Hello,
I've installed nAOSP ROM 5.1 on my Xperia S. The ROM is working fine except an really annoying issue with my bluetooth headset. The voice of the person I call is really heavy distorted and impossible to understand. Also my recorded voice is not understandable. It sounds like after inhaling helium. Pairing my headset worked fine and it doesn't loose connection. I already did some research and tried to disable NuPlayer but without any effect on my issue.
The used headset model is "plantronics explorer 50" and it was working fine with stock ROM and it still works fine with other phones.
Are there any known issues or fixes/workarounds for this problem? Or other things I can do to solve the problem?
Best regards,
wewa00
UPDATE: I connected my Win7 laptop as a music player to my Xperia S via Bluetooth. This works fine. Sound from e.g. a youtube video i play on my Xperia S is transferred clearly to the laptop's speakers.
Does this Bluetooth sound issue only affect a special set of Bluetooth devices?
Best regards,
wewa00
PS: I use an "Intel Wireless Bluetooth" driver with version "17.1.1407.474" on my laptop.
UPDATE: I was in a shop recently and tried several headphones of various brands. Each shows the same issue like mentioned in my initial post.
Does no one have any idea what could cause this Bluetooth issues?

For now it seems to be a ROM issue. You could try getting a logcat and posting it here. That might help the developer.

Thank you very much for your answer. I already thought that this might be a ROM issue. Others are also suffering under these issues (see following quotes).

Hi! I have two (2) bluetooth issues. I am using the latest version (b22).
1) bluetooth headset only receives static/noise, and its bluetooth control (e.g. volume, next/prev) doesn't work
2) bluetooth keeps disconnecting when trying to pair with my car's head unit
Are there others who have experienced this or have a suggested fix?
Thanks in advance!

I was already able to logcat via adb. But could you please tell me with which arguments I should call logcat to contain only necessary Bluetooth data and no confidential personal data?

Unfortunately, I don't know what arguments are to be used to target it specifically,but what You could do is start logcat just before switching on bluetooth and end it after You try a few songs via bluetooth headsets. Logcats rarely contain personal data which are unique to Your device except Your problems.
I've uploaded a logcat to gist: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7b8fc5a68feb5be3e1e9
I captured this logcat with Android Studio and this filter:
Code:
Log Tag (regex): BT|luetooth|bt|Bt
Log Level: Debug
I did following actions while logging:
Bluetooth on
headset connected
dialed a number
answered on 2nd phone
distorted sound on in headset and on 2nd phone
changed volume via headset buttons
quit call with headset button
started youtube video (no sound in headset)
turned headset off (phone did not notice that)
turned Bluetooth off and on again
tried to pair with laptop (didn work)
tried again, pairing worked, BUT: phone rebooted
tried several things, but could not play sound via Bluetooth on my laptop speakers
In another post I wrote that I could transmit sound to my laptop via Bluetooth. That was on another laptop, I'll try this again tomorrow.
I noticed an interesting line in the log.
Code:
E/bt_osi_config﹕ config_new unable to open file '/etc/bluetooth/ble_stack.conf': No such file or directory
. The file does not exist on my phone. And i found out that also other android users have this line in their logs. But none of them offered a solution.
Now I have two questions:
Can you get some info out of the log or do I need to modify my filter settings?
Could the missing ble_stack.conf file be the problem?
Best regards
wewa00
EDIT: @mickybart: I've some debug info about the Bluetooth issues. Maybe you could take a look at it.

Yup, I noticed the missing file in log of other users too. Probably the developer is working on it too.
This log seems to be enough, given that You have done most the the stuff needed and it has been logged.
Do tag mickybart in Your post though, so it will come to his attention too.

I now also tried to connect the laptop where I once successfully played sound from my Xperia S via Bluetooth. Today I had no luck. When the Windows Bluetooth application searches for services running on my Xperia S, it says that it couldn't find any services or maybe an error occurred. I also tried repairing, without success.

@Mirhawk: I think that unfortunately mickybart nor any other developer shows attention to these Bluetooth issues. Should I post to the developer thread, or what can I do to get their attention?

I don't think that will help much, but worth a shot, given that it is a development related issue.
Apologies, even I don't seem to understand as to what is causing the issue.
I've got the same problem with Plantronics M55, M75, M90, Jawbone Era (they're BT 2.1 or greater). But my old Plantronics ML12 (BT 2.0) works OK. As to the bt_stack.conf file, it seems to be a bt logger configuration file. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...official-cyanogenmod-12-4-4-4-t2951070/page52 . They had such bt file missing with Moto G and ripped it from stock fw. I can't check if it helps placing that file into our filesystem. But you can. ))
PS: I wrote mickybart a pm about our issues, but there's no reply...

Hi, I will redo some tests with an headset that I know it was working. I will check if this is not an introduced bug. If I have the issue that will help me but if I haven't it will not be easy to fix it without an headset. In fact doesn't have the hardware is the main problem to be able to solve this kind of bug but I will try.

My fault. )) But AFAIK BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy, that is not supported by LT26i in hardware, so it doesn't seem to be the source of problem.
My girlfriend's headset is still working (Motorola H730). I will try to have an headset with the issue reported.

Apr. 15 update:
Thanks for all feedbacks.
I have made sure all changes of Bluetooth code in the recent kernel releases are alright.
Please install the latest tytung_r9 kernel for Bluetooth compatibility testing.
And flash audio.conf_update.zip to see if changing Bluetooth settings in ROM will improve the stability or not.
End of testing below:
Hello Everyone:
We have changed something in Bluetooth related source code in recent kernel releases. (Thanks all devs.)
Each kernel has different changes, and I would like to collect the info about which kernels can support your Bluetooth devices (headsets, car kits, or any devices) or not.
These info may help me develop the next kernel.
These four kernels may have different behaviors when using with your Bluetooth devices.
Apr 03: tytung_r9_beta
Supported unique Bluetooth MAC address.
Supported Bluetooth auto-reconnect.
Supported two-way call recording.
Included my modified initrd.gz (modify init.htcleo.rc to support unique Bluetooth MAC address)
Mar 27: tytung_r8.3
Updated Bluetooth stack from AOSP.
Mar 25: tytung_r8.2
Fixed Bluetooth 60mA battery drain (i.e. support Low Power Mode) (Big thanks to Trilu and Charansingh)
Included my modified initrd.gz (add --enable_lpm to support Low Power Mode)
Mar 24: tytung_r8.1
It represents all previous kernels which have Bluetooth 60mA battery drain.
For me, they all work with my Bluetooth enabled PC. (Acer Aspire Z5710)
And I can also use another native Android phone to transfer files to/from HD2 via Bluetooth by using ES File Explorer.
If you would like to help test tytung_r9 kernel, please flash it and give me the report.
Remember to make a nandroid backup before testing, to restore back after testing or if anything goes wrong.
You can replace /boot/initrd.gz in zip file with logwrapper version in attach files to output the detail log to ddms/logcat.
Before every kernel testing, please delete Bluetooth devices in Bluetooth settings on your phone, and then rescan, repair, and connect to your BT devices again.
Kernels tytung_r9 include initrd.gz which is optimized for an AOSP ROM (i.e. NexusHD2-Gingerbread) and may be not compatible with other ROMs (e.g. CM7 or MIUI).
For example, if tytung_r9 causes any problem, please replace /boot/initrd.gz of kernel_tytung_r9_update.zip with your original ROM's initrd.gz and then flash it again.
Besides, make sure you have the following lines in init.htcleo.rc located in initrd.gz to support the unique Bluetooth MAC address fix in r9.
Code:
# bluetooth MAC address programming
chown bluetooth bluetooth /sys/module/[COLOR="Red"]board_htcleo[/COLOR]/parameters/[COLOR="red"]bdaddr[/COLOR]
setprop ro.bt.bdaddr_path /sys/module/[COLOR="red"]board_htcleo[/COLOR]/parameters/[COLOR="red"]bdaddr[/COLOR]
Report format:
ROM that you are using:
Kernel version:
Bluetooth Headset/Device (brand):
Stereo music (A2DP):
Remote control (play/pause/skip music) (AVRCP):
Phonebook access (vCard exchange) (PBAP):
Files transfers (OPP/OBEX):
Personal Area Networking Profile (PAN):
Make or answer a call (HSP):
Detail description:
You can reply here and/or post in Google Docs: TYTUNG Kernel's Compatible Bluetooth Headsets List to be more organized.
I hope your time and effort for testing and sharing the results to XDA will help others purchase their next Bluetooth headset/device.
Thanks

Even a native Android phone cannot also support all brand of Bluetooth devices.
So this's mainly a compatible Bluetooth Headsets List, and maybe it will help develop the kernel.
i have typhoon 2.9.3
your kernel r9 works ok with motorola h300 bt headset.it is not stereo headset but with supermonofroyo bt app i can hear music from the headset.
boba23 said:
Hey tytung,
gonna give your new kernel a try, since I am also having BT issues with my car handsfree unit. I can't pair it with any gingerbread rom yet. The Pairing/PIN dialog to enter the pin code just doesn't come up.
But I don't think it's a kernel issue for me since I tried imilkas 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 rom and with that I can pair my device perfectly fine.
Right now I am playing around with the bluez config files (auto_pairing.conf etc) to see if that fixes anything for me.
What is more with froyo roms I never had trouble with my car handsfree, worked perfectly fine.

Edit: back to your question, 8.3 BT is working with the following devices for me: Jabbra BT250 headset, FM9 BT TMC Receiver, Lenovo T60p Bluetooth - But NOT working, not pairing with my built in Parrot handsfree/headunit in a Peugeot 207cc.

Sense ROMs and AOSP ROMs use different Bluetooth stack, so that'll be the cause.
In other words, HTC uses a modified BT stack in their Sense ROMs.
ROM:Typhoon2.9.4
BT Headset:SE MW600
Kernel:r9
Everything works. Good call recording sound even via BT Headset although it is louder via Phone.
A2DP and AVRCP all work.
Reconnects perfectly
Tytung,
Thanks so much for working on this!
Just tried with hyperdroid v11 and it boots ok and Bluetooth appears to have a full mac address now.
But, it still doesn't work properly with wireless tether in Bluetooth PAN mode to my iPad or Macbook Pro in OSX or Windows 7.
Wireless tether still says error :SIOCSIFFLAGS (cannot assign requested address)
So for some reason it isn't assigning an IP to the ipad/laptop.
Could be a problem with the app itself but others reported it was the mac address causing the problem so I'm not sure.
I'm very grateful for your effort in looking at this though so thank you!
Tytung,
despite the heavy battery drain r8.1 was working very well with my parrot ck3400 carkit (carkit and gps mouse).
kernel r8.3 (among in Tyween Typhoon cLK versions) was giving a lot of problems to connect and reconnect when making a phone call or connecting the gps mouse trough bluetooth. I always have to flash your cLK_tytung_bt fix for a working bluetooth connection. i don't know what kernel this is.
Will test r9 beta on Tyween Typhone 2.9.4 and report back to you asap

What problems do you have with sense ???
What i have also found - The pairing issue is also influenced by the bt firmware.
You know, that is the bcm4329.hcd file in /system/etc/firmware
With the latest htc sense firmware i can pair with my bluetooth devices, but i cant get any audio transmission.
BCM4329B1_002.002.023.0511.0538.hcd
Currently i use the bcm4329.hcd file with 14.172 Bytes.
What i have also seen, that the newer files saves some power....
Hi tytung, I don't have a log file for you unfortunately. I have personally had no problem with my bluetooth headset with any of your recent changes. However, with tytung r9 I think this is related to the callrecording patch, as I don't see how anything changing in bluetooth would affect this. With v2.9.4 yesterday I was testing with tytung r9... At work I need to use airplane mode because I get no signal in the office, only when I go to the restroom I can get signal. Upon leaving airplane mode, in 2 out of 8 times yesterday of turning airplane mode off, I was unable to get a data connection upon getting a signal. Switching data on or off did not help, only a reboot did. This is why I have decided to keep tytung r8.3 as the kernel used in the latest version of my ROM. Maybe I can do some more testing and try to get some logs for you, but I rolled back to r8.3 for now. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for your work on what I think is the best kernel for our phones currently
Edit: It may have been because I overlooked the requirements in initrd.gz but I am unsure. I saw the lines but mine say board_bravo instead of board_htcleo, and I thought I had what was required as the lines were very similar. I will begin testing again tonight and let you know if I experience the same problem I had before.
Touchscreen Frozen
Something weird is happens with my hd2.
When i longpress the redbutton to shutdown or reboot i cant touch the options (shutdown, reboot, profiles etc).
The bizarre is that happens with all roms with your newst kernels
Maybe a kernel related?

Unfortunately I have the same problem for a few days, sometimes helped re-pressing the red button and after unlocking screen reacted normally. The problem is already present on all OS, and regardless of the kernel on Android builds. I suspect that is a hardware malfunction and my poor Leo soon will die. Actually i'm on CoreDroid 1.6 and i noticed that the problem doesen't appear as often as on tytung kernel.

Yea, that's what I figured as well. You think it's possible (if everything else fails for me) to port/use that modded stack to a CM7 rom?
If you look at the files (bluetoothd, libs and so on) it's definately still bluez based. Question is what does HTC modify and what other files are needed ...

Well, in my ROM, r9 kernel will write unique BT Mac address into /sys/module/board_htcleo/parameters/bdaddr file.
You can read its content.
Then ROM will get BT address from bdaddr when booting. (via /system/bin/brcm_patchram_plus)
If your ROM has different condition, please change board_htcleo to something else.

Thanks for the information. Has anyone else experienced what I did with tytung r9 in regards to no data connection upon turning off airplane mode? I am going to begin my testing again with tytung r9 beta today after I update the initrd.gz used in my build. I did not experience this with any previous tytung kernels, and think that the cause may be the call recording feature.. I am unsure and have not done any serious analysis on it, just wanted to let you know what I have experienced.

As mzebrowski13 said, I guess it's a hardware issue.
HI PEOPLE
SINCE I HAVE UPGRADED TO 2.2.2 I'M WITNESSING SERIOUS ISSUES , STARTING OF LAG AND THEN SLOW AND MEMORY AND ETC.
BUT THIS ONE IS DAMN CRAZY , THIS IS BLUETOOTH ISSUE.
AS ALMOST EVERY DEFY HOLDER KNOWS THAT U CAN NOT SEND SONGS AND MUSIC STUFF THROUGH BLUETOOTH , AND U NEED ADDITIONAL APP TO SEND THE FILES.
THE APP IS BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER WAS WORKING GOOD BUT NOW SUDDENLY IT STOPS SENDING AND SAYS TRANSFER COMPLETED WITHOUT ANY PROCESS OF IT.
ANY SUGGESTION WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED!!!
yes it happenned and now fixed with ES FILE EXPLORER app. and it supports unraring the files too.
this app sending audio files as audio/*.
and it's not making ports for bluetooth. so far succsseful.
it has root options for superiours.
so if u like it just download it from the market.
what happened xda no one has solution for this matter?
everyone checking and no one answering.!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
I just have two suggestions for you:
1. NEVER WRITE ALL CAPS! It's like constantly yelling at someone.
2. Never expect an answer. This is a community of volunteers that help you if they can, not of people that should help you!
Have you wiped your phone? They sometimes say that you should wipe your phone after an update. Give it a try, try to get the phone to a state as fresh as possible.
Cheers!
thanks man ,
i'm on it.

This is not the only BT problem, BT headsets do not work properly either!
I have tested ALL possible ROM's and none work! I now have the famous CyanogenMod 7, latest nightly build and no luck.
BT headsets only work as half-duplex !! Can you fuc'en imagine! WTF?! The other person can not hear your voice, while he speaks or some other backround noise comes from he's end.
I have Jabra Wave, which is awesome and it works with all other phones, Nokia that is. I have read on some forum that this is Motorola policy to prevent use of other than motorola headsets, WTF!!
I'm guessing this problem comes from the BT chip firmware that flashing andoid can not reach or change.
We seriously need a bluetooth firmware patch / hack to DEFY, and other motos as well!
I'm willing to donate some money to who ever can fix this!
[edit]Iqua Smart Badge Bluetooth Headset does not work neither, it keeps beeping 5 sec intervals![edit]
Um.. I have a Nokia stereo headset, works full duplex and plays music in stereo. I've had other issues but now fixed.
I have BT problems with my Audi carkit. Could this be related to the problems you're experiencing?
Sometimes I have disconnects when a phonecall is in progress, sometimes I get an error on my car screen saying that the phone is not supporting some function, but when I try again, it works...
Any ideas?
I contacted Audi, and they are "suggesting" to buy another phone

Sometimes i have the same problem but we re install bluetooth file transfer and i am ok
Guys thanks for sharing the problems of this issue but so far i can not even send an image or a video through share which is built in the OS.
and regarding the Bluetooth file transfer app it's making it 30 ports for no reason.
and here i am, it's stopped sending the whole files even now i'm trying to wipe the data and reset and it might helps.
Hi All,
tried searching the threads on ICS upgrade with bluetooth and Blue&Me but unfortunately couldn't find much so thought of writing.
I have upgraded to the official sony ICS ROM via PC Companion on my Arc (LT15i).... done a repair... and set it up exactly the way i want to. must say that i loved it and am quite happy with the performance of the phone as well... there's the occasional lag but it isn't too bad as yet.
Now to my problem (and a few other queries)
1) Bluetooth: Has anybody had any success in pairing the bluetooth with another bluetooth device... preferably a car bluetooth system? I had it working perfectly on the GB (.62) ROM and could use the phone via my Fiat Linea's Blue&Me feature. Now i just can'[t pair it.... when i search for devices it does show Blue&Me but when i try to pair it all i get is that wait cursor kinda thing and then back to search devices screen. it just doesn't pair and give me the option to enter the passcode generated by Blue&Me.
2) Has anyone faced any issues in editing contacts which are synched to Google? Thankfully the HD Pics now work as google sync is not resizing them but in some contacts when i try to edit it the screen simply scrolls back to the top. these are linked contacts (Gmail... Facebook... Facebook inside Xperia.... Whatsapp).
thank you very much in advance for any help that the gurus on this forum can give. I'd especially like to get the bluetooth working as i can live with the contacts editing issue!
thanks, Maverick

Same problem to me(alfa romeo mito with blue&me).
I 've tried everithing, but there is no solution, i think is a compatibility problem:i hope fiat(microsoft) make an update for his system..

I had a few issues connecting to my Ford when I was on 4.0.3.
It seems to work ok for me when I initiate the pairing from my car stereo. Then my phone will display the "bluetooth device wants to connect" and allow me to enter the code.
i have exactly the same problem
after updating to ICS on my xperia mini pro i cannot pair to fiat blue and me :-(
anyone has ideia on what can we do?
do u think its ICS or microsoft blue and me problem?

Did you try to clear the old pairing from the stereo? I had to reset the bt on mine. Before the phone would see it ..

Hello
the phone "sees" the blue and me and try do pairs...but no popup asking for the pin appears...i wonder if there is any way to force the phone to ask the pin given my blue and me:-(
I think the problem is with Blue&Me... I've a Parrot and a Chinese GPS integrated in the other Car, and no problem with both of them.
Try to remove the asociation from the Car and then try to pair again. Maybe the Blue&Me assumes the device is the same and the protocol may be different.
In case it doesn't work this way, maybe you need an update from Fiat.

Thanks, i will try this tomorrow and update with my results.
getting something from Fiat is probably never going to happen.... they can't get those teeny weenie yet important spare parts for the car available when you need them most so i doubt they are going to do a B&M upgrade [Country: India]
I had issues at first with my ford but it seems if I initiate pairing from my car stereo, it works fine
Same issue on Subaru forster
have the same issue on Subaru after updating to ICE, the Xperia ARC identify the car media, but it fails (and no pin enter screen)
This is not happening in GB so I guess it is an ICE issue.
Anyone have news on it? or maybe some ROM do support BT?
duplicate post
same problem on mercedes and LT18i (xperia ray) It won't ask the pin. Sometimes I see it connected for less than a second.
I don't have the possibility to connect from car radio, it has te be connected via the phone.
Time to get a laptop to the car and chech with adb logcat

found this whist searching online.
The Workaround:
1) Turn on bluetooth on your smartphone and open a contact card.
2) Start the pairing of hands-free of the car.
3) When the blue & me asks for the code, send the contact via Bluetooth: The phone searches for other devices. Selecting "Blue & Me", you have the opportunity to enter the code presented on the dashboard.
4) Now Blue & Me will ask you to copy the address book: Select "Yes".
5) In the notification bar of smartphone is prompted to connect bluetooth: select "do not ask for more" and accept the request.

So i deiced to get the 10" Joying rx3188 unit with android 5.1.1 that recently came on the market. So far I rooted it and got it set mostly how i want, but I discovered an issue with bluetooth. Basic phone pairing and functionality works properly and ive also paired my OBD2link MX unit with it as well for the torque app, which works fine as well. the issue i'm having is that other apps that would use bluetooth, think that bluetooth is disabled on the unit. when i try to have them use bluetooth, they ask if they can turn bluetooth on. Selecting yes hangs the app and i have to force end the app to stop it. Even if i go in to torque, it reads bluetooth as disabled even tough the app itself works fine otherwise.
It seems as if the OS is not properly flagging to apps that bluetooth is turned on as far as i can tell. Is there a workaround for this, or something i can do to signal to apps installed that bluetooth is indeed enabled on the HU?

Sorry i don't understand, Torque is working for you or not?
But, what's the "bluetooth name" of your device? Because to work properly i think it must be "OBD" or "OBD2", otherwise you have to search an Xposed module that can help you.
I'm having the exact same problem with the same unit also on Lollipop. I've notified the developer in the Forum post below and he is looking into it. This now makes a total of 3 people with the same problem.

what apps are you having problems with?
also, what car did you put it in? How does it look? 10 inch screen sounds awesome
I'm having two problems right now. The first is that I am unable to pair my Logitech k810 keyboard, and I am unable to connect to a Bluetooth dongle that is used by my radar detector / laser Jammer with an application called Alp connect. I've found quite a few bugs with this head unit and I'm reporting them all to the developer. It works okay my main concern is that it is quite sluggish and I think that is due to the one gigabyte of RAM and lollipop. I installed it in a 2011 Subaru Impreza

I'm fully on board with the concept "your money your car, do what you want" but what do you use a keyboard for in the car?
Quite often I'm too lazy to unpack my laptop when I have to compose a lengthy email on the go so I prefer to do it with a keyboard rather than try to use the touch screen to bash out a couple paragraphs.

Torque is working, but if you go to adapter status in torque i shows BT not enabled. And thats the issue, the BT status is off when apps check it. For torque, it does not try to turn on BT to function. other apps do, and when they do, they hang.
I need to somehow flag BT as on for other apps so they dont say they need to turn on BT to work.

apps like tablet talk, or obdlink or solostorm. all think BT is off, and try to turn it on when you want to use the BT obd2 adapter.
its in a Mazda MX-5.

If your objective is to solve the problem get a usb keyboard. They work. If your objective is to get bluetooth keyboards working you might have to wait a long time.
Well, I hope you are wrong as my previous NewsMy NU3001 head unit worked perfectly with it. I'm aware I can use a USB keyboard. In any case I'm happy the developer is willing to try and fix it. What is your source for claiming it will be a long time for it to be fixed?
Also to add to this, im also unable to pair my qstarx 10hz BT gps unit.
It may be helpful to post your Bluetooth concerns in the same thread as mine on the Joying Forum I linked to above so that the developer is aware it's not just me and may encourage him to work on this more quickly.
Just popped my head in over there. I was hoping that peeps here would know of a trick or flag for the OS to make all apps think BT is on. then they could get past the check and just access BT, kinda like what the torque app does.
Yeah if someone finds a way to do that I'd be interested to know how as well. Slightly off-topic did you try installing a custom recovery or the Xposed framework on this unit? I have tried and failed many different types of attempts to do it on this unit.

My source? Joying didn't write the software.
And what relevance does that have to the speed at which the issue can be resolved? It seems that you are just being defeating for no purpose. The developer is willing to help and he has expressed that desire in many Communications I've had with him so far. I prefer to be optimistic and that he has the right people to contact to resolve the issue

no. i just have it rooted so far with supersu installed. what feature in xposed could be used to help here?
None that I can think of I was just curious if you had been able to install Xposed. I am curious as to how you were able to install SuperSU, as I was only able to install King root.

So, Bluetooth works well with all alter devices but does not recognise my car Bluetooth. I have not had any issues so far testing from all possible android phones to Nokia and iPhone. I have a 2010 C class. Any suggestions? The car says that no devices has been found when trying to pair. Thanks
Same exact problem here with an Audi A1. I contacted support, but they only suggested things I had already tried (like factory reset etc). I'm going to try and get a log to them at some point this week.
Are you on the latest OTA? That's when the problems started happening for me - it was working fine before that.

Yes, latest update. Unfortunately support gave me "support" I have already tried and if you have a bit of knowledge of android you do not need some to tell you those things. We just have to wait until next update. Thanks
Have you tried turning off HD audio in the device settings?
When the device is connected, go to Bluetooth and select the cog next to the device. Uncheck HD audio.
This worked for me with my JVC Bluetooth car stereo.
