So my Bluetooth randomly cuts audio and starts stuttering... Any ideas? I'm full stock...
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
on what kind of device, and what version of BT does that device support?
It happens to me too, but only with cheap devices listening to music, it does not happen when talking.
Happens on my Echo & 2014 Audi A4. People say disabling wifi will fix it. 7.1.2 looks like it IMPROVES it but doesn't RESOLVE it.
I say returning the phone and buying an iPhone will fix it...because both my Echo and my Audi worked fine with my iPhones.
It happens with my Sony headphones mdr-x950...
They are pretty good I guess...

In the current day and age where everyone has bluetooth headsets...how do they get away with this?
Hello! I am having a problem with my Verizon Pixel XL, it seems that several earbuds/headphones I have do not work properly when used with the Pixel XL.
When using the headphones/earbuds the audio works in the speakers, but the microphone does not work. The earbuds are not defective as the sound and mics work on my Ipad and my Note 8.
I have this problem with (4) different earbuds I have purchased and it does not work on my Pixel XL or my brothers Pixel XL so it does not seem to be a problem with my specific device.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
MIC NOT WORKING:
Samsung ANC Earbuds
AKG Earbuds
(2) other cheaper no name brand ear buds.
WORKING:
Samsung earbuds which came with my NOTE 7.
Beats Earbuds.
Beats solo 3
Also the earbuds/headphones are plugged in all the way.
All headphones and earbuds i have work flawlessly, so this may be an isolated problem.
I do remember one of my older HTC phones having problems with certain headphones. It was along the lines of earbuds with only a mic and one button would work flawless. But the earbuds that ONLY had a mic (no buttons) or earbuds with multiple buttons (volup/voldown/etc) wouldnt work.
i ended up replacing the 3.5mm jack (which included a whole circuit board) which fixed the problem.
Try cleaning it while being careful not to push potential crud further in, and then attempt a factory flash, then i would suggest contacting Google support.
I have tested the earbuds in 3 Pixel XL now, all the same results. I have found oddly that if I do not push the headphone jack all the way in and it just "sits" in the slot without the normal click, then the mic and sound works flawless. However being loose this isn't a permanent solution. Once push all the way in until it "clicks" the mic no longer works but the sound still works.

I'm having the same issue, along with several coworkers so its not an isolated incident. Never noticed this until I got a pair of the samsung akg tuned earbuds. Mic didn't work with my oneplus 3t or pixel xl unless I do that trick you are referencing. I found that if you wait to hear feedback in your headphones and then slowly push it in, they work but only for that time. This trick does seem to be much easier to pull off with the 3t though. I had an old pair of htc earbuds a friend gave me and that mic works fine. As does a pair of sennheiser momentum. Its only the pixel xl or 3t that have these problems.

Not sure if everyone is aware that the pixel xl uses omtp standard, where most phones are ctia. Ctia earphones will not work in an omtp device. You can buy an adapter but that does seem like an elegant solution.

I have heard that. Everything works fine, sound and volume keys, except the microphone. Seems weird that would be the only thing affected. I'll have to look into this adapter. I've literally never heard of this before today and just assumed there was just one standard for the headphone jack.
same here, in excitement I purchased an AKG earphone but the mic is not compatible with pixel XL though both work flawlessly with other combinations (earphones and mobiles and vice verse)
So, i saw lots of discussions around for a usb-c headphones that actually works with pixel 2 (mine is pixel 2xl)..
I ordered long time ago this usb-c headset from AliExpress, and forgot about it, then i received it today.. And it wooooorks.. Its actually really good (not saying high end headset good) but high volume, definitely noticeable bass, and very cheap (about 10$)..
So the secret was when i was searching for something that works with pixel 2 is to have CDLA (maybe a dax feature or a driver in it)..
Below you can see its picture and a link.. but also you can just search for usb c with CDLA on AliExpress..
The link:
Original Letv CDLA Earphone Letv 2Pro HiFi Chip Inbedded Continual Digital Lossless Audio Type-C for Xiaomi 6 Gold Galved Mic

(from AliExpress Android)
What i don't like (but can live with it since its that cheap) is that its not in ear, its more like the shape of apple's one's.. And the mic is on the wire of the left ear (strange given that am used to the mic being on the right ear wire)
Honestly, the main reason for me to use it is that am on the phone a lot, and i want a quick plug and play mono headset, so am going to cut off one of the ears speakers (mono conversion).. And with it being that cheap, i don't mind the cutting (at least not a 50$ plus for an earset that i will end up cutting)
BAHAHA Looks like they took their iPhone headphones and put a USB C on instead of a Lightning. But having used the apple ones I might be interested in a pair since I kinda like em.

No wonder you forgot about the order. It's like getting a surprise gift.
How does music sound on them?

Louder than any normal 3.5 with an adapter, clear enough (but not high end clear), with a very noticeable bass (which i like, but again not high end bass)..

Instead of a dongle it should be an adapter that is cordless. Just the input and output on each side. Probably lose it even faster haha

These are the same headphones that come with the LeEco S3, Pro, etc. I have them and they are very impressive. They truly sound better than earbuds in the $100 range.

Hahahaha.. But mmmmm should google pay me then ?
Back at low price, I'm going to buy it!
Music worked but microphone didn't. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Yeah..mic don't work properly during a phonecall. The other party I called said that there was a loud annoying buzzing electrical noise when I use this headphone. I bought 2 pieces and both had the same issue. Disappointed
This will change my idea... Damn
wanted to buy this until i saw the price.........
Yaaaa noticed that too.. Sometimes the mic doesn't work.. Agree with most here..
Other suggestion for type c earphones working with mic?
Can't get these to work on my phone. Is there an option I haven't enabled, or is Flash Kernel interfering in someway maybe?
Can confirm they work on my computer so its not the headphones themselves
EDIT: so interestingly I flipped around the usb cord and it works haha. Weird how it works one way and not the other.
Mine arrived yesterday and the microphone works perfectly.

I have a BT Garmin HRM (chest strap) that worked fine on my older LG V20, however, both my Pixel XL and now my Pixel 2 XL don't seem to be able to connect to it even though it seems to pair fine via BT. I'm using the same software - Endomondo Pro - on both my LG phone and the Pixel devices but the latter two just don't pick the HRM strap up.
I haven't yet found a fix, if there is one, but is anyone using a HRM chest strap with any success? If so, what kind is it?
Thanks!
one bump, one more try...
I sold my Jaybird Runs last week because they were constantly dropping their pairing connection with the Mate 20 X in spotify. Looking to try something else. Suggestions welcome!
Just a note of caution about the Jabra Active Elite 65t wireless earbuds. They are great earbuds and worked flawlessly with my Xiaomi Mi Max 3, but I have tried two sets of them with two different Huawei Mate 20 x phones and in each case when I try to play music they either make a skipping noise for two or three minutes before they play the music, or else they are silent until I turn bluetooth on and off a couple of times.
I've been using Jaybird X3 and have no issues with connectivity

I think it's because of the drivers (?) or BT5 incompatibility.

I bought these. They work flawlessly, the sound is good and they connect automatically instantly when I take them out of the box (BT5): .https://www.aliexpress.com/item/YTO...581.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3da24c4do8aJmm

^ I bought the same earbuds. They do work flawlessly but they don't have any bass like the Jabra T65 and dont fit as snug. Dilemma...use T65 and deal with having to connect/reconnect before it starts working or live without bass.
Has anyone tried the new Galaxy Buds with the Mate 20 X? Heard they're great wireless buds
Hey guys, I've held off for now, but I plan to buy some Galaxy Buds once they're in stock at bestbuy. Will let you know how it turns out

Well that's a bummer, I use the 65t's and I just ordered the international mate 20x. Did you have the jabra app installed? Not really sure if it helps with the connection process or not. Also, were these the chinese variant or the international variant you tried them on?
Yes I have the latest version of the Jabra Sound+ app installed. This latest version no longer requires the Jabra Service app to be installed and running. Both Mate 20 x phones that I have tried the Active 65t with are the L29 global version.

Any updates on the buds with the mate 20 X?
I have the Samsung buds (2019) connected to the Mate 20 X. No issues at all, they work beautifully.
By the way, the buds had 3 firmware upgrades already (in less than 2 weeks of ownership). They're fantastic buds.

If you don’t mind me asking, how’s the bass?

It is quite good, you can clearly hear the lowest frequencies but, do not expect the bass boost you would usually get from bigger headphones. If you use the equalizer on the galaxy app, you could make the bass sound considerably more prominent. I would describe the sound of these buds as balanced, very pleasant and accurate. My only other reference are the Sony's WH-1000XM2 which obviously have more bass but, the comparison is really unfair.
During phone (voice) conversations, the sound is really clear and the voice sounds natural and full.

Sorry, they were sold out everywhere! I was not expecting it to take so long. Finally ordered, should arrive on Monday or Tuesday. Will test and let you know. :highfive:
I'm using these ones (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-...rds=klearlook&qid=1553705469&s=gateway&sr=8-1) and they're working well. Sound quality and battery life are very good, and they use usb c to charge so no need to take a extra cable to charge them.
Galaxy Buds arrived early! I've been listening to them all day!
Blown away by the sound quality, clarity, and loudness. And they're so small compared to the last generation, the case is so tiny, yet the battery lasts forever. Really impressed.
Anyway regarding the Mate 20 X--The 1st gen Jaybird Run was awful and didn't work with my phone, they would randomly turn off or disconnect when switching media. It was almost unusable, so I decided to get rid of them. The Galaxy Buds have been much better, connects flawlessly and maintains its connection with no issues. Much better experience.
Conclusion. I would highly recommend the Galaxy Buds!

Glad I wasn't the only one that had the Runs and they would just turn off. Made me so mad.
Switched to the Galaxy buds as well. Much better connection and sound clarity. Lacking bass compared to Jaybirds.
Got mine for 105$ shipped from ATT
I'm more upset that I have to have a Samsung app on my phone.
I just got some LG TONE Ultra SE HBS-835S headphones. Around the neck design with AptX(I can't stand audio lag...), JBL sound, great bass, and absolutely no connection issues with BT 5.0
