Bluetooth [degraded] sound quality with Edge, Gear S2, and Mazda - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I just started noticing that when I listen to Pandora in my car via bluetooth on my S6 Edge, the sound quality has degraded. I can hear some static throughout the song (constant static). It's very light, and still fine to listen to but it's not as crisp as it once was.
I tested it, turning on and off my Gear S2 while I was in the car and it seems that the quality of sound degrades when the watch is on. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix this?

[Q] Bluetooth&Speaker Call Audio To Low - What to do?

Hello
Im having a problem with my s3 sound quality during a call, both with my bluetooth car kit and the phone speaker. On my bluetooth car kit, the sound is to low, even after i set it up to max on the phone and on the radio and the other person does hear me fine (it uses the mic from the car) but i can barely hear the other person.
The other issue is also during a call, if i put it to speaker ( which i did after i couldnt hear anything on bluetooth), the sound is still to low and i can barely understand what the other person is saying.
Its very annoying and its the first phone where this happens, even cheaper phones i had didn't had these issues. So i was wondering if anyone knows a solution for this? I thought of doing this sound mod- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136 - but im not sure if it works and im also afraid to set the volume to high and break the speaker. I also thought about the "acid audio mod", but i think thats just for music quality.
Thank you for your time

[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!

Bluetooth issue?

Quick question: is anyone having issues with Bluetooth stopping every so often while playing music? It does it on my Klipsch earphones & in my car (my only Bluetooth listening so far). What I've noticed is that it interrupts the music because it thinks it's in a call. If I press the button on my earphones that would end a call (or likewise in my car), the music starts right back up. It seems like an odd bug. Any thoughts?
Haven't seen anything wrong. I don't want to jinx myself but so far, it's actually working much better than my V20 was. Every day I'd have to turn my BT off and back on before starting my car or it might not connect the audio properly. Then, about once a week, a complete restart was needed. Haven't had to do either with the V30 yet.
V30 Bluetooth issues
I've had multiple issues with Bluetooth connectivity for a few of my devices come up recently.
For example, I'm getting delays in receiving notifications for both my smart watches, even though only one of them is active at any given time.
My Snap Spectacles was paid, but suddenly stopped transferring videos to the V30. I paired the glasses to my iPad, and videos transferred seamlessly.
The notification for WiFi Direct keeps popping up abet few minutes. Says something about running Bluetooth, wifi, and wifi direct at the same time can cause issues. Sadly, I couldn't find a toggle to turn wifi direct off. Even when I turn regular wifi off, it turns back on.
I have no issues with BT ... but, the sound issue is likely notifications.
Yup...Bluetooth Issues Here
So I finally have the LG V30. Generally a great phone. But I too have bluetooth issues. I hear static on calls made over bluetooth. Two phones, same issue. My G6 did not have this problem. When I (briefly) had the GS8 and Note8 this was not a problem. The funny thing is, when the phone is in my pocket with the screen off, there is no static. When I remove the phone from my pocket and wake the screen, the static returns. The bluetooth works fine for my podcasts and music. Weird. But reproducible. I use the BT in my car a lot (yes, I actually make phone calls on my phone )
So I was wondering if others have had any bluetooth issues.

Weird indeed. No problems here. I'm paired to a 2013 Audi, a 2013 Ford, and a 2017 Chevy, not to mention an older Plantronics earpiece. No problems -- all my calls sound normal, or even crystal clear in Verizon HD.
This is with screen on with Waze, Pandora, even Android Auto running.
No static for me either paired to a 2013 Audi with screen on and Waze running

Thanks for the responses. I can find no one else with the problem. Yet I had no issue with any other phone. I'll keep looking for a fix.
All of you guys with BT issues, do a factory reset and report back.

I did this on my first V30. A factory data reset did not resolve the problem. I am not sure if a reset will help with this one either. But I will give it another try.
I am having similar issues with the Bluetooth on the LG V30. When the phone is too close to the built in navigation screen/Radio in my vehicle, I am getting a lot of static. Only when making/receiving phone calls. When I move the phone 1 foot or more away from the center counsel of the dashboard the static goes away.
Went to the TMobile store where I bought the phone. They produced another LG V30 and connected to my vehicle's bluetooth. Same issue.
No issues when connected to music players.
Quite frustrating as I really like the phone.
I'm having BT problems. Calling is pretty much useless in my car (2015 Subaru), but music works reasonably well.
I'm getting continuous toast notifications about the phone connecting/disconnecting every 30 seconds or so, no matter what device. Very, very frustrating.

I'm wondering if you have the cheaper stereo in the 2015? It's the one with a small monochrome screen and manual knobs?
My wife has issues in her 15 WRX with that stereo and her phones. As soon as my number ports, I'll try mine with my 16 WRX. I have the premium version with the smaller non navigation stereo.

Yup, its the stock version. My S6 Edge before the v30 didn't have any issues. The calling thing is awful on the v30, it's unusable.

Same issue. My S6 never had an issue, however my new LG v30 sounds crystal clear when streaming audio but when I connect to a call, the call is distorted, broken, and static filled. I tried force stopping and clear data & caches of both bluetooth services, but nothing worked.
I also have a 2014 Subaru Outback with the stock radio.
My car is also a subaru (2012 Legacy). Issue is static in calls, however.
I have no problems with BT on my JBL headphones or my 2014 Ford Focus bluetooth but with my motorcycle bluetooth comm (Scala Freerider 1) I get playback of audio at like 75% speed with a lot of crackling and popping. No BT issues on the motorcycle comm with my Pixel C or S8.
I have the same issue. When I connect with my Bluetooth on my car the music plays but it randomly stops in the middle of the song, then starts again. It's like it loses the connection then gets it back right away. Doesn't seem to do it when I use the headphone jack.
In my case something different has happened.
The audio quality for connection inside the car gives a lot to be desired compared to the Galaxy S8 plus. I listen to the music as if it were with some bad quality or grit.
If the bluetooth has apt-x quality, it seems to me that my terminal does not hear how well this compression codec contributes, which theoretically transmits more audio data than bluetooth without apt-x.
Is there someone else who has the same thing?

Guys I'm new to the v30 I came from g4, my issue is that in my yaris 2014 I've connected the v30 but it doesn't recognize the phone, but it pairs as "unregistered" even I've tried to pair it with passcode but the phone just connects, and doesn't ask for any passcode after it connects I can play music but when I turned the car off and then on again v30 doesn't connect back, I have to unpair the car audio system to pair it again with the same problem of the unregistered device thing...
Edit:
Guys I just fix my problem downloading an app from the store that connects the Bluetooth to my car sistem, it recognizes it and connects automatically now, what I believe it is a problem with Bluetooth app from the phone itself

Bluetooth Audio Stutter/Skip

Anyone else having Bluetooth audio stutters or skips? Getting some a few times per song while using a Bowers & Wilkins PX. Very annoying Had no issues with Bluetooth on my previous Galaxy S8.
Tried deactivating Dolby Atmos and made sure any other sound enhancement was turned off.
Thanks,
Art
I get stutter on Bluetooth when a WhatsApp message comes in running poweramp.
Possible fix found. Read on a forum post for another phone which suggested clearing the cache for the Bluetooth apps. Cleared all three that I found as system apps, and it has been skip free for a day and a half.
Indoors or out? I get bad skipping outside in NYC with my Momentum 2 Wireless, worse than it was on my S7 (which wasn't great). Problems with my Sony car stereo too, it stutters and disconnects entirely, and won't reconnect automatically unless I tell the receiver to do it.
I thought it had to do with being linked to an Android Watch at the same time, so I turned off my Huawei Watch outdoors. Sounded fine on Friday, but the drops were even worse this evening.
funny i had problems on iphone 7 plus but none with this s9 yet
Factory reset didn't even fix it
I had no problems until about a week ago. I listen to music in my Honda Civic and Sony SRS-XB31 speaker every day. Occasionally on my JBL Clip 3 while riding my bike around. Last week my Sony speaker started crackling and pausing my Pandora. I switched to my JBL and had no issues and my car has worked fine. Today things were so bad I did a factory reset. Even with bluetooth turned off my Pandora was pausing up (even after restart). I've got an old S7 at home that I can use for music and has no issues on any speaker, but this is really annoying that my newer phone is useless for music now. Things still work fine in my Honda Civic, but all of my bluetooth speakers have been rendered useless because of my S9+... This may be the end of my Samsung preference if they don't hurry up with a fix. I wish they would just roll back the bluetooth update or something..

Poor Call Quality Over Bluetooth

Hi Everyone,
Have been using my J8110 with Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus which was working really well, suddenly since yesterday I'm having an issue where the sound quality becomes really poor over bluetooth whilst in a call(including whatsapp, & signal calls), crisp sound quality as before when playing media music etc however as soon as I dial a call I can hear distorted background noise and sound becomes high pitched at the same time the person on the other end can't hear me too well. It's not the galaxy buds as I tested with 2 different phones and it worked fine. Also enabled developer settings and played around with the bluetooth codec/rate etc nothing has helped Anyone had similar experiences or ideas on how it might be fixed?
