P8 Lite Bluetooth call quality problem - P8lite General

I run the Kinivo BTC-450 aftermarket hands free kit in my 2011 Ford Edge. Both my P8 Lite and Huawei Y536 connect and stream music just fine but I get intermittent garbled speech problems with both of them during calls. My Moto G works perfect for calls through the Kinivo. Kinivo sent me a replacement unit but the problem persists with my Huawei phones. Could there be a problem with Huawei's bluetooth software that is causing this?????

Figured it out!!!! For some reason I have to turn off WIFI on both of my Huawei phones to prevent interference when using my Kinivo hands-free kit. Funny thing is, I never had a problem with these phones when using the factory bluetooth in my 2014 Lincoln MKX. I wonder if Huawei uses an integrated chip that has both wifi and bluetooth on it???

Free Hands

Hi, anyone knows that hands-free model is compatible with the Razr i?
I tried several and none detects the microphone, says "headphones without microphone"
Also bad experience with BT handsfree in my Mercedes; previous phones (iPhone, Nexus I, Nexus S) paired w/o trouble, Razr i just refuses pairing.. Never digged into it don't call much while driving, but imho it MUST be some moto problem.. Any solution would be welcome.
kradzt, if you asking about wired handsfree, I have Klipsch Image S4A. It`s working good (has microphone and one button).
bmszabo, I also have BT handsfree from Nokia, it`s working without problem...

[Q] Bluetooth Issues

Been having bluetooth audio stuttering issues with the Moto X when playing music/podcasts. Only seems to happen in my car with the Chevy MyLink system (Blackberry QNX-based). Works fine with a regular set of bluetooth headphones.
I've tried:
Disabling Wifi
Rebooting Directly Before Connecting to Bluetooth
Re-pairing the device
Turning off NFC
Un-pairing all other bluetooth devices
Turning on the developer option to leave the screen on when plugged in, to force the phone to not sleep
Moving the phone to different places in the car (assuming it was a reception issue)
Disabling the phone profile in bluetooth, leaving only the media profile
Different music players
Playing music from local storage rather than streaming it
None of it seems to help. The only real difference I can see is that the car bluetooth stereo supports AVRCP 1.3 (Track information, song/album title) and the other bluetooth streaming devices I've tested don't.
Does the Moto X just have a buggy bluetooth stack? (this worked fine on my old Note 3) Anyone else have this issue (and possible have a fix)?
I just started using my phone in my car to stream music today, using a CoolStream Bluetooth adapter and noticed the same thing. I have two CoolStream devices, so I was going to do some testing before posting anything (I used the other in my office today without issue). I just received a replacement Moto X (for another reason) today, so I will try it out tomorrow.

Funnily even I have Bluetooth issues.. I own a pair of bluebuds x and after pairing the device the audio was still playing through phone. I have to disconnect Bluetooth and restart bluebuds x and immediately start playing music after connection is established. if I wait for 2 mins again same problem.
From the motorola forums, there is a suspicion that this is related to the charger that is being used. Can you confirm if this happens if you are using bluetooth music on battery?

This happens even when the phone is on battery.
That being said, it does seem worse when I'm using my Belkin 2.1 amp car charger.
Hmm, definitely starting to sound like a bluetooth software problem, hoping this gets some visibility @ Moto.
Works well for me
No issues at all for me in my 2014 Hyundai Tucson.
Huge problems mine connects then disconnects every 30 seconds have called Motorola 3 times going to call again ask for exchange or refund.

I was having the stuttering problem when using Bluetooth in my car (Subaru Imprezza). I use the PowerAMP audio player. Going into headset/bluetooth settings (in PowerAMP) and enabling the "High Priority" setting fixed this.
On my BT headset, it's always been fine. (i use the Motorola S11-HD)
I got in touch with Motorola support. They are replacing the phone. We'll see if the new one does the same thing.

I am on my second phone, it is better than the first, but the problem still exists.
This sounds like a major problem - I have a Sony Smartwatch 3 and it keeps dropping. I haven't tried anything else yet but this is already not looking good. Anyone with any answers running Lollipop?
same if not worse
I went from a moto x 2013 to a 2014 and uograded to lolipop. The stuttering is still on lolipop and i have othwr issues as well. When I try to play a vox it doesnt pause audio and is silent. It also fails to auto connect about 50% of the time. And wven when it does the audio is muted and i have to disconnect and re connect. Using an Alpine ute-42BT
I've been using my Moto X 2014 with a 2011 BMW and I have no issues with stuttering. The version of the car's Bluetooth stack supports AVRCP 1.4. I had some quirks with it and my previous LG G3 (time display was off, and previous/next controls from car didn't work properly). With the Moto X, everything works well and all information is displayed properly.
Does anyone know what version of AVRCP the Moto X has when running Lollipop? It seems like stock Lollipop is still stuck on 1.3 (I can't get a clear answer), but with the time being reported properly, I suspect 1.4 is being used on my Moto X.
I also have issues w Bluetooth. Stutters randomly w my Subaru Impreza, as well as my 2 UE Boom Speakers. Using Google Play Music All Access.
In addition, the Jawbone UP24 wouldn't sync w my phone. Had to restart the phone to push a sync through.
My phone was working fine until today. I was able to pause, play, and skip with my bluetooth receiver, but the audio was still coming out of my phone. This is terribly frustrating. I can't believe such a large issue has been going on for months with no announcement from Motorola.
My pure edition on lollipop stutters when the active display goes off on Bluetooth. Only send to happen then
I've notice using Bluetooth headphones none have the range they are suppose to. I've used Power beats 2 wireless, JBL Synchro's wireless, and Moto Hint. The range and Bluetooth auto seem to lack badly. Using a Bluetooth to aux adapter in my work van I've noticed it skipping as well. Hope this gets fixed its apparent that its a issue with the Moto X Bluetooth.
my bluetooth audio has become worthless. so much stuttering, calls sound like they are under water, moto assist voice in the car is so quiet
i can't stand it.

BT keeps stopping

I just noticed that phone is not connected to my bmw car kit most of the time, because BT keeps stopping. Now this is a show stopper for me. This seems like yet another cheap Chinese device which has nothing to do with Nokia.

Any other people who have the same problem? I do need BT all day for headset and connection to an OBD-device..
Gesendet von meinem EVA-L19 mit Tapatalk
I'm connected all day and night to a Xiaomi Mi-Band 2. BT never disconnects from it.
Also when I'm driving, I connect to a 2nd device which is an MPOW bluetooth receiver connected to the car's aux port. Also never experienced the BT stopping or dropping the devices (2 simultaneously, yes, using Oreo beta).
Dunno if this helps or qualifies to compare what you're experiencing.
I experience the same Bluetooth disconnections while using my Parrot carkit. Unusable for now. Running on Nougat oct security update
People report about car connection in other phones too, I think it's might be a OS problem. For me I use bluetooth headphone, never get disconnected. But sometimes have audio drop out when moving.
I have a slightly old ford kit.
Yes Bluetooth on it seems a hit or a miss. Connects and the audio comes for a few seconds and then just stops. Calls or audio just stops to work
I would like to blame the phone since my old Nokia 808 and galaxy S6 work fine but my brother's one plus 3 has the same problem.
Bluetooth audio plays just fine over my Volkswagen stereo BUT the play/pause/skip doesn't work and the song info (metadata) doesn't display.
Really frustrating as it was working so well before on my Huawei P9.
I'm running 7.1.1, really hope Oreo comes quick to fix this ?

This was the not very useful advice from Nokia support.
You may have guessed that it didn't work and I'm back using my Huawei... Looks like this phone will be going back to the seller by the end of the week.
Unless Oreo magically comes to save the day. Anyone want to place a bet?
Nokia implemented Bluetooth version 5 so maybe there is a compatibility issue.

Thanks but it was my understanding that Bluetooth versions are backwards compatible? It's a 2012 car stereo and I've tested 2 other Nougat 7.1.X devices which work perfectly.
Music does play from the Nokia but it's the controls and song info that is missing.
I'm back to using my Huawei P9 as my daily driver because of it
So it seems as if there are mostly problems when running Nougat, while it's working under Oreo.
Will watch this thread before going for a new handset. Quite unsure between Mate 10 non-pro, Nokia 8 and OnePlus 5/5t. Dual-SIM is absolutely necessary for me, in Germany they use band 20 (800 MHz) in many areas. As I'm using a Samsung Gear S3 and that OBD-device in my car and furthermore a BT headset, a bigger battery or more efficient device is what I'm looking for.
Seems as if this is getting hard to decide...
sent directly from my mind using my upper extremities..
I'm seeing issues on Nokia 8 with Ford audio in my van. It's not that it disconnects, but when skipping to next / previous song in Play Music, progress indicator continues to move, but no audio comes out unless turn off Bluetooth and back on. Happens when using onscreen skip button, or steering wheel skip buttons. Same worked fine with Nexus 6.

I am using my Nokia 8 for about a week with Ford Ranger (about one year old) and completely there is no any issues.
Regards
A workaround (of sorts) for me is to cycle through the inputs in the car dash (bluetooth, aux-in, fm1, fm2, dab, then back to Bluetooth) which brings audio back and the skip/next buttons work as intended.
Should also clarify that it is not just Play Music. Same issue in Castbox, so not app specific.
Fired up the Nokia 8 last night and see there's a November security patch being rolled out.
This seems to bring my kernel version up to Nov 9 - hopefully this might have an effect on the Bluetooth compatibility and stability?
Haven't had a chance to test it yet but it's going back on Saturday morning if not fixed...

I have only connection problems with my Parrot 3100 carkit. Connection drops when calling. Bluetooth connection drops randomly. Stays connected when not calling. No issues with other Bluetooth devices.
The November update did not solve the carkit issue. Unfortunately. My hopes are on Oreo..

My problems are still persistent on the new November kernel.
I feel like this will be a forgotten device once the Nokia 9 is released in the New Year...
Would any of these Bluetooth developer options help those having issues?

I believe these are Oreo specific and despite the fact the rollout began yesterday it's yet to hit my phone. Fingers crossed, I've extended Nokia's deadline until Monday ?

I'm on official Oreo release so you are correct.

Can't talk handsfree in car.

So I got the phone and I'm trying to use the handfree Bluetooth in the car. I have connected the phone, and Spotify works flawlessly, but when I try to make a phone call it disconnects the car audio then goes to spraker/regular mode. I have tried to clear my Bluetooth app cache with no success. Do I have to sideload a new codec for the Bluetooth for it to stay connected to the car when making phone calls.
I'm running Pie 9, February 15th 2019 Update
Build number - P-mr1-rc003-rzr-190305.3110
I have searched but can't seem to find anything with the same issues as me, if come one could kindly point me at the right direction that would be great.
Having something similar.
My Wifes RP2 connects to an ATOTO A6 Pro headset, but when her phone rings it doesn't appear on the head unit, and we can't accept calls. you can initiate a call from the head unit, but it doesn't know the call is happening, so you can't drop the call. Been hoping Android 10 is coming soon, so I can upgrade her and test again.
My Huawei Mate 10 Pro works perfectly with the head unit, so I think this is RP2 related.
Did you find anything that helped you?
I'm having the exact same problem with my Razer Phone 2.
What car do you have? It's a 2015 Kia Soul for me.

Bluetooth microphone stopped working for everything except phone calls

Hi,
Since a few weeks I have a very annoying issue with my Note 9. The phone stopped using the microphone of a bluetooth device for all apps. It still uses the mic of BT for phone calls...
I have tested it with the following apps: Zoom , Teams, Skype and Whatsapp (voice). And also for recording video and the Samsung voicerecorder.
All of these apps worked perfect until a few weeks ago.
I have tested to following devices: my Sony MX1000 headphone, an old Jabra earset, a new JBL in-ear set and also my bluetooth carkit in the car.
All of these devices still work perfect with the phone of my wife.
And all of these devices use their microphones making phone calls.
Around the time it stopped working I started to use a Huawei GT2. So I installed their Health app. On the same day I recieved my JBL earphones. Not sure if that has anything to do with this issue.
I have done a factory reset twice. No luck...
The helpdesk of Samsung can't help. They advise to do a reset... Again...
It drives me totally crazy!
Is their anyone that can provide me some help?
Kind regards,
Peter
PS. I heard that Android 11 has a microphone switcher... Unfortunately the Note9 will never receive this version of Android.
same issue with my mi 10t pro,i think there is also some issue with your phone's mic
