[Q] Bluetooth Song Title Passthrough? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings,
I had an AT&T S4 and after the last OS update, suddenly my Spotify app was passing through song titles to my Toyota FJ factory radio display, streaming via bluetooth. Prior to that, streaming occurred but, the radio just said, "No Title".
Now I have an AT&T G3 and after pairing up fine with the radio, I get great music streaming in, but "No Title" on the display.
I'm rooted, froze a bunch of apps, and changed some permissions as well.
So, I'm trying to track down whether this is an Android version issue, or a frozen app/permissions issue. I would really like to get this passing through song titles as the S4 was.
Anyone have any ideas as to what drives that functionality?
Was this an update to Bluetooth included in an Android version after the 4.4.2 I have on the G3 now? If so, since I'm rooted, is there a way to side-load that into the G3 so I can recover this functionality?
Thanks,
Digger

X10a bluetooth issues

Hi So i bought the x10A to get ride of my Iphone, now i love this phone but
i have issues, with bluetooth i have a kenwood deck dnx6160 when i pair,
it does not pair my phonebook, now is there away to get this to work by maybe using a diff rom or something or debranding the phone
thanks
My phonebook doesn't show up either when I pair my phone. I have a jvc unit. However, bluetooth streaming works fine but the names of the songs don't display.. it states unknown when playing. I think this is just a phone issue, not sure. Anyone else have the phonebook working?
You might need to update the blue tooth firmware. I was thinking about using the DNX6140 bluetooth firmware on my DNX6160 just to see if the damn thing will do A2DP and SMS. Since DNX6140 has all the features that I would assume the 6160 would have. If it fails, I will update to 3.80
I have a G1 and a Galaxy Tab. Both grayed out phoning options right after I hang up. I chose this unit over Pioneer AVIC-920BT just b/c of Garmin nav I should have just installed a iPad or an Android Tab with GPS

[Q] Bluetooth issue.

I apologize if this is in the wrong place but here goes. My Alpine HD137BT bluetooth radio connects with my phone just fine, everything works perfect accept two things, the radio doesn't display my artist and track info and my Pandora wont work. I used to have a ATT HTC Inspire 4G rooted and the radio worked perfect with any ROM I used. But from some reason neither my OneX or OneX+ with any ROM displays the track info no matter what ROMs I use, even stock. Pandora always throws a "NO PANDORA" error on the radio even though I have car mode enabled. My current setup is an ATT one x+, rooted running a stock rom and I use Poweramp. Any thoughts guys/gals?

[Q] is a bluetooth headset version3 compatible with android jellybean 4.1.1?

hi
i have an m155 plantronics bluetooth headset which has a specification of bluetooth version 3.
when i use it with my android jellybean 4.1.1 mobile phone ALCATEL 5035E (unrooted) to play music, the music stutters,
drops off, then resumes, then finally drops off completely without resuming, although bluetooth
icon remains blue. i touched the bluetooth icon to disconnect it. the icon
blinks and does not stop.
i brought my mobile phone for service and they replaced my phone with a brand new one. but the same problem occurred.
the technicians said it could be a problem with the bluetooth compatibility with the android jellybean. they said to update my bluetooth device so that it becomes compatible with the android 4.1.1. i was skeptical because i had this vague thought that there is no such thing as updating the software on a bluetooth headset.
i checked on my android device, and the bluetooth version on the mobile phone is 4.1.1-1350
sorry if i sound stupid to ask you guys. but i need to give the technicians an answer so that we can move forward in finding the problem. Your answer will help us go in the right direction.
does the bluetooth headset need to be the same version with the android phone in order for it to function properly?
is there an android update that fixes my issue? if so, how do i get it?
thanks much

Android Auto/Bluetooth Issues

Has anyone had any success with android auto and the V10? I have not been able to connect to my NEX4100 via android auto AND bluetooth....
I think there are general bluetooth issues. I have a 2014 Cadillac with CUE Bluetooth and the V10 connects fine but no media can play. Calls work fine. I've tried many of the tricks that helped with the LG G4 (turning media audio off in settings after connecting then turning it back on) to no avail.
Between this and the force restarts, I may return this phone and go with the Nexus 6P. Also annoyed that verizon is selling the Qi chargin back as an accessory...
I had the same issue with my 2014 Jetta and the V10, took me 30 minutes of restarting bluetooth, turning the phone off and on, turning the car off and on and finally I switched my car to FM and the bluetooth connected to also support media audio. After that it worked ok. No idea what's up with the bluetooth but for my wireless headset it paired without issue. Seems picky

Same strange issues here.
Paired no problem to a 2015 Honda Accord. Unable to pair to a 2011 BMW X3 (however the HTC One M8, M9, Samsung Galaxy Avant and Light all pair no problem). And it paired no problem to a 2016 BMW X3.
And at the gym, it disconnected from the bluetooth headset while I was using it. Wouldn't reconnect until I powered the headset off and back on.
I've got the nex4100 as well and I have had no issues at all. Everything works as it should.

I don't know. Others in the thread seem to be confirming the issue your having but I seem to be the only one with the exact same head unit. Do you have the update for the head unit? My S5 had issues before the update. Update is kind of old but it did help with my S5. And Android Auto is working fine.

I am up to date on the 4100. So i swapped it out today and now it works with Android Auto, however it still does not work with bluetooth which is super odd.. to my understanding when you plug the phone in to connect to AA it still transmits the audio over bluetooth. Pioneer said it could be something wrong with the media bluetooth profile or something. Anyways i guess im stuck until they fix it. Maybe when android M comes out.
I don't know about Android Auto, but I definitely think the V10 has Bluetooth issues. I traded my Galaxy S6 Edge+ in for a V10 a week ago. I notice the Bluetooth audio is consistently "skipping" on both my car's audio and my Bluetooth headphones. Both devices worked flawlessly on my S6. Sometimes my car will even completely disconnect from the phone and I have to go through a complete reset/re-add process to get it back.
Hoping a 6.0 update will come soon and fix this issue.

Just an update as I just ran new cable in the car for the new phone. Everything tested out fine for me. The car is an 02 Camaro that I don't drive often now that it's cold outside but after hearing your problems I wanted to make sure everything was working the way it's supposed to. I don't think bluetooth audio while on Android Auto worked at all but Google play works just fine. Bluetooth audio was flawless when not connected to Android Auto. Tested it on and off Wi-Fi. Good to hear your better after the swap.

I'm having problems connecting to my 2015 GMC Sierra (GMC Intellilink). I can connect, connect automatically, make and receive phone calls, but the bluetooth audio for music DOES NOT WORK. Most of the time, when I try to play a song via google play music or Deezer, the head unit in my truck immediately goes BLACK for about 10 seconds, I hear a whirrr of an internal fan, and it starts back up disconnected from the phone. The phone is causing the head unit to fail & restart. Sometimes it doesn't restart. It'll show the progress bar of the music, as well as on my phone. I can pause, play, next song, etc. but NO AUDIO comes out. It's just dead silent.
I'll let you guys know what my dealership says, as it's in service right now for this issue. I'm hoping there's an update for the software :/
When I bluetooth over to my $300 Sony x-7s speaker, every 10 seconds or so I get a loud static pop. Luckily I kept my note3 so I just use that until an update (hopefully) will fix the issue, so I can listen to my Howard Stern on the v10. I am surprised they didn't push an update on or near release date. Maybe they are going straight to Marshmallow.
So i have an update after having a week or so to play around with it. Although I cannot connect to my NEX 4100 via bluetooth I can use google play music via android auto. Also i cannot use spotify on AA UNLESS i hit play on google play music first then pause then try to play a song on spotify...... very strange.
I'm glad it's not just me... Same weird bluetooth issues here with my Mercedes E63 AMG and the COMMAND unit. It was working flawlessly with my last phone (Xperia Z3.) The V10 is nothing but a headache so far. The following problems are happening:
Won't connect at all, and hangs.
Connects for calls only, no media.
Connects, instantly disconnects, cycle repeats.
To fix it I either have to keep manually connecting from COMMAND, until it randomly works. Or disconnect from the phone, and reconnect again. Or turn bluetooth off and on. On the note of which, half the time I do that, it hangs. Love the phone, but I'm going to return it if this goes on.
Further note: I even took the car in to the dealer, and paid 150 bucks to get the latest firmware updates done on it. That didn't fix it either. Tried my Xperia again, still works flawlessly. Ugh.
I had an interesting issue with bluetooth.
I paired it to my 2015 Jeep Overland.
Music from SD Card played fine.
Then tried pandora. Nothing worked. Disabled bluetooth and pandora was fine. Went back to local mp3s from SD card and they would not play now.
Had to un-pair and pair it again. Then mp3s worked.
Played pandora and nothing and that broke mp3s again.
Then I tried my g4 on Sprint. Pandora worked fine.
Also tried Tune in Radio and that worked on v10 over bluetooth.
I think it is caused by Binge On from t- mobile downsampling the stream on pandora and the Uconnect radio does not like the bitrate or format.
I did read t-mobile will downsample streamed movies.
So folks with bluetooth issues, what are you testing with?
I have a less standard setup. I connect to my 2012 Cadillac system as a phone only, and I have an aptx bt dongle attached to the aux port that I'm connected to as a media device.
My phone connects to both simultaneously, and hands the phone back and forth for calls and music. It works flawlessly, and the audio quality way better than any OEM bt streaming that I've ever heard.
I have a Pioneer DEH 80PRS in my truck and it has connected and works perfect just like my G3 did. It always auto connects when entering the vehicle and hands off between streaming Tune in radio or from the SD card using the Android music player app and a phone call no problem. Hopefully the guys having problems will get a fix when the phone is given some MM goodness.
Same issues with Bluetooth and my 4100nex. Calls work, Android auto works, Bluetooth music does not. I'm in my 14 day window. This may be a deal breaker for me. Kinda regret ditching my note 4 for this.
Yall think it will get fixed with an update, or are we permanently screwed?

I am having the same problem with my LG V10. It won't stay connected to my Lexus 2015. The only thing I found that would work is if I keep the phone unlocked.
looks to be an issue with LG

Same issue between LG V10 T-Mobile and my Bluetooth audio on my 2014 Kia Optima SX. I also have similar connectivity issues between the phone and the Microsoft Band. Similar reports on the Microsoft boards of same Bluetooth issues with the Band and V10. Sounds like a problem on the LG side to me.

Pandora no longer working.

Hi, Folks, I got the Huawei Mate 10 Pro (BLA-A09), Version 8.0.0.119 and use Pandora in my Cars often.
In my Cars, I got the Pioneer AVIC-7200NEX.
Until recently, I was able to connect to the Pioneer easily, got the Songs on the Screen, can sort through Stations, got the Art on Screen, etc.
Not anymore. The Huawei will connect via BlueTooth, runs the Phone, etc. Just not Pandora.
Tried it on both Cars. same result. Unable to connect. The Phone is paired, just won't talk to Pandora.
What I've done so far:
Clear Cache, perform Disk cleanup.
Re-set Network settings.
Remove all BlueTooth devices from the Car and the Phone.
Re-paired.
Un-install Pandora, reinstall it.
I'm ready to fire up my old trusty Samsung Galaxy S6 again.
Anyone?

I have the same model, and have issues occasionally with connectivity with Ford Sync, and a Sony head unit also. Rebooting and /or re-pairing does the trick for me.
Since 119 just rolled out, did it work with 112? No mention of bluetooth changes with 119, but it also wasn't supposed to break the camera. So who knows? There is a thread with firmwares for this variant in the ROM's section I believe. You could downgrade to 112, which is a pretty drastic step. Pandora updates frequently, this could also have caused issues. Look for older versions online. Shouldn't be too hard to find the APK's. This would be what I would try next. You have tried most everything else at this point.

Thanks for the reply. No, the new update (C567patch01) didn't do anything. Everything esle is working fine, I can still use Pandora through Blue tooth Audio, just can't control it anymore, like selecting stations, thumb up or down, etc.
Very annoying. This Phone was working really well until this happened.
I don't think I'm ready to downgrade to an older Firmware just yet. Perhaps I'll so a re-set next.
