I noticed while driving around, cursing my new TP2 for continual dropouts in WMP audio playback, that the dropouts usually occurred at the same time that a status indicator changed in the task bar.
Here is the fix (that seems to make a huge difference for me):
Turn off WiFi!

Hi guys,
have just noticed a strange behaviour of the FM tuner - when listening to music and another sound is about to be played (like system event, etc.) the radio listening is completely interrupted, another sound plays and then FM radio starts again to continue with playing. I would expect to hear the radio in the background all the time even when other sounds are called, interrupting the radio listening is really annoying and you end up with closing the radio application and starting to MP3 listening then is there any other FM radio app, tweak or another suitable solution?
I am having a problem streaming A2DP music. On some of my songs there is static when streaming to my sound system. When I used another phone (myTouch 3g, and iPhone) the sound quality is perfect without static.
Has anybody noticed static on some songs (mostly songs with a lot of guitar and voice going on at the same time)?
Is there anything I can do to edit the blue tooth and stop the static? Maybe a tweek/hack? Its not the worst static, but I am picky when it comes to music quality.
Thanks!
Install SRS WOW HD 121 and fiddle around with the settings. You have to search for the cab yourself. It will improve overal sound quality and maybe let you reduce static.
ive had that problem as well sometimes what i would do is turn the headset off and then back on 1 or 2 times and then its gone i think its just a bug
I installed the srs wow hd 121 and couldnt find the file to fun it. also, i would get an error when trying to enable bluetooth. because of this I uninstalled the program.
I reset my phone many times and it still didnt stop. the static seems to be getting worse. I cant even find a a2dp key in the registory.
do you have a cab by any chance for it?
Thanks
Hello everyone.
I was hoping I could get some guidance as to what to do about a problem I'm having with streaming audio over bluetooth.
I have my Incredible with the (latest?) radio version 2.15.00.07.28, running CyanogenMod 6.00-R3.
The problem I'm experiencing goes like this:
I have an audio track (I've tried many).
I can play the track normally through the phone speaker or headphones using the default music player, MixZing, or any other music application.
Then I connect to my Motorola T505 Bluetooth car adapter.
Upon starting the track, it will only play about one second of the track at a time, before pausing for about a second. The track timer pauses as well. It feels like lag of some sort, as if the application is slowing down because of the bluetooth connection.
If I disconnect from the T505, it resumes normally.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I've searched but have yet to find anyone with a similar problem.
If there is any further information you need, let me know.
Thanks for your help!
This may not apply to you on CM6, but on my stock Dinc turning wifi off fixed the BT stuttering.
Is anyone having problems with their bluetooth locking up? I am getting various issues that all seem to be related to the bluetooth. I routinely connect to a Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth speakerphone in my car and stream music, mostly Pandora but sometimes google music or other players.
This morning I turned on the speakerphone and immediately watchdog told me that bluetoothd and pandora services were both stuck at 40% each. I hadn't even launched pandora since the last reboot. Had to restart the phone.
Other times I will go to turn on the speakerphone and it will not connect. I try to turn bluetooth on and off. It shuts off fine but hangs turning on. Usually about 30 seconds later the entire phone becomes unresponsive and I have to restart it by holding power. Putting it in and out of flight mode does the same thing.
Still other times I will shut the speakerphone off or walk out of range and the bluetooth icon on the phone continues to show connected. Sound may or may not come out of the phone and the volume control says bluetooth audio. Again restarting bluetooth locks up the phone and requires a restart.
Lastly sometimes bluetoothd and/or pandora will randomly go haywire and hang with high CPU utilization.
Anybody else seeing any or all of these symptoms or have any ideas. I am rooted and have the 2.3.6 update. Pretty sure the problems were occuring before the update, not sure about before the root.
Thanks...
Yes I am having similar problems when using bluetooth to connect to my home based panasonic DECT phone system. A reboot of the phone does repair the issue. It seems to occur every 24-72 hours, if the phone is not rebooted. My blackberry connects via bluetooth to the same panasonic phone system without issue. I suppose it could be a problem between multiple bluetooth devices. I suspect it is a SW bug though, because a simple reboot has always resolved the problem for me.
Do you have pandora installed? I uninstalled it yesterday and haven't had the problem yet. Did plenty of streaming with Google Music.
One thing I forgot to add. When the device says that is connected and sending out audio over the bluetooth, such as music, but it is really not, I get a moment of audio out of the built in speakers before it turns off.

Yes....we do have pandora installed...and now that you mention it; I believe it is quite possible that we only have the problem when we run pandora after a reboot. Because for the past few days there has been no issue. And I believe during this time I have not been using pandora. If it is Pandora...hopefully a future pandora bug fix will repair the issue.
Since I uninstalled Pandora I have not had a single lockup in almost two weeks. I guess I'll message Pandora and see if they'll fix it.
Edit - Looks like they may have fixed it. Crossing fingers.

Really annoyed at myself for taking the upgrade to 4.3 as now I have an issue with bluetooth that I cannot figure out. Bluetooth audio to my reciever was perfect before but now it has the same problem no matter what app i use (tune in, xiilive, standard media player etc)
Basically the phone sends the audio but the speed varies. Like a song will play normal speed, then maybe speed up for a second, then the audio cuts out for half a second and its back to normal again. This will stream fine for maybe 5 seconds and again, any audio will speed up a bit, and cut out. Its only happened since 4.3. Anyone else have this problem or know of a way to fix it?
Well a bit of an update on this. It turns out it doesnt skip with music thats on the phone. So the stock media player and mp3s etc stream totally fine. Its just with audio that is streamed via apps like winamp, Xiilive, Tune in. They all have exactly the same problem as described above. However, the only way I can get it to stop skipping and run normally is if the screen is on and I am in the Wifi networks setting page. Its fine then, until the screen goes off, then it starts to skip again. This is so annoying now. Is it an android issue? Not connected to bluetooth through normal headphones or the Note 2 speaker, all these apps are perfect.
