Both the stock ROM and Android Open Kang Project - maguro build 19 ROM's are skipping a lot when I play music via Bluetooth using a2dp to my car stereo. My other phones Sony Ericson k800, iPhone 3G, and the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant almost never skipped. My Galaxy Nexus on the other hand is skipping about 12 times per song (2-3min songs). I have disabled WiFi and search for available wireless networks. I have tried a few factory resets, cleared all the cashes, re-flashed, and re-paired the Bluetooth many times. Nothing has improved. For me its a big deal because since 2006 I have been using Bluetooth to listen to music in my car. On a side note when I use the car stereo to take phone calls there is no problem (does not skip) its just the A2DP part of the Bluetooth that has a problem. How can I fix the A2DP skipping issue on my Galaxy Nexus? Should I RMA the phone or is this a common issue for the Galaxy Nexus?
I have the same problem. Using bluetooth for audio, I have very frequent skips. I barely hear anything. Just a short blip and then silence. Sometimes reconnecting helps, but I have basically given up trying. I use the 3.5mm now which is a pain because then i cannot use bluetooth for calls. annoying.
I have asked about this issue and am waiting for an answer.
good luck,
chris
EDIT: I found that maybe? turning off NFC helped. Went out to test and it may have helped. It's 14 degrees now, so I won't be braving that too long. Will test this out tomorrow.
Fingers crossed.
Is the skipping problem only when screen is off or all the time?

all the time.
Did anyone find a working solution to this?
I listen to music on my laptop over A2DP and the skipping is really really annoying!
I will second this problem. Strange that it seems to mostly happen when the phone is placed in a pants pocket. I have tried duplicating the problem by covering the phone, shaking it, bumping it, anything that might be happening to it in the pocket. And, nothing seems to replicate the problem.

I second this problem.
Strange that it is most prevalent when the phone is placed in a pants pocket. I can leave the phone on my desk and was 30 feet away and have no skipping; but place it in my pocket and it skips all over the place.
I have tried to duplicate the problem by covering the phone, shaking it, bumping it. Anything to recreate the pocket environment. But, nothing causes the skipping the same.

Any solutions to this problem found yet?
I'm on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset. I've been through many ROMS. Was on ICS, and am now on JB 4.1.1. I have the latest 4.0.4 radios. None of this matters. I'm having the same problems with the connection and it's bugging the crap out of me. My bluetooth FM transmitter is fine in the car and my phone calls are fine.
Using the phone, more than 30 feet away in a room: fine. Walking: fine. In the pocket, a couple minutes later and it cuts in and out. The latest ROM I flashed (CNA 3.2.0) made it much better, but it's still crap. I can listen without getting that annoyed now. It used to start cutting out constantly and sometimes I just gave up and stopped listening to music.
Any ideas? Looked at these other XDA forum threads, but there really wasn't a solution there.
Thanks

Pondering:
I think this may be a headset issue more than the phone itself. A lot of these responses are for the Motorola S10-HD, and the like, headsets. I think that it is a coincidence that these newer bluetooth headsets arrived on the scene about the same time as the Galaxy Nexus.
Just a thought. Reactions?

Has anyone else had any issues with BT cutting out on audio even though nothing intensive is running on the phone?
Not even a phone reset fixed this gem?
It will play for a few minutes - then go silent for a couple of seconds then resume the audio.
I was playing it through my Sony Car Stereo head unit (worked fine with all previous phones; BB Bold, iPhone 3gs, TYTN etc)

Sorry to bump, but I've been having the same problem with the Virtuous Fusion ROM, but I don't even have Wifi turned on and it still happens. This used to happen with my previous rom (eVil 4G HD), but it would happen maybe once every few days. With the Virtuous Fusion ROM, it would happen maybe 2 or 3 times in one song. Is there anyway to at least minimize how often it happens?
Edit: Wow. Totally didn't realize this wasn't the forum for my phone. Was about to make a thread in the forum for my phone but this came up in the similar threads. My bad.
try switching of the wifi this may help
Hi, I have been searching and can't seem to find anything on this. My wife's and my epics pair, and work, great with with our car stereos (clarion). but, when we get out of the car, and the phone unpairs, we have no more system sounds. we miss calls and texts because we never hear them. the sounds now only come out the ear piece. Only a reset corrects it and then we hear sounds from specker again. Of coarse until we get in the car, and it all starts over again.
any ideas? I'm stumped.
thanks!
have you tried turning bluetooth off entirely when u leave the car?
also are you using any applications to send media with bluetooth such as BTmono?
I have the same problem -- as does my wife. I'm using a Motorola BT in the car, but it seems to be a problem with any BT connection as she primarily connects to our BT phone connection in the house. I saw this problem mentioned in a couple other threads, but no real solutions other than things like turning off BT on the phone before disconnecting, etc. Frankly, that's a hassle and I never remember to do it. I was hoping the latest version of Syndicate ROM might fix it, but just had it happen again this morning. So, I can confirm it's a problem on both Froyo stock and Syndicate ROMS. At least it seems like rebooting is a bit faster on Syndicate, so that's my solution for now as soon as I realize sounds aren't coming through. Just gotta remember to check before I miss a call!

thanks for the replies. I am not using anything that starts to stream to the car stereo. Music player use to, but I removed it. I did notice today that the specker sound loss only happens if i make/receive a call. Today I drove to store and while in store away from car sound was fine. got back to car, called wife, and then when I was at home sound was gone. I will try to toggle off BT before phone is unpaired. what a pain.

This problem is a bug that exists while using Bluetooth on a device for both ad2p and phone calls. The only workaround (until Sammy or one of our great devs comes up with a fix) is to use the BT device for one or the other. This will prevent the audio from being routed to the phones earpiece after BT disconnects. To do this, go into the phones BT settings. Then long press the device that you are having trouble with. Next uncheck "Media Audio" or "Phone Audio", depending on which purpose you want for the device.
Hey everyone. Gotta say, i love this phone its the android device i always wanted. However, im having issues with my car bluetooth which i have not experienced before... namely, that random phonecalls sound completely digitized.
Ive come from an htc desire and htc sensation on the same car without issue and am worried i got a bad BT antenna-or its software...
Anyone out there experiencing the same thing? Any advice (other than buying a new car)?
I am having the same issues on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus V4.02. If I turn bluetooth off mid-call the earpiece sounds fine. The static only happens during voice calls, streaming A2DP sounds fine. There are bluetooth improvements listed in the 4.03 changelog, hopefully this will be resolved.
I had some problems with my BT speaker phone. I turned off the key press sounds and the screen off sounds and that pretty much fixed it.
I have an off topic question for you guys that use bluetooth streaming. Can start the car and press play from the HU to start music? I can with my old D2, but not my TB. I have to actually start the music player on the thunderbolt, then I can control it from my HU. I would like to upgrade, but I don't see a huge advantage in upgrading if I still can't start my music without having to actually take the phone out of my pocket. (Yes, I know it's stupid, but I'm lazy.)
I have this same issue in one of my cars. I ran a number of tests and the issue only occurs on my vehicle when the phone is connected to both for telephony and a2dp music. The static occurs whether or not a2dp is actually being used to stream music or not. This particular vehicle has two separate devices for music and telephony. If I unpair or disconnect the music device, then telephony works without the audio distortion. As soon as I reconnect the music device, the static is re-introduced.

I am experiencing this issue as well and have not been able to resolve it. I've tried disabling the touch sounds, screen off sounds, etc. but to no avail.
It pretty much makes handsfree unusable while driving. What have you guys done in the meantime? Have you been able to resolve the issue yet?
Here's my specific details:
Phone: Verizion LTE Galaxy Nexus v4.02 stock/unrooted
Handsfree Car System (phone audio): Stock 2007 Audi A4
Separate A2DP Module (media audio): Dension Gateway Five connected to factory Stereo
All of my previous phones (Thunderbolt, Droid X, Incredible, OG Droid) have fully supported this setup with no issues whatsoever.
On a sidenote, my A2DP streaming is also unreliable. It first has trouble connecting to the device. If/when it does, audio constantly cuts out when streaming Pandora, Slacker Radio, Google Music... pretty much any streaming over network connection. I have not tried locally stored music yet as I don't have any currently stored on my device. Are you guys experiencing this A2DP issue as well?
I wonder how widespread this is and if it warrants opening an official issue with Google.
I used to have a Blackberry Torch, and I have a Ford Mustang. When I would connect the BT to it, if the Wifi was on, it would "interfere" with the signal. Turning wifi off, fixed the issue. This was a widely known issue with the Torch. Granted that shouldn't have to be a fix, but can any of you verify whether your wifi is on? (regardless of if its connected to anything or not). I'm wondering if the Nexus is using the same BT/WIFI chip that the Torch used.

I appreciate the suggestion but unfortunately, I have the issue even if WiFi is off (I never use WiFi).
I'm going to try and toggle a few of the sound and haptic feedback settings a little more to see if it's pertinent to a certain on/off configuration. It's a shot in the dark but I'll try anything at this point.
ok it was worth a shot. Maybe on a whim turn off 3g/data so basically its airplane mode except BT is on? Just to eliminate any RF interference. Other than that I dont know
Spent quite a bit of time in the car today to try and pinpoint a cause and I have had no luck.
Phone audio will sound great and then all of the sudden turn digitized and distorted for a random period of time, then revert back to sounding great. One thing to note is that the distortion is both ways - the person I'm talking to also hears it when I speak and cannot understand what I'm saying. It's very frustrating not being able to use this feature.
I am on my 2nd replacement phone and ALL of them have had this issue (returned two others to VZW due to this issue and the speaker clicking issue). I am still wondering if it is software/OS releated or if it's due to poor hardware.
Quick Update (kind of):
I messed around with more settings last night. I am happy to report that after I disabled NFC last night, I made several handsfree calls in my car with perfect clarity and no issues. Also, A2DP streaming Pandora worked flawlessly! I was happy that I thought I pinpointed the issue - NFC interference.
BUT this morning, I made a handfree call and it was immediately distorted. Frownie face! A2DP Streaming Pandora still worked great. I am now trying to determine if my success last night was a fluke or if something is different with the phone this morning. The only difference from last night to this morning, that I have been able to identify so far, is I now have the extended battery in the phone. Last night's success had the standard battery. I'll switch them back at lunch and re-test.

I've got the same issue. Even with NFC disabled. Makes listening to Pandora in the car unbearable. I've gone through the same steps as you, but hasn't exchanged the phone yet. I've had previous Androids and it was a hit/miss with the distortion, but with an iPhone or BB never had this issue. Go figure.
thanks to all the replies, will update to 4.0.3 and try out some more options.
- unplugging my music dongle had no effect on call quality
- NFC on or off had no effect
I also find that the music adapter never auto-connects and needs me to go in to the BT settings page and manually select it.
thanks all.
Hello again. So I have an update that adds to the flakiness ...
Updated to the Bugless Beast ROM and Franco's kernel. My intent was to completely reset the phone and hopefully get a new Bluetooth stack in the process.
Initially everything paired OK, but after a while my audio randomly disconnects after about 20minutes and then reconnects depending on its mood.
My phone connection is more controllable now: if the BT is enabled on my phone when I turn on the car, the sound quality is entirely digitized and unusable. If I turn on the car and THEN enable my phone, the sound quality is flawless every time.
Still not ideal, but manageable. For the music audio part, I lay the blame entirely on the Audi Music Interface BT adapter: the thing is crap and always in pair mode even with the car turned off! The telephone BT in the car head unit has seen several phones pair with it without any issues (I do mobile development so I get to play with many phones) so in that case, I can't blame anything but the Nexus.
I really hope someone at Google or Samsung reads these threads since it would be tough to troubleshoot, but there's no doubt an issue exists with general BT compatibility.

Anyone have an update on this issue? Does anyone know of a ROM with a different Bluetooth stack than AOKP? I love everything else about AOKP. I have had the same garbled bluetooth audio from stock - 4.03 with franco and faux kernels with the same result. I had similar problems with Cyanogen 7 ROM I was using on my Incredible the week before I bought the Nexus.
Update - I experimented with a couple of additional devices, and the multiple connections problem with my Nexus is limited to A2DP only devices.
I am now using a Garmin BlueTrip with "phone audio" deselected in bluetooth options. As long as the additional bluetooth device is handsfree profile capable, the A2DP functions perfectly, calls are clear, and the device reconnects after a power cycle consistently. I'm glad this appears to be a software issue and not something we will have to live with for the life of the phone. I'm sure a future update will correct this issue.
I'm also having a problem with Bluetooth calls sounding very digitized and/or choppy. It is bad enough that it can be extremely difficult to make out what the caller is saying. A2DP, on the other hand, has performed pretty flawlessly and the device consistently reconnects each time I get in the car (although it can take up to 30 seconds or so).
I'll have to do a little experimenting with some of the settings mentioned in this thread to see if they have any affect.
On a related note, I feel like sometimes calls made/recieved on the handset can sound digitized as well (although not nearly as bad as over bluetooth). Has anyone else experienced this?
My hardware is:
Verizon GNex (4.0.2)
Parrot MKi9000
Hi,
I have completely stock, locked boot loader and no root , GN that received OTA last night.
Before the update, my Samsung HM7000, Bluetooth headset worked flawlessly. Since the update I get disconnected frequently, Google Now or any other voice command takes forever to pass initializing.
Anyone else experiencing the similar issue?

Well, not really the same issue. For me, the Bluetooth headset (Motorola s305) connects fine. It just seems to cause trouble with voice search.
I have the same issue- it fails to initialize and sometimes I will get a blue cloud that says "try again?". It is inconsistent- sometimes works flawlessly, sometimes the second time it will work, and sometimes cannot get it to initialize at all.
Noticed something similar myself.
I used to have a set up where when driving I had two bluetooth devices paired simultaneously.
1) Phone audio to car.
2) A2DP (media) audio to belkin BT to AUX adapter/receiver)
I've noticed since JB 4.1.1, my car will continuously disconnect from my phone whenever the phone is also paired with the Belkin adapter. Not too sure what to do (I have tried deleting and recreating the pairs just to be sure...)

Did you ever managed to fix your issue? I'm having the same problem with my bluetooth connection. It connects fine to my car but after few minutes it disconnects and I have to reconnect by hand then it disconnects again. Can't keep a bluetooth connection anymore. Was working perfectly in ICS and I think it was also working well in JRN84D (Android 4.1). I believe that it's the JRO03C (Android 4.1.1) update that ****ed everything up.

I have the same problem after upgrading my GSM GNex to 4.1.1
I have Kenwood KCA-BT200 hands-free adapter in the car and it was working fine with ICS.
After update it does not connect automatically and I have to switch BT off and back on on the phone for hands-free to connect. Once connected it will stay so for as long as the phone is active (screen is lit up). When screen goes off the phone disconnects after about one minute.
I have tried to recreate pairings, fiddle with BT visibility settings on the phone - nothing helps.
Hello everybody,
I've been having issues with bluetooth on the Nexus too.
My problem, though, is that the bluetooth won't start at all. It worked just fine before the update to 4.1.1 (from ICS 4.0.4).
Now, when I restart the phone and try to switch it on, it doesn't do anything. Right after, getting out and into the settings again, the sliding on/off switch seems to be grey as if it cannot be moved.
Any solutions or ideas??
Thank you.

Try deleting the bluetooth folder named after the MAC address of your BT chipset in /data/misc/ (I think)?

Not every person in this thread is talking about the same bug.
The bug with this is that bluetooth pairing causes issues with initializing dictation or google now and s-voice.
It is real and easily reproducible on the siii or the note ii, but that's all I've tried. Very annoying bug.
I haven't seen anyone post anything about bluetooth issues but I've been having one so annoying, everything was fine until I installed a a2dp app so that whenever I got in my car Pandora started. It started having this issue where about every minute it would disconnect and then 30 seconds later connect again. It will do this over and over and over again. So I un installed the app and still the problem persists, I made the phone forget the car and then sync again but nope. The only way to actually get it to stay connected is when I'm in the car having the issue to restart the phone and then it works until I turn off the car. When this issue is going on I get the bluetooth share has stopped or whatever, I Googled that but the methods I saw didn't work for me. Things like deleting the cache and data for bluetooth share.

You are not searching enough as I posted about Bluetooth just about 6 hours ago. If it is any consolation, my music players pauses too somewhat erratically sometimes. I need to press the pause button to get it to play again.
Try flashing the newest saber kernel, I heard it's been helping some with Bluetooth issues, it doesn't help with Pandora avrcp though, Pandora will still crash bluetooth if your Pandora is modded avrcp.
i have an issue with bluetooth and google maps navigation. Seems like the instructions are not always read aloud over the speakers. The music will pause and there will be a silence but no vocal instructions. Sometimes it will pause playing music and I will only vocally get the end of the driving instruction. I'm using power amp for playing music but I noticed it is exactly the same using other players. I confirmed this on 3 att note 3's and 1 tmobile note 3. Any one else?
I have my Note 3 connected to my iO Play and it connects fine. The audio is also good without the problems described from the OP.
I don't use Pandora but I have used YouTube, Play Music, Digitally Imported or internal music and it has never disconnected.
When you disconnected the bluetooth, do you do it on the phone end or your bluetooth end? Try removing the pair on your bluetooth end.
Mine connects fine to my stereo. Music, YouTube, everything. Maybe it's your stereo.

I don't know how to unpair off car, it's a 2013 subaru brz. But it did work fine at one point when I first got it. ........
Music sounds great through BT and my Pioneer stereo.
1 gripe is it doesn't access my phone book. I think Pioneer has a BT SW upgrade for stereo that may help.
I use IheartRadio all the time sounds better than HD Radio IMHO.
Depends on the car. Check your dealer for software update to the Bluetooth in car. Just be prepared to pay for a hour labor charge if ur car is out of warranty.

Hate to say it but it may be the stereo in the car. I'm having the same issues in my BRZ as well. It worked fine for a few days but now it's constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. I have the stock radio still. My S3 worked flawlessly.
Looks like I may have an excuse to spring for that new head unit I was looking at.
Listen mates, Galaxy S4 BT was perfect did all on my car, Note 3 BT does audio only. What gives?

It works if I restart but not always and it's a hassle. We shouldn't have to spend a couple hundred on a unit to fix this though.........
I have a pioneer blue tooth stereo and it works GREAT. No problem

Anybody have bluetooth experience with Ford Sync. I have a 2010 Fusion, my Galaxy Nexus works great with it, but I'm eyeing a Note 3. BT is an important feature for me, so this is critical.
Mine works great in my Toyota Tundra with the factory Jul stereo. I select Bluetooth for audio. It starts playing the last song that was on from the Google Music app. When I have Wade or Google Maps Nav on, it plays that audio over the music. Can also play YouTube or any other audio from the phone through Bluetooth.

I AGREE WITH YOU borrow someone elses phone or flash a different rom and see if results change. it could be the phone acting up
I figured out a little something!!!!
I unpaired the phone right, then when the car asks for map and contacts and all that I put decline or no, whatever it is and now it doesn't disconnect!!!!
