BT sound quality issues - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with bluetooth sound issues during calls with the S3?
Since getting my S3 I have tried 2 different BT headsets Jawbone Era and a Plantrantics M165. Both I get people telling me that it sounds horrible.
I'm hopeing someone else has seen nthis and knows a fix.
Thanks
Jesse

Yes stock rooted per Mr. Rodinsons no trip method.
Is there a better ROM for BT quality?

I have used bt in both my cars and haven't had any complaints.

A good modem for CMX?

Would anyone have any suggestions to which radio to use for CMX? I had tmo note radio which works good except callers complain about muffle. Then I tried Blaze 4G which seems to run slower especially watching videos.

The muffle isn't caused by a radio. It's cause you don't have noise suppression checked in phone settings

How well your radio works depends on your location. Muffeled voice is a ROM issue. Is noise suppression checked?

Increase bluetooth volume and quality

Is there anyway to get louder bluetooth volume on a phone call and better quality.. I had the sammy victory 4g and volume was crazy loud and quality of sound was amazing for a cheap low end phone

havent really noticed any issues on my lg tones, jambox or my bt head unit....what are you connecting to?

I am using a blue parrot headset.
I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Legend and the volume does seem a little low even at maximum. It can be a bit staticy sometimes as well. Neither issue is so bad as to be annoying though. I had thought that the issue was with the Plantronics, but I suppose it's just as likely that the problem is with the Note. I haven't searched for a solution yet.

I have tried my headset with my wifes gs3 and my old phone photon and it is crazy louder with those phones, then I connect if back to my note2 and the voice prompt and commands are loud but when on a phone call isnt nearly as loud....

Silly question...but did you turn it up? I think there is a setting that adjusts in call volume to a lower level by default

I've seen the same thing. Its a software thing because on Jellybomb 5.1 the volume us definitely louder but still not loud enough. My same BT headset was much louder on my Evo and is much louder on my WP7.

Ya I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out I have tried multiple Bluetooth headsets and all them get quiet when you start taking but use thm on other phones and are louder
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Any super smart developer that can figure this out there has to tweaks somewhere to increase the max volume
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I would Definitely say its a problem with the note. The volume is way low on a call. I use a Moto hx550 and my GS3 worked great with it.
I have been following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
and tried the tweaks by editing manually, but it didnt help bluetooth volume. So I'm either not tweking the right volume values or there will have to be another solution found. Its frustrating, but hopefully something will come out of one of these threads...
I have an issue with my Note 2 Bluetooth quality as well. Using Motorola Elite Silver. Seems to be perfectly fine with playing music and as soon as I initiate a call the quality degrades their voice breaks up as well as mine. Works fine with other devices, currently have tried on a couple different ones in the Sprint store I work at.
Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

What rom/kernel are you running? If its a tw rom with a compatible kernel you could try STweaks.
It has an option to increase standard volume limits.

Hmmm, its got to be rom related then. If your headset works fine on a different phone, then thats all thats left. There is one last option for you
I use a jawbone icon I got fron ebay.
What really made the difference for me...jabra ear gels. They look crazy! But they hold inside the ear without a hook. An it tunnels the sound dramatically. $6 for a full set left and right.
Honestly bud, this made night and day difference! Sadly their not available in any store anymore. But online everywhere!
If sound is this much an issue for you. I would say the $6 is worth a try.

There should really be a VLC-like setting on all ROMs that allows you to go above 100% on bluetooth volume if you choose to.

Galaxy Note II speakers sound like breaking?

I got my galaxy note II today and im so happy! Way better then my galaxy s III.
okay I just have 1 little problem. Whenever I put my sound volume max like listening to a song on youtube or if im talking to someone on the phone using speakers. It sounds like its going to break. does anyone have that problem?
I do.. its especially bad when hooked up to my fm transmitter. Im sure its just software related though.

A speaker cracking is in no way software related. It is related to the horrible quality of the speaker.

I don't have that issue...I would take it back for an exchange. Sounds like a defective speaker.

Its the audio chip within the Note 2. ALL Note 2s do this so replacing it wont do much. Look it up for yourself. Its most noticeable at max volumes even with earphones in.
Mine is perfect idk what you guys are talking about ?!

Make sure the rom you are running dosnt have the higher volume mod

Ditto
Mine sound fine to me over speaker or headphones.
Mine sounds so bad. I've never hear a speaker on a phone that sounds this bad but I traded my Nexus 4 for this Note 2 and the speaker isnt a "huge" deal to me. I wounder if i replace it how long it will last until it blows again... Anyone know if the speaker is under warranty?

Bluetooth issues

Ok... So I have the Blueant Q2 and i'm having problems with the quality. When connected listening to music, if I put the phone in my pocket the BT cuts in and out.. Not to mention if I walk a few feet from my phone. When I had my Vibrant I could walk atleast 30ft with out issue. I have the Ballistics case installed. I didn't know if I was the only person having this issue. Could it be a modem issue. I have had the BT replaced thinking it was bad and have reset it many times trying to clear the problem but no go. I thanks for any assistance.

Wicked... Stock kernel.. But it did the same thing with frosty and stock stock.. Thinking maybe I try with out the case.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I actually have the same case. And never had issues with BT connection only audio quality as in a static sound but with KT kernel and Ktweaker it gives an option to bump up your min MHZ when BT is paired and usually clears up the static for me. Although on some occasions on my JVC head unit it will disconnect and reconnect when in use thats about it but that's rare.

[Q] Earpiece not working, volume tweaking!

Well I noticed that my earpiece quit working on the N2 today and my volume goes down all on its own... any ideas? It was dropped bu only like 18". Its taken many falls in the past with no problems...
[EDIT]
SO, I am not so sure its a fall thing... It fell at about 2pm and I have made and received calls SINCE then just fine... It's degenerative. Examples: First, I could not hear out of the handset earpiece... but people could hear me. Now, a few hours later, they can also NOT hear me which indicates the phones mic is not working... IF I turn on Speaker Phone, it works fine and I can communicate just great with anyone/everyone... also works with my car hooked up to Bluetooth just fine... So, could the Tweaked ROM I am running be screwing with something? Should I just try to flash another ROM and see what happens? I have already tried the last modem and the newest modem, both which had no effect on the situation... Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I would try another ROM to see because I am having somewhat similar issues with no drops at all. I had this in TOUCHWIZ and it was bad. But when I switched to PAC-rom I have different volume issues. Certain (newer I believe) headphones play either double out the phones as well as my integrated speaker and once I had the volume phreak out going up and down inadvertently.
I just love my ROM sooo much that I am dealing with it for now. PAC-rom 4.3 JB nightly updates on Galaxy note 2.
