Hi all,
sorry for my first post being such a gloomy one but after sending them an email asking for a bluetooth stack upgrade I got the following response I thought I should share. (Please note the second paragraph, bold part)
----------
Good Morning,
Thankyou for your email,
There are no plans to upgrade the bluetooth stack on the XDAIIi. We have just released the latest ROM upgrade for the XDAIIi, and this is likely to be the last. It is available to download from www.o2.co.uk/xda
The Xda IIi has the ability to play mono system sounds through some Bluetooth headsets. The method to put the device into 'system sounds' mode will vary depending on headset, however usually a quick press of the Call button on the Bluetooth headset will activate it. When 'system sound' mode is activated the headset icon on the top of the Xda IIi screen will change slightly. See pictures below.
headset mode
headset + mono system sounds mode
There are some stereo Bluetooth headsets are the market that are for listening to MP3's. The Xda IIi Bluetooth stack made by Broadcom is not compatible with these. Only basic mono sounds are possible via some bluetooth headsets.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if further assistance is required,
Regards

O2 Data Support
----------
I'm now annoyed on quite a few fronts:
1. Bluetooth, I know there is a newer version out there that supports my HT820s and its just that O2 can't be bothered to do anything about it.
2. Radio version, again out of date and I know it is quite possible for them to provide a later version but it seems they won't.
3. WM5, although I guess we already knew it this would imply no intention to provide an upgrade at all.
So in summary, it's all crap!
BTW. Anyone out there who can help me get the bluetooth stack sorted so it can support "High quality audio" preferably with the remote control functions enabled as well?
Thanks,
David
Hello,
Today I installed the SONY XAV-AX100. Super. Everything works quite smoothly. I just have a problem with calling through android car. If someone calls me or call me and I connected via android car, so the call does not appear on the radio display only phone which is useless.
When I tested the Nexus 4 with Android CyanogenMod v6, it works well.
Some idea?

Firstly double check your bluetooth settings for that device and make sure all the sliders related to phone calls and Bluetooth audio are enabled, if that doesn't work - try a variation of making your head unit connect to the device and vice versa.
I have a 2014 passat and the Bluetooth works perfectly when connected, first connection on car start is a bit pissy because my smartwatch initially demands all Bluetooth, manually connecting to the VW Phone in Bluetooth just reconnects both devices and it works fine for calling, music and voice control.
If these tips don't work, It might sadly be a lack of support within the head unit itself (some are very picky)
@stevob21
You don't have AA and don't understand the problem, so why did you respond? It's not BT related issue.
@matata86
I have the same problem. AA has all needed permissions, but calls still not show on the unit. Interesting is that with my previous phone, P9 - it was working as long phone has Android 6.0. After update to 7.0 - it has stopped working. So it has to be related with Huawei's 7.0 phone manager. Someone with root access should try to freeze phone manager and check it...

Yeah apologies, I must have got this mixed with another thread I was looking at when writing this related to BT issues when connecting where phone calls/address books aren't operable though they work fine after manually initiating the connection.
Same problem here. I can make calls with "ok google, call John Smith" but the notification doesn't show in order for me to end the call. I can end the call from the phone but usually rely on the other party to end the call from their phone.
Text messaging has similar behavior. I can send text messages from AA using voice commands but cannot receive them on screen nor are they read back to me. Again, they do show up on the phone.
All notifications are allowed for the phone and messaging apps. I've also set the battery manager to NOT turn off those apps to save power during screen off. I've tried other phone apps, though I didn't think this should matter but why not try
The deck is a JVC KW-V930BW and the phone is a P10 plus. All other Android Auto features seem to function correctly. I read in a forum for some other phone brand that exhibits the same behavior that it is due to some security feature in that phone and cannot be changed. I wonder if that is the case with the P10 plus?
Anyone else run into this or have a fix? Thanks all!
PS: not interested in rooting.
follow-up
From a thread in another forum, this appears to be an android auto/huawei compatibility issue that they're working on. A recent update seems to have fixed an sms issue so now text messages are read back to me. Regarding the phone notifications, I've mounted the phone using a magnetic vent mount close the steering wheel so I can end calls easily from the phone itself. I'm going to call that "good enough"
It seems to working now with B171, at least in my A6 from 2015 with the latest MMI-Update.

All of a sudden mine is working too, though still on B170. The only thing that changed that I can recall is I updated Google Messages and was prompted whether I wanted to make it my default messaging app to which I agreed.
I have just got my P20 Pro, it seems like a great phone so far, but I have one nagging issue.
When I connect my phone to my car's (2015 BMW 3 Series) Bluetooth the now playing metadata of the audio being played is not being passed correctly. So if I play audio from Google Play Music or Pocketcasts the head unit on my car will show either Unknown Track or the track data of the first item on the album or the playlist. The audio itself sounds fine and I am able to skip tracks, select new albums from the car's controls, so it seems some information is being passed correctly, it is just that the info of the track that is currently playing seems to not be working.
Has anyone else encountered this?
At this point I have to assume it is the phone, as my Galaxy S6, S7 & S8's all worked, but I guess it is technically possible that could have been a workaround put in by BMW as they were such popular phones. Hopefully Huawei will sort this out, it may be an underlying Oreo issue as threads like this suggest that Bluetooth issues were around when 8.0 launched https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/E9Q2lyFYRgI
I have done some more digging on this issue and I suspect that is might be something to do with the Bluetooth AVRCP version that the phone is using. Normally in Android (since 8.0) you could adjust the AVRCP version from within Developer Options, but for some reason this is not available on this phone. My Galaxy S8 was using AVRCP 1.4, so I suspect that this phone is using 1.5 or 1.6 and my car does not like it.
I have emailed Huawei to ask for clarification. At this point it is the only real issue I have with the phone, but it will annoy me if it isn't resolved quickly. I'm going to pester BMW too to see what versions of AVRCP they officially support.
Don't have these issues in the car, head display current track etc via Bluetooth ... Use this in a Nissan
Everything works as it should with my Pioneer headunit using Spotify
I just posted something related (possibly) in the RAM/Battery Management thread - I have issues with the Audi MMI Connect app, losing connectivity and so on.....does seem that the P20 Pro handles Bluetooth (no rsap?) and background process management quite differently to my previous phone (Galaxy S8+)....also hoping quick resolution, as love the phone!
Search facility not working in car
Hi
I've just put music onto my P20 pro and it plays fine on the device and the car, however, I can't use the search facility on the car (BMW, 3 series, 2017) to change track. I can do this on the phone. Any suggestions? I put the music onto the 'Music' app (dragged and dropped from my iTunes folder- don't know if this is relevant. Any help would be greatly appreciated as without being able to use the car's search facility and come in and out of albums/ artists is useless. Should I have put the music into somewhere else?

P20 PRO and BMW - bluetooth issue
Bojanglez, did you find a solution? I got the same issue with P20 PRO and BMW X4... so it seems a problem linked to that phone connected to the BMW multimedia system.
With my previous phone, an ASUS Zenfone, everything was fine.
It may be a BMW issue to, maby P20 pro isn't compatible with BMW or Audi. I know that some manufacturers put all in to be compatible with ios and some larger manufacturers of phones. It could be that car manufacturers don't test Huawei phones and don't support them.

No Huawei Garbage bloatware issue, my is random something is normal, most times it plays music but gets stuck on providing music playing info.
Same issue here with my 2016 Toyota rav4. It plays the first track and shows the metadata but then as the tracks keep playing the metada remains the one of the first song. Definitely an issue with Huawei. Their music player works just fine. I think it has to do with the poor Google integration and their need to force that half baked apple wanna be emui down our throats. It should be Oreo but looks and feels like gingerbread.
Hi all, I have an update. I have resolved the issue, but not quite sure which of the following specifically fixed it.
Huawei software update
Renamed by phone in Bluetooth settings
Updated to the latest BMW firmware (from their site)
Messed with some of the Bluetooth settings in Developer Options on the phone
Unfortunately I did all these at pretty much the same time so I can't say for certain which one fixed it, I think it was the Huawei software update as after I updated my BMW firmware I still had the same issue and also in other BMWs I tried. I also noticed that the Bluetooth was dropping constantly in my wife's Puegeot 3008 so that's why I played with the Developer Options. For anyone interested I havethe following now set:
Codec: SBC
sample rate: 44.1khz
channel mode: Stereo
LDAC playback quality: 990kbps/909kbps (optimised for connectivity quality)
HWA playback quality: Best effort (400KB Optimised for connectivity)
HWA Latency: 50-100ms
So I now have track information and basic controls using Google Play Music and Pocketcasts. It does not seem to like letting me browse my library though, but it is at least functional.
Also I changed my car, this was not because the BT didn't work It worked in my 2015 3 series before I changed it. I now have a 2018 4 series and the behaviour is the same, track listing and skip functionality but no browsing.
I have installed the most recent firmware update on my 2 Series 2017, I see two fundamental issues. One is, by using your phone normally, no issues should arise most of the time but still random sync issues with metadata can occur. The second issue is, no matter how good your phone behave and how well synchronized the metadata is, once you open Android Auto app, everything goes to hell and you are back in square one.
To fix it, you should deactivate auto start when connected in the app (or not using it at all), erase your car from devices in bluetooth config within your phone. Erase your phone from the list in your car. Change the phone name. Start over with the synching process. Check for correct metadata in the car. If not working repeat. That should fix the problem eventually.
If you like very Android Auto very much, get used to see the songs information in your phone screen rather than the car.
I am also having the same problem, Huawei P20 Pro and Sony XAV-601BT head unit. I've tried enabling all the permissions in Spotify, cycling the connections, renaming the phone.
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. anyone else here having similar issue??
Hi,
I have a problem with my phone that started today.
The problem is that whenever I connect my Note 8 (N950F) to my Plantronics BT headset then the sounds from the phones speaker dissapears.
For example:
When I get a text message, it only sounds on the speaker of the BT headset.
This also happens when the phone is connected to wired headphones.
This used to work earlier. I didnt have this problem on Android 8 (Oreo). I didnt have the problem even when updating to Android 9 (Pie). This started when I today decided to factory reset my phone.
When it was working I could hear the sound from my phones speaker and also from my Bluetooth headset!
I have found a website where several users is having the same issue on different phones:
https:// us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/No-text-message-sound-when-Bluetooth-headset-is-connected/td-p/463471
(PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ADDRESS ABOVE HAS A SPACE BETWEEN "https://" AND THE REST OF THE ADDRESS)
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? Or any idea what to try?
Why do you want your phone to make noise when you have your headset on??
Anyway, I think that through Advanced Sound Settings you can designate apps to send there sound to phone.

Because this is how the device normally works and is intended to work.
But I can give you an example:
Say that I have my Plantronics BT Headset connected to my phone and I´m not wearing it at the moment when I get an SMS, E-mail or something else that generates a notification sound. If the phone doesnt make any sound then I´ll miss that/these notifications. This also applies for any 3,5 mm wired devices that are connected to my phone.
This has always worked fine before on Android 8 (Oreo) and worked also fine on Android 9 (Pie) until yesterday when I made a factory reset on my Note 8.
I first believed that something was wrong with my phone, but now I know that there are several other user with the exact same issue. And this is not only an issue for Note 8, there are other users with S9 and S10 with the same problem.
I have tried the Advanced Sound settings you mentioned above, it doesnt work either!
Clear bluetooth settings, will delete all devices and reset bluetooth connections.
In All Apps, show System and find bluetooth or and bluetooth share, delete cache and data, reboot.
Note the on android pie there is issues with the bluetooth codecs and still no patch from sammy.

Tried it!
It didnt help ...
This is not just a Bluetooth issue, the same thing happens when I connect wired headphones to my phones 3,5mm jack
There is also a setting in Soundassistant App, advanced setting to direct the notification sounds and ringtones to headphones. Do you have that setting unchecked?
On my N950U1 running Pie beta #3 it all works as expected...
It's unchecked

I figured out a fix!!!
Go to Settings>Sounds and Vibrations>Advanced Sound Settings>Seperate App Sound
Turn the switch to the "On" position
Click on "App" and choose your messenger app and any other app you want to be heard through the phone.
Backup to the previous screen and press "Audio Device"
Choose "Phone"
You should be all set. You will now play your message/ phone sounds through your phone without losing audio through your Bluetooth device!
So I got the phone and I'm trying to use the handfree Bluetooth in the car. I have connected the phone, and Spotify works flawlessly, but when I try to make a phone call it disconnects the car audio then goes to spraker/regular mode. I have tried to clear my Bluetooth app cache with no success. Do I have to sideload a new codec for the Bluetooth for it to stay connected to the car when making phone calls.
I'm running Pie 9, February 15th 2019 Update
Build number - P-mr1-rc003-rzr-190305.3110
I have searched but can't seem to find anything with the same issues as me, if come one could kindly point me at the right direction that would be great.
Having something similar.
My Wifes RP2 connects to an ATOTO A6 Pro headset, but when her phone rings it doesn't appear on the head unit, and we can't accept calls. you can initiate a call from the head unit, but it doesn't know the call is happening, so you can't drop the call. Been hoping Android 10 is coming soon, so I can upgrade her and test again.
My Huawei Mate 10 Pro works perfectly with the head unit, so I think this is RP2 related.
Did you find anything that helped you?
I'm having the exact same problem with my Razer Phone 2.
What car do you have? It's a 2015 Kia Soul for me.
