Hi
Anyone know the specifics of the Hero's AVRCP support?
I've got a set of Sony stereo bluetooth headphones with play/pause/skip controls on them. They work fine on the HTC audio player, even when the phone is locked I can control the music.
However i've just signed up to Spotify and installed the app.... the controls don't work at all, however music is played through the headphones. If the HTC music application is running in the background but paused, pressing 'pause' actually starts the HTC music playing instead of pausing Spotify! This is the same as other audio apps like Google Listen, audio comes over Bluetooth but commands are not listened to.
It seems HTC Music is hard-coded to intercept all AVRCP commands, and not pass them on to a more suitable program if one is running. Can this be changed at all?

I listen to alot of podcasts (using either BeyondPod or Pocket Casts), and would like to control playback using headset remote controls - e.g. the play/pause button on a Sony MW-600 bluetooth remote, or the same on a Klipsch S4A headset. The problem is that headset controls like these usually fire up the default media player (PlayerPro in my case), rather than controlling the Podcast player (e.g. BeyondPod).
I could theoretically configure BeyondPod to use the standard Android media player instead of its built-in media player, but then I would lose the enormous benefit of it remembering where I left off when I pause a Podcast at the end of a journey.
Has anyone here worked out a good way of controlling a Podcast player using a headset remote?
Doesn't have PlayerPro an option to disable headset interaction?
In PowerAMP for example you can toggle if you want to handle handset commands or not, giving the chance to be handled by another app.

Yes I've discovered the option in PlayerPro to disable the headset control. Now I can control the volume using the headset controls in BeyondPod, but none of the other buttons are functional (on either the Sony MW-600 or the Klipsch S4A).
Has anyone here managed to get headset playback controls with BeyondPod?
Disconnecting audio controls from default music app
Hi,
I use my bluetooth headset mostly for listening to Audible and Google Listen.
Media controls automatically invoke default music player, and control it. Only volume controls work in other players.
Is there a way to associate a different player with the bluetooth media controls (stop/start/skip)?
I am using hydrog3n ICS on a Galaxy Sii, but I believe this is a generic issue.
I'm currently on Neutrino's v2.5p2 ROM and my phone doesn't allow any application other than the built in music player to stream any audio to my car stereo through bluetooth. I used to hear Tune In radio on a daily basis without any problems with the stock GB roms but ever since I unlocked my phone and started playing with different roms (Ba2tF, Nightly's, Neutrino, Dorian's Red Pill) I've been unable to listen to any streaming audio app through my bluetooth connection. No power AMP, no youtube, not even video audio from the built in media player. I can sometimes hear about 2 seconds from Tune In if I start the app while hearing audio from the music player: the music player audio would stop while the audio from tune-in starts to sound through the car speakers but after about a second and a half the audio gets cut out (but the app screen shows that the audio is still playing). Anyone else has had this issue?
Anyone? anyone?
Canr say i have had this issue cuz i dont use blue tooth for anything but have you checked in the dsp manager and blue tooth settings to see if there is something preventing it? not sure if thats any help buy best of luck.
got the problem solved. I installed Turl's CM9 V9 ROM.
I have a Alpine car deck and a Android phone.
I can confirm that which connected via bluetooth to my car stereo while using the default music player to play music, song tags/information/track is displayed on my car stereo (I am assuming using AVRCP 1.3). However, I have tried poweramp and player pro and they both do not display the music info/tags/etc on my car stereo which is a big minus. Does anyone know if any other music apps on the market (besides the default android music player) will display via bluetooth/avrcp, all the song tag/information/track/etc?
thanks in advance
same problem here

I also use poweramp and player pro, neither of which at this time will display info on car head unit..Latest Rocket player update does however display info. I don't like the interface as well as poweramp or player pro, but you get the features we are looking for like fade, crossfade, and track/artist display on your car unit.
I upgraded my phone to the stock Android Lollipop build using Samsung Kies. I previously had my phone rooted. Everything works great with my phone under the new OS, except for something that I use very frequently - playing my music from my phone in my car over bluetooth. This is a feature I use daily, and now it has been crippled.
When I play music on my phone, connected to my aftermarket car stereo via bluetooth, the song information no longer shows up on my car stereo. Also, when trying to use my controls (face of the head unit, or the steering wheel controls), it does nothing (skipping tracks, etc.).
I am using the stock music player. Any help would be great, or even knowing that this problem exists outside of my phone would also make me feel better.
Having similar issues.
Audio controls work, but track data isn't working. Only samsung/google player are working properly with metadata.
Spotify, Pandora, and Soundcloud are not transfering audio track names at all.
Same here, I have a Kenwood DDX-418 and I can change tracks with the on screen buttons but do not get display. Maybe pull old kit Kat stock player and push to lollipop

Does anyone know of an equalizer app that works over Bluetooth for any Android phone running Android 8 or 9? Is it impossible to write an app that will do it because bluetooth streaming basically always turns the phone into a Preamp and you can only equalize at the streaming endpoint and can't alter the music signal before that? Or are there some phone manufacturers or music player apps that have built-in equalizers that will work over bluetooth? (Specifically I'd like to find one that works on LG Phones [V30/G8], using Google Play Music)
