[Q] Waze issues - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I've been using Waze for a while now. Previously on my Rezound and it worked great and more recently on my S4. If I'm not using bluetooth in the car it works just fine (announcing through phone speaker). If I have it connected through bluetooth though it will always chop off the first 15 seconds or so of the audio announcements. If the announcement is long enough I'll catch the tail end, but that's it. Poweramp plays just fine. Phone calls work fine as well. I've tried forcing waze to the phone speaker but that also doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas? It's by far the best app I've found for getting me to/from work in the fastest way possible.

I LOVE Waze

But I've never used it with bluetooth. I've got my S4 jacked in to my stereo with one of those 3.5mm connectors and never have any trouble. If you have one of those in your car you might want to try that. You can grab one at wall world for $1.86 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-Mi...bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&findingMethod=p13n

[Q] Bluetooth disconnecting

I enjoy listening to my podcast's all day long. However, my bluetooth disconnects without warning nor is it predictable. The bluetooth indicator is lit blue as if is connected. Also, in settings, there is no sign of it being disconnected. The only way to get my bluetooth to reconnect is to toggle my bluetooth off and then on again.
I tried to replicate the issue at the Best Buy where i bought the phone, but had no luck getting this to happen. Best Buy replaced the phone only to find out that i still have the same issue.
I typically use Dogcatcher for podcasts. Uninstalled it and started using Stitcher. Unfortunately still getting this issue. Even went as far as buying a different brand of stereo bluetooth headset.
Any one have any ideas?
Sorry, no idea. Try posting in the Motorola Owner's Forum and see if the Moto techs can shed some light on it.
Just for reference....I use a Blueant Q1 headset and Motorola S10HD headphones and no issues with disconnects, at least with music or audiobooks.
I was actually going to post something about this but haven't got around to it. Mine disconnects all the time, I have to shut off/on and then it will reconnect. It sucks. Also, when I put my phone in my pocket when I'm on my phone I get some very crappy sounds through my BT. I mean, its like 3 ft away max, through cloth, why would that matter? Is the BT radio on this phone really that bad? Anyone else having similar issues?
I remember this happening with my first phone but I thought it was my earpiece. I have upgraded my earpiece, still doing the same thing and has gotten worse lately. But the other thing is that I can walk pretty far away 30-40 feet before she disconnects, in my house around walls and such, so I don't get it.
-DJ
I'm having the same bluetooth sound issues as you DJ, except I don't hafta have the phone in my pocket. If I put the phone to my other ear I can hear the caller thru the headset & it stutters in the bluetooth.

I'll give Moto techs a try. Otherwise, its too difficult to replicate the problem at the Sprint Store. All they do is wipe the phone and hand it back to me which is not acceptable. Especially when i explain to them that i have tried this with no improvement.
Thanks guys for your input.
This used to happen with my EVO as well so I wasn't shocked when it happens with the photon from time to time. What happens is that the media connection gets lost while the headset is still connected to the phone audio. I use a Jawbone ICON and ERA and it happens with both. I listen through my headsets all day every day so I'm pretty used to it. Usually if I un-pair and re-pair the headset it solves it for a while. Just make sure the headset says its connected to both phone and media audio.Hopefully it will be corrected through an update soon. I'm sure they have a long list of stuff to repair...
I have the same BT audio disconnects as others while I was listening to stream music, very frustrasting, I had the phone swapped due to other issue, but this still happened very randomly. Infact, as the other poster said above, BT audio disconnects also happened to my previous HTC phones(Diamond, EVO 4G & EVO 3D)as well.
im having same issue with blue parrot headset
glad to know I aint the only one with this problem, hopefully a fix is in the works
I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and my Photon practically refuses to play my visual voicemails through it. When I attempt to play a voicemail, the scrub bar runs through it in like 1 second even though the voicemail may be 2 minutes long and no sound is heard through the BT. If I then disconnect and reconnect the BT, the message(s) will play properly for a short time. So most times, I either disconnect BT to play my messages through the speakerphone or earpiece or I dial into my voicemail with my BT. Overall, it is a frustrating situation. However, I guess things could be worse.
I have a similar issue with Bluetooth for HID devices (mouse / keyboard). I have the webtop hdmi hack in place. I haven't tested this with the latest ota yet.

I have a blue ant q2, and t1 with this issue, which also manifested itself in my EVO 4G
Disconnect from car handsfree
Looks like I have same issue,if I am in my car and talking over car bluetooth build-in system it will disconnect after some time, need to toggle bluetooth button on phone screen to send it back. I never had this problem with Epic4g before. I am in battery safe mode is it possible that after awile phone think that it can shutdown bluetooth. I am rooted but using battery mode without ant 3rd party app. Also can someone post link to related Motorola tech forum described above gor Photon 4G?

I agree with this statement for sure.
After doing some searching, I found this thread.. I'm having the same issue with a photon I picked up acouple of weeks ago. I'm running stock root. Is there a fix for this, or is a custom rom a way to fix it?
Thanks

Issue with calls over bluetooth

Hey everyone,
So I usually use my cars built-in Bluetooth system for calls as well as music. Since I switched to the GSIII i have had terrible phone audio over my cars speakers. The audio will be perfectly clear for a couple seconds then fade to almost nothing for another 2, then clear again, this just keeps going on and on. I end up missing half of what was said. The music audio, however, has been perfect, better quality than my old phone even.
I never had any issues with my old Atrix, the audio was always consistent, same car and settings.
To those who managed to get the phone early like me, how has your experience been with bluetooth phone calls?
I 've been using it in the car since the past week and it has been pretty smooth for me. The audio and signal are both perfect.

Bluetooth Headset Question

I have Jaybird Freedom Sprint Bluetooth headsets that I use to workout with. I tried pairing with them on my Omate. It will pair but the sound still comes out of the speaker on the watch. Is there something I can do to fix that as the headset works great. Thanks for any help!
I have have a pair of Jaybirds, and mine did the same thing. What worked was the Omate ran out of juice and after recharging and Turing back on it has worked perfectly every since. You may also need to to set the Jaybirds as default for miix and phone calls under Bluetooth settings.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Where the heck are the bluetooth settings, not quite in your face if you know what I mean.
Yeah, so I don't see in the watch where those Bluetooth settings are to set the Jaybird up as default. Maybe you can help guide me to where that is. Not sure if it matters but it is stock. I also drained the battery but it didn't do anything. If you have a speific process maybe you could lay it out for me and see what happens. Thanks again for the help!
Go to settings. Then wireless and networks. Then Bluetooth. Select Jaybird make sure phone and media audio are selected.

I found the options and it was set as you stated above. Still didn't connect. But, I did a hard reset and tried again and it wored fine, now the issue is that when I turn the headsets on they should connect to the watch but doesnt automatically and I have to re-pair each time.
Glad you got it to work. Not sure why you have to repair each time.

I have a bluetooth problem too. My 1/8 2100 (stock firmware) Truesmart pairs with my LogiLink BT0026 headset but i can play music only within a distance of about 10cm. It disconnects on a higher range. Same with the connection to my PC. The headset connects normally to my other devices. Any ideas???

I have the earlier 1/8 US firmware. I use the Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 Bluetooth(Also sold as Plantronics under same model name and number) headset that I picked up from a garage sale today. Great Bluetooth stereo sound! I absolutely get no sound cuts when worn on my wrist(Which is 2ft away when arm extended) no matter how I move my arms. Have you tried disabling the quickboot feature in Settings >> System >> Accessibility? That feature is causing problems with wifi and bluetooth due to the firmware from what I've been told before.
Thx for your reply! :good:
I tried disabling the quickboot feature and also flashed Loki's EnSec-firmware, but the problem is still the same. :crying:
I have come to the conclusion that we can't always blame the truesmart with the bluetooth issues. I have a bluetooth audio receiver plugged into my hifi system but I can only stream to it in very close contact i.e. about 10cm maxiumum. However same setup on watch connected to my August EP60 headphones (which are amazing btw) yielded very different results. After connectin established I started music streaming and took off my watch and leaving it downstairs went for a walk round my house including upstairs. No loss of connection with several meters distance and no dropouts at all. Happy because I bought the August EP60's specifically to use with Truesmart.
:good:
Hi,
I'm listening to music from my TS through my bluetooth earphones right now... apart from the occasional split second stutter, I'm very impressed.... I can see how this would be a killer device for the gym or joggers etc, I'm so impressed im going to try and find a smaller pair than my backbeats!

Good to hear this, so i still have hope.
What's about your WiFi connection... my maximum range is 3 to 5 meters away from the router (same room, no walls between).
With my stock TrueSmart I get Bluetooth solid from 3 rooms, 32 ft min before blittiness starts. WiFi is even farther.

Bluetooth and WiFi range problem solved!
My problem is finally solved.! I removed the pin of the wristband in which the antenna is located and found that both black wires were scratched. I isolated them with a small peace of tape and now it works great for me.

Just took mine apart for the second time and found the same connector lose again, hopefully sorted properly this time. How did you get the wristband pins out, mine don't seem to have screw heads.

[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.

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
