I just bought it and like it but. My phone which bluetooths with my car and pill just fine is choppy and crap with the m18 radio. So back it goes. Anyone have this issue ? Thx

It might be a weird phone compatibility problem, or It could be some kind of manufacturing defect. Dan had an issue with his M18 bluetooth radio and Milwaukee swapped it out.

What phone are you using?  The reason I ask is, there are various versions of Bluetooth and it may not be compatible. Sometimes deleting the bluetooth profile on the phone, and re-pair it might help.  Once I know what phone you have, I might have a better solution for you.

Most phones share antennas for Bluetooth and wifi. This can cause issues with Bluetooth streaming while using wifi. A simple test is to turn off wifi and see if the streaming clears up. My m12 Bluetooth speaker does this sometimes with my iPhone 6. Turning off wifi always corrects it. It didn't do it on iOS 8 but since I installed iOS 9 beta it glitches out.

Try it.

Bluetooth is just the radio protocol, different phones and devices have different profiles, and different audio codecs. It's possible yours is not selecting the best profile or codec to use. Which phone are you using?

Turning off wifi would suck than I could not efficiently stream music as I would always have to be on cellular. Again the phone an htc one m8 bluetooth's fine with the car and my daughter 's Pill(even on wifi).

I had the same issue with the new m18 radio. The m12 was fine. I flashed a new Android rom (that was also a newer version of android) and the problem went away.

I would try a friends phone/ipod/iPad to see if it still does it before sending back.

Turning off WiFi won't do much good anyway. I think the problem is that your phone is selecting HSP instead of A2DP (or AVRCP). Try installing an app such as A2DP Switcher from the Play store. When you run it, it should list your radio, and you can use that app to select it. It should force A2DP.

 

Out of curiosity, how does the radio appear in your list of bluetooth devices, for example:

Problem solved. I returned the m18 radio and bought a regular portable radio from the electronics store. Syncs like a charm. I wonder if milwaukee's new super Bluetooth tools will have trouble syncing and go all wacky.
