I have phone connected to car over Bluetooth. I want to see how can I identify playback information for Bluetooth. I am looking for the codec and bit rate information when playing music with Google play or Pandora apps over a2dp. To be clear: I'm looking for a2dp connection codec and bit rate information. I tried googling and searching at sea but didn't find anything useful. I tried logcat viewer but don't know if that info is there at all. Too much noise. Tried searching through but no success. Help please.
I'm using sense Rom on HTC M7. Android 4.4.3. Rooted.
Thank you.

I have a Unlocked Galaxy S 2 running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.3. Originally the bluetooth audio feature worked with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010) but I had to go into the running application and force close A2DP bluetooth running. I guess this causes a problem with some car units. Anyway I upgraded the phone to 2.3.4 UHKG7 and now the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
SOLVED IT!
Look in this thread I wrote...

Awesome!
Thank You so much, that fixed it. I now can hear music through my car. Couple of small issues I've noticed, the music sounds somewhat static. Also when I'm talking to someone over bluetooth my voice seems to eco in the car as this didn't happen before. I am very happy those are just miner issues I can live with, but if you have any suggestions on tweaking the settings to fix this that would be great. Thanks again!
Ok, I'm glad I could help you with this.
I'm still figuring out how this audio codec has to set correctly .....
Is there an app, widget, whatever that will allow me to easily switch the audio output from one device to another? e.g., I am connected to both headphones and a bluetooth A2DP device and audio is playing through the the A2DP. I want to be able to switch to headphones or even the built-in speaker without turning off the A2DP device or connecting/disconnecting the headphones.
I have a couple of devices that I would like to do this on:
Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) w/ AOKP 4.2.1 (root access enabled)
Archos G9 w/ ICS 4.0.4 (root access enabled)
I have searched the Play Store, XDA, and the open interwebs for a solution, but search terms like "android audio output device switcher" are frustratingly broad and difficult to narrow. I previously came from an iOS background, where the audio switcher was built into the OS audio system, and the headphones, iPhone output, bluetooth, and any AirPlay devices could all be selected with relative ease. Ideally, I'd like something that works as easily, perhaps as a lockscreen or notifications widget. A solution that requires root would be fine.
Many thanks!
I was hoping to see any response or direction .. I'm also looking for a solution for this
Really late to reply, but SoundAbout should do that trick.
2018 and still nothing aside from SoundAbout, which crashes on me. ??
u can use lesser audioswitch from playstore.it works flawless.
Does anyone have this issue? I'm a little new to Android as I just dumped my iPhone.
Basically, when streaming music to my car radio, my iPhone would provide artist information, album, etc ... everything about whatever is playing. On the One however, album, artist etc displays as UNKNOWN and the ticker for the length of the song counts 1 second, 2 seconds and after 3 it starts over again at 1. I've checked through the bluetooth settings on the phone and don't see any check box specifically for A2DP or something similar. I've also checked this against other radios with the same capability, and on another radio it won't display any artist information, or even the words UNKNOWN. The time never stops ticking either, even when I change tracks. It just goes on and on forever.
Any help is appreciated.
now that i've played with it a little more, it seems to be a Pandora only related issue .... anyone else experience this?
Spotify as well .... seems to be any kind of streaming service. I have files on my phone that play through bluetooth and all of the information displays properly on screen.
Am I really the only one?
With Android, song metadata won't be sent over a Bluetooth A2DP connection unless someone has modified both the Android OS and whatever music app you want to use to both support AVRCP 1.3 (since stock Android still does not support AVRCP 1.3). The HTC One does support AVRCP 1.3, as HTC has modified the Bluetooth stack on the phone to support it. HTC also added support for AVRCP 1.3 in their HTC Music app on the One, so music you play with that particular app has the capability to stream song metadata to a Bluetooth device that supports that function.
The Spotify Android app does not currently have support for AVRCP 1.3, so it will not send the song metadata to a BT device. (And I'm betting that feature won't come anytime soon because the devs for Spotify seem to be pretty pathetic, IMO).
I'm not currently aware of what other Android music apps have built-in support for AVRCP 1.3, sorry. But it's not a majorly-supported feature, so I can say there won't be many of them. :crying:
Hello guys,
i hope im posting this in the right section.. so here is what im looking for:
my car's radio supports only bluetooth phone function so i cant play music via bluetooth.. but i got this idea last time when even the phone function of whatsapp worked with the bluetooth of my car:
is there an app to play music via the bluetooth-phone instead of bluetooth-headset function? and if not can somebody give me a hint or usefull tutorials (playing music app, using bluetooth and so on) on how to develop such an app?
would be really great if u guys can help me with this it really pisses me off that i cant use bluetooth to play my music! and im sure this would help many others too!
thanks!
First thing this is the wrong section.......
Second.....you don't need an app to do it man.....just connect to your car stereo....then go to Bluetooth settings.....click on the name of your stereo device....open device settings.....there will be an option for use as speaker or something like that....I don't remember the exact words....but I've done it before.....
Third.....always search for tutorials before posting direct questions......
Fouth press thanks buttons if i helped.....
sorry for my late answer..
this didnt help at all.. i dont know if u ever had a radio which is able to only use bluetooth for phone calls. if it would be possible i would have found it in the radio settings for sure but this is the 2nd radio i had to deal with which isnt possible to play music via bluetooth even though it has bluetooth! i would be able to find bluetooth option under sourcers of music playing devices right next to the usb and CD option but there is no bluetooth option.. im not that dumb bro

I guess you got him wrong. You have to look at the Bluetooth settings on your phone and search for your car's radio as output source. If you have paired your device with your radio, you should be able to stream your music to your radio via Bluetooth if supported.
In case your car isn't able to support music playback, then there is no possibility for you to listen to your music besides buying a radio which is able to do so.

at least you understood me right
but is there really no way using phone function to play music? i mean whatsapp is just an app it should be possible developing an selfmade app to create phone bluetooth connection and then play your own music through it. or isnt the bluetooth-phone "tunnel" able to use for other things except calls?
Your issue is that your car radio desert support A2DP protocol. This is what is used to send and receive music to devices.
What you won't to do will not work unless you build an app that sends it's audio through the protocols for the phone. Here you will run into call issues.
Hi all im having trouble with WiFi when playing music through my Bluetooth speakers like YouTube videos skip and buffer and radio apps its really getting me down I have tried searching and tried numerous fixes wifi tweaks but nothing helps has anyone found a fix for this or some sort of work around any help would be much appreciated
