[Q] Bluetooth audio cutting out. - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Something I noticed today while driving was my Bluetooth audio would cutout every few minutes. It only happened on my Nexus 5 with an alpha ROM, but was fixed later. Anyone else notice this?

On the new moto x? No, I just had a couple hour car ride with zero issues listening to Play Music and Slacker Radio. Made a few calls, no issues either.

This happened to me on a 20 mile bike ride. Horrible having choppy audio for almost a few hours

I just noticed this too. I do have a Moto 360 as well so maybe that is messing with the blueooth? I have gone a couple car rides and it's perfect, and others it's really choppy.

This does seem to be a problem with me too. Sometimes perfect and sometimes not. When connected to Bluetooth I notice that Google maps speaker goes in and out as well as moto voice while driving

I can confirm that if you have a 360 this is the cause. You can verify this by disconnecting the 360 through wear and the problem going away. For now what I have due is set up an IFTT to disconnect wear when by car's Bluetooth is connected.

I actually don't have anything else connected via Bluetooth and it still happens to me.

I figured it out. I was driving and I turned off Bluetooth completely and the voice worked perfectly. As soon as I connected back to Bluetooth the voice got choppy again...

I looked over in the Note 3 forums, and users were experiencing the same thing. Someone said to listen to music with the screen on to fix it. Today I listened to music with the screen left on and sure enough my music didn't stutter once the whole car ride.
This leads me to think either the processor is getting clocked too low for playing music through A2DP when the screen is off, or perhaps active display makes it stutter whenever it activates. I will look into it further today.
In the mean time, does anyone know of a processor control app that will change the minimum processor clock if bluetooth is connected? Perhaps there is one with a tasker plugin.

I'm experiencing the same issue, really sucks.... I'll try disconnecting the Moto360 on my drive today and see if that fixes it - although I swear I've had the issue before while it wasn't connected.

SetCPU could possibly do this. You can definitely set the minimum CPU clock, but I'm not a 100% whether you can get it to do this WHEN a bluetooth device is connected. SetCPU has a profiles where you can define certain parameters based on conditions.
Of course, before you can get SetCPU working you'll need to root your phone and I have a suspicion that all other CPU clock apps will need root access too.

Has anyone had any luck resolving this?

I'm hoping that either an OTA or Android L will fix this. My Moto X is fine when I'm using my Motorola S11-HD headset, but when connected to my car it goes in and out every few seconds.

So it isn't the processor. So far i have it down to either Wi-Fi or active display. Will report more when i find it.

Turning Wi-Fi off while connected to my car Bluetooth has fixed the issue for me. At least, so far it has.

I'm using PowerAMP for playing music and when I enabled the "high priority" setting in the headphone/bluetooth settings it seems to have resolved the problem until today. This morning on the way from work it started to cut out every few seconds. grrrr...

I have 2 bluetooth adapters in my car, one which takes only phone audio and one which takes phone and media audio, the latter one continously drops and reconnects phone audio (even after forgetting the other device), which makes me believe it is some hardware compatibility issue

I have posted on the official Motorola Forums but I though I should re-post here as well becuase well....XDA fixes things.
So I just purchased a Moto X 2nd Gen Pure Edition as an upgrade to My 1st Gen Moto G. Both phones have the same problem with the Bluetooth Audio sounding like a scratched CD skipping and studdering and it seems to be way worse a problem on the Moto X than I ever had on the Moto G. It's not buffering it happens with music on the phone. It doesn't happen every time I'm in the car but I'd say 50% of the time.
I would think it's the car but before the Moto G I owned a Galaxy Nexus and never had the problem as far as I remember. I'm sure I would remember it's really really annoying. I have even tested with a friends HTC M8 over a long road trip and there seemed to be no issue there. In my car (2011 Subaru Impreza) with the G or X after a time it eventually starts skipping even if it takes a couple hours.
So I did some research before and have tried various things.
I have disabled the Wifi while connecting to BT as Motorola has recommended to owners of other phones. That didn't help them it doesn't help me.
I have removed all other BT devices from the phone while connected. Nope
I have removed the Phone in the profile so my car doesn't try to use it as a phone as well at the same time. Nothing
I have done all of the above at the same time stopped every other program other than Google Music and added the phone to my car fresh and I still have this issue.
During my research about my car the only complaints similar I found seem to come from someone else with Moto phones. I dont' know what they do special with their Bluetooth but it's not helping me out.

You could try to upgrade your car's firmware. Some dealers do this for free, with some cars it is easy to do yourself

This is what fixed the audio in my Mustang with Sync. The Ford dealership did not charge me anything for them to do it.

a2dp stutters when I move the diamond

ok, so I just noticed something really annoying. I just came back from my daily running and it was the first time I used the diamond with my stereo bluetooth philips headset for this instead of the ipod.
as soon as I started running and the diamond jumped up and down in my pocket the music started stuttering like crazy. like the old days when I had a cd player without shock memory
first I thought this had something to do with sensor lock running, but I uninstalled it and the problem is still there. I now tried to reproduce the stuttering when at home and it seems to be connected to the distance. when I hold the phone close to the bluetooth headset and start shaking the phone like crazy nothing happens. as soon as I move it down to my pockets it begins stuttering when I rapidly move the phone around.
I tried searching the forums but couldnt really find anything stutter related when it comes to motion. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the motion sensor or with my headphones weak bluetooth receiver...
any suggestions are welcome here, I'm a bit baffled by this whole thing.
greets,

Stuttering?
Sounds more likely to be your headphones. I use Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones and have no issue with the sound jumping, skipping or anything... unless I leave my Diamond in the house and walk down the garden! I'm not sure whether all Diamonds have the same bluetooth hardware. If some incarnations have different hardware, this might be the issue.
Can you 'borrow' a mates' headphones to see if you get the same result?
Perhaps one of the techno wizards here can let us know if there are any differences in the bluetooth hardware between various Diamond devices?
thanks for your answer. I'll try to find someone with another bluetooth headset.
I hope it's not hardware related. can you tell me what radio version and rom you got running? maybe there's a difference here.
sounds like its a problem with the bluetooth range, if you shake the phone when its near the headset it doesnt make trouble but when its more far away you get problems, so i would think it get out of transmission range.
no problem here with bluetooth on shaking
greets
what bluetooth headset do you have? the weird thing is, if I lay the phone flat on a table I can walk about 10 meters before I get any stuttering. why would shaking the phone reduce that range to about 1 meter?! that doesnt make any sense..
Lay your phone on the table walk around and shake yourself/headset and u will see it comes from ur headset.
Mine is plantronics dunno the specs can look tomorow as there is nothing on the headset.
greets
EDIT: if not i think the bloodtooth has a loose connection ?! But that shouldnt be on that onebrick device

[Q] Sound gaps while BT streaming to car audio.

Hi, I Have strange problem with my brand new Xperia Z3 Compact. I streams my music from Z3C to my Pioneer MVH-X360BT car audio. Every few minutes there is a gap in stream that lasts for maybe half a second. That's very annoying! Music is still playing during this gap but I can't hear it. I had similar problem with Xperia Z1 but I thought it was some problem in old Android and some bug in BT driver. Then I've had iPhone 5s and it worked like a charm! No gaps, no problems with BT. Now I've returned to Android and I'm starting to regret this :/
I've checked everything I could. I've turned on BT visibility, turned off Wi-Fi, checked if no notifications couse this. I've even flash clean stock firmware (originally phone came with branded firmware). Nothing. I've tested many players (Walkman, Power Amp, Player Pro, Double Twist etc). Nothing. I though that maybe problem is in my SD card (I store my music on external card), but: 1) it's very fast card 2) copying music to internal storage didn't change anything. Sound still has gaps. I don't now what to do I'm sure that my car audio is ok (iPhone works), today I've tested SGS5 with it and it worked well too. Problem is only with Xperia family (reminder: same problem on Xperia Z and Xperia Z3 Compact).
Any clues? I hate changing my phone again and I love battery life on Z3C (main reason I left iPhone).
Please help!

I have BT headphones and I am not experiencing those issues at all. Could it be that your phone goes into some kind of sleep mode and then wakes up again? Try with some app that keeps your phone constanly awake/screen on. Does the issue persist? Can you try out any other BT audio devices and report if the same problem exists?

Huh, I've turned off the 'Queue data in background' (I have polish locale and I don't know how this option is in english so I translated it literally) option in power management settings. Nothing has changed Also nothing has changed while I was driving car with Google Maps navigation (or Waze) turned on. Still gaps were present.
Unfortunately I don't have any other device that I could test my phone with Only other phones (and all phones works great).
I think I have to change Z3C to another phone, maybe SGS5 (but I don't like Samsung...)
Ehh, tough one

Hi there, I'm facing the EXACT same problem with a few minor differences in the setup:
I'm connected via cable to a philips CEM210. This so called "gap" usually happens when I skip a track(or when the next track comes on automatically).
I have recently purchased the kinivo btc455 and will let you know tomorrow if the issue persists on the BT device.
I actually think 2mal might be on to something here I use stamina mode regularly and I have rooted my device and change tracks via the volume keys.
So the issue might be the phone wakes up periodically (skip track? check notification queue?)

I have all power safe options turned off. Notification queue is empty. I have this problem only via BT. When listening with phone connected to radio by USB, everything is ok.

Try this app while you listen to music over BT : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive
Still gaps?
Also I have Viper4android installed, dont think this would make a difference since it also worked before but its worth a try.
Get the apk from here and follow the instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
I assume your device is rooted as it only works on such.
Speaking of weird bluetooth bugs, my music has been playing in fast-forward occasionally (cm12). I have no idea why this happens or how to fix it, so if anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.

Stay Alive didn't help. There are still gaps once for a audio track.
My device isn't rooted so Viper is not an option :/
Thank you, though

Hmm , last idea , try turning the timeout for visibility option in the bluetooth menu (in the right corner on the bottom when bt is turned on) to no timeout.

That was the first thing I did. No effect, of course.
Sad but true - I have to get a new phone. And this time no Sony

Jeah too bad i could not help, what you could try is go to a store and ask them whether you could try out some BT headphones, with the pretext of buying them ofc . If the issue is still present then it may be hardware related and an exchange unit could work just fine. Otherwise it points to some incompatibility issue that could maybe fixed somehow but not by me and my current expertise . Especially since i am not experiencing the same. Wish you the best and good luck !
I use a Bluetooth headset (mw600). Started with a nokia n900 and it had frequent gaps, probably due to wifi/interference. With the Z3C started with no gaps but now get few most likely when it leaves any wifi connection (hotspots).
Since you have tried all options on the phone side, it seems to be an issue with the particular car stereo. How about you reset the stereo by removing all power sources to it then pair the phone as a fresh new device and check if issue continues?
I have a similar issue. It seems like a head unit problem for me. Many problems there are with Pioneerer Head Units. Please don't buy this brand...
Have same problem with my Z3 and pioneer car sound.... No issues when i used samsung devices... Now i have a Z3 and the sound fails all the time....
I have 2 headsets bluetooth and i dont have any trouble....
The problem is between sony devices and pioneer!!!
Help!!!
This is not just between Sony and Pioneer. I have a Cardo Scala G9 BT headset for motorcycles, and never had a problem with my Nokia 808 for music streaming, nor my Nokia X2 DS (strictly used for GPS, no SIM).
Now that I bought my Z3C, I have this random gaps of silence while streaming music. Extremely annoying. Even after rebooting the phone, no resolution. Thought maybe there are some bugs with 5.1.1, so I went ahead and updated the firmware on my G9 from 1.6 to 2.1. Still same issue.
Another issue I found with the Z3C: When music streaming is playing, and I get a text message or a new email, the music volume lowers, but no notification sound comes through, before the music volume resumes. On my other phones, when I get a text message, the music volume goes down, and I hear the audio for new text, email, or whatever.
It is extremely annoying. Anybody know how to resolve first and second problem I listed?
Not a Sony issue. Had this with an lg g3 on a kenwood car stereo and the same with the z3c. Seems to be an android issue, as it didn't happen with ios. I am not 100% sure, but I think it only started with lollipop, because I had an htc one m7 before the lg and I don't remember ever having this before...
Yeah, I am inclined to agree with you.
With my Acura, the music has zero gaps. But when I am on a hands free call, I get the gaps! So it must be something buggy with how Android handles one of the BT channels. It is extremely annoying. And on the hands free calls, when the gap happens, my telephony audio goes to the phone. And when I try to switch it to BT mode, nothing, until the gap ends. Then I can switch back to BT mode. This is extremely frustrating.
Bump. I've been having this problem for months. I had it in KitKat too and it happens with any Bluetooth device. It always happens in specific parts in my route (place I go to often), even though I may have never connected to WiFi there or WiFi is off. Could it have something to do with GPS activity?
Any solution for this strange problem?

Hello everyone!
I also have exact same problem with my Z3C and... Sony's MEX-N5100BT, there's a couple miliseconds gap while the music is playing. The best part is that while I'm talking through the radio's built-in BT Phone, the audio never has this gap... or I haven't heard that since I'm using this radio.
But you know what? This happens so rarely that I just ignored it and got used to it and I recommend you to do the same

Nexus 6 Bluetooth Stuttering

Hi everyone, main issue plaguing my N6 experience here... upgraded not too long ago from a G3.
There seems to be bluetooth stuttering with this phone. It is something that I haven't run into in any other phone (HTC One M7, M8, LG G3). I'm connecting to the car stereo and it connects calls okay, but when I connect it to a friend's car stereo (Sony stereo.. don't know the model #) or any of my bluetooth headsets (Sony MDR10BT primarily) I will get stuttering when trying to listen to music.
The main thing I noticed is the stuttering only happens when I have something in front of the device. I put it in my pocket and the stuttering starts. I wave my arm in front of it (in between the headset and the device), it will stutter.
I've looked around for solutions on this issue, no solution in sight. I think it has to do with the radio not getting enough power, this was never an issue with any of the other phones.
FAQ:
-I'm rooted, running stock kernel & Chroma 2015-06-05 build. Note this happens on Euphoria ROM as well.
-No, I'm not using a smartwatch
-This happens when the WiFi is both on and off
-This happens when screen rotation is set to automatic or portrait only
-Bluetooth is not being logged
-My jeans aren't sewn with any radio blocking materials
This has been driving me crazy. I noticed it seems to be much better with Developer M.
It only happens with my bluetooth headphones when I'm walking, so your description makes sense. It's the only time I really have my hands on my phone when using bluetooth.
When I'm using it for car audio, I have it in a dock. When I'm using a bluetooth speaker, it's on a table or desk.
I'll have to try some stuff out and see if it makes a difference, but as I said, I just switched to M and it seems to help.
Maybe hardware issue
I am experiencing the same behavior with a non rooted stock up to date Android on the nexus 6. It will sometimes stutter to the point where it just stops working and I have to restart the phone for Bluetooth to be usable again.

Anyone having Bluetooth Issues in car

I'm using an AT&T variant in a Chevy 2015 Equinox. The phone operates fine with calls but stutters and skips with streaming audio. Any app I use it does the same thing; Poweramp, Google Music, Pandora, etc. My wife's iPhone 6 Plus has no issues whatsoever. Is this a phone issue, an AT&T software issue or car issue? Anyone experience anything like this and can give me some direction? TIA
I had something like that happen before. Doesn't happen much anymore. I wasn't streaming though. Listening to podcast I downloaded. It would play fine for a while but then start to stutter. Would work fine after I woke up the phone so assume it had something to do with the processor dropping down too low like it was trying to go to sleep or just the use the low power cores maybe. Just a guess. Doesn't happen anymore though. I'm on t mobile.

This is a widespread issue with Bluetooth on Android (since about KitKat, possibly earlier) that spans just about every possible combination of hardware and software. It is exactly like you said -- the phone's CPU is too slow to keep up with Bluetooth audio decoding and streaming when the screen is asleep. The CPU governor is too aggressive on saving every last microwatt of battery life, and would rather your experience suffer instead.
The issue is very well-documented, but Google refuses to fix it. See here for hundreds of complaints spanning every major manufacturer and just about every imaginable Bluetooth headphones, speakers, headset, earbuds, etc. etc.:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=95294
its an easy fix, just download kernel adiutor, set the minimum to 500 and see. I personally set the min and max of little cpu to 900 and big to 1200mhz.

What Could Cause Bluetooth Audio Stutter? [6.0.1]

Hey everyone,
I've been battling this issue since Day 1, and its been a bumpy road. It seems as though this is a widespread issue across many Android devices, and fixes range but none of them seem to completely eliminate it.
When connected to Bluetooth audio, certain devices, the audio stutters or "skips". Ive noticed this extensively in KItKat. One fix for rooted devices was to increase the idle CPU frequency, I did so with Tasker and it definitely suppressed the stuttering, but did not completely eliminate it.
One of the most notable points of stuttering is when you answer a call via Bluetooth, then hang up. After hanging up, and music resuming, there is a solid ~10-20 seconds of constant stuttering and skipping until playback returns to normal.
Imagine my surprise when I upgraded to 6.0.1, and had absolutely no stuttering without increase CPU frequency or anything! Just buttery-smooth playback, all the way through, even after hanging up a call.
However, a couple of weeks after, the issue came back again. I had to re-enable my task to increase idle CPU frequency, and that horrible stutter after hanging up a call is back, strong as ever. To me this indicates perhaps something I modified after stock interfered., however nothing I can think of should come close to affecting it, other than XPOSED (however, XPOSED was installed prior to this issue coming back up, and no new modules were added)
Additionally, since Marshmallow, my phone won't reconnect automatically to my head unit. For example, when my car is on accessory mode and the stereo is on and BT connected. When I start the car, the system momentarily turns off for ~5 seconds at most, and turns back on. With Lollipop it would automatically reconnect, here is causes some serious problems as the only way to get them to reconnect after is to turn off the stereo and the phone, and turn both back on again. Sometimes I even have to do a couple of cycles.
Does anyone have any ideas?
i tried to do everything possible to fix the issue... I have a stuttering keyboard as well... anykeyboard I use seems to stutter, it lags a little, but most words that i type apear two times...
I have no issues at all like that, or stuttering throughout the system. It is specifically related to Bluetooth audio.
Anyone?

If you do not have this problem, what kernel do you use? I just flashed BeastMode today, hoping that will bring me a bit of luck. However as it worked initially and a few weeks later broke down into the pathetic mess once again, I have my doubts
I use power amp and in advance I set thread priority to the highest and audio buffer to 750ms. I've used them all and haven't had skipping

Seems to have improved it, but reconnect issue is still present
The reconnect issue may be related to the stuttering.
The unit may be also trying to download contacts at the same time which causes the stutter.
Have you tried unpairing it from the unit, renaming your phone and then pairing it again?

I have in fact tried to re-pair the unit many times, to no avail. Factory resets also yield no benefits. It is set to auto download contacts, I'll try to disable that option to see if it improves anything.
I have the stuttering almost removed, however it still sometimes occurs. On a recent long-distance road trip, it randomly started stuttering after playing flawlessly for 1.5 hours, it was incredibly frustrating. I rebooted the phone, and the stereo, reconnected and it started playing smoothly again. Keep in mind however this is with both raising idle CPU frequency, and changing the poweramp options mentioned in Post #7
Perhaps I should try a custom ROM?
You can also try stopping media scanning. I think there is a xposed plugin
I only notice this on a non-name-brand headset. (Also, after it happens, I disconnect and reconnect...and it works fine from there on out...until Power down) My other 3 don't have this problem. Music plays, get a call, hang up, music pick right up. Didn't read your post in detail to see if you've tried a different pair of BT receiver.
FWIW it's not just you, also use PowerAmp, have the buffer turned up, and also get stuttering. On pvsgh's stock rooted deodex'd debloated 5.1.1 with beast mode 1.92 + ZL fix and both my motorola s10 headset and sharkk speaker stutter from time to time. It does not seem to be universal. In the beast mode thread it bluetooth audio issue was brought up, but didn't really get much attention ::shrugs, palms up:: I even limited them to media only but still get the stuttering.
Like so many things it seems, it worked ok before the MM update (910t3 on dok2 ootb) and now doesn't. Kinda like my ability to sign into enterprise level (work - EAP login) routers...
CM12.1 didn't make a difference in my case. Been on several stockish 5.1.1 roms as well. It still happens. Swapping out roms doesn't appear to pay off. It hasn't for me anyway :-/
Interested to see if a solution (or a cause?) lands here...
