[Q] New Bluetooth Issues with Official ICS update. Anyone else?

---

I was running CM9 nightlies, which worked great. Then I flashed back to an official ROM and updated to the official ICS. Now I'm getting frequent disconnects when listening to music via bluetooth audio (bluetooth speaker dock, in-car bluetooth, etc). I never once had this issue with CM9 nightlies.

Anyone else experience similar issues?

I am too. Never had a problem with Gingerbread but just upgraded to the official ICS and it's freaking annoying.

I'll probably be switching back to CM9 nightlies. Even in its pre-beta state, it seems far more reliable than the official ICS ROM.

I do really like Samsung's music player app, though. I only wish I could install that on CM9 somehow.

If you are having BT disconnects on ICS,
Try plugging in the charger while testing it. The phone won't enter deep sleep while charging.
Some of the BT devices are not playing well with ICS.

My BT under ICS is about the same as under GB (all stock) except that my headset pause/play button no longer works under ICS.

Well, CM9 is ICS and I had no issues with my BT devices. It's something unique to the official ROM.

Maybe there's a way to modify the BT/sleep behavior on the official ROM, but at that point why not just use a custom ROM that works better?

I started having trouble with BT disconnects a few months back when I began testing Shostock2 and AOKP custom roms. I think custom roms are great, I just prefer Shostock2.
The charging cable plugged in work around will be my best suggestion for non-rooted ICS with BT disconnect issues.

I'm still using Tasker to avoid the problem.

Probably something changed in the BT software somewhere...

I'm getting high voltage warnings with the stock ics and once the battery passes 35 percent it drains quickly. If I plug it to charge the phone just gets hot I have to restart to get it to charge

I installed the F1 Galaxy Nexus ROM (ICS 4.0.4) and never had any problems with Bluetooth disconnects. So hopefully it's fixed now. I'm dl'ing the latest ShoStock 4.0.4 and will see if it's fixed as well.
