Different bluetooth stack?

Hi everyone,
The bluetooth on my GSIII has been a complete failure. You can follow the saga here (http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w245-b-class/1662643-2009-w245-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.html), but basically it connects to my car and has no sound with the stock ROM and refuses to connect to the car at all with the AOKP JB build. It suggests an android problem, so I'm wondering if the bluetooth stack can be reloaded to reflashed with something different. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thank you!

I have a problem with one of my Bluetooth devices dropping and reconnecting. Not sure why is just one. It works fine on an iPhone. I'm guessing your GS3 isn't the international version?

Sweet! please let us know!
I'm having a different issue. it connects and stays connected, plays music but it doesn't list the song/artist info on my eclipse screen but the SG2 will..

Update: no change with the new kernel. The phones pairs but there's no sound, just as was the case before.

Try CM9. Bluetooth works much better with it. CM10 should have it fixed as well in a day or two.

Here's a 'six months later' update. My phone went through various android updates and I'm now on Android 4.1.1 (up from 4.0.4). The problem was still not solved, but instead of no audio, I now have one way audio, where people hear me but I don't hear them through bluetooth. I have also gone through a number of custom ROMs and kernels for my phone (including CM9/10 and AOKP) and nothing helped with the issue.
A couple of days ago, my girlfriend's HTC One X (finally!) got its Android update, also from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Her phone now works like a charm with the in-car bluetooth.
The solution I ended up with was a car cradle and a couple of NFC tags to control my phone in the car. My NFC tag that's stuck to my car cradle turns off WiFi, starts car mode, starts a car home app and turns my volume to max. All I have to do after that is connect the 3.5mm audio cable and I use my phone in place of the car's infotainment system. That way the phone integrates into the car as well and the only thing I lose are the steering wheel controls (they still work for volume).
My less technologically inclined girlfriend now has everything work auto-magicallly with bluetooth. So I guess all's well that ends well, but to anyone considering a US-spec Galaxy S III, watch out: the bluetooth issue is still not fixed. If bluetooth is critical, consider the HTC One X (but be warned: it has awful battery life!)

I have no issues with stereo Bluetooth and mono Bluetooth. Everything and everyone hears and plays fine. It might be an issue with your headset.

Colby. What version of android, kernel / rom combo are you using?? There's SOOO many people having problems with JB and bluetooth, regardless of rom or kernel setup.
If you're on stock... just nm then.

What's wrong with stock? I have no major issues with streaming BT from my phone to my Mazda 3 head unit, or to my Sony MW600 earphones. Even track titles work (the only thing that doesn't work is time display). In my experience, Bluetooth works best on the stock ROM.
Stock Rogers ROM (DLK4 - JB 4.1.1), rooted
KT747 (1/9/2013) kernel
CWM Recovery 6.0.2.3
PlayerPro Music Player
On my old Xperia X10, I had CM7 and had no end of issues with BT:
- Sometimes it would connect and there would be no sound
- Sometimes it wouldn't connect at all
- Sometimes it would cut out after switching songs
- It would stutter a lot whenever Wi-Fi was enabled (but I think that was a problem with the Xperia).
When I tried CM10.0 on my S3 I had similar connection issues, just not as bad. Also, the volume gain over BT was much lower, so I had to turn the car speakers way up. Stock 4.1.1 doesn't have any of these problems. The only problem I had was the audio switching over to speaker after turning off the car, but I fixed it.
Also, BT is apparently broken in 4.2.1 in general, not just CM10.1. Google confirmed a BT patch that works on the Nexus 7, due for release with 4.2.2: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smar...confirms-android-4-2-bluetooth-streaming-flaw
TIP: Don't forget to turn up the volume on your phone. I don't know how many times I accidentally turned down the volume and thought that it wasn't working. Now I have Tasker do it for me whenever I connect. :good:

4.1.2 has Bluetooth working use it everyday. (Stock and ROM.) Can't tell u which combo I use at a time. I flash a different ROM everyday. As 4.2.1bluetooth is broken expect for task's AOKP. He has it workingish.
Now as connecting to a car. Depends on what it connects as. And I've learned going to and from ROMs when u connect a source hit the volume up 9/10 times it works

[Q] [Xperia S] CM10 earphone problem

Hello.
I just updated my Xperia S from CM9 to CM10, and it's great!
But I have this one problem which ruins the whole experience for me. Whenever I plug in my headphones (I use the new Apple Earpods) the sound still goes through the speaker. The only way to get the sound through the earphones is holding the play button when I plug it in, but then the music pauses after 1 second, and when I press play it just goes through the speaker again.
I tried using the 'audio_policy.conf' from the CM10 thread, and I set the permissions correctly, but it didn't work. Is there any way to fix this? Because now I can't listen to my music.
Thanks

agree

Yes, same problem here, fix pls

I have a set of buds with an inline Mic and buttons. To get them to work I have to hold one of the buttons while plugging in. As I don't use these for phone calls I don't know what function the button controls. Labels are gone.

Hello, ive got an XperiaS myself and ive gone from the latest AOKP to the latest P.A.C ROM and i have the same problem... when i was using stock and MIUI the headphone jack worked perfectly, so i know it's not the hardware

I noticed this too, I think it's because Apple earphones need proprietary Sony drivers to work and FXP can't use these as they're proprietary.

I was just thinking, is it possible to copy the lib (or whatever file) that makes the headphones work on stock to CM9? I know it won't work with CM10, but it should work with 9. I want to try, but I have no idea which file I should use.

Neither do I lol. Try doing some research into the audio libs for ICS? Good luck

Can anybody check if the problem persists while using the Default sony Earplugs which came out of the box with L26i Xperia S?
I am rounding up facts and what all to expect when I flash my phone

I think they should work, but I can't test it since they stopped working after 2 days

I have my Apple earpods working on CM10 All you have to do is download 'SoundAbout' from the Play Store. Open the app and change the 'Media audio...' option to 'Wired Headphones'. The only downside is that you have to change this option everytime you want to use the speaker, but at least the headphones are working

I have the problem too. When I plug in my headphone, the sound is still coming from the speaker T_T
Does anyone have the solution for this?
By the way, when using SoundAbout, what happen to the notification sound? Do they still come to the speaker?

All the sounds come from the earphones, even when you plug them out. But the app has a widget which you can press to change it back to the speakers

Yes, many people have with 4.2.2 as you would have discovered using search.
No, there is no resolution at present.

Anyone found a fix? My current solution is to leave bluetooth on all the time. It connects ok when its not car mode turning it on but it's obviously not an ideal fix.

Sense 5 A2DP
I have just bought a USB a2dp dongle for my car which connects via the AUX In. Music from my HOX plays superbly and when my phone rings this also comes through the car speakers. However it appears that the microphone on the phone does not function (as it does when hardwired to the AUX In). Does anybody know if it it possible to configure the HOX to use the normal microphone when paired with the A2DP dongle.
I am using Viper X 4.0.5 and AlexV 2.7 btw
many thanks

[Q] Line Out Audio with Universal Samsung Dock

Hello, i have a question for you!
I bought the Samsung Galaxy Universal Multimedia Dock (www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D200BEGSTA)
which is designed to work with most of the Galaxy family, including our Gnex. Now, everything works well but when you try to connect a 3.5mm Jack to the Line Out, speakers won't reproduce music. I mean, the gnex's speaker keeps working, while it should switch to the external output.
I've read somewhere that the feature that adds Music Stream via USB (which should be named DAC or something like this) has been added since Jelly Bean. But on my stock 4.3 Gnex it is still not working.
Now my question is: is there a ROM or a Kernel that makes our Gnex able to reproduce audio with the Line Out while on dock?
(also, when you go to settings->sound->dock, audio is grayed out and can't access.)

is it included in the rom or it's a part of his kernel?

Micro USB to headphone port

Hello,
So my headphone jack on my phone broke, when I put my headphones in it doesnt recognize them. I bought a micro usb to headphone port for my phone but it doesnt work. My question is if these cables never work or do you need an app or something for it to work?
Thanks in advance!

In 'Developer Options' there are settings for routing Audio via USB, I cannot remember what settings are there but take a look if anything can be turned on or off to enable Audio over USB. I know these phones support it as well as the HG1 Hi-Res Speakers by Sony, but how it works, I do not know.

Yes i found that already and its turned on, I have also tried soundabout, you can choose where the audio goes, but that also didnt work. I hope there is someone who does know it.

Have you tried the detect usb devices option in the drop down notifications? There's also a settings page for it.

Yes I found it, but it doesnt detect anything. Also when I go to developer options and I select audio source at Select usb configuration it doesnt work. I've also tried soundabout but that doesnt work either..

Try download SoundAbout from play, and use the audio jack..

My phone doesnt recognize anything in the audiojack and also not with soundabout. But how can I play music through that cable?

Sorry i didn't see they already recommended soundabout?
Anyway, pay attention that the developer options should be OFF

Okay, so with soundabout I couldn't get it to work through the micro usb with developer options off, so I thought trying the headphone jack and it worked with soundabout!
I dont know how this happened, but everyone thanks for helping!!!
