Hey guys, I have a question for you. I have a VZW GNex and have no issues at all with it (except the high bill). I am looking to transfer to T Mobile and have purchased a used GNex unlocked to run on the TMo network. The phone works great.
However, I do have one issue, streaming audio. I use either iheartradio or google music to stream, and when sitting here in my room I don't have an issue, but in the car the audio keeps cutting out every 10 seconds or so and I have to restart the stream.
Anybody else on TMobile have this issue? Any way I can change it?

I have tried with using bluetooth AND just a cable running from the headphone jack of the phone to the aux in port on my stereo with the same result.
Figured it out when I got on the phone with Tmo... apparently they had to update the IMEI number to fully unlock it? Doesn't make much sense to me, but it works now.

Hi guys, question. My Nexus plays music through my aftermarket stereo fine through bluetooth but my annoyance is that the info doesn't show up. ie artist name, songs etc. While my ipod shows it all. I've read that it's just bluetooth firmware on the stereo/iphone/android but it's still such a pain in the a** that Iphone has the benefits while Android being better doesn't get as much. =( My question is do any bluetooth guru's out there know of a workaround or way to have info show up. My next step is trying different players etc.
The data needs to be sent by the application playing the music. I've found that Apollo will send this data to the screen on my 2012 Civic, the stock player does not.
I think certain ROMs have the latest bluetooth firmware. I think CM9 does? Not positive. I would also like to know if there was some way to update the firmware, on any ROM.

My GN wont connect for Bluetooth Audio (A2DP bluetooth receiver plugged into car ipod dock) - I have tried and tried, different roms, etc, no luck - my 3 year old Droid X works just fine, but my 8 month old Nexus wont connect - WTF. I enter password, get error that unable to pair.
My phone pairs to the car bluetooth phone no problem, but will not pair to audio.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!
I'm curious as to how to set up bluetooth audio. My car supports it (Jetta TDI 2010). When I connect with bluetooth I can't seem to figure out how to use it. This is my first android phone and I've never used bluetooth audio before.
Just looking to be pointed in the right direction. Google hasn't been too helpful.

I'm not sure I understand what your problem is?
You can't figure out how to use bluetooth in what way, exactly?

When my phone is connected to my car via bluetooth, I cannot get the phone to stream audio, nor can I get the car to recognize that the phone has A2DP capabilities (I know my car works, I have the bluetooh audio connection and my friend used it with his droid)
I'm just not sure if I'm missing some small important piece to get the audio streaming.

So the phone call bluetooth works but not the music bluetooth?
Go into the bluetooth settings for your phone. And make sure both checkmarks are checked, one for phone and one for audio. You'll do this by editing the bluetooth connection to your car.
I have probably not so unique situation.
My Honda allows for calling via bluetooth but not audio streaming. I use an old Blackberry Gateway for that which works perfectly when I had my Samsung S2.
With the Note, the BB Gateway connects and streams audio fine but the car cannot maintain a constant connection at the same time.
I use A2DP volume (which is pretty awesome for free) to force connection attempts. If the BB gateway is not connected, the car maintains its connection. It seems the Note2 cannot do both.
Does anyone have similar problems or a work around? Or maybe know if the new leaked update fixes this? I heard it does update something about BT...
I'm stock rooted BTW

I'm having the same problem. I have a 2006 Pontiac GTO with a Kenwood touch screen and my Note 2 will connect fine, and it will stay connected with no issues until I switch to another playlist, artist, or song. That's when it seems to just disconnect itself and then, about 30 seconds later, reconnect itself.
I've tested this on stock unrooted (LJ1 and LJC), stock rooted (LJC and LK8), Jellybomb v10.2 and v11 (LJC), and H20 beta's 2.1 and 3.1 (LK8) with no luck. I also just recently started trying to use A2DP volume and it definitely helped with displaying the correct song name, artist and album (it wasn't changing when the song would change prior to using A2DP) so it's definitely an improvement but...
Considering how much I drive and how much I LOVE music this is becoming an area of major concern. If any of the amazing developers, or anybody for that matter, has any words of wisdom, suggestions, fixes, etc. it would be HUGELY appreciated.

I'm having similar problems with certain roms. Only my truck is a Chevy not Honda. Using blackberry audio gateway. The "Note Card 2.2" rom works perfect for me, along with JellyBomb. I didn't like JellyBomb. I want to switch to another. I need to spend time and found out what is different between the working and non-working Roms. I had the same problem with my EVO 4g. Some Roms worked perfect, others acted up.
I have a brand new 2015 Hyundai Sonata, and my girlfriends Galaxy S5 can send metadata and track info to my stereo no problem (using google play music). My new Galaxy Note 4. refuses to send the track info... I've tried using the AutoAudio app which will allegedly fix the problem, but that didn't help. I also tried using Poweramp and the stock music player as well, hoping that something would work, and nothing does. However, my dash unit and steering wheel can CONTROL the phone, just not display what it's doing.. So it appear AVRCP is working but not bluetooth metadata.
It's such a minor thing, but it's driving me nuts. Any ideas?
Bump -- I also noticed the sound quality over bluetooth (for the same files) is way worse with my Note 4.
I get the same problem on my 2012 Mazda 3. My understanding is it's a problem with Bluetooth 4.1 compatibility. It makes no sense as it is supposed to be backwards compatible, but it's pretty regularly reported that many car stereos aren't fully compatible with the latest Bluetooth spec and this is the result. Bothers me too. If anyone is able to get it working, please share. I'm certainly interested in a solution.

So Hyundai themselves actually called me and said that my headunit is running some really old Bluetooth stack... So old that the new version of bluetooth isn't that far backwards compatible.. It will play audio, but at a lower quality and without metadata.. They said the headunit software manufacturer (MNSoft) might have a firmware update, but they generally only do those for nav systems.

I googled MNSoft and what showed up for me was the mapping software that Hyundai uses. Would that really have to do with Bluetooth and metadata? I have a 2013 elantra with nav. I get no metadata on my screen either. Sound quality is great though since mine does come with the upgraded sound system.

2011 mazdaspeed with nav here. Same results. Haven't called for update
Last I heard from Mazda, they can't (or won't) update the software. They consider it done. I find that aggravating as cars should last longer than phones and the radio isn't easy to change out

Looks like a few people found fixes to this, but unfortunately i am not one of them. I tried switching the AVRCP version to 1.3 which led to a successful connection and the phone connection to work. However, media still does not work. My car is a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE. iPhone connects with no issues. I'm a tad bit upset I bought a brand new car and new phone only having to resort to using an aux cord
Wondering if there are any lucky people out there who got their connection to work with any different methods?
I can use the phone for making calls, but Bluetooth audio doesn't work (Audi A4 B9 MMI+).
My workaround is using Android Auto for music playback, this at least works. But I hope Google will fix this...

Same here. Unfortunately, Toyota doesn't support Android Auto...I believe android 8.1 is supposed to be released today so maybe moving off of beta into that will work
So you can't play music over bluetooth to your car? That sucks. Music over Bluetooth works fine for both of my cars. Wonder what the issue is

I have an Audi S4 B8.5 MMI+ and I haven't had any issues with bluetooth connectivity for music or calls on any OS. The only concern I has is with Pandora the clock counter for the song didn't always register, but I thought that had more to do with the app as Spotify worked correctly.
Bluetooth works fine on my Jeep Cherokee 2017. However I don't get audio songs names , that was on 8.0 though. I will try tomorrow with 8.1 on.

Maybe the head unit needs a software update, those are available all the time. I know Toyota will just tell you that your phone isn't on the "list" of approved phones and that the issue is with you phone because it's got too new of an OS.
