Are there any definitive fixes for BT audio streaming? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So I've been battling with this for a while now and I really don't want to have to go back to my TW based ROMs to fix it. I updated to CM 10.1.2 and discovered that BT audio on Jelly Bean was horrible, it was distorted and skippy to the point that I could not listen to it. I then tried updating to CM 10.2 because some people have said it was fixed in that... no dice, still skippy and distorted. I tried the PAC-MAN ROM, both the latest RC and nightly, still not working. I also tried ParanoidAndroid 3.99 with no luck. So I went back to CleanROM (a TW based ICS ROM) and everything was fine.
But the AOSP ROMS were too good to stay away from! I really love the PAC-MAN ROM and I recently flashed back to the 9/19 nightly. Before I did this I made sure to wipe EVERYTHING. I did a full SD card and internal storage wipe, wiped the system, wiped data, factory reset, wiped cache, the whole nine yards (although when I boot into download mode, under the binaries it says "3 count", what is that about?). So I flushed the whole phone and reflashed PAC-MAN, I still had the problem.
What I want to do here is get any accounts from people who have had the same problem and fixed it. I know a lot of people have posted about it before but I've tried everything with no success! So please, let me know if you know how to fix this, or any insight you might have on the issue.
Thank you so much!

Had the same issue today when I flashed to eclipse 5.1. Reset my head unit in my car and booted in to recovery on my phone and fixed permissions. Works great now

What do you mean you reset the head unit? I'm using a receiver that plugs into 12v and outputs the audio via headphone cable to the car. Do you think just unplugging and plugging back in would be equivalent?

The actual radio in my car streams Bluetooth audio via a2dp. I would try booting in to recovery and selecting "fix permissions".

Tried fix permissions but still distorted Thank you though!
I don't think there is any type of reset on the device. This is what I'm using http://www.amazon.com/Technologies-TuneLink-Bluetooth-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B004NQDU5E/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1 It connects to my phone and then outputs the audio via a cable that goes into my car stereo's aux input. I'll dig around and see if there might be.

It could be the specific ROM you are running. Like I said, Eclipse 5.1 works fine, so did Paranoid Android 3.99. Have you tried streaming with a different application (Pandora, etc)

Just tried it, did a 100% clean install and still am getting distortion and popping. This is really frustrating me... I even tried CM 10 before this and even that was giving me distortion on 4.1.2.

I'm not on an AOSP rom but have read many similar posts to this while trying to fix my 4.1.2 issue for voice input not working on bluetooth devices (which I still haven't solved).
In any case, I have seen instances were people have modified the /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file in order to resolve the choppiness and sound distorting. I can't remember all the specific changes but I do believe they involved changing some of the following lines:
from:
Code:
#AutoConnect=true
#[Headset]
#HFP=true
to
Code:
AutoConnect=true
[Headset]
HFP=true
Couldn't hurt to look and try.

Yeah, I've seen stuff like that too. Thing is, on AOSP (at least from what I've observed) the Bluetooth is setup different. There is no audio.conf file
Thank you though!
Edit: I think it is actually 4.2 that is setup different, probably not unique to AOSP, but all the 4.2 ROMS I've used have been AOSP

Ah, good to know. I have not used any non-TW roms on my S3 yet (hence I have not gone above 4.1.2).
Another thing to look at is your kernel. Are you undervolted at all? Undervolting too much caused similar issues with my GNex back in the day. Could be worth looking into raising your voltage just a little and see if that helps.

I haven't undervolted in a while. I've changed ROMs a ton of times since then. That would reset back to stock voltages, correct?
edit: sorry for the double post

Depends on what kernel comes with the rom. Some kernels are undervolted out of the box while others are not. It's at the discretion of the kernel developer.

TiBu & XDA gave me issues when I used TiBu to restore them. The restore sequence runs in reverse order, so it was restoring the "key" before the free version. That played havoc with the app when I tried to run them. Just a thought.

Any feedback on CM10 8-18 d2vzw official nightly?

I'm itching to try CM now that it's official, but I depend on my phone and need stability. Does anyone who's tried it have any feedback? Anything broke?
i may have to flash that..
I wouldn't run the official nightlies for the time being until the data and MMS fixes get approved and merged. CVPS (Austin Dickenson) posted an Alpha 2 on his G+ with those fixes above so you would be better off running those.

Yea, wouldn't want those issues. I'd read some about that and assumed that since there was a couple of days between CVPS's fix and the posting of the official nightly that the fix would be included.
So, how actually stable and usable is this then.
I want to get CM10 or paranoidandroid running, but it looks as though its a gigantic pain in the ass right now with all these issues that people talk about.

I dunno, I've been running CM10 for weeks now with basically no problems. MMS is borked, but whatever.
I have seen a MMS fix and also think people are having problems depending on your phone. It will not hurt to flash it and flash back if you have problems.

Here's the code review for the patch:

In G+ he indicates it is a fix for MMS. Nothing is mentioned about losing IMEI. I haven't read anywhere where anybody has a handle on what causes that issue. It's seemingly random.

No regrets
I decided to take the plunge last night and have done a reboot with NO ill effects to my MMS or IMEI.
The stock CM camera is amazing. Video, FF and ZERO shutter lag are all present. I was worried about losing some of the touchwiz camera options, but I do not miss them.
Data works, but my room is a deadzone so I'll have to wait until I venture outside to see how capable it is.
Wi-fi seems a tad weaker, but not by much.
All of my apps work (netflix included) and the only "annoying" things I have found so far is HBO go not being compatible and Facebook Sync not working the way I would expect it to. I've read that the FB glitch is due to poor support from the facebook app, so I don't think it's really an issue with the ROM.
There is occasional homescreen glitching, which is very slight and happens almost never. It just causes the screen to flash a little bit. There is a fix for this problem but I think you have to re-apply it after every reboot. Either way, NOT a deal breaker.

Reunited with my HTC Rezound
I just flashed the latest (as of now, only) CM nightly from their website which requires an UNLOCKED bootloader to be installed on the phone. The EZ unlock app in the market is as dummy proof as it gets. Just make sure your device has root. Also, use CWM recovery provided in the EZ recover app also found in the market. Make sure you flash the right recovery, the first time I didn't check the correct radio button and flashed the stock recovery back onto the phone. That was a bit of a mind-f**k.
After some testing outside of the house I find that it has as good or better network signal than I had with "stock" ROMs. I don't ever recall having 4g with full bars before installing this ROM. The wi-fi still seems weak, but I'm sure it will get tweaked eventually!
I think it's amazing what developers do. Thank you, wherever you are.

Bluetooth Crackle

Recently I got a new vehicle (Toyota RAV4) so I connected my s3. Via Bluetooth. However every rom Ive tried, both tw and aosp have this crackle and pop (snap?) coming through the speakers. I dont know if this is a problem with the phone or the car or rom, kernel, etc but am looking for suggestions. Thanks.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I bought my first GS3 pre order. I had the same crackle coming through any Bluetooth device I used. Since I stream Sirius all day, every day it was a huge issue. So I called vzw and they replaced with a brand new one. But, I was within the first 15 days of purchase. They documented the issue so they should know that some units have this issue. Get it replaced.
I called Verizon and their answer was that it has been a reported issue and that they are working on it with Samsung. I asked about replacing it but their answer was that it would basically continue to happen with the new one they send me and a software issue is the key. Did your replacement fix the issue?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Had the same crackle when I first received my S3 with a headset, but not with veh or home dongles. VZW said it has to be the headset. Funny thing is it was only 2 months old and worked like a champ on my DX. Tried a couple of other devices, no problems. Last resort was a factory reset, just for the sake of trying it. Resync'd all BT devices and never had a problem since. Definitely not a confirmed fix, but if kicking the side of the TV worked for dad, I'll give it a try.
Verizon is sending me a new one. I explained that if this was such a small scale issue, then it must be hardware. Otherwise more people would have reported it. And If Im wrong then I'll still have a new unit and will wait for a software patch. Either way I win.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I found that I got rid of bluetooth crackle by increasing voltages on my custom kernels (i switch between lean kernel and ktoonz). Seems like certain S3s have this problem when running below certain voltages. Currently have my lowest voltages at 925mv and progressive increase with steps, but I read the normal magic number is 1150. Try increasing your base voltages to 1150 (if your on custom rom and kernel of course) and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, you can experiment with lower voltages until the crackle reappears, to find your phones sweet spot.

Have also seen it fixed with kernel changes.
Hmmm. I will try this..

My replacement works perfectly.

My replacement should be here tomorrow. Hopefully this solves the issue.

So I received my replacement and it works perfectly as stock. I rooted and deleted a number of bloatware apps too.
There is no hiss or crackle from either the headset jack or Bluetooth media, Pandora or other third party apps.

So, I'm confused about this:
On CM10, Bluetooth didn't work AT ALL. But I don't know if the 10/12 nightly had the right bluetooth decoding values.
On LiquidSmooth, I could get some audio now, but with constant crackling.
On ParanoidAndroid, I get audio, no problems.
What's the difference here? Is it just voltages? Should I just ask Verizon for a new device? It's been 5 days since I activated this one.

Yeah, I thought I had it working until last night when it crapped out again.
I actually regret going from the iphone to android right now. No single phone seems to be well made.
By experimenting on my drive in, this is entirely related to voltages/CPU speed. I don't have voltage control right now, but just kept upping my core clock until the crackling stopped. Around 900mhz everything became fine. Below 900, BT audio would pop. BT calls would last a few minutes, before suddenly dropping from my car. The car would still show being connected to BT, but the call would suddenly be on the handset.

I found that I got rid of bluetooth crackle by increasing voltages on my custom kernels (i switch between lean kernel and ktoonz).

I can agree with your findings. I have had issue with the bluetooth audio crackling with multiple roms and kernels. I found that by increasing your min voltage to at least 1026MHz that it will make the crackling go away (I am running slim 2.7 / lk v1.4). On some CM10 builds (without flashing a custom kernel), I have noticed that I don't even need to set the min voltage and works just fine. I use bluetooth everyday (car/home/work) and it gets some what irritating when I have to set the min voltage higher every time I connect to bluetooth. Is there any way you can set a custom profile to set the min voltage? I currently use Rom Toolbox Pro and it does not have an option to choose a custom profile for bluetooth. I also tried SetCPU App but it does not seem to work when I set the custom profile with the music app that I use. Any ideas to set a custom profile whenever I connect to bluetooth? Any help would be much appreciated
Just call Verizon and explain your issue. I had the same problems on any Rom and I tested in on several vehicles. They shipped me a new one the next day and no issues.

Bluetooth crackle problem with car stereo. help!

Hey I'm having trouble playing music through blue tooth on my car stereo. It crackles every few seconds and it only does it through my phone with most roms I try. No crackles through cd or aux or other people's phones. It happens with all media I play.Anything I could do to fix this?
Thanks
Turn off android beam in the wireless and network settings under more. It did the trick for me.

I can't find android beam. But s beam is off. Is there anything else that you did to fix it?
Try turning off the NFC all together. Are you running stock ROM?

Nfc is off. I'll try turning off wifi tonight on the way home. I'm running jb 19 and I've tried a few others but the only one that didn't make static was liquid smooth but it was so buggy with my swype. Could a new kernel help it?
I read post about bluetooth issues after ppl went to 4.3 someone made a thread about it in this section and for the swype issue with liquidsmooth i dnt use swyoe im on SwiftKey but someone did mention it in the ls thread did u try LS 2.9

I tried LS 2.9 because its 4.2.2 and I had no problems but my swype would force close over and over and got really annoying. Im on jb 19 now. Its 4.1.2. Do you know any roms that are different then 4.1.2 that are good? Thanks
I have an issue with crackling when I use the equalizer with headphones. Are you using the equalizer with bluetooth?

I've been having this problem too and it is SO frustrating. Ever since switching to an AOSP ROM. I even just tried LS 2.9 since you said it was working for you, and I STILL get the crackle and skips. I've tried tens of ROMs at this point, and all of them say that this problem is fixed but it is not. At least not for me. There really needs to be a fix for this. I'm hoping 4.4 gets ported soon and that fixes it. *Fingers crossed*

You're definitely not. Please make sure to post back here if you ever find a fix. I will do the same!
