I just got this phone yesterday and so far I'm still on the fence about keeping it. I just came from a Nexus One and I miss 2.2 severely but I can manage to wait another 30ish days.
To the point of this post...
I have a bluetooth radio in my car which I connect my phone to and play all of my music. On the way to work this morning I Connected the Vibrant (for the first time) and the audio was dropping out. It happened randomly and sometimes for 1-2 seconds. I've been using my N1 for BT and I've never had a problem.
I've searched Google and I haven't found anything for the Vibrant.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I had this issue and turned off wifi and it went away. I think it only happens when you have wifi enabled but it isn't connected to an access point. Maybe it is from perodic wifi scanning to find an access point.

I hear you. Same story regarding 2.2. Still waiting though...
Regarding bluetooth, I can connect without problems to my Genesis Coupe 2010, whether WiFi is ON or OFF. As a matter of fact, I have all WiFi, BT and GPS ON all the time. I have not experienced any difficulties with the audio. This applies to the car/phone functionality, as my car does not support the audio streaming profile.
I'm on my second Vibrant, since I exchanged the first one due to a rattling volume key. The first one had trouble connecting to the car and I thought it was because of 2.1 (Nexus with 2.1 never connected to my car, it did just after 2.2)
One thing I did before attempting to connect to the car was a factory reset. I did it because I started to play with the GPS settings and wanted to go back to factory condition. I mention this because maybe the first one would have connected if I had done a reset to factory as well, but that I'll never know!
My phone is not rooted or modified in any way. No task killers, or anything extraordinary installed.
I have the same problem with my Vibrant. And I had the problem with the G1 as well. There's a defect out there for this (can't recall the number). The problem is with Android.

"Default [FIX] Fix poor AAC streaming performance (Pandora, Slacker, etc) on Froyo
When I installed Froyo on my N1, I found that streaming quality over Pandora suffered tremendously; low-quality was unbearable, and high-quality sounded worse than low-quality normally does. The change to StageFright from OpenCore is to blame here, while it improves HTTP streaming, it's AAC decoder doesn't decode LC-AAC streams properly.
To disable it temporarily, use
Code:
adb setprop media.stagefright.enable-player false
and restart any applications actively playing anything. To disable it permanently, pull build.prop from /system and change the value there. When you restart, it should be disabled; use adb getprop to verify.
Of course, the phone needs to be rooted for this to happen, as r/w access to /system is required.

Stagefright isn't in Eclair, It's in Froyo and Pandora has already updated to fix this issue [for me anyway].
I'll try switching off Wifi and seeing if that helps. Thanks for the replies.
I'm having the same issue with my jabra halo headset. It's quite annoying. OP please post if you find a good solution.

make sure nothing is blocking or touching the back of the device, this is where the antenna is located. The ' skips ' you get is when your devices can't find each other... and when they do re connect , you hear a change in the pitch of your music... this is not skipping just a signal block.. if you want to confirm, download the logcat app from the market.. and there you will be able to see what is happening when you get a ' skip '..
hope this helps...
This happens to me as well when trying to connect to my Sony headunit via bluetooth.. Its not skipping.. The music just cuts out for a second or two randomly...I have tried using a mxzing and the standard music player, but it still skips out every once in a while....I will try turning of wifi to see if that helps...
I can use the bluetooth for phone conversations and it works fine with no skipping... I can plug the phone into the head unit via the headset jack and it works great with no skipping... It is only when attempting to listen to the music player through bluetooth that it skips!
Even if you get it to stop skipping the quality is so poor its not worth listening. Broken GPS, compass, and bluetooth, fix this Samsung!

Try swapping between aux and bluetooth on your phone and you'll know what im talking about. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't if it sounds okay to you now .

This was the same problem I had. My music was constantly skipping when I listened to music at work. I thought it might have been the stock music player, so I downloaded MixZing (which I actually prefer now) and had the same problem. At first, I though it was the bluetooth on my phone...but sometimes it would play fine all night long without any issues. I started restarting my phone before playing music, thinking the OS just had some minor memory management issues. Finally, I realized that I was leaving my WIFI on when I left my house. I use WIFI at home and have never had skipping issues with my music. When the WIFI is on, and I'm not in range of a router, I think the skipping almost certainly happens when the phone polls for new connections.

Bluetooth works on my Vodafone HTC Magic, but it's a fiddly pain in the arse. Process seems to go something like:
1. Turn on headset
2. Headset connects for phone audio only (music still plays on phone speakers)
3. Go into bluetooth settings, disconnect headset (if it isn't stuck, in which case exit and re-enter settings, or if that doesn't work boot the phone).
4. Re-connect headset (from within settings), which now connects for phone and media audio.
5. Play music, which then often skips for half a second or so about once a minute. If it skips constantly, jump to the next track which usually solves that.
The skipping doesn't always happen, but it does seem to happen regardless of whether I'm at home, work or in a tube station, and whether I've got the phone in my pocket or held up near the headset.
The quality's not bad apart from the skipping, and usually it doesn't skip enough to be truly annoying, but it's still a little disappointing from a £350 phone and a £90 headset.
So, I had the exact same problem, and I may still have it. I have now rooted my phone and applied the sapphire 6.0 update. I'm listening to music right now and it's working fine now with no skips. Having said that, however, I found that sometimes it would work flawlessly before as well.
Anyone have another A2DP device that acts similarly? Or is the problem with the magic.
When I connect eh MM200 to my macbook-pro it sometimes refuses to respond to the button pushing and such. Not sure what exactly that indicates.

I've also rooted and updated to 6.0, still got the problem. I think to be honest it actually pauses rather than skips (I caught it pausing for ~2sec once, it's harder to tell with the shorter "skips")... it still does it when there are few other processes running, so I'm not sure what is bothering it. TBH I've not really tried it playing music without the headset to see if it happens anyway!
I've beemn messing with my phone (Magic) all day try to get the bluetooth to connect to my bluetooth usb dongle or my old phone, both of which work fine together and with everything else,
My PC can find the HTC Magic when i put it in to visable mode, but other then that it wont show up and service's for me to use with the phone,
My old phone (Samsung F700v) cant find the HTC Magic at all, altho i did manage to find the F700 on my Magic and pair them that way but still my F700 wont find it anywhere (with visable mode on,)
Am i missing somthing or does the Magic/Sapphire have a very bad Bluetooth flaw,
on a side note i've only had the phone less then a week and its not rooted, is it worth it? and is there a noob guide to the basic's eg. which version does what and what all the cons are?
Thanks
Edit:
guess i just found my answer...

Android does not support any bluetooth services other then "hands free".
This means that you can only use BT headsets.
Android (either G1 or Magic) phones cannot natively send files over BT, cannot use BT a modem, etc...
There is not third party tool so far to send files via BT to other devices.

I'm not sure if it's the same as your issue, but mine seems to cut out every once and a while when streming. Seems to only happen when another process is being accesed. It's like BT is on the bottom priority for CPU and Mem.
I have 1 1/2 hour comute to work and before I start the Pandora stream, I stop all other programs from running. Even when 'Sync', well Syncs, it will cause he BT to cut out for a moment.

I have no stuttering, if that's what you mean.
Only bug I've noticed with BT (and I don't even know if this the manufacturer's fault, or the rom I'm running), but sometimes after I turn off bluetooth, sounds that normally go to the rear speaker (like music, the alarm clock, etc), will instead be piped to the ear speaker.
But a simple reset, or going into and out of bluetooth mode usually fixes that.
Make sure that WiFi is off too, that will also make the stream skip.
I have noticed that if wifi is turned on, but not connected to any networks, then the bluetooth audio will cut out every 30 seconds or so for half a second (when the epic scans for wifi networks). If wifi is off, or if it is connected to a network, I never have this problem.
This was bothering me when I used my phone to listen to music in my car. So, I used Locale to disable the wifi whenever it connected to my car stereo. Problem fixed!
Hope this helps

I have this same issue. It's only on the Froyo beta ROMs.
I have all of the problems above described. The music player issue does not get better when i turn off every running process, including wifi, gps, etc. Same thing with bluetooth or playing from the earpiece. I was hoping that the OTA 2.2 release would fix this because of "enhanced bluetooth support", but i didnt realize it was happening with just the music player alone (at first i thought it was only bluetooth that I was having the problem with).
Does anyone know if this problem goes away if you download a third party music player such as Winamp or one of the others?
I am running 2.1 DI18, rooted FWIW.
Only with Last.fm does it skip. Sirius, Pandora and slacker all play fine. However remote controls don't work with Viper version c.

+1 heavy like Flash Player. I noticed that if I have my BT headphones going, the flash video will stutter like a sumb!tch and it slows the vid to less than half speed. I've noticed this on any and all dk28 roms I've tested. I wish this could be easily fixed.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
For whatever reason, when I use my Bluetooth headset for audio while watching a video, it causes the video to stutter. It's watchable, but really annoying. The same videos have no issues on wired headphones or the external speakers. Anybody else having this problem? If not, any guesses on fixing it? I have a 3g Xoom on stock 3.1.
Finally, someone else acknowledging this problem. I started a similar thread a while back and it went nowhere - only solution suggested to me was to try overclocking - so I went ahead and installed Tiamat Kernel and overclocked - and no change - still got stuttering video when using bluetooth.
This problem really drove me crazy at first. Spent ages re-encoding my videos thinking it was a problem with the video itself. Then one day I forgot to charge my BT headphones, and was forced to use wired headphones and the video played perfectly. Thats when I realized what the problem was. Since then I have only been using wired headphones to watch movies and have been using my BT headphones only for video podcasts where I don't care about slowdown. Wish there was a solution. I really miss my wireless headphones for movies.
Anyway its nice to see someone else has made the same observation. I was really perplexed that no one else seemed to be bothered by this problem.
Bummer! I was hoping my problem was an isolated one that could be fixed with a reset or something. Guess I'll just start carrying ear buds around and save the headset for music.... Thanks for the reply!
I have a similar issue that I posted in the Q&A section but no real replies. For example when I turn on bluetooth to stream my music to a bluetooth receiver, I cannot surf the web at the same time because it's really slow to load pages. Once I turn off bluetooth, the wifi works at full speed.
It's pretty bad to the point where the page that I am trying to load actually times out. I thought it was my Xoom that was an issue but apparently not. It's impossible to use something like Audiogalaxy to stream music from my computer and transmit it using bluetooth. The constant fighting for wireless/bluetooth signal creates pauses and gaps. I'm thinking the same is happening to your video. Can any one confirm that this happens with another brand tablet? I have until June 13th to return this to Amazon. I already pre ordered the Galaxy 10.1 but would rather keep the Xoom with the expansion slots and usb port if I can.

I can confirm that this BT - video slowdown doesn't happen with my Galaxy Tab 7 which is a single core running android 2.2. So it makes no sense that using BT should demand so many resources that it brings a dual-core HC tablet to a crawl.
Correct. Do you mind streaming music from your Xoom to your headphones and go to a sight like Engadget to see if it is able to load the entire page?

I haven't ever really watched a video with bt headphones, but I use them all every day when listening to music on my Galaxy S and I can say that I get really ****ty network performance for web browsing, and that my phone is noticeably slower while I'm using the bt headphones. This has been the case on two different 2.2 roms and on 2.3.3.
I haven't tried these headphones on the xoom so I can't say there, but at least it's not the only device with BT issues.
I'm still having this problem...anyone else?
I'm having the same problem. Get random pauses and freezing. Guess I'm switching back to wired headphones.
Hmmm...I haven't noticed this issue. I watched Thor in 720p using the HDMI output to my TV and my bluetooth headphones the other night...no freezing or stuttering.
The problem is that BT and WiFi both use the same frequency band, and as such the WiFi/BT chip has to switch control of the (same) antenna between both halves of the chip. Now, BT audio (A2DP) is a stream, so when the WiFi/BT chip has to snatch away the antenna for WiFi (even if you're not actively using it, there's periodic stuff like beacon frames and background data, etc.) the stream gets interrupted from time-to-time, and because the audio system- which gates the playback of video streams- gets "bunched up" with data that couldn't be sent while the antenna's switched to WiFi, sometimes you get these pauses.
It's not really a CPU or processing-power issue.
When I watch movies on the plane thru BT headphones (and WiFi is off), I never get any stutters. I suspect if you turn off WiFi it'll smooth it out.
Updated my tablet to Android 4.2 this morning and afterward watching video with Bluetooth headphones it's skipped popped and just been generally awful. Curiously music works fine. Anyone else experiencing this?

I just tried a few mp4 clips and didn't experience any skips/lag. Can't try avi right now as mx player doesn't work in 4.2 However, it seems there has been some changes to bluetooth. If you have your volume loud enough you can hear it 'stop' using the bluetooth if idle for a couple of seconds. Never heard that before. Also, a bug that really irks me is latency with bluetooth in games. Previously, games like dead trigger would seem to lag well over a second behind, almost 2 seconds. Now it's about .5 of a sec, however it's skips,scratches etc.
Other games fair better. For example, mame has about .5 of a second where it exhibited the 2 second lag previously. Not nearly as many skips as dead trigger but I heard a couple.
Btw, is android the only platform that has this issue? I read old posts of ipad's/iphones having it back in 2009 but I believe they fixed it. My friend has a playbook and it didn't support bluetooth stereo profile (ad2p) but they released an update last year and it works perfectly. I tried a few games on his device and none of them exhibited any lag, scratchiness etc. So RIM gets it right the first time and google has had this issue on all their devices for years? There's a few bugs filed on this on the official google bugs forum opened in 2009 and no response from any developer.
EDIT:
Just tried youtube with bluetooth stereo headset, audio breaking up, stops/starts. It seems to be going quiet if there is even a moment of silence in the video. God damn it, I use this all the time and now it's unusable. This was at least one thing that worked fine with bluetooth. It could be my connection right now but I highly doubt it. I'm at home and this connection is always fine, this is the first time I've experienced this. I bought this headset for gaming, videos, and voip. Voip didn't work because bluetooth mics are basically non-usable in android, gaming has lag, and now videos won't play properly. I think it has to do with using the wifi at the same time with videos as videos downloaded from youtube are fine.
Yep this mimics my issue. Streaming anything results in choppy playback over Bluetooth. This really is not acceptable to me, and its hurting my view of my nearly brand new Nexus 7. I really hope we see another OTA seeing as I can't very well turn WiFi off on a device that relies on WiFi.

It isn't WiFi bandwidth related as far as I can tell. I can buffer a video, play it, and still the audio flips out. This is just disappointing and sad on Google's part now. The same issue affects the Galaxy Nexus, as well. Did no one even bother to test this before it rolled out??
I've been having the same problem since the 4.2 update - the bluetooth issue is definitely linked to wi-fi (no skipping on downloaded video while wi-fi off; skipping as soon as I turn it on). Online bluetooth streaming of any audio whatsoever is basically ruined.
I thought maybe changing the channel on my router would to the trick, but no dice. Google was very sympathetic over the phone but completely unhelpful - "this is the first we've heard of this."
I've only been an android user for a few months. Are they usually pretty good about addressing stuff like this?

bluetooth now working
My bluetooth headset (Samsung) was stuttering the other day as many people are reporting. I did play around with the settings and at this point I have no idea why, but it is working fine.
I had done 2 things:
1. I unpaired every device and re-paired them
2. On the wifi advanced settings, I set it to never sleep and disabled battery optimization
Bluetooth then worked fine using Pandora and TuneIn radio. I changed the advanced setting back to optimize battery and all still works.
Now extremely happy with 4.2 but baffled as to why it now works.
I am going to test more but I read it from someone else and it seems to have helped me, is to disable gps. Others said it didn't work for them so maybe it depends on the bluetooth device as well. But with gps disabled youtube no longer lags/skips and stays in perfect sync, but I'm going to test more.
And with gaming, it's almost in perfect sync, however some games still skip a bit and some lag more than others (mame4droid seems to lag the most). Whereas before 4.2 all games had almost 2 seconds delay in audio.
So in some ways, bluetooth is actually better in 4.2 in that they seem to be closer in getting the lag in realtime apps (games) working. So I hope their fix is not to simply revert to 4.1.2 bluetooth.
Anyway, try disabling gps, it may work for you.
To all those who are trying to use Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, Good luck!
They both work at 2.4ghz frequency most of the time you will only able to use one. Unless you're around 5ghz wi-fi.
I got lag and werid things when my music player (Play Music) tried to play .avi file
It is not BT that is broken in 4.2!!!
First of, 4.1 was working fine with my BT audio, got the OTA update and it was still working fine after first reboot... couple of days later mine started to act up...
It was almost impossible to listen to BT audio... but BT is not the problem!!!
It is either the Audio Effects service/program or Google Music... easy to test...
Connect the BT audio device, go into settings, apps, running stop the Google music service, stop the audio effects thing... BT audio does not skip at all anymore... It is as flawless as it was in 4.1... so the BT is not broken i any way... it is either the audio effects service or the Google music stuff...
I hope someone will fix it... but it is not BT that is bugged...
When I connect the smartphone with the car via Bluetooth, the music is just intermittent suonds. How do I fix this?
I would like to know this too, anyone?
I started having this same issue after the last/first Tmobile update, before it was fine.
Same thing here. The music would either play through the phone's earpiece or sound like a call playing through the Bluetooth speaker. I read YouMail was a cause so I uninstalled and it still happened I force closed the phone app and it worked normally after that. The issue may definitely be from the T-Mobile update tho.
Yeah been having an issue with volume fading after initial connection, drives me nuts since I use the phone for GPS and music streaming. so I use the v30 for bt music and OnePlus for gps
I'm having an issue with the phone trying to automatically connect to a second Bluetooth device and begin playing music on it. This happened tonight while following behind my wife's car.
Every time we stopped at a light it would connect and I would loose audio in my vehicle and play in hers. No way to stop it connecting other than forget the device or turn off all the functions in that device settings.

Bluetooth nightmare
I've been having the same issue since I bought my T-Mobile 6T last year and am pulling out my hair trying to figure out how to fix it. I have a "GTA Car Kit" Bluetooth module installed in my '06 Mazda 3 and I use Android Auto with my phone docked in a CD slot mount to give me hands-free text messaging, navigation and music / audiobooks. My phone is also always connected to my android wear watch, so it's technically connected to two Bluetooth devices at once when I use it.
The problem is that audio playback via Pandora, Google Music and my audiobook app that plays on-device mp3's intermittently stutters or skips. It happens immediately sometimes, other times it will work perfectly for half of my commute and then start stuttering every few seconds until I finally just turn off the music/audiobook completely.
I've tried:
Turning bluetooth on and off
Turning my car radio on and off
Changing the developer mode settings for Bluetooth AVRCP Version, Codec, Sample Rate, Playback quality etc.
Clearing storage/cache for Bluetooth
Switching to the international version ROM for the device
Once I got the Oxygen OS v10 update I really though the problem was fixed, but after a few days of working fine it started skipping again.
Does anyone have any idea what's causing this or other things I can try?
[EDIT] I found one more new thing to try on the OnePlus 6T forums https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/bluetooth-stuttering-solved.1076196/
I'll give this a try and report back
