Any one have a rom they can confirm sends Artist/Album/Song info over bluetooth? Using my new Parrot Asteroid headunit and using the andromedus ICS rom it doesn't seem to send any song info on either the most recent play music player or pandora.
Would prefer an ICS rom, but if none support it i'd be willing to kick down to something else.
so... I think I've narrowed down my issues with newer ROMs coming out and my bluetooth not working in the car anymore. just a little background information,
- 2011 Toyota Camry SE w/ JBL Audio
- Verizon Galaxy Nexus using various ROMs
prior to any newer releases, I would use voice/audio over bluetooth, ran great without a problem. I didn't get metadata on screen but was ok. pandora, spotify, notification sounds, google music, etc... worked like a charm.
well... now I noticed that only voice calls & google music work over bluetooth connection in the car. I thought this was first an issue with pairing the device to the car, so I deleted all the profiles in the car and redid connection on phone. I still couldn't get sound out of any other media application i.e.; pandora, youtube, notifcations, spotify, etc... I could only get google music to work correctly. the apps not working look like they are playing, I turn off bluetooth on phone and it continues playing, but when bluetooth is on I hear nothing.
so after researching, I see that majority of new releases include AVRCP 1.3 which pushes metadata to the displays. I noticed this now works with google music, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get other media services working properly. I've researched on RW, Google, other Android forums and can see some have similar issues, but the thread soon dies. [/background]
can anyone tell me if I can use an updated ROM with AVRCP 1.0 instead of AVRCP 1.3 to test? does anyone have suggestions I could try to get other media services working? thanks!

I think it's AVRCP 1.3 in CM 10 based roms that breaks this. I just switched to jelly belly 9 (4.1.2) which rolled back bluetooth profiles back to AVRCP 1.0 and pandora etc. works but without media info obviously. I also saw a AVRCP 1.3 patch for Pandora somewhere that may make it work. It's possible that the problem isn't that the ROM is not compatible, but that the Apps aren't.

Ok... I've confirmed it has to be AVRCP 1.3
Last night I took advice. I installed Jelly Belly 9 "4.1.2" w/ reverted AVRCP 1.0 because of BT issues, and this morning I went to work, tested connection with BT and everything worked! So... Looks like the issue lies with AVRCP 1.3. I don't see metadata on screen anymore but it doesn't bother me, I'd rather have all other media players working.
To touch on what others are saying, statements Google Music works perfectly fine with AVRCP 1.3 based ROM's as well as voice through BT. It's just the other media players i.e; pandora, slacker, youtube, notifications, etc.... that don't work. I'm guessing from what I read, is that the applications do not support AVRCP 1.3 and will not push to Toyota head units properly. Not sure if this is going to get fixed or not, but sucks because this limits what I can/can't use for ROMs at least a solution was found and reason why. Thanks bud!
You could also try https://github.com/loganakamatsu/PandoraAVRCP for the Pandora patch. Maybe patches exist for other apps as well...
I read on another thread that any app that supports the Scrobble Droid API hxxp://code.google.com/p/scrobbledroid/wiki/DeveloperAPI will pass the meta info to AVRCP. So I assume if you install ScrobbleDroid app hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jjc1138.android.scrobbler&hl=en from the play store any app that it is compatible with will also pass the meta info to the display.
As noted, Pandora is not supported as it does not broadcast its intents. I personally had issues getting the PandoraAVRCP github to patch. If anyone has a patched pandora.apk, I would certainly appreciate a PM.
Good luck.
I'm seriously considering moving to this phone. Can someone verify that stock sends media metadata (artist, title..) across Bluetooth?
Thank you!

Nobody?
I've seen threads about problems connecting to head units, but no comment on the media info.

If your headunit supports it via AVRCP, so does the phone. Verified using the AT&T firmware, stock (samsung) music player (didn't try the google music player) and a kenwood headunit.
Take care

Guys a quicky, is the GNEX running android 4.3 and streaming music to my car's stereo via google play music supposed to send metadata to it?
Cheers!

Actually it doesnt work even with other music players... So Google marketed android 4.3's major news in the form of Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 and the new OpenGL, neither of which are actually supported by our phone?
raidews done
works for me
but on
CyanogenMod 10.0 and 10.2
but something went wrong betwen nighties august 16 and 22,
its now crashing
I have yet to see any metadata tags on a CM10.2 nightly on my Play Store GNex as well. Bluetooth audio works just fine, but no metadata is appearing yet.
i noticed that when using bluetooth audio in my car it just says streaming audio even with local music files, but with the stock rom it passed along the songs info so i could see the track info on my deck. with play music. my nokia wp8 would always show the track info whether it was local or streaming...is it a change in how android handles bluetooth between 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 or just how cm10 handles streaming audio? i noticed my tab with cm10 and 4.2.2 does the same thing
