I looked and didn't see anything about this, so forgive me if it's been posted already.
I noticed, like a lot of people, the annoying humming that this phone makes when you listen to music (for me most apparent when I have it hooked to my car stereo) but I was listening to music with a portable speaker, speaker connected to my LAPTOP (not the phone), and I moved the phone close to where the 3.5mm plugs into the laptop, and I heard the same buzzing sound. 0__0 ... So I think the humming is coming from some one of the wireless radios.. not sure which one, but after a few seconds, it wouldn't hum anymore, which means the radio must have shut off...
Again, forgive me if this is already known information, but if it isn't ... this may help some people, maybe the GPS radio causes the noise?? or Wifi??

yeah its the 4G LTE radio. it makes your speakers make weird crazy signal noises when it's too close, too, just like the old GSM flip phones did back in the day

Yep found that out on day one. Switch to wi-fi or turn off data and all will be well. If you're streaming in the car, I barely notice it with the music turned up. Droid Charge didn't have this problem, but it also didn't have an amplified headphone jack. I had to turn my car radio up way higher than my iPod with that phone, not the case with this one.

You've got to be kidding me... That is nuts, and that buzzing drives me absolutely CRAZY! I noticed something that with my Beats over ears, every time I touched the screen the buzzing would start, couple seconds it would go away. I put the phone into airplane mode and presto, all the buzzing was gone! Verizon HAS to do something about this, it makes the headphone jack virtual unusable!
HTC Is Aware Now
So after getting my second device from Verizon with the same issue I was finally transfered over to HTC. After an hour conversation and then some back and forth emails HTC is now aware! Very exciting as this issue has been bugging me for a while. They have now replicated the issue and are going to begin work on a fix!
Email From HTC said:
Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, it did not take me long to test the issue and replicate it with my personal device. I use in-ear ear buds and will be forwarding this to our corporate office in the morning so that we may complete some additional testing on the team and hopefully find a permanent resolution. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.

Anyone try a Ferrite Split Core? Not sure if it would help but if you have one sitting around it would be worth a try. Just wrap your audio cable through it a few times, worth a shot. Maybe two one at each end. See attached image.
I've run into this myself, however.....the humming does go away on it's own after a few seconds even when I'm downloading a large file over LTE....that tells me that while it still may be a hardware issue, they likely have filters in place that the software isn't triggering in a timely fashion. So it's possible it could be fixed in software.

If you're using expensive IEMs, why are you driving them with the built-in amp? You need to use an external amp and use a player like Neutron MP to line-out to it.

Thank you! I have considered picking up an external USB DAC. Can you confirm that the stock ROM will support it, and are there compatibility concerns with specific DACs? I'm not an audio engineer any more, so I can't justify spending much...

The E17 is a great USB DAC, if that's too expensive, the E7 is a good alternative. You can use an OTG cable and do USB audio, or line out using Neutron. :good:

It's not the LTE radio causing it. LTE does not use TDMA (time division multiple access, as opposed to CDMA) as in traditional GSM. It uses a different form of signal transmission called OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) which is continuous transmission like CDMA, which does not make speakers buzz. Most of the cause of this is the circuit being closely tuned with the flow of power in and out of the battery. If you plug in the phone to charge while using the headphone jack, it should be even louder and more apparent.
A quick fix for this is to put whatever you're using through a noise filter. This one is only $10 on amazon and is better for those listening through speakers rather than headphones. As for me, I don't really hear it much on my phone unless its plugged in, in which this little filter fixes the issue.

Coincidence? I've never gotten any buzz, and I'm always on 4G.
Not happening here on stock. I use headset for about 3 hours a day. Best sound yet and i'm a picky listener with only high quality headsets. My Bose OE2 would have picked up any noise.
a little off topic... I havent tried to replicate this on my DNA yet but my iPhone 5 and everyone iPhone I've had since '07 (I've had them all) have this buzzing noise in the car when I have them playing through the aux jack AND charging simultaneously. when I unplug the charger, noise is gone...
So I've had my G5 less than a week now and really like the phone. But I'm starting to notice some Bluetooth issues. I have an unreasonable number of Bluetooth earpieces and headsets, and have started noticing problems with all of them with the new phone. From very poor sound quality to the connection being dropped while the phone is in my hand or my pocket. I've had the headsets a long time, the phone is the new variable in the equation. And I'm having some degree of trouble with all my headsets, which leads me to believe there's a phone issue. Anybody else experiencing anything like this? Not sure if it might be a defective phone, or if it's a G5 problem. Anybody?
I don't have any of those issues, sound quality shouldn't be the bluetooth issue.
The only issue I have is the range. covering the phone with a hand in a pocket might make the headphones stutter.
Some people are experiencing those types of issues if a factory reset doesn't solve it i suggest you get it exchanged for a new one i for one am not experiencing any of the launch issues

Perhaps "sound quality" was a poor choice of words on my part. I start getting a garbled 'sproingey' (sorry, don't know how to explain it better) condition, where I actually had to take it off Bluetooth, as I couldn't carry on a conversation. Never had any such problems with my G2 with same headsets, so this is all new. I hate to think I need to do a hard reset on a phone I've had less than a week to resolve such a problem. I hope being a relatively early adopter hasn't set me up for a pack of teething problems. So you say others have been experiencing similar problems?

That's what I like to call a good sign of a bad sign.
I have the problem, that sometimes/often the when the phone connects to my crar radio, it only connects as phone and is not able to stream music. When I disconnect and connect again, everythings fine.
Strange
The issue I'm having is with my Tracks AIR headphones. I have to unpair them and repair them every time I connect them. And usually every three or four days I have to reboot my Moto 360 to get it to reconnect to my G5. Did not have any of these problems on my s6e. It's a pain in the ass more than anything, not enough for me to take the phone back.
I have an ATT G5 from launch day... My jaybird ear buds work just fine and quality is good, and it pairs with my LG sound bar and woofer in my living room with no problems. My sons small Mossy oak BT speaker pairs and sounds just fine also.
Now beyond that I can't comment. I haven't used my ear buds on a call yet bc I don't like talking through them in general lol.

LG G5 Bluetooh Issues
My issues are likely the receiver, as my LG G5 will connect to my Nissan Versa Bluetooth (phone only) without issues.
I have a USB Bluetooth dongle with a 3.5mm jack to my Versa AUX jack. My LG G5 will always connect to the USB BT device automatically, just no audio at all. If I have music playing when I attempt to connect, the phone goes silent, but the audio does not get sent over to the BT receiver. So, I must go into Bluetooth settings, disconnect then reconnect that device. This happens every time, and the re-connect method always solves the audio issue.
PITA, but I'm going to purchase another receiver and see if that solves my issues.

Any difference with BT if wifi is on vs off ?
made me think of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/wifi-cuts-bluetooth-t3362158
I can't answer that, but it's a moot point now. I took the phone back and had them replace it. No problems so far with the new one, although it's not been thoroughly tested yet with all three of my BT headsets. But so far, so good.
Bluetooth is ok about connection here but not the sound (BOSE Soundlink Soundspeaker). Sometimes, the sound is like leveling up or such... hard to explain, it goes higher (not volume but the notes are higher) and it's very annoying. That's not the first phone who is doing that but my last phone (Xperia Z3 Compact) didn't have this issue at all.
I think I'm having the exact same issues as many here, LG G5 (LG-H3831, only diff I see is the Canadian has lot's of frequencies for LTE-A)
I have a 2008 Versa, Hands Free connects, every time I start the car.
I have a bluetooth dongle for my audio, it connects EVERY time, but I start the car, but no audio. I 'must' always go into Bluetooth settings, disconnect, and reconnect, and press PLAY immediately, else if I wait too long, audio Apps will 'play', just no sound, not on phone, not on Blue-tooth.
This is really irritating, as I have 3 different blue-tooth devices, and all three are the same. If I don't press play/get any audio going right away it'll it'll connect, but no audio until do the disconnect/re-connect. PITA
My issue is phone call volume is so low...

I have a problem with the BT phone audio momentarily being dropped while on a call with my car built in BT. I will lose the call audio and the radio (which shuts off during a call) will come back for 5 or 10 seconds. The call does not drop and the call audio comes back afterward.
I really like the G5. Yesterday was my last day with the Tmo "buyers remorse" so I am having them send me another one. I hate to switch it out because I have none of the build problems some are reporting- no light bleed, audio and audio jack are good, good alignment of phone body with module.
Anyone else have this issue?
I'm using the tmobile v20 and noticed this morning that my DAC wasn't impacting the sound quality of Google Play Music at ALL. I have been using a v10 for the past year and I could tell that the DAC wasn't working, or it was broken, because my non-DAC listening on the v20 paled in comparison to the v10 with DAC on.
I went ahead and installed the DAC Fix for V10 and it seems to have fixed my issue. In case any of you aren't noticing the DAC working on streaming apps, try this. So far I've had no issues.

Thanks to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4723056
Funny, listening to Google Play Music with my leftover Note 7 earbuds I hear a distinct difference when I toggle the HI-FI on and off. I tried installing the V10 fix app and can hear no difference enabling or disabling it. I did see that the settings for Hi-Fi say "The sound has been automatically adjusted to the connected audio device". Could the type of headphones/earbuds determine if it engages?
T-Mobile edition of the V20.
I also hear a big difference on my T-Mobile unit. I'm using a set of Skullcandy earphones, and toggling off/on is immediately noticeable.
I ended up testing some more...I turned off the DAC fix, yet the toggle still worked. So I uninstalled the DAC fix completely and the toggle STILL works. I guess my unit was stuck in the "off" position for some reason, but it's working fine now. Weird. Sounds so much better with the DAC on.
The DAC fix makes no difference on my V10. Once the dolby atmos is turned on and Viper, the sound quality is superior. My V20 is arriving today and I'm sure with my 1More earphones and that 32bit DAC my ears will cry for mercy.
I wasn't able to replicate your problem, but I must say... This audio quality is far superior than any other phone I've ever used, finally something deserving to be used with Denon Urban Raver's.
Soooo is the DAC fix only for streaming apps such as Google play?
This is my main source of music...
Im comparing the headphone DAC on the s7 and the v20 and they almost sound the same, Im activating and turning off the Hi FI on the v20. Im using an audio technika m50x. Should i donwload the app to fix the dac? im using a video from youtube to do the testing. going to use google music songs that i have download to see if there is a difference.

It is quite noticeable on every music app I've used. The best way I would say is just listen to some music you like. I wouldn't know how to fix it, mine works perfectly. Try a factory reset?
Edit: I just moved from the S7 edge, and the difference is quite clear. I even think it's much better without the hi-fi turned on, but with it on it's significantly better too.

I figured out a very easy way to tell. If your phone doesn't mute music for 1/2 a second when you turn it on, it isn't turning on. It should have a 1/2 second mute when enabling or disabling.
It does. So i imagine is better in the clarity or something. Because it doesnt sound louder than the s7.

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.

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.

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
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.
