Just got this awesome phone yesterday and I've been running it through my new phone tests. I wanted to try out the HDMI output to my TV and it is incredible! It output movies, maps, browser, etc just fine. When I went to play NOVA, it worked perfectly at first.
After a few minutes of playing, the audio on the TV stopped working. The game still played fine, but with no audio. I unplugged to HDMI cord from the phone and the sound on the phone no longer worked. I tried making phone calls, listening to voice mails on Google voice, playing movies/games and nothing would fix the lack of sound. (And yes, I did make sure media volume was all the way up.) I ended up having to reboot my phone and everything went back to working fine again.
I am able to duplicate this problem every time I have the HDMI cable plugged in for a few minutes (regardless of what app I am using). Has anyone else had this issue?
i had the same issue though it happened before connecting to an outgoing call and then later while playing some games via HDMI
I watched a Thor bootleg the day before the movie hit USA and it played just fine. Watched it again last night with a friend and again the whole movie played fine with us even watching some youtube vids on the big screen before hand.
I LOVE THIS PHONE!

What brand is your cable and how long is it?
I experienced the audio loss similar to the OP, but mine wasn't permanent. After about 15 minutes of playing some games via HDMI the sound would die for a few seconds, but then it would be normal. Sometimes the video signal would get lost as well, but would come back on in a few seconds.
However, I watched some youtube clips and didn't have any issues.
I bought mine from buy.com. It didn't even list the brand, but it was only $6.40 with free shipping. 6ft.
Come to think of it... I did notice when i played games all was fine. but playing videos the picture would cut out after a few seconds no matter what
mines have the same problems but when I play videos i recently captured or shot, the audio echoes really bad
Hi, I just purchased a new TF700 and have been hoping like crazy, that it does not have any of the issues some people have been running into, again with another top of the line Asus tablet. So far there are no blemishes on the screen or case, the screen fitment seems pretty good and there is no creeking of flexing when pinching or pressing on the screen. The light bleed is not crazy bad. The GPS and wifi work great. It prompted me for an OTA update shortly after turning it on, and streaming video while listening via my S10 bluetooth headset, does not cause network drop. I was just about to proclaim it as near perfect, and then I ran into this. When streaming archive video from an internet network the audio and video don't match. I can pull it up on a Galaxy SII and SIII phone running ICS on the same wifi network and it works fine. But every time I stream any of the videos from there, it is never in sync. And not all video streaming is like this. Youtube from either the app or website are in sync. And so are videos from both the Hulu and Netflix apps. I watch videos from this internet network nearly every day, and have to try to get this figured out. Does anyone have suggestions or information pertaining to this issue? Is it related to this particular processor?
Oh yeah, and it does it when using the internal speaker only too, no headset whatsoever.
Thanks,
I have more interesting details as of today. I work with someone who has an Asus tf300 tablet and I tested it today. When connected to the same wifi network, and streaming the same video from an online network, the sound and video were out of sync again on my tf700, however the tf300 was dead on. Is my only option to just exchange it and hope the next one is better? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
Bluetooth lag has been addressed here before and is likely the root of your issue. Use the search feature to do some investigative work and you'll get to the bottom of it. Here's a good thread to start at:

Ok thanks for the response Chief Geek, but in my case it isn't Bluetooth related, because it does it when no headset is attached, right through the factory installed speaker.

Gotcha. I stream a ton of different media from my home server to devices, to my TV via google tvbox, and to browsers outside of my network. The issue you are getting can be adjusted inside some video players by a time delay settings if it is consistant enough. If not, try playing with different file/container type comos and also different players can make a difference. Its a real PITA and happens on all my devices occasionally, even my 8 core laptop.

Yes, unfortunately this happens from within a browser, and I have tried several. I know there are no such adjustments from them. The thing that is annoying is that it happens with the Infinity every time I try it, and other Android phones and tablets seem to work fine. I just tried one of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets, and it also works good.
I tried Asus support today and they just had me reset the device and see if that would fix it. It didn't. I think the fix for me is going to be to return it and get the Note 10.1.
I have noticed that my MAXX HD will not stream via bluetooth to save its life. It is nerve racking to say the least. It is something isolated to this device as my HTC Rezound worked fine.
Here is what happens. When connecting to my 2012 Tundra it says it is connected for bluetooth streaming. If I pick an mp3 saved to the device it streams it just fine, but if I open Rhapsody or any other streaming app I get nothing. A work around I have found is to send myself a text message and not check it. Once the alert comes through for the new message it streams until I check it at which point it stops streaming. While streaming Rhapsody or any other streaming program it shows my ringtone name, when playing an mp3 it shows the mp3 name.
After searching I see this is an issue with various other vehicles as well. Anyone know a way to fix this? From what I have found Moto is not addressing the issue at this time. With 90% of my music coming through my Rhapsody subscription it is quite a pain to deal with.
Played around a little more. If I try to play my Amazon music through the cloud player I get no sound, but if I download the tracks to the device then open the Google Play Music app they play just fine.
FWIW this happened on the first sw, 7.2 update, and now on the 4.1 leak.
I wish I could help find a solution but all I can do is say it seems isolated to your phone. I use a jawbone big jambox at work and my pioneer in dash DVD player in my car. Both work flawlessly with the exception, sometimes they fail to connect without toggling Bluetooth. I can even use my jambox for media and headset for phone with both devices connected simultaneously. I spend most of my time with slacker radio, pandora or Sirius xm app.

I use it with power amp and Pandora streaming music to my motorcycle helmet, no issues here.

I have some issues sometimes I have to reconnect it with my prius as the bluetooth audio will stop working sometimes. Also sometimes even though bluetooth audio is working phone calls will not and I have to fool around with the settings and disconnect and reconnect. Kinda a pain since my iphone works 100% flawless with the prius.
OP, which headunit are you using in your Tundra, Entune or non-Entune? I have a 12 CM 4x4 Platinum with the non-Entune Nav headunit. I haven't tried audio streaming unfortunately as I use satellite. But I can give it a shot on Fri when I come home from travel.

I use Bluetooth in my truck all the time for Pandora...works great .
Even after a ROM flash. Just pair with the head unit and done

I have similar issues with my Droid RAZR MAXX HD and my 2012 Subaru Outback. The ONLY workaround I have found is to adjust the music volume slider in settings/sound/volumes after bluetooth is connected and audio is playing. I haven't found any common link between downloaded audio vs streaming. I have had issues with ICS and now JB with the bluetooth on the MAXX HD. My previous Droid RAZR worked with the same bluetooh system just fine.
I have a 2011 Toyota corolla with Bluetooth non En tune .
Mine has trouble streaming as well, but saved audio works just fine. Must be a Toyota thing. This happened on my windows phone too. My Bluetooth is a little finicky. Drives me crazy.
Everything works much better with the navigation dock. But still no streaming without auxiliary

Sending yourself a text and not checking it will also work most likely. This is definitely a Motorola thing, I have been streaming with various other devices in Toyota's for years and had no issue with my HTC Rezound streaming in this same truck prior to this phone.
If any Devs see this and can find a fix, I will happily PayPal you for your efforts!
Another issue
I have LG HBS-700 headphones paired to my phone (Droid Razr HD running Stock 4.1.1), and when I receive a call while streaming music, The music plays on my external speaker while the call is ringing. The occurs from any media streaming app (Google Music, Rdio, IHeartRadio, etc). I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this issue (including factory resets), and I'm curious if there's a ROM out there for the Razr HD's that would address this problem.

This is a very annoying bug that was introduced with the jelly bean update. If you keep your ringer on, music won't play through the external speaker. The ringer will play though the external speaker instead. Its still not perfect, but better than letting your coworkers know you're playing the Dixie Chicks.

This issue has been around from day 1 with mine and my Tundra - with ICS and JB.
It will stream some of the time but haven't quite figures out the funky sequences that'll make it work.

Similar problem with Droid RAZR and 2013 Mercedes GLK350

I'm having the exact same problem with my Droid RAZR and 2013 GLK350. Only with the default 'Play Music' application, does the car bluetooth system seem to realize that music has started playing and not act like the phone player is paused and report music metadata to the player. In Pandora, Slacker, Audible, Amazon player and any other app I've tried it's as if it the phone is not sending a proper 'I'm playing music now' cue to the car. As stated in the post above, if I go into Settings/Sound/Volume and just touch the Music volume slider the audio then plays and the music metadata the car displays is the last notification ringtone that phone has played. I've even tried putting a shortcut or widget from AudioManager on one of my home pages to adjust the volume so that I can more easily tap that instead of going through the Settings menu but this doesn't work either - whatever the bug is, the only workaround is an actual notification playing on the phone or the 'manual' volume adjustment. After the volume adjustment is made however, I can skip to the next song or chapter or whatever in the app I am currently using so it doesn't seem like the problem is in AVRCP. It is such a frustrating problem because it seems like it shouldn't be that hard to solve. I've had this problem in ICS and now the JB update that Verizon recently sent down. I was hoping the problem would be fixed with the JB update but unforetunately not.
BRZ with same issues
What I get with my BRZ, is it asks me to pair every single time, and it never saves the key. It's extremely annoying because I have to click pair on the phone each time when the car is on. At least it 'works' after that, but like someone said, the metadata is only read from Play Music.
I'd just like to note for anyone still having trouble that they should consider upgrading if at all possible to 4.1.2 jellybean. However, though I thought it was fixed at first, I will need to troubleshoot a little more, but it certainly has improved.

The problem I described above IS on 4.1.2. I haven't experienced any Bluetooth functionality improvements whatsoever in this version compared to the previous. It seems that many people are having the same exact or very similar problems with 4.1.2 on many different vehicles. Motorola seriously needs to raise the bar when testing. We often have to wait a VERY long time for any new OS releases for their phones to come out, so one would hope this means that they are thoroughly tested. Instead, we have to wait a very long time for poorly implemented and spottily tested software.
Mine is literally useless with Bluetooth in my 2011 Toyota corolla. Will not stream music from any player on the phone. Does not route text messages through the car. Sometimes it will route a call through, but only once or twice. After that it will pick up through Bluetooth. But no sound so I have to put speakerphone on. Like I said, useless.
I have now turned Bluetooth off and use my work blackberry with the car and it works fine. My old windows phone worked fine too.
Between this, the constant lag and freezing, poor home screen implementation, and sometimes poor audio quality, don't know which is worst.
Its been much worse for Bluetooth since jb and got worse again after the most recent update. Whats the point?
Not helpful I know but it is my experience.

It bugged me to all hell. I really wanted to like the RAZR MAXX HD, but I ended up getting Galaxy S3 and I never looked back. Pairing my phone with my car was too big of a deal breaker for the RAZR. Hope they fix it though, I did love that phone.
Anyone know how to get rid of the annoying sound delay/out of sync Bluetooth when watching YouTube? Thanks!

Sounds like what I have found in my car (& I think occasionally in my headphones)?
I connect via BT, switch to bluetooth mode in the car & then there is a delay of around 20 seconds before the music plays.
I'm on update B182, I'm guessing this has something to so with it.....
Same here

I am having a similar issue. It's not limited to youtube for me. Any video streaming service like Netflix, xfinity, youtube, HBO. All have a sync issue with sound coming first and then a delay of about 2 seconds with the video. It's hell annoying. I contacted customer care thinking that it is a hardware issue with my phone and got a replacement device. But even that has it. I am guessing it has to do something at the software side. If anyone finds any fix please share!
Not using my car much at the moment but been out in it on a few journeys today & not noticed any BT issue.
Not sure if this is related in any way but I'm now on update B190.
