Just found a really annoying issue with my (and everyone elses?) Hero... if someone wants to confirm this for me I'd really appreciate it...
I'm using Modaco 2.0 and I used EncoderHD to encode some videos to watch on the bus to work... The conversion went great and a quick glance before I took off this morning showed a wonderful, smooth playback with no issues whatsoever...
On the bus, I get as comfortable as one could get on a bus, flick on the Hero, start the "Album" and select my video... only to experience about 2-3 seconds of Audio/Video sync issues... what????
It didn't take much testing to figure out that everything works great with the speakers and wired headsets but when I connect my bluetooth stereo headset (I have the Samsung WEP870 and the SE HBH-IS800) the sync issues start...
Has anyone else experienced this or similair issues? Is there a solution? If not, do we think it's a solvable issue ( I don't have this issue on my Touch HD, but then again, the playback is far from being as smooth...)
Feedback?

I guess no one else is experiencing this? Should I try changing some settings? It would be good to know if this IS due to Wireless Stereo or something else so I would really appreciate if anyone else is having the same issues or if I am alone...

Well this issue is "normal" and happens on other phone too.
Since the SBC encoding time for the phone can vary and the decoding time for the headset is also variable for every brand.
Sony ericsson did things properly if you use your IS800 with any SE phones there won't be any sync issues.
(this happend on the touch HD too. But if you used core player you can adjust audio /video delay to fix this)
Hmmmm.... sounds logic... although it surprised me to notice that when I test the exact
same video in Windows Media Player on the HD and the same headset there is no delay... but from your response that this would be possible and "normal"?

Hello,i want to change my wired earphones to wireless ones, so ive been searching for a bluetooth headphone that would be good not only to listen music but also good at watching movies and i couldnt find any that dosnt have few secs off delay . So anyone knows any bluetooth headphones without the delay?
I've got some dell BH200 bluetooth headphones. They work great; no delay at all.
LOL delay! a Few seconds! Who the hell would buy them?
I been using the much whined about S9(9) motorolla stereo bluetooth headset for almost a year. Got a call in to radio shack now to replace them, (volume is all that dont work- dont leave them in your glove box in 140 degree heat lolz!!)
Ive never experienced any sort of (noticeable) delay with my bluetooth, i use them for everything. Movies of all different formats even.
Im not sure if your implying that after reading the specs you think theres seconds worth the delay, or youve personally experienced it. But This kid never has.
We're talking milli-seconds not full seconds.
Do it the right way like i did, and turn in your 120 dollar receipt at work.

A2DP is designed to have no delay, so no A2DP set should have one... I have one set of BT headphones, an adapter plugged on my hifi set, and a 3rd one on portable speakers, and none have a delay. I'm also using A2DP between my laptop and desktop PC (so that the sound of the laptop goes out on the 5.1 set connected to the desktop) and there's no delay either.
So if you did experience delay, you must have stumbled upon THE rare crappy model.
Did you check the video for delay?

Some video if not properly encoded the audio will be out of sync and will get worse as it progresses into the video. You should compare the same video with the wired and wireless to verify the delay.

is it just me??
there aren't that many reports of this issue on the net. it was briefly mentioned on one of the reviews and that was it.
anyway, on higher bitrate mp3 playback, bluetooth headset audio stutters and skips a lot, even if the device is held very very close.
wifi was not running, 3g data was not on.
if you guys think the issue I posted on google Android's bug site is relevant, then please vote.

Desire as well?? wow..
i think perhaps ill try disabling the HTC Sense or something
just dont understand why no one's been complaining
whats the x10 like by the way...it looks really nice but someone somewhere said SE's skin is slow?
how much battery life do you get out of it?
I do have trouble using just a plain headset. I only get about 30cm range before the audio begin to stutter.
I've tried with two different Sony Ericsson headsets (HBH-PV710, HBH-610a) and a TomTom Go930.
Is it a software issue or hardware related? Repair?

am guessing it's hardware...
but perhaps it can still be helped by modifications in software
basically im still getting the same issues with a custom ROM
Got the phone replaced with a brand new, still the same problem.
Audio in headset is really bad, but in the other end they can hear me loud and clear.
Could it be poor output power from the Bluetooth transmitter in the phone,
while reception is good?
I've restored it to factory settings, and had WiFi disabled.
I've got the same problems on my Legend.
Both A2D2-profile and standard audio for talking.
No more than 80-90 cm before the static and noice occurs.
My colleague here at the mobile-store had the same problems on Hero, and now on his currently X10..
So to me this seems as an Android problem overall, but I can't tell for sure..
My Legend is my first Android handset, and I like it..
I only wish these blutoothproblems hadn't been here.. Should have been just the same as on my beloved Sony Ericsson handsets..
Got a new headset a Nokia BH-602 and the audio is a lot better, not perfect but at least I can hear every word said.
It's quite strange that SE HBH-PV710 and HBH-610a including TomTom Go930 just didn't work.
I'm just curious what qualification Android or Bluez did meet to certify for the Bluetooth standard.
Sorry to bump an old thread...
But just wanted to add I have the exact same issue, the bluetooth range is not very far at all, however it is a lot better then 30-60cm.. i'm able to go for about 2-4 meters with line of sight.
So i guess its usable as long as the phone is in my pocket which is fine.. just wish it was a little better like my previous phones where I can just leave it charging and walk around the house.
Bluetooth support is pretty atrocious on this HTC Legend.
Never had any problems streaming audio or using any of my previous devices with my car stereo for handsfree.
But this Legend is pants! - It won't work with Bluetooth Audio streaming at all - I just get static and some wierd clicking noises (using 2.03 latest official ROM) and handsfree connects ok - but then drops half way through a call causing me to lose my call at the time.
Any resolves for these bluetooth woes?
thanks in advance.
PS - Using it with my Pioneer FH-P80BT
I use my Legend with a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones. I have no stutter with bluetooth stereo (except minor cuts when browsing some intensive websites or typing fast in landscape mode). My headset works well even with the phone in my pocket (although it skips momentarily if I turn my head right or if my hand touches the bluetooth transmitter near the camera lens).
Perhaps some of the reported problems are caused by some background process using CPU cycles with high priority?
Incidentally, I highly recommend these headphones - bluetooth playback is of identical quality to wired playback. I don't know how Sennhesier have acomplished this feat but every other brand of bluetooth headphones I have used before have had intolerable reproduction of high frequency sounds.
I am having this problem as well...streaming music from my T-Mobile Vibrant to my radio via bluetooth. The radio is bluetooth 2.1 compatible and the Vibrant is supposedly Bluetooth 3.0.
I used to have a Mytouch 3G running Android 1.6 and I do not remember having this problem.
Same problem here !
am using Legend, and "Jwin Stereo bluetooth" headphones that needs "A2DP" to work, and its working clear but there is some silly cuts while listening mp3's and its disturbing me, i cant ignore these cuts coz are alot !
Please tell us if there is any way to solve it ...
Thanks..
Hello peeps,
I wonder if any of you folks with an HD2, use it with Bluetooth A2DP and satnav?
My predicament is this...
I am a motorcyclist, and occasionally listen to music from my HD2 via a Bluetooth A2DP helmet. It works great, with good sound quality and no skipping of music tracks using Manilla Music Player.
I also have Garmin Mobile XT, which I often use in the car, and the voice prompts and directions work great through the HD2 internal speaker.
However, if I want to use Garmin Mobile XT with my BT Helmet, it works OK, with the exception that audio coming from Mobile XT seems clipped right at the beginning. For example, the instruction:
"Drive 3.4 miles, then keep left." - which is how it would sound through the internal speaker...
...will more often than not sound like...
".(point) 4 miles, then keep left." - when heard through the helmet.
As you can imagine, it would be quite dangerous to have to keep looking at the screen to confirm instructions, and you can believe how confusing this is when actually on the road and relying on voice direction only.
I have searched thorugh all of the HD2 forums for the tags 'bluetooth' and 'audio', found some similar issues that peeps were having with music player playback stuttering and the like, and tried some of the remedies offered by other forum dweller (like the increase file cache, line rate, etc), but to no avail.
As a computer professional, I am inclined to say that the symptons seem like a buffering or issue. But obviously, I am not a cellualr expert, so I will leave the really diagnosis for the pro's here ;-P
Perhaps one other lucky HD2 owner will have experienced (and hopefully had solved) a similar issue (perhaps not with the BT helmet tho ;-P).
Thanks for taking the time to read my post, and I'd greatly appreciate any feedback anyone has to offer.
Rgds,
drkmtr
Me Too!
I'm using a Samsung SBH-650 Bluetooth Stereo Headset, and I get exactly the same thing! I've no idea about a solution, but at least you know you're not alone.
I have the same with Jabra BT530. No reaction from HTC, no solution here.
i saw once a thread about a similar problem.
there they wrote that the bt-chipset which is used by htc for the hd2 is a Broadcomchip. They told, that there are some differences between the os and the chip and something about the problem, that it switches to standby mode too early or something like this.
this could be the issue. your phone turns the chip too early in standby mode and you cant hear the whole sentence cause it needs time to turn it on again.
sorry mate, im not having a solution, but thats something i read. maybe it helps.

Bluetooth is a slow (imagine RS-232) comms protocol that was designed primarily for local audio connection. EDR (Ehanced data rate) was brought on for high data rate stereo connections.
If you want stereo audio connection, simutaneous phone connection and GPS connection running while all the associated SW packages are running in your phone, then you are asking a hell of a lot of even a 2.5Ghz laptop!
PLEASE, lets get the device in perspective......
Hello,
Sorry for my english.
I'm biker too, i'm using a Parrot BT Headset and i've got no problem.
I'm listen to music (with S2P) and using copilot live at the same time without problem.
Sometimes instead of S2P, i'm listening to webradio (with Wunderadio) and using copilot live without problem...
Listening radio or music allow that the BT channel is always up.
regards,
Thierry
i'm not a motorbiker, but i use bluetooth headset for listening music.
When wifi is on, and there is not wlan accessible, bluetooth lags every 30 seconds when trying to connect.
I'm reviving this ancient thread, cause I'm having a similar problem with my HTC Amaze and it's driving me nuts.
Sound is played back with about 2 seconds lag, very, very annoying. Never had any issues with my Motorola Droid...
Can anyone explain why this is happening and if there is a possible fix/hack?
Help?!
Hi guys
i read xda so much, but i don't write as well
i have a big issue with my galaxy s 2
i use a bt car stereo, with a2dp and avrcp support
i used to stream all my music collection from my iphone4
now i got my sgs2 and i love it... but
the audio stream looks "limited"
it seems a bandwidth issue, or i don't know a quality issue
with iphone4 i streamed at full quality, now the sgs2 sounds a lot worst
other than that, i have to disable wifi because if on, the music is choppy and skips a lot
with wifi off, the stream goes well, but it sound bad...
sorry for my not so perfect english... i hope there is a way to improve sound quality because i "live" with a2dp on in my car...
That's strange. My a2dp stream actually sound better from sgs2 than it does from my ipod touch 2nd gen, iphone or my computer (bluez).
Receiver is a belkin stereo a2dp receiver.
Are you sure that it's not in handsfree mode? Long press the a2dp device in bluetooth settings and there should be an option to select it to be a media device, make sure it's checked.
thanks for the reply gvoima, no it's in media device mode
i think the problem is the bitpool
i've got the same problem of this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708685
there is an mp3 sample of the problem in the first page

I got a belkin stereo receiver as well, but it sounds bad and choppy, just like the topic starter described. Though still compressed (this is a known issue for A2DP due to bandwidth limitations) songs sounds much better from my Nokia E52 work phone.

The "but my (insert phone) worked better" isn't really valid. For as many people who make that statement there are an equal number who are shocked that the SGS2 works where other phones haven't. This is kind of like the Wi-Fi issue. When two pieces of equipment don't interact well you can't just blame one of them.
In my car and on my Yamaha YSP-4000 the SGS2's Bluetooth works better than any phone I've used. That includes the HD2, G2, and G2X. The sound is much more defined and headset controls (random and repeat) show available for the first time. The SGS2 also feeds track info to the car which none of the others did.
Bluetooth connections and sound quality are always a big YMMV.
My Sony MW600 sound great, I use to have a Motorola Defy , and it use to have an "Enhanced Stereo" option in the blue-tooth menu, the Samsung S2 does not have this option.
@BarryH,
Oh I know, I not blaming the SGS2. I only think the SGS2 out sound to it's output module which is somehow less suitable for the kind of compression, maybe set by the Belkin module. Actually I'm currious if there would be ways to change the way the SGS2 sends sound signals via A2DP

LG's implementation of Bluetooth drove G2X owners crazy. Check out this thread from the G2X forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117769
Maybe it will help. The only other solution for the G2X was installing an AOSP ROM.
Well, I tried it (Bluetooth Fix Repair), but off-course that tool is for a problem the SGS2 does not have.
From the tinkering I've done now I know.
- Having MusicFX installed does not make a difference
- Video players running ffmpeg codec do also not make much difference in sound quality
- The -type- of file does make a difference, i.e. low bitrate files play better
This makes me think, is there a music program which can resample/recode music before playing. I'd rather have software do that than A2DP do it badly, or is mono output (other than all the tools enabling playback on mono headsets which is for pre-A2DP headsets and thus something else) possible?
Edit /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
Uncomment "Master" option and set it to "True".
Uncomment "MaxConnections" and set it to 3.
Most Android devices have this file configured poorly by default, those 2 settings should help though.
I'd suggest also enabling HFP and AutoConnect.
Great! That definitly reduced creaking/noises and even the occasional stuttering music!
Since you seem to know your stuff, would there be a way to send a mono signal to (only) the A2DP stack and would this decrease the 'tin can' effect? I'd rather have better upper tones than stereo.

Thanks for the suggestions...going to try this and see if the sound quality improves in my car stereo.
Till now the best A2dp sound quality was on my Nexus S, but that was with the help of custom rom development and vodoo sound. Worst was the g2x.

Ok guys, I think I might have... accidentily... run into a phenonemon.
I tested my phone on a Creative D100 wireless speaker it it went great, no tin can sound, no hickups.
This proved to me that there had to be something wrong. Now when I was posting here earlier I was listening a lot to music and at a certain moment I thought... wait I'm not hearing a tin-can sound anymore. However, later on while testing I heard it again so I thought I imagined it.
Powering off the phone and powering on again I was able to create this again. No tin can sound... however a lot of hickups (as if a lot of data had to be sent and it didn't quite fit). I made a call to my work phone (sound on the handset) to test and then the tin can sound was there again, no hick ups anymore though. Strangely enough a haven't been able to replicate the 'no tin can sound but hickup situation' though by powering off and on again. Tried after playing on the Belkin on the D100 again and no problems at all, great sound and no hickups whatsoever.
It appears to be a bigger issue with android connected to the bitpool setting the bluetooth receiver desires...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14944891#post14944891
Let's hope the upcoming Cynogen can fix this issue.
I too felt that the A2DP sound quality on the Nokia BH103 is crap as compared to my Nokia 5800 (sounded even better than stock wired headset). It also uses a lot more battery, I find mediaserver using a lot of battery.
How do we escalate this to Samsung?

I have the problem that I can listen to music with my A2DP BT Headset (Philips SHB9001), but if I start Youtube, a game or the internal video player the phone fails and plays the sound over the speaker.
Is there any posibility to "hack" the phone (or something like that) in order to get that working?
I deeply hope that one of you a solution
look here
You made my day ...did't find that. Guess I searched with the wrong search terms. THANK YOU! I'll try it asap
this is useful for me too thanks
a bit buggy
FYI: Playing YouTube videos it's a bit buggy (BT Headset makes some kind of squeaky sound, it's stuttering ... don't know how discribe it better), guess that's why MS disabled it by default.
But I'am happy to have it . If someone knows this bug, and even better how to fix it, I would be glad to know .
Maybe it's wifi that is interfering with bluetooth. At least I have the same behavior on HD2 with wifi on.
