No Metadata sent to receiver - Xperia Z3v General

Hello all, just a couple of thing that I'm having problems with and thought you guys may be able to help. I have a Sony XAV-712HD receiver in my car and use the Xperia Z3v with it and I get no song info from any app via Bluetooth connection. I tried my wife's Galaxy S4 and my friends Note 4 and both put song info up on the display immediately. Also anyone using MirrorLink, I have low sound quality and can't adjust the volume on the phone while in Mirrorlink. I know it says Bluetooth is not supported when using ML but if I use audio through the cable it only plays through my front speakers. Anything you guys can help with would be great! Thanks in advance!

So I can better help you, which music apps do you use? For example I use Google's Play Music. On a side note, have you checked Bluetooth settings while you are connected or trying too connect to see what's going on?

I just posted a reply but don't know where it went... LOL Anyway, I have checked BT settings on both devices connected and not. I use Spotify, Amazon, Walkman with music on sd card, and iHeart. I have factory reset both devices and still no go. I really wanted to like this device but the lack of data while on a call just doesn't work with my career and my boss ordered me a Note 4 that will be here in the morning. If you don't have time to mess with it don't worry about it. Just kind of wondering if anyone else was having an issue.

That's weird... Sorry I couldn't help you. Hopefully that issue works out for you. The data and call feature should be fixed along with xlte with the lollipop update which should be soon. Which could be this month or next month.

Not a problem man. Thanks for trying to help! I was told by the rep at the end of last year it would be a couple of months but it has recently become a real issue. Thanks again!

My poineer unit receives song data from every app I've tried. Walkman, Spotify(What I use most), Google play, pandora.. etc.
However, my girlfriends G3 doesn't show anything when playing via her phone.

[Q] Netflix still working? Video out to Pioneer deck? GPS? Other Misc Issues

1. I haven't seen anything posted but I could have sworn there was a link somewhere to a modified flash player that allowed netflix to work on the TB?
2. Also is there ANY WAY to get Netflix, Pandora, or ANY application to do video output to any Pioneer deck?
If not, OK, is there a way to use the TB or ANY android phone as a GPS nav with a Pioneer for example? The deck connects to an ipod/iphone directly and allows you to output video from apps including MotionX GPS which works great!
3. Verizon is the FIRST provider I have been with that has had this issue but if you are on the phone with two people and try and end one call it actually kills both calls and SOMETIMES redials the last person you were speaking to. It doesn't always work unforunately. They claim it affects all phones but the iPhone 4 I have I haven't had that issue on. I was on with tech support for over an hour trying to get them to understand the problem, then they acknowledged it was a defect in the phone that was not fixable. THEN they said it was a network limitation with Verizon.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

[Q] Galaxy s2 restarts during bluetooth music streaming

I have just received a new S2 after breaking my old one. I need to know if this one needs to go back.
I stream all my music through my Sony car stereo via Bluetooth. Now since getting my new phone. After about 15 minutes of streaming my phone kind of restarts itself. I say kind of, as it doesn't ask for the sim password, but it does go back to the home screen with the music player completely shut down. I loose all BT connection between phone and stereo and I have to find the track i was previously listening to, as though i have opened the player for the first time that day.
When this happens I have no other apps running, and I know the music player has an auto switch off timer in its settings, but i have got this switched off.
I upgraded it to ICS straight away so never tested if this fault occurred whilst my new phone was on Gingerbread.
Is this an ICS fault or the phone? As I didn't get chance to upgrade to ICS before I broke my old phone. So cannot tell.
Hope someone can help.

Did you mean remove the current pairing i have with my stereo, and search for it again, and start a fresh. If so i will try that on my way to work in the morning and see if it makes a difference. Thank you

Thanks. I have the timeout set to never. Also how do you unpair a device on my S2 ? I am running ICS.
I have tried holding for a number on seconds but no menu comes up. plus the lower left button brings up no menu that offers to unpair.
I'm confused!!!
I have the same problem!
The model of my sony bluetooth car radio is mex-bt5700
The problem began when I began to install ics roms.
The restart is always each 22-23 minutes.
I have tried andyx rom, wanam and others...and always the same.
I have also tried lot of apps, google music, samsung player, player pro, poweramp...
The problem is that I have also bluetooth headset (sony bt-101) and I have no restart with it.
Only with Sony radio.
Hope somebody founds a solution because is very anoying and I wish to stay with ics...I love it!
Thanks!
Well i've tried all but one thing now. Unpairing, repairing, spitting, swearing, apart from stamping on it my last thought is i'm restoring factory settings and trying back on Gingerbread. Just to ensure it is not my phone, and it is ICS.
Once i've done this and tested it i will report back.
Hi Pope, did you have any luck? I am having the same problem with my Galaxy SII. I've tried factory resets, removing the MicroSD card, re-pairing the bluetooth, nothing helps.
I called my provider and they suggested it could've been a bad cell in the battery (been fine with previous Galaxies), or cooking the phone by having navi, music and data on (again, been fine with previous Galaxies).
They're sending me another phone tomorrow, I'll see if it does the same.
Fu..k this is the worst problem i am facing too, dam it why all the **** happens with android and not the iphone, this is when i get teased by how fu..ked android is by my friends when this happens infront of them.
I am fuming now, as it also only happens with my sony car stereo and not with my bluetooth headset ( philips ). Dam Dam, so shall I go back to dam SLOW GB just to solve this grap.
And why exactly after 30 minutes this ****y reboot happens with my sony car stereo when playing music over bluetooth
I am so angry now, as I am sure not many suffer from that problem so no solution will fix that
And for gods sake which controls the sound coming out of the device via bluetooth is it the kernel or the modem, AAHHHHHHHHHHH i am about to throw this mother f___cker out the fu____king window
Galaxy SII bluetooth crash
I also have the Galaxy S2, and also the Bluetooth streaming reboot issue. Seems to have started after the ICS upgrade. Every couple of songs the the track starts to glitch and I know the crash is coming. From my research it seems to commonly affect people streaming to Sony in-car systems. Hope there is a fix soon...:/
I have the very same problem! It started when I updated to ICS and it only happens with my Sony car stereo. Any solutions?
i seem to have fixed my problem, took the sony MEX back and bought a Alpine bluetooth stereo, its ran for over an hour now without a reboot,
if you want to keep the same stereo you need to upgrade to a custom 4.0.4 rom
paranoid android also works. but you will need PlayerPro Music Player to stream track details to the head unit.

Bluetooth issue with car stereo

I came from the Galaxy S3 and I have a Kenwood car stereo that I send bluetooth to from my phone. I noticed a couple differences/issues with the setup when I switched to the G3.
1) Connection time - My GS3 would auto connect fairly fast to the car deck but it seems like the G3 will sometimes take twice as long to connect to it. Anyone else have an issue like that?
2) Song display - use spotify to play the music on my phone. With my GS3, the stereo would show the artist name and song title of the song that was currently playing. With the G3 it doesn't show any of that information. I've messed around with the stereo to see if its a setting there but it isn't. It's set to display title and artist. Is there anyway to get it to send that info from the phone?
I realize this is a bit off your original question, but still posting for the sake of continuity of the phone...
I have a Pioneer double din touchscreen unit that has worked flawlessly with my Galaxy nexus, my LG G2, and now my LG G3, on bluetooth and displaying music information from apps on my phone.
I'm having the same issue in my BMW X5. The artist and album and any other information is all "unknown".
I had this issue with both my S4 and now my G3. However, it seems to just be hit or miss. I work for a used car department, and what I've found after switching phones is: Some vehicles proprietary systems that displayed info from my S4 do not display it for my G3, but some that didn't display for my S4 do display for my G3.
As to the X5 comment. Not really sure what to tell you, because I took a 328i on a check delivery last week and my G3 synced up with it, displaying proper information and all.
I came from a gs3 running the latest cm 11 rom. I have Ford Sync in my truck and as I use bluetooth exclusively for phone calls, I cannot speak to the display. However I have noticed that the connection is sometimes just as quick as the gs3 was, but sometimes can take up to a minute. I'll post an update if I get a chance to test out the media display.
Update: I played an mp3 with Play Music through my truck's bluetooth audio and the artist/title displayed on my console. Looks like this is a vendor specific issue.
Also have found this problem. It's kind of disappointing because I rather like being able to see the information. I figured that with Bluetooth 4 these problems would be a thing of the past

[Q] Sharing audio during a phone call

I have posted it 2 months ago on "apps and software" and got nothing. So I'm trying again here.
Hello everyone!
What I'm looking to do is really simple, a LOT of people are interested in these feature, however, no one has a clear solution.
There has been a lot of post about this subject but they are most old post and there's nothing help full.
Here is the problem - whenever I'm talking over the phone, I can play any music I like and I can hear it perfectly, but the other side cant hear anything! even if ill let the music play using the phone speaker - the other side is silent (witch is strange cause when the speaker play, the mic should transfer the sound and shouldn't "care" who is making it).
So after a lot of searching for apps and different ways, I found out something interesting.. If I make the call using an VOIP (skype, viber and so on) and Ill play music at the same time - THE OTHER SIDE CAN HEAR IT PERFECTLY!!! witch means the phone is fully capable of doing it.
What is going wrong when I'm using the cellular network instead of VOIP? is there a way around it?
Ive noticed some people don't get WHY would I want to do it.. well, I'm working using my phone (sales) and using the exact same pitch. I would like to be super lazy and play a recorded version of me, and when its done, be able to just keep talking to the person without him being able to notice the difference.
Since I'm doing it for work, I cant use VOIP for regular calling.
I'm using Nexus 4, chroma rom (lollipop)
ANY help at all will be appreciated
Something to think about..
Since I didn't found any software to do it (yet), I'm experimenting with a different direction.
I currently use a PC headphones with a simple Y adapter from eBay. So I'm thinking "all I need is another microphone. One for the talking, another to sit between speakers that will play the sound for the caller.
I've gone through eBay again, this is a tough one to find cause I need 'audio input' splitter and most splitters are 'audio output'.
If you guys know something about it, please share.

Bluetooth Speaker Popping

Loving the phone so far, but I'm sad to say while connected to my Sony x-7s wireless speaker, I hear a Popping sound about every 15-20 seconds.
I jumped over to my old Note 3 and played the exact same file and the distortion vanished, so I know it's the phone.
Anyone else getting this or know of a workaround? Hopefully it can be fixed by an update.

I'm having the same problem with my V10. Tried it on a Bluetooth headset and a Bluetooth speaker. On WiFi and cellular. Problem does not go away.
same here, only difference is that it happens to certain speaker and not the others.
I've tried on 4 different bluetooth speakers that I have, and on one of them it would sound absolutely horrible and distorted. Tested the same speaker with Note 4 and boom beautiful sound.
I'm lucky that the adapter that I use in the car isn't affected.
Bluetooth audio reminds me of the original OG Pro, which sounded like an over compressed files being broadcast over AM Radio. That problem persisted until it got the KitKat update.
I suspect it has something to do with LG overlooking the need to differentiate compression/bitrates for aptX vs non aptX devices. Its definitely a major letdown, but one likely to be fixed.

streaming on my aptx receiver in the car is perfect, it actually sounded a lot better than my note 4. But yeah, on the cheap portable bluetooth speaker...not so much.
I have the Verizon LG V10 and occasionally hear the popping when connected to my Bose Soundlink III, and cheap BT speaker at work and in my truck (2013 Ford F-150). But what is even worse, it randomly "stutters" on all three as well all the time! I noticed today in my truck that every time it stuttered, the "play" and "pause" buttons flashed on the touch screen--kinda like the phone was telling it to pause and then play very quickly.
Anyone else seeing anything like this? Any ideas to fix? Other than this pretty major issue, I am lovin' this phone! Thanks for any help!

The stutter is killing me as well. I have yet to pin point the exact cause to it, but this is quite unacceptable for a hexacore device.
I use poweramp btway, and I've tried increasing the buffer etc to no avail. At first I thought it was only struggling when google map is running in the background, or when the list of apps are full. But I've tried clearing all recent apps, even without anything in the background it still stutters.
I hope someone figures out what's wrong. Coming from note 4, I'm a little disappointed with all of these random quirks that frankly is unacceptable for a flagship device.

My problem occurs with Google Play music streaming as well as downloaded playlists; the stock LG app with the LG that came with the phone and streaming Pandora. And occurs whether connected to my Bose SLIII, my truck or SoundPal speaker at work... I've tried clearing all recent apps, restarting the music app and restarting the phone... none of that works... Very disappointing and sure hope a fix comes out from somewhere soon!

so I finally rooted and hard reset last night. Two things that I've changed now:
-Unchecked the NuPlayer option under developer mode
-Installed Viper4android
so far...no skipping yet!
So maybe you can try unchecking the Nuplayer option to see if it helps. Also, I suspected it could be some other app like AdGuard that I installed before I rooted. I don't have that anymore since I'm back to Xposed.

I'm on Verizon so rooting is not an option... yet... I'll try selecting the AwesomePlayer instead of NuPlayer and see if that makes any difference. Thanks!
I just switched to awesomeplayer and it seems to be working better, but it's still being a little weird.

I spoke too soon, the issues are coming back again now.
I noticed that the audio will start popping when data is flowing. e.g. when a notification is coming in, a text, an incoming whatsapp chat, a movement in map, etc.
this is frustrating.
Google Now Voice Settings
So I had this problem appear about a week ago, and then I tracked down what I changed. Try disabling Bluetooth Headset in the Google now voice settings. I turned it on hoping it would make OK Google detection better with my head unit. It didn't, it just made the audio pop every 3 seconds.
TL;Dr turn off Bluetooth Headset in Google now - voice settings.

mine has always been off, issue still persists. I've resorted to it being an LG issue as I never had this issue with any Samsung phones I've had.

Yeah, turns out it only reduced the issue, not removed it. I don't understand why it would suddenly appear for me. Worked fine for 6 months, had the Marshmallow update for a while now. Suddenly one day it starts sounding like crap.

I usually reboot when it gets really bad, then it'll be good for some time before it starts popping like crazy again.
Again, this is not a new issue for LG. It's been reported since the day of G2.
I am having the same issue ATT LG V10 not rooted, Google voice Bluetooth headset settings is off. I have the problem when listening with my jaybird headset or 2016 Honda fit, mostly with Google music and beyond pod whether audio is downloaded or streaming. As a Samsung Note user for many years this is disappointing and debilitating!
I cleared the cache for all apps, and the skipping went away. I'm going to see how long it takes before it comes back.
Yeah, had this issue with my LG G3 and now with this phone. Not sure how LG can continually use poor Bluetooth chips. Other devices work fine but this one pops so often, it's painful using my Bluetooth headphones or speakers. It's sad cause I love the amp on it when listening wired.
Fixed (so far) my Bluetooth problems by disabling (check the box) battery optimization on system apps. My solution post http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/marshmallow-blue-tooth-problems-solved-t3409943/page1
