it for it to work.
I experience the same with my Boss QC35. First connection, audio breaks with lots of noise and had to disable it and re-enable it.
Still found no solution. Hope the next update sorts it out as the bluetooth seems a mess.
So after looking around, there are issues with certain codecs and devices connecting being posted in the OP community forums. My Sony WH1000xm2 headphones stutter when using AptX HD. My JBL Everest 750NC's - if you turn the volume up too high, they disconnect from the phone. In my Cadillac ATS, whenever you place a call it'll stay connected, but you won't hear anything, and the other user can't hear you either.
I think they've acknowledged the issues and are working on them, but after putting Oreo on my Moto G5 Plus and Oreo's ability to change between all codec's on the fly (including native LDAC support!) I'm anxiously awaiting Oreo to be 'officially' released.
I'd say just be patient.. I'm sticking with this phone because I think it'll be worth it in the end. Wish I had better news!
so I resolved my Bluetooth issues by flashing FreedomOS. Now there is no intermittent crackling sound now and there is no issues at all ymmv, this was just my experience.
Thanks. Will wait for Oreo and then try different roms if it continues.
on FreedomOS before, it was giving me headache re-connecting to my Subaru car bluetooth, like after you shutoff engine, go somewhere and come back, unless you manually force connecting to the car, it barely auto reconnect back.
And also takes so long to get data sync from my Fitbit chargeHR to the app.
I don't think this kind of bluetooth issue related to what rom we have but the kernel and more specifically BT firmware.
-----edit-------
My friend also got BT issue when he tried to connect to BT headset. Hope Oneplus get something fixed on new oreo or updates
Just an update. Since upgrading to the official Oreo rom my problems have disappeared and my phone now works fine with the car Bluetooth.
Chris
I still have problems. Pause and unpause, and the track restarts. After ending a phone call the track restarts. 2018 RAM, Uconnect
With stock ROM 4.7.2 bluetooth connected only for a few seconds with my Audi A6. With every following stock ROM version it didn't even connect.
I tried every single Audio-Codec and the different settings in developer options - nothing helped. Once I cleared data & cache from the bluetooth system apps followed with a soft brick
Hi all,
Had same issues with my Hyundai ix35 and oneplus 5t (Nougat), tracks skipping, distorted audio in calls, etc... Tried emptying bluetooth cache, switching audio codecs without success. Now I just received the OTA update to Oreo (8.0), Oxygen rom 5.0.3 and it solved the issues!!! Yeay, no more auxilary cable hanging around !

Had same issues with my Hyundai ix35 and oneplus 5t (Nougat), tracks skipping, distorted audio in calls, etc... Tried emptying bluetooth cache, switching audio codecs without success. Now I just received the OTA update to Oreo (8.0), Oxygen rom 5.0.3 and it solved the issues!!! Yeay, no more auxilary cable hanging around !

I started from scratch but the issue persists.
I am having the same issue in my car. It no longer displays track information and the connection is not very stable. I will try switching the codec and report back.
i don.t have any volume control from the phone basically when i connect it to my car stereo
i can control the volume for the first 4-5 clicks ... and then the slider moves but there is no difference in the volume
i have to turn the volume from the stereo almost to the max
whit my old samsung tablet works great ... i have maybe 50% more volume then with my phone
tried all codecs ...
