Bluetooth Music Issues - Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this query but I can't find anywhere else.
I've got a Swift 2X and I'm having real issues with the Bluetooth audio in my car. I had no issues with my previous Galaxy S5 but with the Swift the music keeps cutting in and out. I've tried most basic tests and the issue send to be completely random.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch

What way does it cut in/out? Does it pause the music or lose connection and then regain it? Also what model of car/radio.

Hi Heavy Metal Man, I think it's pausing and not losing connection. Everything Bluetooth wise works fine for calls, (Audible) audio books and Google navigation directions. The problem is when I try to listen to music from my phone, I've tried Spotify, Amazon music and Google music and the Origen is the same. And, I am when possible downloading the music to my phone and no streaming it over mobile data.
I have a 2011 DS3 with the built in original radio/Bluetooth hands free kit (not sure of the model of radio sorry).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Mitch

Hmm. What file format types are the songs? Any play better than others? It seems odd that it is only music. Have a play about with other sources and see if any play with less stuttering.

Right!
I'd like to watch movies in night but my family wants to sleep^^
So, is it possible?
get a headphone and connect it with your computer in the speaker port :|
^^^
You didn't really solve the problem.
Here's the easy way... get a small fm-transmitter. "you can pick them up for cheap"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_transmitter_(personal_device)
Plug it into your pc.
Now use the FM-Radio on your phone.
I looked for apps that might allow for bluetooth or wifi audio to be transmitted to your phone but so far nothing.
Also please post questions in the Q&A pages.

I have got headphones! But they are not long enouth!
Btw: I'm not silly. You?
I think I'll try the FM.
Thanks
You could probably use vlc to stream the movie from the computer to the phone and then wear the headphones, the phone would still play the movie but you don't have to look at it.
It would take some setting up but it could be done. I have used vlc to stream my tv-card over the network using dvschedular but it would be difficult for me to say you need to do x,y and z as everyones networks are different.
As well as getting the video/audio streamed you then have to find an app to play it...

is there really such app your looking for?
there was an app for that. I listened to music like this, but you need to have WIFI on PC.

Can I try it for free?
don't know...
Do as I do: if there is no trial, find a cracked one, try it, then BUY IT if it works! (i have bought a lot of apps and PC games this way - so piracy is not bad if you end up buying the product after you try it)
Hi,
yes there is a trail and no, it doesn't really work. The sound is 3 seconds to late.
I think my network is to slow...

It's due to the time it takes to encode, transmit and decode.
The best option you will find is the one i offered.
and a fm transmitter will be cheaper than vnc application.
ooor, there is a very fast way to remove sound from movies (split audio and video). Put audio to mobile, start movie on pc and sound on phone. That way it even conserves battery (no WIFI or net required) on phone.

That may cause audio sync problems.
It also means you have to split every movie you watch.

Low amplitude songs cut off

Hey guys. I'm currently using Spotify to play music while I am at work and whenever any of the songs lowers in volume, the sound on my phone cuts off until the song picks back up. Does anyone know a way to fix this issue? It's making listening to some of my favorite genres a not very fun experience.
Thanks, Shawn
Nobody? :\

I'm not sure i understand your question. When the song lowers in volume? Why is it lowering? What other apps have you tried playing music in. Does it do it for only streaming music or is it music saved on your sd partition? Try some of these things out and see what you find and please report back. It may be an isolated spotify problem.
By amplitude, I mean quiet moments in a song. To be specific, whenever a silent moment or very quiet moment of a classical piece, the sound will stop and only start again when the piece picks back up. It sounds like there's a barrier that mutes all sounds under a certain level. I'll try it with the built in music player and report back with those findings.
Yeah I also have this problem when running Pandora and Google Play Music. It's very irritating.

I usally stream the "Maxwell" station on Pandora which is soft R&B/Jazz station. Don't think i've ever noticed the music fade all the way out in quiet parts of the song. Check your installed mods and see if one of them have may be the culprit. if none installed i'm at a loss. sorry.
Maybe this helps....

[Q] Navigation Volume After KitKat

Ever since the KitKat update my navigation voice cannot be heard while music is playing.
Previously, Maps would pause my music and the voice would speak at full volume (or whatever volume was set).
Now, Maps does not pause the music, but instead turns it down, and the navigation voice is set to half volume. No matter how many times I turn it up, each new navigation command is once again reset to half volume, and I cannot hear it over the music that continues to play.
Is anybody else experiencing this? I've searched around a bit but all the threads on it I see are for older updates on other devices.
Is nobody else experiencing this? I've experienced it on two different HTC handsets after the KitKat update, so I'm assuming it's not limited to me, but I suppose you never know.
im not. stock unrooted on sprint. 4.4 update. use BT a lot in the car and the voice prompts stop the music player (poweramp) with no issues. volume is crisp and clear as its always been.

Thanks for that. I use Spotify for my streaming, so perhaps the issue is with Spotify. I'll download some music to the phone and try the stock music player to see.
just to clarify, poweramp is not the stock player. its 3rd party. i mainly use poweramp because it crossfades the music. :good:

Yeah I know. But my assumption was that it was related to Spotify specifically (which is what I use 99% of the time) and that if I tried the stock music player it would work fine.
I tested it last night, actually not with the stock music player, but instead with TuneIn Radio Pro. It worked perfectly, so I now know the issue is with a recent Spotify update.

No Metadata sent to receiver

Hello all, just a couple of thing that I'm having problems with and thought you guys may be able to help. I have a Sony XAV-712HD receiver in my car and use the Xperia Z3v with it and I get no song info from any app via Bluetooth connection. I tried my wife's Galaxy S4 and my friends Note 4 and both put song info up on the display immediately. Also anyone using MirrorLink, I have low sound quality and can't adjust the volume on the phone while in Mirrorlink. I know it says Bluetooth is not supported when using ML but if I use audio through the cable it only plays through my front speakers. Anything you guys can help with would be great! Thanks in advance!
So I can better help you, which music apps do you use? For example I use Google's Play Music. On a side note, have you checked Bluetooth settings while you are connected or trying too connect to see what's going on?
I just posted a reply but don't know where it went... LOL Anyway, I have checked BT settings on both devices connected and not. I use Spotify, Amazon, Walkman with music on sd card, and iHeart. I have factory reset both devices and still no go. I really wanted to like this device but the lack of data while on a call just doesn't work with my career and my boss ordered me a Note 4 that will be here in the morning. If you don't have time to mess with it don't worry about it. Just kind of wondering if anyone else was having an issue.
That's weird... Sorry I couldn't help you. Hopefully that issue works out for you. The data and call feature should be fixed along with xlte with the lollipop update which should be soon. Which could be this month or next month.
Not a problem man. Thanks for trying to help! I was told by the rep at the end of last year it would be a couple of months but it has recently become a real issue. Thanks again!
My poineer unit receives song data from every app I've tried. Walkman, Spotify(What I use most), Google play, pandora.. etc.
However, my girlfriends G3 doesn't show anything when playing via her phone.

Bluetooth playback issues

Hello all,
I'm experimenting some issues with my OPX while listening to music in Bluetooth.
I have the last update and I use Play Mauic.
1) When i am at the middle of the song and I connect for example, the song starts again on the Bluetooth device whereas on my phone it still display the middle of the song. Like 2:13/3:26 for example. It isn't a big issue but maybe it's linked to the others.
2) randomly, when a song is automatically skipped to the next one, because it has ended, again my player shows that the next song is playing whereas I can't hear anything or sometimes it stutters A LOT, like I can hear one second for each 10 seconds. To fix if I just have to click on "previous" so the song start again and it works flawlessly. This issue happens very often.
Is it a known issue? Is there a fix? I've never seen this kind of issue with other devices ao I'm sure it's because of the OPX.
Thank you.
I got the same issue. It is very annoying. You can also make the title play again by moving the progress slider a little bit back or forward. It happens also with other music players.
Someone answered on my G+ post it happens with headphone jack too. I haven't tried it tho.
I got this problem with my Sennheiser MM100 as well as on my Bose Soundlink 2.
I have also a mini sound link 2.
Buy with my cans it doesn't happen (through jack)
If it's a common problem, let's hope we'll get a fix soon.
I find it crazy that even now there is no fix. It's getting really annoying and 1+ is doing nothing, as well as for the shutters in video playback (on YouTube or Facebook). I'm definitely disappointed and thinking about selling my phone. Did anyone find a fix?
I'm using BlackPlayer, no issues with blueooth playback stutter. Issue 1) is no problem for me, I want to hear the song from start.
No random skips or stutter.

I'm sorry but I don't care the way I should use my phone, I use it as I wish and as I've always done, it's not to OnePlus to dictate me how to use my phone. It's good if you don't care but I do. I don't want to change my habits. However you didn't my problem, it's not about random skips, it just that sometimes there's no more sounds which are casted, so it's a real issue, it's not about the starting over.
Listening to music through bluetooth is just a pain, and the phone is out for months, OnePlus did nothing. That's sad.
I'm on OOS 2.1.3-x and I use Double twist player with no problem over bluetooth. So maybe the problem is Play music

I've never had your 'no more sounds which are casted' issue experince through bluetooth. Are you full stock?
Bluetooth issues
OnePlus 2 is a pretty decent phone, offering good build quality and performance for a reasonable price.
Turn the Bluetooth off and then turn it on back again.
Clear the Bluetooth cache by going to its Settings.
Restart the phone once you have cleared the cache.
Try deleting the old and unused connections and then set up the connection all over again.
Someone tryed Bluetooth playback with the newest 2.2.1 update yet?
Last week Thursday I went back from cm13 to OOS since 2.2.0x "fixed Bluetooth". Well guess what. It didn't. Still the same problem that the next song in line gets mutet after a while of playing music through Bluetooth on my MM100 or Bose Soundlink 2.
Some things I realise:
-Poweramp don't have this issues on OOS since it handles music in an other way. So this might be a workaround for people.
-Play Music or Shuttle+ don't work nice with OOS (I needed to switch songs 27 times in order to make it play again in 6h of playing. That's ridiculous)
-back on CM13 based ROM(and CM13 self) I don't have this kind of problems. Play Music works as it should (guess Shuttle too).
Would be nice to hear if the 250mb big update fixed this bug so I can go back to Stock since I kind of like it.

Hi,
Listening music on my USB/Bluetooth speaker is working like a charm but listening music on my Bluetooth car is impossible (like importing contact and calling)
