bluetooth audio stutter

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..

A2DP Bluetooth on 2.1 Based Roms - In search of a final answer

Hi all,
Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong forum, but it does pertain to the array of 2.1 ROMs out there.
I am in search of a 2.1 based ROM that has fully functioning A2DP stereo bluetooth capabilities.
Ive used Fresh 2.0d for a long time (still do), tried DamageControl 2.08 etc.
Only one that I had some success with was DarchLegend v5.0.5, but it seemed to have problems getting my contact pictures from Facebook etc. (Admittedly I may have to try it again).
My question is whether anyone can recommend a ROM where A2DP is known to work perfectly?
Also, a more general question: are ROMs like Fresh and Damage Desire-based as opposed to Darch being Legend-based? If this is the case, what are the benefits of a Desire-based ROM over a Legend-based ROM?
(I fully admit that I don't know enough about this stuff...I've tried to search but am still in need of answers - please help a curious guy out!)
Thanks for all the help

I've used an a2dp stereo bluetooth (Blueant X5i to be specific) with the ZenEXP (mytouch based) rom, with Fresh Toast 1.1 and with Fresh 2.0d. ZenEXP seemed the best to me, but they're all glitchy. Slacker works fine with the headset. Pandora will stop playing music over it after the screen turns off. I don't use the built in media player so I can't say how well that works. NPR stream & tweet and iheartradio both worked with it just fine too. If it gets a hiccup though, it'll stop the audio and the bluetooth will get stuck saying it's disconnected and it won't reconnect properly until you restart the phone. Pandora did this any time the screen turned off.

Just yesterday I upgraded the firmware for my blueant Q1 and streamed some audio from slacker just fine. Also checked htc music app and worked too. Ill do more extensive testing tonight. Im on Damage control v2.08 which is a sprint hero based rom.

I notice that both of you above are using Blueant...
Here's my problem...I have both a Jawbone ICON and Bluetooth Stereo speakers in my 2010 Mazda.
The Jawbone seems to work fine when I upgraded it to support A2DP, but I just don't really like it because its quiet and outputs just through one speaker (obviously). My Mazda is the one Im really trying to get working...it worked flawlessly on a 1.5 based ROM (proving that the speakers/bluetooth in the car itself works)...its just on these 2.1 based ROMs.
Any ideas?

I have a 2010 Mazda 3i with bluetooth that worked fine with android 1.5 but the audio is messed up with android 2.1, it plays at 2 times the normal speed and will randomly slow down and sputter at times. I am thinking about rooting my phone in a couple days and playing around with the bluetooth files if possible since you aren't having any luck with any of the 2.1 ROM's out there

bluetooth
My phone worked perfectly on bluetooth in my tacoma with car m_media. Since 2.1 it works sometimes. The sprint store told me it was not the phone which I know it is and I should get a newer bt device. It was new last year. I have now found if I go into airport mode for a few seconds and then go back the bt will work until I get away from the truck again. I have to do the airport thing everytime I come back, but it will work.

Jawbone A2DP update
Anyone with jawbone can now use earphone as headphone for 'any' media from Hero, http://mytalk.jawbone.com/jb2/mytalk/beta, hope this helps!

Bluetooth issues with A2D

Hello, I am pairing my Aria with Motorola MOTOROKR T505 and experiencing issues when streaming music to my FM radio. Every 20 seconds or so the streaming stops for a split second making this a very annoying experience
I think there is a problem with the bluetooth stack, I was using cyanogenmod CM6-Liberty (FroYo) ROM and the experience was awesome. I went back to the AT&T original ROM last night because the battery life and performance with the Froyo was really bad but now I cannot listen to music in the car.
Any tips/ideas?
Cheers

I just got my T505 this morning, took one call and listened to two songs on the way to work w/o problem. I am still running the stock ROM, have not flashed yet. Several reviews mention issues with FM frequencies ... have you tried a different frequency?

Hummm, I was having this issue while connected to the T505 internal speaker. I just did a full reset (holding Volume Up and Power) and now works!!
Cheers

I have this same issue with my Sprint Hero and the T505 in my car. I think I had to turn off wifi to stop it (wifi was causing interference as it was scanning)...though this may not be the case with you.
So, this issue isn't isolated to the Aria.

I noticed I had my wifi off when I did the T505 reset. Turning wifi on brings the problem back. Thanks for clarifying that!

Rom with better bluetooth audio A2DP? (Static in music)

My EVO bluetooth audio A2DP does not work well with my car stereo I just purchased specifically for the bluetooth feature. (Sony mex-bt3800u) There is static present, and it has gone from a-bit-annoying on some songs in 2.1 to I'll-never-use-the-feature in 2.2 (netarchy).
Some googling has led me to believe that the fault lies with HTC and their crummy bluetooth stack. The only option I've heard is to install CM6. However I do not want to lose 4G.
So are my only options really between working 4G or working Bluetooth? Are there no other roms based on the Evo source that improve the bluetooth?

Nope CM is your only bet I have a feature request for Fresh to look at fixing it http://geekfor.me/forum/evo-feature-request/request-higher-bitpool-setting-for-bluetooth-a2dp/ but it's not a heavily requested feature.
some more reading on the problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762526

I'm not sure whats wrong but the stereo bluetooth works perfect in my ford with sync. No static. I do love how its always something wrong with the phone. With that said you could try this kernel

the problem lies here
Code:
E/AudioHardwareQSD( 300): setParameters() bt_headset_name=XPLOD;bt_headset_nrec=on
I/AudioHardwareQSD( 300): Using default acoustic parameters (XPLOD not in acoustic database)
when that happens it drops to a bitpool setting of 32 = static crap

Audio Skips in Bluetooth Headset in Custom ROMs

Im Using MW600 as my Bluetooth Headset, but i found out that the Audio Skips once in a while, while listening to Music, Watching Video's and maybe even in Calls, Im using FroyoBread v016.
I have already asked doixanh about this, but he doesn't have a BT Headset, so it is impossible for him to fix this.
Is there anyone out there who could help us users with BT Headset and find for a fix for FroyoBread or every custom roms out there, i heard that this bug is present in every custom roms
Thanks

I use DS205 and I didn't have skip problem. Not yet I guess...
But I notice the phone become a bit laggy.
Owww, I almost forgot, the play/pause button doesn't work
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

i have the same problem, my bluetooth headset it SE MH100

Let's hope that some dev's can look around with this problem and can find a fix

is this occur on racht hackdroid too?

This problem caused from Sony's special codecs. MW600 works perfectcly on original roms, but when we use custom roms we have sound interruptions
I'm looking for alternate bluetooth stereo hedset for MW600. Is anyone suggest to me an alternate?

I use a plantronics backbeat headset with my HTC Evo 4G and every songle custom rom i have tried makes it skip... is there a solution for it?

For me (with MW600) sound only skips in 2.2 ROMs. 2.3 ROMs should be fine, so if it skips under gigerbread, then I think you have got no problem with headset or rom but there are some CPU eating app you've got there. So try PowerAmp and set the audio thread priority to maximum. See if it works.
Notice that we've got X8 there, so your problem might be different!

i have mh100 using gingerdx v23b and i don't have any problem with the audio skipping or any thing p.s: using alfs GDX v8
you should consider upgrading and using alfs kernel-or without kernel-
plus i wanted to ask a question about your headset can you play FM radio through Bluetooth or does it tell you to connect wired headset
