[Q] Audio lag over bluetooth - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have read all the other threads about this...but wanted to bring this up on out RAZR HD forum.
The phone is great so far... It has been a whole new android experience for me since the Xperia Play ICS update cancellation, but something I really miss from my Xperia is using my bluetooth headset for movies and gaming...
On this phone (XT925) the lag over bluetooth is annoying... and the fact that It came without any wired headset and that I can't use my Samsung Jet or Xperia Play handsfree headsets because the phone does not recognize them, make it even worse
So far I noticed the problem on 3rd party apps, because the lag is present on all games and downloaded video players (like Mobo), If I use the Stock video or audio player the lag disappears completely... too bad the stock player doesnt allow subtitles via SRT files...
Gaming is awful with the Lag... but I cant live without the sound anyway...
I'm using a Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth headset with my RAZR HD... and I love this little device, I'm also concerned why It was able to fully work on my previous phone (Xperia Play, rooted GB 2.3.4) and not on a more advanced OS version.
Is there any workaround for this? I don't know maybe a way to make the stock player read ther SRT subtitles files or to make thr mobo player compesate the LAG?
Thanks for your help

Aside from trying to re-pair, I'm not sure if there's anything you can do.
The bright side is that we should be getting the JB update soon. With that will surely come new bluetooth binaries. Hopefully, it makes things better for you.

Bluetooth A2DP annoying problem with WMP/TF3D & S2P

Hi all,
I have an O2 stereo BT headset which is 1 year old. I used it with my prophet previously just fine with S2P. No problems when I press play etc.
Since using it on my Touch Pro, when I press play on it, both WMP/tf3d player would play simulatneously. I have to stop s2p. It is annoying to say the least. I would like to continue to use S2P than wmp/tf3d.
How come I'm having this conflict & what to do about it?
Thanks
Posted it here because I thought it may be a general question rather than a problem with S2P.
I have the same problem...
I am having the same problems and from the research it looks like the profile for the blue tooth is set to always call up Window Media. I have been using Mort Player with no issues on an older model S9 motorola stereo headset. Now with the new one no go!!! always calls up Windows Media.
I have tried different media players - looks like there was a version of pocket player 4 that bypassed this issue and cut off Windows media player. Unfortunately it jsut doesn't work for my Touch Pro 6.1 stock rom.
i am thinking if anyone out there can make this fix available it must be the XDA people...
Anyone have suggestions, hack, new profile that can fix this annoying issue??? Please???
i thought no body else had this issue but i'm sure other people have it as well.
thanks for the research. tried looking in the registry for a2dp profiles and wmp, but no luck.

Media players & Bluetooth Controls

Has anyone noticed if bluetooth headphone buttons can control any other music players other than the HTC Player since the update?
I have tried several music apps (Mixzing, Meridian and a few others) that support a2dp control but my headphones will only control the default player. I have even removed the HTC music player completely from the phone (hoping that the button control would get reassigned to another app) but then the button just doesn't work at all.
The only clue I have comes from the "mixzing" player forum:
http://mixzing.freeforums.org/post92.html?hilit=bluetooth#p92
I got my headphones (Sony Erricson HBH-IS800) after the update was released so I don't know whether or not this is new behavior?
I'm just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this. I'm not a big fan of the default player and would like to get away from it.
I should add that I am using the "Unofficial" Modaco/Obelisk79 2.1c ROM and also the Optimization made by ruskiyab.
I'm curious too. My previous phone (Palm Pre) allowed whatever music app was playing to be controlled via BT. This included Pandora which was very convenient in the car.

I can't get it to work with any other media player including Pandora.
I think I may make a nandroid backup and then flash back to pre-update stock to see if there's any difference.
Don't bother. I checked that my first day with stock ROM. Functions exactly as the custom ROM's do.

Lol! Thanks for the warning. I was about to attempt it while sitting here at Jiffy Lube.
There's got to be a way to fix this. The guy who posted on the mixzing forum sounded like he was onto something with the button priority assignments for the different media players. I don't know how to change these and probably should not mess with it anyway.

A very weired problem!!

Hey guys,
I just got my Captivate yesterday and today I discovered a very weird and annoying problem. Everyday at work I download a podcast from a radio talk-show. It works fine on my iPod and my old SE Xperia X10 but on my new Samsung something is going wrong. For some reason when the hosts are talking the quality of the sound in the right earbud is horrible you can barely understand them, but here comes the funny part, when they play music everything is fine there is non a difference between L and R. If anyone can explain what the heck is going one I would be glad do listen. I've tried a different media players and different headphones but no luck.
Here is the website with the podcasts:
cronica.primatv.ro/podcast/
(add the http part because I cannot post link - I'm a new user)
Probably you wont understand what are they talking about. But if somebody with another Samsung Captivate can do a test I would be glad to hear what the results are.
Can't help with that problem but I can with another.....it's spelled weird.
Oh...c'on man... English is my third language
Check the Effects in the settings for the default music player. Also, there is a 5.1 surround icon in the top left when playing music/audio. Tap that to disable 5.1
this might help
If the sound is fine on the left earbud with the podcast, my guess would be it has something to do with the one being a mono broadcast and the other being stereo.
does the podcast have multiple audio streams? There are a few that require you to select one or the other, otherwise you get both at the sametime. Depending on how the podcast is recorded, one audio stream may only go to the left or right channel, while the other is stereo.
Hey guys, thx all for the input. I played around with the setting and still no luck. About the mp3 file, I opened it in a wave editor and is absolutely fine both channels are fine. The file is stereo @ 96kbps. This is very odd!!!
Have you tried playing it through the phones speaker, How does it sound then? Besides that u may be SOL
Yeah I can verify the problem. Right channel plays fine on my PC but parts of it are choppy on the phone. The music seems fine, just the spoken dialogue is broken.
Is it Just That pod cast or others as well?

[Q] MaxxAudio, possible to use system-wide?

One of the features I was most excited about the incremental OTA bringing was the new MaxxAudio audiofx. It works very well, I'd say on par with Viper4Android (albeit with less options), but there is a big caveat, it only works with certain apps like Google Play music, Apollo, and Spotify (when it wants to). It does not work with apps like n7 Music Player, Netflix, or YouTube. My question is, is there a way to get it to work for all system audio?
If nothing else then at least for the n7 player.
Yeah i have the same problem with pocket casts
Damn, I'm glad I found this topic... I thought that my hearing was off... So, just to report, not working with n7.
I don't really get it, we have a new audio drivers and EQ that simply don't work? What the hell...

Can't play YouTube or Netflix to Bluetooth speaker - help!

I just tried to play audio from the Android YouTube app on my phone to a Bluetooth speaker I have. I've paired the phone with the speaker, other media apps play to it without any problem, but YouTube doesn't and Netflix doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any kind of setting to make this happen, either.
I've searched all over the web, and here as well, but haven't found much in the way of this specific question - lots of answers about playing YouTube when the screen goes off, for example, and various other things, but nothing in the way of "My Android phone won't play through Bluetooth, period". There's no help for it on the YouTube support site, either (just about playing YouTube on Bluetooth from a Chromebook, not phones or tablets).
I tried this with Netflix as well, just to see, and it didn't work either.
Is this a specific limitation of YouTube and Netflix, that they just don't do that?
Or am I missing something here?
My phone is a Sony Xperia X, running Nougat.
