Stock Bluetooth stack - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
I am hoping someone can answer a couple of questions for me.
With my S3 ONLY the stock ROM bluetooth works correctly with my inbuilt car system.
ANY ( I have tried many many different ones ) custom ROMS and I have an issue.
The issue is 2 fold. 1 - very very bad distortion, unable to make out any words - this effects voice calls only. 2 - Music play back plays clear but has random micro pauses.
Any custom ROM does the same. Stock 4.1 , 4.2 or 4.3 work perfect.
Can the bluetooth stack from stock be copied to a custom rom? Is is different anyway?
I like SlimRom or CM11 best , if I could get those to work I would be very happy indeed.
Cheers,

[Q] Lite'ning Rom 6.1 XXKH3 - Unable to use 5.1 Channel with headphone in Video

I just bought GS2 10 days ago. I installed Lite'ning rom 6.1. Now when I use earphone & watch any video in video player I am unable to use "5.1 Ch" option.
It says "5.1 channel sound effect only works in earphone mode only." But I have already plugged in earphones and I get good sound too. In original samsung rom I was albe to use 5.1 ch.
Another thing noticed was that I can use 5.1 ch when I play audio only.
Has anyone noticed that ???

I have noticed that too, but I don't have Litening on my phone anymore. I think that's bug in rom?
Is there any way to get it work or any patch available ?

[Q] Notifications while on Bluetooth

Quick question, I've had a search of the forums and not found anything which answers it. So apologies if there is an answer out there which I have missed!
When my phone is connected to bluetooth, all of my notifications are sent to the car speakers.
This is great when I'm listening to music streamed from the phone. But if I've got the phone connected to bluetooth on the chance of incoming calls, but listening to MP3 or FM, then any incoming SMS messages or emails are notified via the car bluetooth headset.
Is there any way to tell the phone to notify both on the handset AND the car when connected to bluetooth???
Thanks in advance.

You must remember that CM9 is in alpha and does not have all the functionality you need. Have you tried any other ICS builds to see if the problem exists there?
Right now, the Sammy ICS ROM's such as Resurrection 9.2 are pretty stable. CM9 has been set back by the availability of drivers.
Cheers!
I'm certain it's not a ROM based issue. I know CM9 is Alpha. Previously I was running MoDaCo Custom Rom on GB.
I think it's the way that all audio is sent to Bluetooth. Hence asking if there is a way around it, via a script or app?

Try a stock ROM.
AOSP ROMs use a different bluetooth stack than stock Samsung ROMs. This is also why most bluetooth controller apps didn't work on stock Samsung ROMs until Dancing Pixel updated the SixAxis app (around October, I think?) with a workaround.
Edit to add: or a stock BASED ROM. If you like AOSP look and feel, with some essential stock bits, check out GingerMod.
Thanks for the reply.
I think it's an inherent issue with all handsets and ROMs. I have a friend using stock, and he still has the same issue.
I guess my post was to understand if there was any way around it (via a hack or app). For instance, my Blackberry alerts on the device itself, but calls and music go through the car headset.

ICS bluetooth A2DP issues CM/Ressurection/?

Hello all,
I know there have been many threads regarding the bluetooth connectivity. However I will make my problem a very specific one.
The problem I have is with ICS being that it doesn't distribute audio properly for players other than - com.android.music-1_4.0.4-eng.jenkins.20120523.231950.apk. This audio player that came out with CM7 and apart from that player no other players output can be heard on my car stereo. That being "Rockford Fosgate 10.1" that comes standard with the suzuki kizashi.
I have reported this problem to the owners of the custom roms but without success. The last successful audio playback was on Criskelo V.38 via PowerAMP and ever since the transition to ICS it simply doesn't work.
Now I have bought PowerAMP and max @ poweramp has been very helpful with answering my questions and what he has to say is that it is the rom/kernel that distributes the sound via the bluetooth channels and not the player itself, which sounds reasonable.
However, The only thing that is stuck in my head is how come one player works fine whilst none of the others work? if the admins permiss and if someone would like to try it I can upload the apk stated above as it is the only way I can get the output to work.
I tried using the apk with Jellybean update but i think its non compliant, so my hopes are diminishing with the advancement of platforms.
Since it is an issue that I cannot resolve except the patchwork I have done by using the same apk for all roms, I would like some help from the champions out there who can resolve the issue. I can upload logs/whatever info you like.
Thanks in advance and please feel free to ask any questions that you may have.
P.S: Great work to all the people involved in releasing custom roms and XDA

Hello there,
Now I'm not a beats user however I looked at some pictures. If the volume buttons are touch sensitive then this could be the problem.
Or since it worked on the iPhone, it maybe compatibility issues. If it does not work on a stock rom (Galaxy S4) then try installing a custom rom. Some custom roms have special audio drivers that MAY make it work.
If I helped, hit the thanks button!

Tried more than 10 custom rom, from aosp to sense to cm aokp and other, but no one make it work
This is an issue with headphones made for an iPhone. They use a different band layout. Mine have never worked and won't. After hours troubleshooting it, this was the answer I got from beats and apple

Try re-downloading the rom. (might have corrupt file)
Try wiping the system 3 times in recovery before installing fresh rom download.
If problem still occurs, notify the roms thread and try a different one.
No one can really tell you what's "better" since there's sooooo many variables you like compared to what others prefer. Try a different one based on the same android version or higher.
