Tested several BT headsets, car BT and most of the time i get stattic and Extremly bad call quality on both ends.. Sometimes it works without any problem.
Even Call quality with phone itself is pretty bad compared to other phones i owned.
Googled and several have this issue.
Wounder if there is any fix?

THanks

Lol, for me it's even better compared to my Zuk Z1. I use Bluetooth on car every day and calling a lot. Which device and Rom are u using?

Its only Call qualty..IF i listen to a radio station/song on BT there are no problems. But as soon as its a call it goes to hell! Must be a software issue.
Beside that even call recorders have problem.

I had the same issues with my car stereo and Bluetooth. Kept having to repair. Same thing happens to my smart watch. I just feel like it's something in the Bluetooth radio. Idk it's really annoying.

Sadly its very anoying and if the Nougat firmware wont fix it i will return the phone. Will wait 1 more week
I Tested it with following BT
Car BT Audio streaming works,. Calls Disaster
Jabra Stealth - Works on both calls and audio. BT 4.1
Jabra Boost - Horrible at calls, Audio streams works fine
Samsung Gear S3 Works on both calls and audio

Dunno if changing caller app changes anything?! But strange thing that it works for some headsets but not all. And its easier to change the phone than the Car :D
