I tried searching but could not seem to find anyone talking about this here. Ever since 4.3 came down for my Tmo Note 2, I have not been able to listen to my .wma audio book files. I had been able to before the update. Anyways, I just thought I would throw it out there in case anyone else had noticed this and if anyone could direct me to a fix to add the wma decoder back to my device.
Thanks.

My voicemails are downloaded as amr files. The stock htc music player says "cannot play this type of audio file". Poweramp plays the files but they're so distorted to be unintelligible. There is some info on win systems but very little that I can find for android. Is there an app, process or way to hear them?
I've looked around a bit more. It seems a problem with 2.2.

This thread link discusses exactly my problem. The running theory expressed there is missing codecs. Perhaps one of the developers could help out?
I searched and couldn't find another thread about this so here goes...
Got a new bluetooth car stereo and my music and calls sound great, but my EVO doesn't transfer the track title/artist/album info to the stereo for some reason. I know it's not the stereo itself as my friend paired his BlackBerry and it showed the track titles. Tried this in stock music app, DoubleTwist, PowerAMP and unrooted on 2.2 and rooted w/CM7. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Possibly just answered my own question but if anyone can confirm that would be great...it looks like the EVO only supports AVRCP v1.0 so far?? And if so, is there any way to upgrade the BT profile to 1.3 or 1.4 to allow for metadata transfer? Again, thanks in advance.
Yeah... the evo bluetooth profiles fail.
I'm currently using PowerAmp and love it...I know that metadata xfer is and has been working for stock player for a while, but does anyone know if this feature is available on any ROM besides AOKP? They're dropping support for us :crying:

If you're using a new phone with bluetooth 4.0, AVRCP 1.3, metadata transfer will not work until the music player devs update their programs. A rooted phone may work. For non rooted we are at the mercy of the devs, and poweramp has been promising an update for over a year now.
So I am having a slight issue that I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with. I recently put on ics-deck-inc alpha 5 and everything for the most part is working great. One things that I am still struggling to get to work is Bluetooth streaming metadata to my head unit in my truck. The phone will stream the music no problem, but the metadata doesn't show up.
I have tried using the stock music player that came with ics-deck-inc and the new CM9 music player that was released recently and neither will stream metadata. I should mention that when I was using the stock player on CM7 the metadata streamed fine to my head unit. Also, I can get metadata to stream via Bluetooth to my head unit when using Pandora on ics-deck-inc. I am not sure if it has something to do with the Bluetooth stack (?) or just a limitation of the music player software.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think this is a Note II question directly, but the Note II is what I have experience with, so I'll ask here.
I went to Best Buy to try out bluetooth pairing my phone with the car stereos. Aside from the pain of trying to get some of them connected, in the end I was able to see song metadata using the stock music player, but not spotify. I searched the web and it appears spotify doesn't have AVRCP 1.3 (yet?) which is supposedly the reason for this.
Then I decided to make a more prepared trip: besides the former two apps, I additionally loaded Pandora, Slacker Radio, Last.FM, MOG, and iHeartRadio. I went back to Best Buy and found while for the most part I could get any of them to play/stop/fwd/rev, none of them showed the metadata. One exception is I was able to get one ($500) stereo to do Pandora (including album art), although then I could never get it out of Pandora mode (I didn't spend too long at that, I was tired of testing by that point).
So my questions are:
1. There seem to be three versions of AVRCP: 1.0, 1.3, 1.4 but I can't find which the Note II has. I'm guessing it's at least 1.3 because the stock player was able to pass metadata. Anyone know?
2. Is it really true that basically every app is missing support for passing metadata? Or is this related to the specific Note II ROM or the stereo firmware?

If you use Spotify or Pandora, there are modified apps that support metadata.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081475 is one for spotify.

When on oxygen is can see the song that's playing on Spotify on my radio of my ford fiesta mk7 2011.
But when I flash all of the roms Bluetooth streaming works great but the radio don't show the song title.

I assume you're already in Oreo? This is a well known Oreo issue.
I suffered this on my Nexus6p when I upgraded to 8.0 and 8.1.
When I switched to OP5T, the same thing happened after the 8.0 update.
I heard that this metadata issue does not occur on Google Play music. But like you, I prefer Spotify.

Hi, are you still having BT metadata issues?
Try this:
Go to Developer Options, and look for Bluetooth AVRCP Version.
On Android 8.1, this should be set to 1.4, but you should see an option for 1.3. Set it to 1.3.

Hi! Just came across this thread here on the forum. I currently have a Volvo V40(2017) and it worked flawlessly with my iPhone 6S through Bluetooth. Every app I used to stream managed to get the metadata there, that being Spotify, Apple Music or even Twitch!
I ditched the iPhone and bought a OnePlus 5T and now when I do pair the device with the car and stream music through Bluetooth this happens to me. The only thing shown on the car monitor is Audio Streaming without any additional information about it. I already tried every single Bluetooth AVRCP version available (1.4[Default], 1.3, 1.5, 1.6) and not one works. Also I'm currently using Apple Music but I don't think it matters because other applications also don't pass the metadata as well.
It's really annoying not being able to see what is currently playing and its also the only thing about my recent iOS to Android change I'm sad about so far
Any other ideas on how I can solve this?
Thanks!

I feel your pain.
Back in 2014, I had a nexus phone that was running on Kitkat. And in addition to the song metadata, etc., I am also able to use my car's voice dialing function to make calls on my phone. But when Lollipop came out, my car's voice dialing suddenly stopped working. But at least I could still make calls and I still had metadata.
When marshmallow came out, my car's dialer suddenly stopped showing the profile picture of the person I'm calling (or calling me). The clock sync function also stopped working. But at least I can still make calls, and I still had my audio-track metadata..
Up until Nougat 7.0, the audio metadata still worked.
It was when Nougat 7.1 came out that I lost the metadata.
When Oreo came out, it was a hit-or-miss affair. Sometimes I get metadata. Sometimes I don't. I could not figure the correct sequence that I followed to get the metadata to work.
I was lucky enough to find the AVRCP tip from a Honda Car forum.
I'm sorry I don't have any other ideas at this point.
i have Pixel 3xl with Android 10, - Bluetooth connects fine there is no metadata - song info. this problem started with 8.1 Android version and I have not been able to get it to work. I really cant believe google cant fix this issue or even aware of it. plenty of threads on google. I think they all use Iphone, i am guessing ...this is very annoying. I have change the avrcp version from 1.4 to 1.6. no luck, also I read that turn off battery optimization on Bluetooth. no luck. any suggestions would be appreciated
