Bad Static on Bluetooth - Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers

Is anyone having bad Bluetooth static/connection? I'm using premium Bluetooth headphones and tried some cheap ones with the same result. I like to stream music while working out but never has an issue with the same headphones on different devices.

Hmm not too sure why. I also use Bluetooth headphones in the gym and in my truck. No issues here

I have the exact same problem. Sometimes it skips like a bad stutter. Sometimes it would disconnect all together. I have the XA Ultra paired with Bose QC 35.

Yes, XA Ultra has seriouos problems related to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth! Listening to simple music is a challenge.
Try this: Just put your XA in a back pocket using bluetooth headphones. Music pricks! It´s unbelievable! And my bt headphones are Sony.
I replaced my XA after 2 days, but the new one has the same problems.
Sony is completelly lost how to solve this problems.
PROJECT DEFECT.

Xperia XA Ultra and MDR zx22obt
I can not believe there is no resolution to this issue yet. I am experiencing the same issue. I have my Xperia XA Ultra paired with my Sony MDR ZX220bt headphones.Everything worked as good as expected until a few days ago. I started to hear static, skipping, and loss of sync between the audio from the headphones and the video on my phone. (static and skipping also happen when listening to google music as well). I have tried resetting the headphones and also tried re-initializing them back to factory settings with no success. Please help.

Actually I found out it turned out to be my case. I had this case with metal in it and it blocked all my signals. After taking the case off, everything worked.

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. Don´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?

Sony Bluetooth Headset SBH50 display problem?

HI all, I have one of the most interesting bluetooth headsets designed by Sony and I absolutely love using it with my D6708, the Sony Xperia Z3v for Verizon. I love being able to swap out the headphones with any other ones to use with the headset for wireless listening and being able to make and receive calls even without a mic on the headphones itself.
My question is, how easily does OLED display breaks? This morning I found out my display doesn't light up anything but the headset still functions. I can listen to my music and listen to whatever channel I have on the FM radio mode. Without the display though, I can't see who's calling, what song I'm listening to, or what channel I'm listening to. I bought the device back in September of last year through ebay, so what options do I have with this?
Not the same issue but I have the same headset and it refused to turn off. No matter how many times I turned it off it just started back up again, thankfully I bought it off Amazon and had a replacement 2 days later. Not quite sure how you can solve your issue, could just be one of those things where it just stops working. I'm not too fond of the SBH50, the MW600 I had before was much more reliable and the range was superior as well as the power? of it, I use mine a lot at work and the MW600 could penetrate through walls, the SBH50 just stops working and looses connection.

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..

Unstable bluetooth

Hello Have you experience disconnection in your bluetooth especially on headset?
It this a samsung flaw?
Not here
No problems with BT on mine.
My Huawei Watch used to keep disconnecting from my phone and BT with my car stereo (a Sony) would sometimes skip or disconnect. But after clearing the boot cache, the watch issue has gone away. Not entirely sure about the stereo; it still happens but I don't know if it's the stereo or the phone.
No problems here. What headset are you using?
Developer settings, choose bluetooth "maximum connectivity" mode. It is default set to auto or highest quality. Worked for me with akg bluetooth headphones cutting out when mowing grass with phone in my pocket.

You're talking about "Bluetooth Audio LDAC Codec: Playback Quality?" That's only for LDAC transmissions, and AFAIK, AKG headphones do not support LDAC.
My issues have come back, so now my watch and car stereo keep disconnecting from the phone. I'll eventually get around to exchanging this at T-Mobile and hoping it was just the phone.

I was not aware of that. Still fixed my problem maybe just random luck then.
not happened on mine. I connect to my BOSE QC30 every day and to JBL link300 sometimes. Connection qualiy is great. even better than my original Pixel XL
I haven't had any problems, in fact, I had the same issues on my v20. I use a "car kit" for my car and it connects fast and is reliable. I've only used 2 of my sets of headphones (I have 3 others) but have never had any problems (LG Tone Pro and soundPeats q30).
I have problems with my car, every time i turn off my car, i have to paired it again.
Don't know if s software.
My s8 plus works fine.
