Sorry I am posting this here but I am only able to post in General at this time.
I have seen numerous issues with bluetooth audio posted but none which seem to match my issues that are happening which nearly each ROM I try. Currently I am using XenonHD if this helps. The audio is coming through my car stereo without and noise issues at all, bass/trebble sound great my issue is that every once in a while the audio will stop for 1/2 a second and then start back up. At some points this happens 2 or 3 times a song.
I have tested with the following.
1. Download a good MP3 directly to the phone and play with PowerAmp and built in player.
2. Stream from Spotify - Also download to local and play.
3. ROMS tested: Cyanogen, NovaGen, AOKP, XenonGen and many more.
4. My phone is less than 2 feet from the radio so distance is not an issue.
There is one ROM which did work a few weeks ago but drained my battery so fast I had to get rid of it. Has anyone else been having this issue? Is there a fix I am simply looking over?
Thanks all
I have the same issue. I thought it was just normal for BT. I notice that is worse in days with bad weather. It was even doing it back before I even rooted this phone.

Anyone know why when listening to music through blue tooth in the car and you make a call the song starts over. This does not happen when you take a call. It pauses which is great. The lte does not pause the song either. However the original evo did and I loved that feature especially when I am on a long drive listening to a 60 min set.
Have you tried poweramp? And you may want to get a special flame retardant suit, because I see many flames coming your direction for posting this in the development section. Just thought I would give you a heads up to get prepared.

Questions NEVER belong in Development.
Yea i'd try the trial version of Poweramp or another player. I doubt its the bluetooth signal
So here's a weird one. I'm running the release candidate for cm10.1 No problems as far as I can tell, then I go to play a podcast, and I'm only getting the right channel in my earphones.
When I play music, or play a podcast with the music player it plays just fine.
So the problem is the podcast app, right?
Well I uninstalled Beyondpod and installed Dogcatcher instead. And same problem. Only the right channel.
What is going on?? This is weird as hell.
Any ideas?
Make a Nandroid. Flash stock (rooted). If the problem persists then, unfortunately, it's your phone :thumbdown:

Is it with multiple podcast episodes you are listening to, or the same episode?

So basically my problem occurs when I have the volume set low at night while I'm listening to music or Youtube. When I do, at certain quiet parts, the volume basically mutes. As someone put it "It's like there is a noise gate blocking every sound below a certain threshold if the phone volume is not almost maxed." (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036229&page=1567). I've seen many people have the same problem, but I've been unable to find a permanent solution to it besides flashing a siyah or dorimanx kernel, but I'm not quite sure how to do that or if it's even possible on the E4GT. I'm running the CM10.1 Wild For The Night ROM. However, apparently, this problem is not exclusive to the E4GT. The thread I linked to was the other GT-I9100 s2, and I've found a different thread, though not on XDA, that has to do with the Galaxy Note. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me solve this problem because I almost always listen at low volumes, and this muting problem is very annoying. If worst comes to worst and I can't fix it, I might just flash AOKP and hope that fixes it.
Thanks

You might take a look at this thread,as it could be an issue with the dsp manager that I believe comes with cm10.1.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199134 Sorry I can't help more, I'll keep a look out..
Have the exact same problem with my E4GT. I get this issue when I watching videos (through Youtube, stock gallery video player, vlc player, and MX player) and when I listen to music (Apollo and poweramp) so I suppose it doesn't have anything to do with programs. Anyways I'm also running the wild for the night rom, so I suppose it's an issue with the kernel or something. Force stopping/disabling DSP manager does nothing to help. This must not be a very common issue, as I see this issue being mentioned scattered around in other threads but, seeing as there's no apparent solution other than flashing, there's no official thread for this. Good luck to us unfortunate few, eh? and please do post here if you find a solution! Hopefully this issue won't persist in cm10.2
im using hellkat the 2/23/14 build (I have t-mobile galaxy s2)...its a great ROM everything seems to be working fine except for streaming pandora via bluetooth.
When i start pandora (using version 5)...the music plays fine no issues. But when I turn on BT to stream to car or any other device the music just keeps skipping to next track (skips after attempting to play the current selection for about 10 secs....i say attempting because it stays on the current track attempts to play it but i dont hear anything and neither the progress_bar for song nor timer move).
Before Hellkat I was using BeanStalk 4.4.2 and pandora was streaming fine over BT.
Things I have tried to fix this none of these worked:
1. Turning off wifi then streaming
2. Went in to bluetooth setting > 'Visibility Timeout' > set to 'never'
3. Tried un-installing pandora and reinstalling.
4. Went into recovery mode, wiped cache/ delvik cache
I believe this is not a bluetooth issue because I can stream youtube audio over BT from my phone to external speakers/laptop/car and that works fine.
Is there a fix for this issue that I just can not find or is this known 'issue'? Any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks

Same problem here. I decided to switch over to Dirty Unicorn and everything works fine. Better battery life too. Unfortunately I could not post in the developer's thread to inform them of the problem.
similar behavior from other streaming audio apps
Have similar behavior on other streaming apps:
Spotify:
as soon as BT is turned on and connection is established there is no sound from phone or device the music is being streamed to. But the track does not keep skipping to next one like in pandora...its just silence.
if i turn BT off (on other device) while the song is 'playing' seems like the song status changes to 'pause' after a minute or so and if i press play ...music resumes with sound only from the phone.
Grooveshark:
If song already playing then establishing BT connection then nothing changes sound still comes from phone.
But if BT is established already then there is no sound from phone or other device. Until you break connection then press play on another selectin then sound resumes from the phone. I did a double check to make sure the volume was not turned down.
Rdio:
If BT is already established we get 'Media Player Error for {song}'
If we turn off BT and wait there is still not sound but it eventually causes reboot once it loops through a certain number of songs.
If you start rdio with BT off (turned off on remote device) then song starts with sound from phone.
If we turn on BT while a song is playing, connection is established but sound still comes from phone. But if you try to skip to next song, get Media player error again.
Having the same issue on Samsung exhilarate and cm 11 nightlies. It worked at one point in cm 11, but I can't pinpoint when it went awry...

Did anyone find the resolution to this problem? I switched to Dirty Unicorn and it works on and off. Sometimes it even turned off my bluetooth and I would have to reboot my phone to turn it back on.
Music Player does likewise
I have been using Avatar Rom for the last year or so and as most roms, it has its issues now and again. I am currently running the latest version based on CM11 and since I can't post on the developer thread I thought I would add my 2 cents here.
I have a set of bluetooth headphones and they work just fine except for recenlty on the latest kitkat verson of Avatar rom. It connects fine to the headphones. I can even start and stop the music from playing using the headset buttons, but when I hit play, the music progress bar goes full scale and hangs there for a time after which it advances to the next track and does the same thing. During all this there is no sound from the headphones. When I disconnect bluetooth it will then, after a time, begin to play the music from the phone speaker. I restored an earlier version of Avatar and tried it and it worked fine. I think it was a later version of Jelly Bean.
At any rate, it appears there is an issue with the CM11 KitKat. It may be KitKat all together. Since I haven't the posting history to post on the developer forum I decided to do it here. There was one post from someone on the develper thread that is having the same issue. Unfortunately the Avatar developement thread has very little activity and little or none from the developer. They are, however, still updating. At least they have a week or so ago.
Edit: Since there doesn't seem to be any immediate fixes for this issue I have reverted back to an earlier version of Avatar which uses CM 3.0.101 dated Jan 25th. This is working for now with the bluetooth headphones. I'll continue to use this one until such time as the issue is resolved or I find a ROM I like better.

I'm starting to think that the problem is with KitKat and not any specific custom ROM. I recently flashed The Collective and everything is working pretty good. The con to this is that the functions like "volume wake" is not implemented in this version
I also ran a search for "bluetooth" on each of the posts regarding new and active ROMs and it seems that their are very little mentioning of any fixes to this problem. It is as if there are little testing done regarding pairing the phone's bluetooth with the car's system. I would love to have this problem address but it seems that I don't have the correct amount of post to raise up the problem in the developer's thread. I hope this post catches developer's attention regarding this matter.
At the end of the day, I still love all these developers' work because without them, the S2 would've been dead a long time ago. :good:
Same issue.
Phone= Note 3 running TW kitkat on Tmobile
Connecting device: Ca-Fi Android head unit
Thinking its a Kit Kat issue. My head unit works fine when connected to another wifi source. Pandora never starts playing music. Just skips through songs.
I try streaming from phone to headunit over blutooth and pandora on phone keeps not responding. i have done factory resets, different phone roms, dns edits, congestion mods, network tweaks. same behavior regardless.
Fixed by turning off voice over LTE

When I connect Bluetooth to my car and try to stream music it start stuttering/ skipping like crazy, every second or so. I've tried it with multiple apps, Spotify, play music and YouTube same effect. Seems like Bluetooth can't handle the bandwidth. Never had this problem with my Nexus 5.
Anyone else have this issue?

It's been working great for me. Tried it with my VW Passat, Bose Soundlink Mini, and another Bluetooth speaker. No skipping or audio delays noticed. Usually playing Play Music, YouTube, or iHeartRadio.

It hasn't been as bad a you describe but I have noticed some stuttering. Not enough to ruin my experience, though.
I got phone on 10-21. I stream Pandora all day in my work truck to a jbl change 2+ and have my bt ear piece for calls connected all day. I have not had one issue
Mine did it the first time I ever used it in my car, and it was unbearable. After day one though, the issue self resolved and I had no problems. I actually noticed it first using navigation over bt

Yep. I got this several times. Turning off/on Bluetooth was the only way to fix. Not ideal when doing 70 on the motorway.

Same problem here, it makes bluetooth unbearable in my car. ONLY my car, as I don't have any stuttering on other bluetooth devices. Never had a problem on my Nexus 5, only the 5X.
Edit:
For clarity, I am full stock, not rooted or unlocked
I'm having the same issues. It seems the worst when I have Waze running while beyondpod is playing. I don't have guidance enabled, so Waze shouldn't be playing audio.
After streaming for a few days, I don't have this problem anymore. Weird, but I'm glad it's working now. Try what someone posted earlier, just turn off and turn on Bluetooth.

That didn't solve my issue. Rebooting the phone did, however. There must be a memory leak.
There is a issue opened on the Google code page. I'm not skilled enough with adb to capture the logcat. I am not allowed to post links so just add
p/android/issues/detail?id=193085
To the end of the google code url

I experienced some stuttering over bluetooth in my toyota camry. Will test it further.
I could not reproduce the stuttering issues again until today when I was streaming music it decided to stutter as I read an email. Rebooted phone and it was fine.
Up the thread.
I just bought bluetooth earphones, I thought they were defective, so I replace them, but i got always the same problem, the sound is stuttering. And after some seconds, it simply goes blank, no sound at all. :/
I tested them on other smartphones and tablet, and they are working great.
I also noticed that if i put the nexus 5x really closed to the earphones (1 cm), it's working nice.
I contact Google, but they kept saying i have to contact the earphones manufacturer (Aukey). But it's clearly a bug with the phone.
There is just one thing I didn't try yet. It's to wipe the phone and flash the last android image (i read somewhere some guys fixed their problem doing this, where ota updates didn't).
Anybody got information or solution?
Thanks
