Jelly Bean Bluetooth freeze/crash

Anyone having similar problems with bluetooth audio streaming on Tab 7.7 with new JB firmware please, post your device names to this thread.
I will post any future updates from Samsung here as well
Original post:
Major disappointment after using Bluetooth A2DP with Samsung HS3000 headset(apt-x compatible).
Tested with stock music player, google music and poweramp. After playing for a few minutes, tab starts to slow down, then player might freeze, tab settings freeze, reboot into the eternal samsung logo. Only way out long press on power.
ICS was pretty bad, but at least it played for 20-30 minutes before going kaboom ...
Please, post your experiences with Bluetooth audio streaming.

i'm using Jabra clipper and Jabra stone... havent had any of those problem you mention... yet...

I use a Jawbone Era and Jambox and have not had these problems.

All headsets listed above do not support apt-x.
Maybe this is the key to this problem.
Anyone with apt-x capable headset or speakers?

may be because its old device... cant support apt-x

Same prob

hi, actually it should support apt-x. Same prob here it is awful. A fix would be fantastic.

I used nokia bh 505 - played music for 4hrs, no glitch whatsoever

Mine syncs fine with older aftermarket car stereo, Jawbox Jambox and also a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with none of these issues.
Now, it does reboot occasionally a different times but that's another story...

another prob
Hi guys, thanks for your answers. But I think the problem is more an apt x Codecs problem and less a bluetooth problem.

Over 5 weeks passed.
No updates. I still can not use 2 Samsung products which supposed to work with each other.

BT drivers are compiled in the kernel. I just wonder if there is an option (to enable) for further device support within the .config prior to compile.
Will take a look in approx 3 weeks time. Please remember to PM (remind) me before then and see if anything can be done.
Edit: please PM me anyway, because IF something can be done, you will be required to flash a custom kernel, and if you don't want that, let me know so I don't waste my time
Cheers,

No bluetooth media audio in 2013 optima, anyone else?

In my other cars it works fine so I know its my Kia but I don't have any idea how I can rectify this. Called the tech at Kia and he said they've not tested the note 7 and may never as the car is a few years old so It looks like I'm on my own here. On my 2013 Kia optima w/ navi I do not get media audio so only BT that works is the phone. It will show the first song sometimes on pandora (Streaming audio, NOT pandora app radio) but never will update after that. All audio always comes from phone. I can change songs from the stereo but that's it. Totally useless. Works fine in my other cars and my BT radio in my garage so it's a problem w/ my Kia but WTF?? My note 3 and a note 5 work just fine. Very disappointing.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggested fixes?

Other than the usual going into the settings of both your Kia's radio and your new phone to remove both devices from the list of available devices and re-pair them both, not sure what else you can do? There appears to be a widespread issue with the Note 7's ability to maintain a solid bluetooth connection for a lot of folks out there including me. Hopefully its a software issue and not a hardware issue in which case Samsung should already be well aware of it and working on a resolution.

I am having the exact same problem with a 2013 Sonata Limited 2.0. Reset the phone and even swapped it out for another. It connects to my portable Bluetooth speakers with no issues. My M8 and M9 connect to my car just fine. I'm hoping some type of fix is available.

So I spoke w/ my kia service manager today and we had a talk. I told him all the steps i've gone through and also that i've tried two different kia/hyunais and it didn't work in either. He has started a ticket and has an in w/ the audio designers at Kia so he says. I originally thought it was MM that was the issue but my wife has an S5 w/ MM and it works fine. She has BT 4.0 and I have 4.2 I'm wondering if that is part of the issue.
So you tried two note 7s and they both did it? That was something I wanted to try.

Yes, I did and same problem persists. It almost seems like the Bluetooth profile on the phone is not backwards compatible.
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

The odd thing is it shows the first song in pandora on the stereo. I can also control forward but not play/pause from my stereo just no audio. Do you have the same behavior? Sso AVRCP is sort of working at least. I think you may be onto something about the BT profile even though it should be backward compatible.
Dave

Is it just Pandora or all media files playing back from your Music Library on the phone? It could be a Pandora thing. I have a 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6 and my bluetooth works fine using my Note 7.

I tried spotify as well. Even waze only goes through phone speaker. No media audio option comes up in
In bluetooth.

So their first response to the service manager is below. How can 2013 MY have AVN 2.0 and by 2016 they're already at AVN 4.0 and basically saying FU to anyone w/ an "olde" car that is 3 years old.
To my knowledge, that platform is no longer tested (it is an AVN 2.0 and we are up to AVN 4.0 and developing AVN 5.0) however, advise would be for the customer to continue to update their phone, delete pairings and re-pair after they update their phone software. I can send this information to the Bluetooth team and see if they are able to duplicate anything on a vehicle however, it's hard to guarantee compatibility on older models with newer phones and software.
I would have to check and see if any later software is available however, sometimes a map update will give the customer the latest head unit software however, that is not covered under warranty."

I'm having the same problem on my brand new Kenwood radio. My note 4 works perfectly but the note 7 will only connect for calls no media
Sent from my SM-N930P using XDA-Developers mobile app

2013 Altima SL no issues with BT on Note 7 connecting and heard through car speakers. I use several podcast apps and never had a problem.

Different cars handle the 4.2 protocol differently obviously.

I did create a trouble ticket for those who would like to chime in .

Hmm...I'll have to try mine again. I've used it no problem on my Kenwood deck for calls. But I don't think I've even tried streaming audio yet.

Samsung's stance is it is my car. Despite the car working w/ the Note 3, Note 5 and S5. Everyone is passing the buck. This phone is about to be returned.

There's no firmware update for your car radio? Just curious if you hadn't gone that route yet. My parents had a similar issue on their Ford Focus.

Mine worked fine, tried it on the way to work. Both the regular BT streaming and the Pandora setting in the radio worked. Volume, change tracks etc. This is just a cheapie $100 Kenwood Excelon I bought earlier this year.

Nope, most up to date. Spoke to the Kia Bluetooth team and they said they have no plan to resolve.

And you have a note 7 correct? I'd be curious what model head unit you both have to compare the differences to see wtf is causing this.

Help regarding headphone issue

Hello there,
I just received my xz premium today, and to my big surprise my headphones (Huawei am185) can't be used with the phone.
I get a message saying ''headphones not supported .......'''
Can that really be true? - never had that issue before with any phone nor' headset.
Is there a way to fix it, and what kind of headset doesent work, kinda scared buying a new pair of headphones that ain't from sony, if they dont work.

Not sure what to say about your issue... I have tried two different headset/headphones and both work without any trouble at all.

Well, i tried some other headphones aswell - they worked fine.
Maybe it's because its from huawei?

is it a certain feature that's not working with them or are they not working at all when you try to play music?

They are not working at all

Bullet Wireless Track Control

Does anyone know of a way (or an app) that will let me skip back a track. It used to be three clicks on the wired bullets but it doesn't appear to work on the wireless set.
Any suggestions welcome

O2 store. Worst marketing ever. Saw someone's comments on Facebook that they were selling them. Ordered and arrived a day later.
But on topic... Track control and now audible feedback is bloody non existent. For example long press doesn't give you the Google notification 'ping' to let you know you can start taking to Google Assistant.
And as above, no skip to previous track option.
Shame because their primary function, as earphones, they are bloody good for the money. Comfy as well.

Presumably, as no one has them yet (or very few) this question may stay unanswered for some time.
However, does anyone know whether, in theory, there's scope for changing this should Oneplus feel so inclined?

Presumably this is only for locally stored music? I really wanted this functionality to work with Spotify.
Also I've just tried it. The three clicks does not skip to previous track I am afraid.

looks like works only with local file players , not with streaming apps

Just to be clear, we are on about the wireless bullets here.
I've tried Google Play Music, VLC and JetAudio and it works with none of them so I'm not sure why I'm getting these sort of responses.
The WIRED version works with everything. Even Spotify if you know how.
But the WIRELESS earbuds do not. The functionality does not appear to be supported at present.
So, can anyone actually tell me a) whether in theory it's possible, or better still, b) if they've managed to do it and if so how?

Also looking for a solution on this!

At this point I'll take a theoretical solution I. E. Can it be done.
I'm absolutely baffled by the decision however

Have posted this as a bug with OnePlus because I can't get my head around this UI decision.

Android 9/PIE update on S9+

I have successfully updated my S9+ to android 9 using Odin.I have used it for over a week now and the ONLY MAJOR issue is the inability to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier. I have several pictures of what Pie looks like on the s9+.

Oh and what about share some download link

Can confirm working on s9+
Only problems I've had is Bluetooth car phone calls apparently sound like garbage to the other person and when the phone call ends it doesn't tell my car it's ended and when it resumes music it sounds like someone putting sound dampening material on my speakers. I have to turn my Bluetooth off and on again and it's fixed.
Also popup view isn't working correctly. The X at the top where you can drag the popup to dismiss it won't leave until you stop the process which is just a quick restart for me.
The original post says dual cameras isn't working yet but it does for me. I have normal and telephoto buttons in the camera app.
WiFi calling also doesn't work. Nor does device care.
I also feel like my Sprint LTE slowed quite a bit. Nothing loads nearly as fast on data.

Well it's not really sold for 1000 ... It's about 700 on Amazon. I bought mine for 600... In a year's time it will go for 500...refurbished 400 yet I don't think any X's will sell under a 1000....
still s9+ is not to be played with unstable Android from xda... It never will work as factory intended...
Anyone wanna play with Android's, buy xiaomi or oppo...
Anyhow, if u hold s9+ in hand vs xs, iPhone easily satisfy double the worth....
As I mentioned I feel hugely let down by Samsung's camera no matter what anyone reviewer say... Android is for geeks, iPhone is for people who want a dependable credible high a quality phone that no Android touches.... End of story
