Hi guys. I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue I am.
In no certain frequency, when I'm playing music through my Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker from the Google Play Music app, it will sometimes skip and speed up/change pitch. It seems to happen on both WiFi and LTE. Haven't noticed it through plugged-in headphones.
I also noticed it when I had an AT&T Galaxy S4 through a Logitech Bluetooth stereo adapter and a Creative D100 Bluetooth speaker using the same app - Google Play Music.
I had both a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 and never noticed it with either device.
All my devices have had the stock roms (non-rooted), and were always up to date. My Galaxy S5 is on Verizon. I haven't tried any music through the native music player app (such an mp3 or flac) but will update when I do.
Very annoying issue, especially for a musically sensitive person such as myself! I have sent multiple bug reports through the Google reporting process, and I guess I need to figure out how to send some to Samsung. Just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issues. Didn't see any other mentions of it on XDA. My apologies if there are similar posts on here and I didn't see them. Thanks!

I would root the device & keep the stock rom and install Viper4Android, It's the best sound app/mod that I have ever used and It will let you adjust all of your bluetooth sounds.

For me It's worth rooting just so I can use Viper4Android..
I think it's the Bose device. I have the same issue with the Bose SoundLink Mini. Completely different phone than you. Droid Turbo. Never happens with any other Bluetooth headphones or with my car. It's very annoying. Any slight interruption in the audio stream to the Bose, and the music's pitch goes up like a quarter step. No it doesn't happen on any other Bluetooth device I have nor does it do it on the phones speaker or plugged headphones.
Apparently many people are having this issue with Bose SoundLink and similar devices. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=69397
I got a Bose Color SoundLink for Christmas, playing a station on TuneIn...after a little while there's a slight pause and the music starts up again at a faster speed! I was wondering if anyone else was hearing this and now I see its other Bose owners. Same thing happened with YouTube.
I have a rooted Note 3 running KitKat. Not upgrading to Lollipop.
Never happens if I use my LG BT earbuds or BT to my other little portable speakers.

I recently got me a "Miccus BluBridge BBMR-02" bluetooth receiver to listen to music in the car. I noticed that music sounds a bit distorted. Kinda like if you use AUX input and make it too loud. If I lower the volume it doesn't help.
Now my friend with his iphone 4 connected to the same bluetooth adapter and his music is crystal-clear
I've tried few different roms (CM, stock, Redemption, etc) but they all have this issue. Is it a known issue or it's just my phone?
so your saying you need compression? Have you tried a rom that has DSPManager installed. That app does amazing things.

I've noticed on all of the ROMs that I've installed...with the exception of the Desire HD port...that if I launch whatever music app I'm going to use before the bluetooth headset is paired, I get a choppy audio.
Also, on many of the ROMs out there...there's an audio problem that has been described as "devil's voice." It has to do with how audio is processed in Froyo versus how it was done in the past..."stagefright" I think it's called. Most ROM chefs have a fix for it.
I've noticed a loud thumping sound, same loudness as whatever I'm listening to, while using headphones or plugged into the auxiliary input in my car. It happens whenever I do an action like exit or open an app, or when an audio track ends or starts, example being whenever tracks change in Play Music.
Verizon is sending me a replacement phone, so I'll post if I notice it on the next one or not.
Same on T-Mobile version
It happens on my car aux input. Every time I hit play on a song, there is an audible thump before the music starts
This happens to me as well on my VZW G2. Mainly when its plugged into my car and I change tracks.
It happens to me too

New phone is still doing it, but not as bad. Most pronounced in Play Music.
No problem here with headphones or usb aux in Pioneer head. VZW Variant.

I know its not the car's aux input (via headphone jack) as 2 other phones work fine in the same car.
No clue. The two and only things relating to audio I have modded is increasing gain to 65 and removing the headphone notification. Doubt the latter makes a dif. I have used the tone 730 bts, 4 dif sets of plug headphones (one had separate jack for Mic), two dif USB wires for aux through mpt on Pioneer head unit, and one headphone to headphone aux input on Pioneer unit. I get crisp clean audio, no thump.
I've noticed mine does it in the car but when I connect to a Bluetooth speaker or use headphones it doesn't

ok, I've narrowed it down to only happening to me on Google Play Music on the current phone. I have someone from google working on the issue with me now. Did try a different aux/headphone cable, no difference.

Discovered another app that does it, Stitcher. Same behavior, whenever a podcast is started/stopped. Google punted the issue saying its hardware. I opened a case with LG support and they said they are already aware of the problem and are working on a solution to be included in a future update.
Mine does it even on bluetooth. Tested with a jbl charge and a jambox mini.

So I love this phone! But coming from the nexus 4 with kitkat which i thought had amazing bluetooth streaming quality to this phone which sounds horrible. Is there any way to improve it? I use my phone to listen to music in my car.
Hmmm, not sure exactly what issues you're having.
I have a Sprint LG G2 and at work we have the little Bose Bluetooth speaker thingy (cost $200) and I'm usually streaming Pandora and Songza my entire shift and it's spot on. Never disconnects or stutters, sound quality is amazing, etc.

I have Lg tone + headphones and they sound good... But the quality in the car isnt as good as other phones i have owned. The highs have a very annoying crackle.And the bass doesn't hit as smoothly as others either.
My 10-yr-old car has a Bose system with an added-on aux-input (via sat-radio input of the stereo).
Over the yrs, I played my MP3s via an Archos, ZuneHD, Creative, Tomtom ... and now with the G2 thru a new
Belkin bluetooth adapter (thru same aux-input). The sound quality is still awesome ... in fact, I think it sounds
even better with the help of the equalizer from my music app.
Anyone else having horrible quality (static, brief silences) when connected to Bluetooth? Also it seems like if the screen is off and the song switches, the data doesn't get transmitted. I've tried several music apps and all the same so I'm assuming it's a firmware issue. Rebooting the phone, unpairing, adjusting equalizer for sound quality. Nothing.

No problem here, no disruptions, or Bluetooth range problems unlike note 2 that I had before. In the action memo, do you have a pin symbol, to pin memos to desktop? I saw it in numerous reviews but it is absent on my n910c
My Bluetooth keeps unpairing after I pair it. When I get back in car it says pairing failed.

No problems or quality issues with car bluetooth here.
Yes, I have exactly the same issue. SM-910U, no root, Spark NZ version with pretty much everything default.
I can't get a reliable Bluetooth A2DP connection to my car stereo (and it worked perfectly with my S4)... It will work mostly, but experiences lots of dropouts. Range isn't an issue - it happens even when being held 10cm away from the head unit. It also happens in or out of the case, and either being charged or on battery.

On my G6, I have really terrible audio quality over Bluetooth connections, I've had two separate G6s, of different colors, received weeks apart, and they both suck for Bluetooth audio, especially my Sony car stereo, and LG Tone Free... can anybody else report on their experience? Does your LS993 sound awful on your Bluetooth devices?
Have a fairly new G6 bluetooth og Bose earpiece working very well, also on 2010 F150 pick up and 2012 Buick no audio issues. Audio has been fine so far.
Mine also is pretty poor. The volume level is about half the level of the satellite radio or fm stations in my car
Hello all.
I had G2 in the past and I use to listen music in my car, using Bluetooth connection to Pioneer head unit. I have Spotify premium account and I have my Playlist downloaded with the best quality. However once I got G6 a week ago I noticed that audio quality from the g6 with the same songs, same Playlist, same Spotify account, is not as good as it was with g2. So I did a short research and found a thread in the net where people reported the same problem.
A guy from the thread suggested to disconnect all other Bluetooth devices from the phone (like smart watch or band) and actually that solved my problem. I have MiBand2. Once I disconnected it the audio quality became as good as before.
So guys, if you have a smart watch, try to remove it and check the quality again. I hope that helps.
I went a couple of months with no issues on my Kia Optima, then suddenly, I started getting really bad aliasing on the highs. As said above, I turned off my Huwaei watch and the sound was normal again. After a bit, I turned my watch back on, and it remained fine.
I had it happen once again many weeks later; and again, a quick off - wait - on, cycle with the watch fixed it. So whatever it is, seems to be a bandwith allocation issue with the bluetooth software. From March '17 thorugh almost Sept '17 and I've only had to do this twice? I think I can live with this.
Hey heres something for you to try..
Download WiFi Scanner from App Store.. Look at your 2.4ghz networks.. then keep in mind your cordless phones, IP Cams, Walkie Talkies, baby monitors in your area.. You may be a victim of signal interference.
Bluetooth operates on the 2.4ghz spectrum along with a TON of other devices now available.
Your sony stereo may be the culprit.. if is an aftermarket "Xplod" deck
Im an audiophile, and my G6 runs better than my Samsungs.. (also no issues with the "preventative volume warning"
What you also may have is an app that is causing the volume to lower...
For example.. when i stream the music player with the stock app, sometimes Snapchat notification sounds cause the rest of the volume to be lower..
Google Maps is another one that can hijack the sound but you can control in settings.
For using music try a different app ( i use Maple Player) and it works great ..
Based on your experiences i think its something outside causing the problem to be honest. but thats ALOT of trial and error to deal with.. if worse comes to worse- you can always get an aux jack bluetooth adapter for your car stereo if it IS the stereos bluetooth receiver .
