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.
Ive been looking around throughout the forum and I cant seem to get a grasp on which Radio gives the best speeds and what rom should it be running.
Should it be a Stock Rom or should it be a Custom rom?
If so, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, or JellyBean?

CyanogenMod9 and included kernel are stable, good set of extras added to ICS, the modem (I think it is stock), works well. Seems like it is still a little early for CM10 (still some areas that need to be imporved). Only drawback is that it does not include Touchwiz Intercase however, 3rd party apps bring back the pen functionality (for notes and drawing).
Someone posted a link to a Google map that shows best radios FOR YOUR AREA. I recall reading the post and seeing it but you have to use a PC for the search. Look around for Google radio locator etc. I'll look too

I use this Liquid smooth ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863291 ) it's awesome! Do a backup and load with TWRP. And I use the latest icsblaze modem. I get H+ but it never says 4g am I doing something wrong? I get pretty good ~6mb speeds. Let me know guys.

I've flashed stock and custom gingerbread roms (touchwiz), stock and custom ics roms (cm9, stock touchwiz, aosp, aokp), the t-mobile note rom, and various jellybean (cm10, slim bean, etc.) roms. I've flashed every radio modified for use with t-mobile from all the modem threads including the t-mobile note radio. At the end of the day, cm9 rom (stable or nightlies) / ICS blaze modem combination works best on my phone.
I live in NYC. I consistently get about 15mbps down / 1.5mbps up (sometimes 2.5mbps up) with this rom / radio combo. The only issue I have is that a phone reboot causes my speed to drop to around 600kbps down and almost nothing up (like 25kbps).
Reflashing the radio and driving around to allow my phone to connect to various cell towers gets my speed back up to 15mbps down / 1.5mbps up. For the life of me I don't understand why. However, if I don't do this, my speed will be stuck at 600kbps down / 25kbps up indefinitely. The good thing for me is the cm9 rom on my phone is pretty solid (I rarely have to reboot) and I commute everyday so (if I have a reboot) it's just a minor inconvenience until I start driving. Then my speed comes back.
radio combo
I Myself installed Saurom and tmobile radio vlk1 i beleive its called. .. I got it from zedomax,s site....rootgalaxynote.com and it seems to do the trick. ..my best was 13 down and 3 up. ...........not sure if this is the best combo but i tried a ics stock rom for note and blazeics modem and my speeds didnt come close. ..... But dont get me wrong id like to run a custom ics or jellybean rom and grt good speeds but i find gingerbread and the radio thats on zedomaxs site runs hella faster...i have adw ex i run and its good enough for me. ..if anyone knows a awesome ics rom with radio that has super speeds lemme know. ..i useually run AOKP roms... Word good luck people

I was able to find this map. I'm going to try it out and will post my results later today.

I use black star with ics blaze. speed is same as my t-mo s2.
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:

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.
Very bored with the OS on my View 4G..
Any options for ICS? I need STABLE.. this is in my car as nav and multimedia, so it needs to be extremely stable.
There's no Stable ROM For Ics.

I got tired of using gingerbread and wanted the USB Device Host feature so i can use my ps3 controller.
Installed Dexters Jellybean 1.7 , works great except, you cant make phone calls anymore.
3G works for web/ remote desktop, but once u call someone, theres no audio back and forth.
Gonna try a work around so i can use voip / call forwarding.

No stable ics or jb rom? Not sure I agree with that statement. I recently installed YNC's CG rom, and it's been at least as stable as HTC's honeycomb build. Granted I haven't yet put the GPS or bluetooth through a good workout (both crucial to a setup in a car), but for everyday use around the house it has been rock solid.

There are still a few features yet to be implemented: front facing camera, usb otg, and a couple of others. So read the first post to see the full list of things that aren't yet functional. But if (like me) you don't ever use one of those features, this build is very good (and has been extremely stable for me). Here's the link:

So after many people telling me that the only way to accomplish what I want is to root...I did. For the first time ever, in over 5 years of Android ownership. So will itemize the issues at at hand and ask relevant questions and state what I have done within each one. But first, you should know I rooted using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026938 and I have SuperSU version 1.25, and still running stock ROM and I am S-On.
Issue 1: Wifi tether.
I have downloaded Wifi Tether version 3.2 Beta 2 and I got it to work. The issue is, is there a better performing app or a way to get this one to perform faster? I get about 2mbps on speedtest.net on my phone while the tethered devices get 0.72mbps..I want to get the same on both. Anybody know how?
Issue 2: LTE connectivity.
Many know the LTE connectivity on LTE Evo sucks the big one. So now that I am rooted, what can I do to improve it? Specific ROM? Specific App? custom radio drivers?
Issue 3: Bluetooth
Within my 3 questions here, I am obviously also asking for ROM recommendations, but I have heard certain ROMs break bluetooth and I wanna avoid that at all costs. But the real issue is not the latter. My concern is AVRCP bluetooth profile. I need it to be version 1.3 or higher in order for my phone to send track/album art info to my car's Display Audio/Navigation screen. This is something I have been trying to figure out for years, I posted many threads on this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728786 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702047 and also here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553950
The difference is that back then, I was not willing to root, but now, I'm already rooted.
So shoot me some solutions, and forever change my life! O well respected community of android tinkerers!
Now for issue 3 (bluetooth), if you guys know a way to get this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702047 to work, that would also help me. Here is the OP post quoted
darkleafar said:
So I just recently upgraded from an Evo 3D to the Evo 4g LTE, and the phone is gorgeous and all, but I've lost a major feature and it is scaring the hell out of me, I hope you guys can help:
Intro to my problem:
I have a 2012 Prius V, which has built in Bluetooth and an USB port. My Evo 3D lacked the right level of bluetooth AVRCP profile needed in order to display track names, artwork, etc, on my Prius Nav screen through bluetooth. So to work around that, I would plug in my Evo 3D into the Prius's USB port, then I would select "Disk drive/USB mass storage mode" on the phone and voila! My car saw all my music, complete with track names, album artwork, etc.
My main problem:
All of my music is in my 16GB MicroSD card, so I figured just putting it into my new LTE Evo would suffice...but it didnt. When I plug in my LTE Evo, the "Disk drive/USB mass storage mode" NO LONGER triggers my car detecting it. I noticed a new option, called "Media Sync." Selecting that WILL trigger my car dectecting the phone storage, but it ONLY detects the BUILT IN phone storage, not what's on my MicroSD card.
What's even worse...
Also, if you are wondering, the LTE Evo, despite having Bluetooth 4.0, STILL DOES NOT have the right level of AVRCP needed to display album artwork and track names over bluetooth. I was very, extremely disappointed when I realized this. I ve always been a loyal Anti-Apple/Pro-Windows/pro-Android kinda tech guy, but how come Iphones have been able to do this (track names and album artwork over bluetooth) for several years and this new super phone of ours cannot?
Where I need your help:
How can I make it so that my car can recognize my MicroSD card, not just my phone's storage?
I'm not gonna be forced to stick my music into my phone's built in storage instead of my MicroSD card, am I?
Isnt there any software/firmware or mods/rooting stuff I can do to enable tracknames and album artwork over bluetooth on this phone, since it already has bluetooth 4.0 after all?
Well, thank you very much for your time and I hope y'all have some awesome answers, more than greatly appreciated.

1.3 AVCRP Bluetooth profile is not available even on a custom kernel, since meanbean uses stock kernel with elemental X over clock modules, it doesn't have the fix for your issue #3, I've read somewhere else about this feature that even the iphone has but not this phone... Good Luck!

Dude I just rooted for the first time ever. I could not begin to tell you who develops kernels to save my life. But I would have to be S-Off for a custom kernel, right? Anybody with Cyanogen Mod wants to chime in on whether AVRCP 1.3 or higher is present?
Holy crap! A google search answered my own question, they claim AVRCP 1.3 was working on Cyanogen Mod 10.0 but that it broke on 10.1. Link here https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-20
So, can I just flash 10.0 to my phone? what is the difference between 10.0 and 10.1? are they both jellybean builds?
And another thing, the wife was testing the wifi tether on my phone with her I PAD and connection breaks after about 15 minutes. So it looks like it isnt working after all. I just like turns off by itself. Anybody know why this could be?

There is a setting that can be turning it off in the app by itself or it could be the jellybean task killer what rom is she using? And yea you can flash cm 10.0, is jellybean 4.1; cm 10.1 is jellybean 4.2... If you are s-on just remember to extract the boot.img and flash it on fastboot with this command: fastboot flash boot boot.img.
Good Luck!
