Which ROM kernel etc?

its okay i used to have this,
Go into SETTINGS for power amp, go to AUDIO FOCUS, and make sure all of them are checked i once had funny looks but no more! i think its called short audio focus
(the developer should have it enabled by default!!)

is there a way to keep it all in the headphones? I like that I can hear the beepbeep but my music doesn't stop.. anyone know a way to do this?
lite'ning rom 2.7 if it matters.. anyone else have this issue?

i read that if you put your phone on vibrate/silent nothing will play through loudspeaker and your music should not stop. but i dont think you will hear the notification! hope this helps!!

[Q] Bluetooth Audio Quality

Is anyone having issues with 'tinny' and distorted sounding audio while streaming via A2DP? I'm using a Blackberry audio gateway that worked flawlessly with my old G1 but with the Vibrant I find the audio quality so appalling I can't even listen to it. It's definitely not a question of the volume settings being too high. It also does this for EVERY program so its a global problem, possibly with the bluetooth stack. For now I'm coping with the 1/8" jack but thats starting to drive me nuts.
Anyone experience this? Is there a way to force the stack not to use A2DP or other protocols?
Yes A2DP sounds bad for me as well. I'm using a kenwood bt-200 made by parrot for my kenwood head unit and the audio is distorted at higher frequencies and it's missing a lot of mid bass. With my wifes mytouch the same setup sounds excellent.
Samsung released an update for improved A2DP streaming in korea so maybe well see it here as well? Like you I've just been using an rca cable for audio because A2DP is simply unusable with the Vibrant.

The more I listen to it the more I think its a volume/clipping issue than an encoding issue. Thank christ I'm not alone I was beginning to suspect I was being a whiney brat about the quality.
I just tested the gateway with a third phone and it also works flawlessly. Getting frustrated...

So does anyone have experience extracting files from Samsung .rfs files? I'm trying to do so via adb and failing miserably. I'm hoping to snag the new bluetooth.apk from the 2.2 developement build from Samsung to see if it has the sound quality updates.
Anyone?
I'm trying to determine if it's just the crappy TouchWiz Music Player they replaced the default Android player with. When I stream from other apps it sounds noticeably better (like Last.FM or Pandora), and I tried the Cubed player for a comparison of MP3 audio and it also sounded better.
Have any of you done a comparison like that?
I carried over the heavily modded cyanogen music player and besides that I use slacker. Still sucks.

Yep pandora, slacker, and the music player all sound terrible through A2DP.

Phone fell on it's face when trying to use the experimental bluetooth files. Wouldn't boot or respond to anything. Going to restore my nandroid backup and call it a night. Looks like we'll have to wait for the update...
If anyone can offer some more insight in regard to what I should do with the files please let me know.
It looks like the Vibrant isn't the only Android phone suffering A2DP quality issues. Please vote on Android issue 9888 if you are experiencing subpar A2DP audio quality from your Android device!

Thanks for the heads up. Honestly sounds like a Bluetooth 3.0 issue with android now. Just shocked so few people are complaining.

update to 2.3.5 xxki4 and use poweramp latest beta
Voodoo sound doesn't work for the SGS2?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
What will updating it do? Ive got it rooted, will it wipe my root? If theres a link about how to update a rooted then plesse post so i can understand.
Ive already got the power amp beta but its no louder than what im currently Using. :-(
Thanx for the replies there appreciated
The sound is SUPPOSEDLY louder in 2.3.5 (I personally couldn't notice a difference but I never had a problem with the sound anyways). If you have the poweramp beta why not just turn up the preamp in the eq settings?
I used to use SGS2 Audioboost until it kept my phone locked at 1.2ghz whenever I played music, now I just use poweramp. It supports different eq settings for different songs or whole albums. Really useful for albums that have been recorded with a low audio output

[Q] Tasker script to solve headphones/incoming call/notification issue

Anyone able to create a profile to solve the issue we have with our note. The issue is the following,
If headphones are plugged in and we get an incoming call, the ringtone will play on both speaker and headphones.
If headphones are plugged in and we get a notification, the sound will only play through speaker.
I tried to do a basic script that has headphones plugged in and incoming call for context, then set ringer volume to 0 and play music ringtone.mp3. Add exit task to for the opposite, raise ringer volume, stop music.
The problem is, it worked, if I didn't have music playing already when I get an incoming call, which is the whole reason why I would have headphones plugged in to begin with. The task successfully sets the ringer volume to 0 so at least it didn't play on the speaker, but then nothing would play on the headphones, and the music I was playing would pause (like it's supposed to), but the ringtone I specified didn't play. Ending the call resumes the music I was playing.
Anyone willing to shed some insight on this?
This issue is next on my list. I believe it is an issue with how the phone distinguishes what the sound is. ..phone vs media...hard to explain

Bluetooth Audio Streaming issue

I have been searching around and can't seem to find anyone else that has had this issue....I installed a new stereo in my truck that has Bluetooth and my phone connects fine but when I stream music from my phone the rear speakers don't work. I have checked all the Radio settings and everything on my phone but I don't see any settings for something like that. I am on flapjaxx's ICS IMM76D UCLE2 BASE rom. Any help would be appreciated.

not every bt car audio system has the ability to stream music, just because you can make phone calls through it..
does the owners manual say that you can stream music from any android phone through it?
you might want to contact them and ask them directly
Yes, I actually bought it for the android streaming ability. I figured it has to be my phone since I can not make it do that any other time. Just curious if anyone else has had an issue like this.

Ya could try to/mess around with your radio settings while streaming. Surround sound options etc that might help. Also download a good music player for your phone with a lot of optimization ability. I use power amp pro in my 11 Kia sorento with no issues

my stereo has an option to send bt audio to front or all check your bt settings of your deck again

Latest OTA and Navigation

Just trying to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I am having with Navigation and media when connected through 3.5mm jack.
When ever I'm listening to music through Google Music or power amp and I'm also using navigation at the same time the woman's voice comes through very distorted when giving voice directions. On music apps that actually get paused when guidance is being read you don't get the distortion but on apps that turn down the volume and play the navigation over the top of it you get a pretty nasty sound through the headphone jack. On apps like Doggcatcher the problem doesn't happen because the media gets completely paused.
I've tried this on Viper 1.0(works great, old OTA). Synergy(distortion), Stock with goodies 1.04-06(distortion) Mean Rom(distortion).. Anyone else getting this?

It's due to the way poweramp works. I don't know if the bug still exists but if your listening to music and you enter another app the music gets disorded untill u disable beats audio
