CM7 CM9 Bluetooth Audio and camera/video issues - Motorola Droid 3

Hey all,
I'm kinda confused cauz I read various postings. Anyone of the pro's here can tell me if BluetoothAudio and camera/video work 100% on CM7 ? I know it won't on CM9, but how about CM7 ?
I am looking for a custom ROM to install on my Droid3 which support my camera/video as well as BT Audio, cause I'm listening lots of music inside my car.

This is the second topic you've made a post in development that had NOTHING to do with developing. General is the place for all posts that are not about releases, ports, etc. I assure you that people read General and that your question would be answered there.
To answer your question, CM7 is quite stable. I have not done extensive bluetooth testing, but camera works perfectly if you download a software camera such as cam360 or Camera Zoom FX.

The camera works on CM9 just not the video camera because of no hardware codecs yet. As far as BT goes I think they got most of it ironed out for CM9.

As far as I know, the Bluetooth works just fine while you're using it. The problem occurs when it's turned on but not in use, the audio to other things, such as calls and ringtones doesn't work. I've used a bluetooth headset with it many times and never had any issues with the actual bt functionality.

Guys he said cm7

Last I saw, CM7 camera/video and bluetooth had the same issues as CM9. Hashcode was the only one I know of that did work on CM7 for D3 as well and he stopped development for that to work on CM9. So the CM7 camera does not work (correct me if I'm wrong), video definitely not. But bluetooth should work.

CM7 camera and video definitely works 100%. One just needs a software camera like cam360 or Camera Zoom FX

Hello again,
just wanted to add as feedback, that I flashed CM9 solana and Camera works with CameraFX Pro App, as well as Bluetooth Audio in my car. I can listen to my music which is played on my Droid3 through car audio. I also can make phone calls through Bluetooth audio in my car with no quality issues. Great! Video does not work as known for CM9 due to missing hw codecs.

So you're saying the Bluetooth works but what about the issue when it is on and not connected? I leave it on all the time since I use it in the car, but not anywhere else. Does the sound still die on that release when on and not connected?

thats right.I have to add that I had experience another issue.Bluetooth Audio for listening to my Music from my Droid3 in my car works great.But I have very bad phone call quality while using it via BT connected to my car.Sometimes it works,sometimes not.Even clean rebot and fresh BT reconnect to my car didnt help.I dunno how to reproduce this issue.Seems that theres reallly BT bugs active

EDIT: I've switched to Maverick 4.0 as BT is essential for me. Now I have BT audio and a working video cam, too. I can say, I really like Mav 4.0, looks good till now. Hope I will keep satisfied.. we'll see

CM FM Radio... Only mono?

Big fan of ya'll for a long time... Just decided to sign up and ask a question:
I installed CM7 for the first time, mainly because I wanted FM Radio on my N1. I'm disappointed to find out that the sound comes out from only one channel (right side, mono only, no matter what the setting).
I researched heavily but couldn't find a similar post. Am I the only one experiencing the FM Radio sound coming out of only one earphone?
BTW, all other features are working perfectly...
My radio is 5.08
hboot is fully updated
I'm using one of the CM7 nightly after the RC1
Thanks!

I don't know whether it provides stereo or not as I don't listen to music at all when I turn on radio. But I do have sound from both sides.

Thanks for your feedback... Definitely, the issue is that I'm getting sound out of one side (right earphone) only... I tried multiple headphones, including the original N1 headset... All the same, sound comes out of one side...
Not sure what the issue is. As I mentioned, I researched a lot and no one seems to have this problem... Everything else on the phone runs perfectly.
bump
Still, after format and full wipe, re-installed CM7 RC2, and FM Radio still comes out of one (right) earphone.
Working great here. Audio is coming out in stereo. If you click menu in the Radio app, then settings, under audio output mode there is a setting for stereo or mono.

I've tried everything... Nothing seems to work, sound still comes out of right earphone only...
I'm still baffled as everything else on the phone works perfectly... I've wiped (data, dalvik) and formatted partitions, fresh installed the ROM... Still the same issue... It must then be a hardware issue... My radio is 5.08... Does that make a difference??
Just want to be sure, did you test playing music through the normal music player? And both sides work through that?

oh yes, definitely! Sound from music player is perfect, can't ask for better... I even tried different sets of earphones, including the stock N1 earpieces... As I said, everything on the phone is working perfectly except for the FM Radio... I don't even get the wonks everyone is complaining about.
I know this is a hopeless case as I seem to be the only one with this problem...
Did another full wipe (system + dalvik), plus formatted the partitions... installed CM7 rc3, fresh and clean... Still, I can only hear the FM Radio sound coming out of the right earphone...
Oh well, I'm figuring it must be a driver/hardware issue... Since it's basically the bluetooth unit transmitting the sound, maybe my N1's BT is purely mono (or somehow stuck on mono (?))...

[Q] CM7 for optimus 2X Yes but...

Hi,
i have an optimus 2x and not pleased about stock rom, and as on my nexus one, i would like to run CM7
But before that, i have few questions, that are important to me:
With CM7 does the hdmi output still work?
With CM7 you can fixe the gps lack of update (it seems that yes)
With CM7 is the radio working
Is 2.3.* reliable on optimus 2x?
Is your device much faster?
Thxx for your time, look forward to have your comments

FM radio not working is no problem but A2DP is very important Im using BT headset for listening MP3s so this is big dissapointment for me.
Dont you know, when there could be some stable version of CM ? Lets say in weeks or rather months ?
As already specified in my post I have also the vocal controls not working
Voice actions are fine for me.
Battery life is much better for me on CM7 (currently on nightly #47 and baseband+RIL 502)
Only reason I'm not yet on CM is that A2DP support for Bluetooth doesn't work. Is this still an issue? Talking about Music via Bluetooth headset because I read that phone calls are put through A2DP correctly...
It is still and issue, and looks like it's going to be one for quite a while.

A2DP+Mono Bluetooth issues

Hi all,
Having issues with both stereo and mono Bluetooth connections while running CM7 mods (both RC and nightlies) in that the connection is made for both streams and stays connected but I'm not getting any actual sound. Have tried 3 different headsets which work fine with stock and other custom mods on this phone so it's not a hardware issue. Any ideas?

What i remember A2DP does not work right now on CM7 on O2X.
There is a post in development section of working/not working things.
Ah. Nightmare. Is mono not working yet either? I get exactly the same issue with a mono headset and hands free car kit.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
No A2DP (or FM radio) at all.
Well I know the FM radio is a hardware issue as it's not physically connected internally so will never work but hopefully there will be a CM7 release with A2DP support soon :/ either that or I'll have to switch to another mod (which would suck).
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Of course it's "physically connected internally" how do you think it works on the stock ROMs?
The problem is common between A2DP and FM radio, the audio doesn't get passed due to nVidia not releasing the HAL yet.

Bluetooth problem with Cyanogenmod 10.1

I was just wondering if anyone else was having problems with a bluetooth headset using Cyanogenmod 10.1? The call quality while using the handset is great, but when I use my bluetooth (Jawbone Era, Motorola Sliver Elite) the call quality is absolutely terrible, the person can't even hear what I'm saying.
I say Cyanogenmod because that's my favorite rom, but it also happens on AOKP, PAC, ParanoidAndroid, and pretty much every other Vanilla type Rom.
Any help or suggestions?
The same problem with Jawbone Era. All works fine in Samsung stock 4.1.2 ROM.
Yep. I have this problem, too.
Bummer, as I'm writing a Bluetooth headphone round-up for a magazine this month, and I can't review call quality without borrowing a friend's phone.
Known Issue
Hey guys the bluetooth isssue your speaking of is a VERY well known issue in CM its one of the few bugs that is still being ironed out. Its also present in basically every other aosp type rom because they are all based on CM. The awesome cyanogen devs are working on it constantly and im sure they will get it figured out :good:
So if you here any reference of an "upstream" issue in a ROM thread its most likely referring to it being an issue in CM and therefore the ROM in question. :good:
Bluetooth car connections drops and really bad audio quality when on call.

Hi everyone, I have used PARANOIDANDROID in the past for Samsung Note and had a great experience using it. Just installed the PARANOIDANDROID on my new HTC one.
I am having two issues that are forcing me to go back to a stock rom,.
1st) Bluetooth connection with car, when calling the audio quality is really bad. The person on the other end cannot understand what I am saying.
2nd) when on a call with a headphone /w mic and connected to my Mac, the mass storage keeps going on and off. This affects the audio quality of the phone call.
All other issues that have been reported here I am OK to way for, but the BlueTooth issue forced me to look for a stock ROM for now.
I hope the great the people working on these Rom ( Paranoidandroid and Cyanogenmod ) can fix these issues quickly.
no bluetooth for voip apps
I've tested CM on note I and II, the same issue shows up, I cannot use bluetooth with voip apps. Same goes for 10.2. Too bad

[Q]Best JB Rom with working BT? (or alternative CM9)

Hey guys, ive been running CM9 on my touchpad for ages but want to move to a JB rom. Im going to be using my Touchpad as a media device for outdoor speakers i have in my patio so i can walk around and change music as need be (instead of having to go inside where the receiver is to change music then go back outside). I was looking for improved roms with better battery life maybe and especially working bluetooth with A2DP. Are there are any JB roms that fit the bill? Some googling turns up Jscullins roms, but i was reading he was only doing it as an experiment and figured his BT fixes would be included in more (and possibly better) roms. Something stable with decent battery life and working BT with A2DP is what im after. Any suggestions? Thanks folks.
also, if there is nothing that fits the bill what would be the best CM9 ROM that does? I have noticed that my current CM9 build has an annoying issue with the touchscreen where if im scrolling around and let go, sometimes it registers that as a tap/click. My girlfriend hates it. A smooth CM9 build with good battery life, good working A2DP BT for music streaming, touch issues fixed (which i heard of for CM9 builds so thats why i mention it), and stable would be awesome.
Well I am running JC Sullins 0808 CM10.1 (4.2.2) ROM, and this is working well with BT keyboard and mouse. I did sync it to the car for BT Audio and that worked fine on the 5-10 minutes I used it, not tested audio over BT for any longer than that.
Generally the ROM has been stable, and am happy with it. I hope his fixes make it back into the dailies/weeklies, but we'll see, been a while now.
I did a complete wipe and start again on the device to get it working, and so far very happy with 10.1. I also am starting to use BT Audio more and more, so BT is important to me.
