I am trying to discover whether the Z will have AVRCP 1.4 support, so that it will send music track metadata over the Bluetooth connection?
I asked Sony, but got this reply:

My SGS3 does Bluetooth metadata with no problem, so I wouldn't want to lose this facility...

Bought an Experia Z yesterday to try this out, on the basis that I can return it, if not happy. Very surprised that the Bluetooth Metadata does indeed display using the stock music app, Bluetoothed to my Nissan Leaf audio system. Remote controls work too. Tried the modified Spotify AVRCP app, but unfortunately no track information is displayed. Sony only confirmed AVRCP 1.0, but I think the music app has some extra functionality, so that it can work with the Sony Smartwatch, which does display track info!
HTC One Spotify Bluetooth Metadata works with Nissan Leaf
I have always been disappointed that Android doesn't natively support Bluetooth Data when streaming audio. I therefore tended to stick to Samsung, as they saw fit to include the facility in many of their phones. I just bought an HTC One with the intention of returning it, if I did not get track information sent to my Nissan Leaf car audio display. I am pleased to report that it does work quite well and I am currently using the modified Spotify XDA apk with quite reliable results. I deliberately haven't put any of my own music on the phone, so the car seems to launch Spotify as the default music player.
I've just updated my Xperia Z to 423 and all I can say is that apart from transparency it's absolutely awful! Anyway, I also updated Walkman, Album and Movies apps from Update Center and new Walkman lacks a lot of functions + irritating Music Unlimited banner. I didn't like the new Movies app layout as well.
So the question is - Is it possible to restore the previous versions of those applications and how can I do that?
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE. Found the solution - Settings - Apps - All - Walkman - Uninstall updates
Sorry for the thread, can be closed now.
Hi Guys.
I am quite new to the XDA website, and i have searched high and low for a thread with a solution to what I am looking for.
I I am currently using a Galaxy S4, and I have installed versions of the Walkman App dating back to April/May 2014 that had Music Unlimited integration built in. But because the app was outdated, it would refer me to Update Centre to update the app before I could successfully sign in and use the Music Unlimited Integration. Otherwise the app was working fine.
I have searched the internet high and low for a newer version with working Music Unlimited but i cannot find it anywhere. Everything seems to be the music player itself rather than the Music Unlimited functionality. Has anyone got any suggestions?
Again, this needs to be latest version of the app on either respective Xperia Z phone (i dont really have a preference)
I am currently Un-rooted and on standard Kitkat build for the S4.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Is there a way I can get the default xperia equalizer to work in every music app, including when I play somethig on bluetooth. I was thinking of installing Xaudio but i still don't know if my rom (xperienz kk) is deodexed
Hey
So I took delivery of my new Vauxhall Crossland X with Android Auto yesterday. Its great to have a headunit that will work with android auto. However I have a very annoying issue.
Nav, calls and spotify work without issue. However I have recently switched to google play music. Now the app opens and when you press play the track starts progressing and you can see the time line moving, however no sound is coming through.
If I change to spotify it works without issue and I can listen to music, albeit in a lesser sound quality (in my opinion) .
Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
Appreciate your help.
Best wishes
Andy
AFAIK there's sadly no solution for this yet. I can't post links yet because I'm haven't posted much yet, but if you google for "Play music not working on android auto" you'll find a thread in the Google product forums.
Seems to be a Huawei specific problem...
It most certainly is a Huawei issue for which they have no answer. My issue isn't with Android Auto but the Google play music app is glitchy on my car stereo. The album art is from the first song that played the first time I connected the phone to my car and it hasn't changed since. The native music app and spotify have no such issue. I think it has to do with the lack of integration. The play music app's colour should match the album art in the drop down (since Oreo 8.0) but it's just a big orange box. There's definitely something wrong with Huawei's play music.

Installing equalizer from Play store (equalizer by Smart Android apps) make sure eq is ON, and stays on, skip to next song and now Android Auto works.
But first:
Remove and clear data from Android Auto, reboot
Clear all Bluetooth devices from car, and under system in your car remove Android Play devices.
Clean fresh set-up.

Wow, this finally seemed to fix it. I installed the app and reset the Android Auto settings and it's now working again. Thanks a lot!
I gave up before seeing this last post - I sold my p20 pro and bought a pixel 2 xl - have to say it worked straight away and the sound quality on android auto is better too. Gutted Ive lost the p20 pro camera as that was amazing but its nice to have a clean stock phone again. Lets hope the pixel 3 xl has the 3 camera setup that my p20 pro had.
Do I have to leave equaliser on permanently or just for the initial reset of android auto?

EQ option turns on automatically everytime I open Google music
Same issue with Oneplus 6 and Vivo V9. Apart from plethora of issues this issue is the most annoying.
Other issues- Music stops playing and then suddenly resume from beginning of song, Blank screen, no voice control(it used to work before), Whatapps messages are not read(used to work before)
When you try and send a message through voice does it go "uh, something went wrong"?
