I use a Sony MW600 bluetooth adapter to listen to music and podcasts, but every couple of minutes there are brief 1-2 second dropouts. This happens with both Google Play Music and BeyondPod, with content stored locally on the phone or on the LAN. If I pluf my phones directly into the phone I don't get the dropouts.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Try different roms. Not much else you can do about it.
This my 3rd ROM and I got the same problem with all of 'em (Stock, Phoenix and Goldeneye). I'm guessing it's either a hardware or A2DP protocol problem :0(

First Post, Hi to all.
Hardware:
I have just purchased an SPV M3100 (HTC TyTn) and I think it's great I want to use it to play music from my MP3 collection which is shared over the LAN and output the music to my new bluetooth A2DP speakers (Accoustic Energy)
Software:
The PDA is running WM5. I have installed V-mobile Software Network Browser which adds a network folder to the system and allows me to map my Computers MP3 shared folder as a network drive on the phone (This works a treat).
I am using CorePlayer as my media player as this is the best one I've found, it plays all my music and also my divx/xvid movies.
Problem:
I can play music straight over the network using coreplayer fine from the phone (WIFI & BT both turned on), but when I connect the BT speakers I get stuttering. Occasionally it seems to work fine, but most of the time the music is really broken up.
I can play music straight off the phone and send to the BT speakers and it works great, but only if WIFI is turned off.
It seems that the phone is maybe struggling to run WIFI & A2DP simultaneously, which is a little bit annoying.
Plea For Help:
Is there ANYONE who has tried to do this on ANY PDA? If there is, was it successful or are you having similar stuttering probs?
PS. I have tried the A2DP bitpool reg hacks with no luck, and even tried the 802.11g wifi hack in case it was a wifi bandwidth problem.
If Anyone can offer any suggestions or advice I would be most greatful.
//not sure if I posted this in the correct thread, it might be better suited to accessories?
I switched from a Blackberry to an HTC TD2 and now am not able to walk around stores with music running through my Bluetooth. Is this a known problem with HTC or am I missing a setting. I looked everywhere and didn't see a setting that changes. Also I'd like to be able to watch Coreplayer with a Bluetooth but, just like music, I hit the button to activate Bluetooth, I hear the sound, and 3 seconds later it reverts back to speaker.
is there a fix that would help me?
FTR: I know Bluetooth Headset is not optimal for listening to TV or music but I would like to do it anyway.
I have multiple Bluetooth and none of them work for this purpose.

Working so far tyvm
I bought a bluetooth car kit to play music with. When I first paired the device to my phone, all 3 the media buttons worked (play/pause, forward, and back). The next time I used the kit only the play/pause button worked.
Knowing Samsung sucks at everything, I didn't waste my time disconnecting/reconnecting. I plugged the phone into the ADB interface and watched the system log in DDMS. What I found was really confusing.
I plugged the bluetooth kit into a 12v source and connected the 2 devices. I played some music off my phone and watched the log as I presses some buttons. In the log, the button presses were actually showing up in the log with the right scan numbers but the media player just doesn't respond to anything other than play/pause.
If I try different combinations of connecting/disconnecting I can get the media buttons to work but 90% of the time they wont. WTF is happening T_T
I have not had that trouble with my bluetooth head unit. I have been using Pandora and Mixzing. I only have issues with audio dropout and it seems to disappear (stop dropping) after the connection has been used for maybe 10-15 minutes.
It worked perfectly with my Samsung Omnia.
I found out that the bluetooth controls only work when the media app is in the foreground. If I'm on the home screen the controls will be ignored. If I have pandora open on the screen, pandora will be controlled.
This is annoying and I wonder why nobody else is having this problem.
I understand your frustration. And if I may, I would like to add this question:
Does anyone have a handle on the interrelationship between the Epic 4G, wireless headsets, and AVRCP music players?
My rooted Samsung Epic 4G is running 2.1 and has the stock ROM.
I’m looking for a compatible MP3/Wireless headset combination using either the Motorola S9-DH or S10-DH, or the Rocketfish RF-MAB2. So far, I am unable to do everything the headsets say I should be able to do, that is, answering a call and having the player resume (both headsets get this far) and also controlling the MP3 player, i.e., allowing for track skipping, pausing, etc.
In short, I do not have control over an MP3 player’s basic functions from a wireless headset.
I have tried both the Motorola and the Rocketfish. While the Motorola does not see an MP3 player at all, the Rocketfish does control an MP3 player’s volume level.
The following MP3 players were tried: stock Epic player, Winamp, PowerAMP and MortPlayer Audio.
I am open to suggestions. I am not wed to the Motorola or Rocketfish, but I am comfortable with the way they sound and fit.
OR...would you buy the headset you like, work the MP3 player manually (not a good idea while driving) and tough it out until Froyo addresses the issue of Bluetooth connectivity?
Thank you.
Hi
First i have to say is SORRY about my english. I'm learning and i don't want to use a translator.
I have a Nexus One connected to my handsfree on my car. I have a Ford Focus. Well when i try to listen some music on it, stock music player star to play and stop, start and stop anbd i don't know why.
I have flashed many times OxygenN1 mod and for all other things the rom is perfect but i don't know why do this.
I have to say to, if i try to play music with another app it starts to play normaly while stock player is playing on the buttom so this is imposible to listen anything.
Thanks for all.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
All I can contribute is that I am having the same problem.
I am using a Bluetooth headset to listen to podcasts - this is one of those headsets that supports the A2DP profile for playing music etc., as well as the normal headset profile for phone calls. I don't have the problem when taking calls, just when listening to music/podasts so I suspect a problem with the A2DP profile implementation.
You are probably using that same profile in your car.
I wasn't sure if it was the phone or the headset that had the issue - sounds like it is probably the phone if you are having the same issue.
For the record, i have the AT&T/Rogers Canada version of the N1, with 2.3.6.
A couple things to begin troubleshooting:
1. Try using your phone with a different vehicle. It would be helpful to try pairing your phone with a different car's Bluetooth stereo, and see if it works properly (maybe a friend with a recent car?). If that works, then the problem is with the car stereo.
2. If you have a friends with other smartphones, try having them pair with and play music through your car stereo. Hopefully a pattern would emerge: maybe your exact ROM doesn't work, maybe it's a hardware quirk in your phone itself.
3. What media players do you have installed? I occasionally have conflicts between players fighting over the Bluetooth connection; Pandora and the stock player used to fight, but now they play nice. Notably Pandora has a section in its settings that tells it whether or not to take over Bluetooth controls. This sounds like it might be the reason for your second problem (if I understand you correctly).
4. You might also want to try a different firmware, maybe one that's either closer to stock or further. Maybe try the stock firmware first, then maybe MIUI.
5. What year and model is your Focus? Sometimes (rarely) there's a firmware update for the car stereo.
If the stock player is starting and stopping by itself: first try uninstalling all other media players and see if it still happens. If it does, it might be that the car stereo is sending pause keypresses, which it shouldn't. There might be a defective button on the stereo, or maybe a quirk in the stereo firmware.
Hopefully some of this helps narrow down the problem. Let us know if you get any results, hopefully we can help find the problem!

Are you using the headset for both podcasts/music and taking calls? Or using the headset for part of it, and another Bluetooth device for the other?
I just ask because I once tried leaving my voice-only earpiece for handsfree talking while listening to music over the car stereo. I had them "working" configuration-wise (the earpiece took only calls, music went only to the stereo), but after a little bit the phone would sort of melt down and lock up. It was probably running turn-by-turn Nav at the same time that did it, still it was cool while it worked
There are certainly bugs in the A2DP and AVRCP profiles, but I understand the implementation is kind of complex and there's a lot of corner case problems. Personally, our stereo displays the artist & album names, but always says "Paused", and the title and time info and just random numbers.
About the best you can do is try to isolate your specific problem, then try to find where to file a bug report. CM is probably the most responsive but most resource-strapped for fixing corner case problems, Google is at the other extreme and never really replies to bug reports. The stack itself is written by the BlueZ group (which I can't link, you'll have to Google); I've never tried submitting a bug report there, as I suspect they wouldn't be interested in hearing from a 3rd-party Android ROM user.
This might sounds odd, but try turning wifi off and see if that solves the problem.

try downloading ES Explorer (this has a player built in) browse to the audio files and select play in ES media/audio, I could get music to play through this but not the stock player because it would keep stoppping after a second or two.
I just joined the 21st century and got a car with a BT enabled stereo. After nightmare connectivity issues I gave up for a while but I've started trying again. It SEEMS like, as long as I'm listening to music stored on the SD card, I'm fine. As soon as I start trying to stream from Spotify or something the BT connection drops frequently, and reestablishes itself sometimes. Anyone else had this problem?
