i use mine with bluetooth and my alpine deck in my car. i have viper audio and the sound beats my older setup with an iphone 5 wired into the deck via usb hands down which completely shocked me. different setups will certainly give different results. i was not only happy but shocked that it was actually an improvement for me. it sounded almost identical with viper audio deactivated which was still good but man do those viper audio adjustments make a difference

Just wanted to state for those that dont know. Bluetooth up until 4.3 has sucked since 4.2 this is 4.2.2

Yeah, going from 4.3 (on GS3 custom ROM) to 4.2 is a bit of a pain with Bluetooth. It isn't the phone hardware or LG software, it's Android.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
This.

My G2 seems to connect a whole lot faster if I refuse to let the head unit download the phonebook (YMMV, this is on the stock head unit in my Infiniti). However, the Pause button does not work reliably. Which is a problem because automatic-pause-on-disconnect never worked well in my car with Slacker to begin with. So I need to be manually pause the music before shutting the car off, or else it pauses then starts playing over the phone speaker.

But aside from the wonky pause button, the rest of everything seems to work just fine. Hopefully once development really gets going Ill at least get my pause button back. 4.3 on my Gnex, bluetooth worked about the same but there was some bug that caused the phone to soft reboot when it connected back to the head unit again, so 4.2.X is at least more stable in that case.

I am having an issue with bluetooth, maybe someone can help. I have a 2013 ford f150, sound is fine over bluetooth but when the songs change it shows the name of the song and artist for about 2 seconds then changes to unkown. If I press pause, song and artist show up but go back to unkown as soon as I press play. I use unlimited play google music. If I interact with google music at all, the song info will show up and stay until the next song...like if I press the thumbs up button the info will stay until the song changes. I really don't understand what is going on, can anyone help??

Same, problems as above with my G2 and car stereo. My Razr M had no problems with Pandora, and was running Android 4.2.2 stock.

Pandora is not launched by the car deck (Kenwood X996), nor will it use Pandora as a source input. It will however play the audio over bluetooth, but still not display information except when paused.

Sound quality is fair, then of course its average for what bluetooth is capable of.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] easyguy:
In my experience with other phones that if you use a rom that is not base on the original rom, bluetooth connectivity really sucks. But if you use a rom that is just a mod of the original, the connection is stable and reliable. Before blaming the phone hardware, look at what software you are running. You want stable sound and connection, go back to stock.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCred:
Bluetooth audio on my Optimus G Pro is insultingly bad- and, no, it is not true that all pre-4.3 jellybean Bluetooth is universally bad. It sounds over-compressed and too "hot" at any volume. I suspect this may be due to LG implementing 4.0/LE on Android builds that don't natively support it.

However, I suspect audio-specific signal weakness/compression to be a more likely culprit, as performance (call and media) is equally disappointing using my Plantronics Voyager HD. The 1st gen. Nexus 7 delivers plenty of disappointment from the 3.5mm jack, but the Bluetooth -across all versions of jellybean- is remarkably better than my OGP.

Alternatively, bluetooth tethering my OGP's LTE to my Nexus 7 is as rock-solid one could expect, consistently delivering bandwidth and range at the ceiling imposed by Bluetooth capability, itself.

Lastly... LG's build.prop for the G Pro contains numerous "false" and "0" flags pertaining to audio for both Qualcomm and Android native audio capabilities. This explains why there is no EQ available in "Play" music app, among others. Further scrutiny likely provides the problem and fix for BT- but Bluetooth parameters are also the one thing I've zero experience editing.

Hope someone can run with this, as the fix for your G2s is likely the fix for my phone too.

Hello,

I was like you a few days ago, having a really poor audio quality when listening through Bluetooth A2DP in my car.

I found this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2479892

I tried to activate the mod which is still enabled today.

This same day, when I got in my car, I did an additional operation on my bluetooth connection (phone to car audio system): once connected, I disabled A2DP (leaving only phone audio checked on the connection detail) then re-enabled it.

Since that, the quality and audio is far better :victory:

Hope this helps.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanQui:
I had a terrible experience listen to music with my Sony MDR-10r bluetooth headphones, which have the AptX certification. The audio sounded bad, some hissing/crackling on certain frequencies, comperable with a poorly compressed mp3 file. Since I had just bought the headphones I returned them because I could not use them as intended with the phone. Same problem goes for when I'm connected to my Logitech UE boombox bluetooth speaker.

At least it never had any connection issues.

Maybe its a software thing. I am going to flash to Cyanogenmod maybe it will be better.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dParis:
Bluetooth works fine for the most part. No connection issues. Stock, unrooted. Question though; When I play music through Slacker, the sound and volume response are great, but I get no on-screen information (2013 Toyota). When I play my music (mostly mp3) through the stock player, I get time and artist info, but I have to raise the volume considerably to reach the same level as Slacker. Overall fidelity seems a little less as well. Is it just a matter of the source file?

The media audio in my Mazda 3 using the car's Bluetooth is meh, but I just bought a Sony BM10 (Supports apt-x) from Macmall for $44.99, plugged it into the Aux (It all hides inside the center armrest console), and its phenomenal! I can't even increase the volume past 15/60 or it's way too loud. Anyway, this coupled with using the car's stock BT for calls is a perfect combo imo.

I too was having the issue with the hiss when coupled to the bluetooth adapter in my car. I tried the aptx fix and it did help a little. This was on both the rooted stock and debloated version. I have since switched to CM 11 and the hiss is gone. It seems to be LG's implementation of bluetooth that is the culprit.

I have the VS980 and having this issue with my 2013 BMW 750i. First time I connected, used pandora, first song would play fine, when the next song came on it would go silent. If I pushed pause and play again, the song will start playing again until the next song. After a few days, I began noticing the audio quality or volume go down. Took the car into the dealership, they flashed the latest firmware, still same thing. Now, the bluetooth sometimes wont connect at all, unless I unpair and pair again.

In my Infiniti Q50, everything plays flawlessly.

I just flashed to KK 4.4.2 and turned on APTX, hopefully this will fix the issue.

Hey guys,

I have a similar issue to the ones mentioned in this thread.

I have a LG G Pro2 phone (F350 D838) and the first time I noticed the issue was when using it with my Audi. I recently installed the original Audio Music Interface for the MMI 2G system in my car, and connected to it a Viseeo Tune2Air bluetooth adapter. The adapter connects well to the LG (cannot connect to my brothers HTC One M8), but the sound quality was just awful. Artifacts in the sound, sharp noises, on both mp3s from the device and youtube videos. If the phone is connected directly to the AMI via micro Usb cable, all music plays fine. I blamed the Viseeo, but today I tested it with an iPhone 4 and it worked flawlessly. Sound quality was great on the same Youtube videos I tested with the LG.

So the logic says, the phones bluetooth is the problem. At the same time the phone is connected to the Audi's bluetooth phone system (a separate one) and there are no sound issues there.

Then to be sure I connected my Sony DR-BTN200 bluetooth head set to the phone and tested the sound quality. The same issue as in the Audi... So is there some audio options for the bluetooth, update or a known fix. Or even a third party solution or I need to try and get a replacement phone?

I've tested the audio and I don't think there was any difference.

I still may not have been able to properly use ADB (as I tried to run MoreLocate2, too, but with no success :)).

In any case, the device should be working properly on A2DP. I hope it passes as a defect in the store, and they won't waste a hole month trying to fix it, and just replace the phone :)
