FYI, there is an issue with pretty much all ICS ROMs and the BT stack included in them. I have a brand new, top of the line Jawbone BT that supports everything, works flawlessly in Cyanogen and non-ICS ROMs, but will barely work in ICS.
Basically, after a reboot, it connects and says Connected (no media), then switches to Connected. Everything works fine until I disconnect and reconnect again.
After that, it will work for only voice calls. Media will always go out the speaker. I have tried everything to fix it to no avail. The only resolution to get A2DP media streaming back is to reboot.
When it happens, the media checkbox is still there and checked, but it doesn't work. I switched back to HyperSensation (Cyanogen) and everything works as it is supposed to.
Apparently ICS bluetooth works fine for some BT headsets and not others. This also seems to be an ongoing problem for other phones as well, even non-ICS.
I am not well versed in reading the debug logs, but if anyone is interested I can post them here, provided they tell me which ones they want.
I'm having troubles to. My problem is I cannot start a call via the Bluetooth Dial button on my radio. It's as if the phone doesn't even recognize that you are pressing the button. Tried installing Vlingo, but the prompt doesn't even work anymore.
The old solution was to install the Voice_dialer.apk...but that doesn't seem to be compat either
I can confirm the issue with the virtuous ICS as well. I have bt stuff from Jawbones to BlueAnt's and all have the same issue. Prior to this was the issue of cutting out and now it's the off/on bt streaming. To "fix" the issue, is to reboot. Annoying yes. But ICS is still so sexy
I've got the same problem, ROM Elegancia ICS 1.0.6 and 1.1.0
After pairing with bluetooth headset, first time I play music everything is ok. after re-connecting, music controls works ok, but sound is thru phone's speakear not thru the headset.
After rebooting the phone the situation is the same- first connection everythings ok, another ones not.
Checked with SE MW600, Jabra extreme and car's bluetooth.
The problem occurs even with clear installation (before I restore backups).
Still can not find solution so I got back to GB.
So its not just me! I can confirm that my Beats Wireless acts exactly like described.. And with a reboot fixing it again!
I think the devs here might be able to fix it, but its properly not going to be an importent issue to fix.. Fingers crossed for a fix, or maybe the future leaks will have it done!

Vlingo has always been problematic for me... My solution (worked on ICS too) was to get it working on an older ROM (not sure which one anymore) then use titanium backup and back up APP+DATA on a ROM that it is working on. Then, restore APP+DATA on the new ROM.
The first time you hit the button on your headset it will ask you what app you want to use for voice dialing and give you Vlingo, Vlingo InCar, or Voice Search. Choose Vlingo and check the box to make it default and you are good to go.
Just make sure after you get it working on the new ROM to back it up again... then the next time you switch ROMs, restore whatever the latest backup is. I am not sure what it changes, but I have been through Cyanogen, all of the ARHD versions, all of the InsertCoin versions, and a few others (I can never make up my mind on ROMs) and this trick has worked in all of them.
IMPORTANT: Make sure in Titanium Backup to uncheck the option to restore system libraries in ROM (that can cause issues going between major versions of android), and make sure toenable the features in Titanium Backup for attempting to migrate data.
I also get the same issue when I try to connect my MW-600 with ARHD ICS 6.0.2.
Can anyone help?
You guys who just have to reboot your phone are getting off easy. When I lose Audio Streaming to my car head unit, I have to delete the device and re-pair it to my phone after a reboot.
Same here with mw600 on virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1. Only first connection plays music through headset.
I am sure that first 4.0.1 beta base was not affected. This bug came with 4.0.3

really??.. Im gonna try an old backup then.
Edit:
Backup was removed sadly.. :/ cant test it, but maybe someone else can?
Well, the ROMs are still there to download
With 4.0.1 I was on radio version 10.59. I am not expert on radios and RILs but I guess these things affect also BT performance. Right?

I reverted back to the virtuous 4.0.1 build from the most recent (having the new fw and radio) and has fixed the Bluetooth issue. Now I just have to live with messed up signal bars and a browser that randomly exits.

Hi,
Reporting this BT issue for me (SGS 2 with ICS 4.0.3, XXLP2 that can be found on XDA, originally from samfirmware):
I try to send files from my laptop to my SGS 2, 1 at a time and the transfer will suddendly halt some of the way through and ICS looks like it's rebooting but it's actually not, I mean not a full proper reboot; the phone does not switch off, the boot anim plays as if restarting, first BT is off then the icon come up in the top bar...
Hopefully, the Simple & Clean, ICS version, is round the corner ;o)

using arhd 6.1.1 here on sensation XE with SE mw600 headset, no issues, calls and media working as normal
BT connectivity seems to be fixed in the latest leaked ICS + Sense RUU.
Is the sensation supposed to support any other remote control features than pause and play over BT?
I can confirm that on my Galaxy s2 using the 'official' ICS rom released yesterday still causes my phone to reboot.
This happens when bluetooth is paired with my car stereo and streaming audio or voice calls. It causes a reboot, usually happens after 10-15 minutes.
Never happened on gingerbread of any version. And has happened on all versions of ICS leading up to 'official' release.
I can confirm that bluetooth will cut off and be off completely quite randomly while listening to music or Pandora.
Only a reboot gets bluetooth to turn back on.
I have experienced this on two Motorola S9-HD headsets on various ICS roms

Hi,
Whatever the ICS rom I try on my Desire S, I've never been able to have any sound.
At first, just after boot, sound seems okay : I can dial a number, and hear the dial sound. As sound as I start making a call, sound is disabled (speaker AND micro : no incoming/outgoing sound). Every sound is then disabled : incoming calls, music.
But If I plug the hands-free kit, the sound works okay ! ...
The only way to have sound working normal is to revert back to a GB rom.
This thing is making me crazy. I tried everything I could have been able to think about :
Updating radio (currently 20.4801..30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M)
Trying different HBOOT (currently S-OFF with hboot 2.00.202)
Updating recovery (currently 4EXT recovery touch v1.0.0.5 RC3)
I had no sound because of kernel problem. Try different kernels.
H-BOOT and recovery will have effect so don't bother messing with them. Especially not the H-BOOT. It's more trouble than it's worth.
Hello All,
I just want to ask regarding my phone mic not working.
I tested just now with camcorder apps. When I start record something with sound and other background noise, then I played the record - all the sound seems working fine. So, I assume the phone mic is working.
But, when I tried to make calls, people not hearing my voice. I tried to used voice recorder and tried to play it again, still no sound being records. I even tried to use google voice, also no sound being pick-up.
My question are why using camcorder apps can pick-up the voice or background sound, but, voice recorder, call to other and google voice cannot listen to any voice I made?
Any suggestion or explanation is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance for all the help...
Notes: I am now in Revolution XE with audio beats Rom... Have test with all revolution ROM, and still have the phone mic problem.
+1. Exact same problem here - been flashing ARHD Roms for over 6 months no dramas, then somewhere in the last month this occurred to me as well.
I have tried nandroid backups, full wipes and reflashes, various roms, sense 3.6, 4 and vanilla to no avail! I know the some of the cyanogen chefs have been having audio routing issues - but even in the supposedly fixed versions I still get the same problem. The best I've done so far, and after numerous voicemails to myself, is get it to a point where headphones with a Mic will work. When I answer a call the loudspeaker Mic activates, so I sound really distant, but if I talk into the back of the phone (directly into the Mic) its better, but I cannot hear them. When I activate loudspeaker neither Mic works
I'm back on ARHD 6.6.7 but now, and not even headphone Mic's work. I've tried flashing volume boost zips, beats zips, vol+ from the market - nothing! I've even gone back to a branded (Telstra Aus) Rom someone posted (based off an ICS, but not official) and nothing! I would brand it back up and call it a warranty job (even though its a software problem, not hardware) but I'm just out of warranty. Somebody plz help!
I have had this issue too on all roms except inser coin. Try flashing insert coin sense 3.6 Rom to see if the mic is back.

mkzak78 - Just found your posts in the ARHD thread - it seems we are having the exact same problem, which makes me think its software, not hardware. That and the fact that the loudspeaker mic works fine to record video, but nothing else!
My understanding is that when we flash custom roms, not all files are replaced - only those which need to change for the new rom to work - this allows the roms to be smaller in size. For instance I put a custom splash screen on my phone when I first got it, and through every wipe and flash, it remains the same. Things such as the microphone settings/drivers wouldn't need to change between roms, so perhaps they are not included in the roms? somewhere along the line one of these files has been changed, but it is not being fixed as the rom's we keep flashing don't include them.
I'm wondering if its possible for somebody without this problem to upload a nandroid backup, which I believe includes everything. if we could restore that, it should fix it. Whether or not a nandroid file can be flashed to a different phone however I'm not sure.
Can anyone provide some advice on whether this is correct, or help us out? My previously awesome phone is now a very fancy paperweight if it can't be used to make calls - I'm desperate!
hey guys i need some help , this rom is amazing even better then jb on my gnex but for some odd reason when i go to play music or youtube videos no sound comes out the speakers . the speaker phone works and i have made successful calls /also google now will perform searches but no sound comes out HELP ....I WIPED AND REFLASHED STILL NO SOUND ON MEDIA

The same issue with sound for my device too. Did you resolve this problem?
Hi folks,
I'm trying to get V4A working reliable on my Z3 on last Marshmallow (.291). I'm using V4A 2.5.0.5 installed in system via flashable ZIP (which also puts libraries in correct places), manually adding V4A to audio_effects.conf (as trying to install V4A using the app results in IO Error) and setting V4A to compatibility mode. Doing so got me a installed V4A, which is sometimes working. After boot it seems to work fine with 3rd party players like black player ex or Spotify and very rarely Sony's Walkman aka Music. After that working period, either there is just no effect or even worse no audio at all (as long as V4A is enabled for the sound output I'm currently using (Headphones, Bluetooth, etc.) - if I disable it I'm getting working audio again). Rebooting the device fixes it again for some time.
Furthermore, I have MusicFX and Audio Enhancement frozen using titanium backup. I'm using last SliMM as rom, SELinux is set to permissive. No further sound mods installed.
Has anyone got ideas how to get it working reliable? It's working fine on all my other devices.
If there is already a thread about V4A on Z3 Marshmallow, please tell me, I haven't found one.
try installing project desire ten, it has it pre installed.

Way too much bloat for me, but i'll take a look into their files, maybe i can find something in there what makes it work.
