My only gripe with the Nexus 6P

I'm sure that didn't look weird at all.

Same result.. Only thing that works is Pandora when I choose the built in Pandora input on the car stereo..

Same result with amazon, slacker, rhapsody etc.

When was the last time you updated sync? They play and show on my 2012 and 2013 fords without issues. I don't have mytouch, just normal sync.

No Sync here. Escape is a 2005. My stereo is aftermarket Sony XAV602BT.

Track info shows in iDrive screen in my 2014 335i though.

My Z3 works fine with my stereo.

Well dang it, I think it's just me. I just rotated the phone the other way and it sounded more even. That settles it, I'm crazy.

Just did another test. I'm playing Trials Frontier & I changed the angle of the phone, left to right & noticed more sound on the right side before starting a race. When I did it multiple times, back and forth, the sound kinda alternated between left & right ears hearing it better.

So there is a slight difference in volume between the two speakers.

Isn't here a db meter app you could use to check?

Idk if it's that, or just the angle at which you hold the phone. When I tilted it so the bottom (right) speaker was slightly closer to my head, it sounded louder & vice versa. It was weird.

Well, I cleared cached data through the settings->storage & USB. I can't tell if that evened it out, they sound even, but I read on XDA someone did this after talking to a tech at Google. They claimed it evened them out. There's a lot of people over there saying the same thing.

Another weird thing I just noticed, the distance the speakers are from your face play a role in how balanced they sound. Holding the phone closer makes the top speaker sounds louder, while holding it at a more relaxed, normal distance , they seem equal. So I'm wondering if it's just the angle of the speakers then.

Are you ignoring me on purpose? I've tossed this theory out there.

Get it to the point where the top one sounds louder, then kinda pan the phone left to right and back a few times. Like, hold it in one hand, with your wrist straight and arm vertical, and rotate your wrist. See if you notice the right side become stronger as that angle changes.

I'm not sure how else to describe it, but that's what I noticed when playing Trials Frontier last night. And I wasn't wearing my glasses or contacts at the time, so the phone was definitely closer to my face.

.....maybe.... I'm not sure if you're describing the same thing or not. I know you're saying twist the phone, but I noticed it a lot when keeping the phone the same angle but just distancing it from your face.

We're probably talking about the same thing.

I think we are, just different ways to notice it. I think one of our ways might be confirmation of the other way. Haha! We add credibility to each other.
