Has anyone gotten the phone to send metadata to their car through bluetooth when using Google Music? It seems to work with the default music app. Is there a way to fix this or work around?
Got the same problem with Spotify and Deezer, though the latter does a better job. When streaming Spotify qua Bluetooth to my car radio (original Volkswagen RCD -510) the radio display is just showing the first streamed track name, the following song's names aren't updated correctly...
Got a Galaxy S6 GM920F on Stock Android 5.0.2
Are you steaming the songs or are they downloaded into the phone already?

Streaming doesn't work with Pandora either. It works from time to time with Milk Music.
works fine for me in both of my late model cars, with Pandora and spotify, and google play music
Has anyone figured out a work around if any possible? Weird thing is that it does show meta data for that samsung demo song the phone comes with when it plays with the default music player.
I get both streaming and downloaded or copied music while using a Kenwood DDX 719 unit.
Pandora or Milk.
Also all my contacts while making or receiving calls.

I use my phone to stream music to my car using BT. Note 3 worked great. So did my one plus one. The note 4 will either show no info or it will show one ong and never update. Im still testing apps but was wondering if this is a phone software problems or does the apps need to be updated to suppoer the note 4?

Mine works fine. I've only used Spotify so far.
I have used the xm app and doubletwist. Going to try Google music next. All these apps worked on my note 3 and one plus one. That's why I asked if the apps need to be updated.
Power Amp/Stock Music Player and Chevy Volt combination works, Power Amp and Honda Odyssey doesn't...haven't tried stock player on the van just yet
I have a 2014 accord.
I get that sometimes on my Note 4 in my BRZ too. This is using Google Play Music. However, the connection is more reliable than my S4 and S5 were, so I'm okay if the song titles don't come over all the time. When I use Pandora, they always update properly.
Hey its good to see someone else having this same issue, I also came from a (rooted) GS4, and everything worked flawlessly through BT, but same as yourself, I have no track info showing up for spotify or tunein radio, like I used to on my s4.
And one other thing, the buttons on my steering wheel that skipped tracks always worked for skipping tracks through anything played through BT on my s4, this no longer works on my note 4.
One other thing I did just want to mention, the track info on the car stereo screen didnt always work, for streaming apps like spotify, that is, until I believe my S4 was updated to 4.3. Never knew why. Track info on players like poweramp just playing track form phone sd card always displayed track info.
me too
Mine does this too but only with google music. Pandora and others work fine.
Pandora also works for me. I will try google music on the way home today.
I had that happen a lot on my Samsung Galaxy S5 too. But only when using Google Play Music.
So I don't think it is a Note specific issue.
Either a 4.4.4 issue (my S5 was on Verizon and on 4.4.4) or a Google Play Music issue.

A lot more people are reporting problems with the Bluetooth and meta data, mine has been doing the same thing since day one. Also its the same with all services, rdio, Spotify, play music, tune in radio, sound cloud. I have tested in 8 cars and on my Sonos and other Bluetooth enabled devices and it's the same. I am starting to believe it's the phone. My S4, S5, and Note 1 and 3 all work without issue.
I wonder if all versions of the Note4 have this problem or if it just the ATT version. If all are having this problem then maybe samsung needs to send out and update to fix this.
Mine doesn't have this issue. In my 2012 Ford Focus with Sync, Metadata works perfectly with the stock music player and Play Music.
I used Bluetooth in my car yesterday with 3 different apps. The meta data worked 100% correctly all day.
The new version of Play Music I downloaded yesterday must have had some fixes in it, because Monday that particular app was screwing up the meta data constantly.

Maybe its a problem with my car radio. Only app that works for me still is pandora. I may need to see if there is and firmware upgrade for my cars radio. 2014 Accord Ex
Just realized on my note 4 I can't skip songs or rewind when I am connected to my alpine stereo. I had no issues with my note 3, s3, and even friends iPhones.
This phine has sooo many glitches it's driving me crazy! Also who decided to put the speaker on the back instead of the bottom! So now I can't hear ringtones or music unless my phone is speaker side up. Argh...I think this is going back and I'm staying with my note 3 until the note 5 I guess.
Resolved by updating the firmware on alpine using mac since my PC laptop wouldn't cooperate. More info below...
Weird man mines been working okay on my kenwood BT it just has random song lag. My meta data was coming up though. What app are you using to play music? Im using poweramp
I'm using Google music and if i play an album the data displayed stays as the first songs name but the time works. if its a random playlist the song names update normally. weird
I am using Google music but also tried Samsung music player same thing, couldn't skip. I also tried friends note 4 with spotifa and also didn't skip. Argh. Moved back to my note 3 until an update comes out to fix it or I might sell it and get nexus 6, this is a huge problem.
use Power Amp. the stock apps suck.
Solid Explorer for files, QuickPic for pics, Nova for launcher, MX Player for videos, and you'll figure out your own preferences from there. iphone to Android must be foreign experience stepping out of the walled garden. we've all been there.

I am using Google play music, power amp doesn't stream music and can't read the downloaded Google files. It's just a glitch in the note 4 software
Just wanted to update.... after installing the firmware update for alpine stereos, my note was able to work fine with the stereo, song info shows up and I can skip and fast forward again.

But funny enough my pc laptop would not display the file browser for doing the update but on my MacBook, there was an option to browse files which allowed me to do the update.kinda funny since I am a PC person and bought the mac on a whim and it saved my butt with this update!

It must be nice to have a head unit that the manufacturer hasn't forgotten that it once made. Pioneer tends to drop support for units it's no longer selling.
This issue doesn't seem to have any real logic to it. While my Note pairs with the Pioneer and the steering controls work fine, there's no metadata displayed. Paired to my sister in law's 2013 Enclave, everything works. In my brother's 2014 Lacrosse, it works the same as on my Pioneer... pairing and steering wheel controls with no metadata.
I've read that there are a bunch of changes in how Lollipop handles Bluetooth. I hope the fix lies there.
From what I know..the note 4 uses a newer version of bluetooth, 1.4 or something like that. The note 3 uses 1.3. That update I installed on my stereo had 1.4 support so that's why it worked. I don't think an update to the phone will fix it, the stereo needs the update
Does "streaming" music from Play Music via USB work with Pixel(Nougat)? I"m not talking about playing stored music.
This works with iPhone, but never worked with Android phones.
I followed the Forum Rules and searched but can't find anything on what surely must be a very frequently asked question.
I got a 3-month free trial of Google Play Music. Works fine on my phone so bought a chromecast audio and connected to amp+speakers, now I can cast and streamed music works as expected. BUT having unplugged my local media player I can no longer listen to my local media.
It's inconvenient having to plug and unplug all the time. How do I hack the chromecast audio device to stream from local machines as well as from Google Play Music?

It will stream a PC's audio to chromecast
The easiest solution if probably just to upload your music to Google Play Music. This will also allow you to initiate playback using a Google Home if you ever buy one.
it doesn't support directly playing local tracks, it requires uploading music to your library for playback.

yea even i had that problem later i figured out.
The answer is in the first reply. Go read the thread on Bubble UPNP.
What works and what doesnt (iOS 13) ?
1) Does is support app notifications?
2) Does it have health data sync?
3) Will it continuously display the current song playing on my phone? Can I use the watch to go back / forward a track?
4) Does it support pairing directly to bluetooth headphones and spotify premium (offline) music if I want to leave away from the gym?
5) Is there anyway to transfer MP3's using Windows or MacOS for offline listening if it doesn't support spotify premium if I want to leave the phone away from the gym?
6) Does it pair to the phone via bluetooth or wifi? Does it need a companion app running in background 24/7?
Anything to be aware about?

Hauwei site is lacking
Unfortunately, Spotify doesn’t offer its service to Huawei GT 2. Thus, you cannot listen to Spotify music on Huawei GT 2 now. The best method to get Huawei GT 2 Spotify is to download offline Spotify music tracks. With the Premium account, you can download Spotify music but your Spotify music are cache files.you can transfer Spotify to MP3 by using the Tunelf Spotify Music Converter which can download music from Spotify to MP3 and save Spotify music with the original audio quality. To transfer Spotify songs to Huawei GT 2, you need to move those converted Spotify music files to your phone first. Just connect your phone to your computer for uploading Spotify songs. Then import Spotify songs to Huawei GT 2 from your phone.
