I have had a Motorola S9 through 3 phones and have had no problems, my first Imagio had no problems, my replacement Imagio however, when I am listening to music via the S9 the music gets choppy and cuts in and out. Has anyone had any issues with bluetooth on the Imagio?
I am having issues with my bluetooth hands free. In order to use it i have to have the phone within a foot or two and nothing in between for the sound to come through clear. I would also like to know if there is any kind of fix for this
I don't know if this will be any help...but here are some registry edits I did to clear up the stereo audio quality over bluetooth.
I also use the Motorola S9 headphones and have had no issues.
For me...the music seems to be crystal clear.
Let me know if it works for you...

You can always try a hard reset to see if that clears up the problem.
my phone did the same choppy play back then i went to verizons website and looked up the s9 head phones it come back not compatible i did not feel like calling verizon to confirm this tho.
i was think about stealing the headsets from my older son since he likes his $10.00 skullcandy ear buds they were on sale at target during christmas
I like sony earphone
i like sony too
3 plantronics BT headset that will not pair.
1 Samsung stereo headset that will not pair.
My Imagio sees my other phones, my wife's computer, Dell Axim, my Nextar BT hands free.
The problem don't appear to be with BT itself because it does seem to work. Why can't my Imagio pair with this stuff when other devices can?
Is it possible that the Imagio doesnt have a stereo or streaming audio profile?
I suppose i should try pairing my motorola stereo earphones and see for myself.

I have owned ~5 bluetooth headsets over the past 3 - 4 years and currently have been using the Plantronics Voyager 855 for over a year. Reason for this headset is I like to listen to streaming audio (XM & Sirius) on my phone in stereo and mono...this headset was the only one to offer decent quality sound in a compact package (no dongles hanging from my neck etc..) Problem is my headset is showing its age with shortened batt. life and the range is not what it used to be (also sound as a headset was never that great in noisy environments). My frustration is after almost 1.5 yrs I cant find any new headsets that support a2dp and come in a small package (cant be behind the head both sides like the S9). Jawbone headset has had out 3 different new models during the whole time i have had the 855 and still has not come out with one that supports a2dp...same with all other major manufacturers that I looked at. It just seems like now there is no push by manufactures to produce a mono or optional stereo headset in a small size (I love the blueant Q1 but again..no a2dp).
Anyone know of new headsets coming out that fit my description? Also looked at the use of the btaudio.cab file to "make" any BT headset stream audio ...anyone have experience using this? biggest concern in using this cab would be greatly reducing batt life on my BT.
Thanks
I had great success with nokias a2dp bt steroe headsets
Looking on Nokia web site I cant seem to find any in-the-ear headsets types that list A2DP as a feature. What is the model your using?
I'm having great success with my Lubix stereo headset.
I use BH-503 from nokia
Hi guys,
I recently installed a third-party head unit in my car in order to get a number of modern features including aux input and bluetooth capability. (The stereo is the JVC XR810.) I also recently purchased a Droid 2, which is actually a casemod using a Droid 1 body with the Droid 2 internals shoved into it. Rooted, running a custom ROM, etc. It's great, I love it.
Everything seems to work great between the phone and the stereo—I can listen to Pandora or MP3s from the phone, and dialing out works properly, even voice dialing. The call audio is piped through the car speakers and I use the head unit's mic to talk. Wonderful.
The only problem is, when I receive a call while the phone is hooked up to the stereo via bluetooth, the call audio comes out of the phone speaker rather than the car speakers. The music that's playing over bluetooth pauses, the call comes up on the phone, but the sound comes out of the phone itself. This has only happened once (I don't get a lot of calls), but it sounded like it was coming out of the earpiece on the front of the phone rather than the speakerphone speaker on the rear of the phone. (I do plan to do some more extensive testing this evening using my gf's phone to call myself.)
I looked through the phone and car menus pretty exhaustively to try and find a setting that would cause this, but I can't seem to locate it.
Can anyone shed some light?
Bump bump bump!
Nobody, eh?
Hello there,
I have my DHD now for about 3 months and thought I could add some accessories so I bought a NOKIA BH-604 Bluetooth headset. I have to admit amazing quality!
easy to use and connects/ pairs easily.
But I noticed something weird, the music falters randomly or whenever I move and thats killing me!!
I thought it was the headphone being incompatible with the DHD or the headphone being broken.
Once connected to a nokia phone I didn't have those problems also connected to a HD2 running NAND android cyanogenmod, the same, no problems at all
so could it be my phone
Their are apps on the market for blocking out headphone controls, I've only heard of this problem with wired headsets but it may also help you.
Hey all
I just ordered this clip and am excited to get it. I am just wondering if any of you geniuses can add the software to our Sensations to support the aptX audio enhancement CODEC?
http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/accessories/htc-car/
Premium music for those on the go
Wirelessly stream music from your HTC phone through your car stereo speakers with the Car StereoClip (Aux). Just plug the adaptor into a 3.5mm auxiliary port, and listen to premium, authentic sound thanks to embedded apt-X enhancement.
Are you on Sense 3.6 or 4.0? Either way you should let us know how it works w/ your sensation.
Maybe that's why we're having BT issues on 4.0 ports... the new codec? meh, just a random thought.

I am on Android Revolution HD 6.6.3 XE so Sense 3.6
The Stereo clip should be shipping at the end of this month.
I'm very excited for this! I've been looking for a good adapter for AGES! I was about to buy a bluetooth adapter to a headphone jack to stream my phone audio to the car stereo via bluetooth to headphone jack. But this looks perfect and reliable. Hopefully it'll work out

Just wanted to add that this dongle has an imbedded battery (6-8 hour estimated), with a micro USB charging port.
I hope to be able to hide this away in my car, and run continuous power to it so I don't have to take it back out again. Hopefully some reviews with good info come out
Since it's a Bluetooth adapter, would it work with other phones via A2DP? Or does it work specifically with HTC phones using a proprietary connection/codec (aptx)?

Hey all, well the HTC Car StereoClip came in today. I am very pleased, it works just like advertised. It lets me connect via Bluetooth to the clip and play Music thru to my car stereo. When a call comes in it defaults to regular phone earpeice mode and does not try to play the phone call thru bluetooth.
First quick impressions, audio quality is fine. What I am really wondering is would audio quality really jump up in quality if we had the aptX audio enhancement CODEC in the Sensation?

Have you used an auxillary cable to play audio through your car stereo before using the clip? If so, how would you say the audio quality compares?
I currently use an aux cable to play music through my stock stereo on my TSX but the quality is pretty mediocre...

OK, so I guess that means that the phone (One X in my case) can't connect to both this device AND my bluetooth built-in car kit - one for streaming music and one for phone calls?
My car (BMW) has a factory Bluetooth kit installed but, unfortunately, it doesn't support music streaming. I have been using a cable to connect my phone's head phone socket to the AUX-in port of the car and this has been working fine. Music streams via the cable and get's muted when a call comes in via the Bluetooth kit and then un-muted when the call finishes.
I was hoping to pair my phone to both Bluetooth devices and have them working simultaneously, one for music output and the other for phone calls.
Too much to ask for?
Software fix?
...When a call comes in it defaults to regular phone earpeice mode and does not try to play the phone call thru bluetooth...
It really quite stupid that you can't also use this devise for phone calls. When a call comes in, it should remain using the BT. I wander if there is a way to make it work? Perhaps some sort of software or app or something to make this happen...

I guess thats why they also sell the car mic (v100) as a separate piece to the car accessories stuff.
I have both on order, but both are in backorder. Expansys.usa for the car mic and sprint.com for the stereo clip. I'll let you all know how it all works together.

Can you confirm that indeed call does not come through even when there is only a single device pared (mobile and A100)? That would really be shame as this might have been the perfect solution for hands free calling, having mic from the phone for outgoing audio and car speakers for incoming audio.
The easiest way to tell is just to look at the bluetooth pairing settings for the stereoclip, is it just pairable as a media device, or media as well as phone?
Hey All
Ok I wanted to give an update. I am extremely please with StereoClip.
My car is a 2005 Cadillac STS with Nav and factory Blue-tooth for phone but does NOT support Blue-tooth Audio. So I have had to use the AUX in for Pandora until now. The stereo is the factory 15 speaker BOSE system plus a Kicker 10" sub in a custom fiberglass enclosure with its own 1,000 watt amp.
Tonight I just compared the sound quality of Blue-tooth vrs being wired/plugged in. I was nicely surprised that I could not tell a bit of difference in quality. This was done parked in my garage with the car on. I listened to Jazz, Rap, Latin, and Techno. I listened for bass quality, highs, openness, and to my surprise I could not truly tell how I was connected. I was positive that being connect via blue-tooth I was NOT going to get the same sound quality, that I would give up some quality for convenience. Well at least in my 15 min quick test of starting a song listening to it for a min or so then switching how its connected to the car stereo and continuing the song I could not hear any difference. Very happily surprised.
Then I drove for dinner and decided to see if my phone would also pair to my car at a blue-tooth cell phone at the same time will listening to music and it did. My Sensation was paired to the HTC StereoClip and to the Cadillac at the same time. I made a phone call, Pandora paused, The call connected I spoke for a min or two then hung up and then Pandora resumed. All worked perfectly.
So the StereoClip works perfectly. I'm thrilled.
Thanks HTC.
P.S. the only little annoying thing is, for me to pair to it I have to actually press the pairing butting on the StereoClip and then tell my Sensation to connect to it. So its two additional steps I need to do EVERY TIME I get in my car. Kinda a hassle but I feel its better than seeing a wire and being hard wired to the car....

I'm glad you like it! I'm curious of what ROM you are using right now. And would you mind testing it on AOSP based ROM??
Please see attached screen shot to see the exact ROM.
I just rooted my phone (any phone) for the first time several weeks ago. I am extremely please with how my phone works. Someone asked if I could try a different ROM, honestly I'm a believer if it works don't fix it, so I really don't wish to mess with a new ROM for now. So sorry.

Got my Stereo Clip in today
And I must say is very nice! I use to use the aux cable to connect the phone to the head unit but with this lil puppy its just bad a$$!
My setup:
I have a BlueAnt S4 (on sale btw on dailysteals.com for 20 bux in the USA I think, sorry!) and that plays media through its speaker. So all my navi voice prompts can be heard through the S4. And the profile the S4 supports is phone audio of course and media audio.
Now I introduce the HTC Car A100. Pairing was easy peasy. Then jumped in the truck to see how this works. I pulled up poweramp and started a track. Then turned on the bluetooth on the phone. Now both the S4 and A100 is connected to the phone. However when connected the music started playing though the S4.
I then went into the bluetooth profile of the BlueAnt S4 and unchecked the media profile. This will then in turn only be used for phone calls only, which works because the A100 cannot play the calls through the speakers. I restarted the track and viola, the music started to stream smooth as silk through my speakers. And it's nothing like the FM transmitters for ipods, this is clear as my aux cable!
I have to say I have not received a call yet with both running. I'll report back on how this functions in my setup. I hope it works lol...
I got a new stereo system for my car with bluetooth built in and was worried it wouldn't work well with my One X judging from all the complaints. Needless to say it works flawlessly. The audio quality is the same as direct AUX input and it just worked. What were all the complaints about bluetooth about?

The problems I had was that bluetooth would randomly disconnect occasionally, and sometimes when I started the car it just wouldn't connect. The random drop outs didn't happen often but it did happen. I have two other Android phones that do not have this problem. I haven't had any drop outs since I updated though so it may be fixed.
That's crazy. Mine has worked flawlessly so far. Has anyone else not had any problems?

I would guess that HTC has certified A2DP on your new stereo? What model did you get? On my Sony mex-bt2800 (bought it about 3 or 4 years ago) when I pair my One X there is no Acoustic Profile for it on HTC's bluetooth stack so the phone defaults the bitpool to 32 bits causing the tinny sound you can really hear it on Cymbals sounds like your listening to a 96kbps mp3. On the AOSP Rom's like CyanogenMod they use the bluez bluetooth stack which uses a higher bitpool of 53 giving me perfect playback on my stereo.
That's basically what all the hub bub is about. If you tell me what stereo you got I may just go get me one myself so I can get this issue behind me.

Interesting, I only listen to podcasts over A2DP in the car. I have a Kia Soul 2012 with the Microsoft based UVO infotainment system. I haven't noticed any issues but I might not since as I said it's most ly podcasts. I'm going to try and push some music on it tomorrow and see how it good it sounds.

With my experience, it depends on the car or head unit manufacturer. Some function better than others. Some play with smartphones better than others.

Holy ****, i need your device info!
I work at an electronics store and have access to a cde133bt, its one of the stereos I tested my phone on.
The results are the same i've had on every other stereo, it starts to cut out after moving not even 15 feet away.
It's so bad in fact, that if i am standing right next to the stereo and I put myself between the phone and the stereo, it drops instantly.
Emailed/Called HTC, no response or solution.
Can you post what carrier youre on, android version, software version, custom roms(?), have you flashed or updated your phone with anything?

AT&T One X. Unrooted and on stock firmware. I got the stereo today and didn't change a thing on it. Simply turned my car on, paired my One X to it, and enjoyed that lossless bluetooth audio.

Bluetooth hooked up to my pioneer avic bt130 easily. sounds amazing (slacker,tune in, spotiffy, audio galaxy) with hertz audio mille components front and rear and 2 12w6s in the trunk. Jl hd 600/4 f/r and hd 1200 on the subs. I sometimes forget and think I'm on iPod (aac 256 & losless) input. Dumped all my mp3s..even the 320 bit rate. Used iTunes to convert everything with its best quality settings. Can't tell a difference from lossless. I love tha car mode with tune in. All though it would be better if I could choose the app. Have occasionally lost connection though. Not so much it's made me cuss yet.
Hox Bluetooth works crap with Cadillac SRX 2012, which was able to pair beautifully with the Dell streak 5 phone !
The OP seems incredulous or amazed that just because he paired with one stereo, and it works, that other people are reporting issues? Pretty broken logic. There are hundreds of different car stereo head units (not to mention many more hundreds of Bluetooth headsets, headphones, speakers, and other audio accessories) made by dozens of manufacturers all trying to make their units compatible with a slew of different phones. The Bluetooth standards seem loose at best, and its a bit like the wild west. As a previous reply noted, it completely depends on the brand and model of car stereo, some work better than others with the One X. And a stereo that works fine with one phone, may not work well with another.
Mine typically works well once paired, and sounds good (although once in a while it connects media only, no phone; or the skip controls on the car stereo do not work). But it does not auto-connect when I get back into the car. Its a pretty basic Bluetooth function that it should auto connects to a paired device, once it senses that device is within range and powered on. A look at the system files shows that Subaru stereo head units (as well as other car manufacturers) are blacklisted from auto connecting on the One X's Bluetooth stack.
I installed a new car stereo over the weekend that has bluetooth and my HOX connects and sounds great with it. But, like others the phone wont auto connect when I start the car. If I use the power control widget on my phone to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on it connects within seconds. Whats weird though is that both the phone and stereo will say its connected, but no audio will be played through the stereo until I turn the bluetooth off then on again on the HOX.
To be honest, this is not really a big deal to me because I only turn bluetooth on when I get in the car. So when I start the car and then I turn on bluetooth it connects fine. As long as I dont have bluetooth on before I start the car.
2010 Dodge Charger SRT8. The phone wouldn't connect no matter what I tried. I was going to wait for other roms to see if they could fix it, but the phone just caused me too many problems. It went back to best buy and I went back to a iPhone 4S and Lumia 900. Both of which work with my stereo perfectly.
Mine connects just fine to both my cars (a new Toyota Sienna and an old BMW with an aftermarket BT retrofit module). But it won't connect to my Motorokr headphones.
As someone said, this stuff is all over the map. It's not just HTC.
you only get lossless with bluetooth if you have the htc stereoclip.
