I'm looking to upgrade my Droid Charge to a Galaxy Nexus, and the primary reason I want to do so is to get rid of one annoying problem from my Charge: skipping audio playback over bluetooth, when connected to my car stereo. (I'm reasonably sure it's not the head unit that's the problem, since my girlfriend's iPhone streams just fine, without stutters.) This only happens when streaming music, not when receiving calls over bluetooth.
Does anyone have a GNex and use it with a bluetooth connection to their car stereo? Any stuttering problems?
Bump!
Hey I use my Nexus in the car to stream music via BT, no stutters here!
Good to hear, thanks man!
Sure, no problem. Hope you enjoy it. I would recommend an app like Volume+ or a music app with built in equalizer like PowerAmp or similar.

Not sure about that, i think those apps just adds more distortion to the sound then its worth. If its for playing music with a car stereo, you dont need to boost the audio output.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
While playing music on my un-rooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII, every time I unlock my phone the music switches from the headphones I have plugged in to the phone's speaker. When I un-plug and re-plug he headphones or pause and play the music, it switches back into the headphones. This issue is very debilitating as I am often listening to music in quiet places and it's embarrassing when my music starts blaring. Thanks for your help.

I have the opposite problem. When I listen to music on my headphones the music switches to the speakers when the phone locks. I guess you never figured this out. I know my problem is due to the lockscreen app "Widget Locker". When I deactivate it the problem goes away. Guess I'll head over to the widget locker thread and poke around. I'm on an S3 as well.
Edit:
I found a cool workaround by using the Tasker app. I made a profile which disables Widget Locker when i plug my headphones in and enables it when i unplug them. Seems to work pretty flawlessly.
Do you have gapless playback??

I'm having issues with distortion/cracking/popping with my One in the car. When I'm streaming audio through Google Music or Pandora, there is noticeable distortion whether Beats is on or off.
I previously had an S3 and that worked fine. This morning I paired my work iPhone to the car and was able to play from the on device music without any distortion. Next up I'm going to try an aux cable to see if it's a Bluetooth or phone issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience.
I noticed major hissing with the beats EQ on. Turned it off and I don't hear it anymore.

I've got a 2013 Sonata with the Dimension navigation radio.
I suspect something related to Beats but I'll have to play around with it while not going along at 75mph.

Hmm, interesting. I'm assuming you're on the stock ROM?
Also, you said you still get the distortion even with Beats disabled, so do you think it's still Beats related?

Stock, with a bunch of stuff frozen. I'm a noob to modern HTC, so besides turning off Beats in Settings, are there other ways to tweak it?

Using Google Play Music in a 2013 Camaro and I've got no audio issues.
I just purchased the phone, but slacker worker flawlessly. Have not had a chance to try Pandora or other music apps yet.
Rush hour traffic this morning allowed me to do some additional testing. I found that Play Music is distorted with/without Beats and also regardless of how loud I have the Bluetooth output volume set. I don't have any full songs on the phone, so I opened the generic Music app and played back some of my ringtones. None of them were distorted coming over the radio, so I'm further puzzled about why Play Music would have such an issue.
I'm going to try Pandora on the way home to see if that is affected as well.
Another update: Pandora works great. Play Music is toying with me...

I'm curious to see what your testing shows. I need to get a new stereo for the car and would like to do the bluetooth thing.

I just flashed a debloated ROM, so I'm going to try Play Music again with it being a non-system app.
I'm partial to Amazon for my music, curious to see how it works.

i just had that same issue, but with the native player
just got the phone less then 24 hour's and i had it crackle when i had it playing in my civc! it didn't do that yesterday, but today i noticed when i played deadmau5. maybe i had to turn it down one or two notches. maybe volume has something to do with it!

I've tried it as low as 50% on the volume bar. I'm thinking that the interference has to be with Play Music, Beats, and my car's amp. Or some combination of the two since my S3 did not have the issue, and my work iPhone plays just fine.

It's a [decent] stock system, so I'll have to check around for that info.
So now that I finally managed to phrase it correctly, there are a lot of other people reporting the same issue, and it appears to affect Sense ROMs due to the factory settings for the Bluetooth stack. AOSP does not seem to be affected.

I just got my HTC One from Verizon yesterday and noticed a horrible sound quality when streaming music through Bluetooth. I'm streaming to LG CM4530 stereo system. The distortion is just unbearable during high pitches. The problem persists regardless the volume in both the phone and stereo, the app used (tried Pandora and Play Music), turning Beats Audio off or even cancelling the EQ on the stereo system. I'm convinced that it's not the app because I just replaced my old and slow Droid 2 Global loaded with 2.3.4 Gingerbread and never had any problems with A2DP sound distortion. (Yes, ironic.)
Many point that the problem is on the stock HTC ROM, but I haven't hear of any fix so far. Any suggestion?
Sorry to revive an old thread, but have other users with the sound-over-bluetooth distortion issue found any way of solving it other than flashing an AOSP ROM?
While listening to music on the play music app, watching on youtube, and doing other stuff on the tablet that generate sounds, I noticed a sudden pause/lag during screen rotation. Does anyone experience this?
Note: I am on JSS15Q
Thanks.
This does not occur when listening through headphones, but only out loud.

Yep, getting the same. It's just a momentary pause, but it's annoying - pretty sure the N7 is just about powerful enough to play music and rotate the screen....
Not sure if it's a ROM or a kernel issue. I rooted and flashed within an hour of opening the box, so don't know if it was present on stock as well.
I have a theory. When listening in portrait, the two speakers at the bottom are playing in stereo. When you flip to landscape the speakers at the bottom become the right side audio, and the speaker near the top becomes the left side audio. So it takes a moment for the tablet to adjust the output.

When i use a 3.5 mm jack headphones and press play in the music player the audio volume automatically jumps up to high which is a really annoying problem.
I thought that the cause of this problem is the music player itself so i tried google player and had the same problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
