[Q] ICScrewd stereo Bluetooth issue - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

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...

no kernel support for bt hid
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] Problem bluetooth music plays and stops Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100

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
Hello everyone,
Since I have updated to the 2.3.4 XXKG1 the bluetooth in working great, not even 1 cut!!

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!

Bluetooth problems

Bluetooth on my TB doesn't connect to my computer or elantra, but it does easily to headsets. Anyone else experiencing this?

My bluetooth will connect to my car to answer phones calls but as far as being able to play pandora after rooting I having been able to do that.
I think the AOSP roms are the only ones that correctly implement the latest blue tooth stack. HTC uses an older and broken implementation. If blue tooth means that much to you, I would try looking a non sense rom

I have an AOSP ROM, I can talk through the bluetooth in my car but I cant play music like I did when I had stock. I am planning on flashing some different ROMs on my 8 days off this coming week, I dont like running into problems while I am at work and then I get busy. I will report back to see if any other AOSP ROMs work and which dont. As of right now
Th3ory's ROM I have listed - Talk ( yes ) Music streaming ( no )

For what it's worth, I can listen to music on the latest stable CM7 using imo's latest kernel using various music players. I use a bluetooth stereo headset. Bluetooth stack is located in the kernel only I believe. Perhaps try a different one?

I did download a different Kernel on my phone, will prob flash that before I switch ROMs just to see if I can get better battery life before I restore Th3ory's 1.3.1 AO5P. I was getting way better battery life on 1.3 than I am getting on 1.4 I hadto switch to battsaver on speedtweak to get the same about of battery I do on 1.4 that I use to on 1.3.

It fails for things like the PS3 Controller and I've seen people saying they can't get a keyboard to sync. However if you read my post I said HTC, not aftermarket modified kernels based on sense . Good to know that it was fixed by porting and patching things though. I never tried bluetooth on it until recently so I couldnt say from experience how it was on a sense rom
I flashed a different kernel and now I can play music in my car. On same rom listed.

His car has bluetooth support built into it most likely. Many new cars do.
I have Bluetooth support built into my car, but I have not figured out how to do anything besides a phone call. Is there an app that you are using?

You should probably read the owner's manual for your car if you have not. Not to pull a RTFM on you
Just guessing it probably says how to do it and it varies by car.
Ya my car has a setting for "enabling Bluetooth audio", but it never recognizes my phone running cm7

It should work. It works with my girlfriend's dInc with CM7. If its like her car, you can't set it up unless the car is parked.

[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.

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.

Bluetooth Not Pairing- CM10.1

I'm running kushdeck's CM10.1 and it won't pair with my new Subaru WRX. It sees the car fine, but when I try to pair it fails every time. I also can't pair with my laptop's BT. Any suggestions? I don't want to go back to Sense if I can help it.
try
Everolv ROM?
I'll give that a try.
I've had no luck with BT on CM10 ROMs, I'm currently running JellyBear, and it's hands down one of the sickest ROM's i've used on my Evo, almost through my work day with 80% battery life left, and I work as a graphic designer/social media guy so I've constantly got Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google Now, Photoshop Mobile, etc, open all day.
Sucks that BT isn't working because it's forcing me back to Sense.

Get the nightly from 5/3. Reboot to get the Bluetooth to stay on the first time then you're good to go.
Evervolv didn't work. I guess I'll flash back to Sense and then see if I can pair that way.
Been on cm10.1 from deck for months. No problems with Bluetooth.
Connects to my car, earpiece, and home stereo.
Maybe wipe cache, dalvick, factory reset and system and reflash the ROM.

[Q] I'm a one issue user, need the bluetooth to not crash!

I'm going backwards on the CM builds until it stops, but based on info from their wiki it doesn't work on any version so I might be wasting my time...
The big question is has anyone got a ROM with stable bluetooth or am I going to be stuck with going back to the AT&T ROM ? I was also hoping someone baked in the power saving menu/settings from the ATT ROM into something else?
What are you connecting over Bluetooth?
Most the 4.3 roms I've tried had little to no problem with Bluetooth. At most I had to reboot once a day to connect my Bluetooth stereo headphones.
Just A2DP profile devices, my vehicle and 2 speakers and a set of headphones. After about 6 connections/disconnects is when it dies, usually after I connect and hit play; there's no audio and shortly after the app pauses and the BT status icon vanishes. Going into the control panel it acts like BT is off and won't turn back on.

BlownFuze's AOKP rom is supposed to be very good on bluetooth. At least that's what I've read in that thread. I'm just not a fan of AOKP so other than flashing it and going through the settings to see if it has what I want I really haven't used it more than a couple of hours at a time.
unless something has changed in the last month it looks like new roms are all going to have this issue. It is my understanding that we dont have teh proper "driver" support for 4.2+. I remember this being an annoying issue seeing how i connect and disconnect from bluetooth min of 6 times a day. 4.1 roms and earlier do not have this issue.
I've never had any bluetooth issues with BlownFuze's AOKP build.
I hate to jinx it but I've been downgrading incrementally using the built in CM tool (no wipes) and on the oldest version its finally stable with BT.

another +1 for the KK version of AOKP.
i'm also not a huge AOKP fan, but it's the only rom i've used with stable bluetooth
edit: patch adams' liquidsmooth has the bluetooth working, but it does seem to die on me from time to time, listing bluetooth as off, and attempts to turn it on are futile. it just switches right back to "bluetooth off"
Padawan (4.1.x) has stable bluetooth
Current CM versions that I tested (Beanstalk and liquid Smooth) crash instantly when my car tries to access messages via BT
PAC Rom is the first kit kat 4.4.3 version that doesn't crash immediately with my car's bluetooth but I LOVED some of the Beanstalk mods.
