Help me with my Bluetooth problem

Recently flashed my tilt 2 rodium to energy rom. Everything works great except the bluetooth, for some reason the range sucks on it. If i move more then 6 feet from the phone and the headset, quality starts to get choppy. Never had the problem with the other phone. Any idea, or fix maybe??

any help would be great

I'm not personally familiar with that ROM, but some of them may include a different radio than you had in your stock rom, and that can definitely affect BT performance. If you have a new radio in there now and are seeing issues like this, you can try out different radios to see if one gives you better results. Info and instructions HERE.

[Q] Looking for ROM with working GPS and Bluetooth

I've been using Incredibly Re-Engineered and noticed that the GPS isn't fully functional for navigation. It can get a rough lock on me but it won't give me turn-by-turn directions spoken as it indefinitely searches for GPS. Skyraider Athena before this also gave me issues with GPS and Bluetooth. I was wondering if this is a phone-specific issue, if its the kernel, or if it's time for a new ROM?
On a side note, could it be the EVO framework that Re-Engineered is based on? I'm not sure about the differences between Inc, Z, and EVO ROMS besides themes.

Try INCRom, stable, fast, good battery, looks nice too. Everything works too.

I have no issues with GPS on Redemption Rom 2.3. It locked in quickly and works pretty good but it is a battery killer.
Also.....the GPS commands are NOT sent out over Bluetooth. I thought that was very odd. I struggle to hear them over the sound of the car and I don't want to blow out my phone speaker.
Maybe you have a phone GPS issue. I was reading somewhere someone else was having similar issues with their DINC.

What car do you drive that you can't hear it? It is plenty loud enough for me.

I drive a Camry.....maybe its because I'm OLD!

Give Incredibly re-Enginereed 2.3.2 a try, nothing but success with it and really good battery life, especially with juice defender on it.
As for the differences in Inc, Z, ect.. Its kinda a theme thing, but Z for instance is based on sense 2.0 i believe, Inc on 1.0, and otheres are sensless. I believe the listing of roms in the development sticky categorizes them.

Another good one is Evervolv. Has a different look, runs smooth and everything works great!!! thats is if your ok with aosp roms

Custom Rom failures, need opinions

Im using OMFGb and it works fairly well but there are a couple things that really bug me and Im wondering if all the roms do this.
1, I use wired headphones to listen to music and sometimes to talk on the hone if its noisy around me. When you use a wired head phone the mic on the phone wont work.
2 when using Blue tooth if you disconnect from the BT the mic is disabled and wont work unless you end the call and call over. You can see how these things can start to piss me off after a while. Especially since one of my cars is a standard.
Is there a rom that has this issue solved??

I believe that is all AOSP ROMs. Its something in the programming that hasnt been flushed out yet. I dont know of any of these problems on a Sense based ROM.

Agreed, I jump back and forth between the AOSP and Sense based roms. I only have the issues you stated with the AOSP's.

So Im not crazy Why dont they address this issue, I love the AOSP roms but I cant have those issues. Yesterday I used Skyraider and was able to use BT and headphones without issue. Battery life didnt seem as good, I will watch it the rest of this week.

Try out TSM's sense-less rom. It looks like aosp, but is flawless like sense. The battery life is great too.

where do I find that

[Q] How is bluetooth working on your ROM?

I have searched, read and googled but don't feel as though I've gotten a solid response because of the rather light usage of Bluetooth with most users talking about it. The reason for posting this is that I've tried multiple ROM's since I got the phone a month ago but have found that the Stock ROM has been not only the least of a hassle but also the most reliable in terms of connecting to the proper devices. The only thing I really use my Bluetooth for is connecting to my car stereo, a Sony, and I've continued to have problems with the ROM's that users have reported stable use and while I know mileage varies, one of the largest issues I've had is maintaining a connection using the various music apps.
Now, I know they've said they're waiting on source and that some have been fixed but I was hoping to find someone who uses the stereo connection as frequently as I do (daily use for my drive to and from work, about 35 minutes each way, as well as normal driving to SF during the weekend). I don't heavily mod my phone nor do I use a ton of apps, my use is pretty much text/phone/music with the occasional youtube video and of course browsing the internet.
Here are the ROM's I've used (eventually returning to stock due to a lack of reliability with Bluetooth):
CM10
CM9
AOKP
Paranoid
Leaked JB \
I've had the most luck with these 2, Bluetooth connection is recognized quickly and super reliable
Stock /
I'm not looking to flame, be flamed or stir up a hornets nest, just looking for input from those who are using the current nightlies because when I flash roms I tend to do full wipes to avoid issues so I'd like to minimize how many times I flash =)

I use freegs3 and Bluetooth works flawlessly.
May be asop thing.

I've never used it before, would you mind naming a couple of things you really like about it?

Since it's tw based you get all the tw features, basically all the main selling points of the phone.
It's smooth, stable, great on battery.
I got tired of aosp and aokp roms having hit or miss functions when I had them on my og epic4g. I feel Samsung did touchwiz right this time.

I couldn't agree with you more, I was pleasantly surprised at the smoothness of the new TW

I use Stereo Bluetooth running the BlackBean ROM and play my tunes via PowerAmp. It connects fast, never drops, and sounds great. When listening to my Motorola S305 headset, I can go well over 100ft away from my phone with music still playing loud and clear!

I use FreeGS as well. I like it because graphically, it is stock (I'm not a fan of the color themes), but under the hood you have lots of tweaks for better battery, accurate reporting of your data connection, etc.
I have no problems with my Bluetooth, either.
I wonder if it IS an AOSP issue, since solo the ROMS you mentioned were AOSP...

Through radio waves and magic!

You know, honestly I'd never made the connection but you're absolutely right..I actually believe it to be an AOSP issue.
I'm using freegs3 now and it's been absolutely fantastic.
I'll take a look into Blackbean, for now I'll continue testing out freegs3 until I become unsatisfied =P

[Q] Custom ROMs and Bluetooth Range

I would like to use a custom ROM on my TMO LG G3, but I'm finding Bluetooth range to be horrible. With stock, I can use my headset within about 30 feet of the phone, and my Android Wear works throughout my home. On custom ROMs, I can't even keep the phone in a pocket on the opposite side of my body from the headset without having signal disruption.
Anyone else having this problem? Any guidance other than sticking with stock?
Thanks

I think this is a known issue with AOSP roms. Yes I have that issue also with my Plantronics Pro Legend. You need to stick with stock for any kind of range.

Bummer.
