Bad Bluetooth Audio Quality - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

So I love my note thus far except for one problem. It would appear like the galaxy s and galaxy s2 it suffers from bad bluetooth audio quality. While it doesn't sound bad when paired with my headphones, it's horrible when paired with my car stereo. My phone is my main source of music in my car so this is a pretty big problem for me. Poking around in the GS2 forum it seems the problem only really gets resolved when they install a custom rom that is not based on the stock samsung, like cyanogen because it uses its own bluetooth stack instead of the sammy one. So basically wondering if anyone else has a problem, if any dev's have plans to tweak anything in custom roms for this problem... or if they can, or if anyone has any other ideas.

The same problem. Music over bluetooth sound terrible.

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..

Bad A2DP bluetooth sound quality

I recently got me a "Miccus BluBridge BBMR-02" bluetooth receiver to listen to music in the car. I noticed that music sounds a bit distorted. Kinda like if you use AUX input and make it too loud. If I lower the volume it doesn't help.
Now my friend with his iphone 4 connected to the same bluetooth adapter and his music is crystal-clear
I've tried few different roms (CM, stock, Redemption, etc) but they all have this issue. Is it a known issue or it's just my phone?
so your saying you need compression? Have you tried a rom that has DSPManager installed. That app does amazing things.

I've noticed on all of the ROMs that I've installed...with the exception of the Desire HD port...that if I launch whatever music app I'm going to use before the bluetooth headset is paired, I get a choppy audio.
Also, on many of the ROMs out there...there's an audio problem that has been described as "devil's voice." It has to do with how audio is processed in Froyo versus how it was done in the past..."stagefright" I think it's called. Most ROM chefs have a fix for it.

Bluetooth Audio Quality

So some people have been complaining that bluetooth audio quality (when listening to music) is bad. Other people chime in and say theirs is great. So I'm wondering if one of the kernels or versions has better bluetooth auido than the others or if that's even possible. So I was hoping some of you guys could post if you think you have good or bad bluetooth audio quality and which android version and kernel that is on. If I find everyone with a certain version says their quality is good, maybe I'll try to switch to that one.
I'm on android 2.3.5 kernel KJ4, I would call my bluetooth quality bad.
No one has any input?
Everyone has his own opinion on audio quality.
The stock rom has a bad audio performance,but you can improve it by using cm dspmanager and libcyanogen-dsp.so
It will make the sound awesome.
Hi
I am also very interested in getting the best audio quality on my bluetooth headset... but i don't now anything about "cm dspmanager and libcyanogen-dsp.so"...
could you deliver me a more n00b friendly explanation how to solve this problem?
thanks in advance

[Q] Bluetooth headphones - Low sound quality

Hey,
I just switched to WP7 from ICS and noticed major issue (for me at least). My Bluetooth headphones had awesome sound quality on Android and now It really sucks. How can I fix that? Used search function but didn't found anything useful about this issue.
PS
I have Creative WP-350 headphones.

[Q] Bluetooth audio quality

Is there any way to fix the bluetooth audio quality other than switching to a CM-based ROM?
My old phone over bluetooth sounds fine. My S4 via a wired connection sounds fine. My S4 over bluetooth sounds like everything was sampled at 32 kHz. All other equipment is the same, so I'm relatively sure it's a bluetooth-specific issue. My girlfriend's S4 does the same thing.
So, any fixes? I'd really like to avoid switching to an aftermarket ROM right now.

Random guess: Could this issue be caused by the adaptive sound feature? I'm not a true audiophile, but I haven't noticed a problem through my receiver in the car or at home.
Try playing something with cymbals and a lot of treble. Turn the volume up a bit higher than normal while still maintaining a reasonable level. The cymbals sound like someone is smacking a plastic grocery bag with a stick instead of being crisp and clean like they should be. I can then disconnect the S4, connect my old phone, and play the same mp3 without any sound distortion. Or I can play the same mp3 from the S4 via aux and it sounds fine.
Try it on both bluetooth and aux. If you truly don't notice a difference, I guess it must just be my phone. If it does do it however, you definitely don't need to be an audiophile to hear it.
My old phone had the exact same problem until I moved to JB on a CM build. The problem there is well-documented as existing on the S3 (try looking up bitpool settings), but I kind of figured they would have fixed it by now. I'm coming from the world of HTC, so I was hoping there is a fix for Samsung.
Sorry to revive this thread, but I have an update.
My car has built-in bluetooth for phone only, so no a2dp. I have a third-party bluetooth adapter that I'm using for music.
I've found that when both of these are connected, the audio quality (especially on trebles and guitars with distortion) is absolutely terrible. That was the point of my original post. Since then, I've determined that this happens ONLY when I am paired with both my car and my third-party bluetooth. I can actually pair and unpair from my car in real time and hear the audio quality immediately get better/worse. The quality gets worse immediately when it pairs, even if the car bluetooth is not in use (but still connected).
I've verified this is the case with both my phone and my girlfriend's S4. Can anyone with such a setup verify this does or does not happen for them? I'm thinking this is a bug with the bluetooth stack, and it'd be nice if it could be fixed. If anyone can try pairing to two different devices and confirm my problem, I'll start a bug report with Samsung. Otherwise I'll try another bluetooth adapter for a2dp.
