I have a jvc deck that has built in blutooth. It routes the sound they the car speakers and uses a wired microphone. Call quality transmit an receive is pretty damn good. However, when using bluetooth audio...say pushing anything from the music app, or pandora, there is alot of static attached to the signal. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions. I am rooted but still stock. I use poweramp as well as the default player at times.

I have a jvc deck as well, and I don't have any problems with static over bluetooth. I use Pandora and Google play music, and both work great for me on stock, CM7, CM9, and MIUI. MIUI actually works the best for me as far as bluetooth playing nice with the head unit.
Never used power amp or stock tho, so I can't speak for that.

I have no issues with mine Pandora,stock music player ,google play music, TuneIn Radio work good... with my car's unit
Thought I really hate the annoying noise when I use the wired earphones.
Ill have to experiment with a few other players. I rarely use the phone for streaming in the car. Odd, I really dint pick up any noise with wired cans. On a side note, I found a new player 'neutron' that blows away anything I've used this far in the sq department. Its a paid app that offers a limited use 'timed' trial.

I've also got a semi-stock Photon 4G. Been using it fine in my Ford Fusion w/ Sync. Sunday, tried to make a phone call and it was just static. Turned off the bluetooth on my phone and it was fine. Now, it's unable to make a call through Sync. It pairs fine, just nothing but static. Why the sudden change? No new updates from Motorola or Sprint that I'm aware of. BTW, by semi-stock, I mean it's rooted. No custom ROM's or what not. Any ideas? I've googled some and it seems that the Photon 4G has some bluetooth related issues. I really like the phone and had really planned on holding off on upgrading since there wasn't a real 'need'. Another issue I've had lately is receiving texts w/ no sound. It vibrates, but doesn't give me a sound. I checked the setting and even when scrolling through the notification sounds, it doesn't do it. Then it will randomly do it. Rebooted and battery pulls have been done. Really, REALLY don't want to do a reset. Ideas? Are they related?
I use bluetooth audio everyday, and I've used every rom except stock. Bluetooth always works very well. Rule out your jvc device first, test your Bluetooth on something else. Then reset or reflash, then use your warranty.

I also intermittently get static when making calls in my Focus via Sync over Bluetooth. I can faintly hear the caller in the background, but the static is MUCH louder than the person. When this occurs, there are some other symptoms the phone exibits:
No audio will play via multiple apps. Tested in Pandora (cycles from one song to another), Amazon MP3 (same as Pandora), Youtube (Gives an error about audio), Voicemail (Unable to play the message).
Alarms only vibrate, no audible alarm.
When trying to do a call via speakerphone, the person on the other end cannot hear me.
The fix I have found is to reboot. The phone is stock, but has been rooted, and has occurred for the past few months, even with the update that came out at the beginning of August. I tried reflashing it in June with the 198 SBF, but didn't do a reset of the data. The reflash succeeded, but the problem is still occurring. I removed "Words with Friends" and "Scramble with Friends" last night to see if it helps.

Rats. Too bad I hate Sense, so I'll probabpy go with a Galaxy S III, even though I dont like TouchWiz. However, Touchwiz is preferable to Sense. Might go Galaxy Nexus, not sure. For now, haven't had it reoccur yet, but we'll see.
Good news: not a single reoccurance of the static over bluetooth and no audio. I still wonder how an app can effectively crash the audio stack, though. Oh well.

Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone has had any problems with audio being streamed through Ford Sync? After about a half hour or so of streaming or playing audio my phone freezes and reboots. I have tried 4 or 5 different roms and every single one of them has this problem. Thanks for your help!

I stream BT audio using Rdio service with my Sync (Ford MyTouch). I can't say that I've ever had that problem after using it for a while. I am using the xXx ROM.

No problems with my CM9 builds streaming to my 2010 Ford Focus, the audio quality is good and the steering wheel controls work.
Havent had a problem with streaming to Ford sync. Does it just do it when streaming to your Sync, or does it lock up doing anything else, ie playing thru headphones, or speaker.
Ford sync is buggy, could try rebooting your sync, you can do that yourself by pulling the fuse for it for a few mins.
It doesn't do it with headphones or a usb cable. It only does it when I am streaming audio through the Sync. It wouldn't freeze and reboot when I was on gingerbread, only on ICS.

2009 Ford Focus - AT&T Skyrocket ICS 4.0.4
I can't seem to pair my phone to my Focus since updating with the official AT&T released ICS 4.0.4 version. It worked fine before... I will try pulling the fuse soon and trying again.
Mine will pair, I have an F150 and Expedition. Both will pair, but no longer connect automatically. I can manually force them to connect, but not automatic. I have reset the car (pull positve cable from battery for 30 seconds) and then paired the phone again. Still nothing. My wife has a Galaxy S2 on 4.0.2 and it works just fine. Something goofy with the Note and 4.0.3 bluetooth drivers.
I can pair it just fine, the phone freezes up about a half hour into my audio playback. I can stop it from freezing if I stop the audio before it hits the 30 to 35 minute mark and hit play again.

I have this issue when I am streaming audiobooks, podcasts, or even a long youtube thing when streaming to my After market Sony stereo. It happens pretty much every 38 minutes like clockwork. After the 2nd freeze, I lose data connectivity until I do a full reboot. When it freezes, it seems like it doesn't do a full reboot for me, as I never see any booting animations. Just a frozen screen, a few seconds of black then back to the lock screen.
This *does not* happen when streaming Google Music. It seems like it's only when I'm playing the same audio piece for over a half hour. This is using Audible and BeyondPod. I can't recall which kernal I'm using, but I do remember it is the same one the last 2 roms where I've had this issue, so I have no idea if it even can be kernal related or not.
Yeah that is the problem that I am having as well. If I stop the audio before it hits the 38 minute mark then it won't reboot. cm9 so far hasn't made my phone freeze. I wonder if people are having the same problem on the att official update?

I have exactly the same problem on rooted stock Telus 4.0.4 rom. My bluetooth device is JVC car radio. Can someone fix the title of the thread to remove "Ford Sync" reference? It looks like the problem is more generic.
I never had an issue connecting to my 2011 Escape until ICS. If i manually did a connect, it was fine, but no automatic connect with ICS. After I did an unpair, delete the connect from phone and car, then performed a new pair, it was fine.

Hi,
I have a 2012 Ford Focus with Sync and not able to get the audio to stream over Bluetooth on my Verizon GSIII. I've looked in the Bluetooth menu on the phone and it says phone and audio sync. However when I go into Phone mode in my vehicle, only phone call audio will come through the speakers but If I try streaming music, no audio comes through the speakers (or the phone). Does anyone have Ford Sync and has successfully streamed audio through bluetooth? If so, are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
I have no issue with my GS3 and Ford Sync. But I encountered it before using my older Android phone. I resolved it by doing a master reset and pairing them again. Hope this helps.
I don't personally own sync... My Mustang and F150 are too old but I drove my Dads Fusion yesterday. I didn't have a ton of time to play here is what I found worked....
First Sync the 2,
Then go in my phone into the Bluetooth menu and click on sync and make sure they are paired & connected.
(Generally in the past it just automatically did that like on my Tbolt.)
I'll let you know as I play with it more. It was very clear bluetooth audio at that!!
I have a 2011 Ford Flex and have no issue. Make sure you're saying. "Bluetooth Audio" when prompt by the voice command from the car. If you're still are having issues try pulling the fuse in the vehicle for your SYNC system (look in your owner's manual for location) for about 60 seconds, allow it to sit for 10 minutes, resync your phone and try again.

I did make sure the volume was turned up on my phone. The Sync in my vehicle has a button to press to go into phone mode and that is what i was in... i cycled through settings there but couldn't find anything for media. I also pressed the Aux button in the car to be sure it didn't want that mode, but that was actually looking for an auxiliary connection and not bluetooth.... I'll have to experiment some more with what some people talked about in this thread, but so far no dice.

turn you bt on, on the right side of Sync there is a (*) for setup, press it you will see the call-media audio settings. select the media setting and you should be ok. you MUST be Paired to do this with bt on.

Neather fro HTC! :silly:
I just upgraded my Rom to the Jedi XV12 rom without issue. Currently I'm experiencing a "silent" audio when the phone is synced to my car via bluetooth BT and trying to listen to Pandora. My car has the Pandora app and prior to this ROM I did not have the issue. I "turned" the volume up on the phone and it showed the BT audio at max... yet there was no sound. Is there something else I need to do or update on the phone?
Check the settings on your paired Bluetooth device and make sure media audio is selected. Otherwise I'm not sure. You might try to delete the device and re-pair it.

What music app are you using ? Did you try a different one ? I'm using Subsonic and I'm having issues with eq's.
My audio work with my Bluetooth in my car neither the in app nor Beat's eq's work. I did not have eq issues with Bean's which I'm probably going to switch back to.
Looks like Google Music app works with Beats so for me it was the app I was using.
Well, according to the thread title, [Q] BT Audio / Pandora / Jedi XV12, looks like he is using Pandora.
Interesting enough..... If I have BT Audio enabled for both Phone Audio and Media Audio.... ANY BT audio does not come through the BT device. If I uncheck the Phone Audio.... it plays just fine. The Controls for the player work fine in either scenario... just no audio if the Phone Audio is checked. I have had intermittent success by having the audio going.... unchecking phone audio... listening for a few... and then re-checking phone audio. Sometimes it will keep playing without issue.... other times it "mutes" the media audio even though it is checked.
Did I confuse anyone.... LOL

Same with my G2 with my aftermarket Sony BT stereo. My Rezound and Note 2 work fine with it on Google Play Music. I'm hoping it's just an update that needs to be sent.
I dont use Play Music, but I do use Slacker and Pandora.
On my Gnex, track information was never working until Android 4.3. My G2 acts the same way that my Gnex did on 4.2.X - you see "unknown" for track, album and artist.
I dont see it working correctly on the G2 until 4.3 is on it either. No fault of LG, it looks like bluetooth is something Google messes with every OS update, "fixing" and "breaking" stuff at the same time.

This also happens for me! I haven't really noticed it with the stock music app. But it definitely happens when using slacker or Pandora. The only thing to help it is to leave my phone plugged in so that the screen stays on since I have that set in developer settings. Then it will update without me having to pause and replay it to send the data. Also the Pandora app control mode in my pioneer xbh5500 doesn't connect with the phone app. So I have to stream it through pure Bluetooth mode. Which is quicker, just I can't thumbs up or down and pick stations through the stereo touch screen.

This is the one thing that Ive always missed in my car being streamed from the phones. But I put most of the fault on the OS, and the rest of it on the fact that I think its impossible to ensure that every piece of hardware implements it exactly the same. At best its a crapshoot and eventually the puzzle pieces fit and it starts working.
With my Gnex, 4.1 in my car would show a menu button but thats it. 4.2 would show a menu button and "Unknown" for track, title and artist data. 4.3 now shows all of the data (but there is another issue introduced that causes the phone to reboot on re-connection)
AFAIK there have been 2 full re-writes of the bluetooth stack in Android 4.x, so clearly Google wont leave well enough alone or realizes its an issue. While Im sure LG stuff on top of that doesnt help, I dont think the bulk of the issue is with LG as much as it is with the OS underneath.

My understanding from it is that the stock player(s) will work because they were written by the same folks that wrote the bluetooth drivers for the phone (LG, in this case, Samsung in the case of my Gnex). But Slacker, Pandora, etc. probably conform to a different standard, since they cant possibly write the app to work with every different brand of bluetooth device.
And again, add on top of that the fact that Android OS might not be implementing it correctly, and you have a fuster cluck of a moving target.
I do believe it will be corrected, eventually....after 2 yrs it finally got working on my Gnex with 4.3, and I think the G2 will get 4.3 someday so we should see a fix.

I'm even weirder. I have a Panasonic head unit and sometimes it shows a ringtone from someone who called me yesterday, sometimes it shows a song that was on Slacker 4 days ago, and so on. I mostly listen to Slacker or Google Play Music.
My GNex never showed anything even after 4.3
Thank you all for reporting this. I have a HTC One running 4.3 and I use BT a ton. It all works perfectly and I've been thinking of getting the G2 but given these issues I'm definitely not getting it.
Definitely seems to be an issue with G2. On my HTC both on 4.2 and 4.3 Play Music sends proper data to my car and stereo Bluetooth. Controls work perfectly too

Also, Viper4Android is pretty incredible. I had no issues with the sound quality coming from an S3, but after Viper I can never go back. It's that good.
