Bluetooth issue CM/AOSP based roms? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Posted the same here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55016957&postcount=334
I have recently been having issues with all new cm based roms that my bluetooth skips and kind of loose signal ...not disconnecting but when I make a call and listen in the other phone that I'm calling with to my device and speak in to the mic some words get muffled?
example: if I say 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 testing testing I can only hear 1 2 - - 5 6 - - - 10 te--ing test--
The sound just disappears from time to time like like a lag or skip from time to time
The headset tested is Plantronics Voyager Legend and Sony Ericsson MW600. The issue started the other people complained that someone of us had bad reception and the audio skipped but neither did and had full bars when looking at the notification bar.
Tested the same headsets on Xperia U and HTC One X and the sound is normal. It affects only the Z ultra C6833.

mmm I was on the latest candyrom when this started.. switched over to naked CM11 and the issue remained. Flashed stock rom .108 nordic and the issue disappeared but I hate stock rom . Flashed the GPE port but my device became slow and when using the 3.5mm plug I always had loud white noise in the background that was disturbing me!.. so I went back to stock .108 and now I'm probably just gonna flash the latest CM11 nightly and stop use bluetooth for a while until this is solved..
Because with stock rom I can't use long press Vol up or Vol down to skip song on Spotify or PlayerPro without the volume being changed on step at the time! If I skip songs like five times I've pretty soon reached max volume and have to lower the volume again ... like wtf?? Both commands executes at the same time ..gaah!
Sometimes I just want to keep things simple but no I am a flashoholic. I need to modify my device to feel satisfied ahahah

Any Problem/Issue with Galaxy S2 so far?

LG Optimus 2x seem to have problem with freeze /shut off problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041546
How about Galaxy S2? Anyone experience problem with it? I'm about to choose either LG 2x or Galaxy S2 right now for my next phone.
Thanks.
I had it 1 month unrooted, just a huge pile of apps installed. It rebooted 2 times by itself and some FC's on a nasty app, but just about it.
The software is very stable. Hardware side: below average audio quality / low volume (headset and speaker)
There aren't other problems noticed on my phone so far
No problems and no low audio either .

No problem here, completely on stock w/ latest kies firmware. Volume is fine here too w/ my headphones.
Low volume. It's a known bug and won't be solved, since it's on samsungs end and they don't care to fix it.
Just google it. You'll change your mind about buying into the sgs2 hype once you realize, like I did, how useless a phone that links media + phone volume to one bar, and has such low volume to begin with (especially if there is ANY ambient noise around you).
I have excellent sound volume other users who have sound problems have found fixes .

i would say the only issues with this phone are (mostly) the people using it....
Guys, I don't know what are you talking about... My speaker/headphones volume is just fine

Ray Headphone Port/Sound Drivers

I got my brand new ray yesterday and ive got Rayonium v7 final flashed... love the phone and rom.
Ive noticed though that the 3.5mm output to headphones/speakers is really quite weak - pretty much HALF that of my last phone (nokia 5800.. 3 years strong )
Ive tweaked both the dspmanager settings and the sound enhancements as much as i can and although i get a slightly better sound the actual volume is still quite weak...
Is this the headphone port, the actual headphones or the rom?
and is there a mod/app/fix/tweak to make it louder without distorting the sound?
Sony make excellent audio visual equipment - all my tvs and stereos are sony but so far it seems a bit crap if this is what the mobile phones provide
Any help would be greatly appreciated
iam using poweramp + music volume eq.
Looks not so bad and bass awesome too. For sure not cowon, but can listen.
Right well i just tried poweramp free trial and the sound is definitely louder BUT i dont want to change player... is there not a mod or something i can do to make the standard player on rayonium louder?
170 views and 1 reply? surely someone else has some input?
change rom or wait for the updated version, dsp not working on the current rayonium.
im using rayonium+n7player (fully unlocked) = music heaven!

Beats By Dre Powerbeats S3 issues

I have the powerbeats by beats by dre
The issue I have is that if I don't have music playing (I use PowerAmp pro) I can make and receive calls fine although the volume button etc doesn't work through the head phones. My biggest issue is that if I have music playing I cannot hear or speak throuh the headset. I need to use the phone. I am running Jellybean, international S3 I9300

The box says iphone and android. Blasted LIARS!!!!
Oh well, that's a $129 down the drain. Didn't sound that much better either if at all...........
The issue with there being so many Android OEM's is that they have different standards for the headset jack and ect. I think that the Powerbeats only work with HTC devices
Yeah this is definately a bummer. The talk control thingy was not working on Some of the old htc devices but a updated kernal fixed that and I had total control talk via handsfree and also skip back forward music etc.
Can this issue with beats headphone just lye with a kernal issue or is it definately headphones compatability issue with s3 . definately not android issue. Buttons issue was fixed due to the p2pjack kernal for desire hd.
I can on listen and control my music through headphones but not able to accept calls or talk.

Here is a funny thing.
I had a custom ROM and I've since flashed to stock. No change
I have a co worker with a stock S3 running 4.1.1 and it works perfect both my beats and her beats. I try it in a Note 2 with custom ROM works perfect. I try it in a Note 2 with stock ROM works perfect. I try it with another stock s# running 4.1.1 doesn't work.........
We're suppose to get in a new batch today, I will try the headsets with that and if it works I will list my device as faulty and swap out.
Every other headset works on my phone except beats.
OK, I think I've narrowed it down. It's a connection issue. I found that if I play with how far in I put the ead set piece into the phone determines whether it works or not. I found that with the piece inserted maybe a millimeter before being completly in it works........
None of the methods work for me. PowerBeats on ATT S3 4.1.1 I hate this so much. They work perfectly on my work phone! Blackberry 9900. Are you kidding me... works on blackberry but not the S3....?
Anyone find a trick or fix? Connections on stock Samsung headset and PowerBeats match up perfectly.

bluetooth sound issues

hello guys
i wanted to ask you if anyone hears the bad bluetooth sound quality from the htc one x+.
maybe i'm just to audiophile, but the sound on (good) bluetooth speakers sound terrible.
i read alot about it and found out a few things:
-i heard the issue is in the so called "bluetooth bitpool setting". manufacturers always this setting to low, so there are no problems with the connectivity, but the sound quality is bad. so the sound quality of the stock rom is really, really bad. i'm talking about listening music. specially the high frequencies are sharp and crashing...it sounds like a very bad mp3 file.
now there are custom rom's with fixed bitpool settings. i tried out a few ones and there is actually just one rom that haven't this bad sound:
cyanogen mod 10. all the oder rom's have this sound problem: cyanogenmod 10.1, android revolution hd 6.2 and stock...
do you know this problem? would love to use more rom's with good sound

I also have this issue when listening to BT audio music in my car. I haven't tried any ROMs yet to compare.
From my brief amount of research it seems to be an issue that only pops up between specific hardware. My phone sounds great in some other cars but not in mine while the HOX and iPhone5 sound great in my car.
Just an update. I am running Elegancia's latest ATT release and it appears to have fixed the problem for now.
Just another update.
It appears audio is perfect upon initial pairing but after disconnecting the audio distortion comes back the next time the phone is automatically paired.
Why would it sound fine the first time you pair a device and then sound different the next time it connects automatically?

If you're experiencing this on the Elegancia ROM, let Steve know about this.

[Q] Hissing Audio Issue

Hi Guys,
I've recently purchased a Moto E XT1021 and am dismayed that it has the same audio hissing issue that some of the LG phones have suffered from. The exact problem is demonstrated on a YouTube video entitled "LG G2 KitKat Audio Issues (hissing noise)".
It appears that LG have acknowledged the problem but I wondered if anyone was aware of an existing or future fix that will work on the Moto E? I've tried the latest stock, CM11 and SlimKat ROMs but the hissing is present on all of them. This is very annoying when listening to soft music like piano pieces.
I don't want to purchase any more headphones because I already own several branded pairs that sound great on my other devices.
I've tried the suggested solutions of turning off DSP effects, using aeroplane mode, using PowerAmp etc. but these don't impact on the hissing.
Cheers.

Interesting, I did not notice this. Also after extended listening with a good headset. Maybe it differs between batches? Ive also got an XT1021.

Thanks for confirming that.
Are you using in-ear headphones? All mine are 16 or 32 ohm and are the ear-canal type. My phone was purchased in the UK.
Also got an UK phone and used a Sure in-ear headphone....
Will double check tomorrow!

Nice one.
I've just located my old Sony MDR-V6 'over-ear' headphones and they have no hiss when connected to my Moto E. However, this doesn't surprise me because I've seen the interesting thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611599, regarding the poor Opamp on the Moto G.
I'm still curious whether this can be 'fixed' with a software patch or if it's purely down to poor audio hardware. It seems pretty lame that a device from 2013/2014 can sound as bad as the old cassette tapes from my childhood.
Wow, there really is quite some hissing when using my Sure headphone
Don't know why I did not notice this before....
My other headphones sound great!
