Hi, is it just me or is the quality of sound on the wizard realy bad?
The normal speaker used when making a call is barely audible and the people on the other side complain they are unable to hear me.
Playing wit the the AGC does not make a noticable diffirence...
And then... When using Bluetooth it is even worse. It is so bad that I no longer use my BT, and I have two BT headsets: A Bluetrek G2 and a I-Tech Stereo one.
Does anyone have any advice?
Strange, I don't ahve this problem and I also use a BluTrek G2
Just bought Plantronics 590A bluetooth stereo headset, and tried it out with my prophet (XDA Neo with JAMin WWE 2.13 ROM). I would say it is really a perfect combination.
I have tried HT820, and also another one from Creative (I can not remember the name), but for those two, the sound quality is really bad!!!!! Espcially for HT820, you can clearly know that you are wearing a wireless headset, since the sound quality is way much worse than wired headset! I do not understand why so many people are still use HT820, anyway it was really terrible. So, I sold both my HT820 and Creative one on eBay, and started searching for better quality headsets. I found many reviews on Plantronics 590A, and all of them compared the 590A with HT820, and concluded that 590A is way much better than HT820 in terms of sound quality. So, I finally decided to give 590A a try.
It is really a perfect match to my Prophet. The sound quality is superb. You would never notice you are wearing a wireless headset through A2DP. The sound quality is even better than many wired headsets on the market. Anyway, the 590A is the best bluetooth stereo headset I have ever tested. All the buttons worked perfect, forward, and back button worked perfectly. Play and pause worked perfectly, too. When a call comes in, it automatically switched from stereo music mode to handfree mode (during the call, it is still stereo, but the sound quality in handfree mode is not as good as in stereo music mode. But you can hear crystal clear voice in handfree mode from both ear phones). Anyway, everything is perfect! I strongly recommend the 590A.
Also, a universal bluetooth adaptor is included (3.5mm). I used it to listen music from my laptop. It is wonderful. But you know, since I used the 3.5mm adaptor for bluetooth, the forward and back button of the headset is not working. That is normal. I can not blame it. Again, the sound quality is superb, and the signal from the bluetooth adaptor is amazingly strong. I can listen music from downstairs, upstairs, 2 or 3 rooms away without losing any signal and sound quality.
The only problem I found is that after I used the headset to listen music from laptop through the included bluetooth adaptor, if I want to switch to my prophet, I have to turn off the headset and turn it on again, otherwise, the headset will not automatically switch from one device to another device. I am not very sure it is really true, or I did not set it right.
Any of you using the Desire HD with a BT Stereo Radio and/or stereo headset. The sound quality sounds really bad to me. I had the same thing on my HD2 @ default settings, but fixed that by changing the linespeed in registry. (bitpool on older WM phones)
Have been googling and can't find anything of the sort for Android. Is there a way to fix the audio quality?
My brother has the SE Xperia X10 and it has way better AD2P audio quality, even though it's still android 1.6. So it's not an Android bug, but rather a driver/setting somewhere.
Also the range the BT has is really small, I have a Logitech Pure-Fi Mobile speaker, which connects through BT AD2P, the quality is lower then on my HD2 (after tweaking) and the range is only 5-7m, while the HD2 managed to have skipless playback and higher quality at over 15-20m...
Apart from this I'm really loving the phone . And my car radio has full support for the other BT features. Like skipping tracks (in Spotify) and dialing numbers via the address book on my car radio instead of on my phone. And see who's calling on my radio's display.

Hi there, I'm really interested in that too. Would you say it's just a slight problem of the sound quality or is it merely unusable?
If you use Bluetooth headset you can forgive about good music quality. that's all
if you need good quality audio in bluetooth, buy this:

Won't really help at all, as I need to connect it to my car audio.

You can compare the quality with 96Kbps MP3 which is really bad imho, but still usable. It's about the same on many phones though, allmost all are set to max 31 bitpool... But with windows mobile it was an easy fix.
As the source code is out, I hope the ROM builders can soon find a way to fix this.
Hi
I use a pair of plantronics 590e headphones over A2DP and the quality is brilliant! I have not changed a thing in the setup.
I wont play anything lower than 192kbs (most of my mp3 are 320kps) as i am a real fussy git when i comes to audio.
I have used the standard music player and tunewiki and both are perfect!
Are you atchaly using the A2DP or standard mic and mono sound protcal for calls?

My MM200 Sennheiser work flawless. Music is rich and crisp!
You won't know the difference if you haven't heard the difference between bitpool 31 and bitpool 58, it's like night and day to me. Even 256kbps MP3 sounds bad to me tho.
Tried different audio files and it's not spotify causing it. As my brother is also plaything through spotify at HQ settings (which is 160Kbps OGG, comparable with 320+ Kbps MP3) ...
Eagerly waiting for an AD2P fix for android.
When I have my HD playing music through my Car's Bluetooth the quality is also pretty poor.
For some reason I can't choose any of the EQ settings? If I could just try and add some treble I think I could put up with it!
Just tried playing music via bluetooth to my sony head unit in the car and it became so choppy it was painful to even try to listen to it.
Great phone but really disappointed that there is a problem like this as one of the main uses of my phone is for audio in the car.
I use a Sony Ericsson mw600 and the quality is not good. The same headset with my sisters itouch and it sounds great. Is this a hardware or a software issue?

You must be careful with the mw600 that it connects in the correct mode. As headphones NOT headset for music. If you get it wrong it will sound awful. You can check by tapping the Mic during playback, if you can hear it through the headphones you have it set up wrong

i had exact earphone, but it's just awful. first of all; htc doesn't make me choose any sound enhancements, other thing is, my 320kbps musics aren't different from 96 at all.
ps. i am an audiophile.
Imanaged to find my old iTech BlueBand headset yesterday and gave that a go. Sound quality was loud and clear and well balanced.
Shame about the delay though - it's worse than I'm used to. Video is pointless as the lag on the audio is far too much to be bearable.
The only 'probem" I've encountered with the N4 is the sound quality of phone calls using bluetooth hands free link in my Acura. My wfe has same issue in her Mercedes. We sound very tinny or robotic. Our previous GN devices had a much richer sound. Can the sound be tuned somehow to sound more natural?
I don't know about tuning it, but the Bluetooth quality is terrible. Everyone I speak with sounds scratchy?
My Bluetooth Headphones sound fantastic.
I don't have bkluetooth in the car. So?
I also have audio quality issues with bluetooth audio quality in my car. Loud high-frequency sounds seem distorted or something like that. It's very distracting.
I'm coming from a Nexus S where I never had such issues.
Here's a bug report regarding bluetooth audio quality (A2DP): http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39632
I'm not sure if it also covers bluetooth phone call audio quality.
I use Sony mw600's to stream audio over Bluetooth. Great sound, exceptional distance and pretty damn good battery life for stereo Bluetooth.
I voided my warranty.
HI All,
I only ever use my I9505 for Bluetooth audio. There is plenty of apps out there that boost the sound quality and loudness for headphone jacks and the phones speaker itself, but i am finding it hard to find any that deal with Bluetooth audio...
I currently connect to:
1) Bluetooth for my car - for music and calls
2) Bluetooth for my headphones i use at the gym - for music only
Any suggestions on how to get some better sound quality / loudness?
I currently use Player Pro music player - which has a DSP Sound Equaliser pack - but i am not too sure on how to fine tune that... It seems that the quality drops dramatically when i incease the volume too much?
Cheers
Not aware that any apps can help with quality, although there may be some that can help with Volume like Volume+ (although I'm not sure if they will affect bluetooth).
To increase sound quality I would recommend getting an Apt-X enabled bluetooth headphone/receiver (I use the HS3000 which has Apt-X, is relatively inexpensive and quite versatile since you can plug in whichever earphones/headphones you want or even connect it to speakers/stereos via a 3.5mm-3.5mm cable). The Sony one you have doesn't have Apt-X so is not able to take advantage of the S4s Apt-X capability.
