Hi,
Since upgrading via OTA to 4.0.4, I have noticed that bluetooth audio is terribly delayed - by up to second or so. This makes watching films over bluetooth very offputting to say the least, and the same for playing games.
This does appear to be new to 4.0.4 - since updating I hadn't used my headset for a bit, so have only just noticed it, but I have tested with a game I used extensively (Dead Space) that pre-update was fine, and now appears to suffer considerable delay. I have tested via two different bluetooth audio systems too.
I have not yet tried a factory reset - is this the next step, or have others noticed the issue despite this? Has anyone else noticed this issue at all?
As a follow up to this, a factory reset hasn't helped.
Curiously, youtube vids seem ok, but nothing else...
It depends I have to laptops when I connect to one there seems to be a delay. On the other one the delay is barely noticeable.. it depends really

Ok, just to add to the confusion, YouTube vids are fine, but games/DVD rips aren't.
I'm now wondering if this is a load-related issue?
Ok, still more information;
Whan playing a video using MXPlayer, if I use H/W decode, everything is fine. As soon as I switch to S/W decode I get the delay.
I have also tested in GTA3, Dead Space and SpeedX 3D, all of which worked fine prior to 4.0.4, and all of which now have an audio lag.
This is almost certainly an issue with 4.0.4 as a friend has just upgraded his Xoom to 4.0.4 and now has the exact same behaviour I do.
As such, I can't imagine this will get a quick fix, but I do want to raise awareness of the issue.
Same here
Does sound like a 4.0 problem.
I have been getting the same thing since upgrading my Sony Tablet.
Hi there,
I know this belongs in the developer forum, but I'm a lurker and don't have my 10 posts yet. So sorry to bother you.
I am experiencing some issues with Cyanogenmod 10 on my HOX. I installed the Endeavour Cyanogenmod 10 Rom (017). It's working great except for one issue. My headset is not outputing audio during a call or anytime. It will output audio over the speaker phone during a call, but not over the normal speaker. It also appears to not output audio over bluetooth. However, it will output audio over the headphone jack. I have played with all the settings adjusting to different volume levels, but this has not seemed to fix it. Is this just a weird jellybean setting that I'm not seeing? or is it just a bug with the ROM I installed?
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Josh

After some more tinkering, it appears that bluetooth sound works during calls, but not during music play back. But it still appears that no matter what is done, the front speaker is not functional. I have tried reinstalling the ROM and the kernal.
Any suggestions?
Hey,
try the official nightly's, i'm on 09-23 and everythings working fine so far

I suggest going back to a sense Rom, CM10 is missing alot of stock features, has worse battery and generates a crazy amount of heat.
The temperature the device reaches is beyond even an overclocked ARHD Rom with faux.
Auto Brightness is dull (yet still crazy temps)
Widgets are awful
Camera is awful
Notification light tends to be always green
Plus several other annoyances

Blank screen
Has anyone else been having a problem with the screen going black/staying black after periods of inactivity?
I haven't been able to notice a pattern, but all I know is that, occasionally, my phone will refuse to show anything on the screen when I try to unlock it - other than black. The backlight will still be on, though, and the hardware keys light up.
It's fixed by a simple reset - but it's annoying as hell.
Anyone else out there having the same problem?
I've searched all over the internet and can't really find anything :s
Yes, that's a well known bug with the kernel, try a different kernel
Try IceColdJelly-ROM.
It is running Android 4.1.1 and is way faster and smoother than Cyanogenmod ..
and you don't have this freezing-screen-problem on ICJ..
regars :}
Thanks - I have no idea what either of you are talking about, specially how to change the kernel - but I'll look it up as soon as I get home
I read somewhere that it's a Facebook GPS bug, and since I've uninstalled Facebook it hasn't happened again...
Yet...

I have noticed since I upgraded from GS3 to Note 3 that when I am streaming music to my car stereo the audio will skip or stutter. The song continues to play but the audio cuts out for anywhere up to a second or two. Has anyone else seen this or resolved it?
I have seen some posts that say turning off WiFi fixed it but I still get the skip, if a little less frequently with WiFi turned off.
It seems to go away if I set the developer options to keep the screen awake while charging. So it seems like the CPU clock may be too low during sleep to maintain everything else it is doing as well as audio streaming.
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
This happens to me too sometimes. It seems worse when I first start streaming & then it calms down a bit. But it still occasionally skips. I experienced this on my note 2 as well though, so I don't think its an exclusive issue to the N3.
This is happening 4 or 5 times per song, so it is quite annoying LOL

Stock ROM? Stock Kernel? Need more info from both of you.
Sounds like the CPU might be dropping too low when the screen is off, causing the stuttering. You could try a custom kernel with a higher screen off frequency.
Used to happen on my S2 and this was the problem...

Full stock, I believe that is the problem as it is pretty much resolved when I leave the screen on. Still testing this here and there to be sure.
This has happened to me on every rom & kernel I've tried. Which is pretty much all of them for the N3, and everything from stock to CM on the N2.

I have the same problem on my GN3 international version and yes leaving the screen on WILL solve it. However, that's not a practical solution.
Try this, download Poweramp, go into settings, audio, advanced tweaks, set the audio buffer size to Large (+250ms) and audio thread priority to +2
See if that works for you. If it does, then buy the full version even though I like the timbre effect and bass on the stock music player but this is the only solution, so far.

What headunit? I run Kenwood KDC-X995, and never had an issue with it cutting out. THe headunit wouldn't display track info though. The way I fixed this is connecting via the Stock Samsung media player., Everything has been a dream since
I had this problem and it just went away after a few reboots and some time. ..

A2DP loss
Note 3 Owner here. Rooted with stock ROM and stock kernel. (T-Mobile)
Experiencing intermittent Bluetooth audio loss as well.
Just contributing to the list.

BTW, what player are y'all using? In power amp there is an option for keep service awake if music.stops while.playing with screen off. And there is also option to use a wake lock also. I am not having any problems nor have I ever so I can't help. The only other suggestion I have is maybe your radio Bluetooth sucks. I went through a period of testing many Bluetooth headset and receivers a couple years ago. Needed something good to listen to my music while I rode my bike. Many of the Bluetooth I tested were very sensitive to the bumps and vibration while riding hard on my mountain bike. The only solution for those were to put receiver right next to my phone. Being in my pocket was too far away or something. I ended up sticking with Sony mw600 as all purpose. It could take any headset, and I was able to use it as a receiver in my truck as it didn't have Bluetooth. Now I also have a Honda civic with built in Bluetooth and all is well. My Sony mw600 oled stopped working though so in on lookout for a nice apt x receiver.

I am using a Sony DSX-S300BTX and have had no previous issues with my HTC Sensation 4G or my Galaxy S3. It only started when I got my Note 3. I use Google Play Music with the All Access service.
Just an update on this. Over the weekend I did a factory reset and this time I did not let it restore settings and apps from my Google account. I went through and installed all the same apps i was using before. And so far I have only noticed 1 stutter/cut out since then. And if I am correct, this only happened when I was leaving my house and it switched from Wifi to 4G LTE on the stream.
Will continue to monitor and see if the issue comes back. But so far I am rather happy.

Trying this recommended app/setting combination, and hope that the skipping stops on the A2DP connection in the car. *crosses fingers*

I came from the Note 2 to the Note 3 and I'm fearing that it's 4.3 that is causing the bluetooth intermittent issue. Whether or not I stream from Pandora or my music player, I get the stutter. Doesn't matter what ROM I use between hyperdrive and beans too. Someone said it could be the adblock that is causing the stutter but I don't have that installed at all. Getting pretty frustrating.
Ended up not working for me,...but keeping the screen on did seem to eliminate the skipping.
Wonder if there's anyway to force Bluetooth not to sleep,....

I ONLY get the stutter when using the stock music player. It never happens when using, for example, TuneIn Radio.
I exchanged 2 Note 3's. The first one had the stutter problem so I returned it. The second one had NO stutter problems but overheated from time to time, exchanged as well. The third one doesn't over heat but, unfortunately, has the stutter problem. So, I just gave up. The PowerAmp solution works for me, though.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you.
Someone mentioned increasing the minimum CPU frequency and that would solve it. Try upping it to 400Mhz see what happens but this will definitely drain your battery more than usual.

The same thing happened to me on the note 2.... actually the n3 isn't as bad as the n2 was. Fwiw
sent from my ??????? note 3?
SO I have started to notice that it isn't actually the stream stuttering, but a short disconnect of the bluetooth. I noticed that when the music cuts out, it also drops the media connection to my car stereo, in that the artist and song title disappear until the connection comes back. Seems like a bad bluetooth stack or something as I tested a Nexus 5 and do not have this issue at all. And I never had a problem on my GS3.
Hopefully the 4.4.2 update will resolve this issue. Whenever that may be...
I have this problem as well, (stock rom rooted, stock kernel) I use power amp. now however I cant stream my music through bluetooth at all, but when a call comes in, it streams. Doing a little digging into my phone, my N3 seems to think im in a call, and only plays my music through the speaker for your ear. it only started a few hours ago. even when I am not connected to bluetooth, it still plays music through the same speaker. tried uninstall reinstall. I did update apps earlier when I got home (ove wifi). once they were done, that seems to be when this issue started.
any help/suggestions?
I've searched the forums and found quite a bit of people saying they have experienced this, but I'm not sure if they were using notes or not.
For some reason, it doesnt matter what app I'm using, pandora, xm, or the stock players. They all studder just slightly, sometimes more so when the screen is off.
It's not a bluetooth specific thing, it happens over bluetooth as well as the speaker of the note3.
Is there a solution for this? It really drives me crazy and how can I host a party next weekend with this doing that
My girlfriend does not experience this on her nexus 5, is my problem specific to jellybean?
Thanks for your advice!

yep same problem.
i had it on nexus 4 - 4.3. but um, didn't start on my note 3 until after a few days of use. I'm not sure rebooting helps for long. i tried poweramp and jetaudio and stock player. Skips everywhere.
I tried setting decoder priority and buffer size to higher on Poweramp. Not sure if it'll help but we'll see.
I'm on N2 right now that has exact same problem, but BT only related. The micro pauses also differ between the receivers Sony Ericsson MW600 is so far the worst offender, the pauses last 1/2 second, on other receivers it's barely noticeable.
At least on N2 it's not related to the JB version, it was happening on 4.1.2 and 4.3. Changing kernel also doesn't affect the issue.
I suspect the cause is BT doesn't get enough priority and if lot's of apps running on the background it starts skipping. Usually I just reboot the phone then it works fine for a few hours, sometimes I use fast reboot app, that kills background processes it helps somewhat too.

Using PowerAmp I went to Huge buffer and Highest priority and it seems to have fixed the stuttering for me. I'm on rooted stock.
>Using PowerAmp I went to Huge buffer and Highest priority and it seems to have fixed the stuttering for me. I'm on rooted stock.
yup. same. now wish they'd add the same features to jetaudio+ and other players D:
I get this problem often. Odd.
I'm not sure if this is a solution but I noticed the problem went away when I was using different roms/kernel combinations.
Currently I've been using the compulsion kernel with some international roms and the problem hasn't come back!
Is it the kernel or rom I can't be sure. But either way it's fixed.
If someone experiencing problems with their rom wants to try the compulsion kernel and see if the problem still exists maybe it can help a lot of people.

I have had a pixel 2 xl for awhile now (Verizon version sadly) and have had very few big issues with it but lately there have been things that have been bothering me.
One issue is that applications like YouTube, Amazon music, and even my e book reader I use to listen to audio books will randomly pause for no apparent reason.
Another thing that has been happening to me recently is that when watching videos or listening to music my volume will sound significantly lower itself and sound muffled. As far as I can see there is no visual indicator the volume is lowering. Then after a couple of seconds or two it will go back to normal.
The only other issue is that it doesn't connect very well to my PC. I have used several cables and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Not sure how a Google phone can have issues like these.
I thought they would be sending out updates to fix these types of issues, but since they haven't and seem incompetent when you ask them about issues like these, I figured I would ask you amazing people.
Thanks in advance for the help!
My sound was going way low while listening to podcast - I noticed that do not disturb was on - perhaps it lowers the sound of what you're listening to in order to alert you during do not disturb?
Hmm I'm not too sure I usually keep it on vibrate but I don't think it's ever on do not disturb but I will be sure to check next time. I'm probably going to factory reset to see if it clears up any of the issues.
