Hi all,
Since i've installed the official ICS rom on my phone i have one major issue.
When i stream music over bluetooth to my car hifi it lags, well it's worse then lag i cannot even hear the music it's like constantly stopping and playing like if someone was spamming the start stop button. I never had this problem with GB 2.3.6.
I somewhat found a workaround but it's rly annoying to keep doing this to hear music. What i do is just when i connect to my car hifi i start playing with the volume rocker buttons so i can hear it trough my car, when I'm doing this i press the play button on the music player then it works fine until i stop the car or go to FM and go back to BT
This is definitely software related because the workaround i just described makes it work again :S. I don't want to go back to GB do you guys know the cause of this and do you maybe have a fix? Is this issue solved in the newer version of ICS XLP2? All i saw is that all of them have the same kernel so i did not upgrade.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I've never used 2.3 so cannot say if it's a 4.0 problem but it certainly looks like so..
I'm running resurrection remix 10 and use it on a Toyota TNS510 system..
Just a notice that this seems fixed for me now.
I've upgraded to the 4.0.4 Rom found here: Click!
Next to this i'm using the app "doubleTwist"
ICS talks a different language then gingerbread when it comes to A2DP, especially for the play/pause commands, which seem important to me..
Has anyone made reference to what the cause of the bug is in their code logs???
I did not find any solution for this problem. Some apps like poweramp have a solution internally which reduces my problems a bit. But when i use tune in for instance i still get hickups. Im using F1GalaxyNexus AOSP rom at the moment.

It seems that the long awaited Gingerbread Update isn't bug free.
I listen often to music with my phone and i noticed that while using the phone during playback the audio stops, stutters or cracks when you rotate the phone.
I've tried all players and it affects every one....

i notice same thing.. and that flaw is simply hilarious..
and i have no idea why the whole system is just so lag as f***
The audio issues make me wanna cry.
Why cant there be a decent update for my X10?

There are actually two different problems with music playback on all stock GB based ROMs:
1. Music stutters when you are operating with phone (screen unlock, home button press, launching apps....) and wired headphones are connected.
2. Music skips for a second when played through bluetooth headset when phone idles. This happens mostly when the screen is off approx. once in a minute. Even when the wifi is off.
Wifi is known to interfere with A2DP Stereo headset music playback but this is not the case.
I experience both problems on stock and stock pre-rooted ROMs (fps uncap applied)
What ROMs are you guys using? Do you have fps uncap applied? (let's rule out this mod is not causing the problem)

I think it has to do with the new CPU governor introduced with Gingerbread and also the Multitasking disability Gingerbread itself introduced.
I have performed more tests. Findings are:
1. two problems I have mentioned are actually the same probably with a common cause.
Using BT the audio skips. Playing the music through wired headphones and stock music player it stutters. I have not noticed the stuttering before (because of 2.) as skipping is more noticeable.
2. using different player (I tried PlayerPro) the skipping and stuttering when phone is idle and screen off is significantly reduced. Not 100% sure but it might not be there at all.
Stuttering when screen is unlocked is still there. On PlayerPro it is actually more like a very short gap, instead of stutter.
3. Both stock music player and PlayerPro force-close every time when switching between wired and bluetooth playback without stopping the app first.
i have audio lags too... this is so sad
Greetings guys ,
I have similar problem , when i switch off the screen there is a millisecond pause of the music and then back on , this can happen also sometimes when the phone screen its off at random time .
I hope there is a fix for this soon.

You scared me guys . No, no issues for me in Poweramp with large buffer enabled.
guyz let ur phone build some cache.i hve no audio lag.Give it some tym.

I already have it since Friday. Until know even the biggest cache should be builded.
Hi do you have the pre rooted or stock and also what type of sdhc card ur using?
class 4 or 2?
I'm using a class 4 card, and I get a very little lagg of less then one second when turning screen on. Not annoying, but it shouldn't be like this. But that is maybe because phone is building cache.

U can only wait until se releases a new Update.
I alredy went back to 2.1 because i don't see any benefit from the laggy 2.3 experience.

Really hope SE releases a fix for this soon. This is definitely something they should not have overlooked considering how long they took with testing this update.
I've used Mixzing for over a year now. First thing I installed when I upgraded to GB.
I'm testing it out and using different scenarios but not getting any pauses or stutters in music. I may get the odd crack.
But Mixzing has settings to increase buffer size and one other setting that reads:
Leave Equalzer On?
Leave EQ on when in background on phones with bug that cause skipping
If you Google, You'll find some evidence of audio issues in GB on other devices, not just x10.
Anyone found a temporarily solution for this?

Tried Mixzing and even enabled huge buffer size but nothing changes. Inconsistant audio playback all the way...
I would just like to meet the developer and smash my X10 in his face!!!!

I havent seem to run in to anyone with this issue.
I pair my phone to my car stereo fine in the stock GB rom. Play music and talk on the phone endlessly.
But with any ICS version so far, even official. It causes reboots, randomly.
Am I the only one suffering from this?
Not the same, but something similar.
I can connect with my car stereo, have to do it twice (once for music streaming and once for handsfree). Once connected, i can stream music fine. Even the controls on my steering wheel work. When I receive a phone call sound is muted and i can talk fine as well.
After I hang up the phone, the music doesn't come back, only a 0.5 second stutter every 2-3 seconds. On my phone, in the music player I can see that it's my phone that has the problem; the visualisation displays exactly how i hear the sound.
This behaviour also occurs when I turn off my car and turn it on again.. there doesn't seem to be a single thing that i can do to get music to play again, just some fiddling usually gets it to work (but then i have to stop my car first before i can have music..)
If anyone has any ideas for troubleshooting let me know!
I honestly think ics has compatibility issues with certain bluetooth devices.
We can only hope they realize this and take measures to correct it.
Gingerbread is flawless.

A2DP issues
I find I have similar issue. I have a SONY bluetooth deck in my car and my phone will lock up and force restart mid song or mid phone call.
Anyone have any ideas apart from flashing that 4.0.4 Rom
Reguardless what i connect to with bluetooth be it my computer, my car, or my bluetooth headset the music controls (play, pause, forward, reverse, and starting the voice talk thing) no longer seem to work properly if the screen is off when i activate them.
Scenario: Listen to music via bluetooth in my car.
Press voice call button on my deck
Phone screen is off, its sitting in the glove box (not legally allowed to be within reach when driving)
What SHOULD happen: Brings up the voice control app... "What would you like to do", and i can tell it to play music or make a call or text or whatever.
What DOES happen: most of the time nothing, returns an error that the phone does not support this feature.
The same happens for when i want to change the song or play/pause the music.
Also get the same sort of problem from my bluetooth headset (Blueant T1) when starting the "voice commands" option. If the phone screen is off i get an error, if the phone screen is on it works as it should.
This only started happening after updating to ICS XXLPQ (stock). Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a different version of ICS that works better, or a custom rom thats tweaked for everything? I use bluetooth damn near every day, it has to work for me.
Thanks in advance!
Bump? Does anyone know what im talking about, have you experienced this sort of thing? Are there others with this problem or should i try reinstalling my rom as if it were an isolated event? I could really use some direction here.
Hi,
I have same problem with my autoradio sony MXBT3900U.
GS2 reboot every 15 min when I use bluetooth function (a2dp, phone, etc.)
I've read that 4.0.4 ics version resolve this issue.
I think we should wait this update or install a custom rom with 4.0.4 (hydrogenics, etc.) or install a GB version.
rgs.
I've got the same problem while playing music in my car.
What I've found MIUI ICS roms support this nicely.
and I've been using them cause of this very purpose.
Actually I kinda like MIUI.
Regards
Gaurav
FWIW, when I got the message you mention about not supporting this feature, I found it was because it was trying to ask me which app I wanted to open in response to the button press.
Try pressing the BT button when screen unlocked and check that it's not something silly like that.
Having read your post properly, it probably isn't.
Yes, it most definately is not something silly like that. Glad to hear im not the only one, now to wait another 5 months to get an update from Samsung I really with sammy was better with updates...
Yep...got the same problem too - pause/play just wont have it on ICS. I've tried a few ICS ROMs - all got the same issue, sound is clear as bell and next/prev tracks work fine - but not pause/play! But must admit, I've yet to try a MIUI Rom.....suggestions?
ICS is proving a PITA for me. I'm on Wanamlite at the mo and I need Sky Go to work (which it does fine) but on the 4.0.4 ROMs I've tried like Hydrogen, it wont work! Knowing my luck, if I try a MUIU rom and I get pause/play to work on my BT headset - Sky Go won't
Found the following post when doing a search on it:-
Fix Bluetooth headset/headphone controls in Mog for Android 4 (ICS)
I submitted this via Mog Mobile App Support but was shot down and told to submit it as a "feature request" here. The problem is that Bluetooth play and pause controls do not work in the Mog app for Android 4 (ICS). The skip and rewind buttons work just fine, but play and pause are not responsive. Specifically, on my Galaxy Nexus device, I cannot play or pause music using the Bluetooth controls on any Bluetooth headset or headphones. This worked with previous versions of Android.
I have contacted the Android development team about this, and they said that the Play/Pause specification in ICS has changed a bit. And all that is required is a short coding change on your part (and other developers with similar apps).
They even provided the proper coding:

So it looks like there's the answer.... it's just that it may as well be written in Swahili for all the good it does me. Maybe the Devs can implement whatever that means, into the roms (or produce a flashable zip?)
EDIT: Found a temp workaround during more googling.... it's an app called Media Button Router and seems to do the job on my S2.... HTH somebody else here!
It helped me! Thanks! Now I hope they fix it for everybody. Media Button Router works for most of my audio apps. I wish it would just go back to the previously playing thing when you hit play though. That and it doesn't seem to recognize Audible for Android...

Dude, you just made my day !!!
It works flawlessly with my Pioneer Car Radio! I couldn't use any HW buttons to control my music until you mentioned this app .
Kudos!
Strange new problem...
I use a bluetooth car stereo, and on my phone I have "Smart AudioBook". Basically what happens it, when I start the engine, the phone and stereo sync automatically and it starts playing my audiobook from where it left off. When I turn the car off, it stops.
This all worked fine when I was using a previous ROM (one of the SuperNexus ones, 4.2.2 I think).
I recently changed my ROM though and upgraded to the CM10.2 jellybean 4.3 rom.... but there was some pretty terrible battery issues, and the bluetooth problem started. (Which ill describe below).
I thought it might be a ROM issue though so I tried SlimBean (another jellybean 4.3 rom) and that fixed the battery problem, but the Bluetooth issue was still there... but I couldnt see ay other references to 4.3 causing bluetooth problems (they were apparently all in 4.2, though I never had an issue before..)
THE PROBLEM:
The book will play normally, for a couple minutes or so, but then suddenly the audio will stop, and the stereo screen will say "paused". But if I look at my phone screen, the audiobook is still running (silently thought). I cannot unpause it using the stereo button.
BUT.. if I actually pause it on the phone screen, THEN I can unpause using the stereo and it will start playing through the car speakers again.
This cant be a problem with the stereo, as nothing has been altered on it. This is clearly an android thing.
I am considering one of the 4.2.2 ROMS to install next, and see if that solves anything, but I was wondering if anyone out there had any thoughts on other ways to fix this?
Thankyou
Bluetooth and cm dont mix. 4.3 is still in early stages. Best bet is custom stock based 4.1.2
This has bin covered alot.

I have tried googling but it does not really give a direct answer.
I have a rooted galaxy s3 with Resurrection remix which I love, but I am experiencing some problems with audio. Initially, audio would not really play out of headphones unless I let the audio play out of speaker and then put my headphones back in again. After downloading Soundabout to help with this, it seems now that audio only plays out of my headphones when I use the Google play music widget on my homescreen and do not lock the device, if I try to enter the google play music app whilst I am listening to something, the music instantly stops coming out of my headphones but then continues if I go back to homescreen again. This is also the same it seems with Sound cloud. I have seen some suggestions, one of which is to do a factory reset but I would deeply rather not do this, is there any other method of fixing this? Audio works but it is rather temperamental and seems to only work when doing having it in a certain way. I have heard about an app called Viper4android, but I have not actually tried it yet.
A side note, but it is not priority to fix at the moment, I am also experiencing a shorter battery life then when I had my stock touchwiz rom and also my phone seems to get hotter at the bottom (like it would in an intense game) but when I am just on the homescreen using it a lot with a fair few apps open and doing a lot, is this normal on this rom? It kind of makes me fearful about using the rom too much in case I somehow damage my phone. Anyway, my main concern is the audio problem but if anyone can answer that as well that would be nice.
Apart from these problems, I am loving this rom and would really like to keep it as the performance is phenomenal compared to my stock samsung rom. Please help so that I do not have to go away from this brilliant rom because of some problems.
Simliar issues
I'm having very similar issues with CM11 on 4.4.2... Although my issue is that my headphones occasionally stop working and only work when I open Google Now... very weird. I have to reboot to get it right again. Haven't figured out how to replicate the bug yet.
