Audio streaming quality post EK02 - "popping" or "clicking" via bluetooth
Anyone experiencing any popping, clicking or static when streaming music from Pandora, Google Music, etc.
I tested streaming using a EG30 versus a EK02 updated E4GT and on the EK02 I am getting an intermittent click or pop on music playback. This used to happen on the Evo 4G a while back, but an update fixed it at some point. I stream my music via bluetooth to my car stereo.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Don't know why it happens but it sucks!

You're not talking about the normal horrible stock Android Bluetooth sound? Where the audio sounds too "hot " or just distorted?

especially during high pitched sound? such as a guitar solo or cymbols?
if so, this is typical for Stock android devices. the only think I know of that fixes is it Cyanogen.
they got a whole lot of nowhere over in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708685
except to verify that it's pretty much a stock thing on most android phones. Which is F'ing idiotic. Who would be android's biggest competitor? iphones? how did people start on that? replacing their ipod, right? yeah...ipods don't have this problem and it pisses me off to no end that no phone manufactures give a damn to fix it.

Just an fyi, I can guarantee that this is not an android problem. I know this because this problem has been plaguing me for a while, and the only satisfaction I got was when I had the nexus s. The problem lies somewhere in the Bluetooth stack that Samsung (and some other manufacturers implement). Its either the fact that the encoding is changed from mp3 to something else (I forget which format), or they changed the lowered the bitpool to increase range but sacrifice quality.
I'm dying for someone to find a solution to this.

I am no audiophile but I agree. Using pandora, poweramp and radio.com all work with no noticeable issues on an old set of Motorola bluetooth stereo headphones.

Pretty sure it's the Bitpool setting. CM7 worked wonders on my Evo 4G on this issue. In fact, it's now why I have my wife's Evo and she has the S2.
I'd really describe the sound as more of a cracking noise that is especially prevalent on guitars and/or cymbals.
I'd be completely pleased with the stock ROM and simply setting the Bitpool higher.
Resurrecting this thread, searched forum to no avail. Does anyone know of a fix to this problem? I just purchased a new JVC KD-X50BT headunit for my car and am experiencing this annoying, no, unacceptable noise while streaming from my Epic Touch. My wife has the GS3 & it sounds amazing when using it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Just to clarify, the issue is that the audio over bluetooth makes it sound like the tweeters are blown (they aren't http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/wink.gif), it's only really noticeable in higher frequencies, and only over bluetooth.

I am one of only a few people that share your same experience. For more info check these threads here and here.
So far, my research tells me it basically has to do with the bitpool setting in the kernel. Times_Infinity's AOKP seems to be the only ROM with the bitpool set high enough to eliminate the problem. I hope to soon dive into kernel source myself and see if I can do some bitpool editing and see how far it goes on other ROMs. No promises though.
Thanks for the reply. Sounds like it's been narrowed down to the Bluetooth stacks. Subscribed to your thread & hope for some progress toward resolving this issue. Fwiw, I have the problem regardless of the source. SD card (via PowerAmp), Pandora, calls, all same experience over Bluetooth. Le stink! Lol
solution
Keep the screen on while streaming ...problem solved ...some how when screen goes of connection becomes staticky .....but it will drain the battery fast ....u can adjust the screen brittleness setting to lowest to save battery. ...

As many know when wearing wired headphones with the ET4G notifications, ringtones and alarm sounds ring through the speaker; it's my only complaint about the device.
Might anyone know of a solution which will make notification sounds play through wired headphones and not the speaker?
Thanks, in advance, for your thoughtful feedback.

Hi, all,
When I talk on this phone, the sound is very poor... Although not too loud (like other complaints) but the sound crackles at high frequencies... The speakerphone is even worse... If I lower the volume, it gets better but sometimes a low volume won't help me with the conversation.
Is it my phone only or everyone experiences that? Are there any tweaks, settings to fix that ?
Thanks!
My phone seems fine and I haven't heard of this issue yet. Maybe I just haven't read up enough but it might just be that you got a bad phone. Exchanging would be the quickest way to get it replaced

I don't hear any cackles but the volume is very low even if I make it the highest it can be.
Mine actually sounds pretty good.
exchange it! Maybe you'll get a white one......

I am using a plantronics voyager pro +, but can't seem to get a good connection with any rom. I used to get better performance with sense roms vs. ASOP roms, but now when I'm using my BT headset streaming music, it cuts in and out almost every 30-60 seconds. I tried reflashing Magnolia, and I am still having the issue. Is there anyone else having bluetooth issues, and is there any ROMS better at bluetooth performance?

I would say a stock sense or a rom based from stock would be a good bet. When the Bluetooth cuts out is the phone in your pocket or kind of far from the earpiece?

I was at the park today, and had the phone sitting on the ground next to me. It usually happens when its in my pocket.
I have the same problem with Bluetooth if its in my pocket that's why I asked. Occasionally it would happen when it was a few feet away but not often. A better Bluetooth device may make a difference though.

Motorola makes a pretty nice set of Bluetooth headphones that work great but they are like $80. I think they use a2dp which make them sound great with music.

I thought it was just me...doesn't matter what ROM i'm on music still cuts out. But it only does it if i'm walking, doesn't do it if I'm seated and listening to music.
I have 3 Bluetooth headsets that work perfect. At the gym I can leave my phone at a weight station and walk all over the gym listening to music. Using CM7 right now but the stock sense ROM worked fine too. Think I had to turn wifi off or I would get some dropouts. CM7 works better than sense with my car stereo.

I use bt on a set of lg bt ear buds at work all day and never have had any issues on any cm, cs, or ukb rom. I think if your having connection issues with Bluetooth it might be in the antenna not the rom, I've dropped my phone a lot and think most of my data and bt connection issues are a result, because if my data won't connect all I have to do is squeeze the bottom of the phone and poof ! magic lol.

BT Audio Dial tone
BT Headset won't pick up dial tone when you call out, but works fine when calls come in or with VOIP calls. ROM CM10 Aeroevan 11-13-12. Any idea?
Okay, so I've noticed that many people had this issue, the issue is the sound quality, whenever you play music there's crackling noises in the back ground, it doesn't happen on all songs however you can hear it with headphones in, usually it happens to the left headphone. I was wondering if there's a fix for it
Are you serious about this thread ?? If some one came to you and said, crackling noise. Any fix yet? Would you know wth they are talking about? Come on now.

I am using a blue parrot headset.
I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Legend and the volume does seem a little low even at maximum. It can be a bit staticy sometimes as well. Neither issue is so bad as to be annoying though. I had thought that the issue was with the Plantronics, but I suppose it's just as likely that the problem is with the Note. I haven't searched for a solution yet.

Silly question...but did you turn it up? I think there is a setting that adjusts in call volume to a lower level by default

I've seen the same thing. Its a software thing because on Jellybomb 5.1 the volume us definitely louder but still not loud enough. My same BT headset was much louder on my Evo and is much louder on my WP7.

Ya I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out I have tried multiple Bluetooth headsets and all them get quiet when you start taking but use thm on other phones and are louder

Any super smart developer that can figure this out there has to tweaks somewhere to increase the max volume
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I would Definitely say its a problem with the note. The volume is way low on a call. I use a Moto hx550 and my GS3 worked great with it.
I have been following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
and tried the tweaks by editing manually, but it didnt help bluetooth volume. So I'm either not tweking the right volume values or there will have to be another solution found. Its frustrating, but hopefully something will come out of one of these threads...
I have an issue with my Note 2 Bluetooth quality as well. Using Motorola Elite Silver. Seems to be perfectly fine with playing music and as soon as I initiate a call the quality degrades their voice breaks up as well as mine. Works fine with other devices, currently have tried on a couple different ones in the Sprint store I work at.

What rom/kernel are you running? If its a tw rom with a compatible kernel you could try STweaks.
It has an option to increase standard volume limits.

Hmmm, its got to be rom related then. If your headset works fine on a different phone, then thats all thats left. There is one last option for you
I use a jawbone icon I got fron ebay.
What really made the difference for me...jabra ear gels. They look crazy! But they hold inside the ear without a hook. An it tunnels the sound dramatically. $6 for a full set left and right.
Honestly bud, this made night and day difference! Sadly their not available in any store anymore. But online everywhere!
If sound is this much an issue for you. I would say the $6 is worth a try.

There should really be a VLC-like setting on all ROMs that allows you to go above 100% on bluetooth volume if you choose to.
