Poor bluetooth signal - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, i am on Helios V2 custom rom (B890). And I have very poor bluetooth signal. I have a speaker Tracer Powertone BT and it connects trough bluetooth. Sometimes it takes even a few tries to connect. Sometimes it doesnt even connect. But when i connect everything seems ok. After 3mins of listening to music it starts to lag a bit, then it goes more and more and finally signal cuts of. At first i thought its a speakers fault. But i connected my fathers phone (galaxy s3) and everything worked perfectly. No lag and s***. What should i do? I am thinking about installing stock rom. But i dont know which one is the best.

Bluetooth Streaming Audio from Pandora to Car skipping

unfortunately when i connect bluetooth to my car radio the music skips about every 15 sec. very annoying. Anyone else having the problem.
I have an iphone 3gs that doesnt skip and works great. I love the Evo but bugs are continually showing up.
Its your internet. Try updating your prl.
i did update the prl before i tried it.
still does it.
I have a bluetooth reciever for my AVR and I noticed some skipping as well. Not as frequent as you are saying but if I moved more than 10' away it would be rather bad. The Bluetooth range seems to be poor. In a car I can't imagine you having a problem. I have heard of some issues with factory bluetooth.
I had same problem till I decided to turn off my wifi.. and it started working fine.. it just doesn't have to do with Pandora, its will any Music that you stream over Bluetooth..
Just turn off your wifi and it will work fine.
Thanks
Or just place your phone somewhere else in your car. Bluetooth has very lousy range (isn't it like 10 feet in perfect conditions?), and as such moving it a foot or two somewhere else could make a world of difference.
Its definitely not the internet. I could be at home in wifi with phenominal internet it even laying it off of my SD card. If im in a vehicle or on a bus, its pretty solid and works really well. I walk out the bus and walk around either to m next bus or to work and it fails to play for more than 4 seconds without skipping. And its not like a short, nuisance of a skip. It often stays skipped for up to 3 seconds at a time. Completely unusable. Happens however i connect my phone to any a2dp device. Tried tweaking the /etc/Bluetooth/audio.conference file as suggested in a couple nexus one/s sites, but unfortunately seems to be specific to those phones. This is making me hate this phone. Every other phone I've had in the past two years does this just fine. Whyis it having such a hard time with such a simple task that others have done perfectly? Even other Roms work better but i like also better than sense anyday. Maybe its a kernel issue?. I really want this fixed. But it seems like no one is even trying to work towards a solution. Not on the surface anyway.
Did you try turning off your wifi and any other unneeded services? The only time I have had skipping over bluetooth is when I have my wifi on as well, other than that it streams smoothly through my car stero and computer over bluetooth.

This.
If that doesn't help, then if possible, you should use an aux in cable to prove it's only a bluetooth issue. If it still skips, I'd try a new rom and/or kernel. A2DP performance seems much improved in CM7 compared to Sense roms.. or at least it seems better to me.
I've had the same skipping problem with my bluetooth earphones and evo. The only slight solution that I've had was holding the phone in direct line of site with the bluetooth earphones. When I do that, it doesn't skip as much.
Streaming bluetooth audio to car stereo
Thanks Anku13, your fix works. Just installed a Clarion CZ501 bluetooth receiver in my car, experienced skipping audio every 15 - 30 seconds once my Leo connected/streaming. Killing WiFi was the trick. Love not having an AUX cable lying around in the cabin.

[Q] Bluetooth Question, multi-android build issue

Hey,
I have been playing with Android for a few months, and still not very good at it.
But one thing i noticed, regardless of the Build (think i have so far all used sd card builds, A darkstone v3, then another, now currently on CoreDroid v.8 i think). May have been another one in there.
This is my bluetooth issue.
My new Camaro and all the builds, so far, seem to work nicely kinda;
I can answer the phone from the car or phone. I can make calls, and have it routed thru the car. My bluetooth stereo, ADP2F? (or what ever it is called, for transmitting stereo via bluetooth) works fine on the car, and headsets.
The one thing i consistently notice, if there is not a constant stream of bluetooth data or packets, the car and the phone seem to disconnect. In translation, if i am listening to music etc, the connection is fine.
If i pause music, and just let driving directions transmit using navigation only, the connection probably times out and disconnects. I am forced to continually reconnect...while driving trying to navigate, makes navigation a royal pain in the A*^*.
Is there some setting to prevent time outs or disconnects? is there a patched file to load, to give me a choice to not disconnect a connection automatically?
thanks
I would also be very interested in a response to this!
I'm experiencing a very similar issue. I've also tried many different Android builds/kernels/SD/NAND and even different WINMO Roms and Radios.
Mine is a little bit worse though in that without exception, the bluetooth on the phone will 'break' after 1-2 days - meaning that it will spuriously drop a connection and will no longer function after that, i.e. will make a connection but will drop it less than 30 seconds later.
The only way I have found to fix it is to reinstall the android build.

[Q] Bluetooth Audio Dropping in Car

Happens a few times during my morning commute. I'll be listening to a podcast and using Waze, and the audio from both drops.
Bluetooth is still connected. At this point I can wait it out (usually a minute or two) ... or turn BT off/on again ... both usually resolve the issue.
It's happened since day one - and my previous phone (HTC Inspire 4G, running stock and CM7) never had this problem with my radio.
Anybody else having this problem? Any suggestions on a fix? I know Goog changed the BT stack in 4.2 to improve "reliability" ... but this is driving me crazy.
I've been using my bluetooth regularly in my car (09 TSX) and not once has it dropped/stopped playing music. Whether I'm streaming from Tune-In or just from the Play Music app it always works. In fact it worked for my 3 hours road trip this past weekend without a single issue!
No issues with phone calls either.

I just set up bluetooth in my car yesterday. The audio and call quality is great, but I did have it drop out once. When it dropped out the phone locked up and I had to reboot in recovery. I'm running completely stock and have not rooted.
Try turning off WiFi , mine was cutting out whenever a wireless network became available. I turn off WiFi when I get in my car and have had no issues since

[Q] Bluetooth Connects but sometimes no Media Sound

I have a Nexus 4, still running 4.2.1.
I use bluetooth headphones with it which generally work. However, sometime they connect and media sound still comes out the phone speaker,
Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't help. The awkward trick I've learned is to run the Vonage phone app, and make a phone call, which some how turns the media sound on in the headphone.
There has to be a better workaround than that.
I know there were some bluetooth fixes in 4.2.2, but I don't want to upgrade until I've tested LTE which rumor says is coming next month in Atlanta.
No replies? I can't be the only one seeing this.
I can be a little more definite. It seems that on the first bluetooth connect from an ad2p device after a reboot, media sound still goes to the internal speaker. As I mentioned above I happened on a terrible workaround. If I invoke the vonage app and place a call with it suddenly the bluetooth device takes over the media sound.
It's painful to have to make a call just to kick the bluetooth headphone into media mode.
I don't know if it is the same issue, but my ad2p cuts out sometimes and won't work until a reboot. (It still shows up as working, and sound stops coming from the phone, but...) On 4.2.2 here.
I'll have to give your placing a call trick a try.

Bluetooth on 10.3.1 is unstable

I've installed 10.3.1 and have a Samsung S3 Gear connected usually. I have trouble connecting to my car and keeping a stable connection. The connection drops out from the car. Is this a known or common issue with 10.3.1? I then tried to put the phone on speaker and then the phone keeps trying to send audio to a bluetooth device and won't just stay on speaker. anyone have similar issues? know any fixes?

No problems here, I use a Bluetooth FM device in my work van and it works fine.
I also have a Jabra 65t set that work great,
never had any problems through many updates both stable and beta.

I have Jabra 65t as well and they work great. It's the vehicle Bluetooth in the Nissan that has been really sketchy I guess. I'll look into that as needing to be addressed then.
The other odd part is that even after I hit speakerphone, the phone tries to revert to Bluetooth.

No issues for me. Phone stays connected to my Fitbit no issue, and streaming music in the car and over earbuds works great for me.
No problems also for me
I have no problem connecting, bluetooth works properly. But I think that the bluetooth is switching on late as if it was turning on faster before, I made a clean installation.
i had a clean install, i did clear cache for the bluetooth system app and decided to just move on and have since installed lineage. bluetooth works like a champ with lineage now.
