I just purchased a new stereo for my car, a Sony mex-bt2800. I paired my phone to the deck no problem, but the audio stream seems to keep getting interupted for a second or two at random. Is anyone else having similar issues streaming to a2dp devices? I don't have any other a2dp devices to pair the phone to, so I don't know if it's a problem with the phone or the deck.
Edit: New problem, see my last post.
This happened to me before. For my phone it turned out to be a battery widget. Weird.
Edit: I have a similar setup. Sony MEX-3700U.

I've got no idea how to fix this issue, but yes, I get the same problem. I've noticed that A2DP sounds like garbage with this phone. My wife's Evo sound a lot better (though still not great). Just wanted to comment that you're certainly not alone with this problem. I've just learned to live with it until Samsung fixes the whole headphone out/bluetooth source issue.

My sound quality is great. I can't tell the difference between AUX and bluetooth on my sony.
For me the sound would jitter on both my car stereo and when using wired headphones.
Something is peggin the phone. I had to run logcat to find out what it was.

Mine sounds fine to my jabra extreme. I actually hook it up usb to my head unit and it sounds awesomer that way...yes that's right, awesomeR. You can't ask for great sound quality from a bt headset, kind of their major flaw.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The sound quality is actually pretty good, much better than I anticipated. I'm going to play around with it some more today and see if I can find a solution. It was skipping a lot, atleast 10 times in a 3 minute song. I'll run it through some tests and report back.
Thanks for your input guys! Much appreciated.

Well... I think I figured it out. Lastnight, I had accidentally left wifi on when I left the house. Today it was off and not a single skip for the 1.5 hours I was driving. Awesome!

I guess that's a possibility. I leave my wifi on all the time, so that would explain it. I'll have to check it next time I head out somewhere. Thanks, man.
new problem
Now I can't get the AVRCP controls to work for the stock music player. Any suggestions?
I have the same unit... skips and volume work on pandora for me.
But I don't know what AVRCP stands for so I am not sure if that has anything to do with what you are attempting.

Running stock dk28 and I'm missing phone calls because the ringer is playing out of the ear piece speaker instead of the speaker phone speaker. Has anyone seen this? Anyone have a fix?
Also, my ear piece speaker pops sometimes for no reason. It's really killing me!
To note, stock di works just fine, no pops, nothing. Ringer works just fine.

I've often wondered if that was the case. Wonder if it has to do with the bluetooth stack? So really, only the two of us are having this issue?
It's possible that you two are the only ones using a bluetooth headset that detach it while expecting calls.

Acutally I just notced this issue yesterday. I have the motorola s10 stereo bluetooth headset that I use every morning when I go to the gym. I usually have my ringer on vibrate but I noticed that the ringer was playing through the ear piece and not the speaker. I reset the phone and everything went back to normal but is there a fix for this?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I had the same issue once, but unfortunately I'm not sure what triggered it, I don't use bluetooth ever.
restarting the phone resolved it and I haven't seen it since.
Stupid bluetooth. Oh well. Hope they fix it before they release it in a few years. Haha!

I never heard this on froyo but every gb rom I've tried even cm7 when I play pandora I get a electric crackle through my speakers. I've tried high quality mode which its not as bad as normal but its still there. This also happens with or without voodoo. I have also uninstalled and re installed from the market. Is this happening to anyone else or know a fix or is it the kernel?

If you're talking about external speakers, make sure the speakers aren't too close to the phone or any other wireless devices.
I'm having the same issue with my epic, my wife is also having the issue on her stock nexus s. It happens with or without external speakers plugged in.

This happens in my truck with my phone plugged into cd player with 3.5mm jack and my phone sits on passenger side seat. It has always sat in the same spot while I listen to pandora since froyo. The funny thing is I don't hear the crackle if I use music player its only pandora. So then maybe its just pandora needs to update their app.

Had this problem as well I put it in high quality then restarted the app and that seems to work as I can't hear the crackle anymore but most likely pandoras fault there was a recent update that may have caused this

I just opened up my world to Pandora the other day, noticed this right away. I've never been a big music guy, but either way, I'm noticing the same exact thing. Both in my car through the 3.5mm jack and at home over Wifi.
I've not used Pandora in a long time, so I can't comment on its abilities with the Epic but- I will suggest trying Slacker Radio. I switched to it months ago and haven't looked back. I personally like it a lot better and it seems to work great so far.

Anyone having this issue with pandora if you are completely stock could you download log collector from the market then upload the log here and I can send that to pandora?
You obviously have to be running the log before its crackling.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I have noticed the same thing, running legendary / samurai. In particular occasional high pitched squeaks and beeps. Thanks for letting me know it's not my imagination.
So glad I came across this thread!
Just upgraded from CM9 RC2 (where Pandora worked flawlessly) to CM9 stable and I started hearing the crackling and it only seems to be linked to Pandora.
OK so I work as a dish network technician. Sometimes I hook up my headphones to my glacier to listen to some music and run it through my shirt so as for them to not get pulled while working on the ladder and all that. What do you guys think would be the best an easiest way toblisten to my music? How I'm doing it or are there any wireless solutions.. any help is a appreciated.

Assuming you mean access to the music media and not e.g. wireless headphones, if in the USA, try Google Music and mark songs for offline while you're on WiFi, so it won't use up data. Otherwise, I woukd suggest a large memory card.

There is this one Bluetooth+ wireless headphones, at radioshack. I wanna say by Samsung, really nice set. The headphones plug into the Bluetooth, then the headset clips on to your shirt. The earbuds are really strong too,I used them at my work for a while, very nice sound. The price I wanna say is around 60-80, can't remember.

I have to vote for Bluetooth headphones as well. I've tried two pairs: Motorola S9s, and Rocketfish RF-MAB2. The S9s were not worth what I paid for them. The sound quality was ok at best, the earbuds uncomfortable, and the battery life was not great. Their top selling point (for me, anyways) was that they were sweatproof. As I run and work out a lot, I was really looking forward to no more tangles. Turns out, they are not sweatproof. After about 3 weeks of workouts, they crapped out. The controls became unresponsive; I couldn't even get the power button working to turn them off. And I lost my receipt, so there went any replacement.
Did some research and took a shot at the Rocketfish RF-MAB2s. They are absolutely fantastic and better than the S9s in every aspect. Much more comfortable, the sound quality is fantastic, and the battery life is pretty much as advertised. The only drawback is that they are not specifically advertised as being sweatproof. However, I've been using them for over 3 months with no problems whatsoever. As a precaution, I wipe them whenever I feel they might start getting wet, and I bought a few of these covers to make sure sweat doesn't get into the charging port.
Bluetooth works great for me. Search Ebay and you can find a bunch. make sure it's the ones that can transfer media (music), not the ones that are used for calls.
Awesome thanks guys will try some out and let you guys know which ones worked great...I doubt here is but there wouldn't be like just a one eared headphone so I an just listen to music in one ear would there??
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Personally, I use the Jabra BT-3030 dogtag adapter. It let's you use the headphones of your choice. I do the same thing with tucking the wires under my shirt. The device is great, streams music and takes calls. There is a Mic built into the top of the device. it has all the music controls and they work as expected, has its own independent volume control too. You can even use it as a remote control if you plug another cord into the phone's jack. Pretty cool if you hook up to a stereo and feel like being lazy.
I prefer in ear buds, so this was the best solution for me. You can find it for $20-30 online.

I used to have an eBay Bluetooth headset that played music through the speaker when connected to my computer, but not on my phone. I think in order for your phone to play music through it, it has to recognize it as a media receiver and most single earpiece sets will only receive call audio.
Anyone know how to get the Bluetooth settings from android 4.1 put into android 4.2? I've seen people talking about stacks and what not but have no idea what they are talking about. It is actually an open issue in 4.2 that has been assigned. See thread.

I am an audiophile and Bluetooth sounds fine.
In my car I have a Bose stereo. cymbal splashes, vocals, or anything high frequency sounds very tinny. or the best way to describe it would be like crinkling a potato chip bag during those high frequency parts. It isn't obnoxiously bad, but definitely bad enough to know something is not right. Didn't have problems on my galaxy nexus till it updated to 4.2, it sounded great. Then when nexus 4 came and I fired it up it thinking it would be better it sounded identical to the galaxy nexus post upgrade. The headphone jack sounds great though, it just seems to be affecting Bluetooth.

Bluetooth audio sounds fine to me as well. I'm using the LG HBS-700 A2DP headset.
I do find it to be less noticeable when using play music, or music on my phone. Still there, but not as bad. If I use slacker or Pandora, it's a train wreck. I know I'm not crazy cause I reverted my galaxy nexus back to 4.1.2 and it was fine again. I can use an aux cable but that defeats the purpose of having Bluetooth in my car. And I can't revert my nexus 4 to 4.1

Not unless the car stereo supports MTP. Most only support USB mass storage which is deprecated on many Android devices now.

So there is no setting inside the andriod to make it compactable with the USB cable? Or is there a work around to make it possible without a aux or Bluetooth ?
Not possible at all. I work at a car stereo shop and not a single one I have tried works. Only solution is auxilary or Bluetooth if you want to spend the extra money... Definitely worth it if you ask me though

As far as i know there is not... USB is a pain in the ass with android and car stereos anyways. It reads the entire SD card directory and makes it a pain in the ass to navigate through your music. Go for Bluetooth man

Bluetooth quality is purer because straight data.

This actually really dissapointed me, as it was one of my favourite use-cases for my phone, not having to maintain two (or more) seperate music collections - prevents the phenomenon of heading off on a planned highly enjoyable car trip with my current favourite music, only to find that I didn't move it onto the appropriate USB device.
My last phone was an HTC Sensation running a 4.1 JB ROM, I forget which exactly, it got changed a lot . Something minimal. Anyway...
I tried using the headphone jack out, into my car stereo aux in, and even when I upped the input source level in the stereo hardware, and cranked up the volume on the Nex4, it only got to about 60% of the volume I wanted. Bah. The Bluetooth adapter for the stereo is like $200 if it's even available anymore. Very lame.
I could get a headphone amp. Actually, that's probably the easiest thing to do for me. Off I go to the web store.
Ramble over. Oh, first post here. Hi y'all. (software dev)
Thanks for the much needed insight into this issue now. Right now I have to look for Bluetooth adapter. And I hope Google will fill this gap of charging and using the music player with the same single USB cable it would be a good thing to have too.
Hi all hope you all having a fantastic day with nexus 4

Bluetooth is convenient as there is no wire, but folks claiming Bluetooth has better audio quality than line out are incorrect (sorry). You will have much better audio quality with the line out, assuming your head unit's aux input has enough gain to get to levels you normally listen to.

My Sony WX-GT80UI says that it accepts MTP.. But when my Nexus 4 is connected, it says device not compatible. How is this? Do I need to have music files on root of card or what else could make a difference?
