Recently I got a new vehicle (Toyota RAV4) so I connected my s3. Via Bluetooth. However every rom Ive tried, both tw and aosp have this crackle and pop (snap?) coming through the speakers. I dont know if this is a problem with the phone or the car or rom, kernel, etc but am looking for suggestions. Thanks.

I bought my first GS3 pre order. I had the same crackle coming through any Bluetooth device I used. Since I stream Sirius all day, every day it was a huge issue. So I called vzw and they replaced with a brand new one. But, I was within the first 15 days of purchase. They documented the issue so they should know that some units have this issue. Get it replaced.
I called Verizon and their answer was that it has been a reported issue and that they are working on it with Samsung. I asked about replacing it but their answer was that it would basically continue to happen with the new one they send me and a software issue is the key. Did your replacement fix the issue?

Had the same crackle when I first received my S3 with a headset, but not with veh or home dongles. VZW said it has to be the headset. Funny thing is it was only 2 months old and worked like a champ on my DX. Tried a couple of other devices, no problems. Last resort was a factory reset, just for the sake of trying it. Resync'd all BT devices and never had a problem since. Definitely not a confirmed fix, but if kicking the side of the TV worked for dad, I'll give it a try.
Verizon is sending me a new one. I explained that if this was such a small scale issue, then it must be hardware. Otherwise more people would have reported it. And If Im wrong then I'll still have a new unit and will wait for a software patch. Either way I win.

Edit: On a whim I loaded cleanROM and no Bluetooth crackle. This is amusing at best.

I found that I got rid of bluetooth crackle by increasing voltages on my custom kernels (i switch between lean kernel and ktoonz). Seems like certain S3s have this problem when running below certain voltages. Currently have my lowest voltages at 925mv and progressive increase with steps, but I read the normal magic number is 1150. Try increasing your base voltages to 1150 (if your on custom rom and kernel of course) and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, you can experiment with lower voltages until the crackle reappears, to find your phones sweet spot.

Have also seen it fixed with kernel changes.
Hmmm. I will try this..

So I received my replacement and it works perfectly as stock. I rooted and deleted a number of bloatware apps too.
There is no hiss or crackle from either the headset jack or Bluetooth media, Pandora or other third party apps.

So, I'm confused about this:
On CM10, Bluetooth didn't work AT ALL. But I don't know if the 10/12 nightly had the right bluetooth decoding values.
On LiquidSmooth, I could get some audio now, but with constant crackling.
On ParanoidAndroid, I get audio, no problems.
What's the difference here? Is it just voltages? Should I just ask Verizon for a new device? It's been 5 days since I activated this one.

Yeah, I thought I had it working until last night when it crapped out again.
I actually regret going from the iphone to android right now. No single phone seems to be well made.
By experimenting on my drive in, this is entirely related to voltages/CPU speed. I don't have voltage control right now, but just kept upping my core clock until the crackling stopped. Around 900mhz everything became fine. Below 900, BT audio would pop. BT calls would last a few minutes, before suddenly dropping from my car. The car would still show being connected to BT, but the call would suddenly be on the handset.

I can agree with your findings. I have had issue with the bluetooth audio crackling with multiple roms and kernels. I found that by increasing your min voltage to at least 1026MHz that it will make the crackling go away (I am running slim 2.7 / lk v1.4). On some CM10 builds (without flashing a custom kernel), I have noticed that I don't even need to set the min voltage and works just fine. I use bluetooth everyday (car/home/work) and it gets some what irritating when I have to set the min voltage higher every time I connect to bluetooth. Is there any way you can set a custom profile to set the min voltage? I currently use Rom Toolbox Pro and it does not have an option to choose a custom profile for bluetooth. I also tried SetCPU App but it does not seem to work when I set the custom profile with the music app that I use. Any ideas to set a custom profile whenever I connect to bluetooth? Any help would be much appreciated
Just call Verizon and explain your issue. I had the same problems on any Rom and I tested in on several vehicles. They shipped me a new one the next day and no issues.

Is it possible to overlook and use Bluetooth device? I thought a kernel was to be released that would allow 1.2 ghz overclock and Bluetooth.

Nexus S already has Bluetooth (it is hardware not software). Look for buglesspete GPA18, or go to http://download.peteralfonso.com/ Crespo Nightlies are for GSM(T-Mobile) and Crespo4g is for CDMA (sprint). This rom does overclocking
What I meant was my phone reboots when overclocked. Is there a software fix? Or is this strictly a hardware issue?
Sent from my Google Nexus S 9020a using XDA App
do it
Give the rom I suggested a try, it comes with a kernel. Do a nandroid backup and a full wipe before installing it
Will test. I will overclock to 1.2ghz and use Bluetooth audio in car to test. Hopefully I can get through more than 2 songs before a reboot. Or better yet no reboot at all.

is it reboot it means that your phone cannot handle the extra MHz with the given voltage, try to increase voltage a bit.
Ding,ding,ding we have a winner. Set all voltages up by one increment on sliders. Bluetooth running flawless for three songs now.

I've got one. When I use Google play music using tbe headphone jack, the first song i play works fine. (meaning it plays through whatever i have it plugged into, i. e., headphones, car speakers) But as soon as the next song comes on it bypasses the jack and plays out the phone's speakers. Im running stock rooted K3. only happens on that app. ive uninstalled and reinstalled. ive done a hard reset. Any ideas? thanks much. Oh yeah, when the second song plays through the speakers if I pause and play it then goes through the jack.

Unfortunately this has been a bug since the first Jelly Bean leak.
You can try enabling "Audio Output Mode" in Settings > Accessories, but I've not personally tried that. I only heard of it as a suggestion.
You could do what I did and put all your music on your phone and use PowerAMP. I know its kind of silly that simple audio output doesn't work but that's the way it is. You could also switch to an AOSP ROM to correct it.

Is it all the time? When my gf uses her phone through the car speakers with the aux to talk to me, I sometimes hear my voice echo.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
it is all the time, no using bluetooth or anything, jsut regular call, it's done this on stock ICS ROM, and every TW ROM since...
I just traded it in for a new one today (since was within 14 days) it did this on the two testers in the store and on the new one, so to me. its the phone.
after much research, it seems this helps
Call dialer-settings-advance settings-turn off noise reduction.
When I connect my phone via bluetooth or aux no Pandora information is displayed on the dash, Google music displays information fine. I remember running across a thread one time where there was a possible fix if you were rooted...at the time I read the thread I wasn't rooted so I didn't pay much attention....now I am rooted, running cleanrom. Any ideas? It's not a huge deal but it sure would be nice if it worked.
Well aux isn't a type of connection to display information like that. I'm rooted running clean rom and pandora displays just fine on my pioneer lcd screen in my car via bluetooth. So it use to work but doesn't anymore after having rooted and running clean rom?

It's never worked. I've Googled a bit and read some threads on it working with CM 10 (other phones) so it's obviously a file or setting somewhere.....this is the kind of little tiny thing that can give me ocd
No I understand lol You're sure that you car is capable of displaying pandora information? Have you tried with another phone? It's working me but not sure. Is there any settings in the car?

I have no idea if works with another phone. The car as far as I know does not have any "advanced" bluetooth settings but I could be wrong. I have no idea if it's capable of displaying Pandora info but it was built in 2013 so I would hope it is. I will check with the dealership but I don't see why G Music would work but Pandora would not.
My 2012 Jetta has never displayed Pandora music info on the screen. I've used a droid RAZR, HTC rezound and my gs3. But my friends iPhone 4 does display the info in my car. So I'm assuming its an android issue not a specific ROM issue.

In doing a bit of googling, the Pandora android app doesn't have AVRCP metadata support...meaning it doesn't send the info to be displayed. However some one has a github showing how to alter the Pandora app so it will.
On the bottom of the first post in this Honda Civic forum (sorry) http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/au...-support-android-album-track-information.html the OP posted an altered Pandora that will stream data. Try it.
Oh yeah, CM has yet to merge the Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 (and it may be quite a while, so I've read). So even if you do download the modded Pandora, it won't work with CM. And that applies to any rom that uses CM as a base.
That works! Unfortunately I don't think I can handle the ads... Thanks for your post!

The One Mini seems to be having some microphone issues with the CyanogenMod. In my case Viber is very silent and people on the other end can barely hear me. Regular phone calls work fine but only if I'm not using hands-free, with the hands-free the mic problem appears again.
I'm waiting to see if this will be fixed once a stable version of the CM11 is released, we can't expect everything to be working flawlessly with nightly builds
