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.
Hello Everyone I am here to find some answers (hopefully)...
So I got the HTC One Coming from the Iphone 5. I've had numerous Android devices before, and apple products. I just recently also purchased a subaru wrx, it has bluetooth radio. When I had my iphone 5, i synced perfectly with the radio, hands free worked Awesome. When i got into the car my spotify or pandora would immediately start playing..
Now i get my htc one, and i pair my phone with the car, but my hands free audio sounds terrible, i can barely understand what the other person is saying. On top of that i have to manually connect the phone to bluetooth everytime i turn on my car, its very annoying. I have tried many different roms, and kernels, and i even went back to stock but i can't seem what the problem is. I am about to change the radio in the car thinking its not very user friendly with android devices.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I am pulling my hairs, i love the htc one, but i miss my handsfree bluetooth functionality. I have tried searching the forums, but i haven't found any answers that worked.
I am having the same issue with having to manually confirm the Bluetooth connection in my car. Mines on a Toyota 86 with the GPS in dash, I believe it's made by eclipse who supply Subaru?

I have to manually connect each time to my bluetooth nakamichi speaker.
I too am having same issues. I also have a 2011 WRX with original radio. With my prior phone (GS2) I connected without problem and automatically every time I started the car. I have to manually connect the HTC one every time. Many others seem to not have this problem with other vehicles, so I'm starting to think it's the Subaru radio not playing nice with the phone. Please post if you find a solution.

I installed an app called Bluetooth file transfer that fixed the issue somehow.

I had similar problems in my car with an alpine radio, but with my galaxy s3.
In fact the thing is that when you register a phone on your radio (in my case) the radio just looks for the first one defined and registered to autoconnect.
Now, if in your radio you clear registered devices list, and try to register your htc, i am pretty convinced that it will autoconnect all the time.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Nicolas.
My HTCone synched immediately with the OEM bluetooth in my 2011 Kia Forte. No problema, in fact, it is a much better connection (clarity) than with the old EVO 4g, which initially required a bit of fiddling to make work. Hands free phone call system on the KIA works very well too. FWIW.

Thanks for that. I sorted out how to BTconnect my HTCone<--> Macbook, but could only do so, one file at a time. The app you mentioned works great (!) and allows me to push multiple files at ne time. Reviews say it is also a great file manager, that I have yet to determine but if so, an added bonus.
I am also having a problem with the HTC One bluetooth in my car. The phone connects to the car’s bluetooth system, pairs properly, although very slow, it uploads the phone book and call history. The problem is the call quality. The people I am calling complain about the sound, they feel the volume is too high and this distorts the sound, as well as there is too much noise added to the voice, or something like that. As soon as I switch to the phone speaker the sound that they hear gets better. This makes me think the bluetooth on this phone sucks. One person suggested the interaction between the noise canceling and main microphone is mixed up, but if I am using my car's sound system it should not use the phone's microphones anyway, or maybe it does? I guess what I am trying to say is that when I am using the car's stereo it should use only the car's microphones and speakers , but sound like the phone noise canceling microphone is still active.
If anybody has ideas for fixes, or suggestion for further tests, I will do it.
P.S. I didn't have any problems with my car's bluetooth with my iPhone 4 or Nexus 4.
Same for me. Sometimes the problem disappears. I assume the problem comes from the BTstack. In fact, the one is the only Android phone I know that use a different BT stack than blueZ. This stack is HTC one. It allows us having avrcp 1.3 (The name of the song displayed on our car audio). I hope the HTC one Google edition use blueZ stack. I will try a Rom based ion that. If the problem disappears, it will confirm the problem come from HTC stack.

BT problem
Hi,
I'm also having a problem with my BT while paired to the BT in my awesome Volkswagen sirocco.
I don't see any contact or missed calls or recent calls. The log is empty.
Any help will be much appreciated.

I am having the same issue...I had the Motorola Atrix 4g and it paired immediately with my Pioneer deck. That phone always reconnected and like you mentioned, pulled up Pandora etc. Now I have the HTC One, and it paired and connected but it refuses to play audio. Handsfree works (kinda sloppily, also like you mentioned), but the Media Audio portion doesn't work even though the phone reports that it is connected. My stereo says no device detected when I switch to BT Audio. I hope you find a resolution to this issue, I have searched everywhere and of course I saved the best for last and decided to finally check here @ XDA.
I posted earlier in the thread that I was having difficulties pairing my One with my Subaru WRX factory radio. I could not get it to automatically connect with the phone each time I started the car. I could manually get it to connect but that was a pain every time I got in the car. I was able to solve my issue by deleting every other pairing the radio had with other prior phones. I deleted any pairing my One had previously and then paired it with the car radio before any other device. It now connects regularly every time I start the car, and both audio and phone functions work perfectly. I would recommend anyone having blue-tooth issues to try the same. The Subaru radio also had a weird menu system that was different whether I was pairing the phone by using voice commands or trying to do it with physical buttons on the radio. Very confusing but going through the hands free voice command menu seemed to pair both audio and phone functions, where I could only pair audio functions when using the physical buttons on the radio. Seemed like two different systems.
Been having crappy noise issues with my 09 Acura TSX. I emailed HTC regarding this problem but, of course, their response was to 'check with the car manufacturer'. Will try that method and see how it goes.
My problem is a bit different. My htc One connects flawlessly with my JVC unit that too automatically. But it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. And that is a major issue. The phone also gets insanely hot in this process and today the OS crashed two times and i had to do a Hard Reset.
I am coming from an iPhone 5 on which bluetooth streaming was flawless.
Anyway to stop the auto-disconnect and re-connect going on.
My Bluetooth is mess up.
It can pair up, but the Address Book is not showing up on the car screen menu now. I don't know what happened. When I play music on my phone to the Bluetooth in the car, it is silence.
Does anyone know what is going on?
HTC One Bluetooth Problem in BMW
I am having the same problem.
My HTC One connects, I can make calls from the phone and the calls are clear, but I cannot see my contacts.
I have emailed HTC and they say it is the car (BMW 5 series). I have checked with BMW and there isn't an update for my car available. I am therefore, using the latest software. I previously used the HTC sensation which worked fine in the same car.
I am wondering if one could install an older version of the Bluetooth and A2DP software as the those on the HTC One do not work in my car and I cannot see BMW developing any updates and if they did, the cost could be as much as the phone.
Would appreciate any help

I can now see my contacts after more than a month!
I did many things, some of which I do not believe had anything to do with the process required.So I will stick with the main points and if this does not work I will include all that I can remember.
I unpaired all phones in the car (including the HTC One)
Pair the HTC One
Look out for the message BMW wants......................... contacts
Select yes
Wait for the contacts to load, this took a couple of minutes at least.

Been trying to find out for the longest time the definite set of codecs that the One supports over bluetooth. Besides SBC and AptX, does it also support MP3 and AAC??
The reason I'm asking is that I'm coming from a (company supplied) iphone and have been generally very happy with the bluetooth audio quality to my car's audio system (Audi) and Bose Soundlink Mini speaker. I know for sure the iphone supports AAC and due to the quality suspect it is used in both cases.
The Bose at least does *not* support AptX, however getting a definite codec list for the Bose is also impossible. I only managed to find buried in the offfical bluetooth certification pages that it is a BT2.1 device.
Why do all these manufacturer's hide this documentation?
Very disappointed to find out that the Bose Soundlink Mini negotiates a link with the HTC One using SBC...
These are both premium devices for which top dollars are paid, and they still shovel this **** on me.
I'm not sure on where to place the blame here, HTC for only(???) supporting AptX next to SBC, or Bose for only supporting SBC(???)
As mentioned, both are not transparent in their devices capabilities - isn't there an app to find out these things?
Beats is at least more clear: "Bluetooth 2.1 audio and supports SBC, aptX, AAC Codecs for high quality streaming"
Hi all, I have tried searching around and haven't managed to to find anything even remotely similar (if such a thread exists, I apologise and I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction), So i'm posting as a last resort, I really hope somebody is able to help me.
I am experiencing a lot of random "snicking" and clicking over btaudio A2DP between my xperia Z and my 2010 camry hybrid. The snicking is not present in bt calls, just bt audio playback. I have not experienced this problem with any of my older phones in the same car (iphone 4, 4s, sgs, sgs2, sgs3 have all been without issue).
The snicking is most noticeable in quiet or silent parts of a song, although lately from time to time it will progress from quiet snicking into full terrible distortion on every beat requiring me to pull over, unpair the phone, powercycle both the car and the phone and re-pair everything to get it back to something that is listenable.
I am using poweramp, but have tried several different music players to rule out the possibility of it being the player.
Has anybody encountered this, or able to help me troubleshoot it?
I am using a completely stock xperia Z, no mods whatsoever.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
*bump*
surely there is somebody here that has an idea of whats going on?

Thank you for your reply, I have tried with poweramp, and the standard walkman app, both have the same problem. I tried my wifes xz on the car and it was much much worse (dropping out, freezing etc) So I can only assume sony (or telstra) have screwed up the a2dp as it works completely fine in calls.
I might try dropping something non branded on it and see how it all goes.
Thank you for your time.
Hello, Im new to this site but I've always found helpful answers here so I thought I'd ask a question. I have had LG phones for about 4 years now. The G4, and all the v series up to the v40. I have always had an issue with Bluetooth audio and I've yet to find a solution. It seems to be only when connecting to a car radio. At first it will play fine and then it just stops. The progress bar continues in the music app and the radio says it's playing but there's no sound. The only way I've found to make it work again is to restart my phone, which I have to do at least every other song if not more. Anyone else have this issue or know a solution? BTW it's not just one particular radio it's every car Ive tried it in. But Bluetooth speakers or headphones work just fine. So frustrating!
Semi-educated guess; software issue within car systems?

Any chance you are using a fitbit or other device that uses BLE? I had that issue, disabled the fitbit app and my music started working. Big difference tho, I could restart the google music app and it would start again...didn't require a phone reboot like you mentioned.
