Anyone ever have connectivity/inconsistent connectivity with Bluetooth on the Vibrant?
I never use it, but another XDA user mentioned they were having issues.
If you have had issues, what suggestions can you make?
The only connection problem I have ever experienced is sometimes with my phone, it will connect --- disconnect ---then connect when I first turn on my car (Infiniti m35) but it does that all in a matter of 5-7 seconds then it never has issues after that. Bluetooth is remarkable on this phone....... wish the GPS was as good. Running latest Bi-winning now
Me and my wife have both had the same issue with a paired device not connecting and you have to turn Bluetooth off and then back on and all is well. Doesn't happen often but can be a little annoying when it does. By the way my wife's vibrant is completely stock and I'm on cm7.

I quit reading when I saw m35. Love that car. Oka, want to hire a NC boy for cheaps? ha.
I use Jawbone Era and it randomly disconnects even when phone is in my pocket and bluetooth in ear. It reconnects a few times but mostly I have to turn the headset off/on to reconnect. Froyo 2.2.1 is better with Bluetooth than 2.2.0
It might be the headset though, our phonen is one of the FEW devices that has Bluetooth 3.0
Even the new LG G2X has 2.1 and not 3.0
I use bluetooth headset regularly on bionix 1.3.1. No disconnections, but the signal strength seems week as there is lot of distortion if the phone is in my pocket. So I have to always hold phone in my hand.

The issues I have (no matter what ROM I use) are Connect - Disconnect - Connect and then the stack is hosed. Have to reboot the machine to get Bluetooth to reconnect (Using Motorola H117). Also, can't figure out the exact pattern, but if I get a notification while bluetooth is on I turn it off and no more notification sounds... or ringing... or anything. I have to reboot to get sounds back.
I connect to my car stereo and sometimes I hear skipping. With my plantronics headset sometimes the signal gets weak if the phone is in my pocket

It is a weak signal in the phone. I have had several phone over the years and my old nokia flip phone was the only one that could do more then 3 feet without issues. My HTC kieser, HTC Shadow, N1 and my current SGS all have issues with my BT headset if the phone is in my pocket on the opposite side of my body from the headset. My old Nokia would let me use the same headset a room away so go figure.
One thing I have noticed is I if I try and transfere a file to any phone(other then the nokia) the file transfere always fails. It works to and from a PC but not to another phone of any kind(except the nokia).... very odd.
my bluetooth has been inconsistantly connecting since I started using 2.2.1 ROMs. it always worked fine previous to that on all the 2.2 ROMs I used.

After turning bluetooth off on my phone or turning off my headset once or twice I frequently lose all sounds as well. Glad i'm not the only one.
I have the problem of sound not switching back to the speaker if I turn off either the headset or Bluetooth on the device.
How does Samsung screw something as simple as this up and it not be fixed after 4 official updates?
Nothing about Samsung's top notch screen is worth dealing with the headaches that come with their software. I'm trying to wait for the second generation dual core devices but, if I see good reviews on the Sensation, I am jumping off the Samsung emotional rollercoaster.

I have been back and forth with Samsung over the past 6 days attempting to troubleshoot this.
I have used a Motorola H117 and a Rocket Fish Stereo Headset that I have used with the phone. The following *almost* replicates the sound system crash every time.
1. Turn on Bluetooth headset
2. Press button
3. Voice Dial a contact
4. Phone conversation for 25 - 30 minutes
5. Disconnect phone conversation
6. Bluetooth remains connected for another 20 - 30 minutes
7. Turn off Bluetooth headset... no more sounds from phone.
Nothing fixes it short of a reboot of the phone.
I am running STOCK 2.2 KB5 right now. Factory Reset, No root, on the 5th Phone replacement from T-Mobile. I have an open case with 2nd Level support with Samsung however they have given me every excuse from "It's your headset" to "We don't replace phones". I have not asked for a phone replacement and I am earnestly trying to troubleshoot this problem with them.
If anyone has any additional information, please add it to this thread. I have passed the URL for this thread on to Samsung (I do not know if they will bother with hitting it) but I am cross posting at the T-Mobile forums as well as publishing on Twitter.
My only issue is that I have to manually connect bluetooth every time I get in the car. I don't know if this is a problem with my phone or with the bt-fm transmitter our both. otherwise, once I'm connected, music plays great.

I have the same problem. I found an alternative to rebooting your phone to hear your sound again. Just play a visual voice mail message and hit the speakerphone button in the UI. Your sound will return. You can also play a google voicemail message and hit the speakerphone. It's not a fix but it will keep you rom rebooting your phone several times a day.
I use 2 Bluetooth devices on my phone.
Sony bluetooth headset:
Skips a lot, depending on what I have running. It's worse the more apps I have. To get the best performance, I usually need to end task everything that's running, clear all RAM, then run the music app again. I use the stock music app. I have had better performance out of several ROM's. I think it might be tied to the kernal used, depending on how much space is left (i.e. Bullet's 339mb kernal that I'm using with Simply Honey). Almost like there's a buffer issue.
Kenwood headunit:
I only use the bluetooth connection for handsfree while I'm driving. The only issue I've encountered is that the bluetooth connection is not always automatically restored everytime I get in my truck. If I go into Wireless and Network>Bluetooth, I can get the connection working again. It seems to always be a phone issue, not the headunit.
If you want a beta tester for something, let me know. I use both the headphones and headunit quite frequently.
We just got a '12 Honda Odyssey.
My Sensation works perfectly with the car's bluetooth but the wife's Vibrant is crap for connecting. Very disappointing. Came here hoping rooting her phone and installing CM7 would fix the problem, but that appears to not be the case.
Shame.
No more Samsung phones for us....
I use trigger 8/22 and the Bluetooth works better than ever. Stock gave me head aches

+1 for Vibrant bluetooth problems. I have a garmin nuvi in my car and sometimes it works, sometimes I get the connect-disconnect-connect, and sometimes it doesn't even try to connect.
I've tried stock, bionix 1.2, 1.3.1, and NextGen 2 and only bionix 1.2 seemed to work reliably.
When it works it is fine.
When it does the connect-disconnect-connect thing it sometimes works for phone calls be most often the audio is going through my handset even though the phone claims a BT connection has been made.
Finally in the case where the BT stack is so f'ed up that it doesn't even try to connect it seems like there's some serious battery drain that doesn't show up on the battery stats screen. I suspect the BT is stuck in some kind of loop that causes it to fail and burn lots of power.
The inconsistency is probably the most aggravating part of the whole thing...
So, I'm having a strange issue with my new Note that I can't quite determine where the root cause may be, or if it's a known issue.
If I register my Note with my car as both a phone and an audio device (how the Infiniti nav/stereo works) I can use the Note as a phone fine UNLESS I start an audio app, such as Pandora. Once a2dp audio starts the Note will no longer connect as a phone device, but it works fine for audio.
I had the phone paired with the stock ATT rom but only used it as a phone, so unfortunately, without a restore to stock, I can't tell if the problem exists with the stock rom.
I flashed to flappjaxxx's rom (which I love) the same day I setup the phone to run Pandora via Bluetooth and that's when I started seeing the problem.
I also see some random connect/reconnects that seem a bit more than usual.
So, I can't say there's a correlation, or if this is a known ICS beta issue or what, but I'm hoping it is and that it's not a design flaw
Way I see it it's either:
1. Flashing to any ICS beta rom has the problem, currently?
2. It's in flappjaxxx's build (doubtful)
3. It's user error...(possible )
4. It's an app issue (ie. Pandora is causing the problem?)
Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or insights? I've done some searching but haven't found this exact issue yet on any posts.
Thanks!
I have a Kenwood DNX9960 in my Avalanche. It connects also for phone and for streaming media. I can be streaming media from either the stock music player or an internet site like pandora or TuneIn and my calls will automatically come through. When the call ends it goes right back to streaming.
It autoconnects to both as long as my phone is in range when I turn on the kenwood. I did have an issue at first where it would not autoconnect. I deleted the pairing from both my phone and headunit. Then when I repaired I paid close attention to check any boxes to "Always" allow connection and I haven't had any issues since.
I understand the normal pairing process, I've had several phones before that worked fine prior to the Note. So, I'm thinking that it is probably a corrupt bluetooth db... I'm going to be reflashing to Flaps new rom and we'll see how that does
Is there a way to delete the pairing from the nav? I would try that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
There is. I've tried it all, on both sides of the pairing.
I've reflashed the phone to the B6 from FJ, still no joy. The pairing db was new (so no chance of corruption on the phone) and the pairing deleted on the device.
It seems to be a problem with the phone switching between a2dp and phone bt. When a call comes in (while playing say Pandora over bt) the audio cuts out and then the car shows "disconnected" and then "connection failed" if trying to reconnect to the Note as a phone (ie hitting the phone button in the car).
I'm hoping it's the current ICS build. Just have no way to really know. Hoping some other folks will have seen the same issue.
Going to run some tests with different audio sources and see if the behavior is the same.
Well things seem to be working now, for no obvious reason I'll have to assume that the reflash resolved the issue, I just can't tell for sure why it didn't work immediately after. I think it's due to deleting the old pairing on the car and not shutting down the vehicle.
Cheers.
BT connections
I have similar problem connecting to van audio system (vauxhall). After some experimentation it appears to be an ICS problem, if I reflash my note with gingerbread I have seamless connections for both audio and phone. As soon as I upgrade even with offical ICS bluetooth connections become problematic, I can pair but not autoconnect. Tried samsung and they just "fob off" with it's an incompatable device. Until a bug fix is issued it appears as though it's a choic of staying with gingerbread and have a working system or ICS and no handsfree.
Hello,
I am having a problem where Touchwiz crashes after about half an hour to an hour of listening to Bluetooth audio through my car stereo.
The problem does not occur with the stock music player (or hasn't yet in the timeframes I've been testing it). However it occurs with pretty much any other player I've tried (thus far PlayerPro, Poweramp, and Audible). The symptoms are pretty much always the same. Audio works perfectly for quite a while, then it stops, phone kind of freezes for a couple of seconds, then Touchwiz resets. Often after it restarts I have trouble either connecting to or playing audio through Bluetooth. Sometimes that fixes itself, sometimes I have to do a full reboot.
I have had the device replaced in case it was a Bluetooth hardware issue but I'm having the same issue on the new handset. So far the issue is 100% reproducible.
It's an unrooted, stock phone running IMM76D.I9300XXALF2. I'm on Three UK. At this stage I am not planning to root the device. However if there was a clear reason why doing so might fix this issue then I might.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
If someone has time to have a look, I have managed to record an ADB log from the crash. I believe the crash happens at 20:29:36 - based on there being a lot of information about a Fatal Signal 11 at that point (although I did think that was just related to specific apps crashing), and then all the services die very soon after.
At some point, I will try with another Bluetooth stereo to see if it's specific to my current one. But I don't have any available, so was hoping someone might be able to help narrow things down in the meantime.
I've also gone to Samsung with the issue, and sent them the log, but who knows if they'll ever get back with anything useful.
Touchwiz crash with Bluetooth
Hi.
I have the same problem with an S2 LTE (not S3) from Rogers in Canada and a JVC radio except mine crashes after 30 minutes. It worked fine before upgrading from 2.3 to 4.0.4.
Model SGH-I727R
Version 4.0.4
Baseband version: I727RUXLF3
Kernel 3.0.8-perf-I727RUXLF3-CL611724 [email protected] #1. Compiled Sat Jun 9, 21:24:26 KST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.RUXLF3
When playing a podcast (BeyondPod) or audiobook (Audible) for 30 minutes, the phone freezes and a few seconds later the screen locks and all the status icons disappear. They all come back as if the phone just booted but it's not the long boot you would get if you powered off and on so it must be Touchwiz crashing. I also see a notice saying it's safe to remove my SDCard and then it re-mounts.
For me it is 30 minutes +/- 1 minute and it's consistent. If I shut off Bluetooth and immediately turn it back on after 25 minutes, I will have another 30 minutes without any problems.
I tried manually unmounting the SDCard while streaming over Bluetooth and it gracefully shut down the application and unmounted the card without any issues.
Others have had this issue too. Google for 'Issue 28006: ICS Bluetooth and Sony car headset'
I contacted Samsung support but so far they haven't helped. Their first response was to take it back to the carrier.
Have you find a solution for this? If not can you submit a support request with Samsung? If they get enough reports maybe they'll do something.

That's quite interesting. Mine is also a JVC stereo so I wonder if that's related. Mine could be exactly 30 minutes - I've not actually checked that. I will next time.
Out of interest, have you used PowerAmp before? The log I attached is from using PowerAmp, but since a recent update it actually seems to be fixed in that! But it still happens in Audible and other audio apps. I'd be interested to see if it works for you as well.
Samsung haven't been particularly helpful, other than saying they will look at the ADB log and release an update (for the SIII) if "it turns out to be a real issue" (which annoyed be, because it obviously is a real issue).
The Audible developers on the other hand are very interested and I have provided them quite a bit of info on the problem. I will pass them this thread too. I should try out the shutting off Bluetooth thing as a work around. Surprised I hadn't until now.
I haven't used PowerAmp but I did try the stock Android music player and it also crashed. I played a one hour podcast and after around 35 minutes it crashed as usual. At first I thought it was going to keep working as it's usually right around 30 minutes but it did eventually crash.
Did you report the problem to the PowerAmp author or was it just luck that the new version had a fix for it?
Samsung sent me an RMA shipping label. I have no plans on sending back my device for a software bug only to get back someone else's defective/fixed unit back with the same bug.
If this really is a bug in Touchwiz on ICS then we should ask others to test it in a general forum. I don't think this happens when playing music, only when playing one stream over 30 minutes. We need to find more people with a Samsung, ICS and bluetooth receiver to test..
That's very interesting information. I will try a single audio stream on the stock player and power amp. But it does happen for me with multiple streams in other apps (PlayerPro for example), but it could be related to how it plays them - perhaps it combines them into a single stream.
In fact, thinking about it, it could well be that. I don't think the previous version of PowerAmp showed the song title over Bluetooth, so it may have just combined multiple songs into a single stream as far as the Bluetooth stack was concerned. But now it does, so that might break the stream each song.
And I had not informed them about it, it was just luck. And they haven't responded to my queries regarding what they changed (which of course, may not matter).
I have already replaced mine (through Amazon), and of course the problem didn't change at all. Meaning it's the software (and perhaps the specific Bluetooth devices), not the individual phone.
I am going to test mine with a different Bluetooth receiver at some point, and might also get other people to try their phone with my stereo. According to the person I've been in contact with at Audible, it is only affecting Verizon customers in the US (that they know of), and haven't been able to reproduce it themselves.
Trying to determine if this is a software bug or a hardware problem. Looking for some additional people to test and verify.
ISSUE:
While listening to music, I hear a periodic, short duration, low-volume burst of static. This only happens when WiFi is on but not connected (searching for network to join). This also only happens with headphones (at least I have not been able to hear it over bluetooth).
NOTES:
I have tried both the HTC stock music app to listen to music stored on the external SD card and Google Play Music to stream data from the cloud.
The period of the noise is 15 seconds when on a Jelly Bean ROM (I have tried both MeanBean and xHausx's stock ROM. When I was on MeanROM ICS, the period appeared to be 17 seconds.
The duration of the noise is 1/4 second or less.
The volume of the noise is very low. I recommend trying to reproduce the problem with very quiet music.
Wifi must be on and scanning to hear the noise. With Jelly Bean, the WiFi scanning interval appears to be 15 seconds (I did not check the scanning interval when on ICS). I recommend not being near a network that you can connect to when testing this.
I am S-OFF with the original LazyPanda HBOOT (1.12.2222) with the latest firmware installed from xHausx's thread.
BACKGROUND:
Here are some posts where this issue has been discussed in other threads:
JustinChase's first post regarding the issue in the MeanROM ICS Thread
Follow up later in the thread: #1, #2
Continuing discussion in MeanBean thread​
Thanks in advance for any testing you can do!
I have the same exact problem even connected to WiFi. As long as I have WiFi turned on I can reproduce the static noises you speak of on both stock rooted 4.1 and meanbean roms. S-off also :/
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I also have the issue, but only when wifi is turned on, but not connected to a network. If I have no network remembered (nothing for it to try to connect to), I don't hear the problem then.
The noise is a static, crackling noise, which sounds like 'machine noise' that I also hear when I'm listening to my desktop computer with headphones thru the crappy motherboard connections. On the desktop, whenever I move the mouse wheel, or put the system under load, I hear 'machine noise' thru the headphones, likely related to poorly designed/shielded onboard audio.
This makes me think if might be hardware related, but the fact that it only happens when wifi is trying to connect to a remembered network makes me think it's software related.
The noise is always the same volume, which isn't very loud. If you listen to your music at 1/2 or higher volume, you will likely not hear it, but if you listen at about 1/4 volume, or lower, it's a pretty loud and very annoying noise. I almost always hear it at the end of a song, but hear it throughout songs also.
I'm s-off, so don't really want to go complaining to Sprint about it yet, but since it seems only a few other people have reported the same issue, I suspect it might by phone specific.
I would really appreciate anyone/everyone testing this and providing feedback, even if it's 'I don't hear this, you're crazy', at least I'd know
To test, make sure that you have a wifi network remembered on the phone, go to a place where wifi cannot connect to the network (or any other network), then play music with the stock music app (the red musical note icon), make sure the volume is less than 1/3 and you should hear this noise within a minute or 2. Some have reported every 15 seconds, but I'm not sure I hear it quite that often. If you make it thru 2 songs with no noise, you probably don't suffer.
Thanks, looking forward to some feedback
Hmm... Very odd. I might have a little input or it may be completely unrelated.
Are you guys with this issue using PowerAmp music player (i use that, it is AMAZING).
Anyway, I noticed that while using any global beats addins, I usually get a weird staticky noise through my headphones... BUT, this only happens while playing a song and another sound comes up. In example, I am playing an MP3, and I get a text message, or a low battery warning. When the other sounds come into play, it disrupts the music playing, and the notification doesn't even make its sound; just the static interruption where the sound WOULD have been. A fix for this, is to enable [maybe disable? not sure which is the default setting, but just uncheck/check depending if its on or not] the Direct Volume Control option. Doing this allows me to hear the other sounds while playing the music with no interruption.
Now, to get on board with the OP who has this problem on WiFi only. Perhaps it is the same scenario as myself. Maybe your WiFi is giving some sort of SU notice from the makesh that the WiFi mod asks root for.
Sorry if it sounds a bit confusing... But hope it helps!
EDIT: After reading some posts above, I see the problem comes in even with the stock music player. Idk, I still think it has something to do with MusicBox/DSPManager/Volume+ and the WiFi SU notices

That could be a bad port... Or it may be an IRQ problem If you feel comfortable playing with your BIOS on the PC, look into your IRQ settings
Some new info:
I clean installed MeanBean 0.6, connected to my home WiFi, then went to work this morning. Now that I'm at work (and not connected to my home network), the period of the noise is back at 17 seconds. I went to the WiFi settings and deleted my home network settings. Now the noise is at 15 second intervals. The volume of the noise also seems quieter.
I connected to my work's WiFi (they are finally letting "non-corporate controlled devices" connect to the network) and the noise is gone.
I'll have to wait until after work to retest the interval with a remembered network present.
Yesterday, when testing with a stock ROM, I only tested when I had never connected to a network before. So the period may not be ROM or OS version specific.

I don't see the makesh app looking for root when on a Jelly Bean ROM (it doesn't show up in the SuperSU logs either). I wonder if HTC changed that in the 3.15 update.

Where might I find this setting you refer to? As you noticed (after you wrote this), I'm only using the stock music application, and can't find this setting anywere. I suspect it's in the PowerAmp player, but wanted to verify, so that I can try adjusting it. FWIW, I do hear the quiet notification noise while the music is playing (which used to stop the music on ICS - this is MUCH better).

I'd like to 'fix' this issue also, but it's been a LONG time since I've worried about IRQ issues. Windows 7 (and XP?) deals with IRQ issues well, so I haven't seen any conflicts in years. What in the BIOS might I be looking for, and how might I adjust it to try to eliminate this issue? I'm plenty comfortable in the BIOS, but the only IRQ settings I remember are related to forcing it to use a specific IRQ, but wouldn't know what to try changing for positive effect.
I'm plugging into the front audio port of the machine, which connects to the motherboard via a HD audio connector (if I remember correctly). I believe I have the same noise issue when connecting to the audio out on the back of the machine, which is directly connected/part of the motherboard. In fact, I've heard these 'machine noises' on all of my machines for years, so just always assumed it was a symptom of the lower quality audio connections. However, I'd LOVE to eliminate this issue also, if possible.
Sorry for the off topic
This sounds like it's just poor shielding somewhere. I believe the wifi antenna is near the headphone jack so it's probably causing some interference there.
Exactly Haus. Try different headphones or speakers. You could for your headphones get THIS then run a couple of wraps around it through the center near the phone jack, and see if that helps. For speakers the signal could be coming in from many places (power input, signal input, with in audio amp, or the speakers themselves. Now if the sound is coming from the speaker inside the phone.. Well you have much bigger problems than a ROM.
I have the static issue when streaming over Bluetooth with the screen on, wifi on or off, on both stock and custom roms. Turn the screen off, no static. Also, Bluetooth disconnects at random if I leave the screen on and will not reconnect until I unpair and repair with my stereo.
It has to be an issue with jb, as I've never had this issue until the update. Fwiw I'm thinking connections optimizer (on or off) has a hand in this issue.
Think I'm having this too
I was noticing this today on wifi. It would make a crrrik like a cog sound every so often, at first i thought it was the song, then when it did it on the next two I found this thread. It was not just 1x 2x per song it was almost on beat at times. I heard it probably 30 times in 30 second song. Another thought was some file/notification was making the sound in the background.
Turning wifi off so far has resolved problem. It was really annoying. I don't think its an antennae issue since its the same noise each time exactly (including duration) about a .25sec noise. Thinking of antennae interference its usually a scratchy sound that is intermittent duration some long some short etc.
It was extremely unbearable as I listen to the lowest setting on the phone with beats off.
I've been having problems with my car's parrot (mki9100) bluetooth. My Redmi Note 2 seems to pair fine with it, but then it just keeps connecting and disconnecting every few seconds. It doesn't share contacts, it doesn't work for calls and it doesn't work for a2dp. I've disabled permission management but the issue persists. I don't seem to be an isolated case as there are people complaining about this on MIUI's forums. I'm running 6.7.5 from en.miui.com.
I've tried the usual stuff, clearing cache/dalvik, even reinstalling the rom; nothing helped.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

I've been having problems with my car's parrot (mki9100) bluetooth. My Redmi Note 2 seems to pair fine with it, but then it just keeps connecting and disconnecting every few seconds. It doesn't share contacts, it doesn't work for calls and it doesn't work for a2dp. I've disabled permission management but the issue persists.

I was just about to start a thread myself then I saw your post.
Sadly I'm having trouble too. In my case stereo Bluetooth A2DP is awful. I'm constantly having skips and stutters on both devices I have tested so far (a Samsung HS3000 and a Logitech Boombox). I'm currently using the MIUI dev ROM from September 11th. If you're using MIUI 6 then clearly the problem spans numerous ROMs. Poop.
My problems happen regardless of whether or not I'm doing anything else on the device. It also doesn't seem to matter whether or not WiFi or data are enabled.
As a kind of aside, I also can't get my Moga Pro to connect in Mode A. It appears to pair OK but then just won't connect. Searching around for answers, this also something that at least the MiPad suffers from too (since last year!). Looks like Xiaomi has Bluetooth issues full stop.
I like this device, but some of its quirks of both hardware and software are making it more and more likely to end up on an auction site.
I can't wait for a more stock-like rom to be out.
This might be of help to someone: Someone suggested replacing the bluetooth app from /system/data with an older one (needs root).
I wasn't successful in replacing the app. Instructions here:

Thanks for the link.
I tried it too on the developer ROM. It doesn't work (it breaks Bluetooth completely).
A2DP doesn't seem to stutter with music for me after the 17th/18th update. I've only tried a few songs. It's possible that the actual bitrate has decreased though. Apart from the stutters I'm sure it sounded better before. Maybe I'm imagining it.
Briefly tested 6.7.7 and it seems to work! Contacts synced for the first time, A2DP and calls worked. I'll let you know on the audio quality as soon as I have the chance to listen for a longer period of time.
