Bluetooth audio issues - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Hello all. Just got a secondhand LG V60 a couple of days ago. Really like it so far. A few bugs early on, but the only real issue I'm having is with my Galaxy Buds+ earbuds. When I put the phone in my pocket, my audio immediately starts to get very weak and choppy and I'm not sure why. Has anyone else had similar issues with bluetooth headsets?
So far, my google research has suggested
1. changing codec to SBC
2. disabling bluetooth A2DP hardware offload
3. disabling HD audio
Anyone know if those changes might help or have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

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.

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] Choppy Bluetooth Audio Chevy MyLink

So I just purchased a 2014 Chevy Cruze 1LT with the MyLink system. I have already had my G3 for a couple of months, and it has worked flawlessly with all other Bluetooth connections including the LG Tones headphones and a Logitech bluetooth receiver for my livingroom stereo. They get great range, no skipping, and good audio quality.
The G3's audio with the MyLink system is very choppy, and it's very random. At times it plays perfectly fine, but most of the time I have to either reboot the phone, restart the stereo or BT connection, re-pair the BT, change apps in the phone (Google Play Music, Songza, stock music player), toggle inputs on the stereo (to FM Radio and back to BT Audio). Sometimes these methods work, sometimes they don't. Calls are not choppy, just the A2DP BT profile for audio streaming.
This problem does not occur on my wife's Galaxy S3 or my Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. I haven't tried any other of my older phones. I have factory reset the LG G3 (via system recovery) and tried it with nothing else installed on the device but the problem is still occurring, I have also reset the radio to factory defaults. I am rooted, but so are all of my devices and they have no issues. I have a case on my G3 but tried it with the case off. I have no wireless charging accessories that would interfere.
I am at a loss. The only solution I can think is to wait for an update to the G3 (that will probably break root) and pray it's fixed or contact MyLink support and ask them to look into it. Any thoughts?
I also have terrible audio stuttering over Bluetooth. I notice it in an audi q5, although it normally doesn't annoy me enough to put on fm radio instead. I also drive a Chevrolet camaro, and the audio stuttering makes the g3 unusable. My other devices don't have this problem.
I would love a software upgrade that fixes it.

If you have aux line in on your car stereo and you are looking to go wireless you can always try a bluetooth to stereo receiver like this one from best buy. (if you also wanna through a few bucks at it)

Bluetooth streaming over Elantra Limited with my G3 is perfect with no issues. You guys rooted or stock? Stock here.
I'm stock. I tried it tonight, and the Audi had only one or two minor stuttering issues. It occurred to me that sometimes I wear an Android Wear watch, and the stuttering is particularly bad when I do. I suppose trying to maintain two bluetooth connections at the same time would be hard.
Anyway, I'm glad streaming worked tonight, but it's been so unreliable in the past that I'm by no means certain that it's fixed.

Do you have lots of contacts? I think it has something to do with our phones sharing contacts with the mylink radio. Try unpairing and rename your device name to something else. When you connect again, say NO to allowing it to read your contacts and no to reading your messages and no to call history. Let me know if its smooth after that. I think there is something up with the phone syncing via bluetooth the contact data and messaging data.
I'm having the same issue with my 2015 VOLT, and this is the only thing that i can do for now to resolve it.
Yes! That did the trick! I denied the car's access to the addressbook and texts when I re-paired the device and has been smooth so far. Thank you! Brilliant insight!
There must not be enough virtual memory in the MyLink system for people with a large addrsssbook...
Awesome! OK so what I tried this morning was to allow the contacts but I waited maybe 10 minutes before I started any Bluetooth audio etc. Seems smooth now too. So maybe it just doesn't multi-task well?
I'm having the same problem on my Chevrolet S10 2014 mylink, but I just have the problem when running on ART mode. Mine phone is LG G3 D855 - 32Gb running V20a lollipop. On other devices run perfect. Will do the test tonight and give feedback.
Thank you!!
Edited: Did not worked to me. Same problem very bad sound quality. Look like the music play slowly. Very weird.
I have the same issue with my 2014 Cruze with MyLink and my G3. My old S3 and my girlfriend's S5 work fine. However my G3 is constantly stuttering and dropping connection when using the Pandora app. It happens when just choosing Bluetooth on the Mylink but it's not as bad. I'll try deleting/repairing without allowing contacts when I leave work.
Well as far as I know viseeousa BT works with android phones. A friend of mine have this WMA2000 and it really works well with android for bluetooth streaming, no interruptions.

Anybody having Bluetooth issues with the G5?

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?

Yeah some have had reported problems with the Bluetooth audio being garbled or the headphone jack crackling, i haven't experienced any of the issues so far, this launch has been riddled with faulty devices it seems, there is even a thread on reditt that shows stuff to check before walking out the store

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.

I had issues with my Bluetooth where it suddenly shows "Bluetooth has stopped working." and have to force close it, and it will reactivate the bluetooth. Have no idea what is causing that to happen, other than that no quality issues on my side.
I have lg hbs 730 connection is bad can't be more then 10feet away in straight line never had that issues with g4

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.

Don't know if this has to do with the phone or with the Android version, seem to have the same with the Nexus 5 (2013) on Android 6.0.1

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?

Swift Plus 2 audio recording issues

Hi, has anyone else experienced incredibly poor audio recording with the Swift 2 Plus? Mine is updated to 7.1.2 but, ever since I've had it, recording of audio, be it just audio or audio on a video recording, sounds massively uneven and underwater. I have had the phone replaced by Amazon, same issue. Contacted Wileyfox (painful), they kept it for three weeks and sent it back with a factory reset which changed nothing and am now thinking of buying a new phone just so the audio issue can be resolved.
To clarify, normal audio playback is fine (music, YouTube etc...) it's just the playback of anything recorded.
Annoyingly, I really like the phone otherwise.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or does anyone have any tips towards resolving it?
Thanks for reading.

Bluetooth Clipping / Crackeling Issue on S21 (JBL Overear Headset) (T500BT)

HI guys
Hope you all are well. Need some help and or guidence, this clipping is driving me crazy LOL
When paired up to my S21, the headset produces massive clipping and static, it only happens sometimes, but not always. I have also identified, if the headset is powered on while my XBOX controller is on and connected aswell, i cannot use the headset at all (Makes loud crackeling noises) Apart from that, i still have it happening at strange intervals, and cannot pinpoint the issue.
I at a time thought it might be my Galaxy watch 3, which i unpaired for a day or 2 to test. It went well for a few hours and started again?? I also uise a BT keyboard, BT Mouse at different intervals. Tried process of elimination, still there
I also had this with my S10e. So im not sure if its BT devices clashing with each other, or is it the BT versions clashing.
Did anyone else experience this? (I searched the web, but most of the articles are basic things like check Reception, range etc etc)
Thanks for the advice!

Hi! I know only 1 case with this problem: your bluetooth headphones are connected to several devices and do not have the Multipoint function. The conflict may be with Galaxy Watch 3, because Watch 3 has an audio profile in S21, but you wrote that you turned off Watch 3.
Thanks alot. I found the cuplrit. It was my logitec BT Keyboard. It was always on, on the background. And caused interference. Since i switched it off (When not using) I dont have the clipping anymore hehe
