Bluetooth Issue - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello All.
Was up until recently a long time Sprint customer with a GS2. Played with the Note 2 during the holiday break, Was not only impressed by the Note 2 but VZ's 4G Blew me away. I had to make the switch.
I own a small bluetooth speaker for Media playback.
Speaker: http://stanleytek.com/StanleyTek.html (I own the PS3)
I never had any issues whatsoever streaming via this speaker with my old GS2.
I am having playback issues with the Note 2. I can pair with the speaker with no problems, but when I play music, every 1-2 seconds I get some type of beeping tones (via the bluetooth speaker).
I've gone through all troubleshooting steps that I can think of. Ive confirmed this beeping tone is present no matter what app I am using to play music (Rdio, Spotify, Music Player, Pandora, Etc).
It's not the speaker as I can pair to it with other media devices and playback without any issues.
Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?
I use this little (but VERY powerful) speaker very often and this issue is hindering me from doing so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Is It Just me or is there an issue with Android & (some) Bluetooth Stereo Devices?

Is It Just me or is there an issue with Android & (some) Bluetooth Stereo Devices?
Using a Jabra BT3030 I get the lovely convenience of receiving a phonecall and wirelessly listening to music but, it just seems VERY buggy at times. The main thing is after being on a call (mostly receiving a call but many times making a call also bugs things up) and trying to play music or any audio in the G1, sound just stutters baaadly
Thought it was just when my G1 was rooted but as I run it on stock still get the same thing. When I toyed around with the Motorola Droid in Verizon store the other day after wowing myself and seeing that it had a working phone signal I paired my headset to it and played music & watched youtube vids on there... after calling the Droid phone and then trying to play back sounds guess what? Stuttering playback!!
The stuttering stops when I turn the Jabra off then back on but (a) this is annoying for obvious reasons (b) there may be times when things are finicky with pairing/re-pairing headset with phone. There's other little annoyances here & there like some lag @ times when trying to pause/ff/rw but the stuttering crap annoys me and going by the Droid running 2.0 it's still a problem then.
Thus I'm wondering how everyone's experience is with whatever bluetooth stereo (A2DP) device their pairing with their G1's (or any other android device you using). I'm hoping it isn't just my Jabra BT3030 but sadly accept the possibility it -could- be the culprit . Phonecalls for the most part are clear even while sound goes through buggy (altho I had a couple moments where the phone would reboot when a call comes in on my Dream but didn't happen in a while *knocks on wood*).
I am also having problems with my Jabra BT3030. Im using BlueMagic MKrII ROM. Major issue is that I cannot go foward or backwards between tracks, nor pause or play. Only the volume works. And I've noticed that when I artivate the google voice app, my music stutters from then on.

[Q] Problem with Bluetooth phone

Hello all,
I am having a problem getting the phone part of my new DNA to work with blue-tooth in my car. The A2DP works great but after I answer or make a phone call with my Car Stereo (eclipse 3200) I cant hear anything and they cant hear me. If I use the dial-pad on the phone to make a call I hear the tones from the button pushes but nothing after the call is connected.
Thanks for any help or suggestions

I have a Sony bluetooth player in my car and it will not even recognize the device.
Edit: It was a user error on my part. I have successfully paired and it works flawless.

My car recognizes and pairs with the DNA, but it will only play the first 1-2 seconds of music, then the radio stops receiving any audio. Sometimes it works properly and will play songs completely, but the majority of the time, it will cut out. I can pause and unpause it, and I'll get 1-2 seconds of music, then it stops again.
Also, any high pitched sounds (ie. cymbals, percussion, etc.) are very distorted. I had this same issue on the Thunderbolt The Galaxy Nexus I had for the past year had no issues and sounded perfect over bluetooth.
I am disappoint.

I think the phone just has bluetooth problems in general, or BT4 is just not 100% backwards compatible. I have a Pioneer stereo, and never had any problems with any of my android devices (OG Droid, Droid X, inc2 and gNex) connecting, but when I connect my DNA, it actually crashes the phone process on the handset and it restarts (the process, not the handset). It still appears to be connected to the stereo after that, but I haven't tried making a call yet.
Stereo doesn't support BT streaming, so I can't test that. Has an SD slot, and that's all I ever use.
I'm having the same problem. My music will play for about 3 seconds, then goes silent. The car says I'm still connected, Google Music is still playing, but it mutes out. Was having fun while driving hitting the pause/play button to listen to a song 3 seconds at a time. Does anyone know if this is a OS problem, hardware problem or incompatibility, or other problem? I didn't see many posts about this elsewhere and haven't heard back from Verizon.

Working fine for me with my Kenwood. Music does skip occasionally, but my other phones (galaxy nexus, thunderbolt) have done that too.

For all of us who suffer a HTC Toyota combo and the dreaded bluetooth pause issue I believe I have found the issue and got a working solution !
From what I gather, the HTC music player sets the bluetooth player state to pause when leaving the music player and most other apps do not set it back to streaming. I found one which does, so a simple solution !
1. Start and stop a piece of music with the Fplay music player and it will reset the bluetooth player state to streaming. I put a widget on the home screen.
2. Start your other apps and enjoy streaming sound again.
3. Enjoy

Bluetooth music quality

Does anyone else have issues playing music downloaded to the watch through bluetooth headphones? My watch seems to be playing music through the bluetooth phone profile instead of the music profile because it sounds horrible! It skips and has a lot of static. If I connect to a bluetooth speaker it is fine, but I haven't had any luck with headphones. Trying to decide if it's software related or if I should just exchange it. Didn't have this issue with the Huawei watch.
Works fine with my Bose Bluetooth over the ears.

Audio resumes, then pauses and resumes again... why?

I have noticed a strange occurrence with audio playback... but only when in my car. This is somewhat related to an issue I have had with the LG Hi-Fi Plus, but I am not sure on the exact cause.*
I'm using an LG G5 (H860), not rooted, build no. MMB29M, software version V10h-TWN-XX. I'm using Poweramp to play the music. Poweramp version 2.0.10-build-588-play.*
Poweramp has this nice option to auto resume music playback upon headphones or AUX being plugged in. Works the same when you unplug (pauses music). I have both those options enabled, so when I get in my car I plug my phone into the AUX cable and music plays immediately.
HOWEVER, I've started noticing that a second or two (sometimes a lil longer - 5 to 10 seconds) the music will temporarily pause, then after another second or so it resumes again. This doesn't happen every time, but I would say frequently. I don't recall if this was happening with my last couple phones (Samsung Galaxy Note 2, then LG G3). I've had this G5 for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I mentioned the LG Hi-Fi Plus above because I bought that with the G5, but in my car the music was randomly stopping, but not resuming like I described above. I've since sent the Hi-Fi Plus back. I've tried various different music files (ones ripped from my CDs, ones bought from Google Play Music and ones bought from Bandcamp). I've tried using three different cables.*I have the Audio Buffer on highest setting (+750ms) and Audio Thread Priority is on Highest. I have two Bluetooth connections going, one to my Pebble and one to the car. I've troubleshooted this by killing both, and the issue still occurs.*
I've captured this issue happening in three video files, all uploaded to my Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uffrjrxzjpfdegc/AABp1iPVJh6fS4SHqkHQ-8lMa?dl=0
The first video file isn't the best example because the first track has a spoken intro, and the pause occurs during that.*
Has anyone heard of anything like this? It might be a Poweramp issue, but I cannot troubleshoot that because I don't know of any other music apps that have the auto resume feature. I will do some research... Alternatively it could be the G5, or even the car. Maybe I need a Ground Loop Noise Isolator.*

Bluetooth audio distortion

Anyone else noticing slight distortions when it comes to listening to music on the LG G6 (US997)? It's like listening to a lower quality song before it becomes high-quality 320kbps, except it goes like that for any song, even songs stored on the phone. This occurs over Bluetooth. I haven't tested plugged in.
Do you have any other bluetooth accessories connected at the same time? I found my smart watch impacts music streaming quality over bluetooth
I have this same issue. It seems like the phone had trouble handling multiple Bluetooth connections. Mine sounds like a static/crackle on every speaker that I use.
I am hoping there are some Bluetooth fixed coming with Oreo.

Mine had a hissing sound on the car's bluetooth, solved it by seting the audio settings from stereo to mono, weird problem dough
I did sone playing around and it seems to be fixed after clearing dalvik/caxhe and caxhe through twrp. I don't experience the issue anymore. Might just be me, but give it a try and see if it works for you.
