I purchased mine yesterday. Once the WOW effect wore off, came the disappointments..
The bluetooth is terrible. Lots of static in my Plantronics Voyager Pro, and also it pairs with my Nissan BT handsfree, but only connects the first time, afterwards its not possible to connect to it anymore.
Flashed to the latest KE7, factory reset, did not help at all.
How can such an expensive phone be like this? Bluetooth is one of the most important features in a phone...
I have the same pairing issue like you. Don´t get my Sony Bluetooth headset to work. Tested it with two devices.
I have car bt xplode System and i never had it so good. Always connects. It does skip if wifi is on though. I had the same issue with gs1.

Happily mine works nice, with SonyEricsson a2dp stereo headset, Belkin a2dp receiver, a nokia handsfree (not sure about the model), the file transfer is faaaaaast
It has paired everything I used it with and no problems so far.
The sound is even better than it is via my retired iphone.
does anyone tried working with SE LIVEVIEW.
My N1 had truble, and looking forword to SGS2 and don't know yet if it is OK.
Also have problem with a Plantronic Discovery 975. Statics and stuttering sound. No problem pairing though and it is the same (bad) sound quality if I'm near or 5 m away.
I'm on KE7 firmware.
Wow, should this be added to the official bug list?
For me, bluetooth intermittently skips if wifi is turned on. Once I turn wifi off, its crystal clear. This has happened on all my different bluetooth headsets so if other are experiencing the same thing, I think this is definitely an "official bug".
Mine skips, and randomly drops connection to my JVC car stereo requiring a reboot. Back and forward buttons don't work reliably either.
Anyone who says theirs is clear is wrong. They just don't have an ear for decent sound quality. The bitpool on every Android phone (including Cyanogen) is horribly low and it really shows in the mid-high tones (ie hi-hats). No-ones is different.
Worst of all, sometimes if I get out of my car, I'll get a 'hot' leg where the device is overheating from the bluetooth going nuts. I feel like it's damaging my SGS2.
Yapp, can confirm that turning of wifi stopped the stuttering. Sound isn't great but probably usable. Defenitly a bug?

Any progress on this yet? Mine drops the sound quite a lot. Remains connected but just no sound and does this about every 15 minutes, requiring bluetooth to be turned on and off.
First let me start off by saying, my bluetooth pairs well with my Motorola S7HD and the sound to ME is DECENT until you put it in your pocket and from there it gets "staticky" somewhat but not too bad.
As for the car, I have to manually pair the phone to the car stereo every time. Sometimes it would connect it to automatically. The sound to MOST of us in the car is fine. Keep in mind most of us aren't audiophiles. If it plays well, understandable, and without any static, it's a ok in my book.
The suckerpunch is that sometimes the bluetooth would drop connection now and then. I need to do a restart on the phone to get it flowing again. Meh.
If anyone finds a fix, please tell
i also get crappy sound quality, but whats worse is, that neither the mic nor the earplugs work on my BT headset when i try to answer a call! (sony ericsson mw600 headset)
only when i pause the call and resume it, the headset works!
did anyone experienced this?
solved it by disabling wifi....seems to be a common android issue
Any progress on this issue?
E.g. does 2.3.4 improve?
Hi @all,
I noticed a (bluetooth) headset issue while calling (not only in this rom, even in all roms i have tested): when wifi is on, crack sounds make every call inaudible.
It happens with plantronics voyager 520 and BMW professional (2011) car kit.
I can't believe having the best phone with such an error.
Suspending wifi, stops the crack sounds, but the quality of headset calls is much worse than with my "old" SGS1.
I use my phone two hours a day for calling. I'm not amused about this fact.
Other surveillances?

Hey guys,
I am having serious BT streaming and Call Issues with my MoPho. When I connect it to my car's (Hyundai Genesis Coupe) BT, there are pauses when streaming music and when I make a call, the quality is not good. This never happened to me with my other phones (HTC Evo Shift and Nexus S 4g). Any suggestions? I am running stock rooted.

My guess is it's a combination of the phone and your car's BT.
I pair my Photon with my Kenwood KDC-X995 and call quality is excellent.
I can't comment on streaming audio as the deck doesn't support it (crazy i know considering it's Kenwood's flagship aftermarket single-din deck :-/ )
I disagree, I think the phone's bluetooth is severely messed up. I have a Plantronics m100, voyager and a Bose bluetooth. ALL of them do this: I can connect and start talking on the call, if I put the phone in my pocket cal quality goes from 10 to about a 4. Also, when talking on my bt (any of them) I can talk for about 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 minute, it is just random. It will completely disconnect although my bt light is still on on the phone, I hear them through the headset, then the phone just hangs up. If I catch it in time I can toggle the bluetooth button on the phone and they will be back. They are actually sending me another phone, but if it doesn't fix it I will just send it back.
I think this is on moto's end.

Can honestly say mine hasn't done any of this
I use the BT in my car stereo, a Jabra BT8040 and a Jabra Extreme headset.
Mine works great with my jaw bone icon for audio and media. Best connection ive ever had with a phone and the range is great I thought my headset was bad when I had my nexus, but it works great with this phone.

Your blue led lights up when on BT?
1. Does the s3 have the audio Jack on top or bottom?
2. I briefly owned a s2 and when I had it connected to my fm transmitter I could hear it turning on and off via a somewhat loud pop....this was the case with calls and music / notification sound...it would ding for a txt then I could hear it shutting the audio Jack down....this compared to my vibrant where I never noticed it....could someone test it with headphones or computer speakers turned up loud?
I ask because the s2 was horrible during calls while headphones were connected. I had to hold it very close to be heard clearly. Not sure if it's all connected but hopefully this was worked out?

Does anyone else think that the volume is too low while talking on the phone? The quality of the calls are great, but I wish it were louder both using the speakerphone and with the phone to your ear. The volume is even worse when using it through an auxiliary port in my car. Playing it through the speakers I have to jack the volume on my radio to 25 but listening to music I'm usually in the 7-10 range. The speakerphone is useless with all the ambient noise inherent with driving. Does anyone know of a sound boosting app that can fix this issue?
Ahh, I thought I was the only one having this issue. I use Bluetooth all the time and it is also very low. I haven't done a reset yet and that's my next move soon. Doubt it's the BT since I have been using it with the previous LG g3.

I haven't used Bluetooth headphones with this phone yet but that doesn't sound promising. I really hope that there's an app or some hidden setting that can fix this issue. I hate having to do a reset for any reason after I have the phone set up the way I like it.
Same issue. Can hardly hear other people direction the phone and with Bluetooth headphones which work perfectly fine on G3.
Anyone having an issue with Bluetooth quality when using headphones. When my phone is in my pocket I get sounding like it's underwater. Occasionally in the car. Using pixel buds 2
I'm also having issues it disconnects randomly
When walking outside with my Surface Earbuds, the sound is often garbled. It is solid in the car and inside the building, though. I think it is cross signals cancelling the Bluetooth signal out, but that is just a guess.
