I'm using a Samsung HM3500 bluetooth headset which also has a A2DP stereo option with my AT&T Galaxy Tab. Whenever I play music through the bluetooth, the music will pause for a split second while I am doing other things on the tab such as loading web pages, opening menus, going back to home, etc. It just seems to cut out when I am doing things that use a little bit of CPU power. When idle it mostly works, with only a few cut outs every few minutes or so.

I have flashed gingerbread and my modem to use it as a phone. Do you guys think this is an OS issue or an issue with my BT headset? Thanks

I use bluetooth headsets alot and i had this issue from overcome beta (first gingerbread release) to 2.0.0 gold. Didn't have it with froyo before and don't have it anymore since overcome 2.0.1.

If you disable wifi the issue should go away. I know some people were able to decrease the frequency of the breaks in audio by changing the interval at which it searches for wifi locations, but I don't recall. This is a very common issue which has been seen on android and windows mobile devices alike.

I don't think thats the issue I have. I only have wifi turned on when I'm at home and while at the office. During my morning/evening commute (train to subway to bus) is when I use my bluetooth headphones the most, and wifi is switched off. I never got to try it with Froyo because I flashed Gingerbread as soon as I got my Tab last weekend. I will try flashing overcome tonight, hopefully it solves the issues. Thanks
