Hello
I just purchased an S3 a few days ago, i love the phone. However, i am having alot of problems with streaming bluetooth audio in my car.
I have no problems with it connecting, auto-connecting, or pairing. Phone calls sound fine, there is no drop in quality. However, when i turn on media audio streaming, my music begins to play, and while songs are playing there will be intermitent hiccups in sound, like a cd skipping pretty much, and the sound quality seems to have dropped from the previous phone i had used, sometimes i can hear crackling/static in the background (DROID 3).
Has anyone else experienced this, i've been browsing the internet on this issue that past few days and haven't found anything conclusive.
I have the exact same problem, unfortunately I don't know of any fix yet

I have a Sony Ericsson A2DP Headset. It connects fine for both calls and for listening to music. There is however one small annoying issue.
If I'm listening to music (generally I have to have the volume up quite high) and a phonecall comes in and I take the call; something weird happens when the call ends.
The bluetooth connection is dropped and basically everyone in the vicinity gets and earful of whatever music I was playing before the call. This can be pretty bad if I'm sitting at one of our quiet, open plan offices. If I press the play buttin on my headset it reconnects and audio comes in over the headset again but it's not good to have to do this after every call.
Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Whenever I encounter a quirky bluetooth problem, deleting the pair relationship and repairing sometimes helps.
Works fine for me... Could be headset specific, as I use Motorola S9's and Plantronics 855's without the issue you're having.
It does it for me too. After the phone call the music is played through the phone's speaker for just a couple of seconds, then gets transferred to the headset in mono for a couple of seconds before reverting back to normal.
I can see this would be annoying if you were in a quiet place.
Sony Headset
and me, funnily enough I have a Samsung MP3 player and the headset works perectly with that - good old HTC
I tried pairing the Infinity with my newly purchased LG HBS-700 headset.

The sound quality is fantastic, but unfortunately, the audio is siginificantly out of sync with any video. I first tried Youtube which resulted in delayed audio in all the videos. I read on here that people were having issues because Bluetooth and Wifi on this device share the same antenna. I then tried watching a 1080p mkv from a Class 10 microSD card using BS Player. This resulted in the same audio delay. I then turned off Wifi and reopened the movie file. The audio delay was the same. So it appears that the Bluetooth lag we are experiencing is independent of Wifi usage. I really hope this is fixable as I bought this headset with the Infinity in mind.
I should point out that I then tested the headset with my Galaxy Nexus. I streamed the same Youtube videos with good results. There might be some lag, but it is so small that I can hardly detect it.
For those of you with Bluetooth audio headsets or speakers, use this Youtube clip to gauge your audio lag.

With my Galaxy Nexus, the clap sound is around the 0 mark. With the Infinity, the clap sound is at +3 or +4.
Bump for anyone who can test this.
I just paired my LG HBS-700s to my Galaxy Tab 10.1. And guess what?
NO AUDIO LAG!
With my Galaxy Tab, Youtube audio is spot on as well. No problem with Wifi and Bluetooth running simultaneously. This tells me that this must be a software issue on the Infinity that needs fixing ASAP.
I have a Jam box and I can confirm that the audio is out of sync 1~2 secs on all apps (games, YouTube, Google music, etc).
Same apps with my Gnexus no lags.
I have had the S4 for about 4 days now and I use my Big Jambox to stream Pandora music to. I noticed that when I get an alert for anything whether email, text etc...it pauses Pandora (as it should) but will not continue playing and I have to disconnect and reconnect to my Jambox to get it to play through the speaker again. I have used this same speaker with about 10 other phones and this is the first time I have seen this.
Any thoughts?
How is the Bluetooth audio quality on the S6? I use many wireless headphones and speakers so this is an important factor for me. Is it true that the Bluetooth audio randomly stops sometimes?
Mine randomly starts to skip and pop after some time playing. Turning the BT off/on fixes it for a while.
The problem is worse when paired with my Bēm speaker, rare when paired with my JBL speaker, and nonexistent when paired with my Sony soundbar.
All of these speakers work fine with my other devices.
I only use bluetooth with my truck's stock stereo, but this is the first Android device I've had paired with it that doesn't skip over BT. I've used it with S6, Note 3, Note 4, S5 Active, S4 Active and iPhone 6+. iP6+ was the only other one that didn't skip.
S5 Active and Note 3 also skip with a Jensen BT Nav headunit in a different vehicle.
An update to my previous comment..
I went for an hour-long drive and experienced no skipping or popping while paired to my car's stereo.
It seems the issues are only with specific Bluetooth receivers/speakers.
I can get on-board with this. I have a few different bluetooth devices, all of which have no trouble, ever, but then sometimes (and ONLY sometimes) my BT headphones will skip and stutter to the point that I just turn them off. The other devices work fine 100% of the time.
I'm at my wit's end with the bluetooth on this device. It skips and stutters more times than not. It's embarrassing when friends are over and we're trying to have some background music playing.

No BT problems here. Maybe you have a defective phone. Take it back to the store and try to exchange it. There is no excuse for crappy BT on a $700+ device.
My wife has an S6 also, with the same issues.
I have FINALLY noticed an issue with the BT on my phone. When connected to my truck and listening to music, I go to a call (incoming or outgoing doesn't matter), when the call ends and goes back to the music, the volume "flutters". It goes low/high/low/high alternating twice a second. It's a very slight change, but it's enough to notice that it sounds "weird".
Exiting and restarting PowerAMP, or switching to a different input then back to the BT audio stream will fix it, so I haven't figured out if it's the phone or my truck.
Hello, my name is Zineron, more known as Zinnye. I just fixed a MotoG for me, it works normally, except the audio. The phone keeps Switching between Wired Headset and Speakers, I only noticed that after i went to watch some videos at youtube, and the sound kept failing, because of that bug. The thing is: I can still watch videos, listen to music, play games, but only when the headset is connected. If the Headset is not connected, it keeps switching between Speakers and Wired Headset.
I've been searching around the internet a while, and i found a lot of people with the same problem, but with them, the bug only happens when the headset is connected, so they couldn't help me.
My phone is a MotoG, running android 5.0.2(Lollipop), and it's not rooted or anything.
