intermittent bluetooth audio on ICS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hi all,
I am having an issue with my Skyrocket streaming bluetooth to my toyota prius and am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar (I have been searching the forums with no success).
When I was on Gingerbread, the bluetooth audio streaming to my Toyota Prius was working fine. I recently upgraded to the leaked ICS builds and for the first week it seemed to be ok but I am now experiencing (for lack of a better way to describe it) intermitent bluetooth audio. About 90% of the time when I play music in my car it sounds like there are long pauses/drop outs (If I continually do pause/play it sometimes works). The really strange thing is that it initially worked fine and even now if I try my motorola headset it works perfectly. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there are any suggestions on how to fix it? I have tried multiple versions of the ICS ROMS and the issue seems to be persistant across all of them.
Skyrocket currently running the NexusMod rom (having tried many more) and have tried to clear the cache (both of them), fix the permissions, and superwipe/reinstall the various roms.
Thanks,
Dave

Pandora skipping

For some reason when I use Pandora with my bluetooth headset and turn the screen off the music starts to pause and freeze. I don't understand why because it works just fine with my HD2. I am running Bionix not sure if that has anything to do with it. It seems as though screen off makes the data less stable.
I've reflashed the rom. Tried EB. Changed kernels. Fixed permissions. Reinstalled Pandora. The music playback is always flakey through bluetooth is there some sort of issue with the bluetooth stack in the roms for our phone? If anyone has any information or how they got rid of this issue please let me know.
pandora problem
i am having a similar issue, except im not using Bluetooth and still experiencing major skipping while listening to pandora? does anyone know what could be causing this,my data speeds are great and im using evils rom which seems fairly stable.

[Q] CM7 - No Sound For Bluetooth Phone Audio

I cannot hear the other party during a phone call routed through my MW600 bluetooth headset. The other party can hear me, and if I switch to speaker (front or back) everything works fine.
Streaming media works fine.
The headset/phone combo worked fine in ClearDroid (but GPS didn't, which is why I switched to CM7)
I have CM7 08082011 build GRJ90 on my phone. I did a complete wipe (factory reset, Dalvik, cache partition) before installing the ROM. I've tried it with and without the audio/gps fix. I've reset my headset, rebooted my phone, deleted the pairing - no worky. I've also used a couple of radios (including the recommended one), and both have the same result.
Is there a patch or some other fix for this?

Baseband and CM7 Build?

Which radio and version of CM7 are you using?
radio: 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
mod: CM7-7.1.0-RC1-inspired-pirate (it was just built last night)
I'm guessing that's something you cooked yourself?
How long have you used bluetooth with that ROM? Have you (or anyone else viewing) ever had a problem with it with this ROM?
Trying to find out if reflashing would be likely to fix it...
Thanks!

since i only built the rom the night before last, 1 whole day (used bluetooth all day yesterday, and last night). i have never had any bluetooth issues on any of the CM7 roms though. i use bluetooth in my car daily. every time i get in and start my car it connects. i use google music and pandora, and make phone calls through my stereo
Thanks for your response; I wiped, reflashed and it's working great.
For anyone else who may have this problem, I found the actual cause.
I reinstalled all my apps and the problem came back; process of elimination showed that my phone call recording app, AutoCallRecorder was causing the problem. I disabled the Use Microphone option, and the problem went away.
Thanks again, pirate. I feel like an idiot for not thinking about that app before.

Car Bluetooth problem ICS/JB (WORK AROUND SOLUTION)

Issue for me is car bluetooth, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting like every minute, the whole thing just does not work properly.
BUT SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR ANY ROM< I MEAN ANY.
Just plug your phone to a charger in the car and thats it. it prevents deep sleep and it will not drain you battery as it's charging.
!!!Suggestion, if you have a usb slot in the car, use it to charge the phone, as cigarette lighter charger most likely will create a wake lock that will prevent your phone going to DP after you exit the car.
Res.
I appreciate all your efforts.
I'm one of those with bluetooth issues only on UCLD2 when connecting to my JVC car stereo to play Pandora or other Internet radio. I have not tested or used MP3 stuff.
I tried Mohans ROM, then update, then the beats audio, then the UCALC4 kernel. All in that order, testing each time. None worked for me.
Thanks though
I've also tried the bluetooth fixes 1 & 2 from Seanz's ROM from last week. Have not tried the 10 version yet. But some others are saying it didn't resolve this particular issue either.

I got it to work and then it stooped again, then got it to work again so it seems to be ok right now.
I will post more detailed instructions in about an hour please check back.

Yep, U10 does not work on my phone. I just don't want to take away anything from Sean as he does great work, so can't say 100% it does not work, it just does not for me in this case.
I believe you are correct on the culprit being the music player.
I have been on Sean's Roms (update 9 for a few weeks and then upgraded to 10 whenever it came out). I stream to a Ford Sync system (2010) and I have not had any problems. 10, in particular, seems great. I use the phone handsfree via bt and stream music (Slacker radio) to and fro work. Also been using btooth inside the house to stream Slacker to a speaker system. No problems there either. But I have NOT used the music player app at all...

See I am scared to think it's FORD soft. that is the problem, as that would be so much harder to fix, they just came up with an update and new one is not coming. And it worked on Sean's ROM up until Update 7, which base of his are you using the GMAIL/no limit or exchange server one?
Also it has something to do with Music Player or files on the Leak, as sometimes it messes with USB input music and cant read the USB, and I disconnect the phone ant USB starts working.
Have you received a USB from FORD recently to update the software?

Interesting Find:

It supports KJ2, so maybe ICS is a problem(( But at the same time it supports ICS on other devices.

I think the usb update mailed for Ford is for later models (or mine hasn't arrived yet). For the 2010 there was only one update showing (Sync My Ride) and it was already installed when I purchased the truck.
No question the Ford Sync is "twitchy". My former phone (Atrix) would disconnect the btooth intermittently when streaming Slacker and would skip, often. I haven not (knock on wood) had these problems and I use the steering wheel control to skip songs.

yea my Edge is 2011, I got the update like a month ago, but everything was working fine.
Well I hope it's the leak issue, or I'll have to go back to GB, or run a Sean's older ICS with no deep sleep, can;t not have phone in the car and have music mess up my USB.
Since EMBRYO was mentioned. Anyways, I can only comment on FORD Sync (since the other one drives the edge). Make sure you have the latest Sync Update that rolled out couple of months ago (I believe it is v 3.2.2, I will have to double check). I have had zero issues, connecting with BT as fars as voice calling goes (of course on EMBRYO 2.3), but then I don't use the Car daily. With Embryo 2.3, you should be able to send text message not that useful unless you use the prebuilt templates, that comes with the UCLD2 base. I am looking into what it takes to get full MAP support in the next update, no promises, I need time. Also, I have not streamed music through so can't say. Also, the device recognizes PAN BT tethering, but the sync craps out, I am suspecting it is SYNC issue.

Wow, much appreciated mohan, I do drive the Ford Edge it has SYNC on it, they call it My Touch or something. Is that different then in your car? I did get the update on USB and it's installed, not sure which version. I am making an appointment for the dealer to reinstall it as well. I found a Sync PDF
The problem is when I connect to it, the BT Stereo has issue it does not work or if it works usb does not work, then pretty much the phone disconnects and connect all the time, every like 1-2 min.
I would defiantly flash your ROM right now would you recommend UCLD2 or the other Kernel for this? no matter what files I delete in root or how I rename the phone, BT Stereo still connect to the name of the phone I had a while back. How can I just format everything and do a fresh install of your ROM, I mean like everything? or that would mass it up?
I am even willing to go to Stock GB tar and then root and do everything again.
I found this PDF, Ford Sync only supports KJ2 on skyrocket, have no idea what that means
http://www.nsapp.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/sync/usEN/sync_us_EN_iop_2_00.pdf
Also, I hope I did not do anything wrong here or offender anyone by Mentioning Embryo as a possible fix.

See the ROM post #3 (question 1) for a fresh flash. I would highly recommend it, whichever ICS ROM you flash.

Possibly, but not for everyone.
In my case, I can feel the phone crashing DURING the initial bluetooth connection to my car stereo. The phone actually vibrates a few times while I'm setting up the pair connection.
But it stays connected until I start up iHeart Radio or Pandora or any other Internet Radio.
I don't use Music Player for anything and have never tested it either.
I'm having a similar problem connecting my phone's Bluetooth to my JVC stereo. When I turn on bluetooth, the phone is fine, but once I pair it (media and phone), it vibrates, works for about 10-15 seconds, then restarts the bluetooth. When it restarts, it is not paired by default, but if I re-pair only the media to the JVC, it works perfectly. It seems to be a problem with using bluetooth for the phone.
I've been using Sky ICS (through update 10), and none of the fixes posted before have worked (including freezing the stock music app). And for the record, Embryo 2.3 has the exact same problem with my handset and stereo.
EDIT: Correction above. I was able to get media to work once using the method described above, but I was not able to repeat this.
I can confirm that Sky ICS UCLC4 4.2-A-9 solves all of the Bluetooth problems that I have been having with both phone and media pairing to my JVC stereo. Note that this is the outdated UCLC4 ROM. I haven't found any UCLD2 ROMs that fix the BT issues for me yet, but I hope one of them does soon.

yep, that's the case the first leak is ok, but it has it's own problems.
This thread specified only Second Leak.
It's been confirmed that if you follow mohan's instructions to do a fresh install in Embryo 2.3 and I mean oneclick and the rest, everything will work great on UCLD2. I have not done it yet myself, no time, but soon hopefully today.

IT"S A BUG on all three leaks.
You may not experience it at all, it ma only happen once in a while, or every minute, it can fix itself for some time.
Nothing is possible, just need to hope Rogers Official Release will work. (when it comes out)

P6810 HK ICS Build & Bluetooth

I have the HK P6810. Since upgrading to the HK ICS build I noticed that my tablet no longer auto-connects to my previously paired Bluetooth speaker when I power it on. I now have to manually connect in under Bluetooth settings every time I want to use it. I didn't see any advanced settings related to this. It was great to finally get ICS, but I really miss this feature.
I also noticed some lag or interruption during music playback with Play Music (music stored locally, not streaming) at least once per use. It's just a random blip--nothing constant or unbearable, but my music never seemed to skip a beat with stock Gingerbread.
Anyone else notice these issues with Bluetooth on ICS? Am I perhaps missing something? I was hoping there was a workaround or maybe that other regional ICS builds don't have these issues and that I could flash one of them.

same as me, very annoying and I downgrade back to 3.2. I did a search on Internet because of the Bluetooth hardware incompatibility issue.
Thanks for the response. I thought of downgrading but it's really convenient having chrome browser and bookmark syncing--really the only feature in ICS I was dying to have.
I'd assume others have this issue also. Unless no one uses bluetooth speakers or headsets with their tab? Either that other regional builds don't have this problem.
Would very much appreciate more feedback in regard to ICS bluetooth experience from other users.

Well, I found there is update on 2012-09-25, as there is download of latest firmware after I open Kies and the version number is v12.09.25.
Let me try if they fixed those issue.
Thanks!
one week with my bluetooth earpiece and no problems so far.

[Q] Factors affecting bluetooth

So I've made a couple posts about my problems with bluetooth audio streaming, but I have a bit of a different question this time. I have been trying a multitude of AOSP roms (4.1, 4.2, and 4.3) trying to get my bluetooth audio to work properly. I have had no luck, the audio is super choppy and distorted.
Recently I tired the Eclipse 5.1 ROM which another user told me specifically his bluetooth audio streaming was fine (on the same model phone!). I did a 100% clean install, I wiped everything, including internal & external storage. I tried fixing permissions (which he said he did to get it to work), and nothing. I still get choppy audio over BT. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? What is there beyond the ROM that would affect BT?? I even tried CM 10, which is 4.1 (a version with the old BT stack implemented) and still got choppy audio!! The only thing that seems to work for me is TouchWiz roms.
One thing I notice, and I'm not sure this affects anything, is when I boot into download mode in the binaries line it says "(3 count)"
If anyone has any light to shed on this it would be awesome!
Thanks so much.
