[Q] ICS and Bluetooth issue remains when paired and streaming music--- Anyone else? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I havent seem to run in to anyone with this issue.
I pair my phone to my car stereo fine in the stock GB rom. Play music and talk on the phone endlessly.
But with any ICS version so far, even official. It causes reboots, randomly.
Am I the only one suffering from this?

Not the same, but something similar.
I can connect with my car stereo, have to do it twice (once for music streaming and once for handsfree). Once connected, i can stream music fine. Even the controls on my steering wheel work. When I receive a phone call sound is muted and i can talk fine as well.
After I hang up the phone, the music doesn't come back, only a 0.5 second stutter every 2-3 seconds. On my phone, in the music player I can see that it's my phone that has the problem; the visualisation displays exactly how i hear the sound.
This behaviour also occurs when I turn off my car and turn it on again.. there doesn't seem to be a single thing that i can do to get music to play again, just some fiddling usually gets it to work (but then i have to stop my car first before i can have music..)
If anyone has any ideas for troubleshooting let me know!

I honestly think ics has compatibility issues with certain bluetooth devices.
We can only hope they realize this and take measures to correct it.
Gingerbread is flawless.

Just a notice that this seems fixed for me now.
I've upgraded to the 4.0.4 Rom found here: Click!
Next to this i'm using the app "doubleTwist"
ICS talks a different language then gingerbread when it comes to A2DP, especially for the play/pause commands, which seem important to me..

A2DP issues
I find I have similar issue. I have a SONY bluetooth deck in my car and my phone will lock up and force restart mid song or mid phone call.
Anyone have any ideas apart from flashing that 4.0.4 Rom

Bluetooth audio in car to phone not working

So, I'm having a strange issue with my new Note that I can't quite determine where the root cause may be, or if it's a known issue.
If I register my Note with my car as both a phone and an audio device (how the Infiniti nav/stereo works) I can use the Note as a phone fine UNLESS I start an audio app, such as Pandora. Once a2dp audio starts the Note will no longer connect as a phone device, but it works fine for audio.
I had the phone paired with the stock ATT rom but only used it as a phone, so unfortunately, without a restore to stock, I can't tell if the problem exists with the stock rom.
I flashed to flappjaxxx's rom (which I love) the same day I setup the phone to run Pandora via Bluetooth and that's when I started seeing the problem.
I also see some random connect/reconnects that seem a bit more than usual.
So, I can't say there's a correlation, or if this is a known ICS beta issue or what, but I'm hoping it is and that it's not a design flaw
Way I see it it's either:
1. Flashing to any ICS beta rom has the problem, currently?
2. It's in flappjaxxx's build (doubtful)
3. It's user error...(possible )
4. It's an app issue (ie. Pandora is causing the problem?)
Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or insights? I've done some searching but haven't found this exact issue yet on any posts.
Thanks!
I have a Kenwood DNX9960 in my Avalanche. It connects also for phone and for streaming media. I can be streaming media from either the stock music player or an internet site like pandora or TuneIn and my calls will automatically come through. When the call ends it goes right back to streaming.
It autoconnects to both as long as my phone is in range when I turn on the kenwood. I did have an issue at first where it would not autoconnect. I deleted the pairing from both my phone and headunit. Then when I repaired I paid close attention to check any boxes to "Always" allow connection and I haven't had any issues since.
I understand the normal pairing process, I've had several phones before that worked fine prior to the Note. So, I'm thinking that it is probably a corrupt bluetooth db... I'm going to be reflashing to Flaps new rom and we'll see how that does
Is there a way to delete the pairing from the nav? I would try that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
There is. I've tried it all, on both sides of the pairing.
I've reflashed the phone to the B6 from FJ, still no joy. The pairing db was new (so no chance of corruption on the phone) and the pairing deleted on the device.
It seems to be a problem with the phone switching between a2dp and phone bt. When a call comes in (while playing say Pandora over bt) the audio cuts out and then the car shows "disconnected" and then "connection failed" if trying to reconnect to the Note as a phone (ie hitting the phone button in the car).
I'm hoping it's the current ICS build. Just have no way to really know. Hoping some other folks will have seen the same issue.
Going to run some tests with different audio sources and see if the behavior is the same.
Well things seem to be working now, for no obvious reason I'll have to assume that the reflash resolved the issue, I just can't tell for sure why it didn't work immediately after. I think it's due to deleting the old pairing on the car and not shutting down the vehicle.
Cheers.
BT connections
I have similar problem connecting to van audio system (vauxhall). After some experimentation it appears to be an ICS problem, if I reflash my note with gingerbread I have seamless connections for both audio and phone. As soon as I upgrade even with offical ICS bluetooth connections become problematic, I can pair but not autoconnect. Tried samsung and they just "fob off" with it's an incompatable device. Until a bug fix is issued it appears as though it's a choic of staying with gingerbread and have a working system or ICS and no handsfree.

[Q] Droid RAZR XT912 Bluetooth issue with OTA Jellybean

I updated my phone to the new Jellybean, and everything works great except for one issue, which is a major one in my case:
I have an '11 Corolla with Bluetooth which has always worked great for me. It worked fine with my phone when it was on ICS. Everything came through the care stereo just fine. With JB, it works with some things, but not with everything like it did before. Phone calls still work fine, the stock music player works fine, and PowerAmp works fine. Problem is, that's the only things that still run through my car audio now. I listen to a lot of audio books on my commute to and from work. The app I have always used for this is Mort Player. Now, all I get when the bluetooth is on is silence. I have found this to be true with every other app I have tried as well. The music player in Motocast doesn't work. Google navigation doesn't work. I've also tried numerous other apps as well like Smart Audio Books, Akimbo, CoPilot, none of them work through the Bluetooth any more.
When I upgraded to JB, the only modifications I had made to the phone was rooting it, and I converted my Power Toggles app to a system app using Titanium so that I can use it as a one-touch switch for my GPS. However, before upgrading, I converted Power Toggles back to a standard app. So other than root, it was completely stock. I haven't found much useful information for this issue, probably because JB isn't widely installed on most RAZR's, but it is a little irritating. I've tried everything, including doing a complete factory reset, but it's always the same.
If I play another app while the stock music player or PowerAmp is playing, then the sound will come through mixed, but not on it's own. Another thing I noticed is that before, my stereo would just display a blank screen when something was playing, or "Pause" if nothing is playing, but now, it displays the name of the song that the stock player or PowerAmp is playing. If you pause it it on the phone, it continues to display the last song played. It only says "Pause" if you press the pause button on the car stereo.
Has anyone else had issues with their bluetooth audio with JB, or know of a fix for this issue?
EDIT: As an added note, I deleted the pairing from my car stereo before doing the factory reset, then re-paired the phone after the reset. Still the same result.
Same sort of issues
Well I could have tried to delve a little deep into this issue, as when ever i tried to pair my phone and send files to my fiance phone it would just not do anything and the issue of showing the same song that was last played shows up in on my sony ericsson blue tooth M600 as well.
But for now i am just complete stuck at the issue that i accidently pressed gsm band selection to USA or the gsm patch. which has caused my phone to just ignore the network completely now network is working.
I would suggest you should try to root and install safe strap 3.11 and then install a leaked jelly bean custom mod it might help but just check the details first and if you are not sure with any of the process let me know before trying. I had my share of issues so I can help you answer those before you try and make a mistake.
For now I am downloading unbrick and will see if i can get this phone to ICS and work again from there.
thanks
From my understanding, once you have upgraded to JB with the leaked OTA, you can't go back to ICS. I'm assuming that is because there has been an update to the bootloader. As a result, I'm hesitant to install any type of bootstrap because I'm not sure if the currently available ones (like Safe Strap) will be an issue and possibly brick my phone.

Bluetooth streaming to car stereo problem...

Strange new problem...
I use a bluetooth car stereo, and on my phone I have "Smart AudioBook". Basically what happens it, when I start the engine, the phone and stereo sync automatically and it starts playing my audiobook from where it left off. When I turn the car off, it stops.
This all worked fine when I was using a previous ROM (one of the SuperNexus ones, 4.2.2 I think).
I recently changed my ROM though and upgraded to the CM10.2 jellybean 4.3 rom.... but there was some pretty terrible battery issues, and the bluetooth problem started. (Which ill describe below).
I thought it might be a ROM issue though so I tried SlimBean (another jellybean 4.3 rom) and that fixed the battery problem, but the Bluetooth issue was still there... but I couldnt see ay other references to 4.3 causing bluetooth problems (they were apparently all in 4.2, though I never had an issue before..)
THE PROBLEM:
The book will play normally, for a couple minutes or so, but then suddenly the audio will stop, and the stereo screen will say "paused". But if I look at my phone screen, the audiobook is still running (silently thought). I cannot unpause it using the stereo button.
BUT.. if I actually pause it on the phone screen, THEN I can unpause using the stereo and it will start playing through the car speakers again.
This cant be a problem with the stereo, as nothing has been altered on it. This is clearly an android thing.
I am considering one of the 4.2.2 ROMS to install next, and see if that solves anything, but I was wondering if anyone out there had any thoughts on other ways to fix this?
Thankyou
Bluetooth and cm dont mix. 4.3 is still in early stages. Best bet is custom stock based 4.1.2
This has bin covered alot.

Bluetooth on lollipop roms plays slow

I haven't seen anyone else post this yet so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a Bluetooth speaker in my car that works fine on stock or on kit Kat roms. But on every lollipop rom I've tried, the audio through the Bluetooth is slightly slowed down (resulting in everything sounded a little lower) and kind of choppy.
The audio plays fine through the phones speaker or through a headset, it's only on Bluetooth that this happens.
Any body else having this problem? Any suggestions?
Same issue here.
I think it may be the speaker I'm using, because I had the same issue when I connected my tablet to it that is also running lollipop. I need to find a different Bluetooth device and see if the problem persists.

I was doing a search on this issue myself, which brought me here. It's actually only one speaker I have that does this, and it's the newest BT device I have. It's the HDMX Rave portable BT speaker. It worked fine with the KK ROMs I was using at the time I got it, but ever since updating to LP, only that speaker of all the BT audio devices I own does that.
Weird...
Similar Issue
Hi,
I've also experienced this, although it seems my Bluetooth plays much worse than yours. It's slow for a bit, then choppy and breaks up, then it'll speed up the music to get back to where it should be. It renders Bluetooth music completely unusable.
I've found:
High CPU usage causes this in KK (skydragon) for me. The high-usage culprit is the netd module, not sure if that's relevant.
I've flashed Jasmine Lollipop (5.0.11) lots of different ways, with several different modems, and it still has this issue.
It doesn't seem to depend on the app, as it happens with the default music app and with Spotify (192 Kbps).
It happens on both of my Bluetooth devices, a cheapo portable speaker and my nicer car stereo. I don't know the BT versions they use.
Disabling WiFi helps a little, disabling data does nothing.
Anyone have any workarounds?
i had the same problem when connecting to my car speaker.
funny thing is some days it works great, and other days all of a sudden it just plays all slow. anyone got fix?
So I've been doing some more tinkering. Turning off WiFi will fix the issue for my "dumb" bluetooth speaker (it's a pair button and a power switch only), however it will only fix the issue for the first ~3 minutes on my Clarion car stereo (with all sw updates). I've disabled literally every Bluetooth service, activity, provider, and responder that isn't essential for A2DP connections. I'm able to access the hidden menu item for Bluetooth testing, but I don't really know how to use it. If someone has directions for that I'd gladly put my phone through the paces.

Bluetooth playback issues

Hello all,
I'm experimenting some issues with my OPX while listening to music in Bluetooth.
I have the last update and I use Play Mauic.
1) When i am at the middle of the song and I connect for example, the song starts again on the Bluetooth device whereas on my phone it still display the middle of the song. Like 2:13/3:26 for example. It isn't a big issue but maybe it's linked to the others.
2) randomly, when a song is automatically skipped to the next one, because it has ended, again my player shows that the next song is playing whereas I can't hear anything or sometimes it stutters A LOT, like I can hear one second for each 10 seconds. To fix if I just have to click on "previous" so the song start again and it works flawlessly. This issue happens very often.
Is it a known issue? Is there a fix? I've never seen this kind of issue with other devices ao I'm sure it's because of the OPX.
Thank you.
I got the same issue. It is very annoying. You can also make the title play again by moving the progress slider a little bit back or forward. It happens also with other music players.
Someone answered on my G+ post it happens with headphone jack too. I haven't tried it tho.
I got this problem with my Sennheiser MM100 as well as on my Bose Soundlink 2.
I have also a mini sound link 2.
Buy with my cans it doesn't happen (through jack)
If it's a common problem, let's hope we'll get a fix soon.
I find it crazy that even now there is no fix. It's getting really annoying and 1+ is doing nothing, as well as for the shutters in video playback (on YouTube or Facebook). I'm definitely disappointed and thinking about selling my phone. Did anyone find a fix?
I'm using BlackPlayer, no issues with blueooth playback stutter. Issue 1) is no problem for me, I want to hear the song from start.
No random skips or stutter.

I'm sorry but I don't care the way I should use my phone, I use it as I wish and as I've always done, it's not to OnePlus to dictate me how to use my phone. It's good if you don't care but I do. I don't want to change my habits. However you didn't my problem, it's not about random skips, it just that sometimes there's no more sounds which are casted, so it's a real issue, it's not about the starting over.
Listening to music through bluetooth is just a pain, and the phone is out for months, OnePlus did nothing. That's sad.
I'm on OOS 2.1.3-x and I use Double twist player with no problem over bluetooth. So maybe the problem is Play music

I've never had your 'no more sounds which are casted' issue experince through bluetooth. Are you full stock?
Bluetooth issues
OnePlus 2 is a pretty decent phone, offering good build quality and performance for a reasonable price.
Turn the Bluetooth off and then turn it on back again.
Clear the Bluetooth cache by going to its Settings.
Restart the phone once you have cleared the cache.
Try deleting the old and unused connections and then set up the connection all over again.
Someone tryed Bluetooth playback with the newest 2.2.1 update yet?
Last week Thursday I went back from cm13 to OOS since 2.2.0x "fixed Bluetooth". Well guess what. It didn't. Still the same problem that the next song in line gets mutet after a while of playing music through Bluetooth on my MM100 or Bose Soundlink 2.
Some things I realise:
-Poweramp don't have this issues on OOS since it handles music in an other way. So this might be a workaround for people.
-Play Music or Shuttle+ don't work nice with OOS (I needed to switch songs 27 times in order to make it play again in 6h of playing. That's ridiculous)
-back on CM13 based ROM(and CM13 self) I don't have this kind of problems. Play Music works as it should (guess Shuttle too).
Would be nice to hear if the 250mb big update fixed this bug so I can go back to Stock since I kind of like it.

Hi,
Listening music on my USB/Bluetooth speaker is working like a charm but listening music on my Bluetooth car is impossible (like importing contact and calling)
