I was running CM9 nightlies, which worked great. Then I flashed back to an official ROM and updated to the official ICS. Now I'm getting frequent disconnects when listening to music via bluetooth audio (bluetooth speaker dock, in-car bluetooth, etc). I never once had this issue with CM9 nightlies.
Anyone else experience similar issues?

I am too. Never had a problem with Gingerbread but just upgraded to the official ICS and it's freaking annoying.
I'll probably be switching back to CM9 nightlies. Even in its pre-beta state, it seems far more reliable than the official ICS ROM.
I do really like Samsung's music player app, though. I only wish I could install that on CM9 somehow.
If you are having BT disconnects on ICS,
Try plugging in the charger while testing it. The phone won't enter deep sleep while charging.
Some of the BT devices are not playing well with ICS.
My BT under ICS is about the same as under GB (all stock) except that my headset pause/play button no longer works under ICS.

Well, CM9 is ICS and I had no issues with my BT devices. It's something unique to the official ROM.
Maybe there's a way to modify the BT/sleep behavior on the official ROM, but at that point why not just use a custom ROM that works better?

I started having trouble with BT disconnects a few months back when I began testing Shostock2 and AOKP custom roms. I think custom roms are great, I just prefer Shostock2.
The charging cable plugged in work around will be my best suggestion for non-rooted ICS with BT disconnect issues.
My thread on this is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609686
I'm still using Tasker to avoid the problem.
Probably something changed in the BT software somewhere...
I'm getting high voltage warnings with the stock ics and once the battery passes 35 percent it drains quickly. If I plug it to charge the phone just gets hot I have to restart to get it to charge

I installed the F1 Galaxy Nexus ROM (ICS 4.0.4) and never had any problems with Bluetooth disconnects. So hopefully it's fixed now. I'm dl'ing the latest ShoStock 4.0.4 and will see if it's fixed as well.

Hi all,
I am using my gs2 with my Sony headunit (bt2600) in my car. It's great for calls but the quality while playing music is poor. It seems to always be slightly distorted and crackles at any volume combination on the phone and headunit. It has no quality problems using an auxiliary cable from the headphone port.
Has anyone else had this problem and know of a fix?
I'm using the standard unrooted XYKI4 rom but will happily change if another rom would solve it.
Thanks
This is the famous A2DP problem. No solution has been found until now and Samsung hasn't done anything either.
So you can use CM7 or MIUI where this problem has been fixed, or else wait for a stable ICS...
Ah ok, thanks for the reply. I'll need to decide whether to wait for Samsung or take the plunge and install a custom rom.
It's been fixed on the nexus. So there is a chance it shall be fine on ICS. I've battled this issue on my Sony headunit but cm7 and MIUI works a treat. Take the plunge but be careful.

My girlfriend has a GS2 with a Pioneer headunit without any problems. I have my GS2 connected to my Toyota in-car satnav headunit and also there bt audio sounds fine without any distortion.
Btw I am on 2.3.6 (KI4) stock with Siyah 2.6.3 kernel.

I just got a BT2800 and don't have any issues with the sound. It is better with the BT volume from the phone turned down a bit though.
I'm using checkrom v4
I tried ICS myself, and the problem has indeed been fixed. So that's some good news.
If I remember correctly, it was a problem in Gingerbread, Google fixed it later on but Samsung never bothered to apply that particular fix - at least up to the XWKK5 firmware.

Does anyone have this working with an ICS Rom?
So far have not had any problems with any ROM and Bluetooth audio. ICS and GB both worked fine, had to just re-pair my phone when I flashed something new.
Using Ford Sync, which has its own issues.

Been having the same problems. Haven't found a single Rom with this fixed. only GB works.
Have you tired other devices?
My old Kenwood would drop out with my Android but my wife's iphone would be fine.
My new Sony has no problems.
Not saying that is the issue but that's what happened to me

I have installed Serendipity 9.4 on my SGH-i777. Everything works great until I turn on Bluetooth for use in my vehicle. Once Bluetooth is on, it connects to my device just fine, but after about 10 minutes or so, it will disconnect. Sometimes when it disconnects it will re-boot the phone, or freeze-up the phone as well.
I don't want to go back to Serendipity 8.2. However, the Bluetooth connectivity is the whole reason I bought the phone, and it worked beautifully on Serendipity 8.2.
Is there any fix or patch for this?

I don't think Serendipity has anything to do with this.
On my vehicle this is an ICS issue. I posted my workaround in the following thread,

Is your car stereo Sony ?
I am having same problem on Semi rom. Pretty sure will also happen on stock rom.
Doing google search about it, I found that is may be problem with all Samsung 4.0.3 rom and roms based on it.
Same problem is reported on i9100 (International version of SG II)
And everyone with this problem was using Sony.
Installing a rom with android 4.0.4 appears to be only fix. (Unless going back to gingerbread).
I'm trying to find ICS or JB Roms that have A2DP support. Until today I've been running Unnamed 2.2.1 which works great with my car's stereo and I'm able to stream pretty much whatever I want.
But wanting to update my phone to the latest android versions I started flashing some Roms and I haven't found one that would stream music via Bluetooth to my car's stereo.
Roms I've tried so far with no luck are:
CM9 Stable
AOKP JB (10.5.2012)
Slim Bean
SuperNexus Build 2 & 3
Aberration 1.3
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
I've been able to use A2DP to my car stereo on both cm9 and cm10. Make sure you delete the pairing on your stereo before connecting again after you flash a new ROM. That may be your problem.

Thanks for the response. I deleted all the saved paired devices from my car and I tried again with both CM9 stable and CM10 latest nightly and the stereo receives the song's info but it when I press play it the phone gets stuck playing on 0:01 of the song and nothing happens after that.
A2DP seems to be broken in a lot of kernels from reading around the dev forum. Try a different one.
Edit: Kernel, not rom.

Thanks for the response. I installed CM9 stable with the next kernels:
Siyah-v4.1.6-mswap
N.E.A.K-2.0.6x-AOSP
fluxi-xx-I777-7-29-2012
And still no luck getting a2dp working. I'm starting to think that it might be my car's stereo, I have clarion head units on all 3 of my vehicles and they all use "Parrot bluetooth module" whatever that means.
What I still find weird is that the Rom I'm running right now works great, so I guess I'll be running GB while I figure out how to get this working with a ICS or JB Rom.
I too am having the same problem with the A2DP support. I just flashed my 1st ROM on my GS3 and I'm not getting any audio through my car stereo speakers. Are most of the JB ROMS lacking this support? By looking at most of the posts, A2DP support seems to be broken. Almost makes we want to revert back to stock ICS :crying:
ROM currently running: Codename Android 3.6.6

Or you could look at it this way: He's providing another data point that says that a different JB rom on a different device has the same problem. That more than likely points to a problem in JB with A2DP that is not just on the i777...

No, I look at it like it's about a different phone that has nothing to do with ours. And needs to be posted in the proper section.
Hello Folks. Is anyone here familiar with a kernel that has fully functional Bluetooth audio? I have a Jawbone Era headset, & no matter what 4.2.2 ROM/ Kernel combo I flash, I experience the same issue. I can hear the folks on the other end just fine, but they all have trouble hearing me. Flashing back to 4.1 ROMS, resolves this issue for me, but I enjoy & miss the newer features of JB 4.2 ROMS when I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

same for me
I'm having the same issue but the Bluetooth also causes my phone to slow way down and almost unusable. I did a search and found some others saying they have the same issue but have only seen one "maybe" fix. I tired the fix that included wiping my phone putting it back to stock, doing a factory rest and then reinstalling the rom again. I have tried AOKP, Slimbean, CM10.1, JellyBam, PACman, and SHOstock 3. the only one that I can get to work is the SHOstock 3 but I really like the CM based roms better. anybody have any other ideas on how to fix this right now I am using a 4.1 AOKP because it works just fine. I have also tried different kernels but no matter what my phone with 4.2.2 and Bluetooth just don't get along

I've read that the 4.3 update that may be out soon should have a fix for the low power Bluetooth problems. I say "may" and "should," but there could be a fix on the horizon. I am hoping they can fix it to send metadata so I can see song info on my car stereo.
