[Q] Factors affecting bluetooth - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So I've made a couple posts about my problems with bluetooth audio streaming, but I have a bit of a different question this time. I have been trying a multitude of AOSP roms (4.1, 4.2, and 4.3) trying to get my bluetooth audio to work properly. I have had no luck, the audio is super choppy and distorted.
Recently I tired the Eclipse 5.1 ROM which another user told me specifically his bluetooth audio streaming was fine (on the same model phone!). I did a 100% clean install, I wiped everything, including internal & external storage. I tried fixing permissions (which he said he did to get it to work), and nothing. I still get choppy audio over BT. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? What is there beyond the ROM that would affect BT?? I even tried CM 10, which is 4.1 (a version with the old BT stack implemented) and still got choppy audio!! The only thing that seems to work for me is TouchWiz roms.
One thing I notice, and I'm not sure this affects anything, is when I boot into download mode in the binaries line it says "(3 count)"
If anyone has any light to shed on this it would be awesome!
Thanks so much.

[Q] CM7 - No Sound For Bluetooth Phone Audio

I cannot hear the other party during a phone call routed through my MW600 bluetooth headset. The other party can hear me, and if I switch to speaker (front or back) everything works fine.
Streaming media works fine.
The headset/phone combo worked fine in ClearDroid (but GPS didn't, which is why I switched to CM7)
I have CM7 08082011 build GRJ90 on my phone. I did a complete wipe (factory reset, Dalvik, cache partition) before installing the ROM. I've tried it with and without the audio/gps fix. I've reset my headset, rebooted my phone, deleted the pairing - no worky. I've also used a couple of radios (including the recommended one), and both have the same result.
Is there a patch or some other fix for this?
my bluetooth is working for audio and phone calls. connected to my car
Baseband and CM7 Build?

Which radio and version of CM7 are you using?
radio: 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
mod: CM7-7.1.0-RC1-inspired-pirate (it was just built last night)
I'm guessing that's something you cooked yourself?
How long have you used bluetooth with that ROM? Have you (or anyone else viewing) ever had a problem with it with this ROM?
Trying to find out if reflashing would be likely to fix it...
Thanks!

since i only built the rom the night before last, 1 whole day (used bluetooth all day yesterday, and last night). i have never had any bluetooth issues on any of the CM7 roms though. i use bluetooth in my car daily. every time i get in and start my car it connects. i use google music and pandora, and make phone calls through my stereo
Thanks for your response; I wiped, reflashed and it's working great.
For anyone else who may have this problem, I found the actual cause.
I reinstalled all my apps and the problem came back; process of elimination showed that my phone call recording app, AutoCallRecorder was causing the problem. I disabled the Use Microphone option, and the problem went away.
Thanks again, pirate. I feel like an idiot for not thinking about that app before.

intermittent bluetooth audio on ICS

Hi all,
I am having an issue with my Skyrocket streaming bluetooth to my toyota prius and am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar (I have been searching the forums with no success).
When I was on Gingerbread, the bluetooth audio streaming to my Toyota Prius was working fine. I recently upgraded to the leaked ICS builds and for the first week it seemed to be ok but I am now experiencing (for lack of a better way to describe it) intermitent bluetooth audio. About 90% of the time when I play music in my car it sounds like there are long pauses/drop outs (If I continually do pause/play it sometimes works). The really strange thing is that it initially worked fine and even now if I try my motorola headset it works perfectly. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there are any suggestions on how to fix it? I have tried multiple versions of the ICS ROMS and the issue seems to be persistant across all of them.
Skyrocket currently running the NexusMod rom (having tried many more) and have tried to clear the cache (both of them), fix the permissions, and superwipe/reinstall the various roms.
Thanks,
Dave

[Q] S3 Audio (Static & Crackles Only)

My audio has completely stopped working, except for Bluetooth which seems unaffected. Whether it's thru the earpeice, the speaker, or line out, the audio is nothing but static and crackles...and what I can only assume is the emergency tone (very annoying, very loud, rising pitch squeal). If I try to play audio or video, the sound crackles and then the file stops playing. This is both speaker and line out. If I try to listen to Google Voice message, it's nothing but static.
Phone is currently running CleanROM 6, which I just reinstalled fresh after a complete internal wipe hoping that would fix my issue, but it hasn't. Problem originally surfaced while running LiquidSmooth 2.9 and then I restored my CR6 Nandroid which, of course, didn't help either. Baseband has been updated to current version, which was also no help. Again, BT audio is just fine.
Thoughts, ideas, help?!!!
Thanks, Mike
Tried two different kernels, also no change.
Can anyone confirm that Bluetooth audio output does NOT go through the soundboard?

Resurrection Remix Rom Bluetooth issue fix

Hi all,
New to posting so hope this is in the right spot.
I have recently flashed the Resurrection Remix Rom 5.1.0 for my GS3 on Verizon. I have been using it for a few days now and so far it seems pretty sold and really like it including all of the features it has to offer. However I have come across an issue with the Bluetooth staying connected. I am able to make a solid connection with my phone to my car where I can make calls and stream music however this connection only stays for about 30 seconds. After that my car displays Contact transfer failed, call history transfer failed, and audio player disconnected. My phone will reconnect however without me doing anything but will continue to cycle like this. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this and any possible fixes there might be? I wasn't sure if there was another Bluetooth.apk I could install or another Rom (not TW) that might be able to provide a more solid Bluetooth connection? Thanks.
Happens on my one plus 3 also. No idea on how to fix it. Choppy videos as well.

Samsung a51 audio not working

I don't know if I'm in the real place, I'm really new here(about posting something)
So I got an a51 from my brother, it was rebooting constantly and wouldn't play or record audio. I tried a bunch of things that will be listed further. But you know now what I know. I can't tell when it started, the phone is kinda old. And that's what I got. Audio wouldn't play, I started to focus on that first. Weirdly enough when I first flashed stock firmware, audio was working just fine, until it rebooted by itself. Also, after that, I noticed build.prop was missing almost everything, including USB mtp settings, audio codecs, just quite literally enough to boot phone. I tried to change it for some fota.zip that came in ap with stock firm, no luck tho. If you think that's the problem, can you help me find a stock and not installation build.prop or idk?
It recognizes if the one connected is a headset, or a Bluetooth, or even the phone's speaker, but nothing. If I try to play an audio file it says the format is unsupported, and any application that uses microphone or audio output will prompt an error.
I've tried:
...Flashing custom audio (drivers? Idk, it was v4a and james)
....Changing the entire sub board, or whatever it's called in English
...changing settings
...nand option in Odin
...downgrading to android 11 and 10
Device:
...android 11 (it came as android 12)
...sm-a515f/t
...carrier: zto
I thank you since now sz
