Hi,
So, for a while I believed my sensation's BT was just bad based on other people's comments here, but now I'm beginning to think that it might be Plantronix or certain BT devices. I recently used its BT with my friend's BT speaker and his car's BT without any problem. I even intentionally covered it with my hand to see if the connection dropped, but it didn't. But, when I use my BT headset (plantronix), it drops all the time. I even exchanged the headset to see if I had a defective one, but thd same problem. I'm wondering if it's certain BT profile/tech that's just not compatible. Anyone else have this issue or can shed some light?

I always use my bluetooth headset when talking to family and friends(due to the length of time, hate holding phone). Since, I switched from my nexus one people have griped about the interference/noise they hear when I'm on my bluetooth headset. It is not my BT headset as I've tried a few(motorola S305, and two smaller bluetooth earpieces), all of which exhibit the noise. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem ?
Running the Galaxy S I9000 ROM rooted.
Everyone complains about hearing me whenever I try to use a headset. Seems like the stack sucks or the radio is terrible.
Got the same problem. My bluetooth calls are loud and clear on my side, but everyone on the other side complains about static noice and I sound very distant.
I tried the original ATT rom (stock unrooted) and the most current 2.1 that is available for download. No difference.
Any ideas what to try to remedy this?
I haven't noticed anything like this on my Motorola S9-HD headset.
I have noticed sometimes it will cut the music every once in a while, whereas my iPhone never did.

This is a known issue with the I9000 ROM... Bluetooth doesn't work well for some...
I'm running the stock rom... is that the I9000 rom?
None of my friends have mentioned such a problem when i've called them, although I've only made bluetooth calls a couple of times (including on the bus and at home).
Using after-market Nokia BH-503s.
I'm definately seeing the same problem on the stock rom. Not as bad as athe I9000 ROM but still bad enough for them to complain. Seems like it's made worse by the different roms/kernels we've been flashing but there's definately a problem.

I'm seeing similar symptoms, except my music cuts out every 30 seconds or so. My setup is a Kensington iPhone adapter connected through aux input in my car with an Anycom FIPO on the iPhone adapter (it converts the iPhone/iPod adapter into a bluetooth receiver). I then stream from my Captivate to the adapter and it works fine except that it cuts out every 30 seconds. Did you ever figure out how to fix it?
UPDATE: Just wanted to add that I figured out what was causing my problem: having Wifi turned on. Once I turned it off, my bluetooth streaming worked beautifully, with no hiccups.
Still have a problem with this. Stopped using my BT headset completely... sucks having this thing stuck to my head for calls.
I have encountered several problems:
Party can not hear me at all; though I can hear fine.
Party hears tinny sound to my voice.
Headset disconnects while playing music.
Using a Motorokr S9-HD. Works fine with Samsung A-737.
I too have the static problem. This phone sounds wonderful on my end, but everyone complains that that can't hear me! This is so far the only complaint I have.... I hope someone will have a fix, or come up with something.
I have this problem too !
Is anyone else having issues with the bluetooth connectivity with their HTC Inspire? It pairs with my car with no issues. The bluetooth drops in and out. It says bluetooth headset connected... then 1 minute later it says bluetooth headset disconnected... and so on.
The car doesn't recognize that it is gone so the sound stops on the speakers in the car but the phone doesn't switch the source to the phone. I have to switch it manually to get back to my call.
Anyhow, I see a lot of articles on google where people are complaining about this but I have been unable to find any resolution. Has anyone here had this issue and resolved it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Same is happening with mine. I paired my inspire with the car and it connects. But if I use it no connection or doesn't dial. When I receive a call and disconnect, my car will stop the connection but the phone stays on.
I might be restoring to stock to see if it's just an inspire thing or bug with different ROM's

I am using my phone stock and was thinking about rooting it if it would fix it. I am new to Droid phones so I have not read enough to be comfortable with rooting quite yet...
Have you found any solution to this issue? I've just bought a BT headphone (Plantronics 903+), and as a I put it in my left pocket (where it is supposed to be placed since the headphone antenna in the left side), connection dropping starts and never stop happening. The movement seems to stress the connection quality and it gets really annoying, I can't listen to music without having this chopped streaming all the time.
I thought to post this question here since this is the only post I found about the same issue, but I will put a specific one about Plantronics and Inspire if I can't come out with a solution. I'm really very disappointed now with the headset, the phone or I don't really know which one is the guilty one.
Thanks in advance
it will not work. since after rooting, my phone cannot pair with my Garmin GPS, but it did with the stock rom.

Is anyone else using a BT headset for phone calls and having a hard time hearing the person they're talking to? I have a Motorola HX-1 and with my previous Evo and my current Nexus S 4G it works great, but with both of my Thunderbolts (original and replacement) whether it's stock, on das BAMF 1.63/2.0 or the CM7 Alpha the person I'm talking to can hear me but on my end the volume is very low. If I'm in the car just with the road noise and such I can't even make out what they're saying. Is it the BT chipset that HTC used on the TB or is this something that could be fixed with a software patch or 3rd party app? I bought Volume+ from the Market but it doesn't seem to do anything for BT Headsets. Thanks!
EDIT: Haha, and yes I made sure that the BT In-Call Volume was turned all of the way up.
I had similar problems. Bought a new BT headset (Droid Commander) and works fine now. I assume it was some strange incompatibility with my old moto BT.
Similar issue
I also have the same problem with my TB, paired to Jabra SP700 speakerphone, which is notorious for having a call volume that's too loud, with max volume am only able to hear callers with minimal road noise and radio at minimum levels, looking into trying other BT headsets to see if the issue persists. Using rooted TB with stock rom and leankernel extreme.
Ugh, stupid me for only searching XDA before posting and not the entire Internet! Did a Google search and this appears to be a common issue as there are lots of complaints on other forums about it including HTC's own support forum. I am really getting frustrated with this phone (I'm now on my 3rd one).

Here are some other threads that I have found from users with the same issue, including at least one from HTC's own support forum. At least this helps me narrow the problem down a little bit as it doesn't seem as though my Thunderbolts have a hardware issue and it makes it less likely that it just doesn't like my headset.

I have the issue as well.
This thread also describes a sort of similar or related problem.
Ok I see it's not just me.Hopefully it can be fixed with an update,hell I bought a new bluetooth because I thought it couldn't be the phone.

I also baught a new Bluetooth headset, a Plantronics M100 with dual mics!!, thinking it'll solve it. The noise is less, but is still there. My HD2 & Desire S when connected to the same Bluetooth headsets have no noise at all.
i have this very anoying same issue.
is there any way to fix it?
I'm using a Samsung and it works good with the sensation no background noise but if I move the phone or my head too fast I lose signal for a second
has anyone figured a fix for this , i too have the white noise when i use my bluetooth on my aftermarker stereo, i used to use this all the time with my vibrant and had no problems but ever since i got this sensation the caller on the other end complains that its horrible
bringing it back
I have this problem also. Still unresolved?
I have the exact same problem. Hoped an update to ICS would solve the problem, but it didn't.
My HD2 and DesireHD do not have this problem with my Volvo.
I thought it started after the first time I used my phone as MP3 player and putting the earplug in. That's the first time Beats Audio is activated I believe.
I'm guessing that's were the problem lies (but this was already back in November).
It might also be an app that I installed . . . can anyone trace something back to when it started being bad?
I'm having bad sound quality when making call through Bluetooth in my car. It sounds like the audio is breaking up. Anybody else have this problem? My note 3 was working just fine through bluetooth

I also noticed the same thing yesterday driving home. I did not have this problem earlier in the week. I'm not sure what is going on. This along with a strange wifi problem has recently surfaced. If I leave my wifi range and then return, it does not want to reconnect. I have to toggle the airplane mode then wifi will reconnect. I am running stock 11s rooted with 2.7.1.0 TWRP, Xposed framework, Xpoxed GEL, Gravity Box, Tasker, Autovoice.

Are you still experiencing poor Bluetooth audio in your vehicle? Mine is still the same.

I am. I'm looking for suggestions for things to try and improve the stuttering/skipping/dropouts that I'm experiencing when using my OnePlus One in media playback mode through my Chevrolet MyLink car radio. I have some additional details to offer and things I have tried:
1) The playback application doesn't seem to make any difference, the problem is most pronounced (unlistenable) when playing back music files and is highly annoying when listening to speech (e.g. podcast) files. I suspect the difference is the music having a beat that gets interrupted while there are some normal pauses in speech so the stuttering blends in a bit more. In any event, it's not a problem with the playback application.
2) It seems unlikely to be a problem with the car radio (Chevrolet MyLink). Though I haven't done extensive testing I have done some using my old Motorola Atrix HD with a nightly CM11 on it from a few weeks back and that does not seem to have the issue, or at least it is not nearly as severe.
3) When I use a third party bluetooth audio receiver (some cheap no-name one from ebay) the quality seems to be fine but when I try to go directly to the car stereo I get tons of stuttering/skipping/drop outs.
A friend suggested that I try running an alternative kernel and see if that improves things. Any ideas on whether that may be the case or which one might be the best to try? Any other suggestions? It's quite annoying that I can't playback audio through the car radio...
Thanks!
Anyone have any ideas? I tried running the Franco kernel tonight and it seems to have the same issue. I did some logcat captures and I seem to be getting a lot of "W/bt-btif ( 2104): btif_media_aa_prep_2_send congestion buf count 24" messages when playing back audio through the car radio. See the attached full logcat captures with both the stock and Franco kernels and connected to both an alternative Bluetooth dongle and to the MyLink car radio.
Any suggestions?
After further testing I was able to determine this is an issue with the phone and not the car radio as I was able to find at least one other BT device which exhibits the same issue. I have created a ticket for this issue at: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-1005 if you are also experiencing this issue you are encouraged to go and vote for the ticket.
One question though. Do you have WiFi on when traveling in your car? Try turning it off and see if you still get skipping.
I do in fact have WiFi on at all times. I tried turning it off for the day today while doing some driving and it appeared to clear up the problem. I would think it's still a bug because having WiFi on should not prevent BT audio from working correctly but it at least gives someone a direction to investigate.
So I've done some slightly longer term testing and what I can say is the problem is not totally cleared up when WiFi is off but it is much, much better (definitely listenable). I will still get a couple dropouts when first starting a stream (sometimes, not always) but after 30 seconds to a minute it seems to settle down and be fine as long as I keep the WiFi off.

Just to clarify the situation..
My Xperia Z2 have the same issues.. It is not your phone but the Bluetooth stack in android that pretty much sucks the problems you are dicribing has been there since android 4.2 on a lot of devices.
I have just changed my Lumia 1020 out with this Z2 and call me disappointed in music quality! On the Lumia you would have trouble hearing a difference between jack/auxiliary and Bluetooth..
And today I did notice some dropouts even with WiFi off well into my drive but it was just a few packets I would guess more of an annoyance than a serious problem. I've heard about issues in the Android BT stack but the confusing part of that is why certain devices (such as my Atrix HD) don't seem to experience the problem.
I have a bluetooth stereo I use every morning in my home and a bluetooth stereo in my car. I almost exclusively use pandora, but I have also used power amp on longer trips. I have never experience this issue with my opo. I have ran 25-33 all rooted with no problems and am currently using CM11 nightlies. I also am not having any wifi issues.
Sorry it's not very helpful, but it doesn't sound like a widespread issue at least.
It certainly has something to do with the particular bluetooth implementation used by the receiver interacting with the OPO. As I indicated I have three different BT receivers I can test with and the problem affects two of them but not the other.
