[Q] Bluetooth issue - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've ran into an issue on my galaxy s3 using my jvc bluetooth car radio. I'm rooted running slimbean rom v2.6 and whenever I would use the stock music app or google play it would still play music through my phones speakers while being connected to the radio (it should stream to the car speakers). It shows the song information and all and the controls still work, but it still seems to play through the phone. The only workaround ive found is using winamp for android, but even then my headunit controls dont work and it only displays "00000 stop" on the unit instead of the song information. Is there a fix to this?

I remember having this issue on my gnex. Flashed a different ROM and it started working. I suggest AOKP.

This helped with cm10 before it got added in.
In your build.prop change
lpa.decode=false

I used build.prop editor in the play store to modify the lines.

[Q] bluetooth headphones skip on music play

so hey i just got some "rocketfish" headphones.
i have them charged and they are working perfect with my ipad..
but when i play music on my phone thru them or just tap thru the menu to go somewhere it skips.playing music it skips 2wice every second. and when i tap it takes a second to respond and echos like. could it be the rom? which im using MIUI currently. but i have no idea. if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE - let me knw, and how to fix it
​
MIUI and CM7 both have the same partially working bluetooth issue, there are no ETA on when it will get fixed. If you want to use your headset, then you will need to flash a samsung based rom.

Yea it is. I flashed the doctors rom yesterday. It was good. But I like miui rom better because it's more customizable. And it works with volume + the one that boosts the main speaker. But anyway thanks. I flashed the latest version of the rom. Hopefully. It'll fix the bt issue.

[Q] ICS Bluetooth Problems

Any ROM based on GB worked great when streaming music or phone functions in my car. However, I've tried 3 different ICS ROMs and they all have the same problem. The phone and the car seem to pair just fine but when music starts to play I here a blip, three seconds of nothing, then another blip of music, repeat over and over. The text isn't coming over to the radio either like 2.3.6 did.
Is this a Kernel problem or just ICS in general? Currently I'm using Superlite 5.1 and mohan_kr kernel.
Could anyone shed some light on this for me?
Streaming music via bluetooth works fine for me on ICS...
Could you share which ROM and kernel you're using? Thanks for the reply
Bluetooth works fine for me pre beats audio.
Have not tried post beats audio yet
i am having the same exact problem as the OP

works for me after applying beats.
I was having a similar issue on MHX ICS superlite 5.0 rom. I have a Pioneer AVH-P3400BH headunit, and on ICS it would pair just fine but not send any text over. It would just say "No data provided" on the receiver.
I went back to 2.3.6 because of this and some other big issues I was having with ICS.
Hopefully this is fixed in the final build.
What music player are you using? For me, bluetooth performance took a major step up after installing ics. I can actually turn bluetooth off and on without it totally bugging out on me, and the sound quality increased a lot too.
I had no problems on UCLCA but the newer leak crashes with bluetooth for me.
Edit: I've tried both Sky ICS and NexusMOD UCLD2 versions and had same issue with both. Bluetooth crashes/buzzes/loses connection whenever I try connecting to my JVC Car stereo.
ucld2 has fixed everything for me. Even Google Music plays great and displays the track info on external displays.
I should add that I'm using ics ucld2 embryo-2.0 ROM and everything is working great.
Same issue here. I also noticed if i cleared cache and dalvik it would work until i went to another app or made a call.

CM9 and Car Bluetooth Music Streaming

I'm just wondering if some one else has this same issue and if it has been fixed/worked around somehow.
I'm running CM9 and have a car bluetooth unit. I make and receive calls fine, but oddly, I can only stream music using Apollo and Google Play. All the other apps don't work, pandora, tunein, playerPro, powerAmp, AmazonMP3. This only happens when I try to use my car BT, everything works fine with other regular bluetooth headseats.
Using stock ROM or stock-based ROM (like skyics) everything works fine; all the apps transmit my music to the BT unit without problems.
Ideas?

Actually, I know some BT issues have been reported, not this one in particular. But my main question is if someone has found a fix or way around.
Since I couldn't find anything, I kept researching and discovered it is a sound routing issue in CM that happens with BT car units; regular BT headsets work fine.
I downloaded this app (sound route switcher bluetooth) that forces the sound to be routed to whatever you select. When I select to force the sound through BT, all the music apps transmit fine to my car BT unit.
This particular problem only happens in CM and AOPK. The stock or stock-based roms (like sky ics) route the music properly.
The BT problems have been reported since CM7 but they don't seem to care about it.
I got exactly same problem and I am running CM jelly bean on my samsung S2 the car I have got is toyota camery with stock audio system. I have been looking for the solution but cant find anything on net.

Bluetooth issues - stuttering/skipping

Hi all,
I just got the OPO few days ago and I'm having issues with bluetooth. I use bluetooth in my car to stream music. Everything was working fine on my Nexus 5.
On the OPO i can connect without problems but when playing some music there is some strange stuttering and skipping of music...
Anyone also having this issue ?
I'm thinking this is a software bug as I found out that CM had a lot of issues with bluetooth stuttering...
Bump ?
I haven't had any issues. I've probably steamed at least 12 of audio over Bluetooth so far this week. Being CyanogenMod, I'm not sure if it supports aptx or just a2dp. Either way, no issues here.

What rom? Did you change performance settings? Installed Viper4Android? Anything not stock?
fwiw I found that V4A caused issues with certain settings (convolver enabled, clarity) if low max screen-off frequency was forced. Otherwise my BT doesn't skip at all or lag on two sets of speakers, Sony MDR-1RBT headset and a car stereo.
Does your previous phone have the same prob?

I'm now on Mahdi ROM and I have the same issue. I'm streaming via bluetooth into a FM transmitter (http://www.newpotatotech.com/TUNELINK_ANDROID/tunelink_android.html). It was working fine with my Nexus 5.
I don't think I changed anything... I will try to troubleshoot it again, but I think it must be some software bug..

Atleast we are not alone. Hope it gets fixed soon.
I also have issues with Bluetooth, I use Poweramp as my media player and have it set to autoplay when it connects to BT but when it connects, it plays a brief second and stops. I have to manually play the music.
I also noticed it only sends the first song metadata rather than change every time I play something different... Annoying.
had similar problems with both my S4 and Z1 on CM (using both since one is my private and one my business mobile) Both are now on PAC (7/10/2014) and even before that i did not have the bluetooth issues with them on PAC. try it out - there is a PAC for the One (which i will use as well when mine arrives this week (hopefully))
or try with omnirom - they use a different BT implementation

Could you give us a link to the PAC ?
Check bacon-1005 on jira and vote it up. Cyan-4147 was reported specifically for the m7 and it's gki_Linux errors. There are some patches I'm testing to isolate the cause of the stuttering. Don't worry you all are not the only ones with the issue.

Yes got to have good bluetooth in call reception, every other rom i tried terrible.
PAC rom bluetooth quality?
Can anyone confirm that PAC rom has fixed the problem of bad quality BT audio?
I am runnig the stock CM rom - now rooted, but the problem has been there all the time since I got the phone. The sound quality is not acceptabe with my Lexus RX 450h handsfree for the outbound call audio, that is I can hear quite well, but the other person can not.
My old phone Galaxy Nexus worked just fine, so there has to be something wrong with OPO's bluetooth.
Guys user: BIOYAM
Found a fix that worked for him and for me. You can try this:
Install SetCPU (I used a free app No-frills Cpu controll) with Governor: Interactive, CPU: Max 2265MHZ & Min 652
This totally stopped my bluetooth audio issues. Of course you need to be rooted to use these tools.
Hope this helps. :good:
Problem solved!
Hey problem solved
I had bluetooth pairing and buffering problems and now everything works perfectly. what I did was flash OPO_OxygenOS_1_0-modem-flashable.zip (you can find it somewhere in google docs..don't remember the link)
anyway after doing that everything works perfectly.
I am running cyanogen 12.1 nightly build from 20150601
then I flashed the modem.

Best Free Music Player that doesn't hiccup on local media?

One of the quirks of our idol 3 is that when playing music from sd card it occasionally hiccups which can be very annoying. I'm told that Poweramp has the ability to "adjust audio priority" and get around this issue. I'd like to know if there are any free players that can also get around this issue? It's VERY annoying in the car both for music and audiobooks.
i listens to songs everyday to and back from work but yet to hear stuttering with default player. could it be sd card?
saw the other thread your on bluetooth. havent tried that yet.

It may be a Bluetooth issue. I had the exact same issue with my OnePlus One when it was connected to Bluetooth on my Pioneer FH-X700BT stereo in my car. That is a good description of the audio playback "hiccuping". I actually have never tried using an Aux line from the audio jack to this same stereo, but I don't recall it skipping during playback on headphones, but I don't use headphones much either. I have an Aux cable at home. I'll try it later or maybe tomorrow and let you know what I find.
Just found this on Reddit about the same thing happening to others using Galaxy Note 4 and other phones when using Bluetooth as well.
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/364vo3/has_anyone_had_any_bluetooth_hiccups_especially/
I use MixZing for static MP3's and I like it. I use Pandora One for streaming audio and love it. Listen everyday. Speaking of Pandora, they just updated their app this weekend and they returned the lock screen widget! I think it was not included on the lockscreen within Lollipop? My KitKat phone had and still has it.

Interesting.. I have the same unit in my car and have experienced this as well. I noticed it would do this with my LG Volt when streaming Spotify on BT. I haven't really tested it with this phone yet so I'm not sure if the issue will still be there. I'll have to check it out.
I read some articles indicating you can either 1) keep screen on or 2) keep wifi off to prevent the skip. Something about bluetooth priority dropping while in sleep mode.....now they may be on to something...the battery saver I use doesn't keep wifi on all the time but it does occasionally turn it on to look for familiar hotspots to connect to....it's possible my skips are occuring when wifi is coming on.....another user reported calls had issues as well on bluetooth when wifi was on.
I listen to media on my sd card through headphones and speakers and I'm still noticing the stuttering when WiFi is off. I have noticed that it's a lot less frequent after the update though.
I use n7player, and what I found out about it amazes me.. The actual sound is better with this app than any other on stock rom, and I tried over 20 players including poweramp,shuttle (similar sound q with no folder search in free ver), equalizer+, google music, jbl music app and all the apps you can find in google play store from 0 to 100 in top section..
The menu is intuitive with name chose method, and also looks nice.. Features like equaliser, play on when headphones plugged in, etc are also here..

Interesting. I'll have to experiment with this a little. I used N7Player for awhile a couple of years ago, but I didn't like the excess of it and all the files it left strewn in every audio directory I had. Mostly, I use Music Folder Player Full and have most of the time over the last few years. It's clean, simple, to the point. What it doesn't offer, I don't want, anyway. But I don't think I've compared audio quality between different apps.
I may install Viper 4 Android on a different phone and see what that does. That's not a player, of course.
This phone + viper4 + music app in your choice is a win combo.. Just wondering if we ever get viper4

I've flashed installable zip's of viper4android on some of my other devices....as long as you take a backup first there shouldn't be any issues.
Viper 4 A works on idol3, before that you have to change build.prop lines, selinux to permissive and istall busybox.
EDIT : Now can used without selinux set to permissive, just flash the zip trough recovery

I had this problem with my OnePlus One device and the only thing that completely fixed the "hiccuping" was to go to Bluetooth and disable "Phone", only having "Media" selected. It's like it was receiving interference from the phone via bluetooth.
