Hey all,
I am using the Droid 3 Stock ROM, but Rooted. I connected the Micro HDMI cable I bought (and a second one to make sure it wasn't bad) to the TV, and the picture is perfect, but the Audio is completely scrambled... garbled, whatever. It is completely unbearable. You can't make out even one word. I tested out movies, music and Angry Birds. Again, all the video is flawless, but the audio stinks. I even tried 2 other TVs to rule that out. Am I missing a setting in the phone somewhere?? Thanks for your support!
I'm researching the same issue. Here are some interesting data: my wife and I picked up a pair of D3's last October. Hers is completely stock, while mine is stock-rooted. Long-story-short is that I can't get any kind of audio out from mine over HDMI, but hers works perfectly. At the moment I'm not interested in testing whether being rooted is the issue (seems REALLY unlikely) but the fact that I get it to work on her phone and not mine completely eliminates the cable(s), TVs, etc. It's something about the phone..

Appreciate any advice on this one - trying to play back music via Bluetooth headphones and it sounds pretty good but every 30 to 60s the music skips for maybe half a second, driving me crazy
I tried the same headphones with a friend's Desire HD and no such problem, which is real annoying considering our Incredible S is a new handset.
I've searched for answers and tried the obvious like disabling wifi, not running many background apps, turned off synching, turned off data, set to GSM only. Even factory reset, with only default apps installed.
Not found a solution. Have sent HTC an email for their advice; notice on their website that the Desire HD supports many more bluetooth profiles than the IS - is this just something that it cannot do, or is it something that HTC should fix?
Have you tried playing music through normal headphones or the loudspeaker?

Thanks yeah it's fine through loudspeaker and wired headphones. Tried Poweramp also, played with transfer rate settings but still same problem.....
I've not got a Bluetooth headset so I can't test, but I wad hoping to use Bluetooth headphones with it so I won't be happy if they don't work. When I get to try some out I will let you know what I find

I've been using my Incredible S with an old Alpine KCA-100BT connected to my car and there is no skipping.
I've also tried it with my Jawbone Icon headset and there is no skipping as well.
It works well while being charged, Google maps GPS directions on, and Pandora app using HSPA data running all at same time. I've just been using the Pandora app for music though.

What kind of BT phones are they? Back in the day I bought a cheap pair of BT headphones (actually, a clip in which you can plug in your own earbuds) and came across a problem similar to yours. The headset receiver was capable of higher bitrates but it would pause for a second every few minutes. Turns out there is actually a small cache buffer in the headset with a bad solder, so it kept losing data after streaming. I tossed them and got another clip (same make, model) and that works fine, but the range is limited (less than BT 2.0 should be). Finally I got a pair of SE MW600 (despite the fact that I despise Sony) and so far they've been a breeze (except the touch strip volume controls, a damn terrible idea).
So basically what I'm saying is it might be the headset, see if it does it with another...
They are Sennheiser PX210 Bluetooth headphones, work ok over bt with my pc, and the Desire HD
Don't have access to another set to try. My mates just laughed today, 'what DID you spend that much on a pair of headphones for.....' Actually I am wondering that, got them last year on offer.
It's just that my old Nokia 6300 can even stream to them without any issue.
Why not the IS?? Can't help but think that this is HTC software-related somewhere.
Well thanks for everyone's replies.
I'm heading back to exchange my Revo for a different one, but I was just curious. Has anyone had any problems with the sound over the HDMI output? Like it going out every minute or two for like 2 seconds(only when video is streaming, whether it be a game or HBO Go, Pandora works fine). Then over the 3.5mm I hear this screeching sound at random intervals. Tried multiple radios, cords, and applications. I am very happy with the Revo thus far, and it seems once the Recovery is found out, it'll be a much easier phone to work with then then thunderbolt. Can't wait, but I think it's obvious I got a defective unit.
Just wondering if anyone else had these problems?

i linked my phone to an older tv and got no sound through the HDMI but i also think that i read something about having to have a certain type of TV that has some sort of anti piracy crap on it i am still looking into it.
I have received my T-Mobile Note 4, and I have the infuriating problem of random Bluetooth streaming skips / stutters. Does anyone else have this issue? I know it was a known problem on the S5's, and it never really got fixed...
Does anyone have any solutions for this? I checked out the ViPER EQ mod, could that help?
Currently I am 100% stock (latest version, got the T-Mobile patch right away), and I only use Spotify for music. I have experienced stutter in my Nissan, a pair of Sennheisers, and a Monoprice Bluetooth adapter. What's also upsetting is that the stock Samsung music player often starts playing when a Bluetooth streaming device is connected...
Any advice?

I am having the same issue. I really don't know if this is an issue or not. I drive charger and my M8 was the same. It's annoying I feel ya. hopefully someone can tell us how to control this thing.
i've had that issue since HTC One...
not sure if i ever saw a way to fix this issue.

It's funny because I'm coming from the M8 and it was flawless for me. That is was running 4.4.2, whereas this is 4.4.4... Any correlation?

I really don't know if this an issue. My M8 4.4.3 and had same thing. But to be fair Note 4 is more superior inside my car. I am able to listen to my text msg. Voice commands works really good on note 4.
I have this issue from time to time on my Nexus 5. I have to reboot it to fix it. It happens maybe 1 out of 30 times I use BT headsets. Enough to be annoying but not a deal breaker. I am beginning to think this may be an Android issue and not Samsung. Those that have the issue on Note 4, does a reboot fix the problem?
Every now and then when I play Tunein Radio Pro, it would be a hick up. I already did the 30 sec buffer. But usually it works. Is this what you mean?
In my Jeep Wrangler I have BlueTooth. Every few months when I get a new device, I always have to call my mom for the BlueTooth test. The Note 4 has been the only phone to pass. For whatever reason my mom's phone would always sound like I was in a tunnel with the exception on the Note 4. Even the LG G3 failed this. In my 2012 GTI I had issues with some devices as well as my 08 WRX. It always came down the the BlueTooth stack for phone call quality and skipping and sometimes just dropping/crashing out of BT all together. Hope you guys get yours resolved. I know this is a huge problem. Heck when Note had its recent update, I was worried it would break something its just been too good so far! Best of luck guys.
I believe its a kitkat bug. It happened on my note 3 as well
Might warrant a return.
This is so annoying. I'm coming from an M8 (and previously M7) and use bluetooth for everything. Wireless headphones at the gym, wireless speakers at home, media in my car, and a Moto360.
Never had any skips/stutters on previous devices through any of these. Moreover, sometimes the music just STOPS and drops the connection and I have to repair the two devices in the middle of a workout. Is anyone experiencing the music STOPPING? Might return/exchange mine if not.
This happens through any media app - GPM, Milk, Netflix, etc. Want to throw my device.
I am having this issue in my Outback, but it is not happening in my WRX. I was thinking maybe it just doesn't like one, but now I see this is a larger issue. I haven't had this problem with my S5, so maybe it'll clear up when some Roms are released.
I'm having the same issue with my wireless Bluetooth headphones. I thought it was because I was too far away from the phone, but I'm having the same problem when I'm close to the phone also. My Note 3 does not have this problem.
I used my like at least 6 years old Bluetooth headset for like the 4 hours and in that time I barely had skips it only skipped when I left the room and went a few feet away also
Sent from my SM-T210R using XDA Free mobile app
same here
I'm having the same problem
I find this happens when the screen is off. When it's on, no issue. I hope an update fixes this soon.
This stopped after I went to Firekat Rom. Not sure why or how, but Bluetooth is smooth now

Just wanted to verify if anyone is NOT experiencing this issue? If there are Note's out there that are not experiencing it then I might exchange mine. If this is a software issue for all notes then this blows.

As I reported before, I had a similar issue on my Nexus 5 and rebooting would fix it. It was a rare occurrence but it would happen from time to time.
I have not experienced the issue at all on my Note 4 in the 8 days I have had it. I use BT quite a bit with my Heart Rate sensor and BT headsets while running and also connected to my stereo in my Sonata. Has been flawless so far.
This might have something to do with S-Health. Audio skipped for me every 10 minutes or so. Didn't matter the BT equipment. Yesterday, I decided to Disable S_Health. Today, at the gym, about a 90 minute session...no skips. The guy above using FireKat, by any chance that rom has S-Health disabled/uninstalled by default?

Thanks so much for this idea...going to try it out :good:
Hi All,
I have an AT&T Nexus 6 and I am trying to stream USB audio out to my car stereo. When doing so I am hearing clicking and popping in the audio. I thought it was possibly a ROM/kernel issue but I am fully back to stock & locked and the problem still exists. Audio via mini stereo jack (aux) works fine of course, as does sound coming out of the phone's speakers, headphones, etc. I have tested 2 other android devices (Nexus 4 and Samsung Nexus 10) and USB audio is working perfectly fine in my car.
If anyone has any guidance on how to troubleshoot this it would be great. This is strange to me as USB audio out was added as a software update, so I find it very odd that it works on my older devices and but not the N6. If I can't get this figured out I will have to schedule an appointment at an AT&T warranty center to likely exchange my 35-day-old phone for a fecking refurb
Thanks for any help guys, cheers!
I RMA'd my Nexus 6 and the replacement behaves the exact same way. Other non-Nexus 6 devices tested work just fine.
Has anyone actually used streaming USB audio other than me?

What app are you using to stream? I tried, but do t know if my radio wont accept it or not. I know I can't read movies from my phone or flash drive.

The idea behind USB audio streaming is that you don't need to use an app. The device streams any and all audio out of the phone via USB rather than out of the speakers. This means that you can use Spotify, Youtube, Pandora, PlayerPro, etc. while connected to your car stereo via USB and have the audio in your phone played through your car speakers in lossless digital. This is a feature that was introduced in Android 4.4 but seemingly is saught out by nobody but me.
Prior to USB audio out, these were common options/solutions, all with drawbacks:
1. Plug into the headphone jack which is an analog signal prone to noise, interference, and muddy EQ.
2. Plug into USB and Android will automatically mount your phones sdcard partition the same way as USB thumb drive. This only works for playing media files that are saved directly to the phone. All other sounds/apps do not work through as the phone's audio hardware is not being used. This means no Pandora, Spotify, etc. and no controlling music from the phone. Casper, your radio is probably trying to mount your N6 this way – most car stereos do and are not expecting have a device connected that is outputting its own hardware-driven digital audio stream.
3. Bluetooth. This was the best solution as it uses the phones audio hardware and thus all audio is output the same way as the new USB out feature. The drawback to this is that bluetooth uses lossy-compression and so is lower fidelity than option #2, though A2DP has made quality far better than it once was.
If you can't already tell, I'm sort of a fidelity nazi and this is why I'm so desperate to find a solution to this issue at hand with the Nexus 6 USB audio out that noone seems to know exists.
Any update on this? I just got my Project Fi Nexus 6 and I am regretting not doing more research on the USB streaming in the car. The iPhone 6 worked flawlessly and I could change songs with my car (I just lacked good service). The car usb won't even recognize my google play albums downloaded to my phone BUT it will pull up my zedge ringtones. Every time I try to fool around with it, it just keeps looping my Mario ringtone through my car speakers lol. But seriously, any suggestions. I am so desperate.

I gave up and went with using bluetooth. Cost me another $120 in bull**** hardware that Grom Audio sells to make this "upgrade" possible. Quality is **** compared to what it could've been as well... sigh... first world problems
I have a Grom USB2 and a Galaxy S4 that I just upgraded from 4.4.1 to 5.0.1 (Goldeneye ROM). I successfully streamed USB with KitKat (Grom has a configure file that enables their unit to do this) but have been unable to do the same thing with Lollipop. I did the *#0808# thing and tried several settings but nothing has worked. Any ideas?
Hello! Just seeing if you guys can test this out for me and report back your findings.
Have snapchat open
Have music playing on your phone via any source but connected to your car via the 3.5mm jack. (I'm using google play music specifically)
Record a full video and then unplug your aux cable to see if your video has sound or not.
I do a lot of driving through pretty scenic areas and have a handful of people who enjoy watching my videos because of the places I drive. However I've noticed that when I'm playing music via the aux jack my videos have no sound. This is the first Android device I've had does this and what worries me is that it's a hardware issue and not a software issue. The reason I suspect that is because the only other devices I know that can't do this are ios devices before the iPhone 7. If you guys would be willing to test this out I'd appreciate it. I've reinstalled snapchat and checked the permissions and can't seem to find the underlying issue. Also searching for the issue with the note 8 or the s8/+ yields no results. Thanks.

Check if the 3,5 plug you are using has two or 3 rings or bands, if so, means that the cable is also passing the mic to your stereo, thats the reason you have no audio captured by the mic
