I'm curious to find out if anyone has issues with Bluetooth. I just spent a decent amount for a high quality Bluetooth stereo headset so I can listen to music while jogging or bike riding with no wires, and for some reason I can't seem to get good signal with it unless the phone is less than a foot away. I know the WiFi in this phone sucks completely, so I was curious if the Bluetooth sucked too.

your antenna or something must be broken if you have to be that close
It sounds like all around you need a new phone, I have never used Bluetooth but from the sounds of it there are internal problems

My WiFi works to about two houses away(my house is concrete brick and my router is in a corner, and Bluetooth has worked well for me. I agree its probably your antennae.

i got the motorola S10-HD bluetooth stereo headset and they barely connect to the device. but i heard if your on CM you should be ok with it. idk y but htc sense doesnt have the greatest radio for bluetooth in my opinion. i tested it on 5 phones, and only htc phones i had issues with.

Make sure the headset supports A2DP and Bluetooth 3.0.
I am able to stream shoutcast over 3g/bluetooth from my phone to my Pioneer DEH-P9800BT no problem.
I just got a new bluetooth 3.0 set from Fry's for like $30 and it has been working fine. Haven't tried music streaming yet.
Link here:

I have some issues with connecting and have to repair everytime but not sure if that's my kernel or cm7 or the headset itself. Will check later.
I'm on cm nightlie and have my issue....have tried different nightlies with same issue...but haven't tried other peoples roms cause their still based on cm7... mines support ap2d not sure about Bluetooth 3.0....

i cant transmit on my tb when its plugged in to my aux port in my car. i can hear just fine through the car speakers.
i did a xda search and Google search, cant find solution.
checked sound settings and tried different kernel.
can i get an assist?

Elaborate on transmit? Do you mean it won't pick up on your voice?
i can hear the person i am calling but they cant hear me. sorry, im in the navy and use the naby lingo
CM 7 1.4.
well, ehen it's plugged in through the aux it's basically the same as plugging in headphones... just instead of it going through headphones, it goes through your car stereo. basically, it's only for audio out from the phone. it will not pick up your voice.

Works like a champ. I have a really good set of headphones I listen to music and audiobooks on. They're very durable and sound pretty good. First set I've had that lasted me more than 4-6 weeks. No inline microphone. Now I can just use the on-board mic.

Been a problem on aosp based roms on the TBolt since launch. Setting the tty works, but the sound is horrible on the other end from what I've noticed.
Thanks ghrubi! I just switched roms for the first time sine the first TheoryRom came out and I was having the same issue.
I've tried the stop music app and player pro. Whenever I'm listening to it myself the music is fine but when I plug my headphones in or it in the car the songs will skip turn off the apps will just turn off and on again. I don't think its the headphone Jack because it works and whenever it doesn't skip the music plays fine :/ any ideas?

I'm running absolution 3.6. I couldn't tell you if this happened before I rooted because I bought it used and just recently put music on my phone and haven't really used headphone but last few days when I plugged it into a car Jack it started acting up. It will skip sings it will skip artist and it will just stop playing overall but it doesn't happen all the time I'd say 3/5 times.

Well if your using abso (yeah I'm on the team over here) then you one of the first to report such an issue that I know of. If you wouldn't mine, please repost in the Absolution Q&A and we can get more minds on this.
Me personally on abso I have used power amp (my fav), stock player, several others, and Google music. It all works perfectly.

Okay I'm on the app ill try to navigate over to there but I wouldn't have thought this as a rom issue but who knows ill try out power amp as well. I am just unsure bc if its a hardware issue then a sensor must be off because just playing through the speakers I don't have problems... ill try Pandora radio today in the car and if it is still acting up ill take it to the Q&A thanks again man

The problem has something to do with your headphones. Jacks can be loose and the phone really doesn't like headphones that doesn't have the extra band on the plug for the mic.
My 2 suggestions are to either use headphones with a mic or install "Headset Blocker" by Roadkill from the Market. It is free and will block those signals telling your music to fast forward or skip to the next track.
I will take a look onto that... I am useing skullcandies and know its not them Haha but the have the second band I will try the app and report back

Well they don't have a mic do they? No you don't have the separate band for a mic.
Sorry about that I misread you saying extra band for a Mic -.- my apologies no they don't have a mic and neither does the male to male cable that I use in the car.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Whether it is a software or a hardware issue, it has always been a issue with the inspire and many other phones.
It is the mic band on your headset plug that is used to switch tracks or fast-forward songs on your phone. When using earphones that connection is now bridged with the ground connection already. Although the phone is supposed to detect headset/ headphones it does it poorly sometimes. So it could be the poor software or simple static bounces due to a loose jack that is causing this to happen.
Using headphones with a mic will isolate this connection and should stop the problem. You could pick up a mic adapter from ebay or any electronics shop that should do the trick too. Or simply use that app mentioned and it will turn the ability off to switch tracks or fast-forward. Or you could use a different music app that doesn't support that feature.
Well I tried it earlier with my headphones and didn't have a problem I also used car mode then went to my music when I was in the car yesterday and it worked so ill just keep the app mentioned always on thank-you guys so much

Looking for something to give me both handsfree calling and allow for audio streaming to my car stereo. I was looking at the tunelink at bestbuy for audio streaming, only it does not provide a handsfree calling solution. I do not have an AUX input otherwise i would use the belkin aircast. Also portability is important. Has anybody come across something that will do both?
hey,
hit up Wireless wave. they have a bluetooth speaker that does exactly what youre looking for. Its made by Jabra
Thanks just saw the same thing at best buy today. The Jabra Freeway. I think I am going to get it. Its a little on the large side as it has 3 speakers, while I don't need any (going to use the fm transmitter) but have not seen anything better yet.

Only certain songs with a particular frequency of mid bass cause just my right channel to have a "bwop" sound on the beat for that particular frequency instead of completely clean sound like I get on the left channel.
I have no dsp settings enabled. This happens in Pandora and PlayerPro, with headphones and through the headphone jack to my car stereo aux. The problem exists at any volume.
I'm running a stable release of cm9 meant for my att skyrocket.
** this even used to happen on my old captivate w/cm7!!** (but on both channels)
I know this sounds like nitpicking but I play all my music through my car stereo and this "bwop" sound makes it sound like I'm blowing a speaker and I'm an audiophile and it kills me to hear something like this when I know there should be something I can do to fix it.
I often listen to electro genre and it happens to use this frequency a lot more often. An example today was Wolfgang Gartner - Montezuma.
I would love any help or ideas

Wondering...
Has this issue always plagued you on cm9 on the skyrocket? Or after a certain update?
It would be strange to say it's ROM related because it happened to you on cm7 and cm9, AND on different devices.. But, have you tried a different ROM on your skyrocket? Same results?
Have you had your hearing checked lately? Lol jk jk..
Seems like an isolated issue. (that I've herd of)
Only other thing I could think of was the peripheral that is playing the sound. Is there other headphones, or another vehicle to test on?
It would bug me.. I have a blown speaker in my car (bad wiring) So I haven't listened to music in it for months.
It's always been on the only rom I've run on this. I'm going to try my girlfriends S3 and see what happens..

I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.
So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.
Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!
I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?
Thanks for any information.
I have the same problem with Pandora over Bluetooth in a Chevy Equinox and on my Beats Box portable. This did Not happen with my HTC Rezound. Does anyone have a fix for this ? Just makes me want to explode !

Hmm. Well that's interesting. Maybe I just got a dud this round. Do you happen to have a car bluetooth that streams media?
FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.
In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.
I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.
