If you stream any audio, pocketcasts, i heartradio etc. to a BT Speaker device after about 20-30 minutes (random times) the sound becomes skippy/distorted and you need to either turn on the screen and it's ok for another 20-30 or it happens again quicker. If not paired with BT speaker, it doesn't happen. But it's not the BT speaker, because i can use other android devices with the same exact apps and it doesn't have the problem.
I wish this would get resolved. Initially i thought it was greenify but i removed it but the same occurred and this with the battery at 100%.
If there is anything that can be done, please advise, i will try to assist in troubleshooting.
one more important piece of info. Tablet reboots itself if i leave it alone with the distorted/skippy issue. There is some type of error going on.

I'm curious if I'm the only one... I use Jabra A2DP headphones at work. When I walk away from my desk, I usually take my phone with me. When I come back to my desk, one of these things happens (I can't predict which one will happen, either):
1) Phone and headphones pair right up and it starts working (very very rare)
2) Nothing happens until I power off/on the headphones
3) It says connected, but no audio to headphones until I power them off/on
4) It says connected, but plays music out phone speaker (very very annoying)
5) For no apparent reason it may pop up voice dialer, and I'll say G*DD*MN*TWTF.. and then it tries to call someone.
I've had this problem with stock ROM/kernel, and every ROM/kernel combo I've tried. Right now I'm running EViO2-1.7.7. I think this could be an issue with the Jabra headphones, and if that's the case, I have no problem buying new headphones.. I just don't want to spend money unless I know it'll fix my problems. If you can confirm that you do or don't have the problem, please let me know what ROM/kernel you're running and what brand/model of headphones you have. Thanks!
About a month ago I started having an issue where my audio cut out after a few minutes. I found that twisting the device would cause it to return, but pause the media. After the audio cuts out trying to raise the volume brings up the "loud audio is bad for hearing" message, so combined with the media pausing issue I concluded somehow the device thinks headphones are being connected. That's when the madness began.
First, I took off the back cover to see if that was part of the issue, audio continued to cut out.
Then I removed the usb port/headphone jack. The issue continues.
I removed the battery and main board, found no issues, put it back together and the issue continues.
I removed the pogo pins in case something crazy there was going on, but that did nothing.
I formated system/data/cache and reinstalled CM, and the issue continues.
The crazy thing is, bluetooth audio works fine, even though if you connect a headset, it takes precedence and cuts out the audio.
Any suggestions on how to fix this are welcome. Thank you
TL;DR I LOVE my phone, these Bluetooth issues are going to make me smash it into a million pieces. Any custom rom's or fixes for the OEM rom that FIXES them once and for all? I had NONE of these issues on Android 5 on my old phone. A factory fresh phone with no added apps is STILL unstable.
Long read:
I pre-ordered the 6P and have had a mixed relationship with it the past 6 months, the thing pissing me off most is the Bluetooth on this thing.
I DID install MHC19I and it did not help, with anything.
Here's what's happening.
#1 I have a Moto 360 watch that drops bluetooth connection and when it restores, google voice search on the watch remains broken until I restart the phone. This was not an issue on my old phone.
#2 I also am having hell with headsets/speakers. I will be listening to a speaker, get a call, and the damn music doesn't pause and starts playing over the headset AFTER I answer the call, this isn't everytime, but it happens enough to piss me off.
#3 When I hang up the call, the sound does not always go back to the speaker, it says it is, but I hear nothing OR it says it is, and I hear the music coming from the phone. Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify. I have to go into bluetooth settings and force a reconnect. This is happening in my Car, in my house with my Yamaha BT receiver, with a Logitech BT adapter, and a jbl bluetooth speaker.
#4 Sometimes when I first reconnect to the speaker after being out of range, the sound stays at the phone even though it says the speaker is connected.
#5 Just can not keep a stable connection with my 2016 Acadia. The phone has locked up on multiple occasions when either making or receiving phone calls through the car. "Phone has stopped" or something like that.
I upgraded to Android N in an attempt to improve my situation in the least and I don't know what I expected. It's way worse.
Compound all the issues above with:
#1 Delayed notifications to my watch (it starts vibrating to notify me of a call AFTER my ringer has already been ringing 30 seconds)
#2 "mute phone calls on the phone" when connected to watch is broken (The ringer goes off no matter how many times I flip the setting on and off)
#3 It stops broadcasting the playing song information to the display via bluetooth to my car or receiver FREQUENTLY
#4 Answering a phone call via bluetooth occasionally locks up requiring a disconnection from the headset and then I can proceed with the call on the phone.
#5 It either doesn't send the audio to the headset and/or the bluetooth and watch controls lock up (can't change song or control volume, but the music continues playing fine.)
#6 The BIGGEST issue was my 2013, and now my 2016 GMC Acadia. I am going to crash it one of these days with all the dicking around I am doing with the phone when trying to listen to music or take a phone call.
Anyone? I am seriously contemplating giving up EVERYTHING I like about android and getting an iPhone JUST because of these Bluetooth issues (which DO NOT exist on the iPhone 6s).
I solved all my bluetooth issues by turning bluetooth volume all the way up, then turning it down 4 steps from full volume. No drop outs or disconnects from anything since!
I think you must have a defective phone. I have zero problems with Bluetooth on the 6p and I have 10+ Bluetooth devices I use at least 3 of them daily.
Sorry you're having trouble...
I completely factory reset my phone. NO third party apps. Running MHC19I. Music has been fine all day, phone calls are still a problem.
I dial a number, it say's dialing, but I never hear it ringing in my headset. Then the caller picks up and the call timer starts counting. I can clearly see it says it's sending audio via bluetooth and I hear NOTHING. Same on my car shows it's being sent to the radio, but the radio never get's the clue. It works when it wants too, and a restart of the phone always fixes it when it isn't working. It's very frustrating.
I think u might have a defective device BC I'm not experience any of these with my Bluetooth headset. And I'm Stock on MHC19i also .. Sorry u having these bad experiences.

I see this device has a buttload of issues with Bluetooth....And have tried clearing the cache in Bluetooth...But would love to fix this totally garbage issue of the Bluetooth totally turning off, forcing me to re-enable it to connect again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ☺
Any luck with this? I'm stock and noticed mine started turning off about two weeks ago. I'm assuming some app I installed is causing it but not sure which one.
Not turning off however I am having issues with auto-reconnect on my BT headphones (JBL Everest 700). When I turn the headphones on they never auto connect to BT, I always have to go in and select them and only then will they connect.
Also other BT weirdness: Music plays with no sound although BT still connected. Not sure how I managed to do this as its happened a few times. I think leaving the music paused too long does it. Maybe the headphones stay connected but go to sleep...not sure. Anyway to get sound again one must close the music app, turn off BT device and switch off-on the BT on the phone...
I am having a weird issue that I've never encountered before. I have a bluetooth earpiece (an MPOW one from Amazon). If, while listening to podcasts (or music or anything else) through it I disconnect from Wifi, the audio drops from the earpiece and keeps playing from the phone's speaker. I then have to turn off my earpiece and turn it back on again to get the audio to route through the earpiece. It doesn't disconnect (still shows as connected) when this happens...it just stops playing though the earpiece.
I've tried forgetting and repairing the bluetooth device. I've tried rebooting. I've tried clearing the data for the Bluetooth Sharing application...none of it has fixed the problem. If I turn my wifi off, this doesn't happen....
Any help?
Bluetooth is 2.45Ghz, actually 2400Mhz to 2483.5 MHz including guard bands 2 MHz wide at the bottom end and 3.5 MHz wide at the top...
"2.4Ghz" 802.11 WiFi is 2401Mhz to 2495Mhz...
See the problem here? Your issue is not uncommon... reconfigure your router to a different channel or use a 5Ghz WiFi connection and your situation should improve.
This varies by device, and even varies between identical devices, and depends on the environment and situation at the time. My device may have no issues with my BT headset and your does, it actually isn't that unusual.

I'm having the same issues. The wifi interference is not the issue. It's been happening to me playing offline materials on Google Play (podcast) and Amazon Music apps It's auto dropping when connected to my car, headphones etc. I wonder if it has something to do with my Pebble smart/dumb watch.? I'm going to try and disconnect that and reconnect it. It was a pain in the Arse the first time. Let me know if you ever figured anything else out. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of traffic on this subject. It's gotta be something obscure. :cyclops:
I finally just did a system reset on my phone and it has fixed the problem. I wonder if it was an app I had installed that was causing the issue....I'm not really sure though.
I'm having the same issue - bluetooth disconnects whenever Wifi disconnects. Anyone figure out what's causing this?
Same issue here too. Mine says it is still connected, but starts playing through the phone speaker. It just happened on a second item, so it's the phone end.
I suspect a rogue app.... Moto G5 Plus

This was driving me crazy too the last few weeks. Cache Cleaner seems to have fixed it.
Mine has been giving me the exact same issues!!! It is driving me crazy!
Tried clearing cache...didn't help. I can't get my wifi to stay connected for the life of me! I'll connect, and it'll die within 5-10 minutes, and won't reconnect until I manually reconnect. This is getting really annoying! Any suggestions?
Cache cleaner turned out to be a temporary fix only. I think I have finally fixed it, but the bad news is I can't really tell anyone what I did. I just went through and either uninstalled or froze all the apps I rarely use including several Motorola apps and it appears to be working now. So if it continues to work, it was a rogue app...just don't know which one.
