Next Jelly Bean Release Will Fix Bluetooth A2DP Audio Streaming

The next Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update will bring a much anticipated fix to the operating system. The update will fix the Bluetooth audio issue that has been plaguing Jelly Bean since its release. The issue mainly centers around A2DP audio streaming, where the audio lags and/or cuts out frequently.

Google has confirmed that the next Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update, which should be Android 4.2.2, will completely fix the issue.

There hasn’t been a confirmed release date for Android 4.2.2, but hopefully it gets here sooner rather than later.

There hasn’t been any word yet whether or not this update will include any other fixes.

Are you a victim of the Bluetooth bug that seems to be affecting a large amount of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean devices?

Victim Of Changes here also.....RAZR Max HD running JB 4.1.1....my issue is while listening to iheart or Pandora thru my Bluetooth headset and a phone call comes in it shoots the music thru the phones speaker until call is disconnected when it should just pause or cancel the music to answer call and then start playing again after the phone call is ended. I also have a Galaxy Nexus which recv'd the JB 4.1.1 update but has no Bluetooth issues.

 daywalker4life My issue seems to be intermittent.  Like I said in my first post, I'm streaming through my car using SYNC with MyFord Touch.  At first I though it was an issue with SYNC because a week after I updated the SYNC/MyFord Touch software, the skipping began to manifest.  After further research, I found the Cadillac owners using CUE and Chrysler owners using U-Connect were experiencing the same issues.  All people had the RAZR Maxx HD or the RAZR HD.

 

For me, I was experiencing the skipping of tracks in Pandora and Spotify every 10-12 seconds into a song, but then a few days ago it stopped skipping.  Now it seems to be ok even though no updates were pushed or installed (by me) on my RAZR HD.

Yes.  I'm a victim of the Jelly Bean bluetooth bug.  I have a Droid Razr HD with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.  I use Pandora and Spotify to stream music through Ford's SYNC with MyFord Touch.  Each time a song plays, it skips to the next track after 12 seconds.  It's really annoying and I can't wait for it to get fixed!
