Any update on this anyone? I am willing to pay a decent sum of money to whoever can implement a fix or a loophole. I constantly use the phone for wireless music connections at work, in the car, and hiking. Would absolutely love to not have this issue anymore. It's absolutely amazing that one of the product pitches for this phone was its wireless music capability and the NFC chip connectivity only to not have it work 100 percent properly

for info, I am trying to test currently the use of a gconf key to limit the interval of wifi scanning and then to remove the bad stuttering when it does.
So far, I only tested this morning and it seems to be perfectly covering the issue. But it probably needs more test before making sure that this is it.
You can check the last page of the profilematic page and see the hint from ajalkane: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79642&page=68
And if you have some money to give, donate to him
For the moment, I change the gconf key to 0 after I found this example in http://mg.pov.lt/share-wifi

I will gladly donate to the individual/s who has made progress in this matter. I would need something a little more complete to test. Instead of just setting scanning to 0, couldn't there be conditions to stop scanning once a wifi connection has been made and/or when bluetooth connection is active? Can it be made into a settings menu with slide switches for those types of options? You guys are getting into the realm of the limit of my understanding of how the system works so obviously for people like myself we would need something a little more straightforward to work with thanks so much for the reply!
thanks so much for the reply!

Bluetooth conditions will come later, maybe next version.

Additional test this morning suggests that this is not 'magic'. Indeed the automatic scanning seems to be stopped but obviously if you are not connected to internet, and something like a regular email check is asking for internet connection, then the system will try to connect using first wifi and then GSM. In that case, I had some stuttering.
But at least it seems much more manageable, especially using profitematic

The important point is that it does not connect so either it is already connected or it keeps being not connected.
It probably becomes a user preference.
But it would be nice if others try and see how it works for them.

I've set it to 0 and it's been working great for me. But I did flash my N9 completely including the eMMC. It works amazing now. FRESH.
I don't know if setting to 0 did this but my N9's battery performance is now superb! Bluetooth stuttering for me at least has been eliminated so far.
I did an hour and a half drive with bluetooth streaming yesterday and I did not hear any stuttering or quality degradation. I would agree with P@t to make sure you're connected to GPRS before you stream and you should be fine.

But like you said, it's good to get different experiences on this so that good solutions for different use cases are found (with or without ProfileMatic).
So to help with that, I'll write here what I understand to be the commands to disable and enable WiFi scanning.
Disable WiFi scanning:
Code:
gconftool -s /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/search_interval -t int 0
Code:
gconftool -s /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/search_interval -t int 300
