Hi,
Coming from gnex... so I'm used to stock android ROMs...
So I flashed CM10 and another ASOP ROM onto the gs3... Having two issues...
1) I found that Google Music does not start playing when I connect to bluetooth with my car stereo... even if I press the button on the bluetooth.. I have to start Music manually.
2) The music quality is horrible... there's no bass at all... something is really wrong here... even playing with EQ it does not do anything... sound is very hollow... flat....
I never had these problems with my gnex and stock android roms... even the stock touchwiz for the gs3 from bell it was fine...
Anyone has any ideas?? I really don't want to put touchwiz roms on... If there's no workaround... I think I'm gonna get a nexus4.....
thanks!
This seems to be a common problem with Jelly Bean roms. My phone does the same thing. There are threads in the forums with temporary fixes, but I would say stick it out for another couple days until 4.2 becomes available to us from the developers. PLEASE don't go back to TouchWiz :crying: the nightmares.
-Brandon
I just hope 4.2 comes out soon... I miss my gnex....

Not sure if you're experiencing this issue I'm about to tell you about, or something else.
But a release or two ago (not sure if it's fixed yet), the bass was "broken" for bluetooth on CyanogenMOD/AOSP.
Everyone who updated their CM10 started to experience a loss of bass when using bluetooth.
Prior to that it had been fine.
If it hasn't been fixed yet, I'm sure it will be soon. There is a "workaround fix" listed in the CM10 thread.
In general though, music via bluetooth is a big step down in audio quality vs. using the USB audio, which is now working in CM10.

oh ok... let check it out.
thanks!
those threads can get so long... hard to follow every post..
So it seems the workaround is to make a call beforehand...
Are there any vanilla android roms that don't have bluetooth issues for our s3?
TW roms seem to have crappy battery life...

Is there anyone else having issues with the sound of Pandora using new ROMS. I tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, made sure high quality was set, tried to look for the media setting in the build prop and change it but that setting disappeared a few releases ago, and have searched through everything and still have a hard time listening to Pandora in the car because of the quality. I am not saying it is as poor as it was when 2.2 first came out but it is poor. The voices are tinny and turned way up is piercing to the ears. Base is great! But that is it. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I got rid of XM radio years ago and am strictly using Pandora.
Use the modded transparent unlimited skip version in the transparent market thread in theme section its in the opening post with a link all by its self at the bottom. Make sure you delete all Pandora data and cache as well as removing Pandora. Quality is perfect. I'd link it but I'm on xda app.
Also don't update it.

If your running CM look to see if you have DSP Manager, and make sure it's not compressing the audio, or the equalizer is on. I had compression somehow turned on one time by accident. Turned it off and it was worlds better.
I haven't had an issue with the sound quality...I agree with Mithos, perhaps your DSP settings are off?
I have had an issue with Pandora over Bluetooth dropping out, though. Happens only on first connect, if I turn Bluetooth off and on again it seems to resolve the issue...
Nope did not have compression on and I have DSP. I also download slacker and it does the same thing. I guess since it is just me maybe there is osme other program that is causing the issue. Have no clue which one since it is pretty much stock

Just want to let everyone know, a while back I was complaining about Pandora and Slaker. I decided to try a differnt ROM just to see if it was an issue with 7 and it appears that it is. I loaded Nils' Business Sense and it sounds great. To me there is a big change and I am not sure what it is. I did try multiple kernels. The thing is it sounds OK in a headset or listening it through a speaker on the phone but putting it on the car stereo where you amplify the music you can really hear some sound artifacts.
I clean installed the "stable" release of CM10 the other day when it came out. My Bluetooth audio has been horrible since. The volume is really low but worse is that the quality is not good either. For phone calls it's use able but I connect it to my car and play music on it too. Needless to say, it makes the music just awful. I also use it with my Big Jambox in the house and this is awful too. I tried wired connection with the Jambox and it was great so it seems to be only Bluetooth audio. I was on CM10 night lies before flashing the stable one. I have tried clean installing the night lies that came after and still the same problem. One thing I haven't tried is clean installing the night lies before the stable version, like I had before. I just wanted to see if others are having this problem and if there is a fix for it first.
I am having the same problem. Is there a fix for this yet? I've been searching and found something about replacing a line in a .conf file however it was posted in gs2 forum.

Yeah I tried reverting the conf fine and it broke a2dp

I just went back to the Experimental one before they released the stable and of course, the bluetooth audio is back to being good. Haven't flashed any of the nightlies since then. Anyone try the latest nightlies and see if any of them work?
Making a call (to any number... I called my voicemail) then hanging up will fix the quality. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
Is there a bluetooth audio fix for cm10? I love the rom, and don't want to go back to using stock. However, unfortunately the bluetooth audio in my car just does not work. When it connects it lacks bass, and volume. I've seen others say they have this problem as well. The workaround was to make a call and hang up, and when the music started to play again it had proper volume. I flashed cm10.1 to check it out and when I flashed back to cm10 this workaround no longer worked. Bluetooth is worse than ever now, and when I make a call or take a call it doesn't reconnect after I hang up.
I have seen a couple of posts detailing fixes but none I have tried have worked. Does anyone know if any of the other CM10 based roms or AOKP have integrated a bluetooth fix? Or if there is a fix for CM10 I can apply myself?

I have been using slimbean. I don't seem to have the issues you are having. Granted its a 4.1.2 ROM. But in my experience I have had the best luck with this ROM. It has for me been the most stable, and the least troublesome.
I have exactly the same problem on AOKP

Yeah I found some code someone posted on another web site. Some were saying that some people have implemented the fix already but CM10 definitely doesn't work. I tried changing the sampling rates etc but no luck.
I've tried many custom ROMs in the original development forum (cyanogen, task's, baked, slimbean, open kang, liquidsmooth, vanilla rootbox, paranoid android and I think one was called paranoidKangdroid). I've tried 4.1 and used madmack's revert with 4.2. It got my Bluetooth music streaming to "work" but I still find the audio isn't as clear as stock. With any custom I've tried there seems to be a lot of digital clipping. Depending on the type of music I'm listening to it becomes more noticeable. Basically anything with heavy drums or guitars clips the audio. I've tried lowering the output level on BT volume but that didn't solve anything.
I am aware BT audio is broken with 4.2 I'm only referring to 4.1 and madmack's revert on 4.2 (I'm a noob and I don't know how to put it in technical terms but from what I understand madmack's revert brings part of the software back to 4.1....or pre dec26 when bluetooth audio streaming broke)
Has anyone else noticed this clipping problem and have you found any solutions? I'm also wondering if it could be a problem specific to my phone but for whatever reason when I go back to stock, music streaming is totally clear.
Also, aside from madmack's revert fix I've never flashed anything but the ROMs themelsves. I have never tried to install a driver or a kernel seperatelt and I'm wondering if that's something worth trying.

I was trying to pair my s3 to my stock car radio so I could stream music through the phone but for some reason it doesnt work anymore after I flashed a rom. Is there something in stock that I'm missing?
I'm currently on Wicked 2.0 and tried pairing but everything works except the music. I remember when it worked fine on stock but during pairing it gave me a 2nd option during connection called gconnect, gmusic or g something lol. My car is a 2012 that has a2dp capability and it did work the other day prior to flashing so before I go back stock any other ideas?
Well as always try restarting your phone, and maybe delete pairings that you have seen. Sometimes when I've paired, I believe it saves so you can do it easier. Just try deleting that and then retry. I may have it confused with something else though

Be sure to check the changelogs of the Roms you are using to see if that is a known issue, as well as, search the specific thread for the Rom for any issues related to bluetooth streaming issues. Though I'm not familiar with Wicked 2.0, if it's an AOSP rom, they have had a2dp issues from time to time. If it's touchwhiz, you'll want to see if it could be a kernel related issue.

I went to CyanogenMod 10.1-201330121-EXPERIMETNAL-d2spr-M1 and I have the same issue. I can no longer get Bluetooth audio to stream music properly. It starts fine, but then after a few seconds I get this weird slowing-down and skipping distortion.
I've unpaired, repaired, turned off everything, turned it all back on, taken out the battery, etc. The whole 9 yards, and I'm still getting the same thing every time I try and stream music.

With AOSP roms, such as CyanogenMod, a2dp has been a consistent issue. However, the recent beta of LiquidSmooth, 3.2.1, is what I currently have running on my GS3 and it had some sort of a2dp fix in it that restored streaming quality to bluetooth. Give it a shot. It'll operate similarly to CM10.1.
Flash the latest nightly of CyanogenMod for working a2dp. It wasn't working on the M1.

Could see anything noted beside me. i think it is an asop rom but can get it to stream music. I might go to cm10.1 or back to stock. I love this rom but I need my streaming audio lol
Works great for me on jelly bomb v13. I stream music to my headset and a portable speaker daily over Bluetooth.

CM 10.1 is AOSP. Any ROM under the "original development" thread is usually AOSP based. AOSP is what has had the A2DP issues, but recent versions of CM 10.1 & my ROM of choice, LiquidSmooth 3.2.1, have seemingly got the bluetooth issues fixed.
finally figured out just encase anybody ever needs to know but it was called GmusicConnect. It popped up but had to be done under aux out and config >bluetooth music pairing. totally separate menus then the actual phone call pairing
