[Q] Android Revolution HD 3.6.8 Bluetooth A2DP problem

Just flashed AR HD w/ no-sense for the first time last night, coming from MIUI and so far it's pretty good. I used Cyanogen for quite a while, then MIUI.us, which hasn't been able to get the code for Bluetooth A2DP yet. The "other" MIUI rom fortunately does have A2DP working, but since AR HD is the most popular ROM I'd thought I'd give it a try even though I'm not a fan of Sense.
Major dealbreaker is that I can't connect it to my car's Bluetooth stereo. I had no problems with stock, CM, or the "other" MIUI rom, but with this, I just can't connect to it.
Tried searching around, but couldn't find anything from anyone else having this problem, so I find it strange...
Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks!

Im running 3.6.7 and it quite happily connects to my built it Bluetooh in the car. Although this is for incoming phone calls and not A2DP so I dont know whether this makes any difference.
I ordered a Bluetooh Music receiver from Amazon last week to connect to my home cinema system and I was hoping to use my phone to wirelessly transmit music, now you have me worried! I will report back when it arrives and I have tested it.
Hoping to find it on the doormat when I get home from work today

Hi,
Bluetooth is notoriously poor with sense roms.
Cm7 has a very good bluetooth stack.
Hence you can work games controllers with it. And presumably your car equipment.
On sense roms, though, it can barely work my hands free ear piece.
So, if you use a lot of bluetooth, you are better off on cm7.

Thanks for your response! I've switched back to miui for now, but in searches for a2dp issues with ar HD, I couldn't find anyone having a similar problem...strange...

For those who stream via bluetooth

Has anyone noticed that in 4.0.3 the bluetooth "crackle" while playing music was gone and in the latest leak (4.0.4) it has returned as it was in 2.3.5 & 6?

Nope

I remember people talking about a problem with the bluetooth stack in GB (I had it). When the first ICS leak hit, it was fixed (HUGE difference if your listening). Now it's back in UCLE (bummed). Gonna see if it's there in CM9 Alpha 3. If anyone else experiences this, I would like to know I'm not alone.

I've streamed music VIA bluetooth on both multiple GB roms and the first two ICS leaks. I've never experienced the crackling noise?

I have been running PARANOIDANDROID (just installed v2.11) for about two weeks. When I talk to anyone via my bluetooth headset, they complain about the crackling (and I can also hear it was well). I have tried multiple bluetooth headsets and the crackle is still there. Any thoughts on how to remedy this? It's definitely unusable like this. Thanks in advance!

[Q] Which 4.2.2 Rom has Bluetooth working?

All,
Been on Synergy for the past 3 month and my flashing itch is coming back. I want to start trying 4.2.2...getting tired of TW. Has the 4.2.2 Roms gotten stable as a daily driver? I will predominantly using this for work so stability is key and driving, hence the bluetooth functionality.
I was roaming around the thread cyanogen, carbon and liquid and seem like they all have bluetooth issues?
Anybody on a current ROM that have both stability and working bluetooth?
Thanks for any opinion.

cant comment on bluetooth, but they are certainly stable and daily driver worthy.
hopefully someone else can chime in on the bluetooth specifically

I use cyberon voice commander for BT voice dialing. I have found on all ASOP roms, it works but the volume is low and there is a delay of up to 5 second in acknowledging the voice command.

Bluetooth works fine for me on a Carbon nightly....really like this ROM.

LiquisSmooth 2.5 is very stable. Been using it as a DD since January. Bluetooth works fine when I use it, which isn't much.

I have CM 10.1 RC5, and it's the most stable release they have. I believe they fixed the bluetooth a while ago. I only use it for audio streaming to my car, so I can't really comment on headsets or whatever else you might use it for.
But to my knowledge, bluetooth works. :good:

Bluetooth audio is terrible on stock ROMs. Help?

Hey, guys. I would *LOVE* to use a stock KitKat ROM variant on my Note 3, as it performs better and has some more useful features than what comes with CM11. However, I'm forced to use CM11 because my Bluetooth headphones (Jaybird Bluebuds) sound awful under stock. Everything sounds compressed and high notes in particular sound undersampled and robotic.
I've tried replacing the Bluetooth stack with the same one used in CM and AOSP ROMs to no avail, and I can't seem to find any settings that help with this issue.
Is anyone else having the same problem?

Having the same problem with my portable speaker. I've been searching for a solution with no avail.
I'm thinking of reporting this to samsung, but I don't know how.

My problem is the other way around, great sound on stock but my bluetooth speaker makes hissing and popping sounds with cm.

[Q] Ongoing Bluetooth Headset outgoing voice quality issues - recommended ROM?

I am currently having outgoing voice quality issues while using a bluetooth headset (or in car/truck bluetooth) that I am trying to nail down with both HTC and Jawbone. I'm 90% sure at this point it's an HTC issue. I purchased an HTC One M8 on Verizon a week or so ago and immediately had issues with my Jawbone ERA. Voices sounded fine on my end but my voice on the other end sounded static-ey and overly loud - almost like the mic was too hot. I tried a ton of troubleshooting steps with both Jawbone and HTC and so far the issue remains. I also took the phone back and exchanged it for a new one and the new phone has the same issue. I've now tried 5 different bluetooth devices all with the same/similar result.
I found an old HTC One (M7 I think?) thread over on Android Central that seemed to be discussing the same issue:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/309574-anyone-else-having-bluetooth-headset-sound-quality-issues-one.html
but no solution was found and it sounds like most people there just sort of gave up.
Sorry for the long explanation but one thing I wanted to try was using a ROM with a different bluetooth stack or system to see if that might point me to an HTC software issue vs a strict hardware issue. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm fairly comfortable with installing ROMs though on my old Droid, Safestrap certainly made it easier for me.
Thanks!

I had a ridiculous static with my jaybirds so I just ended up returning the headphones and ditching Bluetooth sadly. I don't think a ROM will change it

So there's no difference in bluetooth implementations between a Sense based ROM and say an AOSP or CM based ROM?

Well, out of curiosity I s-off'd the phone, perma-rooted, and flashed TWRP. I installed the GPE ROM, the Viper ROM, and the latest nightly of Cyanogenmod. Interestingly, the CM rom seemed to have MUCH improved outgoing bluetooth voice quality. The other ROMs all had the same issue.
Does CM somehow use a different bluetooth stack or something that would cause this? Honestly, I'd stay on the CM but I actually like some of the HTC features (like the duo-camera) and not sure I'd want to give those things up. Would it somehow be possible to use CM's bluetooth solution in something like the GPE ROM or even stock?

I'm on CleanRom and I'm also extremely sensitive to Bluetooth quality issues. I'm using both a Plantronics Legend and the Bose ear pieces and I hook the device up to a Pioneer DEH-80PRS in my car. I have to say I've never had a better Bluetooth experience. No complaints - superb quality - both ends

I'm now also on CleanRom and it is definitely better. My few tests so far weren't quite as clear as my CM tests but MUCH better than stock. This seems so strange to me. This is just a stripped down Sense ROM, like others yet a significant difference in quality. Both Viper and GPE had the same bad quality as stock. I wish I had the understanding/capability to truly root cause the issue as I'd love to have the freedom to use whichever ROM I choose. However, I do very much like CleanRom for now - the Verizon bloat on this phone was the worst I've ever had yet I do like a few of the Sense 6 features.
