[Q] Bluetooth problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Need some help with this, getting quite frustrated:
I have an international S III (i9300) and whatever rom I use I have the exact same problem that seems to be related to bluetooth.
- First use it connects to my caraudio (pioneer deh-4400bt) and it works great, good sound etc.
- Than I start Sygic (navigation) on the Phone, which I set in the "Always use internal speaker mode", so it doesnt use BT
Now two things happen:
- In sygic the sound through the internal speaker is very soft
- When I try calling with the carkit it does connect and make the call, but I hear a terrible garbled sound and i don't hear the other side
When I turn off bluetooth and than start Sygic... sound is perfectly loud
I have tried several roms, lastly thinking the issue might be solved with 4.2.2 but still the same
Is bluetooth hardware or software, and, when software, is it kernel or modem related?
Anybody know what causes this problem and how to solve it?

Bluetooth and in built car system.

I was wondering if anyone could help with this problem. My SGS II connects with my in built (Ford) car system, its does everything it should apart from that it can not display the call list (in or out). This was also the problem on my SGS on stock roms until I installed CM7 and then the call lists showed up perfectly. Is it the case that Samsung roms are putting the call logs in a different place that cannot be seen by the car system, if so would it be easy to change this or do I have to wait until a CM rom is made for the SGS II.
SGS II as well as SGS has a very gig problems with BT in car on stock ROM. I had SGS before and there was a problems BT constantly drops in AUDI car system. Temporarily it was solved by BT Fix from the market but finaly solved only coming to a custom ROM (all of them solving that). Now Having SGS II It is total disaster in AUDI - first it constantly drops BT connection and even more - if I'm talking by phone during being connecting to BT, connection failed BUT after call finished phone crushed down and it takes 10 second pushing power button to get it back :-( And then in phone all pairings went out! So - do anybody know this case? And waiting for the custom ROM.
I have a Mercedes E-class (new type). No problems at all with the BT. Very quick to connect, and I can control track fw/bw from the steering wheel. No drops. Works with the default music player as well as Spotify. Phonebook transfere is quick.
In terms of functions I also have no any problems but drops and crashes :-(
Ford focus audio bluetooth
Hello,
I have the same issue with the Ford Focus Bluetooth. It plays ans stops all the time. hands-free works great. Did you solve it?
Hello everybody.
the same issue with new Volvo S60. Previously car kit perfectly worked with Nokia E71... As for S2 - I was able to pair the phone and car. But afterwards, connection could be reestablished only if it's initiated from the phone side (I select "My Car" in bluetooth menu of the phone). Without such actions the car is unable to find the device...
Problem was solved for me when last modem was released. Use ROM with XKE2 modem.
Hi all,
Yesterday I have tested SGS2 (LiteROM 1.5) in my BMW E92 LCI and it works really fine so far.
(call, sms, phone adressbook and bluetooth audio streaming).
BMW offers the possibility to connect two phones at the same time.
I successfully connected my nokia business phone for bluetooth call & SGS2 for bluetooth audio streaming only.
SGS2 is the first mobile that I have connected to my car not only displaying title/artist information properly using the default music player,
but also offers good mp3 sound quality over A2DP.
Strange enough, when I use a different music player (e.g. PowerAMP) the title/artist information is not working any longer. Any ideas?
Cheers, Spad
Problem with transmission over car bluetooth
Hi there,
I have a galaxy s2 that used to connect (with no problems) with my alpine CDE-126BT
After I messed around with the service mode for a while trying to crank up the volumes, there is no transmitted voice over the call (the other side can not here me when I'm connected to the car's Bluetooth).
I know that if I reboot the phone all the changes that was done in the service mode would reset to the default settings, it seems to revert back default but I still have the same problem.
Any advice??
Thanks,
David.

[Q] Xperia (U/P/Go) bluetooth headset distorton

I have a strange problem with Xperia Go phone and bluetooth headset. My voice is distorted in the direction to person whom I'm speking and I can not use the headset as daily use.
It seems like the microphone gain is set full-time maximum. If I talk quietly the sound is clear, but if I raise my voice it get distorted.
And this is not just me, some of Xperia (Go/U/P) phone owners report same problem in Sony Xperia™ support forum. For some strange reason, some users do not seem to have any problems?
I've tried three different Xperia phone and five different bluetooth headset device, all have the same problem. Other brand phones with headsets working as it should.
The same problem occurs with a stock ICS / JB and CM9.
How the headset microphone gain is adjusted, is there some mechanism for feedback from the phone? Does anyone here have the same problem?
I had this problem a while ago, Xperia U with Jabra CLIPPER, after using the "repair my phone" functionality in PCC, so contacted the customer support in Jabra and they told me to wait until the battery dies, then recharge, also to use it with Wi-Fi disabled, does not really make sense to me but noticed some improvements, finally sold it, and used a wired headset instead... sad but true...
I have also tried everything to fix the problem: wlan off, charging, screen off, repair phone and hf software, isolated phone to another room (to see if internal mic is active same time with bluetooth mic), tried every settings in audio.conf etc.
I have noticed that the "distortion threshold" depends on bluetooth device - the more expensive device (more sensitive microphone?) - more distortion.
Also, Jelly Bean brought little improvement in the situation, but it does not fix it completely.
Does anyone have an interest / skills to investigate the problem more? Is it possible to monitor messages on phone and the bluetooth device to see if the phone tells bluetooth device to set mic gain at maximum?
seems like my xperia go also having the same problem.. when using bluetooth headset, people cant hear my voice clearly, the mic too sensitive causing my voice distorted, and this problem only happen when using bluettooth headset. tried with a few different bluetooth headset and the problem still there.. any solution for so far? can this problem solve by sending phone to sony service center?

[Q] Blutooth issue in all 4.2.x and above ROMs

Hi, noticed with ALL AOSP / AOKP ROM's 4.2 and above that Bluetooth has an issue, bothering everyday use and still not fixed. Once you use BT car hands free and you want to to take the call back on the handset (internal or external speaker does not make any difference) the sound never comes back to the phone. Tried at least 3 different CM10 and above based ROM's, all has this problem. Anyone can get it fixed? For everyday use this is a real issue, cannot be that you cannot leave your car until you finished the call /or need to close the call and call again with BT off. Not realistic during a daily use. Thanks for any comments

also when calling can't turn off my car. then it quit my call

I was very happy with LiquidSmooth 2.8, so I decided to upgrade to 2.9.
Everything works very well, except for bluetooth.
Symptoms:
- A2DP streaming to my car stereo (JVC x250BT) works
- Bluetooth calls with car stereo result in either no or horrible sound
- Bluetooth calls with my (Parrot ck3100) carkit work sometimes on the first call after a reboot (usually fails)
- Bluetooth calls with a JabraBT215 headset also fail
- All the above has been tested with the device being the only registered (and therefore connected) device.
-- sometimes, I can hear the sound rapidly switching between the handset and the bluetooth device.
Occasionally, I also got no incoming sound during calls with no Bluetooth device connected.
Sometimes, connecting a wired headset would help.
I tried to highlight the point few months ago already on a development forum but I am too junior to be listen to... Even i strongly believe this is a real bug gating real everyday usage if you sometime want to use your phone as a phone..

Did you have an answer there was nothing in your message.
Really need some help here
No one?
If only someone could start of by telling me if bluetooth is kernel or modem related, or can I replace the bluetooth stack?

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.
