[BT] Track Info Display - Nexus 7 Accessories

Halo guys, I guess there are lots of Nexus users here own a bluetooth headset.
After updating to 4.2.1, anyone successfully display the track info on the headset?
I have a smart wireless headset pro and tried with few roms and no luck.
I am wondering if this a rom issue? Anyone with a success can share your rom(kernel) on your Nexus and the bluetooth headset you have got?
Thanks.
Cheers,
L

What you are looking for is AVRCP 1.3 which is not supported by Google yet. So even if you have support for it in the ROM (cm supports it) you will still need a modified version of Pandora, Google play etc or find an app that does support it.
Your headset is the 3rd piece of the puzzle. Hope this helps

Thx buddy, I have done some Google work about AVRCp also.
Another interesting thing is I successfully display the Track Info once, but it failed again after i reboot my headset
For the reconnect issun, I get a App from Play store and solved the problem. It seems that bluetooth is buggy in Jellybean, much better in Gingerbread.

Skips - Bluetooth Streaming Audio

Streaming audio with Bluetooth to the Sync Audio system in my Ford Fusion, I get periodic skips. Seems to occur when other things are happing in background. When I use audio cable there are no skips.
Seems like a problem with Bluetooth process priority in process stream. Anyone know if there is more then one Bluetooth standard?
I like bring able to get into car and have my paused Bluetooth streaming audio restart. Don't want to bother with cable when running errends in my car.

I was having the same problems with sync in my mustang, Im rooted, and installed shift3r 2.3 (on droidforums.net) and now its virtually flawless.
2011 Explorer w/ SYNC here, not getting any skips w/ Bluetooth audio. Just did an 36hr road trip from FL to MI and back and didn't have any issues. Stock unrooted Bionic.

It's an issue with the way bionic processes A2DP.
Not all A2DP devices are the same.
It's not that the bionic's Bluetooth is flawed. It's that Motorola did not make it compatible with certain A2DP device profiles.
Ironicly, the A2DP in the Bionic is compatible with all the Motorola A2DP devices.
...coincidence, I think not.
A lot of the newer Bluetooth devices are compatible with the bionic and don't have problems.
That's the short answer.

Not sure what droidth3ory did for shift3r 2.3.1, but like I said, my bluetooth has been amazing since using it.

[Q] Does HTC One support AVRHCP v1.3

Hi All,
Can anyone confirm if the One supports AVRCP v1.3 or above?
Ie when paired with a compatible BT device such as in car head unit, does it show track information?
I currently have a One X and it does not with all Sense ROMs which is really annoying.
Thanks
Has anyone with a BT equipped car streamed music from their HTC One?
Can you please let me know if you get the track/artist info on the head unit or just 'BT Audio'?
Did you ever find an answer to this? I just asked the same thing...
Has anybody tried to connect an HTC One to a car bluetooth stereo to see if you get artist and song info on the screen?
Sent from my SGH-T879 using xda premium
I've connected my one to my Bluetooth headunit. I've only used it with deezer though as I don't use stock music. It does show some information using feeder so don't see why it wouldn't with stock player as the Bluetooth stack obviously supports it. I'll try it with stock next time I'm in my car and let you know.

Anybody has had any luck getting artist and song info when connecting the One thru bluetooth to a car stereo?? Any info will be appreciatted.

Jeez man!!!, nobody in this forum has been able to check this feature??? Come on!! somebody help your fellow android user.

Sorry for the late reply. Checked this the other day and can confirm this definitely works on stock music player. Shows artist, album and track name on my Sony Bluetooth headunit.

It's very spontaneous, but it works. I'm using the stock player and I often get full info and skipping control. Occasionally it doesn't display anything, or it won't update, but I believe that's because of Android.
This mostly has to do with the kernel, not the specific phone itself
I ended up getting the One. V happy.
Yes track info is displayed with stock music player.
Annoyingly, Pandora shows the title of the first track that is on the phone rather than what it is playing...
Yes I know that the kernel is responsible for the bt profile that the phone supports but with my one x HTC decided to use a proprietary bt stack rather than the android provided one resulting in this feature not working

Apps I've found so far using my One that support AVRCP 1.3/song metadata: HTC Music app, Google Play Music, XiiaLive Pro. (Was really stoked to see support with XiiaLive Pro)! :good:
So awesome to finally have a decent Android phone right OOB that supports this feature!

[REQUEST] HTC CAR app with google play music support)

Hi everyone,
I have a request if any developer is willing to do it (I would try if only i was skilled enough...)
I am using the HTC car app a LOT, used to have carhome but I find the native HTC app home much more responsive and intuitive...
Plus I love sense Thing is, I noticed the music widget only works with the HTC music app.
I would like to be able to listen to my online music collection with google play music, and be able to control the player with the widget on the Car app home... Would it be possible? Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks!
This would be great!
Also interested, and very interesting would be a mirrorlink support for htc CAR App!

I found a couple of posts or articles on the internet about people who would like this feature (apparently it was possible on sense 4) but nothing specific on how to achieve this on sense 5. Any help or advice if I throw myself in this quest?

I'm curious as well. I wonder if the galaxy S5 has the same issue. If miracast works on the S5, then it could be addressed in a ROM update
lg g2 doesn't have the issue...

come on people. seriously?! XDA can solve the complex "where is my power button" issue, or the "how do I run an app" problem, but it can't help me with a miracast issue? a feature standard in all kitkat androids?
who has a solution or idea? or where can I find a real android forum

I'm also having this problem on an HTC One m7 but it works just fine on an LG 8.3 v500.
Really interested in a possible solution. I've tried various HDCP settings to no avail. Does it have anything to do with HDCP?
What roms have you tried? What kernels? What miracast dongles?
Roms:
viper 6.2.1
slimrom 4.4
Kernels:
stock viper
stock slimrom
I ordered the offical HTC Media Link HD H200 to try out so we'll see how that works.
So far the Belkin ~$50 one doesn't work (HDMI 2.0) returned and can't remember the model. FD something maybe.
Also might be worth trying this (I haven't yet): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952221&postcount=722
Stock and gpe. Stock 1.651.10 didn't display netflix even though everything else works, gpe 4.4.4 didn't connect to miracast at all. I have the netgear push2tv and my old lg g2 had no problem casting netflix it's just this phone
I've yet to try with 2.x.x.x my miracast dongle is with the rest of my household goods getting speed at the moment
Also what they talk about in that link doesn't seem relevant

The link is partially about DRM from my understanding but yeah I think if its showing on your phone at all, it's not a DRM issue.
Sigh... HTC Media Link HD was a waste of time - couldn't get it to connect at all. Chromecast works perfectly however.
Ordered 2 other miracast dongles to try out but likely won't matter since it's something with the phone.
According to this: http://iezcast.com/bbs-en/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=862 - a firmware update to a dongle seems to have fixed the issue for a nexus 7 user.

HTC Media Link won't show picture from netflix while streaming now since I've updated the os.
Just wanted to add to this a little. I'm seeing the exact same thing on a verizon M8 with the push2TV miracast adapter, and with the miracast functionality built into a samsung TV. Seems like the problem is likely on our end.
Submit a ticket to HTC. Anyone having this problem should.
Any update on this? I modified the build.prop to get miracast working on my Nexus 6, but Netflix still displays a black screen with audio using my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. It works fine on a friends Note 4. What's up?

Had the same problem, if this answer is not too late, found my solution, video plays again from my Sprint HTC One m7 and have another download link for a mod on Netflix's app, raising the bitrate tremendously!!!!

Hope this posts, having hangup issues with xda site 4 some reason.

yes
manually Boot an older version of Netflix, turn off auto updates.
I have the same problem with win10 tablet, win 10 laptop, redmi note 2, 3, ulefone power, Samsung galaxy Tab 3 and every other device I could find to miracast Netflix. Everything is ok untill I press play, then...black screen, sound and subs.
I guess it has something to do with Netflix.

CM12 Compatibility

Hi, I am thinking of getting a pebble, however I have concerns about compatibility, I have an s3 mini (i8190n) running CM12, I also flashed something called Gapps? I dont know if this will affect compatibility, thank you for your responses
Gapps is just a phrase for the Google apps, like the play store and Google search and such. As long as cm12 for your device has working Bluetooth I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Thanks for the response however I have heard from some that CM12 has problems with Pebble on some devices
Nah, Mine's fine. I'm running a latest CM12.1 and that works quite well.
Hi, also confirm that mine is running fine (S4 with cm12.1 and Pebble steel)
Mine's fine too. Cm12.1 with notification center.
I have used the pebble quite successfully on a Oneplus one with both oxygenos and cm12.1 unofficial. I have 6 to 8 loaded apps all the time. Including navme, music boss and ESPN. All work. Thank you.
