I noticed that when I stream music via bluetooth from my gs3 it cuts out and it is very annoying. Anyone else have this issue? Its the sprint variant it is rooted running Phantoms Blazer 1.6 and jellybomb domination v 8.0 but I know neither of those are the culprit as it did the same thing stock. I am also using a Plantronics Voyager pro + headset. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Do you get cut outs when it's in your pocket or while holding it? I have a jabra clipper and if my phone is in my pocket i do get cut outs. A fix is to place your phone up right in your pocket with your screen facing in. It helps with the reception of bluetooth.. hope it helps.
does it for me too
seems to do it on a lot of Samsungs. Did it on my Gnex and E4gt as well. Like it says in above post, dont touch it and its cool. Ive tried every fix i found, no resolution so far for me

I feel like I'm the only one who's been struggling with Bluetooth media since the ICS leaks started rolling out and as it seems like we're getting closer to a final build I'm getting worried.
So I often stream audiobooks and music via Bluetooth from my phone to my Sony XPLOD BT3900 aftermarket head unit. This worked just great on the GB ROM. However, on the ICS ROMs, my phone will randomly hot reboot in the middle of playing something. This includes the stock player, Power Amp, Mort Audiobook Player and Google Music. The audio cuts out, Bluetooth disconnects and the screen goes to the Sprint bootanimation screen with no sound, then quickly reloads the OS. I have to toggle Bluetooth off then on again on both the stereo and the phone in order to get it to reconnect.
If I turn off Media audio in the Bluetooth settings, just using Phone audio, and connect to the stereo via the Aux port, it works just fine with no reboots, so this is definitely a software issue (worked fine on GB) involving Bluetooth media (phone audio is fine) that may or may not be isolated to my particular stereo.
So I have to ask ... is anyone else experiencing anything the same or similar? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to what the cause may be other than simple incompatibility? It's been bumming me out as I hate having to plug a cable in every time I get behind the wheel.
Had the EXACT same thing happen to me at work today as my phone was linked to a Monster Micro Bluetooth Speaker . . . thought it was my ROM or recent flash that did it but I guess not. It does not happen to me in my car when I have my phone linked to my Motorola bluetooth car received and then my audio linked to my bluetooth jack . . . only seems to happen if both are linked to the same unit. Maybe FD02 will change all that.
I have the same problem and I am looking for a solution!!!
I stream music via Bluetooth in my truck everytime I drive. I connect it to a car dock. I have noticed that the phone seems hot when I pull it out but haven't really tried to figure out why. I thought maybe it was the sun going thru the windshield heating it up bit now I may not buy that.
I've done this with every ics build and am currently on cm9 a2. Never had a reboot though.

Thanks for your feedback, I don't know why you are able to stream music through bluetooth! I have read a lot of threads about this issue and nobody can solve it until now.
Jabra Clip Won't Pair with E4GT
I had no problem using this device on GB based ROMs but once i switched over to the ICS Leaks completely lost the ability to pair with my Device, I hope there is a resolutions to this issue, I can confirm this is still an issue as of FD02.
Running calks 1.4 and have no issues with Bluetooth streaming to Ford sync or my Bluetooth receiver listening to music with subsonic or tune in radio just fyi not trying to be a **** i feel your pain

Yup, works great with Ford's Sync. Picked up a 2012 Ford Focus the other day, and it's great.
Cm9 a2 working flawlessly. Had trouble with almost every other ics rom though.

what ics bluetooth problems as of now?
The problem is that when my gs2 is paired by bluetooth with my Sony MEX-BT3900U, it reboots every about fifteen minutes. It has been happened since I have updated my phone to ICS and not with Gingerbread.
If I just switch on bluetooth, it doesn't happen.
I know this is an older thread but I am having the same issue and I'm trying to search for a fix. It only started happening when I switched from GB to ICS. I also have a sony head unit. Anyone find a fix yet?

Well I switched to a JB rom and all is good. Must have been an ICS problem.
Hi everyone,
The bluetooth on my GSIII has been a complete failure. You can follow the saga here (http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w245-b-class/1662643-2009-w245-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.html), but basically it connects to my car and has no sound with the stock ROM and refuses to connect to the car at all with the AOKP JB build. It suggests an android problem, so I'm wondering if the bluetooth stack can be reloaded to reflashed with something different. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thank you!
I have a problem with one of my Bluetooth devices dropping and reconnecting. Not sure why is just one. It works fine on an iPhone. I'm guessing your GS3 isn't the international version?

Nope not international, SGH-I747M from Bell.
I'm trying this. Will report back.

Sweet! please let us know!
I'm having a different issue. it connects and stays connected, plays music but it doesn't list the song/artist info on my eclipse screen but the SG2 will..
Update: no change with the new kernel. The phones pairs but there's no sound, just as was the case before.

Try CM9. Bluetooth works much better with it. CM10 should have it fixed as well in a day or two.
Here's a 'six months later' update. My phone went through various android updates and I'm now on Android 4.1.1 (up from 4.0.4). The problem was still not solved, but instead of no audio, I now have one way audio, where people hear me but I don't hear them through bluetooth. I have also gone through a number of custom ROMs and kernels for my phone (including CM9/10 and AOKP) and nothing helped with the issue.
A couple of days ago, my girlfriend's HTC One X (finally!) got its Android update, also from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Her phone now works like a charm with the in-car bluetooth.
The solution I ended up with was a car cradle and a couple of NFC tags to control my phone in the car. My NFC tag that's stuck to my car cradle turns off WiFi, starts car mode, starts a car home app and turns my volume to max. All I have to do after that is connect the 3.5mm audio cable and I use my phone in place of the car's infotainment system. That way the phone integrates into the car as well and the only thing I lose are the steering wheel controls (they still work for volume).
My less technologically inclined girlfriend now has everything work auto-magicallly with bluetooth. So I guess all's well that ends well, but to anyone considering a US-spec Galaxy S III, watch out: the bluetooth issue is still not fixed. If bluetooth is critical, consider the HTC One X (but be warned: it has awful battery life!)
I have no issues with stereo Bluetooth and mono Bluetooth. Everything and everyone hears and plays fine. It might be an issue with your headset.

Colby. What version of android, kernel / rom combo are you using?? There's SOOO many people having problems with JB and bluetooth, regardless of rom or kernel setup.
If you're on stock... just nm then.

What's wrong with stock? I have no major issues with streaming BT from my phone to my Mazda 3 head unit, or to my Sony MW600 earphones. Even track titles work (the only thing that doesn't work is time display). In my experience, Bluetooth works best on the stock ROM.
Stock Rogers ROM (DLK4 - JB 4.1.1), rooted
KT747 (1/9/2013) kernel
CWM Recovery 6.0.2.3
PlayerPro Music Player
On my old Xperia X10, I had CM7 and had no end of issues with BT:
- Sometimes it would connect and there would be no sound
- Sometimes it wouldn't connect at all
- Sometimes it would cut out after switching songs
- It would stutter a lot whenever Wi-Fi was enabled (but I think that was a problem with the Xperia).
When I tried CM10.0 on my S3 I had similar connection issues, just not as bad. Also, the volume gain over BT was much lower, so I had to turn the car speakers way up. Stock 4.1.1 doesn't have any of these problems. The only problem I had was the audio switching over to speaker after turning off the car, but I fixed it.
Also, BT is apparently broken in 4.2.1 in general, not just CM10.1. Google confirmed a BT patch that works on the Nexus 7, due for release with 4.2.2: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smar...confirms-android-4-2-bluetooth-streaming-flaw
TIP: Don't forget to turn up the volume on your phone. I don't know how many times I accidentally turned down the volume and thought that it wasn't working. Now I have Tasker do it for me whenever I connect. :good:
4.1.2 has Bluetooth working use it everyday. (Stock and ROM.) Can't tell u which combo I use at a time. I flash a different ROM everyday. As 4.2.1bluetooth is broken expect for task's AOKP. He has it workingish.
Now as connecting to a car. Depends on what it connects as. And I've learned going to and from ROMs when u connect a source hit the volume up 9/10 times it works

I didn't see any other threads on this and I'm not sure if it might be specific to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus or Lexus/Toyota cars. Since Jelly Bean, I've already had my car's bluetooth connectivity go into a weird state with the phone three times.
The car will be playing music (default music app) and the navigation app, playing just fine through the car's bluetooth, and then, both the car and phone will indicate connected, but the sound will stop. If I turn off the car, the bluetooth on the phone thinks its still connected. The only way to clear the condition is to turn off the bluetooth on the phone and turn it back on. So much for that "extra" Verizon testing. This all worked fine for me with ICS.
Anyone else see a problem like this?
Thanks!
I am having occasional problems connecting since jb. Was rock solid on ics. I am on sprint and have a Lexus.
This is my only issue with 4.1.

Samsung Galaxy S3 running Omega JB 4.1.1 - Driving a Toyota Prius
Greetings
I myself have experienced odd bluetooth issues with my Samsung Galaxy S3 running Omega JB 4.1.1 version 30 whilst driving my Toyota Prius.
Every 5 mins or 10 mins or so many minutes the audio from my podcast, for example, stops dead and I have to open up the app and hit play for it to continue.
Bizarrely I also experienced this the other day whilst driving a VW too.
Was fine on ICS.
I've you to find a solution.
I've been using Omega since version 25 and have also experienced the same issue on the Wannam custom stock rom.
Tonight I placed the device into Aeroplane mode and kept bluetooth running and the problem persisted.
I have no idea with regards I'm afraid.
Thanks
Dave
Update: I found that the audio issue I was experiencing was not bluetooth specific. I tried direct in to the car audio via the AUX jack and the problem persisted. But I also noted that after a clean install of a rom the issue did not exist so I worked my way towards the removal of the Deezer app and since then I have not experienced the problem. Go figure?
I am not having this problem with my Nexus and my myford touch sync setup. I do, however, get a lag between video and sound, where the sound is behind of the picture and out of sync. *shrug* Wish I could help more.
I can't even do more than phone on my 2012 BMW. No mobile office but calls work fine. When the CSR is turned off it doesn't switch to headset like it will of my wife's 2004 lancer.
Wonder if anyone else experienced this at all?
I have tried a bunch of JB roms but none that will allow me to use my car stereo bluetooth. it shows that they are paired correctly but if I try to play music or make a call, the sound comes from my headset speaker and not my car stereo speakers. Anyone else experiencing this and have any insight? thanks that would be sweet. I've got the Hercules and only ICS roms will allow me to use A2DP. anything else anyone needs to know to help solve? thanks!

Just wanted to let you know I've been using Cm10 10-20121011-Nightly-hercules
and EVERYTHING works perfectly!!!
I'm hoping every day that nothing pops up and starts proving me wrong but so far I've tried everything and all is good on my phone!!
I've tried You-Tube audio threw bluetooth in my car...inclusing also making phone calls and listening to music and all works great.
I've tried to make this Rom fail and so far nothing has broke it....
Bluetooth pairs and plays through headset just fine. But as soon as I put phone in my pocket it starts to lag and skip and crackle. ... Rooted with twisted rom. Anybody else, or do you think I have hardware issue
I have the same issue with mine, but its paired to my car stereo and within 2 feet of the thing, if i have the phone in my lap, often i get the same results as you are experiencing. Im wondering if its a antenna issue or if the output is lowered on the S6 so range is limited? Regardless, its not just you...
Same here.. just brought new bluetooth headphones and the only way it plays without any problem is to leave the screen on. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Seems to work fine on mine and my girl's phones running renegade, havent tried headset but wireless speaker from across the house. Sixaxis controller works fine too but slight lag at times, which i think is just the app. Hope this helps maybe try a fresh start with odin?
