Serendipity 9.4 & Bluetooth - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

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).

[Q] New Bluetooth Issues with Official ICS update. Anyone else?

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.

Bump, same thing. Was fine with the stock gingerbread and seemed fine with ICS 4.0.3 (though many people have been reporting problems)
After updating via kies to 4.0.4 yesterday my wifi is nulled.
Wifi analyzer is reporting great signal strength but it hardly loads any pages/apps and cuts out in under 40 secs.
*Want to downgrade back to 4.0.3*
Edit: I have a Virgin Superhub if thats a common denominator with you guys

In my case, this problem persists on every wifi access point I connect to: work, home, train, supermarket... this is not related to router/hub brand.

I haven't tested mine on any other network so i assume its not functional anywhere,
I don't have the first clue about how to downgrade it back to 4.0.3 though I would love for that to be an option in Kies, 'flash previous Rom'
It might be, as I say I haven't looked into it yet, give it another week with no Wifi and I'm sure it'll be bugging me though. This could be a blessing in disguise, I might end up with a bloatware free cooked rom, yey!

Try another kernel.
Ok I went to the official firmware section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Downloaded android I9100XWLPT (4.0.4) [the same version which was already installed]
Reflashed with odin (make sure kies is closed or it won't work) now my Wi-fi is working perfectly with 4.0.4.
weird.

Which tether app for 10.2

Running cm 10.2 and I can't seem to get WiFi tether to work..running the 3.3. The built in cm hotspot seems to work..devices connect but get no internet

wifi
Ya i ran to this issue for the last year. Some peoples phones work with the native wifi mine never has. I have tried the trevemod, wifi was less then 2mb. Then i found the 3.2 and 3.3 versions of tether. It takes a lot of tweaking to finally to get it to work but they do work. Problem i always had is if i used my phone as it was going sometimes it would turn it off. And after an hour the data would be less. So i would have to reboot phone then i would get over 20mb again.
So not sure if it works on 10.2 but i came a crossed a thread in the OMni 4.4.2 Rom posed by SIlentstyder. found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495109&page=24
He came a crossed it for use with the NExus 5 via sprint. There are step by step screen shots how to do it. I gave it a shot and it worked like a charm. I have full 30Mb LTE + utilizing the native tether. It worked on the OmniRom. Then i went back to see if worked on DirtyUnicorns 4.4.2 and it worked there as well. Havent tried it on the sense roms but would assume it works there as well.
Only issue i had found is with dirtyunicorns rom, which i like the best out of the kit kat roms, is the internet works fine. i can connect any device but i cannot open my work email on any device connected to it. as well as that vpn doesnt work. So i went back to OmniRom and i can do this no problem. So not sure what thats about. I havent seen any post that have that same issue. So hopefully there will be an update soon and i can try it again.
Give it a shot, just make sure to save a copy of the settings.db if it doesnt work.

Bluetooth problem on Kitkat ROMs

I Have SGS2 I9100 and have problems with Bluetooth working when I'm calling. Bluetooth works when I listen music and i can hear touch tones when pressing number before dialing but once i dial the Bluetooth is silent no voice on nothing. I can call and hear people when i call them without Bluetooth.
I have installed following ROMS with same result in the end: Carbon, AOSP Neat, Resurrection remix and Slim kitkat.
I have no idea where the problem lies it seam like every 4.2+ rom has same issue. i have checked my system folder and rw--r--r is there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am also having the same issue. When connecting to my car, bluetooth music works , just the phone doesn't. As a phone call is initiated you can hear sound for a split second then it cuts out. I am currently on the latest Resurrection Remix. I have searched the development forum and see that others have the same problem, but just like this thread, nobody seems to have a solution for it.
Any help would be great
Thanks for your help

Same exact issue. I tried Cyanogenmod, Omnirom, and a couple different versions of each (stable, M build, nightly), and nothing worked. I did a full wipe each time, and that still didn't help. I even tried apps like Mono Bluetooth Router to no avail. I finally went back to stock JB 4.1 since bluetooth is a must for me.
In case it matters, my phone is branded as a I9100M for Bell Canada. It's supposed to be the exact same hardware as the I9100, but could it possibly be slightly different? I see cliff03 is in Canada as well. I can't tell for sure, but it seems like the problem affects some users but not others. Maybe that's why?

Okay, I think I figured it out. While I was testing I flashed a stock I9100 (not I9100M) ROM, and since then my bluetooth is now working on all custom KK roms. This is the I9100 ROM I flashed (I9100XWMS2):

Android Auto issues with Stock- Any alternative ROMS

I am having issues connecting to Android Auto Head Unit in my car. I simply get "Phone Charging" notification on and off. I tried most suggested things like, enable debug mode, reinstall Android auto in phone. Nothing seems to work.It would be great if anyone can share some hints on making it work in my car. I have seen others facing issues like only half the screen being displayed in the Car Head Unit. But in my case it is never getting connected .
I am pretty happy with the performance of Stock Rom except for this minor annoyance. I would like to know if Android auto works with any other techniques. If not then it would be good to know its working with Custom Roms.
it solved in miui 10.. wait some weeks when comes with a stable version.

I am on Miui 10..but the problem persists. Any idea when this will be resolved as am used to AA for my drive, it was perfect in my OP3T, I might have to shift back to OP3T.
