Bluetooth and Galaxy Nexus

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!

[Q] CleanROM Bluetooth Issue

First of all, CleanROM is a wonderful ROM. I have installed it on my ATT Note 2. :good:
However I have one slight problem if you guys can help me figure it out.
My bluetooth connects perfectly to my car stereo (A Brand New Pioneer made in July 2012). I can make phone calls perfectly, but I cannot play media via bluetooth. Meaning, when I try to play music it does not send a signal to the radio.
I made some troubleshooting steps to no avail:
1. The bluetooth Media option is checked under the bluetooth settings.
2. The car stereo works perfectly with my rooted Galaxy S II with Stock ROM 2.3.5 (phone + media)
3. My Note 2 fails to send media signal to my GF's new car Stereo (2013 model). Hence this is NOT an issue of an outdated bluetooth receiver. Again here, the same issue: it connects when making phone calls, but no media playing.
4. I even unpaired all other devices from the stereo to no avail.
I am starting to think it is an issue with the ROM..Is there an app I can download or some patch to fix this, or should I try a different ROM.
It took me 2 days to finally set up everything on my phone and I would hate to have to erase all and start all over.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

[Q] Streaming audio questions? T-Mobile

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.

[Q] Do you have no bluetooth even on Android 5.0.1?

My nexus 7 2013 is not rooted and runs stock Android 5.0.1. Ever since Android 4.3 it does not read any nearby Bluetooth devices (my bluetooth mw600 nor my phone).
Does anybody else have this issue or a way to solve it? I have been searching the web for ages and no such solution was found.

Mine has always worked fine, you might have a hardware issue. The only thing I can suggest is use a factory image to return it to stock and see what happens. If it's still broke, might need to send it in for repairs.

No BT issues for me with Lollipop on neither N7 nor N5. I use them with BT speakers, BT headphones, android wear and a car.

I started to have issues with Bluetooth audio streaming since I got the ota update to 5.0.1

My Bluetooth audio streaming to a UE boom will hang at random on 5.0.1 . I flashed back to 4.4.4 and all is well.

I had not problems yet. But still have not tried 5.*

No streaming metadata while using Bluetooth streaming.

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.
What can be the cause of this, i tested with various settings but nothing really helps.
Someone got ideas where to look to fix this problem? Or how to fix this?

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
