Help Bluetooth Audio (A2DP)

IMy Galaxy Nexus skips no less than 10 times in avg per song. I have wifi disabled as well as check for available wireless networks. I've tried stock rom and 3 custom roms. All with the same results. My old galaxy s vibrant has no problem at all with a2dp audio streaming to my car stereo. Any one got any ideas?

Hey guys. I just got my GN from Verizon and I am loving the phone. I have come across one issue though. I have a few bluetooth adapters attached to some old iPod docs. They worked wonderfully with my Droid (CM7) to stream music and podcasts.

For some reason, I can pair my GN with these adapters and I make sure the "Use with Audio" option is checked, but no sound goes though. The sound turns off on the speaker of the phone, but it doesn't give me an option to adjust the "Volume through Bluetooth" like it did on my Droid.

Is anyone streaming music through Bluetooth? I know the phone has A2DP so it should work.

Thoughts?

You have to press where is says "media audio", even if it is checked. You may also have to select "connect" on the vehicle side.
I am still having problems with audio skipping badly. I have tried several roms-all 4.0.3 based, which supposedly has some bluetooth fixes. Nothing i try will fix it completely. It is hit or miss. Not sure what else to try.
 
A2DP works fine for me on a Parrot MKi9000 and 9100.

Either you have a faulty phone, or your listening device has problems.
 
The Kenwood skipping problems are in the head unit, but it is the phone that causes the head unit to freak out. My Droid x never skipped, but the 2 gnex I have, do. If you update the firmware in the Bluetooth device it gets better, but still skips. The only way to really combat that at the moment is to make sure the phone connects to the car, and not the car connect to the phone. Essentially what that means is, if your Bluetooth is on when you turn on your car, your car asks for a connection. This will cause it to skip. But if you turn your car on, and then cycle the Bluetooth on after, your phone goes "hey I'm here!" And it WONT skip. Its the weirdest thing.
 
It sounds like this is a relatively common problem, but i'm not sure if google has admitted to it. Can't find much about it on google code. Just wondering if this warrants a replacement.
