First try was a strike -- still getting the issues. I tried to start from a blank slate -- "forgetting" all BT devices and clearing cache, etc. from BT under Apps/System. I used all default settings. Skipping occurred. So, I tried different AVRCP settings. They didn't seem to have an effect...

Thank you for the replies. I received my 8.1 update this morning and am eager to test it. I'll post my findings soon.

For those who had the specific bluetooth problems of music skipping/cracking during playback as discussed in this post: https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=786143&p=5744493&viewfull=1#post5744493 I'm wondering whether 8.1 cleared up any of those symptoms in light of this XDA post...

My situation: my car can connect to my Pixel for phone function only. In order to play music via bluetooth, I have a music-only dongle that connects via BT to the Pixel and via the AUX jack in the car. Thus, in order to have both phone and music car functionality, the Pixel is connected to two...

Thank you, Matty. I'll log my inputs there, too. I was encouraged by others whose Oreo preview had cleared this up.

These BT woes have returned with my Oreo update. Anyone else? ugh....

A quick update on my recent experience. I haven't loaded the dev version of A-O, because I'm a techno-wuss -- haha! However, the June 5 security patch seemed to have stabilized BT significantly in my situation. I have a BT 4.0 USB dongle (with AUX output jack) for music streaming, and I...

SteelGator and billykac -- thank you for posting this very encouraging information about your BT issues and A-O's potential fix!

In my situation, it happens while streaming music: - stored on board as mp3 - stored on board by Spotify - via Pandora, Play, and Spotify through their services over VZW network - via Play in Safe Mode I have not found a way to stop the interference.

Thank you (in advance) for posting your experiences through testing.

Thank you for the replies. The issue has not resolved for me, either. I bought a new BT dongle (BT v4.0), thinking that the upgrade might help -- it didn't. The only thing that resolves it completely is disconnecting the BT from the car's head unit, but, then I lose phone functionality. I...

OTA arrived this morning when I checked at 0600 (Eastern Standard, US). I'll check the BT issue that I described, but would still appreciate any input from those who've had the issue, too. Thanks, All !

For those who had bluetooth "skipping, crackling" during music playback in a car -- I have the same problem -- I would appreciate learning from you about whether the update has fixed this issue for you. As of the morning of 05 April (East Coast US), I am waiting for the update to my Pixel (US...
