Bluetooth audio streaming issue - HTC One X

Hi All,
I am having issues with streaming A2DP audio to wireless headsets.
It works fine to a range of about 15cm, then it stutters and stops. I have used a generic $20 headset as well as a Plantronics Backbeat 904+ and they are the same. I tested the Plantronics headset on a SGSIII and it worked to about 10m range.
My ONe X however works fine when streaming to the head unit in my car. Its an OEM VW 9w7 bluetooth unit under the drivers seat. I can take the phone about 5m away outside the car and it still works.
Is there any BT settings I can tweak with respect to buffers, bitrates etc or is my phone faulty? I have tried stock JB ROM as well as current ViperX with a variety of different kernels.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
I have the same problem with my Jabra Sport Headphones although my distance isn't to bad the audio is shocking.
Did you resolve your issue?
Cheers

BT audio is very bad on the hox, I'm running cm 10.1 which helps a bit as you cab edit the EQ however the audio is still very compressed.

I resolved the issue by giving the phone to my wife and getting an HTC one. That works fine. My one x is obviously faulty.

Bluetooth Car Speaker

Does anyone know a Bluetooth car speaker that will connect with the HTC One X?
Something that will play out anything that I play on my HOX as the volume on the phone is a but low, then I'll be able to hear the sat nav.
There's a few on Amazon but HTC and Bluetooth has always been a bit dodgy.
I've tried searching but the Tapatalk app keeps searching in all catagories even when I select just this forum.
Anyone?
Bluetooth is a standard, so in theory any BT device (i.e: speaker, hands free unit, headset etc..) should work with One X. I have tried my phone with 3 BT devices (an A2DP clip, a car head unit and a headset), without any major issues.
Instead of getting a crappy mono speaker, why not get a BT FM transmitter, or if you have an Auxilary input on your car stereo then a BT adapter that connects though Aux port (better sound quality compared to FM)
I am using super tooth HD, which works fantatiscally well, with everything that can be played; n bt, calls, notification, GPS, music...

I watched a video on you tube about the super tooth hd and there was something about a subscription charge for certain services is that the case with yours

Venturi Mini
I use a Venturi Mini. BT and FM (my stereo has no aux input)
Excellent sound quality. Anything played by the phone plays through the car speakers.
I find it excellent. Now difficult to get new - but one on Ebay at present

Good luck
Awesome thanks everyone I'll have a look at these later.
I use a jabra cruiser 2, paired with my HOX and listen to music through my car stereo. I can't remember the lat time I put a CD in my car stereo

Awful sound quality to my car's AUX in.

Hi there --
I'm a recent convert to the GS3 (and Android in general) from an iPhone 4. About all the music I listen to in my car was from my iPhone, and I want to do the same with my GS3, however, the sound quality from the 3.5mm jack to the AUX in on my car's deck is absolutely awful. I have to turn the volume much higher than I ever did with my iPhone or iPod, and even then the sound quality is very poor -- there is very little punch/bass in the music.
I've been researching a possible "USB car dock cable" which would allow me to get line out audio (rather than through the regular headphone jack) through the USB port on the bottom of the phone, but it seems the only solution is to buy a dock or DIY the cable yourself, nobody seems to sell them (and I'm not really willing to DIY a cable).
Any ideas what I might be able to do to improve the audio quality? I absolutely love the phone, but this is a pretty big caveat for me.
Mine sounds great, do headphones sound ok? Maybe your aux port is effed up. If that's the case exchange it ASAP. Are you rooted? Custom rom? Stock?

Headphones sound fine from my GS3, and other devices (iPhone/iPod) sound great on the same AUX jack in my car.
I am rooted running the leaked Bell Jellybean Touchwiz ROM.
Be interested to see what replies there are to this. I have the exact same problem. I find the volume is way too quiet and if I turn up the audio on my stereo I get an awful hissing noise. I have no problems on my sensation XE, only GS3. Headphones work fine so I seriously doubt its the aux port on the phone.
I have found some info that might help as your rooted.....

Im running the same rom and was having the same problem. I uninstalledGoogle Play music and then it asked me to update Google Play Music even though I had uninstalled it. When I did, my sound issues were gone. I was having tje same problem in my car. Now everything's fine.

I also found that first link, but it only works on the International version of the GS3, I have the AT&T i747.
I have a 07 lexus, with an older bluetooth profile that does not allow for streaming music. I found a belkin product, caraudio connect, that will create a streaming a2dp profile through my aux port. On my s3/att/ics (stock), everything worked great. I had a profile for my phone audio and another for my media audio, and could connect both at the same time. This was great as i did not have to switch to aux for phone calls.
However, i had issues with hiss, drops, static, engine noise, etc. I had used many ground loop isolators in the RCA/car audio world, but never one on a 3.5mm stereo (double pole) connection. After adding the inline isolator from my aux port to the belkin product, my engine noise disappeared! I also found that when i updated to JB (CM10/sapir), both bluetooth profiles could operate at the same time without any interference issues on each profile.
If you have any questions on my rig, let me know.
parts:
Sorry, im new so it doesn't let me post outside links.
belkin: Part # F4U037tt
Ground loop isolator: Check out amazon, PAC Ground loop isolator for 3.5 MM applications. should be about 10 bucks.

Interesting topic. I've had issues with other phones where the volume couldn't be turned all the way up, as that would cause distortion. Have you tried turning your volume down a couple notches? I use my phone plugged into my car stereo all the time with zero distortion.
Could be hardware problem?

I just got the galaxy s3. Moved over from iPhone land. But am disappointed with this issue.
When I use the aux in via headphone jack and charge at the same time I get a horrible whine cracking and popping noise. This is unusual to me as I never had this issue with any of my I phones (3g and 4). This seems like a glaring oversight on Samsung part.

wireless audio bleutooth a2dp

I read somewhere that we could use Bluetooth a2dp device on our N5 but can not find it.
Has anyone tried it? With what device and did it work?
And if it worked did it work good?

A2DP was a Bluetooth profile that became famous in the Bluetooth 2.0 era and stayed... Its what causes the back and for relay of stereo music and audio from the mic back and forth from headset to handset...
Generally almost all headsets which are all stereo bluetooth Bluetooth 2.0 and above will always have a2dp profiles... Just look in the product descriptions when your looking at a headset.
I'm still waiting on my N5 but I had last used a Sony MW600 on my Nexus4 and it was naturally a2dp and worked great...
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk
A2DP works fine on the N5. I have connected it to a Sony MW600, Samsung HS3000, JBL Flip, and Kenwood KIV-BT901 (BT module for a Kenwood deck). Pairing was no problem and it sounds fine (it is wide bandwidth as far as bluetooth goes, but it won't sound as good as using the headphone jack of course).
Hey I heard somewhere that the N5 has a color screen. Can anybody confirm it has a color screen and what colors that screen can display? thanks.

Have you not tried using the N5 with your car stereo yet? If so, don't rule it out so fast. I've been very impressed with the N5 audio quality paired via bluetooth with my car's stereo. I'm quite picky about sound quality as well.
No cause I absolutely hate the way you browse on the radio with android that's why I use the head phones jack. The audio works via Bluetooth but I want my to control with my phone and not the radio because of that.

anyone know how well Bluetooth audio works with Bluetooth 4.0 devices? a lot of sites ive been too claim better battery life, and superior audio quality to 2.0. I am planning getting this and hacking it into my car stereo. contacted the seller and he claims its Bluetooth 4.0, so would audio be better than 2.0, and also would battery life for my nexus 5 be better than streaming to a Bluetooth 2.0 device?
forgot to add the link.....heh

No apt-x... So if streaming is really a big deal to you, this may not be the best phone.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you ever actually care about sound quality, do not use bluetooth. AptX or not, 2.0 or 4.0, doesn't matter, bluetooth on a good day sounds like a 96kbps MP3. This isn't just in regards to the Nexus 5, this is every bluetooth device ever. I've used Macbooks, iPads, several Android phones, several car stereos, headsets, and more. Never have I been terribly impressed.
Basically, if you want quality that is about as good as an FM transmitter, you're fine. It's great for calls and other voice functionality. But anyone with a discerning ear, stick with cables. Myself, I cringe every time I hear a song with any cymbals or high range instruments.

Bluetooth 4.0 will not give you better audio quality or improved battery life on devices which stream audio.

Bluetooth headset

I like to use bluetooth headsets to talk to the phone. With all my previous phones (samsung,lg,zte,huawei) I have always used Nokia bluetooth headsets. With this phone people don't hear me good with my Nokia headsets. So can anyone suggest me a headset that works perfectly with the One?
Plantronics Voyager Legend. I've had many BT headsets, and this one is the best by far. I can stand 2 feet away from a running diesel engine, and the person on the other end asks me why I'm shouting. The noise cancellation is just unbelievable with this thing.

That site doesn't help. I know where to buy bluetooth headsets and I know that generally all are compatible with the phone. What I would like to know is from users that use bluetooth headsets if they have to suggest a specific bluetooth headset that they use and know that it doesn't make noise to them or to the others that they talk with.
take this with a grain of salt as I don't use the phone feature that much.
my old LG hbs-700 worked very well, great sound and good phone reception as well, I received or placed phones while in gym, biking, etc.
I know there is a newer version featuring apt-x as well, you might wanna search for reviews on this.
since then I moved to on-ear headsets, I really like this telme2 headset I bought a couple of months earlier, good sound again, very rich, apt-x, no lag streaming audio from tv; I have also used mostly to receive calls, no complaints here, the phone reception is OK on both ends.
I also own the sennheiser mm 400-X, I have used very little for calls, but seems to do the job OK. however this latter device it's much more expensive, imo too expensive to justify its features..

Thanks !!!!

Have been using the 10 with Ford Sync over BT, a Bose BT adapter, Jaybird Bluebuds X, and at least two other BT speakers since February. No problems. I now also have a stock Verizon 10 and that also plays to BT audio without problems. Note that you will *not* have the same circuitry you can use on the wired headphones, but sound quality will be as good as the system to which you stream.
I've been having problems with bluetooth disconnecting every 10 minutes or so from my Appradio 4. But it reconnects within 10 seconds, so i'm not quite sure whats going on, and if its on the phone side or Appradio side.
