A2DP issue?

Until today, I've been using my nexus one to play music in my car with no issues ... I got the galaxy tab car mount yesterday so that I can use my tablet. I noticed that the galaxy tab will 'skip' while playing music over Bluetooth. I haven't noticed anyone complaining about this....
Rooted T-Mobile galaxy tab
Sony xplod mex-bt2800
Like I said, works just fine with my nexus one. Does anyone know why it would 'skip'?

Thats odd, I had this issue with some old android phones when wifi was enabled and playing music through bluetooth. But I havent had that issues with the vibrant or the tab. The old phones would skip when it scans for wifi networks. I forget where the setting is, but you could adjust how ofter it scans for new wifi networks which would decrease the amount of skipping. Try turning off wifi while listening via bluetooth and see if the issue goes away.

Yep I noticed this the other day when using the Tab to send music to my car stereo via BT, very annoying!
I also have an HTC Desire and it doesn't have this problem...

I listen to audiobooks several hours each day and the tab does not skip for me.
Except between the chapters because the headset shuts off for half a second but i can prevent that with another app that plays sounds and has its own mixer which i set to 0.

@schmolch, It doesn't skip when I'm using wired headphones or the speaker, only when Bluetooth is involved.

That seems to be the issue... I disabled wifi, and experienced no skipping this morning (50 minute commute )

Bluetooth car connection: works, but no sound

Hi everyone,
I picked up my GSIII yesterday (SGH-I747, Bell version from Canada). The phone is a champ, but so far I found fairly serious problem. My car has bluetooth phone functions built in. I paired the phone with it, and it pairs just fine. I can receive and make calls from the car just fine as well, but there is no incoming or outgoing audio. When connected to my car's bluetooth, there is no audio going through my car's speakers or through the phone. It is only when I grab the phone and unclick the "bluetooth headset" button that I can talk on the phone. If I turn "bluetooth headset" back on, there is no sound again. My car worked with my old Blackberry 8330, so the car is fine. It's a 2009 Mercedes-Benz B200, fully loaded, Canadian spec. It has the AUDIO 20 system built in.
My phone specs are as follows:
-stock ROM, not rooted or anything (do we have root yet?)
-Baseband: I747MVLLE8
-Build: IMM76D-I747MVLLE8
The GSII seemed to have the same problem when it came out and it was fixed with a firmware update (http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/5212-Speaker-and-mic-problem-when-calling-someone.)
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Did u by any chance turned down the volume on the phone?

Bluetooth worked fine in my car. Made a call. And they could hear me and I heard them. This with a Kenwood hdx6980

Yeah Bluetooth works on my CD player also

after pairing did you go into the bluetooth setting for the paired device (car) and check the "call audio" box?

Nope, I checked the volume and everything is turned up the way it's supposed to be.

Yep. It's checked. Moreover, if I uncheck it, the car doesn't connect to the phone.

I'll check my calling this morning, but yesterday I had streaming audio via bluetooth (audible playing a book). The only thing I noticed was that, unlike my old myTouch 4g running CM7, the book didn't stop playing when I turned the car off. That's something I'll have to work out.
EDIT - it's only audible that gives me a problem - looks like a specific app issue.

I'll l have to check if my calls work. All my music and podcast work good. They stop when the car turns off and starts up again when I start the car the next day.
Edit: Just tried it out and incoming and outgoing call sounds work great. No issues here.

I have absolutely no issues with incoming and outgoing calls through Bluetooth in my car. Also, I have no issues playing music through Bluetooth. Possibly try a factory reset on your phone and try again...

It sounds like all your cars support A2DP for playing music. Mine doesn't, it just acts as an old-school bluetooth headset. Can that make a difference?

Mine plays perfectly using Googles Play Music streaming service, also calls work fine, too. This is on my Dodge's U-Connect.

Update: I tried with an old jawbone headset to see if it's a general Bluetooth problem or just specific to my car. The jawbone works like a charm, so it's not a problem with Bluetooth versions or anything like that. But I did notice something interesting: in the Bluetooth options in the gs3 the jawbone comes up with a picture of a phone handset beside it whereas the car has a picture of headphones. I think that's the problem: the phone recognized the wrong Bluetooth profile. I can't seem to delete th car off the list of Bluetooth devices. This is rreally irritating. Any suggestions (short of a total reset)? Thanks!

You might see if there's an update for your car's Bluetooth... if so that might fix your issue.

No go so far. I'll have to try a reset, otherwise wait for an update or some custom ROMs.

Update: I still haven't done the reset, but I went to the Mercedes dealer today. They told me (after almost a day of investigating) that Germany said that the GSIII is forever incompatible with the B200. I think that's pretty dumb because the problem is clearly software, but the dealer seems to be washing its hands of this matter.

Call from Nexus 7 using phone over bluetooth

So im really lazy and am looking for ways make life even simpler. Is it possible to make and receive phone calls coming to my gnex but answered/ sent from my n7 over bluetooth or something? Also I dont know much about google voice so i know it may be possible through that but id prefer to still use my same verizon phone number.
Thanks

tablet talk works great for calls and texts. i've got it on my vzw sgs3 and N7 and it works great. well worth the $3 in the play store

Unfortunately I am currently on an iPhone :-/ is there a way/app to achieve this with the iPhone and Nexus 7?

But can you make/answer phone calls? I have found plenty of apps that allow you to text but im trying to make phone calls from my N7 but routed through phone using bluetooth

there has to be a way to do this

tablet talk doesn't allow you to actually call with the tablet. it allows you to control calls to and from a bluetooth device. I believe grooveip works pretty well for direct calls but you have to use your Google voice number

Google Voice and click to call
Using Google Voice, which I use for Text messages, and the click to call feature will have your phone ring, once answered the number you called will begin ringing.

Im looking for something that modern day cars can do. You can answer a call through the cars system using bluetooth and can also make calls through your phone but using the cars system to initiate the calls. So the technology is there for the phone and bluetooth but i cant find a tablet app.

Tablet talk initiates.
Youre not going to be able to use the tablet as a blue tooth device to talk through.
Tab initiates call....phone makes the call...you talk on your BT headset.

I just tried free version of Groove IP initiating and receiving Gvoice calls, and it seemed to work just fine. Thanks for the topic! I'd been meaning to figure this out too.

BT mic connected to the tab

I guess I don't know enough about how Tablet Talk functions or how BT works so this may sound really dumb, when you use Tablet Talk does the phone call and mic pic up get routed through the tablet? If so is it possible to connect the tablet to the phone with Tablet Talk AND have a BT mic connected to the Nexus 7? The idea would be for me to be able to have the tablet's output go through my car's AUX in and use the BT mic connected to the tablet for tablet voice commands and as the phone pickup when used with Tablet Talk essentially making the tablet the only thing I have to control in the car while driving.

I'm looking to do the same thing. I just installed a Nexus 7 as my "head" unit replacement in my car. Its great, but now looking at using it as other OEM's do in the car world and simply connect via bluetooth to the Nexus 7 to make and receive phone calls through my cell phone carrier. It does seem obvious this would be an existing app. Lets hope someone is watching and comes up with an app for this!!!

Why would that even be an issue nowdays with any smartphone ? Maybe you need to ask if anybody has any issues pairing with their car, not the other way around.

understood - but given that there are so many smartphones and so many cars with BT, it just seems that there are more problems than success stories. I've mostly heard/read of only problems, not when it actually works as expected the first time. also, folks usually post to indicate that there is a problem and wondering how to fix it.

I have a JVC KD-X50BT in my car and had no issues. Turned on bt on the phone and it paired automatically. Calls, audio, song and artist info, and Pandora info.

bluetooth audio from phone to nexus 7

I have a nexus 7 mouted in my car, and i have a Motorola razr maxx mounted.
My nexus is connected to the car stereo with a mini jack for playing music etc.
Is there any way to transfer all sound from my phone to my nexus?
Before i got my nexus, i connected my phone with the mini jack to car stereo, and it acted as a handsfree. Thats why i need this

No, I don't think you can stream from one device to another like that without a Wifi connection. I think there are apps that will allow your 2 devices to connect to each other, but again, you would need to be on a network for it to work.

Tablet talk can be used to control phone calls and messages from it tablet , but it doesn't send voice to it speakers , you will need to use a Bluetooth speakerphone .
Or you can install a jvc x50bt and have phone audio to our car

How can I do this with WiFi?
An app that would let me remote control spotify android to android could also to the trick I think
