So like a lot of people on stock lollipop I am having issues with the Bluetooth. While running any stock rom, any audio coming out of Bluetooth starts cutting out and skipping after about 45 seconds. I don't encounter this issues while running an AOSP rom, but would rather have all the stock features. Is there anything that can possibly be flashed or changed in the stock roms to fix the Bluetooth? I searched and found problems but not definitive answers on if something could be done or not.

Before I say anything, this is the best ROM I've used for any of the devices I've owned. Simply for the fact that I would rather fix it than flash with something else!
Anyway, the problem is my phone no longer works with my car for media streaming through bluetooth. Worked fine prior to flashing with ICScrewd 2.01. It does pair and the phone functions works otherwise.
Is this particular to this ROM or something else? This is a very stripped down build, which is why I liked it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Sarelon
I can add one thing to this, for the first 3 days and 4-6 reboots after upgrading to 2.0.1 (Flashed 2.0, and then the 2.0.1 upgrade later) anytime I would connect my stereo headset (RF-MAB2) the phone app would FC, I would lose phone signal, data, and bluetooth/wifi. They would all come back 30s-1m later, but upon reconnecting the bluetooth headset and hitting play on an audio file it would play, but no audio would come through the headset or the phone speaker. On the other hand my Jawbone Icon connected and worked just fine at all times, no crashing of the phone app or anything else.
One problem though, when I decided to go and capture a log file of it happening .... it ceased to happen, and hasn't happened since, with or without the alogcat running. I'm completely baffled but do hope we can fix this so it doesn't happen in the future.
i think it might be a 2.3.6 issue but i could be wrong. were you on 2.3.4 when it was working?
I experience this same problem with my bt and my alpinew900 rich has tons of bugs anyways...

No kernel support yet for bt hid

no kernel support for bt hid
So are my options non-existent? Will it be supported soon, is there any ROM close to what you built with BT HID support or am I going back to stock?
Again, fantastic work on this ROM.

It's kernel dependent

Hi everyone, I've had my phone for about 5 months now and I've tried a bunch of stock, custom and AOSP roms. And one thing that really bothers me is that every time I'm using a Samsung Rom and I try to stream music to my car's radio using bluetooth, the music will play for 5 to 10 minutes and then it stops. The radio shows I'm connected but it doesn't respond anymore and my phone shows that the music is still playing but I get no sound. But, when I'm using an AOSP rom such as CM or MIUI I never experience such problem. I really like MIUI and CM but I think overall stock is just a better package.
Anyone else having the same issue? This is really annoying! I've searched the forum but no one seems to have the same problem.
No one??? :-(

Why not just use a Rom that works?
I use Criollo v38, no problems at all.

I haven't tested this one, but I used to have Cognition, Lightning and now I'm on CheckRom RevoHd v5 and none of them worked. Does Criollo have anything different regarding the bluetooth?
I recently flashed the Liquid ICS ROM and it is great but I can't stream music through BT anymore. I have tried every radio possible including the leaked combo that everyone said would fix this issue but nothing has worked. I even tried returning to my previous ROM from BAMF and I still can not get the media to stream. I can get phone calls to work with it, just not music. At this point I was hoping to just unroot and get the BT working again but I want to make sure that this will fix my problems. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
I've seen that formatting your system and data and such in EXT3 fixes that issue. I haven't done it myself because it takes me so long to get my phone set up but I believe it was mentioned in the development thread

I am using the music streaming both Google Play and Pandora without any problems.
But I cannot get the BT voice dialing to work with Google Now.

I have just bought a bluetooth speaker (JBL Charge) it usually works fine for a little while wioth my S3, then the connection seems to have issues, the music splutters and sometimes slows down or speeds up. I have tried connecting iphones and my nexus 10 which work fine, so I know its not the speakers.
I am using Omega ROM 45 4.2.2 but also on the 4.1.2 firmware it did the same I have done a full wipe etc.
Do you think a kernal change might solve the issue or would it be ROM related or just a dodgy bluetooth chip?
Has anyone else had issues with bluetooth sound peripherals?
Thanks for your help
Is there anyone who has no issues with Bluetooth streaming?

It might be something with ROM. usually kernel dont create problems with that unless you changed settings in kernel for amplifying the sound in bluetooth. or if you are using third party equalizers. try uninstalling third party equalizers first.
I've been streaming music to my JVC RV-NB90B with no problems.
Using non-rooted Stock 4.1.2 MD3
I'm going backwards on the CM builds until it stops, but based on info from their wiki it doesn't work on any version so I might be wasting my time...
The big question is has anyone got a ROM with stable bluetooth or am I going to be stuck with going back to the AT&T ROM ? I was also hoping someone baked in the power saving menu/settings from the ATT ROM into something else?
What are you connecting over Bluetooth?
Most the 4.3 roms I've tried had little to no problem with Bluetooth. At most I had to reboot once a day to connect my Bluetooth stereo headphones.
Just A2DP profile devices, my vehicle and 2 speakers and a set of headphones. After about 6 connections/disconnects is when it dies, usually after I connect and hit play; there's no audio and shortly after the app pauses and the BT status icon vanishes. Going into the control panel it acts like BT is off and won't turn back on.

BlownFuze's AOKP rom is supposed to be very good on bluetooth. At least that's what I've read in that thread. I'm just not a fan of AOKP so other than flashing it and going through the settings to see if it has what I want I really haven't used it more than a couple of hours at a time.
unless something has changed in the last month it looks like new roms are all going to have this issue. It is my understanding that we dont have teh proper "driver" support for 4.2+. I remember this being an annoying issue seeing how i connect and disconnect from bluetooth min of 6 times a day. 4.1 roms and earlier do not have this issue.
I've never had any bluetooth issues with BlownFuze's AOKP build.
I hate to jinx it but I've been downgrading incrementally using the built in CM tool (no wipes) and on the oldest version its finally stable with BT.

another +1 for the KK version of AOKP.
i'm also not a huge AOKP fan, but it's the only rom i've used with stable bluetooth
edit: patch adams' liquidsmooth has the bluetooth working, but it does seem to die on me from time to time, listing bluetooth as off, and attempts to turn it on are futile. it just switches right back to "bluetooth off"
Padawan (4.1.x) has stable bluetooth
Current CM versions that I tested (Beanstalk and liquid Smooth) crash instantly when my car tries to access messages via BT
PAC Rom is the first kit kat 4.4.3 version that doesn't crash immediately with my car's bluetooth but I LOVED some of the Beanstalk mods.
