Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) is not working on any app. i tried it with my headphones to play/pause and skip a song and nothing. same thing on my car. so its definitely the phone causing the problem. anyone else?
Same here - tried two different devices. No play / pause.
OK, it looks like Google Music has a strangle hold on AVRCP. It works in that app (which I don't use) and nowhere else.
This is one of the reasons I ditched Google Music on my last device. The minute you install it, no other app works with AVRCP.
I tried disabling it in Applications (I am running stock w/o unlock or root ATM), but that does no good. Also tried re-enabling and FC, but again, no joy.
Hopefully someone more skilled that I has a suggestion...
EDIT - there don't appear to be any settings in Google Music to turn off their control. Tried a couple apps in the market like Headset Interceptor, but they did not help.
no google music isnt the problem. it doesnt work on any app. plus on my old phone google music didnt cause any problems and worked just fine.

Hmm... I guess we have two different problems.
On my GNEX, AVRCP (I only care about playing and pausing via BT) works on Google Music, and nothing else.
On my old DINC, I had AVRCP working until I installed Google Music (only change I made), at which point all my other apps' AVRCP capabilities stopped working (Audible, Subsonic, etc.). I then uninstalled Google Music (again, the only change I made), and my AVRCP started working again.
To me, that experience makes it pretty clear that Google Music was causing me grief on my old device, and is mysteriously the only thing that works with this feature on my new device.
Like I said, maybe you have something else going on.
so noone else has this problem?
Try Power Amp
The Power Amp player seems to work on my Senheisser MM450 BT Headphones
I have the same issue.
AVRCP on my bluetooth headset (Plantronics BackBeat 903+) stopped working when I started using Galaxy Nexus.
On my old phone I was using BeyondPod and Player Pro with my headset and play/pause worked from the headset. Now, I cannot stop or play music in those apps.
I can confirm that this has something to do with Google Music.
I found that if I start Google Music then AVRCP works with the headset. If then I go and start Player Pro, the AVRCP stops working, and pushing play/pause button does nothing. Then, when I go back to Goolge Music, everything works fine once again.
So existence of Google Music somehow hampers the ability of other apps to claim bluetooth headset remote control fully. They claim it partially, because Google Music is not starting music on pushing play button, but the player does not start music as well.
Spotify on Nexus S stopped responding to BT Play/Pause after ICS update
I am encountering the same issue after updating my Nexus S to Ice Cream Sandwich via an OTA update.
Using Seinnheser MM450s, I was previously able to fully control Spotify (Play/Pause/Next/Previous). However since updating to ICS, only Next/Previous work. The main button (Play/Pause) has no effect.
However, when I launch the factory Music app, it responds to all controls.
To try and 'debug' the issue, I downloaded a trial of "Headset Droid" app, and used its BlueTooth command monitor debugging facility. As expected, it correctly intercepted and confirmed the Next/Previous button pushes, however failed to acknowledge the Play/Pause functionality.
Has a bug report been filed regarding this issue? Can anyone suggest a workaround?
Thanks - Anj
I have the same issue. Previously - my Nexus One running stock/unrooted 2.3.6 worked perfectly for play/pause/next/previous/start|end call on cheap Chinese Bluetooth headphones. Been using them for weeks with Subsonic, flawlessly.
Moved to Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.1 (apparently .2 hasn't rolled for my geography yet) - same headphones, only next/previous/start|end call work. Play/Pause does nothing in either state, whether I am in Subsonic or not. Haven't tried Music yet as I never use it (lets face it, its of limited value outside the US!).
But I did notice that if I press and hold for quite a while, the play/pause button, it seems to stop the music in some way that isn't quite pause, but nothing else works after that, you have to manually restart it from the app.
(anecdotally, I have the unsubstantiated feeling that some/all system sounds are not piped to the headphones as effectively as Gingerbread. But I haven't tested this yet)
Finally, I note I have occasionally used these headphones on my Honeycomb tablet - Asus Transformer, 3.2.1(?) and it behaves the same as the Nexus One, not the Galaxy Nexus so this is definitely an ICS issue.
I have reported this fault on code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23172 - please add to the comments so that it gathers momentum as an important issue.
I hate to post a me-too, but me too :-(
I'm using doggcatcher on a rooted verizon galaxy nexus on the stock 4.0.2 firmware. My headphones are a sony MW600. Play/pause/ffw/rew don't work in doggcatcher.
I started up google music and went through the setup wizard. the AVRCP buttons work for google music only. Enabling/disabling doggcatcher's "bind to headset forcefully" option has no effect.
I used Titanium Backup to make a backup of Google Music, and then uninstall it. Now Doggcatcher responds to AVRCP button-presses. Anyone else want to give it a try?
Thanks daoist,
Can you confirm that you have to be root to use that particular functionality of Titanium Backup?
Thanks again - Anj
Interesting. Now it seems like google music and Pandora both respond to it. But google listen does not.

I'm having the same issues with my Galaxy Nexus as well. I starred the link mentioned above. I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Pro HD and none of my music controls work. I also can't tap the call button to engage a voice search or anything. I hope Google fixes this sometime soon...This makes my headset quite a bit less useful...
I can confirm the issue on my Gnex LTE running 4.0.2. Google Music works fine. I don't know why, but Doggcatcher is also working fine (Play/Pause works). I noticed that there is a setting in Doggcatcher for "bind to headset" and "start application" - both of which are checked on mine, so maybe that's why it's working.
However, both Pandora and Mog are not working with Play/Pause and there are no headset options in the app settings. So either 1) apps just need to be updated for ICS, or 2) something is amiss in ICS that prevents other apps from using the headset controls. Most likely the latter...
Apparently the developers of Media Button Router have "fixed" this issue.

I can confirm that after installing Media Button Router and configuring to send all BT commands to Spotify - I no longer have the Play/Pause problem.

that works but EVERY time i hit the play/pause button on my mw600 the prompt comes up, freaking annoying, can we have the app that just does the play pause, i dont wnat it to come up asking me what to play pause.
Sorry to revive but i've got an in-car bluetooth and the AVRCP doesn't seem to work with ICS either.. the first time I click play and the first time I click "next track" on the car after the phone connects, the phone will respond correctly, but will not respond to any subsequent buttons until I press the power button on my phone... It's almost like ICS is sitting on all the commands sent to it's AVRCP like a stack, and when I power the phone (either on or into standby), the next click is executed (without any clicks on the car at the time)..
eg: if I hit "Next" twice and "Rew" once on my car, then every time I tap the power button (between on and sleep), it would execute Next, Next and Rew in that order. I have a lock pattern on my phone too, not sure if that's hampering the AVRCP commands either... only way to get out of this is to turn the BT off on the GNEX then on again.. but it does the same thing after the first succesful AVRCP command again.
Hi All,
I've noticed that when I'm listening to music or podcasts (via Rocket Player, Pocket Casts, etc. ) over bluetooth in my car, I cannot hear any notifications. The music/audio pauses briefly to play the notification sound, but no sound is heard. The same happens with turn by turn directions via Here Maps (haven't tried Google Maps yet, but I suspect the same issue would occur). Has anyone else run in to this issue?
Try the latest update released today: "Force output to be primary output when using BT_SCO."
Still the same issue even after the update, unfortunately.

Just thought I'd follow up on this in case anyone else is having this problem. For whatever reason bluetooth notification randomly started working for me a few days ago. No rhyme or reason, but I'm glad it's working now.
I think I need to roll back/reset (or whatever it's called) my Swift, since this last Crackling update thing I have the following issues:
1) The Visualiser on the music player only works when it feels like it on the lock screen
2) I can't delete individual call logs, I can only wipe the lot
3) when some people text me, it doesn't play the text sound or notify me in any way, not even the notification light
4) switches off when I play music on the music player (I use Onkyo HF Player - free version)
All this worked fine before this latest update, is there any way to fix these issues in settings? if not, how do I do a "system recovery/factory reset" ... sorry for my lack of tech ability, I'm ok on a PC but phones are not my thing .... any help would be very much appreciated!
Hi,
I can't comment on your points 1 and 4, but:
2) I didn't notice this - doesn't bother me too much, but indeed I can't find out how to delete single calls from my call log
3) I don't see this issue. My phone makes a sound and vibrates when I get a text message.
I don't think you can roll back to the previous update, but a factory reset is:
Settings > about this phone > backup and reset > reset to factory settings (my phone is not set up in english, so I translated the texts I see - but I think you should be able to find it this way )
Hi, for the 1st issue I have noticed that the visualiser works perfectly with Google Play Music but doesn't work at all with SoundCloud. Might have something to do with the music player you are using.
I haven't tried Onkyo HF Player to check how it works with the Swift yet. I will give it a try over the weekend.
Hello,
I have a Motorola Moto G3 ('Osprey') and have installed Lineage OS on it (currently on 14.1-20170413-NIGHTLY-osprey). The new OS is great but I cast to a couple of Chromecast Audio devices fairly often and have noticed the following changes since installing Lineage;
- Previously it was possible to adjust the volume of the music playing from Google Play Music to a Chromecast Audio with the screen turned off by rocking the volume rocker on the 'phone. Now the screen has to be on (i.e. it's necessary to press the on/off button before the volume rocker.)
- Previously it was possible to 'take over' a Chromecast Audio session from another Android device; by opening up Google Play Music and casting to the devices that are running the playlist and the song that is playing would appear. Now this is not possible.
The 'phone was running the standard Android Lollipop before I installed Lineage. Is it possible to regain the functionality that I had before? I don't know whether it's relevant but I installed open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20170326 and the 'phone is rooted.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Bit more detail on item 2 above; if there is music playing from another 'phone on a Chromecast Audio then it possible to see what is happening from my 'phone, you can pause the music and mute it but can't do anything else. Previously it was possible to take over the session and control it in the same way as if you had initiated it.
Hi,
For several months, I have used my three Chromecast Audio units, in a multi room setup. It has been working flawless, but without changing anything in my network, suddenly the multicast feature stopped working. When I select to cast to the multi room group, only one of the devices connects, let's call it "Living room", and plays music. If I take that device out of the group, only one of the remaining devices connects, "Bed room", and plays music. If I take that out of the group, the last device, "Kitchen", starts to play. If I the select all three devices again, still only the "Living room" device starts to play, and the other two don't play music - yet still gives me a sound if I select one of them, and adjust the volume...
I have tried to reset every device and rerun the setup procedure, but it doesn't make any difference. I'm running the Google Home app, version 1.26.30.8. on my Samsung S8 with Android 7.0.
Does anyone have an idea, to solve my problem?
Thanks in advance.

Do factory default and then try
Another option is update System Operative
