Guys,
Once again I am turning to you with a problem which is driving me nuts… After several attempts (ROMs and registry settings), I simply cannot get it working. I am using Jabra BT8010 handset and I get complaints from some, but not all, people I talk to over the phone that my voice is skipping. Some fragment of the words (a letter or two) is simply missing - not heard – by my talking partner. This has also happend to me when using official or irus ROM!!
First let me say that after I installed Michy’s R4.1 ROM the things with BT has changed a bit – in positive direction. I noticed that because the Jabra connects to the phone faster then before, when phone is rebooting the BT connection sign is gone immediately, etc. This was not the case with the original ROM nor iruses ROM 0mb PP. At this point I’d would like to thank Michy for that, since the file transfer to and from Athena now works almost flawlessly as well.
Please note that I get no skipping sound in downlink direction: nor during phone call nor during streaming of music or videos - the sound quality is just great!
But the voice skipping is just frustrating. What to do? I have tried twitching several settings in registry: BitPool, MaxBitPool, Sample rate and Use Joint Stereo. But, no combination resulted in no-skipping sound. Is it Jabra? Could you suggest what to do next in order to get this working!!!
PLEASE HELP!

I don't use bluetooth headset myself, but would suggest that you try out the latest R5.1. I find R5.1 to be much better than R4.1 in the data connection, GPS, and WIFI communication, and have no problem in bluetooth file transfer. However, I recommend that you use the latest radio version 1.58.
I find my VOIP experiencing voice quality improvement as compared to R4.1 with radio 1.57.
After trying it, I'd be eager to hear if that helps.
Cheers.
eaglesteve,
Meanwhile I got my hands on Motorola HS810. Guess what: no voice skipping or distortion what so ever!! So is there something wrong with my Jabra or simply the BT or its settings are not matching to Jabra? Someone suggested to delete the Bitpool and MaxBitPool from the registry to get protocol handshake, i.e. the device negotiate for optional parameters…?
I will try R5.1 and report back.
One question though in regards to BT and file transfer since you mentioned it: the feature to make my device visible to other keeps disabling automatically. Once I set it (check) and file transfer (via moBLUe) works, but sometimes - I swear I didn't touch the settings - the file transfer (via moBLUe) does not work. When I check the feature the feature is disabled!?!?! WTF...? I am doing something wrong or...

I had the same problem with my 8010 until I went to radio 1.57 (and then 1.58, although 58 isnt as good as 57 for sound quality and the 8010). Im not using Michy but that shouldnt matter.

Eaglesteve, what solution do you have for VOiP?
weird. i am on michy 4.1 spl 1.2 and radio 1.57, and i think i have the same problem, but only with skype voice calls.
i am using plantronics pulsar 260.
it is so bad that the word "hello" breaks into 3 or 4 fragments.

Using Jabra BT8040 with Athena and another cell phone,
poor performance, ocassional voice breaking and soft.
Just upgrade its firmware and monitoring.
With another simple bluetooth by Motorola H375,
no such issue, voice was clear and loud both ways.
I have tried several settings with radio 1.58 as well as 1.57 and in all cases the voice is distorted with Jabra BT8010 ;(
On the other side, using the Motorola HS810 I expirienced no problems at all at any setting i gave. Eventhough I like Jabra VERY much due to its features I will replace it...
I'm on ROM AP4, you might try that, too.

I have same expertise as you (jabra with some troubles). But if I connect this headset to a blackberry no problems and it is perfect
I have 7500/4.1(3.5) and a BT8010. I have solid connection with my blue tooth.
From your descriptions, it sounds like you have a defective 8010.

This is my second Jabra 8010. I have experienced the same problem with both!
Yesterday, I have flashed Athena to Michy's R5.1. No change.. the voice skipping is still present ;(
I decided and will replace Jabra. I have two candidates: Nokia BH-902 or Motorola SH-7x0. As said Motorola before Motorola SH810 gives very good – no distortion – voice! Will see how the Nokia behaves. Any pros and cons for each???
Thanks guys for your help.

Yes, same effect here, I'm using the Jabra 8010 also and have sometimes the same problem. From my point of view it is a jabra problem, not a ameo / athena nor a ROM problem.
After updating on radio 1.58 I have some problems with the connection to my Pioneer carraudio Sytem (used as a handsfree set) also. So I've decided to go back to 1.50, after that I will update on michyprima and check it....
Kind regards

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but I have learned a great deal from you guys & gals! Hail to all!
I have the same problem with my U1000 & bt8010 under Radio 1.57 & 1.5.
For me, the problem seems less noticeable if I:
1. stand / sit STILL (sigh...)
2. have more ram to the system (no big TODAY plug-ins like spbDiary)
In theory the 8010 is perfect for big dogs like the athena. (gosh i love the phonebook and the music ... even mono makes me happy ...)
Just a simple suggestion but based on what I've read on this last page with you guys changing the radio's and ROM's has anyone decided to update the Jabra BT 8010 Firmware. I've never experienced the problems you guys have it might be a last hope but why not go for it. Firmware found here:
http://uswww03.gnnetcom.com/Myjabra...=/myjabra/bt8010_control_center_na.html#step1
The software is at the bottom of the page, however you will also need to install the program to you computer to actually install the firmware. Follow the directions provied on the link, and feedbacks please.

tootallk2000,
I have been using the FW 1-40-0 for more then a year now and compared to older FWs it does not make a difference

In my post #12 I claimed I had "solid connection with my blue tooth". I spoke too soon. The first time I played music on Pocket Music I got lots of skipping.
This was also a problem discussed at length last year. I did a reg search on "priority256" and found that the decimal number was 131.
I changed it to 256 and NOW I have "solid connection with my blue tooth". I have not had a single skip in 15 minutes of playing music.
OOPS - I just got a 1/2 second skip.
on my post at #6, i also spoke too soon. when i tested skype at our office (faster dsl connection), the voice is smooth, no skipping. i guess it was just an internet connection problem.
I have installed the CM7 rom on my lg p500 however the issue I find is that the FM radio is unberably quiet.
How can I fix this?
Are you using bluetooth? I think It's a known bug that the sound is crappy via BT.
There is a possibillity to search automatically for radio stations ?
With 2.3.4, has anyone noticed bluetooth audio failing after some amount of time? This is happening when I am trying to stream music using my car's bluetooth.
I do, but it was fine until I went to CM7.
Yes I have had problems with Ford Sync and Slacker after Gingerbread. Switching to the .97 radio has helped both with this and dropped calls. I flashed the radio sbf. Be very careful and be sure you know what you are doing. I believe flashing a radio by itself is ok (and I have done it more than once) but many have hard bricked their phones using RSD to flash things after Gingerbread update. (you can find the radio by searching the forums if you want to try)
I have a Unlocked Galaxy S 2 running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.3. Originally the bluetooth audio feature worked with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010) but I had to go into the running application and force close A2DP bluetooth running. I guess this causes a problem with some car units. Anyway I upgraded the phone to 2.3.4 UHKG7 and now the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
SOLVED IT!
Look in this thread I wrote...

Awesome!
Thank You so much, that fixed it. I now can hear music through my car. Couple of small issues I've noticed, the music sounds somewhat static. Also when I'm talking to someone over bluetooth my voice seems to eco in the car as this didn't happen before. I am very happy those are just miner issues I can live with, but if you have any suggestions on tweaking the settings to fix this that would be great. Thanks again!
Ok, I'm glad I could help you with this.
I'm still figuring out how this audio codec has to set correctly .....
I tried searching in all the forums and found no threads regarding this. I'm new to this device so please excuse my lack of knowledge about this device. Pandora is installed and loads just fine. The problem is that when I select a channel to listen to, it shows the album art, indicates it's going to play, but then just jumps to the next song. No audio is heard at all. If I don't interact with the app it will just sit there and cycle through song after song with no audio being heard. I tried with headphones and without with the same issue. I also tried with a bluetooth headphone with the same results.
TuneIn Radio app works fine and the stock music player works fine so I know it's not an hardware audio issue. Is this already a known issue with this device?
I running the stock 2.1-update1 firmware with no Root. Build number is 2.1.1.A06. I bought this used and it appears to have an Asian keyboard, not sure if it's Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or something else.
Anyway, thanks for any insight you can provide!
