bluetooth audio issue - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I am on Sprint, rooted and have frozen some bloatware. Poweramp insists on playing automatically whenever I get in the car. They cannot support me and do not have an answer. Is there a music player out there that does not start up automatically whenever it finds a bt connection? I have tried Jetaudio and did not like the audio quality. I have also notice that sometimes I am getting only one channel of stereo. Any suggestions?
Update : also noticing that bt sometimes streams only one channel...

Music skips via bluetooth

Hi, is there a resolution to my HTC EVO 3D skipping (more like it stops playing then resumes in about a second or 2) my music via my Bluetooth motorcycle helmet. I did not have this issue with my HTC Hero.
I have the same problem, or issue...i have a ChatterBox GMRS X1 Bluteooth that I use to listen to music while riding to work. Mine skips just like yours every once and a while and I have come up with the to the following conslusions
1) The OTA update that I have not applied sets off a ringtone every so often, this cuts out music for a second then returns - this is by far the most repetitive reason I can come up with
2) Incoming Text Messages play a ringtone, thus cutting out the music for about 2 seconds, then returning to normal.
3) Incoming Phone Calls - this again plays a ringtone and cuts my music out for about 10 seconds, then returns to playing normal.
4) When using Pandora vs. my music library...driving 60 miles up 95 I tend to loose signal or "hop" a lot, so my 3G will cut out for a second or it will re-buffer the song, then play again.
Those reasons above are all what I've noticed when listening to music via bluetooth. I do not use a bluetooth headset for phone calls, I've never liked them. Also, if you take away 1-3 and I listen to my music library on my SD card, I've never had my bluetooth cut out or skip. Hope this info helps.

mine skips to on my blue ant t1,just holding it or sitting next to it on the table and it skipd when im listening to my music,thought it was the mp3 missing data from downloading but its not...anyone have any other idea's or maybe know how to fix this proplem?
I also have this problem. I am using the Nokia BH-214. Every once in a while it freezes and resumes after about half a second.
I'm using a Plantronics Backbeat 903 and have the same issue. Didn't have this before on my E4G.
I really hoping that HTC fixes this issue since It's really an inconvenience when listening to music in that manner.

Same problem intermittently via arctic sound p311.
No problems with my jawbone. Any ideas?
works fine in 2011 sonata and my plantronics headset
same here...skipped a lot when I was at the golfing range. never had that problem with my hero using my jawbone icon
I've been having this same issue using the Plantronics Backbeat 903+. It almost seems like somehow the G sensor is causing the interference. If my phone is sitting on the desk, it plays without a problem, even if I am walking around. If I am carrying my phone though, it pauses, unless I keep my phone level. Could that possibly be affecting it?
Could be since I was on my motorcycle when it was pause and skip, but when I was not moving it was fine.
same skipping issue with multiple music players and jaybird jf3/freedom bluetooth stereo headset. im running steelrom 1.01 and net's kernel.

This is actually the first phone that I have been able to use connected to my car stereo VIA BT with absolutely no skipping at all.

Download Headset Blocker from the market, it's a widget so you have to turn it on if you don't want music to skip when the headphones are plugged in. Hope it helps

Notice it happens when I hold the phone upsidedown, then it would stop playing music for a second or two, then start again.

Does it work for Bluetooth devices?

playing music via Bluetooth?

Has anyone gotten this phone to work playing music through your car stereo through Bluetooth?
I'm paired fine and calls come through stereo, but music still comes through phone speaker. My gf isn't around atm or i'd ask her(she got her HD7 to do bluetooth music on my stereo).
I at least know that once it's paired, it's a phone setting.
I have mine paired with my Sony Bluetooth car stereo and it plays fine. I did have one instance where it played through the phone speaker but it corrected itself the next day.

There should be an option depending on what music player you are using to determine what output you are using. Kinda like if you had a bluetooth earbud, you wouldn't want to play music through it, just receive your calls through it.

So all you did was just pair, started music player, then it automatically went through Bluetooth?
No matter what I do, it just keeps going through phone speaker(only calls go through Bluetooth). I've tried with default music player and poweramp.
I don't have anything bluetooth to try, but there are no options at all to choose output path either in BT or Music player?

Under advanced Bluetooth options there is one labeled FTP Server which I believe you need to have on in order to stream music. Hmm... Tried turning Bluetooth on and off on both the phone and stereo, even rebooted phone. Blah!

When you pair a headset that is stereo capable, it will pair to 2 things, phone audio and media. Have you tried to unpair and pair and see if that fixes it?
I have paired my Rezound with a set of bluetooth stereo headphones and also with my car stereo. I have noticed that the media audio connection is intermittent. It always *says* that it is connected to media audio, but sometimes the sound comes out of my phone speaker anyhow. I have not figured out how to fix this. It seems to happen randomly (more frequently with my car stereo than with the headphones, but it has happened with both). All I can recommend is to go into a Disconnect/Unpair/Pair/Connect loop until you get it to work. It might also help to power cycle your phone. I just did that last night and it paired and connected properly with my car stereo this morning.
This all of course assumes you have checked "Media" under the options screen for the device with which you are pairing.

If it behaves like any other Android phone, when it links up to a bluetooth connection with the audio profile enabled, it should automatically route it's sound to bluetooth, there's no setting in the music player to toggle that.

My car has the option for bluetooth media and when I sync'd the phone to the car last night for the first time it worked flawlessly I didn't have to to anything special. I don't think it's a problem with the phone, maybe the car stereo?
I suspect the phone since I've seen the same intermittent problem both with my car stereo and my headphones. Plus I never had any problem with my original Droid with both those devices.

Update: did a plain old pair with the HTC HD7 again and the music came through the stereo just fine. Tried again with the Rezound and still keeps going through the phone speakers. Oh well... My fault for trusting HTC.. ;P

Pandora issue help

I recently upgraded to Samsung galaxy s4 so bare with me if there some hidden feature I don't know of. My problem is, my pandora app randomly pauses and not sure what can be causing the issue. Sometimes when I'm listening to music and launching another app will pause the music I had no problems when I was on the S3, but it's getting pretty annoying when the music randomly pauses. All I did to the phone was root and install TWRP. Tried clearing Cache and Dalvic cache but that didn't fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated.
At first I thought it was my data connection so I swapped over to wifi and still have problems. No one else is experiencing this?
Mine skips a little on Bluetooth in my car. My s3 never did this but it doesn't pause.

Your smart stay toggle is on....or in the settings you guys have the smart stay settings on and have the phone set to track your eyes. I had this on...videos and music would pause on me....turned it off...doesnt happen anymore.

thanks for your suggestion guys, I figure out the problem. When switching to the S4, I had it paired up to my bluetooth in my car. Apparently the galaxy s4 doesn't auto-connect the A2DP (media side) but only connects the phone side which I have to manually tick every time when I want to stream audio. I downloaded a A2DP app from the play store to force the A2DP to auto-connect to my bluetooth which was the root cause of my pandora constantly pausing.

Bluetooth issues?

Anyone else having weird issues with their Bluetooth? More specifically, when you play music, the metadata adds some weird 01 or 000 digits in front of the track titles? Confirmed with PowerAmp as well as Spotify. Also having static and hiccup issues with it as well. Thought it was my head unit in my car, but it is in fact the phone since it does the same thing with other cars I've tested this in.
I've been having some issues using it with my car too.
I have a aftermarket radio, but this is the only phone that does this.
When a call comes in the music is suppose to stop. It doesn't i'm getting sounds from calls and music at the same time. I would have to manually pause the music on my phone.
Another thing is, when i turn off the car. Normally the phone will automatically pause or shut down the music app when connect is lost. Not with this phone. it just keeps playing the music after loosing connection with the host.
Hoping there is a update to fix this bug. It's not a big thing but it's starting to get annoying...
Mine works fine except the app will randomly close sometimes. Pandora never shuts off. Only gmusic and spotify does. I actually love how much faster this phone connects compared to my note 4.

I haven't notice any issues yet and I use bluetooth 3-4 hrs a day. I use iheart, Poweramp, PlayerPro.
I'll start looking for problems now

Napster Soundprob

Hi Guys!
I do have a serious problem with using napster music.
Until now I strictly used to stream music by BT to my car audio. Thus worked nearly flawless. Now I tried sreaming with no connection to my car and napster wont play to speaker. I tried to reinstall with no effect, tried using soundabout for routing with no effect. Now... I dont know whats this about my tv app plays sound to speaker, so I think napster should be able too...
Any hints on this?!
