is anyone experiencing the refresh issues with iguidence they did with the leaked radio? i havent had a chance to test it and would love to sell my bluetooth gps receiver if the new radio work flawlessly with iguidence.
The refreshing issue was due to the intermediate gps driver, if you use gpsgate you shouldn't experience any refreshing issues.
I found out that certain combinations of ROMS and Kernels work better with my CAR Bluetooth then other combinations. For instance CM6 is not working perfect and is uncertain to reconnect to my Car system. On the other hand most Sense ROMS work better with my Car system.
So in this project I wanna track down first which components have influence on the bluetooth stack, and more important which specific parts of the kernel, software and other things are related.
This to improve the BT Car system of at least my Scenic but I have the feeling more Car systems have issues.
Please if you have info about this put it in this treath so we can make it better.
Nice initiative. My BT system in my car works flawlessly with WinMo, but as soon as I connect my nexus, my speakers begin shrieking like all hell breaks loose. Also, My Nexus the seems to lock up and I need to pull the battery for all misery to end.
LOL.
That was the first time I connected the bugger, so I wasprobably still running Eclair when I tried it.
6.1.1 works well for me, both bluetooth calling and a2dp.
Theres a little fuzziness going on when nothing is playing, like white noise, but that's pretty much my only problem. No wait, there is one more thing actually, every now and then while music is playing it'll skip more or less a second
Just to add... I have to repair and disable/enable by every time I get in the car or the sound will drop out every 15-30s on any rom that uses froyo. GB seems to help where I only need to disable / enable bt. Kenwood x-993 with parrot bt. Using latest bt firmware.

This happens to me too once every three or four songs, but it's such a small thing it doesn't bother me much. On the other hand, for the short while I was using MIUI, I felt it was happening much less, but I may have been imagining that
Heres my setup, and it works flawlessly every time i start the car.
Car Deck: JVC KD-R900 (Using the small bluetooth adapter that came with the unit mounted in the back USB port)
ROM: Enomthers TheOfficial Nexus1 v2.14.3
Kernel: 2.6.32.35-TheOfficial-AudioMOD-720p
Radio: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
OS Version: 2.2.1
Like i said earlier i have no problems with the audio quality or connecting to my unit. As soon as i turn my Bluetooth on it connects within about a minute.
Calling quality is good, audio quality is good and AVRCP works also (play/pause/next/prev)
If you need anymore info just let me know.
Its good to see there is some reaction on the start of this.....
My goal is to achieve and to find out which components are involved in the Bluetooth experience:
F.I. :
* Kernel modules and libs
* Application in the rom to actually making the connection
* Bluez configuration and settings
I have done some searching but found that even with the same Bluez settings there can be a difference between some roms in combination with kernel.

Me too, same model. I've updated the firmware on the X993 and it seemed to help.

Same here on my DDX-812. Almost everything "works", I just get the drop-out when streaming music if it's not a fresh pairing.
The bluez stack was updated with Gingerbread...I'm hoping against hope that that fixes some things.
i have to use a no-audio-boost kernel with my jabra headset, otherwise the call quality is abysmal. lots of metallic clicking and other strange effects going on.
but i have seen no differences in the overall connection stability otherwise.
hmm i have a problem with my car dock and bluetooth i think. when using the navigation the voice plays via the phones speaker not the dock speaker. is this similar to the problem in the 1st post? if so, would love a fix!
I'm on CyanogenMod Nightlies with the included Kernel and have a Kenwood DDX8024BT with built in bluetooth. It connects up perfectly when I turn the ignition on and seems fine when in call. I don't use the A2DP much but when I have I've not had any problems.
Slightly OT, the only problem I have is with reading contacts from the phone. I have two phones paired. I usually have the Nexus connected but occasionally switch to my work phone (a Tocco Lite). At some point it took the contacts from my work phone and then wouldn't redownload the Nexus contacts when it was reconnected. It's now done it at some point but there's a handful of contacts that still won't transfer no matter what I try.
On a side note, I have a Clarion CZ500 rig in my car, and the N1 is incompatible with the microphone boost firmwares they offer on their site. All I hear is crackling when I try to make or receive a call.
What's odd is that the HTC Desire works fine with those firmware. Even Blackberry Pearl.
I ordered the N1 dock on eBay. I guess I'll see if the dock can handle the firmware.
i have a n1 and im still running cm 5.0.8 with android 2.1
my phone pairs with my car without any problems and i am able to talk to people and whatnot. Now as far as music, i use a blackberry music gateway bluetooth device that i plug into my car's 3.5mm jack and then i pair that device with my phones bluetooth. It pretty much connects automatically all the time and sound quality is awsome however as someone mentioned earlier in this thread, i get the occasional 1 second skip every so often. Does anyone have any idea whats causing this and how can i fix it? It is extremely annoying!!! I paired the blackberry gateway device with my gf's mytouch and there was no such problem, which leads me to believe that the problem is in my n1 :/
My $02: I cannot use a2dp and hands free at the same time. If both are connected the the a2dp drops out all the time.
This is not an issue with my HD7.
A workaround would be awesome.

I suspect the main difference, hardware combinations aside, between Stock/CM and Sense roms is that they use different bluetooth stacks.
Differences in the bluetooth stack that have caused issue for the FM radio on stock roms, an issues for bluetooth file transfer on Sense roms as far as I know.
Like iphone fanboys would say: fragmentation
On a related note the behavior of my N1 with the Parrot handsfree has vastly improved in GB.
i have the kensington liquidaux bt adapter in the car and cm7 rc4 with stock kernel skipped constantly. rc2 was better, but still unbearable.
i am currently on intersectraven's 4/3/2011 kernel and from limited use, has not skipped on me yet.
have people tried bt music streaming with other kernels with cm7 rc4? wildmonk? pershoot? etc.. thanks.
Try CM7 Issue 3233 fix

i think thats exactly what my problem is, when the phone is connected to the car and the music gateway is connected as well i get the intermittent connection and it skips every so often but if i disconnect the phone part then the music never skips...however im not on CM7 so i dont know if that fix applies to me and i dont know how to begin changing those settings
I remember seeing an FM radio app pre installed on a rom a few months ago, possibly freex10 or one of trips miui roms.
It was a good program but I can't find it now, does anyone have it?
It uses the ear phones for the antenna to pickup fm radio stations. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks

The x10 doesnt have a built in radio, the only radio that works is the streaming ones, so apps like tunein radio
ive used it before though?
too bad we need internet to run the radio,
Can it use bluetooth to run FM like the program in cm7 rom of htc and other phone???

Any radio app you used was streaming from online. Try TuneIn Radio, its got a ton of stations from all over but it is missing a few of my local favorites.

Hello
Can someone tell me if it's possible to have an FM radio like on the HTC smartphones?
I have a Sensation and a Desire HD and on both phones there is an FM radio.
I'm not familiar with the hardware of my devices but it would be nice to have it also on the HTC Flyer.
I hope that somehow we can activate that possibility if it's hardware supported.
Thx guys (and dolls)

There is no FM radio in the hardware.
But you can use radio over the internet, there are some goed Apps.
Kind of off topic... but I have often wondered why radio's are more common in phones than in tablets... i mean a tablet prob wouldnt require the headphones plugged in ... as the device itself should be able to house a large enough antana to pick up FM
Kris
Bluetooth is FM radio, so if it has Bluetooth, it has FM radio. Now whether that is enough "hardware" to receive FM radio stations, or something more is needed, I don't know.
I think that this is a great idea 4 use in the tablets...
Now that people forget the radio, use it since new gadgets, And uf smartphones can why not the tablets...

I'm a bit on the fence with an FM app, I probably wouldn't use it much (if at all). Don't get good radio reception at work and that would really be the only place I'd use it.
But I'll throw my vote in for it...
After some searching in other device forums on XDA, two things would be necessary for the FM radio app to function in the most basic of senses (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not too well versed on the android backend).
1) There would either need to be a standalone FM chipset, or the existing BT chipset would need to be one that is capable of receiving OTA FM radio frequencies.
This appears to be the BT chip: http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-htc-flyer/6256123?seq=70

2) The FM radio app requires kernel support to be added.
Apparently it is not an easy task to add it to devices where it was not pre-installed.
This thread has an HTC FM Radio APK attached... maybe if anyone gets really bored?
I dunno... It kills me you MUST have headphones in to start it because that's where the antenna. Couple that with crappy signal and that you can get stations outside of your area on internet streaming I have to say I don't miss it other than for say... Lovelines. (My area got rid of local internet stream for it). :/
I'm not rooted yet, so if somone could try to install the htcradio app i would really appreciate it.
In belgium we have expensive mobile data plans...so I preferr the fm radio while reading the newspaper on the train

Today's update to CyanogenMod said it introduced FM Radio support. I have downloaded Spirit FM Free and I can not get it to work. Nothing plays, and it says the signal is 0. Yes, I have headphones with a long wire plugged in for the antenna.
Is this impossible with the SCH-i605? Do I need to change settings? I have brushed the surface with a few of the more obvious settings, but none have worked thus far.
Thank you.

Hey Keavon,
I bumped up mine from cyanogen 10.1 snapshot and was disappointed that it did not hav an FM radio app. So got the spiritFM, works like charm... but not so happy with it. Can anyone tell if Cyanogen will ever pack a FM player along?

The verizon note 2 does not have a fm receiver. So no fm radoi will ever happen. I use iheart radio.
