^^ yes I have noticed this orientation issue as well, perhaps this is causing the problem. I haven't tested it out yet but I have auto rotation selected so I will try turning it off to see what happens.. will post results.

Edit:

Yes I did see some improvement with the auto orientation turned off. It really seems that this combination of phone and S9 HD is really susceptible to outside interference and multi-tasking issues. I notice that once I am on the bus, I get a little better reception and less breakup/hiccups, but when I am on the street I get more intermittent results. I think all of the little tips here have helped a little... ie: turning off phone BT and only leaving media connected..... turning off orientation and also as little multi-tasking as possible.

I am using Cyanogens 3.9.2 which has an option in the extended settings on the new modded Launcher to turn off auto orientation.

I believe we should change the name of the title of this thread; it's quite misleading. In fact there seems to be no real solution to our problem yet and I believe more attention and focus should be put on what seems to be the largest single problem the android is facing at the moment. No other software component of android seems to fail as often as A2DP at the moment.

Ok So another addition to this, I updated my sound files with Meltus's v2 with v5.3 update... and I swear it seems like I am getting less stuttering.
[G1 Android Development] cthuga:
Thank you for posting this. I have been looking for a way to boost my a2dp signal for some time. I had resorted to buying a shoulder strap case in order to keep the signal close to the back of my head (moto S9-HD). That worked OK, but after turning off the BT phone signal I can now walk with my G1 in my pants pocket and listen to music (Streamfurious, Listen and/or Pandora) without nearly any hiccups. This dramatically improved my experience with a2dp. Thanks much.

ciao!

Motorola Cliq and Sony DR-BT100CX

Motorola Cliq running Android 1.5 with Sony DR-BT100CX earbuds

I would like to mention I was having intermittent audio drops (every 5-20 seconds lasting for 1 second) while playing music through my new bluetooth earbuds, and finally after turning off the phone profile in bluetooth settings the cut outs stopped.

I knew the music stream was fine from using regular wired earbuds, and I tried disabling wifi/3g/2g, repositioning (even had the BT receiver and phone on top of each other), killing almost all background apps, and nothing helped except disabling the phone profile.

If it helps anyone diagnose further, I noticed using Pandora (streaming over 3G) the dropouts happened quickly, almost every 5 seconds. Using the built-in music player with mp3s on the SD card the dropouts only happened every 20 seconds or so. Same length (about 1sec) for the audio drop itself.
[G1 Android Development] azprogrammer:
First off, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. At least I now know that I am not going crazy!

My two cents worth...I am using a Jabra SP700 Speakerphone with built-in FM transmitter in my car, connected via BT to my Sprint Hero. I listen to both Pandora and music on my SD card to and from work, and have to keep the phone/headset function available for hands-free phone calls.

I was experiencing the skips, unitl I realized that my Wifi radio was on. Once I turned that off, no more skips, except for when I receive an email or text message.

The biggest annoyance is the tempo bending. As each song starts, from either Pandora or SD card, the tempo speeds up, and takes about 30 seconds to level out to the correct tempo. Very annoying to a music lover as myself.

I was hoping the Android 2.1 would have this fixed, but it sounds like it's not going to happen. There should be some CDMA 2.1 roms out soon, so I will let you know.

Eris Leaked 2.1 ROM a2dp also fixed by this.

Disabling the hfp also fixes the bluetooth skipping problem in android 2.1 leaked to a a2dp profile stereo headset.

I'm only posting this for the benefit of anyone who's been searching for a fix for the skipping dropout problems with their Eris 2.1.

I have seen so many people with this problem on the leaked and on the rooted ROM.

I can't think any other keywords to drop in here. ;)

myTouch 3g and Samsung WEP870 here.

Had constant 1 second "blips" of sound before I turned off phone/call sound. After I turned it of my bluetooth wouldnt even turn on until I rebooted my phone, which I found very odd.

Seems like theres just something wrong with hfp. Interfering is one thing, but completely borking BT after its changed is a new beast IMO. Can anyone else confirm that this happens with them too?

I would really like to make calls and listen to music on my headset if I could. I'd rather just have music of the two, so I guess thats ok for now.

It is quite surprising these days where music and cell phones nearly present in everything, that an application/driver for an open source OS cant handle both of them at the same time. Kinda disappointing. :\
[G1 Android Development] Rick7C2:
I'm having the same problem. I have an att nexus one rooted with cm 5.0.6 disabling phone profile does not work for me.
[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:
Both my wife and I have G1's running Cyan's latest stable. Since flashing a rooted rom last year, I have never been able to listen to A2DP in my car without first disabling the hfp. If I did not disable hfp the audio would be choppy.

My wife just started using A2DP in the car last week and her phone can do both hfp and A2DP at the same time. She has some intermittent audio drops initially but it works!

So yesterday I wanted to show her what my phone does so that if her phone starts doing the same she would know what to do. Guess what... my phone worked fine with both profiles.

We went out, and on the way home my phone reverted to its old behavior. I guess the point of all this is that it seems the two profiles can and will occasionally work fine together, but I wish we knew exactly what causes it.
[G1 Android Development] trinode:
I'm guessing you just paired.... Mine works great on initial pairing... then skipped on subsequent connections, even after restarting phone / headunit etc. (sounds like you paired, set off, came back and it started skipping, on the second connection... exactly like mine)

[G1 Android Development] mr.incredible:
Since I went to CM's 5.0.7-DS I haven't had any problems. I was getting an occasional drop out and the pitch would change both up and down. Now it's near perfect. I'd say about 95%. I only get minor pitch changes when the CPU is really busy. I don't think that anything has changed with the BT drivers. The kernal is just much more efficient. One thing that helps tremendously is swap. I've got 96mb swap with 30 swappiness. 96mb is overkill for the new ROM. 32mb or 48mb would probably be better. I tried CM's recommended setup of no swap and Compcache on. That didn't work too well for A2DP, bad pitch changes.

Just for the record I'm using the Jabra BT3030. It's a dog tag like unit with regular headphones or earbuds. Works great and is very clear.
[G1 Android Development] trinode:
Only thing is I've got a 1GHz snapdragon processor and still suffer from it, cut outs, not pitch changes, there's gotta be something in the bluetooth implementation that's not quite right. It's strange how it's always 100% silky smooth on a *stock* froyo (no CM tweaks applied) on the first phone initiated (pairing) connection, after pairing though all connections are initiated by the headunit (upon turning on the ignition) so I'm going to try and get the phone to connect manually before the headunit tries, and if it's smooth then I'm sure it's to do with the connection negotiation, or something similar.

my fix for insigna stereo head set

I used to have this happen all the time found out it was linked to my wifi... it seemed that when ever it tries to scan for a new network it skips it might be due to new available network notifications i know by default android is supposed to sound a notification when it finds one... that might be interrupting it... anyway turning of wifi out of my home and making sure it is connect in home before i turn on the bluetooth solved the problem for me... hope it helps
[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:
Hey Trinode, I just read your other thread and i was wondering what headunit you are using? I am using a Kenwood DNX7120 which uses a parrot bay manufactured bluetooth (I think). I wish I could narrow this down, but unfortunately my other car with a factory nav/bluetooth does not support a2dp.
[G1 Android Development] RazzTick:
Hi, I hope this isn't a dead topic but I wanted to post my findings after experiencing the similar problems.

I have a rooted G1 with Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 with a Samsung WEP870. I paired it up per instructions but thought it a little strange that it did not ask for a pairing code. I read it might not do this so I paid no mind to it. When I first tried to listen to music I got short 1 second blips of sound. I fixed this by disabling/enabling BT and then it worked fine. When I turned on the headset the next day it was the same problem as before. I noticed that if nothing played over the headset for more than a few mins I would get the skipping problem again until I turned off/on the headset, rebooted the phone or disabled/enabled BT. Same thing happened with GPS Navigation. I could hear the initial instructions if they were fairly close to another but if more than a few minutes went by then the audio sounded choppy.

After reading the post here along with the suggestion to unpair and pair the headset again I did just that. Strangely when I selected Disconnect and Unpair the phone asked for the pairing code at that moment. Prior to this the headset options read:

Connected to phone audio

Connected to media audio

After entering the pairing code now it reads:

Use for phone audio

Connected to media audio.

It works fine so far. I have tested the media audio at random intervals and it plays fine and I can still use the headset for phone calls. The only drawback is that I have to perform the same Disconnect and Unpair and enter the pairing code each time I turn on the headset. I have only tested this in my apt. so over the next couple of days I will see how it behaves on the road and post my findings.

If you need me to post more details please let me know since I would like a more permanent solution as well.
[G1 Android Development] RazzTick:
Here's what I have so far:

Like I posted above if I select Disconnect and Unpair the G1 prompts me to enter the pairing code and then displays

Use for Phone audio

Connected to Media Audio

Media audio works flawlessly. However, if I make or receive a call then the settings change back to

Connected to Phone Audio

Connected to Media Audio

At this point I start experiencing the skipping sound with the media audio which I can fix by turning the WEP870 off/on but it still happens again until I Disconnect and Unpair again. This is fine if I am in any other setting except driving since if I need to use the Navigator and get or make a call it's not ideal to try to fix it in that scenario. For now it is not a big deal for me so the workaround is fine but I hope they can fix it cause it doesn't seem like another headset will fix the problem.

[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:
I dont know if this will answer your question or help your situation, but the skipping problem occurs when the phones bluetooth is used for both media audio and phone audio at the same time.

If you use the bluetooth for only media, you will not have any audio issues but you will not be able to use the headset for phone audio.

I also tried to trick the system by pairing media audio to my car headunit, and using a BT headset for phone audio but I experienced the same issue.

One thing I can't remember though is if this problem exists with OEM Roms or Cooked Roms only. It's been so long since I used an OEM Rom that I don't remember how it worked before. If it is isolated to Cooked Roms, I am holding out hope that a Dev will fix this issue..
[G1 Android Development] :
I'm going to go ahead and say, don't get your hopes up. The chances of this being isolated to just cooked ROMs are slim-to-none.
[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:
Now I am confused.. maybe it's not the G1!

So my wife bought me the new Jawbone Icon BT earpiece for my birthday, and it is capable of A2DP. I loaded the updated firmware, paired it to my phone, and I have A2DP media and phone audio working flawlessly. I have been listening to music through the ear pierce for the last two hours with not a single hiccup! I even made a phone call to stop the music, and after the call I went back to the music without a hitch. Hmmm....

Well after searching, I've still found no good solution. I'm having the same problem. I'm using a Jabra Extreme. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just got the earpiece for bday and wanted for 6 mths now. Hate to not use it the way it was intended.
[G1 Android Development] jdougs:
My EVO 4G is bone stock and the audio on my s9hd is flawless as long as I'm sitting still. As soon as I walk around the skipping starts 1 to 3 seconds at a time. Outdoors its even worse. I have tried the rebooting and disabled WiFi suggestions as well as the audio only setting in the Bluetooth menu with no difference whatsoever. If there are any other ideas out there I would love to hear them.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] HTC-187:
So I decided to buy the used, unlocked Fuze that I posted my question about earlier (in another post). Now that I've started to use this phone, I realized something weird about it... The keyboard that's on the phone doesnt match what it's typing out... FOR EXAMPLE.. there is not the numerical row at the top, however when I used the top row (which has only symbols, etc) it DOES TYPE the NUMBERS... can i configure this, or did somebody replace the keyboard...

It also has a black circle on the back inside of the phone that says VOID!!... I'm thinking that his phone might have been wet before? or not..

PLEASE RESPOND... ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT (don't tease me..)

EDIT: Here is what's going on with my keyboard..

This is the keyboard on my Fuze (standard At&t keyboard).

This is what ACTUALLY types out when I use my keyboard (mainly the # keys and SYMBOLS are different).

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I am having after my 1.5 update (non-rooted). After my update I played around with it for a bit and love it but I went to play with my bluetooth and I can't listen to music through the headset like it said it was suppose to do. I get a ringing noise when someone calls but no music thru it. Did I do something wrong with the manual update or something? If someone could help me I would truly appreciate it.

Also I was curious if its possible if I can root my phone after the update or is it not an option anymore? I been thinking bout it now and is loving the cool themes you can get.
