The reason I am asking is I have just horrible results listening to music through the headset!
I have tried a couple different headsets with the same results, they all skip and pause like at least 5 times a minute!
As a experiment this morning I took my wifes original instinct to the gym with me and used that for an hour and it was flawless.
So anyway I was just kinda hoping it might work!
Thanks
Roman
No it doesn't...
I noticed this too. What rom are you using
I have used a2dp bluetooth with my car stereo on Darch's rom, Flip's and Damage's. They all have had the same BT hiccuping issues. Mine is more like once every five minutes, but occasionally it freaks out.
Really I am just waiting for the official 2.1 release to come out and then I will go to an AOSP build (come on Darch!). I expect this issue will be sorted out then.
I am using Damage, but it's been off with all the roms I have used! Although it does seem worse with damage! I am thinking about trading with the wife, the bluetooth at the gym is way more important to me!
It really seems to me not a lot is known about A2DP other than it seems kinda unreliable to many, but works great for some!
I really don't know what the hell is wrong, but i am tired of researching it and trying to find a fix!

Because in the official 1.5 build a2dp worked without this issue... and an official CDMA 2.1 build has not been released yet.

Well I did my nandroided back to 1.5 about an hour ago, and since then I have been running around cleaning house!
In the same room with my phone absolutely no skips, when I walk out of the room a few skips and the farther away I get the more skips I get, but not important to me as the phone will be on me when I am listening to music anyway!
Using the phone while listening to music only presented a few skips as well!
Using any Rom while doing the above would have left the music skipping at least 5 times a minute!
So all in all I guess I got it solved, although I am stuck on 1.5 as it seems, but i am stuck with the question of why does it not work so well on any Roms that I have used!
Thanks to you danknee you have made me a happy man(well as happy as a man can be cleaning house) as I have spent countless hours searching for an answer to this!
Edit:
Forgot to add that I am still rooted, but all stock!
Good to hear. Your results sound about the same as mine. I use my phone in a stationary car bracket (ProClip) that is positioned about 1.5 feet away from the A2DP BT radio (Sony with built in receiver).
With this setup my 1.5 was outstanding, but all the 2.1 builds have been very sporadic. I thought it was data connection issues with the 2.1 builds, but tried locally stored music and video with the same issues (narrowing the issue down to BT).
Just wanted to give another update:
Went to the gym today and did 20 mins on the treadmill and 30 mins on the bike and about 15 mins playing B-ball! I had one skip that was like 1 100th of a second skip, could of even been the song!
Now my question: Why do most of the Roms not work very well with A2DP?
Thanks again danknee!

from other things i have read, android has some weird issue with the way it handles bluetooth, which has clearly been resolved with 1.5 given the results that i can attest to, but possibly not as high a priority for 2.x since they haven't even really gotten it out yet and probably have more basic issues to take care of first?
just a thought...

What bluetooth crap? I've been running 2.1 since I got my hero (only ran 1.5 long enough to drive home from Best Buy. Already had the rom downloaded and my pc set up for rooting before I even went to buy the phone).
I've never experienced one single problem with bluetooth, across at least 10 different 2.1 roms I've tried.
You'll be giving up a lot of standard features... like pinch to zoom (although I hear they finally got touble tap to zoom). Just FYI

Bluetooth problems seem to be about 50/50 with hero owners!
I seem to be in the 50% that bluetooth sucks ass on any 2.xx rom, and works flawless on 1.5.
Sometimes I wonder if all heros were hand built, it would explain all the different problems some have and some don't!

no i think that everyone uses the BT diffrently ... my BT on the hero suckss ass on 2.1 and works great on 1.5 .. i have a car radio that i can play music form my phone and at the same time do navigation voice ( from the phone also ) ..on 1.5 it works great ..on 2.1 it works for 5min and then both sounds are gone and i get a FC on BT driver , my audio BT headsets on 1.5 works great on 2.1 it just craps out every couple mins ... cant even use it at all...
I guess that explains it. I only use bluetooth for a small headset and file transfers. Both work flawlessly.
I don't use a2dp at all, which now that I think about it, is what I've heard most people say they've had trouble with....
I can do this. Expect a port in 10 minutes, or whenever it's done downloading.

By small headset I assume you mean just a single ear piece?
If thats the case it works great on any Rom I have tried, it just streaming music where it cuts out and skips a minimum of 5 times per minute of song, and forget doing anything else on your phone!

Yep, the single earpiece with a mic used for phone calls, not headphones for listening to music.
Even though both uses are transferring audio, they actually use completely different bluetooth profiles, which I suppose explains why one works well and the other doesn't.

Like I said it's 50/50 across the board!
So I love this phone. I received it yesterday, and I can get a very accurate GPS lock in about three seconds, without the 'fix'. I havent noticed a single problem with the phone. The only thing I have a question about is this 5.1 Channel Surround Sound. It says you can only use it in headphone mode-but when I put in the headphones that came with the Vibrant the only thing I notice is it makes the movie/music higher pitched. Is that all it does or am I missing something?
It's an SRS sound processing effect, best for movies since you can't adjust the "TruBass", "Dialog Clarity", "Center/Surround" or "Focus"..
IMHO some of us would be loving a true SRS iWOW DSP, and not this crap Samsung gave us. It's best left off for music and it probably isn't that great for movies
Boy, ain't that the truth!
If there is some developer out there PLEASE port SRS WoW to
the android platform...!
Or at least give us some way to set the sound options on the
video player. I really like this phone but, even with headphone on
it's sometimes very hard to hear movies while they are playing.

Mine was the same way until I rooted it.
After I rooted it I went from 18 hour battery life to 6-8 and the freezing problem got really really bad, the more apps I put on the phone the worse it got, it got to the point were I got a black screen for 3-5 minutes every other app I opened.
My GPS also worked perfectly but I try the 1st "fix" and I had nothing but problem ever sense I did it.
I returned mine for a new one and everything worked great except the GPS and I applied the 2nd fix and all works great now.
Moral of the story is
If it's not broke don't fix it
I'm not going to root my phone until things are ironed out.

I loved reading what uninformed users think. The Update.zip only installs Superuser.apk, SU, and Busybox. All three only run when called upon by another application, and then exit. You battery issues are unrelated, more than likely caused by leaving your brightness up too high, or wifi or bluetooth on. The lag is a known issue by Samsung. It is caused by the way app data is stored, and can be remedied by moving the datadb to another partition and sym-linking. Blaming these problems on rooting is like blaming a flat tire on the oil change you got last week, it's just ignorant and uninformed.
Also, all of this is unrelated to the original post, so please, stop trying to thread jack and take your misinformed opinion elsewhere.

Hi all,
I have almost decided that the Galaxy S is going to be my next phone but just wanted to check what the current state of the GPS problem is (yes I have googled but can't find any definitive answer).
Have samsung fixed this and if so what is GPS reception like, how long does it take to pick up a signal etc. How does the GPS chipset compare to the HTC Hero?
Cheers,
Michael
Its not flawless....but works decent enough. The update frequency is slow and has minor accuracy issues, but something you can live with.
Why not wait for a couple months and get a dual core based phone? or even the nexus s instead
i was leaning towards the Galaxy S due to its relatively low second hand price (I have seen some go for just over £200). Moving from a HTC Hero as I am getting more and more frustrated by how much the keyboard and software in general lags and could do with a bigger screen.
Quite like the look of the HTC Desire HD but battery life concerns me.
Nexus S seems over priced for an average handset to me.
iPhone 4 very nice but too expensive and lack of Googlemaps nav is a big downer.
Everything about the Galaxy S seems nice except for this GPS issue...
It is clearly not fixed.
I tested 3 different Galaxy S with 2.1 and one that I upgraded to 2.2 (JL2) and all of them had a broken GPS. It gets a lock, but it is imprecise. Sometimes it think that you are on the next street.<
Never had this problem with: hero, milestone and optimus one.
what about the 2.2.1 roms? have heard some people have had more success with these... anyone tried these?
mine was useless but is much better with 2.2.1

Tell me how to do the tracks and I will do them. I am also experiencing very (dramatically?) improved GPS after the official update to 2.2. Previously GPS Status was showing a lot of satellites, but only a few (3-5) locked. Now it's 10/10 or 9/9 ... Haven't tested it too much around big buildings though (just briefly and was similar to results from my G1).

I'll try to record some track with 2.2.1, but the improvement is noticeable.
Maybe it won't be accurate enough for fitness use, but at least it doesn't jump around in a 100 meter range randomly.
Now, for the first time ever my GPS is useable. Not perfect, but reaches the minimum necessary to be useable.

Google maps may not be 100% accurate here. Track was recorded from a car. Galaxy S with JPY seems to overshoot on corners, but certainly it is good enough for car navigation.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
GPS works much much better since firmware based en 2.2.1. My lock time switch from 1 or 2 minutes for 5/6 satts to 10/15 seconds with 8/11 satts. Accurancy was a bit better with JPU (nearly always 5 meters) but with JPY it's now between 5 and 10 meters.
TLDR: GPS is quite usable now with 2.2.1 ROM.

The new blur is far far far superior to the old blur. Much smoother and snappier. GB in itself is very smooth, even without overclocking. Its worth a try.
Agreed. Sorry to come off that way. Between folks semi bricking their phones and posting a thread about it. I kinda was like o_0 . I used to not like blur. But now stock GB at 1.25 GHz is great.

Put my phone on GB this morning. Cant comment on its battery life. I came from fission 2.6.1 and this seems alot smoother. I also got a 300point boost on quandrant. I have not OCed it yet but I am sure I will soon.
Exchange setup is different that before which threw me for a little loop but got it figured out.
Hope Pandora works ok this. on 2.6.1 after I unplugged my headphones pandora would pause and if I waited several hours before pluggin headphones back in and playin pandora again it would play the cached song then would close. Wouldn't give me a FC but just close out and then I couldn't get it to work again unless I rebooted phone..

i never had this issue on any of the fission ROMS, it may have been the version of Pandora you were running. the only recent issues i've experienced with Pandora is how it will sometimes kick out of the "station" and go back to the selection list. if you're walking along, you don't know if it's buffering or quit or what!!
new blur is big improvement. still hate the app force-feed of backup assitant and city ID, but nothing a little rooting can't take care of.
Ya that is what my pandora is doin. but it wont let me select a channel then. well it does but it kicks back out to station selection.
On GB haven't had that issue yet. I have had it close. so I am sure its Pandora's problem.
Has anyone got Corperate Sync to work on this GB. I can not get it to work I get failed to logon message everytime.
OC'd GB and got 2235 on Quandrant FYI 400 higher than I seen with fission i was getting 1800's at 1350.
But I run underclocked/undervolted just needed to try it out
when pandora acts like that (can't choose a channel), i usually quit it and open it again, seems to fix it, for a little while at least. not sure if it's a network issue.
pandora hasn't FC'd on me yet (knocking) and the headphone/phone call "coordination" seems to work better (unplugging headset pauses music, etc.). something weird that seems to happen is after i plug in a headset, pandora pauses, but only eventually. i don't think it's instant, usually it's like 30s or something.
Bluetooth and regular media volume are know linked together vs before headphone jack and bluetooth were seperate. Use headphone jack for car and bluetooth for my S9's. Kinda a bummer since I blar my music on S9's because i use them at the gym and then when I go to plug it into my car my car speakers about blow up LOL..
Has anyone seen the keyboard and botton 4 buttons not light up. Its a hit or mis if they light up on me. I noticed it last night when I was tryin to type in the dark. the lights are lighting up today but early this morning they did the same thing.

I bought one two days ago when my note 4 spontaneously died, and while I'm super impressed with performance I'm finding that it utterly blows at Bluetooth audio!
It skips and stutters so much!
I did summer searching and it looks like they've been aware of it since November but I can't find any record of anyone saying it's fixed yet... Is there any indication its going to be solved soon?
Playing music from it is probably about 1/3 of its purpose, I'm not going to put up with this indefinitely.

What kind of bluetooth device are you using? I've got 5 different bluetooth devices (4 headsets and my car) and I dont have any issues with it at all (unless I'm running a CM rom, but it's been a while so maybe it's been fixed in those...)
It's just a question of curiosity really.
I think they tried to fix it in the latest build (March) but I still have some skipping on my Moto Stream. It seems less frequent and distracting than previously.
I tried the Android N preview and funnily enough didn't have any obvious skips but not sure I tried it for long enough to be sure. I think others have said they still have problems on the N Preview.

i haven't tried it with the car but with my brand new skullcandy "smokin buds 2 wireless" (yeah the name sucks), it seems to be resource related.
I'm i'm playing a game it skips a lot more playing the music.. I typically turn the game audio off so I can play with my music...
Ugh. It works fine with the car, and my wife's cheap Logitech headset with fine with it.
So it sounds like it's the skull candy smokin buds 2 that are the fault.
