[Q] Kinivo BTH220 problem - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

When I use these headphones through my computer or my wifes Nexus S, they work perfectly.
Unfortunately, when I connect to my X5, there are constant breaks in the audio which render the headphones useless. I am currently using a CM7 rom but I've tried stock 2.2 and 2.3.5 roms, in addition to a custom 4.1 rom. All have the same problem.
Any suggestions on what I can do to try and fix?
Thanks

Same on galaxy s 4g and kinivo headphones

I get the same behavior on a rooted and custom rom on my samsung galaxy s 4g. I'm interested if you find a solution. This morning it seemed wind caused the the headset to skip while playing audio. Inside it seems to be fine.

Bluetooth crackling w/my JVC Car Stereo [SOLVED]

My JVC worked fine with all my other phones.
But with the S3, I get lots of crackling sound whenever I use bluetooth from the SIII. I still get the music, there is just crackling that goes along with it.
I've tried stock ROM and several other ROM's & kernels, including AOKP and CM9. No change in the problem at all.
Gonna take the SIII to AT&T tomorrow to have them replace it, unless someone else has a better suggestion.

I've owned 3 different android phones and have experienced crackling in high frequencies with every single bluetooth device I've tested. Headphones, car audio docks, portable a2dp receivers... all complete sh1t. This is due to A2DP audio compression codec which producers these artifacts when audio stream becomes too complex for it to handle. No worries tho, as SGS3 now supports aptX A2DP codec so I'd suggest you start looking into bluetooth receivers that support aptX... or, just stick with good old analog audio over the 3.5mm audio cable. Many years of fighting A2DP and always come back to this rock solid solution.
Thanks, guys.
All my other phones were also Android.
If the replacement phone has the same problem then I'll try a newer car stereo and look for one with aptX support.
Also having issues
I have the same issue with my S3 and both my JVC car receiver and my Rocketfish headphones. Any other options besides upgrading receiving devices (my car receiver is very new)? Any possibility of changing the codec that is being used?

Only gripe ive got at the moment is altho it came with flash player installed it doesnt work ive tried updating it from the adobe archive page but the settings page is just greyed out, maybe someone on here can fix it which is why i just joined

I've got one, I think it lacks good video drivers.
Bad synk audio video, stuttering video.
It has a diffrenet wif/BT chip compared to the 802 but same SOC (I think) so the custom roms from the 802 work but you get no wifi & BT.
The BT exists but does not work with my mouse, it pairs but nothing more, I think the original ROM lacks BT mouse support.
I would say a 802 with working custom ROMs is a much better deal for the moment, but this could change anytime soon or never.
I've had one for a while and didn't use it that much until I flashed finless bob's rom for the imito mx1/2, which has the same basic internals. It is much smoother and faster than before, but this could be partly attributed to the newer kernel this rom possesses.

Sound Quality: TW vs AOSP

I have loaded several different TW roms on my gs4, and only Tasks AOKP for aosp roms. I have noticed the sound quality in AOSP is horrible compared to TW. I first noticed it when I plugged it into my car radio, it sounded muffled and muddy. I tried playing with the settings, even bought faux sound in hopes it would help but it did not. I plugged my friends iPhone in and played the same song to see if it was my radio... It was not. So I loaded a backup of a TW rom I had and low and behold it sounded just as good as the iPhone, just slightly quieter, turning the volume up a little and I couldnt tell the difference. I loaded the backups of TW and AOKP roms back to back with my headphones with different songs to see if I was just dreaming, but there is a huge difference in highs and lows, base sounds underpowered and starts crackling in AOSP. Faux sound didnt help anything, tried playing with the equalizer, and it never sounded anything close to the TW rom. I was going to try and load CM 10.1, but have not done so since they are still on nightly's with no RC or final builds.
Now I know AOSP uses open source drivers, so is this the problem? Or am I missing something that could be causing this?
EDIT: AOSP DOES NOT HAVE APT-X.
---------------------------------
Use APT-X on AOSP instead.
Otherwise, I can't comment on bluetooth since I only use the APT-X codec. But Task has stated in the past he does not care about bluetooth audio.

I think the exact opposite, my phone sounds better on AOKP then TW. Are you setting all the equalizers up properly?

I'm using the headphone jack to physically connect it on my car, so its not the BT. I'll look up APT-X, doesnt sound familiar to me. And as far as I can tell its setup properly. I looked up settings that several people suggested. I'm open to trying your settings if you want to post them.

Setting the volume all the way up on your phone while its connect to aux may cause distortion. Set it at least 3/4th of the volume bar and control the rest via the headunit.

No problem with distortion on TW rom with volume all the way up. Also it doesnt really explain the headphone issues.

Oh sorry, I thought I read that you were using Bluetooth.
APT-X is the high-definition version of Bluetooth. Comparable to using the headphone jack for audio quality, but with less noise.
If you want the ultimate in audio quality at the expense of some convenience, then try to find a USB DAC that works with the S4. I'm not sure if there are any yet. But they're worth it if you think you might be an audiophile.

How do you use the APT-X codec? Is it part of one of the custom ROMs? I was under the impression that only the international version supported APT-X.
This has been my experience with samsung devices in the past as well. They do a good job with sound quality in the stock software. If you go to a AOSP type ROM, you need some other sound application to improve quality.
EDIT: AOSP ROM'S DO NOT HAVE APT-X.

All Samsung Galaxy S3/S4 TouchWiz and Google Edition ROM's have had APT-X since the Galaxy S3.
All you need to do is find a Car Stereo or a Receiver that support APT-X and then connect by Bluetooth and it automatically uses the APT-X hi-def codec.
Since I never found a Car Stereo that supports it (still new tech) I just connected an APT-X bluetooth receiver to my car stereo. So my phone connects to the receiver. Then the receiver sends the audio directly to my car stereo via 3.5mm audio cable. I hide the receiver inside my dashboard behind the car stereo.

GE 4.3 Bluetooth impressions

For anyone wondering the sound quality for Bluetooth is 1000 times better on 4.3.
I tested this on 3 different stereo headsets with beats enabled and disabled. It is extremely noticeable how much HTC/Google improved Bluetooth quality on the latest update.
This makes me so glad as Bluetooth quality with 4.2.2 was extremely lacking.

Is it better than the bluetooth A2DP support in the sense version of 4.2? because I use that dialy in my car and have been waiting for them to improve the quality or mods to this effect since I got the phone. I would install 4.3 and give up zoe's just for this.
OK just got done doing a side by side comparison with a stock sense HTC one, and quality is about the same.
I did notice that enabling beats on a stock HTC one has more bass than my GE but not much.
On a clarity and volume level they are nearly identical.

I just noticed something a bit ago. I was cleaning out my garage and listening to some music using my Motorola S9 HD stereo headset, and took some garbage out to the road and the music was not cutting out. I left my phone in the garage and the road is about 100 feet away from where I took the garbage. I have never had this kind of range before.

Can anyone confirm if the sound quality is comparable to using A2DP with aptX on Sense 5? I currently use the HTC Car A100 Bluetooth dongle for streaming music, and when I was on the stock Google 4.2.2 ROM it sounded horrible.
Can we finally use Dualshock 3 controllers???

I use a Belkin bluetooth audio adapter and the sound is comparable (4.3 GE vs 4.1.2 sense). Don't know about 4.2.2 sense though. I don't have a custom stereo but it is a decent stock system. Is there a way to see if you are running adp?

I think I'll go ahead and test it myself and report my findings. I can connect the HTC car adapter to a pair of headphones, which should give me a good comparison environment. My new car also has built-in Bluetooth with support for A2DP, but since I've had the HTC car adapter for longer, I figured I'd be better off using the HTC adapter instead.
For what it's worth, Sense 5 using either 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 has the same sound quality since aptX is present on both, but I think CSR's "CD quality" claim about aptX might be bogus. I spend most of my time streaming Google Music at 320kbps (a.k.a. high quality) in the car, so if the Google ROM can stream ~320kbps over A2DP without the need for the proprietary aptX, I should be fine.
The Bluetooth on 4.3 is still using SBC instead of aptX, and there is a noticeable drop in audio quality when doing to 4.3.
However, it isn't really a deal-breaker for me. I'll probably end up just running an aux cable to my phone instead.

Noise in headphones since kitkat

good morning, I have a problem with my g2 since upgrade to kit kat, when I plug the headphones I hear a noise, without playing anything, when I hear music or youtube also
headphones are not I've tried several, another Spanish forum there are more people with this problem ,hard reset don,t solve it
when I was in jb with viper4android my g2 was perfect
to hear only have to unlock the phone and connect the headphones, anyone else hear it?
thanks
I have the same problem. Howeveri after not using the phone for 1-2 hours the noise is gone. I can use the headphones without any noise.
After a restart, it comes back and goes away.
The volume of the device decreased after the KK update. I think it is not a bug. With PA or CM it was lower too. (4.2.2 stock has high volume level)
I thought this issue is only when using external amp which is the reason I reverted to 4.2.2. It's a shame Kitkat has this issue otherwise, I could have been very happy updating to KK. Hopefully, there will be fix available soon.
Same problem here. Which KK rom did you flash? I used the pre-rooted one. Could that be the problem>

Hmm..makes me question whether to upgrade to KK when it's out on VZW...
This morning i downgrade to jb until this problem be solved

I thought this is kitkat problem. I have used my friend's HTC One (unrooted) running Kitkat and to my surprised my USB DAC/Amp worked with no problem and no additional app needed. The static and hiss are not present either. Perhaps HTC had done some modification/improvement on their ROM.

I have it too :crying:
LG G2 good phone ruined by LG & their crappy software!
I have the same problem with the official HK rom.
I notice with earbud headphones the problem is not there. However with some proper Sennheiser headphones the audio is terrible and can barely make out any music over the static and crackling.
I'm using Logitech UE6000 and it's pretty bad, much worse than with the included lg earbuds. But with high enough volume it becomes almost not noticeable, still it's clearly something wrong here..

Since upgraded, I have the hissing issue with the left ear phone and I thought I could get away with it with my external dac. Unfortunately, it does not work anymore. The same dac was working perfectly prior to the upgrade on D80210d stock rom.
Anyone has the same issue? I am using xDuoo xp-1.
the hissing/crackling sound is a bug in kitkat which is already known, although I haven't heard it since I installed kk a month ago so I can only comment according to what everyone has said
There are stock based custom ROMs out there with a fix for this if you don't mind flashing.

I haven't stumbled on a fix, so you will have to search
I use CloudyPro II. The best thing that ever happened to my phone. Hissing sound is fixed there.
It isn't based on LG G2 stock. It is based on LG G Pro 2 stock but it's very smooth and everything seems to work. It's very similar to stock LG G2 and has all the LG apps.

Well CloudyPro is indeed good and solves the hissing sound issue.
The downside, as with many custom roms, are random reboots. For me about once a day or so.
Pretty annoying each time.
