SGS2 dropping Bluetooth connection in car and sound quality is terrible. - Galaxy S II General

Anyone else having serious bluetooth issues in car or otherwise? I cannot make calls out in my car (2010 GMC Terrain). It will make the call initially, but the sound is very choppy and I drop the BT connection every time.
Figured I would try here before returning the phone to see if its a known issue. Very frustrating considering my SGS1 worked 100% fine.

I use BT a lot and haven't had any trouble establishing and maintaining a connection. I've used it with two different Infiniti's and it's performed flawlessly - auto connects, transfers contacts, support calls waiting and hold, streams BT audio, displays artist and title via the car's display, pauses music for incoming calls, and tracks forward and back using the car's controls.
Does the Terrain have GM's funky BT via OnStar? I had a CTS with it and it drove me mad. I had three different phones and none of them worked exactly the way they should have.

Ford Edge with Sync. The sound quality with my SGS2 is horrid! Mine is also choppy though I don't drop the connection. As soon as I turn bluetooth off the sound quality on the phone is great.

Guys, I've this same problem with my car (2009 Toyota Avensis + build-in Nokia CK-100 - official Bluetooth module) and my friend car (2010 Nissan Note + build-in BT Nissans radio). Choppy sound but I didn't see disconnects. I've branded rom for Polish T-mobile, shoud I change it to custom? or maybe any official service can re-install branded firmware?
Maybe Wifi + BT + GPS couldn't be turn onn at the same time? I didn't find any paths to resolve problem.
Sorry for my poor english

I am using mine with a Ford and it works perfectly.

Nexus One Bluetooth issues (short version: it sucks)

Moved from a MT3G to the Nexus One, and I've been very disappointed by the Bluetooth.
The phone pairs fine with my Bluetooth devices, but it rarely transfers the audio. I've tested it on several devices:
Chrysler MyGig: pairs, but doesn't transfer audio. Carkit DOES show incoming and outgoing calls, but audio stays on the phone. Pressing "Bluetooth" in call doesn't do anything.
Garmin Nuvi 855T - pairs and calls work, but it regularly pops up with "phone connection error"
Spracht Bluetooth carkit - pairs, but same audio transfer issues as on the MyGig unit.
These three products worked perfectly with the MT3G, so I'm curious what Google broke and whether any of the other non-stock roms out there can make Bluetooth work correctly.
having issues myself with streaming A2DP in a 2010 VW. Phone works great but music clips almost like it's buffering. Issue doesn't exist with other phones.
My issue with bluetooth is I cant send files to my laptop anything works fine...
Don't know about your issue, but my N1 hasn't had any major BT problems. Occasionally it drops out while running with my Plantronics with A2DP, but that happened with my G1 too. File transfers are no problem for me either, and I never get disconnect problems. Stock rom was fine too with BT before I installed CM5. Maybe you have some app that's interfering with it? Try killing everything.
I have an aftermarket parrot bluetooth car kit and its worked perfectly with every phone ive ever had: sidekick 3, tmobile dash, bb curve, g1, bb 8900, mytouch. and now with the nexus it says it pairs but wont connect. so its completely useless. and i live in california so i have to have handsfree. bummer.
What annoys me most is a) how this wasn't picked up during testing by Google and b) how they managed to break something that worked perfectly on the G1 and MT3G.
It has been submitted as a bug in Google Code, but that doesn't mean they'll fix it. Sad that I have to use an iPhone just to make calls in my car when I paid $563 for the N1
my jawbone prime works great..
sometimes i have to send a file twice to my mac, but it does send, and i can send from mac back to the phone
Really? My first, and ongoing, impression of the N1's blue tooth is that it's really slick.
It pairs with my in dash NAV on my '09 Jetta TDI before I pull out of the driveway, every time. Phone calls always work and the A2DP streaming is flawless, this is the first device I've seen it actually work and play well with -- consistently .
The sound quality is BETTER than my iphone through the apple A/V cable; with the iphone I had to put an audio filter inline behind the dash to suppress engine noise caused by a ground loop. I'm considering removing it now since blue tooth A2DP streaming would obviously be immune to this problem.
I couldn't be happier, personally. I can control playlists from the stereo head unit or the steering wheel while the N1 is in my pocket. It's been very reliable and has performed beyond my expectations... not to mention the "wow factor" when somebody realizes where the tunes in the car are coming from.
For me, the blue tooth performance has been an unexpected bonus... It wasn't a consideration when purchasing the phone but now I feel it's become a "must have" feature.
- Honda Car Kit
- Philips SHB7100
- Gear4 BlackBox
- two Desktop Docks
are working fine.
"Audio Link" sometimes has "clipping".
Pairs fine with my Garmin Nuvi 265WT, however ALWAYS drops a call around the 5 min mark. My G1 did the same thing with my Garmin Nuvi 680.
My N1 won't work with my 08 Nissan Xterra. Pairs just fine but won't transfer audio. This worked fine with my Samsung Blast, G1 and Cliq.
There is a thread about this on the google nexus one help forum but unfortunately I'm not allowed to post external links. I'd recommend voicing your problem over there to let google know this is a widespread issue.
I have problems with my BMW Bluetooth car kit. It connects, phonebook transfers, try and make a phone call and I get no sound. Receivers phone rings but no sound in the car. Once the phone call is cut the Bluetooth disconnect and won't connect until the car Bluetooth is turn off and on.
The Bluetooth on my old iPhone worked perfect every time. I thought Bluetooth had standards and should work with any device if it supports the profile.
How hard is it, especially for a company like Google to get it to work.
My Lexus bluetooth pairs perfectly every time, and usually the call will last a couple minutes before I suddenly get no audio going to the car, or the car may say "check handset". At that point, I have to click the Bluetooth button on the phone to switch to the handset. If I restart the phone it usually works fine for a while, then this happens again. I never had a problem with 3 other phones in this car.

I've got a BMW with a bluetooth kit and have similar issues.
The way I've overcome it is to always keep the bluetooth in the car "on" and on the Nexus "off".
When I get in my car with the key fob in the ignition, enable the nexus one bluetooth and it works.
It's a pain to enable/disable the bluetooth on the handset but it works until there's a proper fix for it.
Also i recently got Modaco's Desire Rom on the handset and found the above procedure works without fail.
One other thing I noticed since having the Modaco Desire ROM is that when you're in a bluetooth call all phone audio comes from the car speakers.
Never used to happen with the stock nexus rom or my previous Touch HD.
It's cool but would be great if there was a way to enable the bluetooth audio so phone sounds came through the car speakers without making a call.

I have a very similar issues with my Nexus One and my Lexus IS350. It pairs OK. But if I make a call, the cars display flashes "check handset" and then puts the call through. I can hear the other end, but they can't hear me.
This is a "deal breaker". Guess I'll be sending my Nexus One back for a refund.
I have been unable to use bluetooth to transfer files OR to tether.
I paired it with my MotoRokr speakerphone, and it paired fine, but I didn't use it to see if it actually works.
Regardless, there are obvious issues with the BT that need straightened out.

how did you that?? i have a 2009 vw
My Nexus one will pair with my computer, but it won't send or receive a file. It won't even go to the trouble of discovering my jawbone earpiece. I'm really disappointed since this should be the simplest of tasks that such a wonderful phone should accomplish. I thought it was just my phone, but seeing this thread makes me sad that that nothing has been done and hopeful that it's more than just my phone and, therefore, there's the possibility it will be addressed in one form or another.
Ok, I played around some more tonight with bluetooth.
It works with my Motorokr speakerphone great. I can talk, make calls, etc... works well.
I got the bluetooth tether working too.
I still have not been able to get file transfers working though. They look like they send, the phone thinks it sent successfully, but the computer says the transfer was interrupted. I'm not as concerned about the file transfer as I was about getting the tether working.
paired the nexus one to my '09 Nissan GTR ... works perfectly fine ... everything works as it should, calls come in perfectly each and everytime ... i do however, leave my BT running 24/7 on both the car and phone

Bluetooth Audio Quality

I paired up my new Focus with my 2010 Acura TL yesterday. As I was driving home from work and talking, the volume from the car's speakers ranged from high to low and eventually dropped the call. I thought it could signal strength related but I had 5 bars so I tried again. This time the call didn't drop but the audio was horrible. Since yesterday I've tried to make calls in several areas of town and the call quality is just not very clear. If I talk and listen normally through the handset, the call quality is good. I have an HD2 that doesn't have this issue so I am wondering if this is Windows 7 related...
i have a bmw and have experienced similar results at times. though i think my iphone did have its own set of problems sometimes also. i have noticed the increase/decrease in volume before, though. it would be nice to know the source of the problem. likely the phone, not the OS i would think. my phone has never disconnected yet.
i don't make a lot of calls in my bmw really, but i'm getting addicted to the WP7 so i don't really feel like i will be able to trade in and go back to the iphone at this point if the problem is with the focus and not just needing a software update. though it would be nice to have an answer.
I am also disappointed in the quality of the Bluetooth connection between my Focus and my Acura TL (2009). I had the Focus with the same car, and no problems with the Bluetooth connection. With the Focus, the sound quality is terrible, and I often lose the connection between the Focus and the car. Not a dropped call, this can happen with 5 bars, its the bluetooth connection that drops.
Has anyone been able to improve their bluetooth connection?
The bluetooth in my 2008 Altima is useless with the Focus. It's all garbled up and just unusable. My original AT&T Tilt was the same way. I think it has something to do with the Bluetooth stacks used in these phones. Sadly, Nissan isn't planning on updating the firmware in their handsfree kit for my car, so I just got a good Blueant headset. Not the ideal solution, but it's better than nothing since I drive a stick!
I use mine with a clarion deck. Works and sounds flawless.
I have an aftermarket Sony deck in my car.. Bluetooth call quality is generally good but when it comes to audio streaming..it's hit or miss. I'd say 50% of the time there is always a loud 'hissing' sound in the background which makes the music sound like I was playing it off an old cassette. Other times the music is absolutely crystal clear without any hissing or background noise what so ever..as if I was playing it off a USB drive or CD. I use Slacker to stream music or songs stored on the phone through Zune.. same thing. At times I have to reestablish the Bluetooth connection several times before the hissing disappears.
I use my focus with a Sony BT Stereo and works fine. And all the in/out calls works flawless. Maybe is the BT profile (if the stereo don't have AD2P profile, the phone works in mono instead stereo).
I have the same problem with the sound volume going up and down. 2006 Range Rover. I finally gave up on using bluetooth in the car. My orevious HTC Focus and my wifes iPhone both work fine in the car
I have the Sony MW600 Stereo BT headset and a 2010 Mazda 3, both work flawlessly

[Q] Spotty Bluetooth Performance?

I'm able to connect my Atrix to my JVC double din in car stereo system via bluetooth and it connects and pairs just fine. The problem I have is that the music "skips" or loses sound every few 20 to 30 seconds. It plays the whole music file but seems to drop out here and there. My old tilt 2 played on this same jvc beautifully using bluetooth. But the Atrix cant keep up? It happens no matter if I play music files through the stock android music player, or Power Amp player. What gives?
I also have a JVC Kw-Avx810 with bluetooth adapter installed. I have the same problem, for calls it works perfectly but for music its a bitt frustrating to hear music skipping each 30 seconds. Sometimes I am able to hear the music without skipping and that happens when I first play the music on the phone and while the music is playing on the phone I turn on bluetooth on the phone and the after 10 seconds it begins to stream the music to the Jvc Unit without any problem. I do that every time that I wanna hear music on my Jvc unit. Havent had any more issues so far.
I use it for my ford sync and at times it will do strange things that my nokia n95 never did but for the most part it works well...

I had a similar problem when I had my streak. It was because I was pairing Audio with one device and bt phone with another. If you are doing this it will cause that. I use my Sony stereo just fine, will disconnect occasionally, but quality is great.
I use my atrix with my prius, and so far so good.I haven't had disconnect issues yet.
I think it's something JVC could probably fix with a firmware update. The atrix streams just fine to both my Sony and Kenwood headunits.
I have the same problem.

The key terms: "Usable but not stable" , although it was not tested with Atrix, it is evidenced on both HTC and Motorola phones.
Great move JVC .. you've made your product useless to me and tarnished your reputation at the same time. Couldn't get your guys to write a new firmware ... Cant get me to buy another one of your products.
The same looks very like it will be true with Motorola's Andriod phones. Both JVC and Motorola will soon be wiped off my present or future ownership map. Woooo
Mine drops out/ goes silent / loses bt connection about once every 8-12 minutes when connected to my sony head unit (mex-bt5100). I turn off bt then back on, then restart my streaming radio.

I have a jvc double din unit too. I don't experience any issues with audio... however the phone is a bit garbled when connected.
Have you tried moving the bluetooth dongle to the front USB port?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
i Have a single DIN (AVX33), the bluetooth is built-in so there is no dongle.
I read quite a bit about this problem .. it is related to the phone hands free profile sending signals to the headunit in a way that the headunit cannot handle without disturbing audio. It is exasberhated by low signal strength (both bluetooth signal and GSM signal), and also by the fact some andriods will give equal transmit priority to these hands-free signals that it does streaming audio. This is why turning wifi off helps a little (reduces interference). The signals that are interfering with streaming audio are the ones about battery life, and GSM signal strength. As signal strength chagnes, the phone sends out a new value despite the headunit not needing to do anything with it. This is what interupts the audio consistently but irregularly
End result .. it can be fixed by software adjustment on the andriod (do not send updates when streaming audio .. unlikely with Atrix unless Moto gets their thumbs out of their asses), by software adjustment on the receiver (unlikely as JVC is a **** company that does not care about my woes), or by mitigating the problem as I appear to be forced to do. I do this by turning off the "phone" porition of the bluetooth. Or by starting the music and THEN connecting to bluetooth. Unacceptable to me but I have no other options.
I f**king hate how complex our electronics have become and how consumers are powerless to fix these problems DESPITE the fact some of them have a higher level understanding of what the problem actually is. (therefoer I will not be purchasing anything from JVC or Motorola ever again. They prevent me from solving problems and refuse to fix them for me.)

Crackling bluetooth

Hi all,
I have the Plantronics Discovery 975 bluetooth headset which has never given me problems before on previous HTC phones, but I now hear crackling whenever someone speaks...
Are there other bluetooth headset users with the same problem?
+1 voyager pro sametimes cracle sometimes no
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
We bought two SGS2 and two Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth headset at work. I got one of the phones and one of the headset and I'm having the exact same problem as you have. My other colleague who were happy enough to recieve the other phone does not have any cracking noise which is rather weird.
I even tried my headset connected to his SGS2, i had to make sure my head wasn't messing up the signal or something lol... and it worked fine, so it's something with the phone i guess.
In this thread they talk about KE7 having a new sets of Bluetooth profiles and what not. Perhapes Samsung recognized there was some bug and changed things around.. But i'm only guessing here.
In case anyone is wondering:
Yes, both phone and headset was fully charged when tested.
Yes, both phones and headsets were tested in the same room around the same time so it cant be interference from external sources as it didn't bother the other SGS2.
I'm using KE2 over here. I forgot to check what version my colleague is using but we got the phones the same day from the same store so I bet he is using KE2 as well.
Did both phones have WiFi enabled or disabled?
Come to think of it, I think i had it enabled on mine but not on the other phone. I'll try compare them again and this time have wifi off on both phones.
I had a 975 for about two weeks before I returned it. I wasn't getting consistent performance on either my G2 (HTC), G2X (LG), or Vaio P (Sony). I replaced it with a BlueAnt Q2 and didn't have any problems with the same devices. It works really well on the SGS2 for phone, media, and Voice Talk. The 975 also wasn't A2DP and I like to listen to music and audio on my headset sometimes.
I tried disabling the wifi, not sure if its just now or not but, it seems to be working better. I still hear the crackling noise every now and again but not like before. However i think i will keep using my SE MW600. It delivers more solid performance and the sound quality is better as well. Maybe it's because the MW600 supports A2DP.. i cant really tell.
HTC HD2 Tmobile USA I am also having serious crackling problems...to the point of contacting Plantronics to replace my Voyager Pro and pay $49 for refurbished headset. Distance to phone 2 feet and only getting 1 bar on bluetooth strength. Any sort of obstruction like moving head between headset and phone still at 2 ft away...noticeable crackling and 1 or less BT signal strength on phone. With Wifi enable crackling increases. Connecting to a linksys router just 3 ft away is quite fast but still only 3 signal strength. Turning off bluetooth causes a rise in wifi signal strength but zero bars if more than 10 ft from router. I hard reset but problems still existed.
Extensive research on the problem came across issues about bluetooth and wifi electronics on circuitboard are side-by-side and has something to do with the negative affect on each other.
Anybody have similar "crackling" audio or crackling sound and / or LOW signal when close to phone or wifi routers. I welcome any suggestions at this point.

Jawbone and bluetooth crackling
Hi,
I have a Jawbone Prime which I used for my iPhone 4, which was crystal clear, now I've used it a couple of times with my S GS2 and so far I'm struggling to get a clear call quality.
I thought it was the headset but I have tried it with a friends Advantax speakerphone and that happens the same, every 10 sec's it goes quite and crackles to the point that it's impossible to actual have a conversation!
My phone is only 3 weeks old is it worth exchanging it or will I get the same problem if its a software issue??
Help please
BTW I have just spoken to a lady from Samsung about this issue, to find out if it is a handset issue or software. After being passed around saying it was the headset, though I explained I have tried another 2 headsets, she now said my headset is not compatible.
When I asked her for a list of compatible headsets she put me on hold and then came back saying 'Please go to an accessory store to find out'.
I don't like being fobbed off but I believe Samsung are doing that to me and everyone else! I asked if they were fixing this issue, as there are other forums of this issue, she couldn't answer that question funny enough!
I'm now going to try another handset with my sim and the headset as I work in CPW, finger crossed!
I don't know if I am having the same issue as you guys. You are describing it as "crackling"? My connection falls into a state where the audio sounds as if the bandwidth is REALLY low. So the other person's voice is choppy - really fast choppy - I don't mean intermittent sound.
If I briefly transfer the audio to the phone and then back to the handsfree device again it clears up.
This happens in my car which has a Parrot CK6100 and also our BMW mini built-in bluetooth system.
I have a UK Orange branded SGS2 with KE2 firmware.
Could someone try doing the above and see if it clears up the audio?
As a side issue, stereo audio over a2dp works without problems so it is not a signal strength issue.

Better with wifi off, but still crappy sound.
I have been having a problem with my bluetooth crackling in my car for a very long time now. I did a search and found this very old thread. I wanted to bump it up to see if anyone else is having a problem like this and if there is any known troubleshooting steps we could take. As previous people have posted, stereo bluetooth works fine, its just on calls with my car that it intermittently crackles. I can toggle the connection to my phone and back to my car to clear it up, but who wants to do that? This happens nearly every call. I thought it was my car so I ignored it but I recently tried my phone in a different car and had the same issue. Ironically, I never have this issue with regular bluetooth headsets, only with cars. Anyone else have a problem like this?

No voice on GPS while on Bluetooth

I have a strange situation here. My GPS will only read aloud when I am NOT connected to Bluetooth in my car. If I am connected to bluetooth while on the phone but not actually using the Bluetooth, using the handset to talk on the phone, the GPS voice comes through the earpiece on the phone. The GPS voice works fine when I'm not connected to Bluetooth in my car. Does anybody else have this problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

I too had that problem. I recently was traveling for work and needed GPS in the rental car. I almost missed my exit because the nav voice wasn't working over the car's bluetooth connection. Calls worked fine but not the nav voice....

Under Bluetooth settings can you see if you are connected as phone and media or just phone? Every once in a while mine just connects as phone for some strange reason!

Ok, today I tried my phone with two different Bluetooth devices to make sure I got music and GPS out at the same time and I did so i know the S5 is capable of it. So check to make sure your devices are actually are connected as phone and media when paired next time just to make sure.I know my Motorola roadster2 sometimes only connects as phone even though it is set up as both, I usually have to reboot both the phone and and my roadster to get it to connect as both fir what ever reason. I hope that helps, if not I am at a loss!
I tested this the other day, and it works fine for me. I am using a Kenwood DNX8120 head unit, and it is connected with the S5 with both the headset and media bluetooth profiles. Note that the head unit needs to be on the bluetooth input for me to hear it since it is using the media profile for the GPS voice. If it is on another input (i.e. tuner, CD), you won't hear the phone's GPS.
Still nothing. I cleared my cars system memory and repaired the phone. The weird thing is that it was working when I got the phone a few weeks ago. It worked for a week, then all of a sudden stopped.
A tad bit late, but here nonetheless

I know this is an old thread, but I wonder if you were listening to bluetooth audio or not. If you weren't listening to bluetooth audio on your car radio, then you wouldn't hear the voice navigation prompts. Unfortunately I don't believe voice navigation works like the phone.
The phone will mute any audio currently playing and automatically switch to the phone.
The nav audio works through bluetooth audio only. It doesn't mute anything so unless you are listening to bluetooth audio you won't hear the prompts (they are there, but you aren't listening to the source where they come through).
I think the solution as stated was to turn off Bluetooth media profile so it only comes out of your phone and leave on bluetooth call audio profile so it comes through the car.
