Couldnt find any fix in the related threads. I have an EVO LTE running Viper Rom. running flawless except annoying cracle/pop from music playback on a bluetooth speaker. talking on a bluetooth headset is fine. HTC suggested some things but nothing worked. My sons bone stock EVO LTE works fine on the same devices. Rom is so awesome I can live with this issue if there is no fix. I can use a cord. Thnak you for any replies.

Just an update on my b/t situation. it is 100% crystal clear....Used kernal tuner turn up the minimum frequency from the minimum 384 to around 500 or more. Just set a profile for when i plan on using b/t that will use the higher frequencies. Not sure why this fixes it, but love it now.
Thanks

Bluetooth transmit from vehicle = snap, crackle, pop
HTC One (m7) loaded with ViperOne 5.8.0 Pro. Via bluetooth, I can place calls but the caller can't hear me, though I can hear them. Music plays nicely, but not being able to transmit is a problem. Any solutions? I'm new to this whole deal, so I've given all I know to provide.
Thanks!

This is the EVO LTE forums, so you might want to visit the M7 forums. Also, make sure the microphone in your bluetooth device is working properly. Are you using the bluetooth through a car, or an actual headset/earpiece?

Thanks for the forum tip. I am quite shaky on the use of the correct forum. Anyway the problem was solved by flashing a different kernel. 3.4.10-EliteLunar when combined with ViperOne 5.8.0 on my HTC ONE works fine now. Both myself an another person were NOT able to talk though the vehicle system, hands free. Now we can. Passing along that information even though it is not EVO LTE specific...maybe it might help someone.

I know there is alot of issues with bluetooth for the TB. I was able to have full A2DP streaming with my DINC in my car but the TB and EVO wont even connect at all. I have a Sony XPLOD MEX-BT3800U. I was just wondering whats going on with the hardware compatibility and if there are any possible ways to create compatibility. What exactly is not compatible? Is it the ROM, KERNAL or RADIO? Hardware or software profiles? If someone could answer how it all works from a development / engineering standpoint that would really ease my mind. Just curious if I should throw down another few hundred on a new radio for my car or if I should just wait for software fixes.
Thanks

Personally , I would wait for a software fix. But sometimes that might not help also. But I have some issue sometime when streaming to my radio bluetooth with a little disorder sound sometimes. Very lite.

I had a similar problem with my factory radio on my Ford Fusion. I resolved my problem by updating firmware on the factory radio (MS Sync) and running the leaked radio update for TB and a stable Rom like Perfect Storm 1.4 and 1.11 batsaver kernel. My issues were resolved, I was having problems with pairing, when it would pair I would lose connection within 1 to 2 min and could not regain. Very fustrating. I attribute most of my issues with OC of TB I was too aggressive running what I thought stable at 1.5 Ghz.

I had some similar issues with my stock TB loosing bluetooth connectivity with my car. I would get in the car, it would connect, then a minute later disconnect. Turns out, I was able to fix it by unpairing, then reparing; and denying permission for the car to download the phonebook from my phone. Something in my contact list was causing the issue.
Weird about the phonebook

I have the Sony MEXBT2700 and it worked great with the tb at first, but then it, the tb, started acting up whenever I would turn the car off. This was one week after launch day for the tb. It would literally cut all sound off on the phone till I restarted, so I ended up calling verizon, then sent me a new phone about two weeks after launch day.
Since then it has been working perfect, sq isnt great, but its better than doing bluetooth from my Macbook pro.
If you've got a Ford with Synch
Just in case you've got a Ford vehicle with Synch, there is seemingly random problem that sounds like this and I posted some info over at Ford Syncmyride site. In a nut shell, simply pull the fuze for the system wait about a minute and then replace. If you're like me and you couldn't find the correct circuit disconnect battery cable.
Seems the system needs to do a "battery pull". Only have experience with the Ford Sync but that's my .02 and I hope it helps.
I have sync in my '08 focus and i've never had issues with any of my phones streaming music or placing/receiving calls.

Bluetooth with my TB to my JVC headunit has been rather problematic for me. What I did finally discover was that if I didn't allow for phonebook syncing, all is well. I am currently on Das BAMF 1.6.1 and now have perfect streaming of music and calls as long as I deny that silly phonebook.
Hope that helps.
I have been playing around with a few sense 4 ROMs. And unfortunately polluting some threads with ranting
I'd like to open a discussion with anyone who might have some ideas to try.
Here's what I have so far.
I'm beta testing viper amaze 1.6.3
1. I have Bluetooth communication between a Bluetooth ear piece, a Motorola stereo headset, and my laptop thru a rocket fish BT USB adapter.
2. All BT devices are seen when searching for devices.
3. It will pair the device and get a confirmation of " pairing successful" on all three devices.
A. No device that I have tried to pair will ask for a pin code. It's automatically pairing!
4. My Laptop sent a message to the screen on my phone to confirm that it was the correct device connected.
5. Bluetoothd isn't stopping after it's started. Only dies after a full reboot.
6. After tampering with some files in system/data/data I got the HTC FM app to turn on. It didn't do much. And wouldn't turn off.
7. I have asked faux to add some files to his kernel. I hope this narrows it down!
So it's close. I would say it's 90% working. It just doesn't complete or latch the connection.
One more thought is that the FM radio app uses the BT radio so that's why FM radio doesn't work either. But spirit FM radio does. It will fail if BT is trying to connect. But when the bt radio is idle it will work.
I have the decompiled FM radio app and I'm currently digging thru the files.
Any ideas?

Thank you. I'm going to scour through it to see if I can find whats supposed to turn on and off the bt radio.
Can you decompile the FM radio app from a 3.6 rom too??
I'll compare them and see what I can find.
Just a thought...
I'm fairly new to all this so bare with me on this one... Lol I was thinking about past ROMs and how removing certain bloatware could potentially damage the ROM you were on... Is it possible that the commands missing for Bluetooth to work fully are embedded in a bloatware app??? I don't think it would be a far-fetched idea for T-Mobile/HTC to code things in such a way that one of their apps would have to run in the background in order for Bluetooth to function properly. Kind of a fail-safe to ensure that their bloat stays on the phone...
It's not to far fetched in theory. And yes, some of the bloatware broke things when you removed them, like the stock ticker, because it was looking for something that had been removed.
This however goes a little deeper. The software came from a different device. And most all of the bloatware that is HTC stuff is there.
It has a slightly different file structure on sense 4.0 than the 3.6. Some files have been modified or combined. Our kernel is the same from what I can tell so far.
I'm running faux 26. So these new files are probably not in the kernel.
The biggest change is a file called BcrmBluetoothservices.apk where we used to have a file called BluetoothFtps.apk.
I think this is the first hurdle.
And thank you for your input! I think if enough of us can knock our heads together we can figure this out.

The devices are trying to pair and its getting an incorrect pin code. I think this might be a step in the right direction....

hell yeah,it is pretty stable!
Frankly it's poor, call is fine, but the media I get distortion and crackling, I've heard others talk about it, but no one had mentioned a fix. Is anyone aware of a resolution, it's quite aggravating. There was a file I could edit on my captivate back in the day that upped the transmission rate that took care of it. Is there something similar that could be done here?

That's Interesting. I don't have any problems with the bluetooth audio streaming quality. Sure, nothing beats an aux cable quality wise, but it's always sounded pretty good to my ears. I consider myself a little bit of an audiophile too.
I notice it mostly in my car, but I also bought backbeat go ear buds today, and it really just didn't sound right, it's not in your face like holy cow why does his voice sound like that, it's more like crackling in the highs, I don't get it through aux though, I would have thought it was my phone, but I had seen it mentioned a couple other places
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
alpine type-r interiors and sub, alpine bt head unit, everything is powered by alpine v-power amps, and I gotta say, I hear the distortion pretty clearly over bt. My old inspsire 4G running cm7 sounded AMAZING over bt. I hope someone finds away to bump up the clarity some. devs? Lol
So I think it's safe to say, you like alpine ha ha, but seriously though, thanks for the +1, didn't want people to think I was just crazy or something.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
You guys have tried this fix as stated in the General HOX+ Q&A?
Or it is a different issue?
IIRC that was the first mod I flashed for this phone, and while it helped 10 fold with the call quality, it did little to nothing for media and other audio.
i got the answer you're looking for...
i noticed this problem the first time i used my hox+ with my car stereo. same problem...bt calls are ok, but if you are listen to music, you hear ugly distortion in the highs...the sound isn't clear and the stereo image is bad.
after doing some research i found out that it has to do with the bluetooth bitpool settings. but what can you do against it: maxween did a bluetooth fix for me, which worked perfectly. it is implemented in the newest builds of his AOKP roms, and in the newest versions of Liors cm 10.1 roms.
so you can use this fix in every aosp rom.
unfortunently, there isn't a fix for stock-, and sense rom's jet. i've made a demand to mike1986 if he can implent it in his android revolution hd 6.5 rom, but it's not done atm.
so if you want to listen to some fine bt music quality (it sounds awesome in my stereo now btw.), you have to install the actual aokp or cm 10.1 rom...otherwise you have to wait for a sense fix.
ps: we've connected the brandnew htc on from my friend in my car stereo. same issue! looks like htc is doing this intentionally to sell more of the aptx care stereo adapters and beats accessoiries with the aptx codec...
I also have this problem. It annoys the hell out of me because I can ALWAYS hear it. Maybe i'm too sensitive. I don't know. Either way, I'm going to see if the Elegancia ROM can get the fix implemented.
Thanks for letting us know there is a fix.
The only way i have found to lessen the distortion is turn the media volume on the phone down to at least 3/4 and use the vehicle/Home stereo receiver to control the volume increase needed. It helps a lot, but a true fix is really needed
Indeed, and check to see if your receiver or head unit has a secondary volume control for each input. My alpine for instance, allows me to tweak the volumes for each specific input (AUX, HD radio, Bluethooth, CD) from a rang of -5db to +5. IF i set it anything above 0 it sounds like crap. Hope this helps some.
if the connection's fine, you should not have to turn down the volume. the sound quality is even better when the bt output vol is on max on your phone. on the other devices, i would recommend an input of 0db, if you are going above it, you have the risk of digital distortion, and this is sounding really ugly.
i'll post a link from maxween later so if any developer of a sense custom rom could do a fix would it be awesome
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39632#c151
here is a thread about this issue, i also found a german page from a guy which used this fix for his htc one and it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880298http://
i tried it out on my one x+ but unforunently it didn't work...so if some developer could make this "audio.a2dp.default.so" fix working on the hox+ (sense rom's) it would be awesome...
Thanks for all your research and time mr_breaks. I am hoping we can get a fix for this issue.
Using an aux audio cable is not a big deal but listening through BT is so much easier and allows me to control my music from my car controls. I like that functionality.
same here. i don't like to plug in the cable everytime and the control over my car is much confortable and safer.
btw: with the patch the bt sound is better than with cable
imo... of course it depends on the car unit, but i had very good results with my system and my hox+...

So did you fix it or not? I thought you said you tried fixing the bitrate settings but it didn't work.
If I can change the settings myself, i'd like to try it if you could guide me.
not yet. there is no way to change the bitpool manually, it has to be done in the file called "audio.a2dp.default.so".
i'm waiting for support form the developers, cause i don't have the know-how to do a fix by myself. ..."i would, if i could"

ditto. it worth a few bucks IMO.
It appears that the HTC One stock ROMs suffer from the same bluetooth audio distortion that was plaguing the N4 and other AOSP 4.1.x and up ROMs until recently.
Can someone please test some mp3 audio that is:
- Local on their device, bitrate higher than 256kbps
- streaming to a set of good speakers that can reproduce high frequencies well
Play some Led Zeppelin or jazz that has lots of cymbal work, or some vocal music, and listen for distortion on the cymbal crashes or the 's' or 'ch' sounds.
I don't believe it is just me. HTC One Sprint users are reporting the same. I just want to make sure it isn't just them and my unit or something.

Sigh. 3 steps forward, 4 steps backwards (at least for me). That distortion is terribly grinding on the ears.
CM10.1 will save me! When it is released...
Just FYI, tested with AOSP CM10.1 ROM and the problem is gone. It's definitely a bug that exists in the stock Sense 5 ROM.
I thought I was the only one (no pun) with this issue. It's very annoying. I hope the stock version gets fixed soon.
Anyone with the recent sense updates have any improvement on this front?

I have a Sprint HTC One, but the Bluetooth problem is the only reason I keep going back to ViperROM from CM10.1. My Bluetooth (Jawbone ERA) works fine for music and other media sounds, but phone audio is completely messed up. My speech is not getting picked up at all, and the remote party sounds garbled. I also tried disabling the WiFi per your request, but that had zero effect. I went from a 5/27 nightly to 6/19, but the Bluetooth phone audio issue has remained.

I have a T-Mobile HTC One and same deal... had Dirty Unicorns installed and bluetooth music/etc worked great, but phone calls were just a fuzzy, distorted mess. And since I still use my phone for calls (and rely on a headset for work) it was unusable.
Right now I'm rocking a stock rooted ROM since I haven't found a ROM yet that works well enough to be my daily.
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.

So you know for a fact MeanBean ROM will fix both bluetooth AVRCP profile issue and Wifi tether speeds? Cuz if so, sir, you just made my day!

Mean bean fixes only your #1 issue...
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!

Im running cyanogen mod but my car stereo doesn't have that profile so I can't test for you, plus I haven't been able to drive in a month after a surgery... I remember somebody asking thicklizard about this feature in his arc reactor thread and also in the meanbean thread... Maybe you can pm a kernel developer and see what's involved into getting this feature to work on our phones...

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!

BUt i was just told if I have RUU 3.16 then i have to downgrade to 3.15 because the 3.16 touchscreen drivers are too new and have not been implemented into the kernel in any AOSP ROMs. correct?

Correct, for that you need to be s-off... Backup all of your stuff and head over to the dirty Racun thread or Facepalm...in the original android development section...
