iPhone Xs Bluetooth audio quality

Exact same issues as reported by all in this thread in my brand new 2019 RAM 1500 Limited with the 12” uConnect media center and premium 9 speaker harman kardon speaker system.

Treble comes and goes every 20 seconds or so when playing music from Apple Music app over Bluetooth connection. No issue over wired connection.

iPhone X running iOS 12.1

Great, finally found this thread and other people having this annoying issue. First had this with my iPhone 8 Plus and now with XS since I upgraded to iOS 12. Hopefully they will find a solution for that. Have this also only in my 2017 BMW Series 1.

This is also happening to me with Iphone XS (Australia). So frustrating. Is it going to be something they can fix in a software update or do we need to go to apple to get phone swapped? Def bluetooth related as plays fine over usb and out loud on device, only happens through bluetooth and turning off WIFI does not help. Issues with car and all bluetooth speakers, head/earphones. My dad has Iphone XR and no issues.

HELP!!!

I am having the same problem with both my iphone 5s and Ipad pro. When I am listening with headphones everything is fine but from the time I try listening to anything via bluetooth, the sound is distorted. It happens on my LG home stereo as well as in my car stereo. This problem only started from ios 12. The sound is similar to if your speakers are burst.

Are these communities monitored by someone at Apple? how are they addressing this? I have open a case ID on Apple support both Brazil (where I live) and US but none have replied or tried reaching me with a solution. Have you guys globally reported this back to Apple?

I followed the prompts to report the isssue, they gave me a number to call. I called the number and they told me to report it online! One big circle! And....He said he has never heard of this issue! What a waste of time!

Thank you Hygh Priest.

This is a good work around until they can fix the issue. Makes it bare-able to listen to music again.

This should be marked as the solution to the problem as it is a very good work around. :) You have made my day!

Turning off wifi does not work and should not be noted as the solution!

Hello together,

same issue here since months with my 2016 BMW. I‘ve called Apple several times, but with all the Updates the last months there was no improvement.

It only occurs with mit iPhone 8, I got a SE as well, working without any issues.

Maybe Apple should solve this issue, After having the Wifi workaround every Morning when leaving Home, which is some kind of annoying. Every $100 Android based phone is working better with that.

So Apple, please fix this annoying issue!

So even if this problem only occurs with bmw, Apple was the one who rolled out an update (on iOS12) wich produced this failure. So I think it's on Apple to make sure that an update is working fine before rolling it out.

not true. It IS happening with MANY different cars. I started have many Bluetooth issues in my Lexus a few months back. Now my daughter has Dane issues with her Mercedes. It’s most definitely an apple issue.

Well so we can Point out that it‘s neither car related nor due to country specific configurations.

Furthermore it isn‘t one specific iPhone model which is affected.

I‘m really asking myself, whether Apple is Even Reading in its own support section 🤔

So this is interesting. I hopped into my old 2010 Acura TSX. It needs a new caliper and has kinda been sitting for a year. So I started it up and thought hey I should see if it has the same issue as my 2017 Civic. And low and behold the fidelity never changes. Highs stay crisp all the time. However the actual Bluetooth connection is not very stable. No idea why but at least while it’s playing it sounds perfect. Also that dropping issue is usually only in the first 5 minutes or so. I forgot how good the tech stereo sounds in the old Acura. I gotta get this caliper taken care of ASAP.

When I connect my iphone 6s plus to a Bluetooth speaker, either to play music or talk on the phone in my car, I have this annoying issue with the sound quality. The music sound quality can get better after some seconds of disruption when I play Spotify on my Bose Bluetooth speaker but the sound quality of my car’s speaker when I’m talking on the phone is constantly noisy and is never good! This has nothing to do with my phone reception. Any suggestions?

This is unrelated to this issue i am afraid..

as of now, i've still not seen a single person in any of the threads mentioning they had any problems with interference before the software update, myself included..

Taking into accord that most of the complaints are with/in cars, i'd say the chance of 2.4GHz interference is pretty shallow..

Can you please provide more information. The bug fix is not mentioned under the list of fixed issues. The one that was fixed is related to voice recordings in a car environment and not the general audio problem we are talking about here.
