[Q] BT-audio / No AVRCP 1.3 support? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi Guys!
Is it right, that the Xperia S doesn't support AVRCP 1.3?
I don't have the XS yet, so I can't test it myself.
I wanna use it in connection with Bluetooth Audio on my RCD510 (VW). But having ID3 / Title Data on Radio Display only works with AVRCP 1.3 profile.
I did also read something about problems according Sony MW 600 bluetooth headset, because 1.3 isn't supported.
If it's not in yet, I think it also doesn't come with ICS, because Arc S also didn't get it.
cheers!

Not in official firmwares. CM9, AOKP and I think CNA will have it.

That's so stupid crazy from Sony .. they offer accessories with features, that still can't be (full range) used with their own flagship phone ...

Don't blame Sony, it's ANDROID, blame google for that
Google should include the AVCRP support in Android (I have tested my MW600 on my dad's Galaxy Nexus to see wether it supports AVRCP 1.3 & guess what NO....)

1.3 support
This is important to me as well. I like to stream in my car but want to see the data on the radio. Many android phones can do this. Is there a work around without having to root the device?

I have tried it with my Sony deck and the track titles do not send over. You can, however, still use the controls to change songs, pause, etc...

That's a custom ROM not stock. Stock will not have this feature since its missing from Google.

What's stock didn't stop HTC changing the Gingerbread Bluetooth stack.... for the worse but they did change it.

if i remember correctly latest patches in CM7/CM9 have added AVRCP 1.3 support...
this is framework related right?

I could see the song names on my MBW600 when I was using the builti-n music app of my Galaxy S2; not sure if it's only after I updated to ICS. Note that my other app, Double Twist, didn't do this.

Oh really?
That sounds good, but not sure whether it's added by Samsung! I will give from my friends. Thanks for the info

Any way to get 1.3 or 1.4 or working now? ICS update doesnt support it either.

I have the Xperia Mini (SK17a) running stock FW, with Android 2.3.4 (v 4.0.2.A.0.62 , kernel 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser) , and it works fine with my car headunit, which can remote control and also show music ID tags via bluetooth. I´m not sure if it is AVRCP 1.3 support or if there is any tricky inside it.
Does anyone know?
I saw that Xperia S doesn´t support that yesterday and came here to search, when I found this thread.
Could it be possible to use or hack down SK17a somehow to port into Xperia S for example?
Does anyone know if Xperia Ion (LT28i) doesn´t support as well? As I saw some posts saying it is google/android limitation, but not sure with this fact of Xperia Mini be able to support.

is there a way that we can all email google and demand they put it in? Its not even supported in jelly bean.

Star an issue on their bug tracker.

It worked in Gingerbread but for some reason ICS has issues with it.

[Q] Music player equalizer?

This has been asked before, just wanted to see if anything new has been found.
Anybody know anything about an equalizer that will work with the built in Music player? The hero is meant to be a smartphone, yet it doesn't have even a basic feature like an equalizer. My old Sony Ericsson phone sounded perfect through my headphones, Android however isn't as good.
Anybody?
EDIT: Think I've found something in this post by Rones, I'm not sure if I'm imagining it though. Sounds good to me!

tested on so far.
Droid1 running 2.3

Thunderbolt running 2.2
Galaxy Tab running 3.1

my server is a Windows Home Server 2011. my router is a D-link 4500

tested playback on mkv,avi,wmv,mp4 and streaming plugin with all failing
no errors just dont play,
any help would be epic at this point..
are you able to access "http://homeserverIP:32400/manage/" on a desktop other than the home server?
The phones you listed, is that just stating what firmware they have or that they are streaming with that firmware?
Custom ROMS have been known to have issues, for instance, I stream no problem to my stock Captivate with 2.3.3 installed, but I have an issue streaming to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with TW... (funny thing, both are leaks from Samsung not custom ROMS)
More info about the devices your trying to connect with might help.

I don't think many people run plex here. I only had an issue with getting plex working was when UPnP was enabled. I disabled the service and did the firewall settings and enabled it again, been working no problem since.
With as many devices you have trying to get working, you might be better off going to the plex forums and inquiring there. http://forums.plexapp.com/
I've read through before and they do not support custom roms, only stock. And as for the galaxy tab with calkin's, it does not work for me either but it does on stock honeycomb and the first KFC touchwiz release. I am hoping the new official touchwiz will work out of the box. Good luck!

Yeah which version? The only one that worked for me was KFC release. So if its KFC based then its the Euro ROM and I am only interested in the US release.
I tested KM7 and KG8 and both did not work for me, but it did on my Captivate phone.

I haven't found a format it can't stream I have tested extensions *.mkv, *.divx, *.avi, *.m4v.
It did have some troubles with mkv that had DTSHD as the audio, but they have released two updates since and I have't tried again. I set all audio to downmix to stereo to help with keeping the bandwidth down.

[Q] is bluetooth the same across all 4.0.3 roms ?

reason for the title is streaming to my car stereo, on my vodafone stock 4.0.3 rom it shows the 1st track played with the stock media player but will not update to the next track when it changes unless i cycle through the car stereos display option until i get back to artist/album/track
if i use PlayerPro Music Player it shows the 1st track and refuses to update unless i power down.
now, if i restore paranoid android and stream using PlayerPro Music Player it works fine!
wondering if i can flash anything over the stock ICS 4.0.3 (i like everything on it, it all works like it should and the BT streaming is the only bug i have with it ) such as modems or kernels as i have no clue what contains the bluetooth files that are causing the issue.
i really want to keep it as close to a stock samsung 4.0.3 as possible.
can anyone suggest a way to sort this ?
thanks.
Anyone?

Most likely a problem with Samsung software. Have you tried installing a newer Samsung build that may have fixed that problem? If you have the most recent version then I'm afraid your gonna have to stick to aosp if you want it to work

no i have not, that was my next plan though, the vodafone UK release was quite early on in 4.0.3
i take it i will need to use another carriers version as i think the stock release is also quite old
pissed off now, 4.0.4 leaked today, installed and still the same issue
i just cant get on with the ASOP versions so i guess i have to live with it.

I had a lot of problem with bluetooth, the only ROM works fine for me is the Cyanogenmod 7 (cm-7-20120701-NIGHTLY-galaxys2).
it seems any android 2.* roms worked fine, just a problem with 4.0.* samsung roms, would love to figure it out but i don't know what to do next.

[Q] MP3 Playback - Bug!??

Hey guys
i have a Problem with the Playback from some mp3's.
So i open the file with the standard player, it say's: "This type of Audiofile can't be played"...
But if i open the Audiofile over the "Root Explorer", it will be played with this player.
What is it?
Any other App from the Store make exactly the same bug...
The exactly same file's was played on ICS without any failure... but Jelly Bean??
In hopes that the new firmware (1.14.401.18) will fix the problem, i had flash the Revolution HD 4.0 Rom but this is not the case...
What can i do?
It is not acceptable! Such problems were among the old Windows Mobile 6 times...
PS: The Custom Rom is NOT the Problem. I have this Bug since i unpacked the One x+...
I have no problem with music (FLAC or MP3) at all, so it must be a problem on your side (ROM, other installations, MP3 or anything)... Not a general HOX+ problem...

The one Point with the mp3's fix was the reason for me, to risk to flash an custom rom because i have only rooted it before.
I must correct me:
The MX Player, rather a Video Player, is able to play the MP3's. All now, without issues..
But not the "Beats" player from HTC, wich is perfectly integrated... Damn it!!

I have over 300 MP3 files and no problem playing them with the stock HTC player.
Many players will only work with standard bit rates and ID3 tags. If any are not using the proper standard it might fail to play.
The reason other players are working is most likely they are ignoring the bad data or will play nonstandard bit rates.

Latest Play Music update drops Nexus Q Support

It looks like Google finally dropped Nexus Q support. With the music streaming issues lately, some hoped they would fix it. Well, they did. You won't be having streaming issues anymore, because you can't do it at all. Sad day for us Nexus Q owners...
The question on my mind is: what to do now with this piece of hardware? My previous concerns about putting CM on it are now moot. I'm thinking of making it an independent media server. XBMC + CM 10?
What are all of you going to do next?
Does CM 10 include support for the speaker outputs?
Last I tried it was HDMI only
---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------
so I downloaded the AP K from a Chinese website so I could decompile it without having to root my own phone, and the icons are all still there. Maybe a glitch is preventing it from showing?
I posted on another thread wondering if the bluetooth can just be made discoverable so you can connect to it like a car stereo for streaming.

Sad indeed. It the most beautiful piece of useless technology I own now.
Fine, I understand they're killing the Q. I hate the fact that they're doing it, but as they said - no one really paid for it, atleast not paid Google.
But help me understand this, is there anything that can now replace spotify and apple-TV from Google? I'm loving the all access music service from Google but i still don't have the possibility to send songs to a media center, right?
Or can Google TV solve this?

Well, Maybe There is a chance... CM10 and the google play músic 5 apk... The thing is how to use it without a mouse or a bt Key board
Enviado desde mi Nexus 4 usando Tapatalk 2
This may be a stupid question, but can the previous Music app be "resigned" so it isn't updated or seen by the Play Store? Could the new Music app then be installed side by side with the altered Music app so we still get Q streaming abilities (with the old app) and then use the new Music app for All Access?
Modaco did something like this with TweakDeck. You could use both TweakDeck and TweetDeck side by side on the same device.

While it may not be the official method, I have Google Play Music sideloaded onto my CM10.1 Nexus Q and it works just fine, even since the update they announced at Google IO (with the orange UI).
If you have cm10.1 you can now download google music in the store this still need a proper app to control it from your phone like apple tv. Also does anyone know what kind of development is going on with it in cms side?

I'm up for doing this, but how do you control it? bluetooth mouse? or does it still connect up to the music app on your phone/tablet?
I'm pretty unhappy about this too. I bought my Q on EBay prior to the announcement that they weren't actually releasing it. I've pretty much built my whole music system around it so not being able to control it will make me go back to using an iPod - something I REALLY don't want to do!! I uninstall the update on my Razr HD and the old version still seems to work but I've not had any luck doing the same thing yet on my Xoom that's running EOS 4 (4.2.2). I may see if I can pull the apk from my Razr HD and install it on the Xoom.

You can control it with a bluetooth mouse, keyboard, remote etc. It doesn't allow you to use your phone/tablet as the playlist manager like the stock Nexus Q functionality, instead you get a fancy widescreen tablet style Google music interface on your TV and you navigate your music and play direct from there.
Am I right that there is no way to get analog output to work with CM to use it headless with some remote app and without TV plugged?
I'm looking for a meaningful solution aswell. We bought one of ebay and loved using it since our small circle of friends are all using google music so it made a lot of sense to us. If it were possible to keep to seperate gmusic apks on the phone that would already be enough I guess.
A good solution would be worth 100€ to us.

Here it is (the previous Q equipped Google Music APK), along with the Nexus Q APK (in case it drops from the store and anyone still needs it), and the Q equipped YouTube, because I'm sure its next update will remove support...
Please just give me a thanks if you take any of these!
