Bluetooth Troubles? - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

Is anyone experiencing issues with the Bluetooth? In one of my cars, audio streaming via BT is useless. It constantly drops in & out. Phone is useless as well via BT. In my other car, audio streaming is decent ( only drops in & out every 10 min or so) but phone quality still blows!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Titan - Bluetooth issues with Motorola S9 Stereo Headset

Hello,
I have the Verizon version of the Titan, with the newest ROM / Radio installed as of 7/5/08. I am having issues with a Motorola S9 Stereo bluetooth headset. Whenever the headset is more than about 2 feet away from the phone, the performance is intermittant. I get about 25% of the signal when listening to Media Player or TCPMP.
Does anyone have any information or troubleshooting suggestions on how to fix this issue? Any and all responses are much appreciated.
Thank you.
I have the same phone/headphones and have the same problem. I believe the headphones aren't meant to be used far away. I keep the phone in my hand but if its in my pocket sometimes the music will cutout. I'm assuming since it's meant to be used in a gym they didn't make it very strong so people don't pair your headphones with their phone thinking its their headphones. I also have a pair of sharper image bluetooth speakers and noticed that I have to keep my phone within 5-10 feet or else I'll have the same problem. Maybe our bluetooth isn't very strong either.
same here
Same issue. I can't walk with the phone in my pocket and the listen without music cutting out. I am returning them this week. They do work well, however, if I have the phone setting on my desk.
i have similar issues, they work great indoors, the problem is outside...
the manual does say that other signals outside interfere with the bluetooth signal, and i definitely find this to be true.
i was able to get a price match at bestbuy, so mine only cost 40 bucks.
I figure theyre worth that for when im on the train or bus, or when im at the gym. signal works fine for those times, just not so great walking/running down the street.
Outdoor issues
I agree, the issues seem to be mostly when using the devices outdoors. When indoors, I can go 30 feet away and the signal is clear without skipping. Outside, when the phone is in my pocket, the signal cuts out every 5 seconds or so.
Any ideas or suggestions helpful.
Thank you.

Crap Bluetooth?

I purchased mine yesterday. Once the WOW effect wore off, came the disappointments..
The bluetooth is terrible. Lots of static in my Plantronics Voyager Pro, and also it pairs with my Nissan BT handsfree, but only connects the first time, afterwards its not possible to connect to it anymore.
Flashed to the latest KE7, factory reset, did not help at all.
How can such an expensive phone be like this? Bluetooth is one of the most important features in a phone...
I have the same pairing issue like you. DonĀ“t get my Sony Bluetooth headset to work. Tested it with two devices.
I have car bt xplode System and i never had it so good. Always connects. It does skip if wifi is on though. I had the same issue with gs1.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Happily mine works nice, with SonyEricsson a2dp stereo headset, Belkin a2dp receiver, a nokia handsfree (not sure about the model), the file transfer is faaaaaast
It has paired everything I used it with and no problems so far.
The sound is even better than it is via my retired iphone.
does anyone tried working with SE LIVEVIEW.
My N1 had truble, and looking forword to SGS2 and don't know yet if it is OK.
Also have problem with a Plantronic Discovery 975. Statics and stuttering sound. No problem pairing though and it is the same (bad) sound quality if I'm near or 5 m away.
I'm on KE7 firmware.
Wow, should this be added to the official bug list?
For me, bluetooth intermittently skips if wifi is turned on. Once I turn wifi off, its crystal clear. This has happened on all my different bluetooth headsets so if other are experiencing the same thing, I think this is definitely an "official bug".
Mine skips, and randomly drops connection to my JVC car stereo requiring a reboot. Back and forward buttons don't work reliably either.
Anyone who says theirs is clear is wrong. They just don't have an ear for decent sound quality. The bitpool on every Android phone (including Cyanogen) is horribly low and it really shows in the mid-high tones (ie hi-hats). No-ones is different.
Worst of all, sometimes if I get out of my car, I'll get a 'hot' leg where the device is overheating from the bluetooth going nuts. I feel like it's damaging my SGS2.
Yapp, can confirm that turning of wifi stopped the stuttering. Sound isn't great but probably usable. Defenitly a bug?

Any progress on this yet? Mine drops the sound quite a lot. Remains connected but just no sound and does this about every 15 minutes, requiring bluetooth to be turned on and off.
First let me start off by saying, my bluetooth pairs well with my Motorola S7HD and the sound to ME is DECENT until you put it in your pocket and from there it gets "staticky" somewhat but not too bad.
As for the car, I have to manually pair the phone to the car stereo every time. Sometimes it would connect it to automatically. The sound to MOST of us in the car is fine. Keep in mind most of us aren't audiophiles. If it plays well, understandable, and without any static, it's a ok in my book.
The suckerpunch is that sometimes the bluetooth would drop connection now and then. I need to do a restart on the phone to get it flowing again. Meh.
If anyone finds a fix, please tell
i also get crappy sound quality, but whats worse is, that neither the mic nor the earplugs work on my BT headset when i try to answer a call! (sony ericsson mw600 headset)
only when i pause the call and resume it, the headset works!
did anyone experienced this?
solved it by disabling wifi....seems to be a common android issue
Any progress on this issue?
E.g. does 2.3.4 improve?
Hi @all,
I noticed a (bluetooth) headset issue while calling (not only in this rom, even in all roms i have tested): when wifi is on, crack sounds make every call inaudible.
It happens with plantronics voyager 520 and BMW professional (2011) car kit.
I can't believe having the best phone with such an error.
Suspending wifi, stops the crack sounds, but the quality of headset calls is much worse than with my "old" SGS1.
I use my phone two hours a day for calling. I'm not amused about this fact.
Other surveillances?

[Q] Bugs in the Android bluetooth stack? Bluetooth audio drops on Android, not iPhone

I'm trying to run a pair of UE Boom bluetooth speakers in 'double-up' mode (where they pair together and run in stereo). When running from a MotoX, the audio drops every few seconds and comes back. When running the speakers from a Nexus4, I experience the same audio drops. If I only use one speaker at a time, there's no audio drops.
When running the speakers in double up mode from an iPhone 5, the audio does not drop at all! Is there some known issue with Bluetooth in Android that would explain why the iPhone doesn't have the same bluetooth audio issues that I'm experiencing with both Android devices? Or is it more likely that this is a bug with the speakers? My support ticket is here: http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Logit...n-Double-Up/m-p/1333545/highlight/false#M4871
Turns out I was wrong, this thread can probably be deleted.
The speakers drop audio when running from an iPhone 5 as well, just not as frequently. This is more likely an issue with the speakers than anything else.

[Q] Bluetooth audio issue

I've gotten very used to wandering around with a set of Motorola Buds around my neck-- the sound quality isn't AMAZING, but they're functional, and they maintain a connection over larger distances than I'm used to with other BT headsets. I tend to use them for music, voice calls, podcasts, and just about anything else.
At some point in the last few days, the sound quality of these headphones has gone from adequate to abysmal. It sounds to me like the phone is all of a sudden processing everything through phone audio instead of media audio-- everything has that tinny, compressed quality, and GREATLY decreased volume. Sound files seem to be taking longer to load, as well. I'm fairly sure that it's not the headset-- I connected them to my tablet and they sound just fine. I haven't tried connecting a different BT accessory to the phone yet, but that's the next step. I thought I'd poke my head in here first and see if anyone has had this issue.
I'm on a TMO Galaxy S5, running Project Infinity v.8. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Music through Bluetooth sounds terrible

Hey guys. I have a 2017 Subaru wrx. When I connect my v 30 over Bluetooth to listen to my music it sounds tinny and metallic. I'm using Google music to stream music. I never had issues with music over Bluetooth with my previous phones. Any help is greatly appreciated!

What head unit? I have the non navigation unit in mine. Wondering if it'll sound the same.
No issues streaming over to my car, Mazda 3 here. Not sure what to tell you as it's just a digital stream of data between your phone and car. All of the unpackaging is done on the car's side of things. The phone is using the newer BT 5 which allows it to put out a lot more data, so I don't see that being a problem. Check your streaming quality settings in Google Music and if that's set as high as it can go, check to see if maybe your car's system needs an update.

I have the non navigation unit too.
I have problems with podcasts, but music comes through beautifully.
Are you streaming files from the phone or streaming from your own music or listening to streaming stations? If streaming, you can try adjusting the quality settings in google play music.
No issues here with my Hyundai Sonata w/ Infinity headunit. I use standard BT (44 KHz) and Android Auto (48 KHz) and actually find the quality to be improved from my past 3 phones (V20, S8+, Note8).
I get popping and crackling streaming to isimple connect.
Music and podcasts were fine for me. Call were terrible. Lots of static on calls. I has this issue with two V30s. I had to return the phone and go with the GS8+.
coming from my moto pure, which was terrible on the bluetooth with my 2013 tacoma (HU is from a 2015 Tacoma) i had decent sound but it would drop out all the time, this phone is a dramatic improvement. there are more features in play, and the sound quality is as good as can be expected for streaming audio on a stock unit and speakers.
I was just coming in to say the same. Even from my V20, going through a cheap walmart BT - FM Transmitter, the sound is richer on the V30 than it was before, and less static between the devices.
Check your quality settings in Google

Have you tried changing the quality on mobile network settings in Google Play Music? Could be a case the source is low quality causing your distortion.
I've tried changing the quality and there's no difference.
I'm currently struggling with static over Bluetooth in my WRX. This morning I actually did a factory reset on the stereo. I couldn't tell as I was kinda in a hurry to test it too much. I will find out here in about 1.5hrs though.

Do you have Android Auto as an option? I've found BT streaming to be more stable when I use AA in my car. It streams at 48Hz instead of 44Hz.
That being said, I don't have quality issues either way. Just the occasional blip in streaming that lasts less than a second.

I don't have that option unfortunately. I wish I did though. What I've tried so far, just creates the same issue. No way around it as of yet.

I will test tomorrow in my car where I stream over my audio system using a Audioengine B1. So far I tested BT today using my BT headphones and they definitely sound a little different. I think they sound cleaner and very good though. This is compared to my Moto X Pure 2015, which seemed to sound very good also. The overall volume was a little lower than my previous phone but with the vol all the way up it was perfect for me to enjoy and overcome the sound of my lawnmower while cutting the lawn today
So no issues so far.
no problem at all on my jeep with Uconnect
Tested today in my car using my Audioengine B1 (stereo) and car BT (cell), sounds awesome!!
Plus found out since its a metal back plate it sticks to the dash magnet thingy I have vs using the metal plate inside of a case!!
SO far loving this phone.
Nothing useful to add at the moment beyond noting that my 2017 Subaru (BRZ) has the same issue. It appears it may be something unique to the pairing of a Subaru HU and the V30, or possibly just LG. My Sony Z5 works just fine with the stock HU, and the V30 works fine with a very cheap 1DIN HU I have around... I've reached out to Subaru but don't expect anything but finger pointing.
I'll instead likely be changing the HU to something that does Android Auto or even mirror-link... if only it were easy to make any sense of the Android HU offerings! I admit I'd sort-of like to keep the reverse camera and the steering wheel controls. I guess it wasn't worth saving the $800 on the 2017 after all (with 2018 now available for order with a price increase...) - then again, I may like whatever I install better.
I just wanted to add what I found since seems a lot of issues are from scoobies. I have an 2011 Forester XT stock non-nav HU. HU will never auto connect like it did with my HTC 10. But I found out that if I connect it through the HU works like a charm everytime. Before I was going to BT setting on the LGV30 and connecting it that way. And sometimes it would connect and if it did was really spotty, sound would stutter all the time. Drive me nuts. Now with connecting first through the HU works like a charm all the time, and just sometimes their is stutter. For my HU i've attached a pic of where the setting would be. and for me would be to click on "select audio player" and the click V30 and all is heaven.
Hope that helps some fellow scoobies.
