Hi all... Purchased my Iconia about a week ago and am generally pleased with it. I have been having an issue, and after scouring the interwebs I haven't been able to find a solution.
My sister also has the Iconia, and yesterday we attempted to initiate video chat sessions with both Gtalk and Fring. Video works fine on both programs and on both tablets, but on her Iconia, strange audio distortions are coming through. Sometimes we can hear what sounds like music, which would lead me to believe that it may be some kind of interference.
We've tried chatting when I'm at home and she's at her place and both on her network. Also we have both tried starting the sessions . Always the sounds are on her tablet. We haven't tried it yet where we are on a completely different network(s).
What can we do to troubleshoot the problem? We both purchased from BB and still have some time to exchange if it is a hardware issue, but I would like to make sure that it isn't some kind of interference or software issue first.
BTW we both live in Philadelphia... I live blocks away from a TV station which furthers my suspicion that it may be interference. Thanks for the help
It's not interference, it's the Iconia
Tried video calls between our Tab and my PC, and between the Tab and my phone. Sound is just screwed up for VOIP and video calls. Acer needs to fix it in a software update.
Thanks MaddMatt. I'm going to stick it out with the Iconia... I think that most of the bugs will get fixed in upcoming updates. But I think my sister is going to exchange for the Flyer.

So then I guess it would be my tablet with the issue, since hers is the one that is picking up the sound from my microphone?
Hi, my first post so be gentle!
Does anyone have one of these, it is the Bluetooth version of the MK809 ii and although I'm generally happy with it, it does have a few shortfalls. I am using it with a lan adaptor which works well.
I have a webcam that sort of works with Skype, but the large (Skype caller) and small (local webcam) images are the wrong way round, so if anyone calls I have to squint at the tiny picture! I tried the version off xda but it's the same. Any help there would be appreciated.
I've never dabbled with flashing anything android but should I be looking at doing this perhaps, and if so I have not seen any mention of the Bluetooth version of the MK809ii. I'll probably turn it into a vegetable anyway!
I welcome any thoughts/experience with this gadget.
Cheers

which lan adapter are you using and how much.
I am looking to buy the mk809ii, and was wondering what are some CONs and disadvantage you are seeing now? I heard it is much better than the mk808 as it has less glitches?

I'm using the BOBJGEAR usb to Lan android adapter, works fine out of the box on my tv stick.
Aside from the Skype problem above (REALLY annoying!), not too many cons to be honest, just minor niggles mainly with some apps not being suited to it.
-Youtube seems to have lost its ability to go full screen for some reason, works fine on my Nexus 7 and is the same version.
-I have tried a few DLNA media apps to try and view pictures, videos etc from my NAS and they appear to be occasionally laggy across my network, the media app that came with the stick seems to work the best but looks pants!
-Watching films is generally a good experience, but the rendering isn't fantastic on darker films, probably mainly due to the quality of videos I have. Youtube HD videos are perfect.
-Google earth works but there doesn't seem to be any zoom buttons so is useless, i haven't looked into that yet.
All in all i'm happy with it, I bought a Xenta bluetooth keyboard with built in mouse which connects fine directly with the built in bluetooth. The mouse is a bit frustrating though so will be buying a bluetooth mouse.
Hope that helps
hi sadsplace, im just thinking of buying one, are you still happy 2 weeks in, any new suggestions?
thanks

No Skype calls on new MK 809 II
I just got this new TV stick which seems to be working fine. Still, I'm unable to make calls in Skype. I attached a USB webcam and I also paired a bluetooth headset, I enabled video calls in Skype, but when I get to call anyone, after 2 or 3 rings, the call fails no matter if the other party answered or not. The only error message I see is "Call failed".
If anyone experienced this, is there a way to at least see if the webcam and the BT microphone are correctly installed? I tried several webcam apps from Google Play just to get an immage on my screen and finally I got one, but not in Skype.. .

Hi fellow xda'ers
I got the 4.3 OTA today for my Nexus 4 and the problem of stuttering bluetooth audio persists for me.
This is in reference to the bug described here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39633
I also unpaired my phone and re-paired it but still facing the same problem.
So, just wanted to ask around...
1. Is anyone still facing this same bluetooth audio bug like me in Android 4.3?
2. Can anyone who had this bug in 4.2.2 confirm that it got resolved for them in Android 4.3?
Thanks..

I am using my phone with a Clarion car stereo.
The issue now is much rarer than it was before.
I guess I need to test it out for a few more days.
Thanks..
Worked fine for me in 4.2.2 .... now in 4.3 LOTS of stutter and occasional drops. Very annoying and probably related to the change of Bluetooth in 4.3 ... hope someone comes up with a fix, otherwise I'll need to go back to 4.2.2 as I use Bluetooth for music lots. Anyone that can help ... ??
I was excited to see that as soon as I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 my bluetooth streaming worked flawlessly in my car for a 2 hour drive into the mountains. However, a couple days later the stuttering came back, just as you described.
This was the one thing I was looking forward to for 4.3 but it looks like we've been let down.

Odd, I also have a Clarion stereo. I'll be curious to try it out in another car with a different brand of stereo to see if it may just be that our phones don't play well with Clarion...
I've never had issues...I have a Sony stereo and I also play in my buddies new toyota truck and plays fine. I would try on other devices..my guess would be your problem is with the stereo than the phone

I'm not really sure, what's happening.
I tried earlier on with Poweramp Player (third party app) and Google Play Music, I had stuttering in both the apps.
Then I decided to unpair the phone/stereo, change the phone name and then re-pair. Just wanted a fresh start..
After that, I had the stuttering problem whenever I used Poweramp player. The problem happens within 5-7 min. However, when I use Google Play Music, it seems to work fine. However, I haven't tested it for long. Maybe 1 hour max, so can't say if my hypothesis is correct but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. After 7 months with this phone, I really need to get Bluetooth working.

I'm in the same boat. But I really am wondering if looking at the software/apps used is the wrong method. I've been doing the same thing. Over the past 7 months I've tried various ROMs, kernels, radios etc. and nothing changes it. I've talked about it with various friends with Nexus 4's and none of them seem to have any issues.
At this point my money is on the Clarion stereo being the issue but I still have not tested the phone with another stereo. This weekend we are visiting my parents. I will try using the phone with the bluetooth on my Mom's 2013 4Runner and my Dad's 2010 F150 to see if I can replicate the problem. If it works with both their cars then I will be in the market for a new stereo. :laugh:

At the same time have you checked the reverse? Any other phones that work fine with your stereo?
I have and I can say all other phones have worked fine with my Clarion stereo.
If N4 continues to have problems with the Clarion stereo, it could be easier for me to sell the N4 and get another phone, unfortunately a non-Nexus one

It seems the problem is with our Clarion car stereo indeed. A lot of Clarion stereos have bluetooth issues:
http://www.fixya.com/support/t12082313-bluetooth_audio_streaming_breaks_up
http://community.crutchfield.com/car_audio_and_video/f/27/receivers/t/22006/clarion-cx501-bluetooth
Phones like iPhone 4, Lumia 920 and Moto Razr also seem to have these problems.
My stereo CX501 doesn't have any bluetooth firmware upgrade too. Though, they have provided some firmware update for some other stereos like NX501 and so on. So you should check out on their site for a firmware upgrade.
http://www.clarion.com/us/en/support/compatibility/bluetooth/index.html
I really think you're right. I tried streaming music through my girlfriend's car stereo last night and had absolutely no issues. I've also read the threads you linked to as well as a few others and the consensus is that Clarion keeps trying to pin the blame on the phones and not their receivers. Looks like it's time to change stereos...

You should at least check if there is a firmware upgrade available for you on Clarion's support site before spending on a new stereo.
Unfortunately, it's not available for my stereo CX501.
I have stuttering too on both my A2DP devices. Both are cheap: one is from DX, th eother is from a local 'dollar store' (where it was 10 euro or so).
The one from the dollar store seems to work fine after pairing, but not when connecting again.
The one from DX (z nice plug for the aux in of the car, with a mic and henadsfree speakers through the car audio) seems to stop stuttering after a few minutes. The audio level is a lot better with 4.3.
But no difference in stuttering beween 4.2.2 and 4.3.
Problems remain
I have found no improvement with my Nexus 7 with Android 4.3. I get stuttering every minute or so. I've done a bit of reading and found that Bluetooth is hellishly complex - and would be very difficult to debug. For instance to set up audio streaming, both devices need to agree on a codec to use. There is a default base level codec. As I have found that the issue is worse on some bluetooth receivers than others, I can only guess that the issue relates to Android's selection of a codec or other parameter on some devices. I certainly have no issue with any device streaming from my windows laptop (no matter how busy it is).
I have the exact same issues with bluetooth stuttering.
Using 4.2.2 PACman rom on my Note 2 with a Sony MW600 bluetooth adapter, the audio would switch off for a second every minute or so, whether using Google Play music or PowerAmp, but it seemed to happen less on the former.
Updating to 4.3 has made it worse, the audio now switches off for at least 5 seconds to the point where i have to check if the phone or app has crashed each time.
I never had an issue with the Revolution HD rom (I think its called?) but I believe that's mostly stock?
It kinda feels like the bluetooth can't handle the bandwidth depending on the size of the file. I think there's less stuttering on lower quality files - could just be in my head though.
I have a Galaxy S3 i747 running latest 4.3 CM10 rom. My audio stuttering actually got worse when upgrading from 4.2.2. Using platronics 903+ and a bluetooth stereo unit for my motorycle helmet.
Very disappointed. My work iPhone doesnt skip a beat.
This is my first post. I haven't seen the topic anywhere and was looking to people that have experience with this. Any advice is appreciated!
I have an older Yamaha receiver that I use for my surround sound. It doesn't have hdmi, bluetooth, etc built in. It only has the red, white, yellow in the back. I have an auxiliary cord that I use, but I'm looking for something wireless. I use the ATT SGS4 as well.
I have tried the AirPort Express, but can't get the audio to stream. I've been in contact with the AirTunes dev, but still can't seem to get it consistently working. I'm looking for something similar to the AirPort Express, but for Android.
I know a bluetooth adapter is an option, but I'm unfamiliar with the quality and range that I would get.
Essentially I want a device that I can stream music too using the red and white ports in the back. Maybe a Roku?

OK, I don't think you'll get a lot of responses here. This section is kind of open Q&A, but it seems really focused on Galaxy S4 (i337+) and not so much the far end peripherals, although they do get mentioned now and then (mostly car BT it seems to me).
However, I do use a couple of ROKUs, the older one is great to stream music from computer, phone and internet. Bluetooth works for me in a one-to-two room distance and that depends as well. If I were you I would go to a Best Buy, or audio store with these questions and also perhaps post in the general section of XDA and maybe find the ROKU site as well. Google searches also will help get you some useful, broad-ranging answers.
Meantime, you're here, and if you haven't already done so, you can scan these development threads, which can offer you tips on maximizing what you can do with your S4. Sorry to be redundant if you already have done that already. . . .
Good Luck!

It all depends on where you're trying to stream your music from. You mention (for relevance I think) that you use a Galaxy S4. Are you trying to stream from the S4, from a computer, from what? There are HUNDREDS of methods of solving this.
Some involve Roku as you mentioned, you could also use a 'Y' adapter that goes from the Red/White RCA cables from the back of your stereo to a FEMALE 3.5 MM auxiliary jack, then you can plug in these cheap devices sold that plug into 3.5mm aux like a headphone, but the device allows you to tune into a radio station on AM and stream that way.
You can buy some RCA adaptive bluetooth boosters which would allow streaming of music.
It all depends on how you're trying to go about this.
Hi All.
So i am playing with this radio. It is a Ford S-max 2011 version.
I have now gotten lights in the buttons and steering controls works.
Even Ford Sync integration works now.
I have the reverse cam hooked up and working.
BUT I can´t get a video signal out. I have 2 yellow video in plugs. A yellow for reverse and one for video out.
I have screens in my headrests, and i know they work. But I keep ketting a no signal message. I have tried changing input channel.
I have been into settings and checked video out ON.
But still no signal. Someone please help, i need the screens to work for my kids .
Could it be a firmware update to make them work?
