due to 4.0.3 having a soft reboot bug while streaming via bluetooth i have installed 4.0.4
all good apart from streaming to my car stereo via bluetooth, it no longer passes over the track and album titles.
anyone know of a music app that allows this ?
i can't be the only one who uses this function ?

The stock media player on the SII streams MP3 metadata over bluetooth. My bluetooth car stereo picks this up and displays the track information.
However, no other android media player I have found has this capability. This is bloody annoying, surely this should be handled by the bluetooth stack and be available for free for all media streaming.
Is there any other media player out there that will stream track information over bluetooth?
My stock music player used to when linked to my car stereo would broadcast song title/artist/track number/etc to the display to where it could be viewed and would update accordingly and would start/stop whenever i basicalled connected/disconnected the link. Now it wont do any of that and I believe I'm on Google Music beta.
I downloaded PowerAMP and it seems to be working with the starting/stopping once connected but its not broadcasting the track data. Is this something that can be modified via the bluetooth apk settings file or what? I don't want to go in and mess around with files then be SOL on my phone.
hi
I have a 2012 Subaru with factory radio which has Bluetooth Streaming and calling.
Has any one of the SGS2-i9100 (or any SGS2 owners) got their bluetooth to work correctly with this radio
when they have multiple media player apps installed in the phone...?
I have 2 problems.
1. Auto launching of a media player on car-start, which I want to disable completely.
I dont want the car to launch anything, I want to control it from the phone manually
(how do I do that)
2. When I play podcasts through google listen on the car player, I see meta tag information
from the installed poweramp (which knows all my music.) on the car screen. I dont know
why it does that. If I hit vol+/- on the phone the meta tag information switches(scrolls) up or down in my
music list, but well I am listening to the podcast from google listen,...
I can switch(scroll) podcasts using the cars seek+ or seek- buttons. with no problems...
Any help would be appreciated..

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

Hi folks,
this one is quite specific, but it's bugging me, so maybe any of you has a clue on how to fix it.
I'm running a Chinese Honor 7 PLK-UL00, not rooted, with the latest EMUI 4.0 v6.6.16 (Android 6.0.0). I use Bluetooth A2DP to stream music to my car's radio (stock Skoda "Swing"), which has the ability to display info about the music track that's currently playing.
This works fine when I use Spotify (or even YouTube, but who streams music via YouTube) - it shows the current Artist, Title, Length of the song and current position.
But when I try to stream music from a Web Radio app (tested radio.de and TuneIn), the info does not show up. The music streams fine, but the display shows the last title I played in either Spotify or YouTube.
On my smart watch, however, I can see the same info thats correctly shown in the info bar (i.e. the name of the radio station and the current show they're on).
My colleague uses a Samsung S7 edge, and with his phone, the info is correctly displayed on the car radio. We've also tested it on his Mercedes A-class.
Anybody have an idea what the difference may be?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
