On 2.1 (standard Vodafone stock ROM), when playing music it would pause while the sat nav was speaking out directions and then resume.
Now on 2.2 (Both beta and todays official release) the music will stop when the sat nav is giving directions but it won't resume afterwards.
Can anyone tell me if its just a fault with my handset, or if its happening to all 2.2 handsets, as it is a major annoyance for me!
Can someone please just test this out for me on their 2.2 phone (doesn't matter if its running stock or someones cooked rom).
This seems to work on OpenDesire (non-sense), but doesn't work on any 2.2 Sense roms for me :S.
Please can someone just test this on their phone for me?
Just play a song using the stock music player, they type a destination in Navigation.
Tell me if the music continues playing after the Navigation app gives you the first set of spoken directions.
If it does, what ROM are you running?
Yep, same problem for me on every new 2.2 ROM I have tried. This is a show stopper for me as I ride a motorbike and rely quite heavily on GPS navigation while I'm listening to my tunes!
I've found that media players such as 'Mixzing' don't have this problem.
This bug was in all the beta releases that were leaked, so im pretty disappointed that HTC didn't fix this before final.
Same issue here after upgrading to Froyo. Very annoying!
Im getting this too.
Stock HTC ROM, using the HTC music player.
Im wondering if its a bug as in, on every release, or just a b0rked install on a few peoples phones.
Same here. HTC Music player doesn't resume. It ceases to appear in the notification area when Navigation starts. Double Twist resumed without a problem.
Is there a fix for this yet?

Hi,
Have you news about this problem ? It's realy ...
It's a problem of Google Nav or app music ?
Thank you
I haven't tested it since this latest update, but the only fix prior to that was to use a different music player.
I successfully used this workaround using Mixzing.
Ok It's a good app,but I prefer the original app for music.
Good alternative but HTC must to update this, I think it's important for a lot of people
Thanks
Unfortunately, I updated to the OTA today (rooted version) to discover that all the quirks I had with CM6 RC1 exist in the official HTC 2.2 ROM as well. ANY solutions to these would be greatly appreciated:
1. Audio quality over streaming (Think Pandora or Slacker) is greatly reduced. I believe I read this being due to a different decoder being used now? Is there any way to fix this?
2. You cannot listen to music and use GPS+voice prompts. As soon as the GPS software talks, the music completely pauses, and will not resume. On 2.1, it would simply mute the music while it talked. This is ridiculously annoying! Any hope for fixing this? It doesn't seem to matter what sort of music, be it the actual music app, Pandora, etc.

Unfortunately that seems to break a lot of other stuff, like the video camera and some video playback. And I can't seem to find any info on the other problem either :/
So HTC still has not fixed the crappy decoder issue?
That would seem to me to be a HUGE issue-- apps like Pandora/Slacker/Last.fm are one of the main drawing points of a device like this.
I am on the leaked 2.2, and Pandora sounds fine to my ears, but Slacker and Yahoo Music sound worse then music you hear when being put on hold in a conference call.

I was directed here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9569 yesterday when I brought up the same issue on a different thread. Looks like it actually kicked in at the last OTA, not this one. Before the 1.47 ota, the audio would go right back to playing pandora after nav told you to take a left.

Yeah, it is a huge issue. I use streaming radio at least an hour a day. It's one of the top reasons I give people for owning the device. I'm really disappointed in Google and their apparent lack of QC for letting this type of bug through. Whether or not these apps can do something to fix it, no point OS update (2.1 -> 2.2, e.g.) should break existing functionality in this way. It's really embarrassing.
Hey guys,
Whenever I use my bluetooth JayBird Freedom jf3's
They skip audio while I'm in the weight room. At first I thought it was the headset, so I replaced it with a new headset. Didn't work and still skips.
I tried running different Sense roms and MIUI and am about to try Cyanogen.
I'm open to all ideas. I just wanna get a good workout without music skipping.
I have a Droid X (1st gen) running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC0-DROIDX-KANG. I have the same issue with music skipping badly while I am out walking. As soon as I stop moving and stand still, the skipping stops. I can sit and watch a movie on my Asus Transformer TFT101 with these and have no issues.
Any idea? I purchased these for my walks.... not to just sit idle.
Edit: I used the stock music player and PowerAmp version 1.4-build-387 Full version
Just update my Droid X (1st gen) to Cyanongenmod 7-08272011-NIGHTLY-DROIDX. The problem is worse now. Not only does the music continue to skip while I am walking.... now I have the bluetooth connection dropping. When the drop occurs, the music player pauses. I am going to try testing with my Asus Transformer TFT101 running Prime 1.7 rom and I am going to try it with my HTC Thunderbolt running the stock rom (non-rooted). I will post more later.
=---
Dave
Edit: I used the stock music player and PowerAmp version 1.4-build-387 Full version
Well... on the HTC Thunderbolt, running the stock ROM (Android version 2.2.1), (Baseband version 1.39.00.0627r), (Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g0606a3a [email protected] #1) the Jaybird JF3 Freedom works flawlessly. I have walked/jogged with no skips or pauses. Hmmm
Edit: I used the stock music player and PowerAmp version 1.4-build-387 Full version
BT Stack
Hey brah,
Thanks for the updates. I have tried a few more Sense Roms, and they are working great with my JF3's.
Specifically Kinged SHOOTER E3D: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203761
After further research online/cross posting in ppcgeeks, I have come to the conclusion that it is the BlueTooth Stack (BT Stack) that is problematic.
Most Sense 3.0 Roms have the better BT Stack.
However, these Sense roms are also terrible with battery life :X
Between low battery and skipping tunes. I've chosen Good Workout > Full Unplugged day.
im using hellkat the 2/23/14 build (I have t-mobile galaxy s2)...its a great ROM everything seems to be working fine except for streaming pandora via bluetooth.
When i start pandora (using version 5)...the music plays fine no issues. But when I turn on BT to stream to car or any other device the music just keeps skipping to next track (skips after attempting to play the current selection for about 10 secs....i say attempting because it stays on the current track attempts to play it but i dont hear anything and neither the progress_bar for song nor timer move).
Before Hellkat I was using BeanStalk 4.4.2 and pandora was streaming fine over BT.
Things I have tried to fix this none of these worked:
1. Turning off wifi then streaming
2. Went in to bluetooth setting > 'Visibility Timeout' > set to 'never'
3. Tried un-installing pandora and reinstalling.
4. Went into recovery mode, wiped cache/ delvik cache
I believe this is not a bluetooth issue because I can stream youtube audio over BT from my phone to external speakers/laptop/car and that works fine.
Is there a fix for this issue that I just can not find or is this known 'issue'? Any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks

Same problem here. I decided to switch over to Dirty Unicorn and everything works fine. Better battery life too. Unfortunately I could not post in the developer's thread to inform them of the problem.
similar behavior from other streaming audio apps
Have similar behavior on other streaming apps:
Spotify:
as soon as BT is turned on and connection is established there is no sound from phone or device the music is being streamed to. But the track does not keep skipping to next one like in pandora...its just silence.
if i turn BT off (on other device) while the song is 'playing' seems like the song status changes to 'pause' after a minute or so and if i press play ...music resumes with sound only from the phone.
Grooveshark:
If song already playing then establishing BT connection then nothing changes sound still comes from phone.
But if BT is established already then there is no sound from phone or other device. Until you break connection then press play on another selectin then sound resumes from the phone. I did a double check to make sure the volume was not turned down.
Rdio:
If BT is already established we get 'Media Player Error for {song}'
If we turn off BT and wait there is still not sound but it eventually causes reboot once it loops through a certain number of songs.
If you start rdio with BT off (turned off on remote device) then song starts with sound from phone.
If we turn on BT while a song is playing, connection is established but sound still comes from phone. But if you try to skip to next song, get Media player error again.
Having the same issue on Samsung exhilarate and cm 11 nightlies. It worked at one point in cm 11, but I can't pinpoint when it went awry...

Did anyone find the resolution to this problem? I switched to Dirty Unicorn and it works on and off. Sometimes it even turned off my bluetooth and I would have to reboot my phone to turn it back on.
Music Player does likewise
I have been using Avatar Rom for the last year or so and as most roms, it has its issues now and again. I am currently running the latest version based on CM11 and since I can't post on the developer thread I thought I would add my 2 cents here.
I have a set of bluetooth headphones and they work just fine except for recenlty on the latest kitkat verson of Avatar rom. It connects fine to the headphones. I can even start and stop the music from playing using the headset buttons, but when I hit play, the music progress bar goes full scale and hangs there for a time after which it advances to the next track and does the same thing. During all this there is no sound from the headphones. When I disconnect bluetooth it will then, after a time, begin to play the music from the phone speaker. I restored an earlier version of Avatar and tried it and it worked fine. I think it was a later version of Jelly Bean.
At any rate, it appears there is an issue with the CM11 KitKat. It may be KitKat all together. Since I haven't the posting history to post on the developer forum I decided to do it here. There was one post from someone on the develper thread that is having the same issue. Unfortunately the Avatar developement thread has very little activity and little or none from the developer. They are, however, still updating. At least they have a week or so ago.
Edit: Since there doesn't seem to be any immediate fixes for this issue I have reverted back to an earlier version of Avatar which uses CM 3.0.101 dated Jan 25th. This is working for now with the bluetooth headphones. I'll continue to use this one until such time as the issue is resolved or I find a ROM I like better.

I'm starting to think that the problem is with KitKat and not any specific custom ROM. I recently flashed The Collective and everything is working pretty good. The con to this is that the functions like "volume wake" is not implemented in this version
I also ran a search for "bluetooth" on each of the posts regarding new and active ROMs and it seems that their are very little mentioning of any fixes to this problem. It is as if there are little testing done regarding pairing the phone's bluetooth with the car's system. I would love to have this problem address but it seems that I don't have the correct amount of post to raise up the problem in the developer's thread. I hope this post catches developer's attention regarding this matter.
At the end of the day, I still love all these developers' work because without them, the S2 would've been dead a long time ago. :good:
Same issue.
Phone= Note 3 running TW kitkat on Tmobile
Connecting device: Ca-Fi Android head unit
Thinking its a Kit Kat issue. My head unit works fine when connected to another wifi source. Pandora never starts playing music. Just skips through songs.
I try streaming from phone to headunit over blutooth and pandora on phone keeps not responding. i have done factory resets, different phone roms, dns edits, congestion mods, network tweaks. same behavior regardless.
Fixed by turning off voice over LTE

This is incredibly frustrating. I had none of these issues with bluetooth on my S8+ whatsoever.
So one annoying thing that stood out was the bluetooth on this device. It keeps skipping and stuttering tracks whenever I play it on my Bose QuietComfort 35. It's normal on all my other wired cans but I usually use the QC35 alongside my phone during commutes.
Just to clarify, I'll list down all the "fixes" that I've tried. Obviously NONE of them fixed, or even alleviated the problem.
Cleared cache (this one just doesn't make sense imo)
Removed battery optimization on my music apps
Turned off WiFi & Bluetooth scanning
Switch Bluetooth audio codecs
Updated to 4.7.6
and PLEASE... if you DON'T have this problem, do NOT post how you DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM here, I'm looking for fixes, not jokes. Thank you.
I also have a QC35 and I don't have any issue but I post anyway
Joking aside I'm using 4.7.6 and my QC35's firmware is 1.3.4 and using the HBC codec.
What's your bose firmware ?
What do you use as a music player ? (I'm using the default Google Play music)
And what do you mean my "It's normal on all my other wired cans" ? Why would wired headphones have stutters ?

Everything's the same as you except I use PowerAmp as my music player and SoundCloud for streaming (both stutters/skips as well). I stated that I didn't have this problem on my wired headphones just to clarify.
I notice the problem most when I'm commuting and I have mobile data turned on. It went even more haywire when I downloaded something on Google Drive. Hopefully it gets addressed with Android Oreo and the official Bluetooth audio codecs being implemented.
Oh bad me I read the you said it was normal to have stutters while being red... Night too short.
I'll trying PowerAmp to see how it goes.

I think it has something to do more with the connections. It goes even bonkers when I'm moving around rather than laying in one place.

I think I saw somewhere it's an issue with aptx HD, try to force Bluetooth codec in advanced settings to aptx or sbc.

I just said that switching Bluetooth codecs didn't work.
I'm having Bluetooth quality issues as well, particularly crackling and skipping. I noticed that if I download a file while streaming the quality will drop dramatically and the audio stream will crackle like crazy. I have tried all three codecs in nougat to no avail.
Should I upgrade to Oreo to get this sorted? Do custom kernels cause issues with the quality?
Thanks.
OnePlus 5t, theOne 7.1.1 (stock basically), viper4arise and Dolby
Update: when into EX Kernel Manager (specifically under the misc I/O settings), and change the I/O from ZEN to FIOPS. Not once has the music stuttered since, though I have only tested on SBC. If I get more results I'll bring them in.
Please note - I am on blu_spark, and I honestly do think it may have been the cause of the bluetooth skips/scratchiness. I turned off Dolby Atmos and Viper just to be sure.
Latest Oreo Beta build. Stream bluetooth, Pandora, iHeart and talk on the hands free no problems here. Lexus CT200h vehicle.
Would really check your cars manufacturer website. Most have a section where you can download latest firmware to a USB and flash your car to ensure you have the latest bluetooth firmware.
Working flawlessly on my car.
Anyone have any experience with the Oreo update?
Since updating to 4.7.6, I've experienced the following issues:
despite being connected to a bluetooth device, sound still comes out of phone speakers
static/distortion for a few minutes when initially connected to my car (2017 Chevy SS)
Upon connecting to car bluetooth, randomly the phone will call my phone number
I can usually fix these issues by either going into airplane mode for a minute or two or rebooting. Sometimes, I have to do this multiple times.
I've cleared cache but made no difference and I don't want to have to factory reset after every single update. Is it possible to flash factory images without nuking your data? You can do this with Google's Nexus/Pixel factory images.
I've got a different problem with 8.1 and BT audio. After upgrading to android 8.1, suddenly my car audio system doesn't receive songs data (artist, song, album). It's just display "no title".
Does anyone encountered similar issue?

Ugh, exact same issue. I don't suppose you're using a car with a UConnect system in it? Dodge, Jeep? All those crappy brands?
I am able to make phone calls just fine but I can't stream audio to save my f**king life. This happened right after the upgrade to 8.1 and latest update did nothing to fix this nor did it mention the issue. Has Oneplus even acknowledged the issue?
Im actually having the same exact issue, with Uconnect on a 2017 Chrysler 300s. Bluetooth skipping and sounds like crap. Have tried pretty much everything so far and no fixes
this what happen to me ...bluetooth to speaker klipsch ... sometimes got crack sound ...i mean wtf
Has anyone been able to figure this out? I'm still experiencing issues as well. OP5T and QC35.
I've been working OP support for almost 2 months via email and the cannot figure out how to fix this for be BT CALLS sound terrible,
I'm having problems with Bluetooth in a ford fiesta 2015. The phone is on 8.1.0 stock, no root. The device itself connects to the car perfectly, but fails to download the phone book, and says I loose signal when trying to make a call. The device registers that I've asked to call a certain person but nothing else happens afterwards.
I didn't have this problem on 5.0.4
