What caused issue: newest cyanogen mod update
After updating from CM 7.1.0-RC1 to CM 7.1.0 my Bluetooth stereo in my 2011 toyota camry (when connected) only plays the mp3 (Music) player on my EVO. If the mp3 player is paused, no audio will come through from anything on my phone. All other applications, be it handsfree phone features, streaming apps, Pandora, youtube, google maps don’t come through the stereo. If the audio player is being played, other apps’ audio can come through.
Now I know the Cyanogen team messed with the Bluetooth stereo because my car stereo now displays the mp3 track names and it never did before the update. I would gladly forgo that feature to return Bluetooth audio normalcy to the rest of the phone. Even stranger, on my dad’s 2010 Lexus es, which has an older version of Bluetooth stereo, EVERYTHING works just fine! This makes me think that this is an issue related to newer bt stereo models.
It could be a while before the Prime comes to Sprint, also could be a while until CM gets ICS working on Evo supersonic.
Please help.
I am experiencing the same problems exactly as you described with my 2010 Toyota Camry. I have only been able to get the "stock" ROM with the "stock" kernel to give me full functionality. Even with the stock rom, if I upgrade just the kernel, I get the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? I have been researching on the various forums and the internet and have not found a solution yet.

O.k. this is my first thread on XDA, gotta say...love this site! Heres my request. I have a Pioneer Z110BT nav unit in my car which supports AVRCP 1.3 to allow track and artist text to be pushed while streaming audio over bluetooth. However I think the EVO only uses version 1.0, so I'm only able to use the pause, play, stop, ff, and rewind features on the nav unit. I saw somewhere that eclair added some support for version 1.3. Is there any chance of someone getting AVRCP 1.3 working on the EVO?
AVRCP only works sometimes
Alright I'm bringing the thread back from the dead because I'm having bluetooth problems myself. The problem is my AVRCP (the bluetooth function that allows external control of songs) only works sometimes with my bluetooth car stereo (Sony Xplod MEX-BT2900 and my Sony Xplod MEX-BT2800). I get into my car with the bluetooth radio on my stereo and my phone, the phone will connect completely (media and phone), but I will not be able to control music playback function from my cd player or steerling wheel control. Then I will do a complete soft reset and the AVRCP will work flawlessly (i have complete control of playback without touching the phone). My question is why does this do this? Why does it only want to work sometimes and not others? You can see my setup below. I do have Pandora installed but I went into settings and selected Bluetooth for Automotive (OFF). I'm using music installed to my SD card through the stock htc sense 1.0 music app. I have not tried google music or anything like that. I do have tune-in radio and iheartradio installed. It has done this for a bunch of different Rom's and kernels including stock. Is the stock sense bluetooth profile garbage or what?
I don't believe its your phone I have the same issue with a Droid x 2 and the bt2900. Mine will also leave a paused message on the head unit with music playing. I believe its a Sony issue.
Just wondering whether anyone else has connected their phone (I have a HD7) to a car kit or similar?
Here's my experience with Parrot Mki9100.
Using the parrot controls:
Most things work. Play and pause work, voice control works either by syncing your contacts to the parrot or by not syncing and then using the phones voice control.
For some reason if you pause the music you cant press play on the parrot kit again, you have to go back into the phone to press play.
Forward and back for tracks works, the skip forward and back doesnt.
Of course you can control from the phone however you want. I'm sad that the promised voice control of the zune interface didnt come through.
But the biggest problem is a slight crackle with the music. It's not a massive problem and I've not used any other devices so it might be that I'm expecting too much of bluetooth a2dp and i'm happy using it like this. But at certain types during songs which have lots of guitar going on you get a crackle.
I was trying to work out if it was the phone or parrot, so i've connected my phone to my laptop, playing music now and the same lovely crackle. Anyone else experienced the same?
Thanks and hope this was helpful to someone
I just connected mine to my car for A2DP as well (Samsung Focus). It streams music fine but my play/pause/skip controls don't work (they did on my WM 6.1 device). I also have the same issue of having to use the phone to resume after a call.
I get the slight distortion as well at HF (just from tweeters). I believe this is b/c A2DP includes compression in the protocol (its not full 20-20k bandwidth). Its only on a few songs for me and something I can live with.
I am experiencing the same thing. However, the bluetooth stack on wp7 is way...way better and works with parrot better than any of the previous wm versions.
Whats the trick to play music on an external bluetooth speaker? I have the samsung hf1000 and i would love to play music on this while riding my bike, any suggestions? If im playing music and i launch the voice command to dial a phone number the speaker will play the music while waiting for a command. so is there a way to set the phone to play all sounds on the external speaker (bluetooth)?
wow guys no response. im sure im not the only person that plays music from there smart phone via bluetooth to an external speaker
I am interested also as I hope to use my Moto T505 with my car stereo. This is one thing I didn't test prior to ordering.
You wanna know why you're getting no response? Because you're posting in a forum that is completely and totally unrelated to the phones you're asking about.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
BT on my G2 worked on my car's all-in-one head unit.. meaning all sounds (and music) plays thru my speakers.. but for some reason, the audio on it keeps cutting/skipping.. i doesn't do that with my iPod BT adaptor when its sync'd to my head unit.. but im not sure that was a first time error since i only connected my G2 to my head unit only once.. i'll test tomorrow maybe.
Well, I've been using InsertCoin-Vision v1.3 ROM (which in my opinion are among the bests) on my T-Mobile G2. With this ROM and with VIRTUOUS FUSION ROM by rmk I have no problems with the bluetooth A2DP.
Nevertheless, I had a A2DP bluetooth problem (reported here forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-G2/Post-OTA-Update-BlueTooth-issue/td-p/542367): when I connect my phone to the car stereo player (JVC AVX-33) thru bluetooth A2DP the audio cuts out and skips all the time when the music is playing (I use PowerAmp application). It happens with almost ALL ROMs, no matter if it's stock, CM6, CM7, xboarders or RMK's (Virtuous G-Lite for example)... except with the VIRTUOUS FUSION and InsertCoin-Vision (v1.2 or 1.3) !!!!
Well, I'm very happy about this fact, but I'd like to know if you could explain to me the difference between Virtuous Fusion or InsertCoin-Vision (where the problem is solved) and Virtuous G-Lite or Cyanogen7 (where the problem occurs) in terms of bluetooth libs, config, etc., that could have solved that problem.
By the way, I used to listen music with the same car stereo and my old Motorola Milestone and I had no problem at all.
Thanks in advance and excuse me to bother you with this kind of question.
Best regards,

I have the iBolt car dock which transfers audio through USB to a 3.5mm audio cable to my JVC car stereo.
When docked, the stock media player and Pandora and everything else play audio to my car speakers just fine.
But PowerAmp does not play any audio this way. I get silence only.
If I undock, then PowerAmp does play through my phone's internal speaker.
PowerAmp seems to be the only app with this problem?
I'm running Serenity 1.1 JB ROM.
Any ideas? I'm new to PowerAMP, even bought the $5 license since I like to support the apps I use and I've heard nothing but good about PowerAmp.

I have the same Problem with my Galaxy Note, running Cyanogen 10.1 (recent nightly). Also, when you turn off "USB Audio when docked", music is played through the phone's speaker. I've tried multiple ROMs, but this is the first one i have this problem on. All other ROMs were at most Android 4.1.
So i really like 4.2, but i like Poweramp more. So does anybody have any news for me?
I did not find anything related in CM releasenotes or Poweramp forums.
I just read the official release thread of cm10.1 for the N7000. It says that dock audio is not implemented/buggy. So i'd rather not blame Poweramp, but the yet to be implemented dock audio feature.
Does anyone know why bluetooth functionality changes so much from build to build? I update CM10.1 about every week or couple of days and the only thing I notice change is how well bluetooth works.
I have a JVC KD-R730BT headunit in my car that has bluetooth audio and Pandora support. Some builds breaks bluetooth, sometimes I lose bluetooth Pandora functionality, once I even got music information to show up on my deck using google music, sometimes it all works fine.
I guess I'm wondering if there is a reason why bluetooth is so fragile.
