[Q] Problem bluetooth music plays and stops Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a problem with the bluetooth of the Samsung galaxy S2. It's connects correctly to all devices, and for example, when it's connected to the bluetooth of my car, and I play music, the music stops and plays intermittently with all the music programs that I have tried. It's strange because when I am using the bluetooth for hands-free talking it's works perfectly. I dont Know if maybe exists and update of the firmware of the bluetooth.
I have this specifiactions:
Android Version: 2.3.3
I9100XXKDJ
GINGERVREAD.XWKE2
Thank you!!!

I had this problem also but it hasn't done it for a long time, don't know what else to tell you?
Goodluck

Hello NIK516,
Thanks for answering. Did you do something? I understand that know you don't have the problem.

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same "feature". Let the phone play its hiccup game for a couple of times and it will play just fine after a minute or so. I only figured this out while testing the GPS capability and wanted to get voice instructions over BT as well. First I had the play...pause...play....pause - loop, but after a minute or so all was fine.
Update: I just went down to my car to confirm "the minute". Guess what it was playing perfectly fine and my radio was even showing mp3 tags which it didn't before with my HTC Desire.
So, what did I change in between:
- stopped WiFi sharing using the task manager
- bonded my Asus G53JW to the phone in order to try Kies via BT

I have been listening to music with SE MW 600 Bluetooth headphone for weeks and I have yet to experience such a problem. Try a different ROM.

got the same since kf3 update
Hey guys,
Since I updated to the official KF3 update through KIES, I got the exact same thing with stuttering of sound when connecting to my Samsung Home cinema (through bluetooth).
Hope its fixed in the next firmware. Btw, anyone knows where I can report this bug at samsung? tnx

Problem Totally solved

I flashed 2.3.4 XXKG1 and I lost all settings, all apps etc.
I was lucky enough that I had made a CWM backup before BUT I wonder why I can't do this without losing my apps, data etc.
It's very weird because Kies is doing this to the latest firmware (which means that is 100% feasible) but it seems to me that it can't happen with earlier versions.
Any clues or directions are more than welcome.

No news on my post, bad news to my query...
AND still suffering from these unexplicable A2DP Bluetooth disconnects...
So I have option 1 to install 2.3.4 XXKG1 but lose all settings and almost 150 apps and spend I week to bring them back
and option 2 to swear 10 times a day that Bluetooth disconnects
Thank you Sammy, well done!

[Q] ICScrewd stereo Bluetooth issue

Before I say anything, this is the best ROM I've used for any of the devices I've owned. Simply for the fact that I would rather fix it than flash with something else!
Anyway, the problem is my phone no longer works with my car for media streaming through bluetooth. Worked fine prior to flashing with ICScrewd 2.01. It does pair and the phone functions works otherwise.
Is this particular to this ROM or something else? This is a very stripped down build, which is why I liked it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Sarelon
I can add one thing to this, for the first 3 days and 4-6 reboots after upgrading to 2.0.1 (Flashed 2.0, and then the 2.0.1 upgrade later) anytime I would connect my stereo headset (RF-MAB2) the phone app would FC, I would lose phone signal, data, and bluetooth/wifi. They would all come back 30s-1m later, but upon reconnecting the bluetooth headset and hitting play on an audio file it would play, but no audio would come through the headset or the phone speaker. On the other hand my Jawbone Icon connected and worked just fine at all times, no crashing of the phone app or anything else.
One problem though, when I decided to go and capture a log file of it happening .... it ceased to happen, and hasn't happened since, with or without the alogcat running. I'm completely baffled but do hope we can fix this so it doesn't happen in the future.
i think it might be a 2.3.6 issue but i could be wrong. were you on 2.3.4 when it was working?
I experience this same problem with my bt and my alpinew900 rich has tons of bugs anyways...

So are my options non-existent? Will it be supported soon, is there any ROM close to what you built with BT HID support or am I going back to stock?
Again, fantastic work on this ROM.

[Q] Notifications while on Bluetooth

Quick question, I've had a search of the forums and not found anything which answers it. So apologies if there is an answer out there which I have missed!
When my phone is connected to bluetooth, all of my notifications are sent to the car speakers.
This is great when I'm listening to music streamed from the phone. But if I've got the phone connected to bluetooth on the chance of incoming calls, but listening to MP3 or FM, then any incoming SMS messages or emails are notified via the car bluetooth headset.
Is there any way to tell the phone to notify both on the handset AND the car when connected to bluetooth???
Thanks in advance.

What version of Android are you running? Is your phone rooted?
Cheers!
Hi, Thanks for the quick reply.
CyanogenMod 9 - Latest Build of ICS 4.0.3
Rooted - YES.

You must remember that CM9 is in alpha and does not have all the functionality you need. Have you tried any other ICS builds to see if the problem exists there?
Right now, the Sammy ICS ROM's such as Resurrection 9.2 are pretty stable. CM9 has been set back by the availability of drivers.
Cheers!
I'm certain it's not a ROM based issue. I know CM9 is Alpha. Previously I was running MoDaCo Custom Rom on GB.
I think it's the way that all audio is sent to Bluetooth. Hence asking if there is a way around it, via a script or app?

Try a stock ROM.
AOSP ROMs use a different bluetooth stack than stock Samsung ROMs. This is also why most bluetooth controller apps didn't work on stock Samsung ROMs until Dancing Pixel updated the SixAxis app (around October, I think?) with a workaround.
Edit to add: or a stock BASED ROM. If you like AOSP look and feel, with some essential stock bits, check out GingerMod.
Thanks for the reply.
I think it's an inherent issue with all handsets and ROMs. I have a friend using stock, and he still has the same issue.
I guess my post was to understand if there was any way around it (via a hack or app). For instance, my Blackberry alerts on the device itself, but calls and music go through the car headset.

[Q] Distorted sound when 5.1 surround sound enabled?

Hi everyone, I have a galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) upgraded to android 4.0.3, and whenever I enable the 5.1 surround sound in the native music player, the song I'm listening to becomes distorted; it slows down and sounds weird.
I think it did work once, but since then its never worked with any mp3 file, regardless of size. I haven't tested it on other formats, because I mainly use mp3 for music etc.
I've googled like mad to try and find an answer as to why this happens.....but I can't find a solution.
Equaliser and sound effects are all set to normal, but it still sounds really distorted when 5.1 is enabled. Without 5.1 it sounds great (I did the Beats Audio hack a few days ago).
Oh and I've tried several different headphones to no avail...
Any ideas why this happens? And how I could fix it?
Same here!
Hello,
Before the ICS upgrade my 5.1 music was as pleasant as it could get. I tried using this effect in my car last weekend and yes, it is very distorted. Did you manage to fix it?

update
Did you try to contact the Samsung service desk?
you need to get back to the service centre I guess. I had the same issue when it was updated via kies. Samsung reloaded the OS for me and its good to go now , except for heating issues which I threw away their stock kernel and went for speedmod

It works and it works like magic!
Ha ha......yeah. I switched off the phone and removed the batter to check the serial number so that I can register it for servicing.
Later, switched on the phone and it just works fine!
Chaps, try this and let me know if it helps.

There is some issue with ICS 4.0.3 for india update i guess, u need to restart the phone to get off with the error. Once restarted 5.1 effect works fine.
I just want to know if it could be some hardware fault.

[Q] Galaxy s2 restarts during bluetooth music streaming

I have just received a new S2 after breaking my old one. I need to know if this one needs to go back.
I stream all my music through my Sony car stereo via Bluetooth. Now since getting my new phone. After about 15 minutes of streaming my phone kind of restarts itself. I say kind of, as it doesn't ask for the sim password, but it does go back to the home screen with the music player completely shut down. I loose all BT connection between phone and stereo and I have to find the track i was previously listening to, as though i have opened the player for the first time that day.
When this happens I have no other apps running, and I know the music player has an auto switch off timer in its settings, but i have got this switched off.
I upgraded it to ICS straight away so never tested if this fault occurred whilst my new phone was on Gingerbread.
Is this an ICS fault or the phone? As I didn't get chance to upgrade to ICS before I broke my old phone. So cannot tell.
Hope someone can help.

Did you mean remove the current pairing i have with my stereo, and search for it again, and start a fresh. If so i will try that on my way to work in the morning and see if it makes a difference. Thank you

Thanks. I have the timeout set to never. Also how do you unpair a device on my S2 ? I am running ICS.
I have tried holding for a number on seconds but no menu comes up. plus the lower left button brings up no menu that offers to unpair.
I'm confused!!!
I have the same problem!
The model of my sony bluetooth car radio is mex-bt5700
The problem began when I began to install ics roms.
The restart is always each 22-23 minutes.
I have tried andyx rom, wanam and others...and always the same.
I have also tried lot of apps, google music, samsung player, player pro, poweramp...
The problem is that I have also bluetooth headset (sony bt-101) and I have no restart with it.
Only with Sony radio.
Hope somebody founds a solution because is very anoying and I wish to stay with ics...I love it!
Thanks!
Well i've tried all but one thing now. Unpairing, repairing, spitting, swearing, apart from stamping on it my last thought is i'm restoring factory settings and trying back on Gingerbread. Just to ensure it is not my phone, and it is ICS.
Once i've done this and tested it i will report back.
Hi Pope, did you have any luck? I am having the same problem with my Galaxy SII. I've tried factory resets, removing the MicroSD card, re-pairing the bluetooth, nothing helps.
I called my provider and they suggested it could've been a bad cell in the battery (been fine with previous Galaxies), or cooking the phone by having navi, music and data on (again, been fine with previous Galaxies).
They're sending me another phone tomorrow, I'll see if it does the same.
Fu..k this is the worst problem i am facing too, dam it why all the **** happens with android and not the iphone, this is when i get teased by how fu..ked android is by my friends when this happens infront of them.
I am fuming now, as it also only happens with my sony car stereo and not with my bluetooth headset ( philips ). Dam Dam, so shall I go back to dam SLOW GB just to solve this grap.
And why exactly after 30 minutes this ****y reboot happens with my sony car stereo when playing music over bluetooth
I am so angry now, as I am sure not many suffer from that problem so no solution will fix that
And for gods sake which controls the sound coming out of the device via bluetooth is it the kernel or the modem, AAHHHHHHHHHHH i am about to throw this mother f___cker out the fu____king window
Galaxy SII bluetooth crash
I also have the Galaxy S2, and also the Bluetooth streaming reboot issue. Seems to have started after the ICS upgrade. Every couple of songs the the track starts to glitch and I know the crash is coming. From my research it seems to commonly affect people streaming to Sony in-car systems. Hope there is a fix soon...:/
I have the very same problem! It started when I updated to ICS and it only happens with my Sony car stereo. Any solutions?
i seem to have fixed my problem, took the sony MEX back and bought a Alpine bluetooth stereo, its ran for over an hour now without a reboot,
if you want to keep the same stereo you need to upgrade to a custom 4.0.4 rom
paranoid android also works. but you will need PlayerPro Music Player to stream track details to the head unit.

[Q] Issue carkit Audi Q7

Hello,
We have an Audi Q7 with Samsung Galaxy S3 problem.
Bluetooth connects,
Outgoing calls are OK
Incoming calls are OK when I pick up the phone with touch screen it works too
But when I pick up phone with buttons of car, FM Radio keeps on playing, if this happens and I click on Disable/Enable headset on touchscreen of phone it works.
Any ideas how to fix? I have already tried installing Criskelo rom, and all updates but that doesn't help. (I must say it worked once!) after upgrading to Criskelo. But since then, it never worked again. Stock rom wasnt good too.
I hope someone can help me out.
Regards,
HD Services
The easiest fix I can think of is probably to swap cars with me? Just a straight swap
