I am getting horrible popping, metallic noise, and it sounds like they are under water when I am on a bluetooth call. I have tried 2 different earbuds and my car, and it's all the same. I have tried most of the mainstream roms like crDroid, Nameless, Bliss, PEX, and Lineage.
Any advice is welcome.
i read somewhere here in the 9p forums, that is mostly the case with older bluetooth versions devices. 4 or 5 bluetooth version should work flawless?
but i didnt have the 9p until today, so i cant check.

My car and Sennheiser earbuds are both bluetooth version 4, but they both sound very metallic, tinny, and like they are underwater. I have tried several roms, from android 11, 12, and 13, and they are all the same. It does it on stock OOS too.
on oos too?
did you ask/searched on oneplus forums/community?
Sony WF-1000XM4 worked perfectly on OOS 11, and continues to work perfectly on OOS 13 (I skipped 12).
Have you tried changing the Bluetooth options in developer settings? Changing MAP and AVRCP to different versions solved both of my headphones (one of which was a crackle feedback issue) problems, a car sync problem and another guy's headunit delay issues. It's free to change and try
I agree, it could be a codec issue. go ahead and try to change the codec as mentioned in previous post.
I started having the same issue after upgrading to lineageos 20. Music ok in the car, but phone calls are mettallic and noisy. Tried to change all possible developer settings without success (codecs, avrpc, you name it). Did anybody find a way to solve this?
Maybe it is something to raise with the lineageos team.

So I had been on the beta version since it was released and participated a few times in the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/android-o-beta-issues-t3609335 and others were having the same issue.
The issue is no song/artist information being displayed on my touchscreen stereo, and I cannot use the stereo to pause/skip to the next track (I have to do it through my phone). Ive tried a local audio player, Google Music, and Pandora all to no avail. The deck is a Pioneer double-din AVH-P8400BH.
In my daily car, my phone bluetooth name appears and I can change song ect thru the deck. It is not a touchscreen and it probably 10 years old.
Ive gone into the bluetooth settings and have tried changing the AVRCP from 1.4 to 1.6 (neither work), and audio codec from default to enable optional (neither worked).
Anything else I should try out?
TIA

Ill have to give this a shot!
mine has awful streaming. It has so many skips...snags...audio blanks...whatever term you want to call it....its not "uninterrupted".
I was hoping google IMPROVED Bluetooth. I don't understand why they have this struggle to be honest. Its 2017....Bluetooth is not new technology.
Maybe they should stop expanding their department to provide data to the government to spy on private citizens using smart devices, and they would use those resources to fix bluetooth
Pioneer brand head units in particular I have seen Bluetooth streaming issues when paired to flagship model phones for years...even back as far as my LG G3. I got a Kenwood head unit instead, never had an issue.
As far a the Pixel XL and BT streaming...I have only had issues with dropouts zap sounds or pops, when i am out mowing my back property with my tractor...phone in pocket and BT headphones on. But my previous phones did this...most certainly due to the railroad nearby and high rise high voltage power lines and towers that are above me in that area.

Pioneer uses a cheaper bluetooth and never updates the firmware of the chips to fully support the available Bluetooth profiles even when they are developing their units and new profile updates are available. I have had a very long and annoying history with them to the point where I was in direct contact with their build team after all my complaining. That was back in 2012. Never used another of their products again. :good:
I have the same issue on my Chevy Colorado 2017. Everything works fine on Spotify on my Huawei Mate 9, and iPhone 7. It also worked fine on 7.1.2. Spotify works and music comes through but no info is displayed. I unpaired both things with no success. Frustraring.
I tried unpairing mine as well, no luck either

I have not. Ill give it a shot today.
No idea if this problem is related or not but might be worth a check if you have time. First time I put Oreo on my phone it was fine. Then I screwed something up and just ADB flashed the image again. Everything was fine until I tried bluetooth a few days later. It wouldn't connect until ticking that media box many times. Then I flashed the image again and it worked fine again.
So I just got the 8.0 OTA (not on beta). I see in the dev options that it shows what BT codec it is using.
I have noticed that only the option "Bluetooth AVRCP Version:" is the only value that changin it does it stick. The other setting appear to be on auto and revert to auto depending on what device u pair supports.
My first test on my Kenwood KDC-BT762HD it paired fine and it said it was using AptX. Streamed for a few min fine. Then after I got back in the car and it auto paired, music started skipping every several seconds. I turned radio off then on to repair it and it started streaming fine again....but was using SBC according to Dev options.
When I changed AVRCP version to 1.6.....it connects and uses AptX fine. However, the radio display no longer displays the BT media metadata(title/artist), but the controls on the radio still work. I change to AVRCP ver 1.4 and that restores metadata, but then it uses SBC again. (using ver 1.5 results in SBC and no metadata).
I don't really care about the song info not being displayed on my radio....but definitely seems to be something fishy with BT in this new update.
EDIT Update: so now I am noticing it auto re-connecting and using SBC all the time now. WOnt use aptX unless i delete the device and re-pair it. then it works for a few reconnects, but then drops to sbc cagin.
Thanks for posting, I won't be updating. The Bluetooth has never been right and now seems to have regressed.

i agree and although i dont get the proper song listing on my car stereo it seems everything else is better. on nougat my BT headset i use for work all day (moto buds) would often stop connecting properly and i would make a call and have to select "phone" then "headset" again to get audio back on headset and om Oreo it happens less frequently

If you switch to a rom that uses the CAF based bluetooth (all lineageos based ones should, crDroid does for sure as that is what I use) implementation this won't happen. Still haven't been able to track down exactly why, but for now I'm sticking with CAF based ROMs to avoid this.
Do any of you guys having this issue have an Android wear watch? I've had heaps of issues with Bluetooth streaming being all "jittery" and just skipping since the update. However, I found this is basically completely fixed when I turn my android wear (LG urbane) off, or at least the Bluetooth on it.
Tried all the developer options for BT but hasn't made a difference. At the moment, my solution is turning off BT on my watch when I'm listening to music. Bit crap but it works.
I have factory reset the watch and cleared BT cache on pixel.
Any other ideas?
Is anyone else still having problems with Bluetooth on Oreo? I was hoping the official 8.1 release would help me, but I'm seeing no change. I have a Kenwood BT952HD, and experience issues similar to what the OP describes. Audio is plays fine, no unreasonable stuttering. But I get no song info, and can't skip tracks. Also, the pairing isn't as automatic. Every time I turn on the car, I have to wake the phone up, and wait for the pairing to complete, which takes longer than usual.
I've tried playing with the AVRCP settings, along with clearing registrations at both ends and repairing, with no luck. Is anyone else still seeing similar issues?
8.1 working fine with my Kenwood BT762HD. I use PowerAmp v2 alpha build 704 app.
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.

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 !

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 ...
After updating to Pie bluetooth audio turns useless because only for 10~30sec the audio is continous. after that short period harsh interruptions begin to happen until the audio stops. all this sequence in less than 1min.
my headset is JBL DUET Mini and work fine in other devices.. I verified this problem with spotify and YouTube.
I tried to change bluetooth audio setup in developer options but remains the same.
Anyone having the same issue? Any idea?
Thank you!
I've had the same issue in Oreo, and now in Pie. Though it's never gotten to the point where it stops; it just continues, horribly, 'til I stop it myself.
Tested with Vanilla Music, streaming via Bluetooth to an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, and an Amazon Basics Bluetooth speaker. (jeez, never realised how much Amazon stuff I have lol)
Bluetooth is horribly broken on pie and its interferes with WiFi.
There is a new update for pie, can you check if it is still broken?
Poor playback to Anker portable bluetooth (4.0) speaker with crackling / stuttering noise interference when initiated from A2 Lite. Works fine from Laptop to Bluetooth speaker (A2 Lite disconnected), but v. poor from A2 Lite to speaker. NB. Same digital media.
Suspect Bluetooth problem with A2 Lite Pie 9.0 (OTA) version. V10.0.2.0.PDLMIFJ
Could be a CODEC issue?
Developer options show :
AVRCP 1.4 (Default)
Bluetooth audio codec streaming:SBC
audio sample rate: 44.1 khz
Audio bits per sample: 16 bits
Audio channel mode: Stereo
Playback quality: Best effort (adaptive bit rate)

AAC codec was removed in PIe, leaving only the low quality/high latency SBC codec. Hopefully the next update includes AAC as it is absolute bare minimum for a 2018 phone of this caliber.

All codes were removed except that low quality low bandwidth sbc codec, it is reall low bandwidth broadcasting so you with have a lot of lag with Bluetooth, the aptx magisk module works but, you have to use Bluetooth headset for music, no loudspeaker or headphone jack will output music streams. I'm sure PIE is just a stable beta so hopefully the final version should qualcoms codec.

Noticed a number of Bluetooth bugs logged with Google regarding Pie.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=bluetooth
Someone raised the A2 Lite issue, but it was rejected, saying it was up to xiaomi to sort.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/122369751
Just wondering if it could be a hardware issue, e.g. wifi and bluetooth using same frequency on same ariel and interrupting each other?
They (google) do seem to have assigned the SBC codec issue for investigation so that is positive.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/123179438
Had the same problem and went back to oreo.
Now everything works fine.
Ive repacked the aptx module in magisk, and bluetooth works loads better. i do get the odd jump where the equalizer switches on and off due to system optimizing, apart from that, all good. If anyone want to try heres link to the repack, with thanks to those who made the previous modules. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqlJY73bUA7rholXS82XCuculBPhag . Use at own risk.

You need magisk v18, goto modules and click the plus sign, navigate to where the module is located and click on module, magisk will install it. Im not sure if it will fix issue but i can tell you thats it performs better and less latency than sbc.

After installing january 5 update, the problem persist at the same way.
I have noticed in some situations that audio stay OK. For example, while at work, in my desktop using BT audio w/my headset, everything is ok. But if someone pass nearby my place, audio start working bad until the person went far enough. I think other devices BT affects audio, or antother type of EM signals, like WiFi, maybe...
I wish i could turn off "always visible" option in my device to test it. But that option is missed in PIE
I have the same problem
I have an issue with a new pair of bluetooth headphones i have just purchased. Specifically media playback sound quality. It is utterly woeful, with distortion, hiss, and cackles/pops continually over any media player or videos. Sound quality on calls is fine. I know that the headphones work, as i have used them on other devices and they function fine. My S9 is currently up to date.
I initially though that it was something to do with volume limiter as the weird thing is occasionally when they immediately connect and i play some music they work fine, then the quality drops as soon as the limiter notice pops up. I have checked though and the limiter is actually turned off. Turning it back on doesn't solve the issue either. I've gone so far as to wipe the whole cache partition and nuke all the caches, but that hasn't helped either.
Is there a known issue that I am unaware of ? Hopefully with a resolution, or other obvious steps i could try that people could recommend, as I am out of ideas now.

i flip back and forth between a few different BT headsets and never have this issue and have also used the same headsets on several devices in my bag-o-tricks. The phone does use a DAC for music where its pretty raw for the phone convo, which could explain why calls are ok, but music isnt. Is this your only pair of BT headphones? Do you know anyone who will help you test them on another phone?

I have experimented a bit more, and think that this is a codec issue. If I enable the developer menu, and switch to another codec (not the SDC if defaults to) them restart the headset they work fine. Problem is that it always defaults back to SDC whenever the headphones are disconnected for a period of time. I can't see how to force the use of another codec, both AAC and LDAC for example work absolutely fine with the headset. Though this is quite a long process just to get the headphones to work each and every time i want to use them.

gotcha. i also understand youre probably at work like many of us poor schmucks such as myself, which would make it kinda hard to test things out right this moment. But do any of your coworkers have a BT speaker you can connect to to try to replicate the issue there as well? Im mainly trying to eliminate variables at this point. You might try flashing the most current Odin files with the "HOME_CSC" as to not erase your user data. Itll over-write the code for the OS and so forth and nuke any software issues that might be causing this
I've now tested another set of bluetooth headphones and they work absolutely fine, they default into the aptX codec. Is that determined by what the device primarily works with ?

yes, the codec is changed by the DAC within the phone to be the best suited to whatever device its connecting to. What kind of headphones are you using that get the garbage sound? I have a pair of Tozo T10's, which are the off-brand individual ear buds from amazon for $50 and they sound very good. I also have a pair of maxsonic bluetooth buds which cost $17 that are connected to each other by a wire and they sound equally as good.
I've found out that headphones mic only works on Oreo roms (didn't try Nougat...), not on Pie... Bluetooth mic is working ok
Is this a general problem or just my device's fault? What should I have to do for Pie roms to have working mic?

Can please list the ROMs you have tried & faced this issue.
I have used multiple Pie based Custom ROMs & mic did work fine.
Infact for many video shooting projects, I used wired mic (lapple) & headphone based mic for voice over.
Worked ok for me.
Just for testing, try different pair of headphones to see if anything wrong with a perticular pair or brand of headphones.
Thanks
Actually it was not a rom version problem, I installed zui 1.9 qpst and still no sound.
It just was.... dust in the socket... working great now... I've wasted a lot of time thinking it was a software problem but no...
So this phone will last maybe a year more
