I had posted about this a couple of months ago but decided to put it on a back burner and work on some other things.
Here is my problem. I am connecting to the wifi at work and also have a Creative D100 A2DP speaker that I use for listening to music. I use Pandora and also an app called Gizmo which allows me to stream music from my home computer. I can connect to the speaker and it will play for a while and then drop the bluetooth connection to the speaker. Sometimes it plays one song sometimes many then just disconnects. I can go into settings and reconnect and it will do the same thing.
I have tried this with TNT Lite, Vegan, TTx, and now Calkulins rom. They all do the same thing.
Anyone have any idea how I can keep the bluetooth connection alive? The speaker is A2DP only. It will not autoconnect like a BT headset will, I have to manually connect it. I can do the same with my Iphone and the connection will stay on all day.
Thanks for any tips anyone may have.
Not too sure if this is relevant, but I have been having a similar problem with my Bluetooth but with a different device. I connect up to a BT keyboard (apple), but I get disconnected after a minute or two. Looks like we might have a problem with our BT.
I finally exchanged mine thinking it might be a hardware problem but the new one does the same thing. It annoying as hell!
ok, this has been plaguing me and preventing me from switching permanently to 2.2 since the camera has been fixed.
the problem:
you pair your bluetooth device and connect. media works fine. then disconnect and turn off bluetooth and the bt device. turn everything back on, and media won't play through the bluetooth device.
the cause:
well, i have been using the same jabra sp700 for a few years now. worked great on all my devices (iphone 2g, iphone 3g, dream, various nokias and my x10 up to 2.1). well, apparently 2.2+ android requires a bluetooth device that supports avrcp or the avrcp handling of 2.2+ roms require avrcp to work on the bluetooth device. however, my sp700 (and i would imagine other older bt devices) either do not have this or it doesn't work as android wants it to.
the solution (tested multiple times, works sometimes, not others):
pair and connect, go into settings and disable "phone audio" for the bluetooth device.
kind of sucks since this is my car speaker phone, but i use it for media more than i use it for phone. but i have connected/disconnected several times and media is still playing through the bt and not the phone speaker.
so those who have bt media problems with 2.2+ roms, try this, it may work for you.
will this fix the problem? http://www.foogod.com/android/ ?
it is the same with MW600 headset on Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 0.54 ROM.
what happens for me:
both devices were paired in the past and remember each other. I turn on BT on the phone and power on the headset. press play in the music player - nothing plays, it hangs and come back to paused state.
when I press play for second time music comes from headphone speaker.
what helps:
stop the playback at this point. turn the headset off and on again. press play and the music should play through it. with both music headset and phone audio profiles active.
this is how I have to do it every single time. headset works normaly afterwards until you turn the BT off on the phone again. it's just a little inconvenience.
what troubles me more are the short gaps in the playback you get about every minute and when you turn the screen off.

does not work
what about the method I wrote about? I think it is the same problem.
power off/on your headset again when the music starts playing from the headphone speaker used normally for calls. every single time this happens it fixes this for me.

that was working on and off for me. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
i made some modifications to the bluetooth audio.conf, will test those on my way home tonight.
no problems here with my bluetooth and i'm using wolfbreaks' 2.2 rom. i'm using a sony dr-bt50 headphones.
I've been having this problem with my headset too (hbh is800) and I'll try once I get back from home. Hopefully it works. I've tried the foogod link before and it never helped. I've been experiencing the bluetooth problem with my watch too (mbw 150) it connects and later it disconnects. and the cycle keeps repeating.
I have the same problem with dante-fu. I use Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 v0.54 ROM and MW600 headset. But turn on/off headset doesn`t help me sometimes and I have to re-pair devices.
I'm too having some problems with my mw600 head set.
Sometimes it does not play through the Bluetooth headset but through the speaker of the phone (it happens rarely)
But the most annoying thing is after a call, my headset just freezes & nothing works expect for the power button. Only solution is to turn the device of & turning on it again.
Using Wolf's 2.2 CM ROM
well, this sucks, i've tried changing all the media configs and nothing.
only solution i can think of is porting the bluetooth stack from 2.1 to 2.2.
back to 2.1 since my bt speaker is the only option for music in my car since my kid decided to deposit $.42 into my cd player.
Blutooth Media streaming problem
Hello,
Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue?
It's starting to drive me crazy. Bluetooth phone calls work perfectly but media streaming works intermittently.
Is there an easy way to replace downgrade the blutooth stack?
I am running CM 6.13
Just wondering if they have fixed Bluetooth Audio yet? Seems to be that in my car it connects to the phone part fine, but when it connects to audio it comes up "BT Audio Device Error" then I have to wait another couple of minutes before it connects fully. One of the only reasons I stopped using MIUI, since I always listen to my phone's music in the car. Only been happening since ICS versions. Or does anyone know of an Alternate MIUI without this problem? Asnet, Etc....
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone with the latest Android available. I'm trying to nail some bluetooth issues I experience while playing music through Bluetooth in my car using both Spotify and Google Play Music. Car is a 2012 Ford Territory with the latest Bluetooth update applied.
Whenever I play music it cuts out randomly usually for a second or 2 before playing again. Sometimes it automatically pauses the track as well requiring me to pull over, unlock the screen and press play again to get it going This happens at least once or twice and sometimes more per track I am playing in the car. Happens weather the phone is plugged in and charging or not. I've tried turning WiFi off and it seems to not make a difference. Tried changing the Bluetooth profile on the phone and it makes no difference.
Are there known issues with this phone? Could it be other apps running in the background causing this problem? If so what would those apps likely be? Not sure where to go from here. I've downloaded podcasts and played those through Bluetooth with the phone and they work flawlessly. It seems to be just music.
The phone is not rooted and as it is a work supplied phone rooting is not an option. What can I do to improve or fix the problem?
Yes. I have similar problems while playing music on portable bluetooth speaker. I'm using QS-i9300-KK 2.6 right now. On other Android devices is music continuous.
I'm having a couple bluetooth issues and wondering if anyone else has seen something similar.
1. Bluetooth disconnects completely from car. I can then reconnect just fine, but it happens frequently
2. Bluetooth stays connected, but the audio starts coming out of the phone instead of my car speakers. While this is happening, I can still control the tracks from my car.
I already tried a factory restore, no luck.
