Hi,
When I play music on me phone, via a bluetooth music device, the music has dropout's. It doesn't seem to be a signal strenth problem, as it still doesn't work if the phone is very near to the device.
I've tryid with SE's own Bluetooth loudspeaker and a bluetooth receiver from Belkin..
Is that a known issue?
I'm on Android ver 2.1
All the best, Kent.
turn off your wifi. =]
I know this because I used to have a bt keyboard and it would type like this "hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppppppp mmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee" lierally. I did some research online, and it told me to turn of wifi, which I did and the keyboard worked fine now. Same as my nice old Nokia BT-505
hope I helped !

Thanks I'm rather sure it helped to turn off me wifi. I'll have to wait a little time though, as it did work for some hours before I saw the problem.
I'll get back to you when my test is done
Thanks again.
Thanks
It's works like wonders. No dropouts at all
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
just for information with Wolfs GB there are also no drop out with bluetooth headset and WiFi turned on.

Hey all,
I have been using my Eris with a bluetooth Stereo for a quite a while, but when I rooted the phone over to a 2.1 ROM it started using Simple Secure Pairing (SSP) when authenticating the bluetooth headphones. My car stereo doesn't support this (its brand new too...).
So, the question is has anyone ever looked into disabling SSP and forcing it to use the old static key method of pairing in 2.1?
I am not adverse to diving in and doing the dev work, I just wanted to make sure someone hasn't already done it. If I do need to dive in does anyone know if its possible to disable it via a config file, or will I need to backport the bluez stack?
Thanks for all the great work,
traetox
I too am having this issue. Worked fine in 1.5 but ever since root it will play audio through pioneer head unit but phone won't connect. I will patiently await a fix.

Oh, so that's what's up.
I'm having a similar problem with my Jabra Cruiser bluetooth speakerphone/FM transmitter. What mine does, though, is it will connect and I can use it to listen to music and do the normal speakerphone functions like it normally would, but none of the media buttons will work anymore. It's not a huge inconvenience, since I mount my phone in the car anyway (long commute). It's only a problem if I need to have Google Navigation in the foreground but still want to change songs.
Patiently waiting. You devs are awesome, if you don't get enough sycophantic slobbering already.
ok, so I did some digging on mine and it turns out that I can pair with a simple bluetooth headset via the '0000' key. But the phone attempts to go through the full key negotiation to connect the "bluetooth headphones." So i can get audio via the headset negotiated connection, but it sounds awful without full AD2P.
I am getting a ROM kitchen setup and will try and map the 1.5 bluez stack onto the 2.1 source and see where that gets me.
Thanks for the input.
Thanks for working on this! I've tried to incorporate some of the Bluetooth files as well as the WLAN.ko from other roms into my Rom but have been unsuccesful. I am running damage control 2.08 that I ported. I was originally unable to get WiFi or Bluetooth to work until I copied the WLAN.ko from the oc patch now both work minus the phone. Don't know if this helps but figured i let you know. If you have those files from a 1.5 Rom I will try them in my port and let you know what the results are.

bt issues as well any fix
I have posted several times on this can not get an answer Have the same issues anyone with experience know what I can do?
Here is my situation I have driod eris ee2.1 on verizon before root I could auto connect bt to my pioneer avic d3 with phone audio only I had to manually connect media audio every time but I got used to it but since root I now can connect to media audio only and when I try to connect phone audio it dissconnects in less than a minute I am at a loss as to what to do thought maybe someone has experienced this and figured it out Thanks in advance.

I have a Jabra Crusier, and I'm having an issue with a lot of ROMs where I can not connect to it and stream music over bluetooth. I have found that Aloysius v6 Maps rom by Spencer Moore works well with the bluetooth thing. You may have to connect and disconnect a few times here and there to get it to connect, but it's been the best ROM for it. I used V11 Maps and it worked for a little while, but stopped connecting properly just recently.
There are a few known bugs with v6, but I'm fiddling with V11 to try and get the bluetooth to stay perm. Once I get it, I'll let Spencer Moore know and get him any new updates I come across.
Just an update. I am able to pair and connect to phone using white widow Rom.

So my Jawbone Prime was connecting fine before I updated to ICS LPQ (was on GB LA4 before) and now it doesn't even show up on the devices list even when I try to re-pair or reset the headset.
I tried 2 different sets to no avail.
Anyone know of a solution?
Connects to A2DP BT Headset (Motorola) but only allows media audio to connect. Phone audio doesnt stick.
ICS has some compatibility issues with certain bluetooth devices.
GB my phone always paired with my car stereo and streamed music without any issues.
So far every ICS release, even official, has caused my phone to reboot after streaming music over BT for 10+ minutes.
Its pretty sad they dropped the ball here. GB worked fine, and they borked it.
Well I can connect my BT keyboard fine. I just tried my Motorola BT earphones which are A2DP and it connects but won't allow phone audio to go through the BT earphones. However Media does go through. At least it detects it.
It doesn't detect it at all on the Jawbone Prime (which is not A2DP).
Update:
I managed to connect my jawbone and actually have 2 phone calls on it. After that I had the phone in my pocket and when I checked maybe 15mins later it had frozen and I had to keep power pressed to shutdown/reboot.
It kind of matches Chakker3D's pattern of working then not working. It's like there's a memory leak in the bluetooth stack? maybe I'm just spitballing here.
What I know is that in GB whenever I deactivated BT it took a good 20-25secs. In ICS it's instant to turn off or on. In GB however there was 0 issues.
I just really hope Samsung addresses it. Or if we are lucky, a dev will rework a rom so this problem is gone.
But from what I can tell, very few are having this problem.

Another update:
Without any intervention on my part other than keeping on trying it finally discovered my BT headpiece. In fact it discovered both.
Now it's still not 100% perfect because it discovers it, connects and immediately disconnects. If I press a button on the headpiece while it connects then it stays connected and it hasn't restarted/locked the phone yet. I even connected my 2nd headset (another Prime) and it worked.
Keeping fingers crossed. Now I need to see what happens when I walk out of range and back in range.
I have my HOX+ connected to the car via bluetooth. The music streams brilliantly. No issues there at all.
What I do have major issues is with Phone calls. Making outgoing calls is impossible it refuses to conenct to the bluetooth speaker even if you manually select the option, it just goes to internal speaker. If you select external speaker it goes ok but just wont connect to the car sound system at all.
In comming calls are iffy. Some times they pipe through the speaker but not all the time.
I know there are issues with HTC and bluetooth in general just looking for some ideas on how to try and fix the issue.
I have viper rom and elite kernel.
I was even thinking about buying this to see if it would help!
HTCs bluetooth stack has known issues with certain kinds of HSP devices.
The problem is that since the BT stack is propertary and closed source
it is hardly possible to change anything there compared to AOSP roms
where this is open source
So even if I guess you wont like the idea I can only suggest that
you try an AOSP rom if this is really important for you.
There is still not a 100% guarantee but chances are better that it works
About which kind of car BT device are we actually talking?
Even with the AOSP BT stack there are certain devices that have problems
espcially some kind of car manufature propertary solutions.
I use a Kenwood BT capable receiver and it works without problems
The device you linked may not help you because from the description
this is only for A2DP which doesnt include BT phone audio (HSP profile)
...
- this dongle is compatible with all devices with BT A2DP profile
...
Hmm ok so it sounds like the dongle shouldn't work as expected then ok! Just dont want to spend nearly £50 and find it doesn't work any better.
I have a Kia Pro Cee'd 2 with standard inbuilt car stero / bluetooth. I think it is the fact that it works sometimes bothers me more than if it didnt work at all!
I did try osap for a bit and had similar problems but will try again and see if I can get a good connection!
In the car I have buetooth connection, usb charging port and aux connection that is compatable with iphones. I actually get an iphone connection cable with the car!
Most of the bluetooth boxes I have seen only seem to have A2DP and AVRCP
connection profiles so I dont think these would work either.

well then this seems one of those sh.. devices
if you already have tried a recent 4.2.2 AOSP rom and it failed
then it prolly will still not work
Allthough there has been a patch in bluedroid lately regarding connection issues

I have no idea if this may help but you can try
I have a Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.3.
I've posted in this forum because it seems Android has bluetooth issues on many devices.
I switch bluetooth on, turn on my car, then the phone connects via bluetooth to the car's speakerphone device.
I turn off the car, the phone sees the bluetooth speakerphone losing connection all of a sudden, then if I switch bluetooth off the phone tries to switch it really off but after a fews seconds bluetooth turns on automatically.
I can't reboot the phone everytime I have to switch bluetooth off.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
PS: I really don't understand what's Goolge's problem with bluetooth. Really, they can't make it work right. It worked perfectly on 4.1.x, they've broken it with 4.2 and never fixed it 100%.

Were you ever able to get this resolved? I am having issues with this myself and I am really hoping there is a better work around to rebooting my phone.

no problem with my nexus 4 4.3
Hello!
I'm very close to buying this phone (assuming availability...) but have one major concern: my current LG p880 has a serious issue of WiFi and Bluetooth conflict. This means that I cannot use them at the same time (e.g. stream music and listen through Bluetooth speakers).
My girlfriend's iPhone does this with no problem.
For those who already have the device: did you encounter any such problems?
Thanks!

Thread's a bit old but I'm having the problem he's trying to avoid.
When connected to my Sony SRS-BTX500 bluetooth speaker (is it really aptX capable because my phone says so but couldn't find info about it online) while streaming music over WiFi or surfing the net the music drops out for half a second and then plays again normally every now and then but the more serious problem is that sometimes I can't even surf the net while being connected to bluetooth because it simply isn't able to load the page.
It just happend to me minutes ago on facebook. I was surfing completely normal then decided to listen to music on the bluetooth speaker by streaming music from Spotify over WiFi and when I wanted to continue surfing facebook it couldn't load the next page.
After switching bluetooth off and reloading the page everything worked normal.
After reconnectiong both worked together but the sound droped out every now and then.
I'm on stock Sony firmware and ROM 17.1.A.2.55 bought in Germany.
Kind regards

That's interesting (and annoying). By now I have the phone (bought on eBay Germany) running the same firmware and I have no such problems. I stream music over Wifi, play it with a Bluetooth system and surf the web without delays or breaks in the music.
Maybe Spotify streams in a very high quality that you can reduce?
With my previous phone I partly solved the wifi/BT conflict with an app called Bluetooth Keepalive. It was working quite well. Maybe you could give it a try.
I already lowered the streaming quality of Spotify to normal because with extreme I didn't could think about surfing the net.
As far as I remember the WiFi even dropped out several times on extreme quality.
I just looked in the Playstore and I will sure as hell not pay money for an app which maybe solves a problem which shouldn't even exist in the first place and especially not on a high-end smartphone for 600€!
WiFi too slow when Bluetooth active. Sony Xperia z2
Hello, it has been a while since the last post here. I have a Sony Xperia z2 phone and I realized that the WiFi connection was too slow. I have also an iPad air and a Samsung galaxy 10.1 2014 that are connected to the same router and that were really fast. They were at 10Mbps while the phone was under 1 Mbps and very unstable. The tests I have done were made with ookla speed test. I tried restarting both the router and the phone but the prone was still there, so I tried to change battery settings and WiFi settings with all the possible mix. But the speed didn't went up. So I started killing some connections like NFC, GPS, but nothing changed, so when the moment arrived for testing turning off the Bluetooth connection, everything changed. The speed was over 6Mbps for the first time and after that test all the tests were over 5 Mbps.
Everything showed that the problem was the Bluetooth, but not being so easy to believe, I started one test and while the download test was showing speed over 6 Mbps, I turned on the Bluetooth and instantly the speed went under 1 Mbps.
With this experiment I have demonstrated myself that the problem was the Bluetooth connection.
I would want that this post change the focus of this problem and lead to a solution different than turning off the Bluetooth while using WiFi.
Thanks for your support...
I can confirm that turning Bluetooth on and off during a speed test definitely interferes with the connection. It slows or stops the test when you turn Bluetooth on or off. Interesting!
