Question Android auto audio playback - stuttery mess - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

Not sure if everyone is facing this issue - but audio playback over android auto stutters and garbles every now and then. Are any of you facing this issue and what's being done to resolve this? Is this in Samsung's/Google's/car manufacturer's court?
I'm hooking this to my BMW IDRIVE7 head unit

I use the carpuride cp701 AA display and I don't get any audio problems using a wired connection.

I have the issue on a Volvo when wirelessly connected. No issue on the wired connection.
No issue when wirelessly connected to a Mazda, or Chevy.

[Q] Problem with Bluetooth headphones and YouTube buffering

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:

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

Using BT headphones with FTV has lag when playing video. Any fixes?

I updated my FTV in hopes of using the BT headphones to watch movies in bed so I don't bother my wife. I can get the heaphones to pair but in every video app there seems to be lip sync issues where the audio is slow a few seconds from the video.
I am using a LG HBS700 headset and don't know if it's the headset or the FTV that is the problem. Is there a way to fix the lag?
I hooked up my Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 to the Amazon FireTV. Amazon Prime and Netflix seems to sync audio and video just fine but XBMC has noticeable sync issues. That can be easily offset within the video playback settings in XBMC. I have to adjust the audio ahead 800ms in addition to the subtitle behind 1000ms.
I have a LG HBS-900 and have the same problem.
I remember seeing a warning message that hooking up bluetooth headsets may cause connection issues with the WiFi. Even though I'm connecting through WiFi from bedroom, didn't appear to affect me other than XBMC. You may also try it through wired Amazon FireTV connection to see if that makes a difference. So unless they have some newer firmware for your bluetooth headset, you might be SOL. Try another brand?

Bluetooth Audio No Longer Auto-Pauses

Hi All,
Recently my bluetooth has been doing some wonky stuff when connected to my bluetooth receiver in my car. Normally, when I cut the power to the car, the bluetooth connection drops and the audio is paused. Now for some reason, the audio keeps playing once the bluetooth connection is lost. I haven't tried factory resetting yet, just wondering if anybody else has this issue and if they have a solution.
Thanks!

Audio dropouts in Mxplayer caused by blitzer.de app

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.
