Bluetooth, Samsung Galaxy S2 And Ics

[steven_9709]

Hi all

Just thought I'd share my recent experience of a Bluetooth problem I had after I recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S2 to ICS.

Before I upgraded my phone, it was paired to the stereo via Bluetooth and performed faultlessly, allowing me to use it hands free and stream music perfectly.

However, once I upgraded my S2 to ICS the music streaming stopped working properly, it would stutter and seem to be trying to play the music in small, very slow blocks.

I spent a few nights researching this, but didn't find much help other than people recommending hard-resetting the phone and re-pairing it to the stereo. Needless to say this didn't fix the issues.

However, tonight I stumbled across a work-around for it, so thought I'd share it in case anyone else was suffering from it.

On the music player on my phone, I selected "via phone" whilst it was paired/playing and then selected "via bluetooth" to resend the output to the stereo and it now plays fine although I have to go through this every time I connect the phone and want to listen to music.

Not ideal, but at least it's working

Is that only for the music or handsfree too?

Apologies for taking the post slightly off topic, but can anyone tell me if the Blackberry Bold (9780 to be exact) is a compatible smartphone to use with a CT200?

My BlackBerry Bold 9780 works fine as handsfree and transferred the contacts no problem. Apart from the +44 issue have no problems. Haven't tried to Bluetooth music though. Hope this helps.

Only for music to my knowledge, I haven't actually made or received a call via Bluetooth since I upgraded to ICS

Still waiting for mt CT but had the same problem with my RX450h and the Samsung Gallaxy S2 and ICS. The only way I could get it to work was to delete the phone and the set it up as a new phone. It now works perfectly - hope that helps?

I've already tried that, but didn't help in my case. Thanks though
