Hi All,

I have a Logitech Pulse audio headset that I have sucessfully paired up with my Kaiser and am playing music through it using S2P. Unfortunately, every so often the playback will drop out for a second or so, and then come back on. Apparently this is a trait with all things bluetooth, and I would have left it at that, but I think I know why the dropouts are happening.

I'll be listening to my music as per usual, and then there will be noticable audio glitches which will get worse and worse until the audio completely drops out for a second. What this means to me is that the bluetooth reciever in my headphones or the bluetooth transceiever in my phone is sort of "falling behind" in the transmission. To put it into more comprehendable terms, my headset is expecting to recieve, say, 100kb/sec in bluetooth audio, but my phone is only capable of sending 98kb/sec. That 2kb that is being lost every second is what makes the audio glitches get worse and worse until it drops for a second, and "catches up" before lagging behind again later on and so on and so forth.

What I'm wanting to know is, is there some way of forcing the bluetooth on my phone to only send a certain amount of data when in A2DP mode for audio? I really think that if I could somehow limit the data transmission on the phone, it would decrease these dropouts.
