I'm looking to upgrade my Droid Charge to a Galaxy Nexus, and the primary reason I want to do so is to get rid of one annoying problem from my Charge: skipping audio playback over bluetooth, when connected to my car stereo. (I'm reasonably sure it's not the head unit that's the problem, since my girlfriend's iPhone streams just fine, without stutters.) This only happens when streaming music, not when receiving calls over bluetooth.
Does anyone have a GNex and use it with a bluetooth connection to their car stereo? Any stuttering problems?
Bump!
Hey I use my Nexus in the car to stream music via BT, no stutters here!
Good to hear, thanks man!
Sure, no problem. Hope you enjoy it. I would recommend an app like Volume+ or a music app with built in equalizer like PowerAmp or similar.

Not sure about that, i think those apps just adds more distortion to the sound then its worth. If its for playing music with a car stereo, you dont need to boost the audio output.

Hey!
I would be VERY interested to hear from those who have a Desire what they think about the music streaming over Bluetooth on the Desire.
- Does it stutter, as techradar reported?
- Does the BT-headset buttons (play/pause, fw etc) only work with the HTC media player as was the case with the Hero?
Ty!

Indeed it does! Thansk for the link
It does look smooth. Since I own a bluetooth headset (Sennheiser MM 400) I am also eager to know wheter the forward/back-buttons on the headset work? (which is not the case with the iPhone, on of the reasons I ordered a Desire)
Everything works as it should you can use the phone or the device to change tracks, forwards and backwards

Can you control other apps like Google Listen, Spotify and web radio apps or does it always default to the media player?
Bumpdibump!
anyone tried his Jabra BT620s already? i can't seem to get stereo audio (A2DP) to work the on the headset. instead the desire just plays on the phone-speaker. any solutions?
I've had stutter when linked to my car audio system.
It's been covered in this forum already. There is an inherent android issue that sometimes when you have wifi and bluetooth turned on at the same time it causes stutter - silence every few seconds.
The remedy is to turn wifi off and the back on again (or just leave off) and it sorts it out.

for me it only works for the htc music player, but this (i think) will be a android problem not a htc desire problem so maybe some fix around the corner?

nobody tried it??
I love the phone (got it launch day) puts my Mytouch 3G to shame. I love everything about this phone....... well except for one thing.
I am having a hell of a time with audio playback. 60% of the time i try to play back music on stock music player it tells me that the audio format is not supported on this device. using Winamp wasnt much of a help as it will just cycle through songs and freeze up.
resetting the phone helps sometimes but not everytime.
I also tried removing all the music from my phone and re-copying all the files. still an issue.
I've also noticed it acts up a lot more via bluetooth (i have a pair of rocketdog behind the ear headphones)
I'm stumped...
Any ideas? Anyone else getting this issue?
codec, song encoding comes to mind
also try with different amount of songs
i know on the old SGS if you had more than few hundreds of mp3 or mix format songs in it, it can drive it crazy
so try a couple hundreds, then work your way up, until you find the amount of files it can read before it becomes too much.
all this can be fixed once rooted, and installing better media players
winamp for android sucks by the way
you should try the ICE cream leaked media player from stock android, it's better
Curious why not just stream the music from ur pc?? google music is practically flawless
Seen a user in another thread had to format their card in this phone, then add music. Try that.

I tried this last night. didn't help much. I'm 99.98% sure it has something to do with my bluetooth headphones. Going to buy a new pair and see if it makes a difference...

If you get the sony ericsson mw600, you'll be amazed at their features. I love them and use them all the time and the battery lasts longer than the specs say. I can get 14hrs out of them.
Just picked up a new set of headphones.... does the exact same thing.... odd.... wondering if its just my phone or if this is a glitch...haven't seen anyone else report this.
Pandora and google music work great with my motorola s10-hd headset...

I'll be getting my phone tues. I use sony dr-bt22 bluetooth headphones.... will report back.
I have this problem when steaming music over A2DP through stock Music app or Google Music. All 320kbps fixed rate MP3s. I've tried via my integrated car audio, computer, headphones... all same result when playing local media. Streaming via Rdio works completely fine. Playing local media without A2DP also works fine... Logcat reports some kind of permission related problem...
Weird, I play FLAC or 320s all day long on this thing and no "Format Unsupported" has come up on regular headset/aux cable or BT. I have however, had a problem with the music stopping when I get a notification..the time continues to move but no sound.
Just an update, my stereo BT headphones work fine
I purchased a JV KD-R730BT which uses BT to stream audio. It is pretty awesome. The only issue is that the player does not stream the actual MP3 Tag info with certain music apps. I have been using Power Amp which is awesome but nothing on the player. When I use the default music app built into android it does. Anyone else with any experience in this or suggestions?
And what are some other good music apps I might be able to try?
Thanks.

I'm using an Alpine 133BT, which I bought recently and LOVE being able to stream music wirelessly. I've also noticed that not all music apps transmit the ID3 MP3 tag.. I noticed that after updating to ICS, the Google Music app (which I prefer) will send the tag info to the headset. The only issue I have (and might be related to my deck) is that I have to toggle the songname/artist on the deck for each song, the tag info doesn't get updated every time I switch songs. I have to toggle the info off and then on to refresh it on the head unit.. frustrating.
I want to be like you guys when I grow up.
i use a JVC double din BT unit and mine does not transfer any tags to the player either, But Im not sure if its dependant on the phone or the actual head unit

I just ordered one of these from Crutchfield. It's supposed to be in Thursday. Mind if I ask if every connects quickly and properly? Have you tried using the JVC app to control the music?
I have a Kenwood bluetooth unit and it always displays info for songs no matter what app I stream with. Connects very fast and call quality is excellent.

for my exact same setup in my car, when i had my epic 4g no info was transferred from any app, also text message reading wasn't supported so i think the phone has a big role since now with the Epic 4G touch the stock player shows song info.

Only the stock player transmits song info for me as well. I have tried grooveshark, tune in radio, slacker, mortplayer, miui player, pandora and slacker.

Sorry for the late response.. i totally forgot about my thread here.. (moving around)
For the most part it connects fine. Sometimes it can be quirky but overall it is good. The Voice Talk app automatically opens and when you say the wake up command you can launch the default 'Music' player.
The JVC app to me is garbage. Just use the Voice Talk... set it to listen for the voice prompt on BT connect and you will be fine.
I use to have the Iphone 4 and streaming bluetooth audio to my pioneer headset was no problem using Pandora or Spotify, My device connects find but now when playing music it cuts in and out and is very annoying. Has anyone else had issues streaming audio from your Galaxy Note 2?
Works fine for me streaming from the stock music player or from pandora to my kenwood head unit.

This was happening to me yesterday. It went away after restarting the phone.
I'm having issues with distortion/cracking/popping with my One in the car. When I'm streaming audio through Google Music or Pandora, there is noticeable distortion whether Beats is on or off.
I previously had an S3 and that worked fine. This morning I paired my work iPhone to the car and was able to play from the on device music without any distortion. Next up I'm going to try an aux cable to see if it's a Bluetooth or phone issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience.
I noticed major hissing with the beats EQ on. Turned it off and I don't hear it anymore.

I've got a 2013 Sonata with the Dimension navigation radio.
I suspect something related to Beats but I'll have to play around with it while not going along at 75mph.

Hmm, interesting. I'm assuming you're on the stock ROM?
Also, you said you still get the distortion even with Beats disabled, so do you think it's still Beats related?

Stock, with a bunch of stuff frozen. I'm a noob to modern HTC, so besides turning off Beats in Settings, are there other ways to tweak it?

Using Google Play Music in a 2013 Camaro and I've got no audio issues.
I just purchased the phone, but slacker worker flawlessly. Have not had a chance to try Pandora or other music apps yet.
Rush hour traffic this morning allowed me to do some additional testing. I found that Play Music is distorted with/without Beats and also regardless of how loud I have the Bluetooth output volume set. I don't have any full songs on the phone, so I opened the generic Music app and played back some of my ringtones. None of them were distorted coming over the radio, so I'm further puzzled about why Play Music would have such an issue.
I'm going to try Pandora on the way home to see if that is affected as well.
Another update: Pandora works great. Play Music is toying with me...

I just flashed a debloated ROM, so I'm going to try Play Music again with it being a non-system app.
I'm partial to Amazon for my music, curious to see how it works.

just got the phone less then 24 hour's and i had it crackle when i had it playing in my civc! it didn't do that yesterday, but today i noticed when i played deadmau5. maybe i had to turn it down one or two notches. maybe volume has something to do with it!

I've tried it as low as 50% on the volume bar. I'm thinking that the interference has to be with Play Music, Beats, and my car's amp. Or some combination of the two since my S3 did not have the issue, and my work iPhone plays just fine.

It's a [decent] stock system, so I'll have to check around for that info.
So now that I finally managed to phrase it correctly, there are a lot of other people reporting the same issue, and it appears to affect Sense ROMs due to the factory settings for the Bluetooth stack. AOSP does not seem to be affected.
https://www.google.com/search?num=20&q=htc+one+bluetooth+audio+distortion
I just got my HTC One from Verizon yesterday and noticed a horrible sound quality when streaming music through Bluetooth. I'm streaming to LG CM4530 stereo system. The distortion is just unbearable during high pitches. The problem persists regardless the volume in both the phone and stereo, the app used (tried Pandora and Play Music), turning Beats Audio off or even cancelling the EQ on the stereo system. I'm convinced that it's not the app because I just replaced my old and slow Droid 2 Global loaded with 2.3.4 Gingerbread and never had any problems with A2DP sound distortion. (Yes, ironic.)
Many point that the problem is on the stock HTC ROM, but I haven't hear of any fix so far. Any suggestion?
Sorry to revive an old thread, but have other users with the sound-over-bluetooth distortion issue found any way of solving it other than flashing an AOSP ROM?
