Audio delays when using Bluetooth headphone - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone find this problem? I just bought an Creative's Bluetooth headphone exclusively to watch movie or play video games. After experiencing nearly 2 hours, I found audio always lay 1 second. It really annoy me when I am playing video games. You can think of that you are watching bomb blowing up without explosive sounds. I tried iOS, everything is okay. You can't find any audio delays whatever you play games or watch movies. I searched this problem on the internet and found out people who bought Asus transformer pad experience the same problem. They said ICS and KNow have the same problem. Does it mean this is a Android OS's problem? Could it be fixed by custom rom? I absolutely don't like buying a Bluetooth headphone($50:banghead exclusively to pick up phone call. By the way,I am now using Android HD Rom.

I've been using BT headphones with Android devices for years, and whilst I've seen this before it has usually been on older devices and related to the video app itself losing sync, rather than Bluetooth per se.
I've had no such problems with my Note 2, using a wide variety of different bluetooth headsets, and I watch a lot of video on my device. My Note 2 is still bone stock, so I suggest trying a different ROM first of all to see if it makes any difference.
Regards,
Dave

I get a bit of Bluetooth lag when watching movies with my Creative headset. I use BSPlayer and that has an option to offset the audio of videos, so the problem goes away. Not ideal, but it works very well.

Do you use custom kernel or stock?

I've always had a delay with Bluetooth in games, regardless of which device I'm using. (pc, psp, vita, LG O2x, Note 2)

I have always experienced a little lag when calling with BT headset.
Tried SonyEricsson headsets, and for now I'm on a Jawbone Icon.
On all phones I have tested, there's this nagging delay in sounds.
When it comes to games, music and such, I have no idea
since I very rarely indulge in that kind of activities...

Which Bluetooth headphone you're using now?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

currently I'm using a Jabra Halo 2, a Jabra street, and a Jabra Clipper.
I also own a Nokia BH-503(might be knock-off, seems good but price was low and the place I got it from has a lot of knock-off products)
and I used to own a Samsung neckband headset(don't know the exact model) and an original Jabra Halo.
all of them had a delay with games on every device I used them with.
to my knowledge the only reason this doesn't happen with movies is because media players can put the sound out of sync by just the right amount to counter this delay.

Gonna test my Sony mw600 when I get home. I don't recall having this problem.

Did you try iOS device? My Bluetooth headphone works great with my iPad. You can't feel any lag when you are playing game or watching movie. So I think it might be bug of Android. By the way , how is Jabra halo 2? Does it sound better than other Bluetooth headphone that you've experienced. I used to like it due to its fancy looks but I end up not picking it because I found some complaints that Bluetooth connection might be stoped sometimes and recover in 1 second. I eventually picked Creative wp-250.

I was using Perseus, now trying Adam. I still get the lag on both kernels, but it doesn't matter when playing videos, as the player can offset the audio, negating the audio lag

I have the same problem with my jabra. Even typing sound is delayed. I don't remember having this problem with my previous phone (motorola atrix). At the moment I have Phoenix v11 installed with custom kernel...

Yeah ,I tried mxplayer and get no lags but game and YouTube not. I am frustrated by this....if I knew this problem, I wouldn't buy a new Bluetooth headphone.....:banghead:
By the way do you feel any difference between Perseus and Adam according to your experience? It is said Perseus is the best custom kernel for note 2......

Bluetooth A2DP

Looking for some help, i want to experiment a little to fix an issue i have. I regularly run juggernaut because i have a bluetooth capable stereo in my car with A2DP support which works great. The problem is i want to try some other roms im running paradox and love it however there is a feature that works in juggernaut but none of the other roms. With juggernaut i can press the buttons on my stereo to change songs but on other roms it doesnt work i have to use the phone. Can someone point me to any apks or files to try extracting to make it work the same?

Waiting an hour isn't always gonna yield answers, seems this would be a dev specific question. So, I would PM Whitehawkx for a foolproof answer, good luck & let us know how it goes !
May try that i assume devs are busy n wouldnt bother with a question lol i was just hoping someone knew. Might try to move all the bluetooth apks n see if that works.

I use player pro with my sony xav-62bt and everything but the display works. I can use the gestures to control my phone and all. Only thing is that it does not display my artist or track info on my screen of my headunit. Stock samsung player shows info on my screen but i cant control my phone through headunit. Weird.

I got it figured out actually stock player works just fine now with it running a pioneer avh 2300dvd with the cd btb200 bluetooth module, calls and audio are great. With the paradox rom the bass is crazy on my system which is what i wanted to get to work because i loved the sound but not that i couldnt flip through songs. Just bought poweramp due to the 1.99 sale so ima see if that works with the bluetooth as well. Doesnt seem like many people use a2dp in there car i thought id get answers but its totally worth every penny i paid for it. Its the only reason i thought the iphone was great because of its stereo compatibility but now this is on point. 1800 watts of streaming greatness is coming out my galaxy now .

You wont be disappointed its a great rom looks wonderful.

Wait so, with Paradox ROM, more than just the stock music player shows track data on a2dp headunits? On Juggernaut I can only get the stock music player to do this, but controls work fine with it.
I think the track info is dependant on the headunit it requires different profile other then A2DP. I cant remember what ite called AVCRP or something like that.

Stuttering music

Hello folks,
I got my galaxy note 2 for 3 days now, but when I want to play mp3 music then the problems come. Music is stuttering all the time. I'm not using bluethoot or anything like that. Has anyone too this problem or a fix?
Cheers,

There is some problem with your speaker. Better get it replaced. I suppose you are getting it normal when you listened through the ear phones.

Funnily enough, I noticed a stutter on some music tracks today when using the default music player.
My mp3's are stored on a 64gb class 10 SanDisk sd card if that makes any difference.
I'm using player pro ... for my music player ... and I had this happen once .. but it was some bad mp3 files .. Blahhhhhhhhhh

Possible, but i'm still running stock kernel, rom and radio. I think i'm going to the store and maybe they send my phone for repair. I'll keep you guys up to date
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Mmm, just noticed, mine is a bluetooth issue, motivated most likely by the custom kernel/rom I'm running..., the shuttering gets worse if I move away from the phone, anything beyond a couple of meters == no sound at all.
im having this problem also
i havent identified why it is but im getting alot of dalvikvm concurrent and for_alloc freed in my logs
things i've tried:
overclocking
set the minimum to 500 mhz
changed cpu govenor
another music player(winamp)
removing any games that i've installed
and then i flashed it with a custom rom, and i still get lag spikes ;/
http://pastebin.com/XQJNyVng
the lag comes when the dalvikvm shows up in log
i notice that it only happens when the screen is off
auto memory manager (play store) and set "empty apps" to 250 - its better but still Some stuttering
The auto memory manager fixed my probleem! I'm glad it fixed the laggy songs! Thanks!

Hi,
Read on one of the threads that when you transfer songs in bulk to the SGN2, they stutter, but if you transfer in batches of 5-6, the same songs play well.
yeh same problem here with stock music player :/
I have the same problem using the stock ROM and music player.
The stuttering seems random, and I have plenty of free memory (~750MB free).

yeh for me it is also random, sometimes i have listened for 2 hours music without stutters, later i get 1-3 stutters at one song. Especially i get stutters when screen is off or surfing the net. Noticed stutters at 4.1.2 firmwares, hadnt any problems with 4.1.1

I'm still on 4.1.1 actually.
Hmm I'm back to this problem. Stock Rom/Kernel. I'm rooted now.
Used the memory manager but the issues are still there. It's really weird. Did put them one at another on my SDcard trough USB.
When I zip my files put them on Dropbox and download them from my Dropbox then there is no problem..
Almost would think that the drivers are screwing the songs up in 320kbps.

Skype and Nexus 4

Hey guys, so I was wondering who else is having problems with Skype on their N4. I know I am because when I use Skype, after about 4-5 minutes into a conversation, my side gets cut off, the conversation becomes choppy, and my friends always complain why they cannot hear me. Our simple fix so far is just reestablishing the call, but that gets annoying (especially since we are usually on a game and chatting). Anyone else suffering problems with Skype?
Kind of a stupid question, but is it hardware failure (like my mic just randomly gives out on Skype) or is it just the app itself?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Try Google Hangout. If you still have the problem, it's likely a system issue. In all likelihood it's a Skype issue. Maybe un install and reinstall?
No issues with Skype here except for high battery usage.
I use Skype for about an hour every day it consumes about 30-40% of the battery.

Weird. Are you still using stock ROM or a custom ROM? If a custom ROM, which one? I am currently running on Android 4.2.1 (Stock ROM). I am even attempting to reflash the stock ROM to see if it would be resolved.
I use MoDaCo custom rom and no issues with Skype, both in 3G and Wi-Fi

Sorry, this is a stupid question, but what's RMA?
Also, I'm sure it's not an earpiece defect because it's the mic that acts up while I use Skype. Whenever I talk with them, I'm always using headphones. So I think I should be more worried about the mic.

I'm not going to lie, I had this issue as well on 2 calls with Skype in the past week, but I thought it was an issue with my Internet connection. Now I'm wondering what's going on exactly. Is there any way to test something like this? A faulty mic? How would one go about testing that if it's not a consistent sort of thing?

The same cut off probleme for me.
I use the CM10 nightly.
i ll try the stock to see.
I'm on stock ROM and have no trouble with Skype. I've used it for about 30 minutes on video calling, but it wore my battery down as well as used a lot of data. No doubt, the video and sound quality were both excellent.
Using CM10.1 made video call yesterday okay.

Yep this happened to me a few times before. Im guessing its the app ..
when the skype voice call goes into someone's voice mail nexus hangs
Hi everyone, I have a strange problem with skype on my nexus4; I have a nexus 4 running the stock 4.2.1 running and everytime i call someone if they pick up the phone everything's okay, but if they don't pick the phone and it goes to voice mail, my nexus 4 hangs and it does not become responsive unless i power the phone off and back on, and all this while the voice mail keeps going on. Similarly if the other party does not hang the phone the call just stays on and phone hangs again, i know this is a really weird one, please do let me know if anyone has seen this or something similar before.
I am stock 4.2.2 (no root) and have only used it once (short audio call). Worked OK except bluetooth is broken with old headset (phone audio profile), which works great on Nexus S using Skype and Nexus 4 with the native SIP client.
Skype has been a hit and miss with the various versions over the past few years and much more unstable since Microsoft got their hands on it.

[Q] 4.3 and BT: did it fix the "skipping" sound?

Has anyone tried 4.3 and played music over BT?
Especially I'd like to hear from these who experienced sound skipping issues on stock 4.1.2 (when sound stops for 1/10 - 1 second, sometimes ones an hour sometimes few times a minute especially if phone wasn't rebooted for a very long time)
I just hope it's something software related and not hardware. S3 for example has same issues, and some say it's even worse, S4 doesn't seem to have it at all.
The skipping sound used to happen to me on 4.1.2 (on 4.1.1 i ddnt experiemce issues) Now on 4.3, i havent expirienced the skipping issues yet.. but wht do u mean over BT?

Sound is cracking whenever playing music or you tube

Hi guys,
My galaxy s3 seems to be working perfectly except for a sound issue. It seems like whenever I listen to music or YouTube the sound just cuts in and out. I dont know of it's an app that I've added or what. It doesn't matter if it's on the internet or being played from my device. The sound stutters and its so hard to listen to anything. Anyone offer any help please?

So it works fine through headphones? Have you tried music that is already on the device and receive the same issue?
Since you said custom rom, I would use a tar and odin back to factory stock to see if you still have the issue.
