Is this problem only affecting those that rooted? I have to try the Bluetooth.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjornisebaert:
My phone (LG G3) is not rooted; I've had the problem since updating to Lollipop, and I assume it has something to do with the ART runtime.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjun90:
So perhaps an issue which is solely software-related.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjornisebaert:
I didn't have the problem with pre-Lollipop Android so it does seem software-related. Unfortunately, I read on other forums that 5.0.1 doesn't solve the problem ...

Subscribed as I have this issue myself on my stock Note 4.

Just got myself some Bluetooth Bluedio R+ Legends to lose the wire and have had the stutter every now and then, a quick Google found you guys suffering the same, I was going to send the headphones back.

Just set display to time out after 10 minutes so will see what that does, however it does tie in with what's already been said I think, as while watching a video earlier I didn't detect any stutter.

The wife's iPhone 5S didn't stutter, but I'm not swapping my Note 4 for anything!

different audio issue

Hey guys, could you please check out this thread of mine and test if it happens to you too? It describes a different, yet similar problem I'm having with my Note 4, it's the SM-N910F version. I don't use BT headphones, but normal wired ones, it also happens on loudspeaker.

Thank you.

EDIT: dang, the link to the thread must've slipped out somehow... here it is: Playback Hiccup (Volume Goes Down and Back Up, Clicks)

hey guys, I don’t think its a Samsung thing, I think it’s more of a Lollipop thing. I having the same bluetooth issue on my N7 running CM12 5.0.2 and my N5 stock 5.01 but the skipping is not as bad on my N5 stock 5.01

I know, it SUCKS!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trev186:
Hi,

I too am having frustrating BT issues.

I use some really nice over the ear BT headphones for work and play. I also have some light sport BT headphones for the gym.

My issues is related to everyone's here. However, thankfully my music is fine.

The issue I am having is in some certain game app the sound is unbearable. I don't mean occasional skips I mean garbled and staticy...painfully to listen too. I did not have these issues on my S4 with the same head phones. Only did this start with my Note 4. This issue does not persist if I plug the headphones in with the included cord....so it is purely a Note 4 BT issue.

The games I am having issues with are:

PPSSPP emulator (sounds skip)

After Burner for Android (Garbled and painful)

Final Fantasy Dimensions (some sounds missing but otherwise ok)

Many more but the above three are all apps with examples of the exact problems I am seeing.

The odd thing is music and games for many other apps are perfectly fine.

I have tried the following things to remedy this:

Increasing min clock speed (all the way to equal with max...no effect)

some BT fix app (could not help me)

updating BT visibility settings (battery drained no effect)

various sound mods such as VIPER (no effect)

Unrooting and reverting to stock (no effect)

Changing various custom Roms (no effect)

This frustrates me to no end because the smart phone market still puts wired headphones ahead of BT ones when it should be the other way around. This is the future....my headphones last over 24 hours and sound great....no one should be using wired headphones anymore.

Anyone who can come up with a suggestion to fix this I am here to help test. I half suspect to completely fix this issue though it will take someone cracking open the kernel which is not my expertise.

What headphone models do you have. They seem to be the issue

BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trev186:
Well

My sporty ones are jaybirds and the over the air are some expensive sony ones

But like I said before these head phones had 0 issues on my s4 and I tested on my wife's tablet and my friends note 3 with the same apps. The issue is only on the note 4.

I doubt it is the headphones.. Also given that the problem only happens in some apps and not others I would say it is a phone issue. Some apps use the bt drivers differently and in some cases this is causing various audio bugs for people.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
Are those headphones Bluetooth compatible with 4.1. Probably not. I know it frustrating but my lgprotone are compatible and I have no issues. Also some Motorola's work and they cost like 30 bucks. It might be ur headphone are out of date for the phone. Now I have read some guys have removed Bluetooth 4.1 and installed 4.0 but that is on you. It was in the forums someplace I was looking to see who was having what issues.

BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trev186:
Not sure what you mean 4.1 vs 4.0

The headphones are less than a year old and my Android is on 4.4.4

Here are the sony headphones :

http://www.cnet.com/products/sony-mdr10rbt/

According to this the headphones are BT version 3.0

Still dont know how that is relevant if the headphones worked fine on other devices with the same apps
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
The Bluetooth software that is in the s4 is 4.0 note4 has 4.1 a lot changed. Our next update might have 4.2 Bluetooth software. Same with cars if you go to say Nissan website and find it buried your new car may not be 4.1 compatible but will be 4.0 compatible

Well so I managed to find a friend who had an Android phone with Bluetooth 4.1 installed on it and Android 4.4.4 that was not a Note 4....

Results:

Booted up PPSSPP with my headphones connected. NO Media static.

So I am still blaming this on the Note 4 specifically.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
So he had either an edge or nexus 6 only phones that have it. All newer phones coming with 4.2.

Doesn't hurt to try and get replacement.

I have this problem on my S5 with CM12 too. But I also noticed that if I went into the BT device menu and hit scan, it would start stuttering like crazy. Considering this, I think the OS might be throttling the BT bandwith, causing packetloss when scanning for more devices.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tugboatom:
Have you found a fix for this? My Note 4/Bluetooth issues only happen with certain games (Never with music, podcasts, etc)

I am on Android 5.0.1, not rooted.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny993:
I personally changed the phone and the problem is never happened :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tugboatom:
So it was hardware issue for you?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny993:
sincerely I don't know yet.. it could be something wrong with snapdragon and the software but don't know.. sometimes changing the kernel or tweaking a bit it could help so really don't know

but I can assure you that on xperia z3c I NEVER had an issue related the stutter

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidisflash:
It's cpu governor

Guys this is usually due to screen off for bt music right?-if the phone goes in deep sleep or has a minimum mhz frequency for screen off this happens.

What I do since I'm rooted is this. I use tasker to automate cpu governor when connected to Bluetooth. I chose a cpu governor that doesn't do deep sleep then I force the minimum cpu speed to be at least 500+ mhz. Also if your music app allows, give it highest priority and maximum audio buffer.

It's not hardware. Bluetooth 4+ supports le and so to not kill your battery the screen off profile is very conservative hence performance loss. I notice stock always has more of this issue. No surprise since stock always has better battery. Good luck
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkoreaper:
Fixed it!

Add this line to you build.prop and watch the skips disappear.

ro.bluetooth.request.master=true

If anyone wants to research on the issue, this is the page that helped me.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/help/bluetooth-audio-settings-android-4-3-t2550054

It appears that Bluetooth stack completely changed which may have been the cause of the issue. The user that started the thread above solved his issues BEFORE the Bluetooth change by adding a bunch of stuff to his audio.conf file

[General]
Enable=Sink,Control,Headset,Gateway,Source
Master=true
AutoConnect=true

[Headset]
HFP=true
MaxConnections=10
FastConnectable=false

[A2DP]
SBCSources=10
MPEG12Sources=0

[AVRCP]
InputDeviceName=AVRCP
MetaDataBlackList=Ford Audio

If anyone knows how to do these things in KitKat/Lollipop this could fix the problem for everyone... That is, if the master setting itself doesn't fix it for everyone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
Looks like I'm going to have to root. I've had my N4 for a long time and this time around I decided not to root and mess with the phone. Since the update to Lollipop I have this weird issue where the phone gets stuck for a couple of seconds with no haptic response or any refreshing of the screen, then it resumes. If I kept on typing, all that I typed now comes in. Whatever else I was doing resumes.

When my phone is connected via Bluetooth to the car stereo, and this happens, then the audio resumes and plays back at 2x/3x normal speed until it catches up, then resumes normal playback. This was observed with Google Play Music, Audible and Google Maps...across two Note 4s (my wife's - we're both on the same update, not rooted).

So rooting and adding this line to the build.prop should fix it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanmato:
I can confirm the ro.bluetooth.request.master=true setting did

I do remember that my old Note 2 had the same exact problem. When I switched to a cyanogen rom, the issue went away. Don't know what changed in terms of audio but maybe somebody can investigate the differences.

Has anyone tested between NuPlayer and AwesomePlayer?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rytymu:
Apparently this is not a Note 4 specific issue. Everyone has been jumping up and down for months on the Google AOSP forums:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=95294

This issue appears to have started on some devices on 4.4.4, and has continued on to nearly every Android device with 5.0/5.1. It is still listed as a small priority. This is kind of a big deal Google...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antaroo:
There is a hope in:

1. New bluetooth ver 4.2 or

2. New android 6.0

I hope one of those will fix our issues with skipping music. The thing is that i dont ind it problematic with music streaming online but classic play through some player from phone memory. And right now it doesnt matter if screen is off or not, music drops out every once in a while no matter what. Sometimes its once or twice a session, sometimes im off of this problem for a whole day.

And for what its worth i can confirm this "****" happens on android 4.4.2, 4.4.4 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 as well as on phones: lg g2, g3, g4 and oneplus one.

How do you know ? Have you been playing music for at least an hour being on the move in the city ? If not, you cant be sure
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny993:
Yes I did! I bought this wonderful phone 6 months ago and from then I always used poweramp with both screen off / on and both from headphones and Bluetooth. I listened to music while playing some candy crash or Asphalt 8 and NEVER and I repeat NEVER had music stuttering! I came from a Samsung Galaxy S4 that was suffering of the same thing you all are affected so I know how it was! But now, it's all "another music"

P.S. if you have doubts on what I wrote, I invite you to go and search for this problem in the Sony's threads but you will never read about this problem because this problem has never been occurred on Sony xperias :D

So current situation is I got an AT&T Note 4 but I know I can't stand this locked bootloader. So I'm thinking of selling the Note 4 to pick up an LTE-A S5, its more of my size and it has the S805 and QHD.

My question is: How good is the LTE-A S5's display compared to the Note 4's?

I've read alot about the Note 4 and heard its display more accurately representing colors this year and wondering it it's true for the S5's QHD.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] mudar1771:
Hi all,

I need help testing our app on LG L5 II (E450) running Android 4.1.2. It seems that other LG devices running 4.1.2 would have the same issue.

So if someone is running 4.1.2 on an LG device, I would ask you to install the first attached APK, try to crash the app. Then install the 2nd APK and confirm that (hopefull!) it doesn't crash anymore...

I've attached 2 APK builds here. The first build is the same as the one on the playstore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.muzooka.player

Reading various threads leads me to 2 possible reasons:

Using a custom font (SpannableString) for the ActionBar title

Missing `android:titleCondensed` when creating ActiobBar menu item

If I understood this right, then here are the steps to crash the app:

If it's the first reason, then the app should crash right away :(

If it's the second one, then the app should crash when accessing the actiobar overflow menu. Steps to crash:

Open app and go throught the welcome screens

on the first screen, select *Charts* from the left navigation drawer

On the Charts, tap a song's menu (vertical dots) and go to *Artist info*

Long press on the share icon (to display the description tip box), or do a search.

Crashed?

If both tests don't crash the app, feel free to click around trying to crash it.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a decent sounding headset with mic and volume controls that is compatible with Moto G, And is NOT In-Ear?

I searched the thread, but all headsets being recommended are In-Ear. I prefer old school headset like the the one that came with iPhones (Not In-Ear) that has fully working media controls for Moto G.

Thanks!

Would this be an option? Cable
[Moto G Accessories] TakipSiLim:
I never thought you can buy a cable like that. That seems to be a nice alternative if I really can't find.

do you happen to know a headset that has built in media controls, and not in-ear? All the new headsets today are in-ear.

I have been impressed with the battery on this phone the last few days. Now that Im up and running with all my apps I gave it some good tests the other day.

On my note 3, while driving with nav and music streaming from google, I would lose about 8-10% an hour.

This weekend I did about 5 hours of total driving, with nav and music on the whole time. With a few phone calls, by the end the of the day, I was still at 46%.

Last night I tested just music. I had a 2 hour round trip. (Hour there, hour back, all highway and the same route, so cell signal would be the same)

Driving down, I started at 80℅ and arrived with 76℅. No music was playing. Phone was ideling.

On my drive back, I started at 75% and ended with 71℅. Music streaming from google the whole time.

I will be testing more, but that is pretty damn impressive in my book.

I will post my settings and turned off apps list later.

Attached is a screen shot of battery use from this weekends driving.
