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
Hi all,
I have a Tune2Air Bluetooth adapter in my car which works great with my Nexus 9 and my partner's iPhone. But when I'm connected to it with my G4, the Blueooth connection drops out almost exactly every 12 minutes (+/- 1 minute). After 30 seconds or so the phone reconnects but it's annoying as hell, especially when the dropout occurs when Google Maps is giving me a crucial navigation instruction. My phone is an international H815, totally stock, running build 20D of Marshmallow.
Here's what I've tried/observed:
The phone stays connected without any problems to my Bose Bluetooth speakers at home.
I have made sure that all power saving modes are turned off. I have added Bluetooth to the Ignore Optimizations list in case MM's Doze mode is causing this.
I noticed that when on long drives in the country the phone seems to stay connected to the Tune2Air without the usual dropout. This made me wonder if it could be an interaction to do with the cell radio that is causing the dropout. I tried just sitting in my driveway (in case it was cell-tower handoff) but the dropout still occurs. I have tried disabling mobile data and WiFi while driving but the dropout still occurs.
My mobile provider supports Fast Dormancy and I usually have this enabled. I wondered if maybe this is causing the problem (because of some difference between the city and country cell towers) so I tried disabling it, but the problem persists.
I looked in the log using logcat but couldn't see anything indicating why the connection is dropping. I tried enabling Bluetooth logging from the Developer Menu but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work.
I'd really like to solve this problem but I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone suggest anything else that I could try? Are there any other Bluetooth or mobile network timers of this approximate duration that could be causing the problem? Or any other settings in the service menu that I could try?
Thanks,
james
You can try Flashing the 20e version, much more stable than D
I don't see an update to 20e, either OTA or using LG Bridge. Reading the forums, the consensus seems to be that 20e does not differ significantly from 20d. I think I'll stick with 20d for the time being as I can't bear the thought of doing another factory reset right now.

Hi, This is a bit of a wild stab in the dark but with the seeming regularity it could be a service / polling issue. Have you checked the location based profiles - Perhaps the "turn off Bluetooth when I'm away from home" option is set and this is happening every 12 minutes? Like I said, bit of a wild stab in the dark/ suggestion but might be worth a check. You could also check it whilst sitting in your driveway and see if it happens....

Ooh, you could be onto something here. I'm going to try disabling "Bluetooth scanning" setting under the Scanning menu on the location screen and see what happens. Another possible culprit is Google Location History so I can try disabling that. As a last ditch effort I will try switching my Location Mode from High Accuracy to Device Sensors Only and see if that helps. I'll report back once I can get a chunk of time in the car.
Thanks!
So I tried all of the things I mentioned previously, rebooted, and it was still doing it - disconnecting every 12-13 minutes.
BUT after some more experiments last week the problem seems to have "fixed itself". Here's what I did...
I was wondering if it wasn't an app that was interfering and causing the dropout so I decided to boot the phone into Safe Mode and see if it helped. Unfortunately it exhibited the same behaviour... Google Play Music played for 12 minutes and then dropped out. So thinking that was pointless I rebooted back to normal mode. My phone then connected to the car stereo but was in this strange mode where audio was still coming out of the speaker rather than being sent across Bluetooth. So I deleted the phone pairing and re-paired and since then, whenever I've gotten in the car, the phone has stayed connected to the car stereo without dropping. Note that this isn't the first time I've deleted and redone the pairing... I'd tried that several times to try and fix the problem. The only new ingredient was going into Safe Mode. Not sure if this cleared something some state in the Bluetooth settings but I'm not complaining.
On the other hand, this is also fairly unsatisfying as it's not clear what "fixed it", and should it happen again I don't have a great degree of confidence that I'll be able to fix it again. Still, it's a step in the right direction and I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
So I think I've finally fixed this once and for all. Thought I'd share here in case it's useful to someone one day.
The problem started happening again after I accidentally deleted the pairing and had to re-pair it. Not sure why but I thought to tap the little cog next to the Tune2Air entry in the Bluetooth Devices list. I was surprised to see that under PROFILES both Call Audio and Media Audio were selected (the Tune2Air device I am connecting just supports Media Audio and doesn't do phone calls). So I unticked the Call Audio, reconnected the device, and everthing's been fine since.
I'm not sure whether the device is advertising that it supports Call Audio or whether the G4 is just assuming that it does. Actually the G4 connects just fine to my Bose soundlink (and just shows the Media Audio profile) so I'm think there's something funny with the BT implementation of the Tune2Air device.
Nevertheless, it seems odd that the phone should drop the whole BT connection after 12-13 minutes if it can't connect to call audio. Maybe someone more familiar with the Bluetooth stack can tell me if this is acceptable behaviour or if the G4 is doing something weird.

Just wanted to give a huge thankyou to you from the future, sladflob. Doubt I'd ever have thought to disable call audio for pairing to my bodged Bovee bluetooth adapter, and this has solved my constant dropout and reconnects.
Happy days!
Has anyone else had issues with Bluetooth audio stutter/dropping out during music playback?
Main issue is while driving and pixel xl is playing (offline) music to car stereo via Bluetooth, in areas with open wifi , the music stutters.
I currently have an open case with google regarding this.
I carried some of my own troubleshooting as follows :
I have tested connecting to my Bluetooth JAM speaker at home and toggling wifi where the signal is strong.
While disconnecting and being joined to my 802.11AC network, no issues.
While being connected to my 802.11N network however the audio DOES have dropouts.
With wifi off, 4G on - No issues
This is while playing offline music so the internet connection is not required to play the music.
Tried with Spotify and google play music
The fact that the 802.11n network seems to be what causes the issue matches the issues while driving in my car, listening to music via Bluetooth to car stereo.
I think while driving the dropouts/stuttering audio are caused as the phone tries to connect to the many open 802.11n networks around when driving down streets etc.
I don't get any issues when driving on motorways, away from any networks.
Neither my galaxy s7 edge or LG G4 exhibit this issue with the same setup.
Does anyone else experience this?
I found a Reddit thread mentioning the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/5e3nio/pixel_xl_bluetooth_skipping/
this is super interesting... I was having the same problems and so I turned off the WiFi while listening over BT in my car stereo. with WiFi on I would probably get about 20 interruptions in a 30 minute drive. this was reduced to one with WiFi off. it makes sense since Bluetooth and WiFi operate at similar wavelengths but I've never had this issue on any previous phone. it's really shi++y that we have problems like this and then crackling phone speakers on such a high end and expensive device. I'm really disappointed in google

So far Google have asked me to provide debug reports, which I have.
I have also factory reset and get the same issue.
I seemed to get more dropouts after the new Google play services installed but not sure if that is the cause yet as it coincided with the wi-fi being idle but connected.
With wi-fi connected and the phone busy restoring all my apps, it didn't seem to dropout hardly.
I have also had drop out issue during playback. Mine stutters no matter what. Wi-Fi on and off I get stutters. I started experiencing this a few days back. At first I thought it might have been viper FX but after turning off the app I still got the stutters. It is coming to be very annoying as I listen to music all the time. I'm running on 7.1.2 stock, rooted.
I finally got a reply from google regarding my case on this and they advised this is fixed in an upcoming update due in the "next few weeks".
I installed 7.1.2 (NOT beta) from the OTA image and sure enough it now appears to be fixed! Happy days!
I got 7.1..2 OTA this morning and it has not fixed my issue. If I turn my BT headphones off and wait 30 mins and turn them back on the stuttering is there. At least all I have to do is turn BT off/on (while leaving the headphones on) and no more stuttering (at least for as long as I played music). So no love for me I guess

My issue was 100% directly related to 802.11n wifi networks though, doesn't sound like yours is as this would only happen when it would try to join 802.11n wifi. Turn wifi off and it never happened for me.
I gave them detailed information and debug logs which proved what caused the fault and looks like they have fixed it.
Hi all,
Has anyone experienced any weird Bluetooth issues after installing the latest May OTA update (OPM1.171019.011-RZR-180509.5038)? I've realized that the BT controls on my 2015 Nissan Sentra no longer work properly. It doesn't automatically connect to BT anymore and no track information shows on the head-unit. The weird thing is that I CAN get music to play, at least.
I just wanted to know if I happened to be losing my mind after numerous reboots and re-pairing between the car and the phone.
Same for me. I can delete it. Pair it again and it works. Next time I get in the car it won't reconnect.. worked fine before the update at the weekend.

It's a fire an miss actually. Sometimes it reconnects automatically with the car's unit (alpine aftermarket) and sometimes it doesn't. I had noticed that if I get in the car for the 1st time today (for ex), it won't reconnect back and i have to cycle around the input in order to "kickstart" the reconnecting process. If I make a stop along the way, stop the car, get out (thus interrupting the connection) and getting back after a while, it will reconnect automatically without any issues. I'm not even taking it out of my pocket. But this scenario is happening since day one, not necessarily from the last update.
On the other hand, I got a smartband (coincidentally after the last update) and now, while the smartband is connected via BT, when I turn on my BT wireless headphone adapter, it won't re-connect anymore (simultaneously with the smartband) and if it does, it's without media playback. As a workaround, I have to 1st turn off the smartband, clear the BT of any active connection (And also any other device with media playback capabilities), turn on the BT adapter so it will connect full, then turn the smartband back on. And not always works like this.
So, I do have on an off issues with the BT stability and connections with various devices, not just car unit.
Strangely though my smart watch connects no problem and the stereo in my motorhome was connecting at the weekend. It's just the car ( a Vauxhall Astra) that refuses to connect unless I delete and re pair....

I can't get music to play with Spotify or YouTube. The phone connects fine, shows song info but just won't play no matter what I try.
The weird thing is that calls work perfectly. Sound through car speakers and mic works. Just doesn't want to play music.
I've tried unpairing, re-pairing, deleting, even factory reset on both phone and stereo. Worked fine before the 8.1 Oreo update. (I'm on 3 UK handset).
Im having issues as well, it will connect the first time when I manually connect the phone and stereo to MyLink. It will say connected but (No Media) so i try to pair the media and it disconnects my phone from BT and then i have to delete device and re connect device manually. As well if i leave the vehicle or turn it off then it will disconnect. Not just my vehicle but the other showroom vehicles do that as well. Can someone let me know if there is a bluetooth upgrade or a firmware upgrade that can fix this problem? is there anything that we can do for this let me know. Thanks!!
I am having the same issue in my bmw.
I can delete the phone and re-pair... But it sucks having to do that every thing.
also having issues as well. It connects to my headphones and the after market HU in my truck but it will not connect at all to the factory HU in Genesis Coupe. I have tried to delete and re pair and still nothing.
So currently it all works for me with the latest update. It definitely takes a little bit longer than normal though. Not sure how long some of you waited, but compared to my old phones it feels like an eternity during the time it doesn't connect. I also use a smartwatch and it is always connected to that. If you guys need or want any files, let me know. I'm currently waiting for a usb-c to usb-a cable in the mail, so once that is here I can try to help.
I think this is all more of an Android issue. I was having most of the exact same issues mentioned here on my LG V20 on Oreo.
I just for a Razer Phone 1 off eBay this week. I did the Pie update and within a day, the bluetooth issues have returned. Sometimes phone won't connect to car stereo - sometimes reboot stereo, sometimes toggle phone bluetooth off/on, or sometimes just wait 10-30 seconds. Doing the same showing info on car stereo display, but no audio transmitted. I also had similar issues using a OnePlus 3 with both Dirty Unicorns and Resurrection Remix Pie ROMs. I was beginning to think it was my car stereo until I read the comments on this thread. Seeing so many others having the exact same issues on factory and aftermarket stereos (mine is an aftermarket), and knowing it's happening on different devices and both Oreo and Pie , I'm thinking it's an Android 8 and 9 issue.
My P6P (US Unlocked) no longer plays media via bluetooth in my car. It just decided to stop suddently (while playing). Calls are still fine.
Things I tried:
- Bluetooth On/Off (On the car and on the phone)
- Unpairing/Pairing
- Reset Network Preferences on the phone
- Tried another phone with the car (works fine)
- Enabled/Disabled the bluetooth media profile (kept the calls and contacts sharing)
- Paired other bluetooth speakers to the phone and they work fine.
The phone seems to think that audio is playing and so is the car, it's just silent. I'm on the December update.
Any thoughts?
Are you by chance having this problem with SOUNDCLOUD? It's been trouble since my Pixel 2 & 3XL / Android 11. And I can get it started with force stop + clear cache, but it is a pain!

I've had a similar issue since getting the P6P. Usually it's (randomly) when I try to skip/restart a song or when the song ends the phone will still think it's playing, but the display for the car will show it's paused so audio will stop. To get it playing again I have to turn the phone screen on and press pause then play and it'll start playing normally. As you mentioned, only an issue in the car. No issues with any other bluetooth devices.
I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it, but I updated to the December build last night hoping that might fix the issue. Haven't been anywhere yet today to see if it worked, but your post is giving me doubts now lol.
Edit: Just to add, this is playing music locally from storage with the Retro Music app.
Since the December update i have the same problem, it will connect to phone but will disconnect and not reconnect to play media
On the December update. Was in the car today playing all my media. Iike Spotify and local music and works like a charm. Sounds awesome in my Mazda 3 through Bluetooth. Also same call signal as before more or less. Right now at least is good....but haven't left my area as it's the weekend. LOVE MY P6P!
More things I tried:
- In Developer Settings, changed Bluetooth AVRCP to version 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6.
- In Developed Settings, disabled hardware A2DP.
Still no dice, maybe I should go for a factory reset? Man this phone is weird
Yeah my bluetooth headphones and my home theater amp do not skip a beat, but my car keeps cutting out the music, only just started happening, slightly after decmeber update, so I think they pushed other updates (playstore) which caused these issues. Rebooting the phone fixed it, but nothing else including mentioned in the OP repairing the phone to the car, seemed to make it slightly better.
I too have also noticed the similar issue where the music just stops for no reason, and the phone app thinks its still playing, phone reports it's still connected.
For the OP, if you rock the volume keys up down and up again does it change, beause I did have mine at some point force to zero volume.
Update, it scould be related to temperature because in the morning do not seem to have the same problem, only in the afternoon, temp about 30deg C

I tried to rock the volume buttons on both the car and the phone and it doesn't seem to change anything. Both the car and the phone actually think that music is playing (as if it was on mute) and the progress time is always in sync.

Nope, it's Youtube music, pokecasts and Google maps. I suppose it's everythings except calls.

Nope, It was actually fixed after factory reseting the car's headunit. Weird but at least it's all good now....

More things I tried:
- In Developer Settings, changed Bluetooth AVRCP to version 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6.
- In Developed Settings, disabled hardware A2DP.
Still no dice, maybe I should go for a factory reset? Man this phone is weird

Hi mate, i had same issue, installing android 12L beta 3 fix all my problems, battery is awesome, fingerprint fast, animations smooth like butter....give it a chance and try, maybe fix all your problems.
I know it's a long shot but you should check the settings for automatic do not disturb. I had that happen when the phone realized I was driving and it drove me nuts. Uncheck and mystery solved.
Now if someone can tell me why at completely random times and within a call the device switches back to phone speaker or watch Bluetooth while on an Android auto phone call I'd be appreciative.

My P6P (US Unlocked) no longer plays media via bluetooth in my car. It just decided to stop suddently (while playing). Calls are still fine.
Things I tried:
- Bluetooth On/Off (On the car and on the phone)
- Unpairing/Pairing
- Reset Network Preferences on the phone
- Tried another phone with the car (works fine)
- Enabled/Disabled the bluetooth media profile (kept the calls and contacts sharing)
- Paired other bluetooth speakers to the phone and they work fine.
The phone seems to think that audio is playing and so is the car, it's just silent. I'm on the December update.
Any thoughts?

Try disabling a2dp hardware offload in the developer settings, fixed all my bluetooth issues.
