I am currently running the Purity 4.4 JB 4.2.1 version of Android on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I have tried several ROMS to no avail. I pair my phone to BT devices with no problem. The phone shows Media Connected in the Bluetooth settings however when I attempt to stream audio to my car or bluetooth speaker, the sound just plays on the phone. I have attempted to use several apps (including Google Music) to attempt to force the sound to the speaker with no luck. I've seen a bunch of issue threads where Bluetooth issues ranging from audio quality being poor to issues with streaming. I haven't found a single response thread that solves the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thank you!

I have a LG Nitro HD running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.5. The bluetooth phone part works as I can make and receive calls with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010), but the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
It's been about a month and still no solution. Has anyone else come across this problem?
I do not have this problem. I have a Pioneer X930BT headunit in my car and my Nitro streams audio over bluetooth (A2DP) to it perfectly as well as phone calls.
Have you tried streaming Sirius or spotify over bluetooth? I found that the only app on the phone that streams audio to my car correctly is the pre-installed audio app that comes with the phone.
I can confirm google music and napster stream great over bluetooth. I have not used spotify or sirius for android.
Are you sure your car supports audio profile?
I stream spotify, tunein radio every day through bluetooth.
Spotify actually pauses when bluetooth connection is lost which is great for getting out of the car. I wish TuneIn would do it.

I have had the same problem with my nitro, it will automatically connect the phone but the media (A2DP) seems to drop automatically after connection. I've found if I manually re-connect to the receiver both will stay connected.

I, like you, use it every time I'm in the car so it's annoying but it's a fix until there is a valid solution like a update or properly built rom.
In your case I would delete all the phone profiles from the car memory and re pair them. A lot of cars have a seperate a2dp profile for streaming music and if you pair them seperately the car stereo thinks that it needs to be paired only with the cell phone while the phone says that is paired with phone and audio.
It is not a LG Nitro 4g issue. Updates/firmware would not fix it.

That seems to be your problem JoTomlin and Kaiser. Before I installed my new headunit in my subaru I had tons of issues with my captivate playing music over bluetooth because the car had seperate profiles for A2DP and handsfree. When I got my new headunit which has a single profile containing both A2DP and handsfree it all worked without headache on the captivate and now the nitro. This is a problem with your car stereo. If its anything like my subarus, it would prefer to connect to handsfree and it would have to physically disconnect handsfree to connect A2DP (I would have to manually connect via the bluetooth menu). I solved it by getting a tunelink bluetooth audio receiver so handsfree would connect to the stereo and to the tunelink at the same time. Eventually I got tired of that and bought a new headunit.
Apparently a lot of people have swapped out their factory Kizashi factory head units for something better. But again, you'll want to bug Suzuki about something like this.
FWIW, I can stream Pandora just fine over a VW headunit with factory bluetooth. I do have to sometimes to a reconnect/pair though.
Has anyone figured out this issue? I stopped using my Nitro for about 5 months and then just recently updated it with 4.0.4, but still have the audio issue. My Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't have this issue. It's frustrating because I really like the Nitro. The Bluetooth audio is a huge issue though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Did you factory reset after updating?
I'm loving the ROM but there's a glaring problem with audio constantly skipping/stuttering no matter what audio player I use. Is there a fix for this. I have tried reinstalling, full wipe, the whole nine yards and nothing works.
Well.. after a lot of troubleshooting on my end I can only conclude its a Bluetooth issue. I've tried wired headsets and 3 different Bluetooth headsets and they all had the same problem on Bluetooth.
If someone can present a resolution I'd be very grateful.
I'm having trouble listening to music on my E4GT when it comes to listening to music. Whenever I connect earphones the sound is automatically distorted and robotic sounding. But oddly, whenever I connect to my car audio auxiliary it plays fine. I try different options to pinpoint the problem, its not the headphones because they work with any other device (also tried multiple headphones) and its not a hardware issue because it works with my car stereo hookup. I havent tried portable speakers because I dont possess any. Its very frustrating.
Thing is this started recently, I havent changed roms or installed any apps.
Im on Jellybean 4.1.2, rooted running the latest MIUI from the Android Development thread..
Ive seen a thread before the issue started on a different forum site, but it has no search feature so I cant relocate it.
Can anyone help me out??
A week or so again I tried hooking up my A2DP bluetooth speaker with my S4, running a 4.2.2 ROM. This bluetooth speaker works great with iphones, my HP Touchpad running CM, and my Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.2. I tried it also with a friend's Note 2, running 4.1.2, and it works fine for him too.
The speaker is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Spracht-Portable-Wireless-Bluetooth-Connectivity/dp/B0023B1364
Though I've owned my S4 for 6 months, it may have been the first time I tried pairing it. It paired fine. However, any music streaming attempts fail horribly. It spurts out a few seconds of sound, then goes silent. Intermittently a few more seconds of sound may pop through. If I hit some of the buttons on the speaker (stereo widening, bass boost), a few more seconds pop through, and then nothing.
This is a bit different than some of the other complaints with 'poor quality' streaming. In this case, it doesn't truly stream much. I reverted back to complete stock and had the same problem.
I remember hearing that with 4.2, there were widespread reports of poor a2dp quality, supposedly fixed with the next version (4.2.1? I forget).
Thinking something might be wrong with the bluetooth on my phone specifically, I obtained warranty service and obtained another brand-new/refurbished S4. Right out of the box same problem. This new phone was also on 4.2.2, stock.
I simultaneously obtained a bluetooth adapter for my car, which is also apt-x capable, and it works great. Maybe the apt-x protocol supersedes the a2dp, I don't know.
Anyone else with an older a2dp (only) bluetooth speaker/headset with similar issues, running 4.2.2?
I have done extensive testing with both my HTC One and Samsung Galaxy Nexus regarding the phantom ringing noise that exists on bluetooth audio. This issue is not only present on streaming bluetooth audio but also present when the sound file is kept on the actual phone (using Google Play Music). So far I have tried the following:
1) Tried multiple roms both sense and aosp - the ringing/buzzing noise still exists on both (DEFINITION - PHANTOM RINGING/BUZZING NOISE - a buzzing series of overtones that exists particularly when listening to jazz music that has a lot of ride and crash cymbals being played) As a professional musician, this can be quite annoying.
2) Tried going back and forth between bluetooth and auxiliary cable on both phones (HTC One and Galaxy Nexus), trying AOSP vs. SENSE roms, streaming vs. non streaming. Both phones and all roms have the same issue present, the bluetooth audio has a fuzzy clarity to the cymbals. It is worth mentioning that the AOSP roms are slightly better in terms of less Phantom ringing/buzzing but far from perfect.
My question is, does anyone have a fix for this? I paid big bucks to have Bluetooth installed in my car and really want to use it.
The auxiliary cable sounds good until you plug your phone charger in.....that presents an even larger noise issue. Please help.
Thanks,

if 2 phones and different roms still cause the problem then it might be your BT system.
what music player are you using / do any of them have an EQ system you can adjust.
what BT system do you have?

I am using an Audiovox Media bridge, however, I do not think that is the issue due to the fact that the issue improves slightly on the Aosp ROM. Additionally, when I run the aux through the media bridge I have no issues.
I am using Google play music. I have tried adjusting the EQ using Viper ROM 5.0 and have had no success. Any other ideas?
