I am just wondering if anyone has had success getting Bluetooth Track metadata to be listed when syncing to bluetooth devices such as ones found in our cars. I have a Ford Focus and when I send media to the Ford Sync system using things like Pandora or BeyondPod, the only information listed is "Unknown" under the bluetooth category.
I know that this in particular was an Android issue and was not support through Android until 4.3 Jelly Bean. My previous phone was a Galaxy S3 rooted with Tasks latest rom running Android 4.3 and that device works properly. It syncs immediately with the car stereo and track listings are displayed properly as well as incoming text messages display on the screen.
This is not the case with my brand new Galaxy Note 3. I assumed that since it was running Android 4.3 and supported the newer bluetooth standards that it would perform similarly. That might have been my first mistake...assuming....but is anyone else having similar issues? Can someone point me in a direction that I might be doing something wrong? Im really hoping its just a setting I am missing and not something that Samsung decided to leave out or forgot about.
Thanks in advance.

It works on Note 3, in fact it works on all 4.3's now, I've had this issue on Nexus 4 and the last few new updates it started working.
You can see the name of song and artist and so on...

Thanks for the reply. I have had it working on a couple of 4.3 devices now, including my own Galaxy S3 running 4.3 and on all of those devices I really did not have to do anything besides sync the Phone with the device and send a Pandora track to it. Did you confirm it is working on the Note 3 in particular, and if so, did you have to turn any settings on or do anything special to get it to send the data?
As of right now, the song is played by the bluetooth device but no track information is displayed. This is also supposed to work for text messages, however I dont see that information displayed either. I want to confirm it is working on these Note 3 so I can try and narrow down a software or hardware issue.
Doesn't work on my Note, syncd with a Kenwood DDX429.

Maybe S3 did not the lates updates.
Nexus 4 is like the lates you can get them, and NOTE 3 just came out so should have latest.
I can confirm BT work amazing with all the proper displaying, SMS, pictures in phonebook and so on on my NOTE 3 N900W8 and my Ford SYNC, touch, latest firmware.
I did not have to do anything special, just paired and done.
Voice clarity and sound volume are amazing.
One problem BT creats a wakelocck "bluetooth_timer" trying to figure it out why.
Thanks for that.. So we have a Note 3 that works and one that doesn't. My Note 3 is an N900A on ATT..... I wonder if there is a carrier software issue at play here?
Can anyone else on different carriers confirm or deny the functionality of this feature?

After a bit more testing, it looks like my text messages on my N900A actually do work with the car bluetooth unit. Which makes things a bit more odd since I know that before I got 4.3 on my S3, I was not able to receive any information on the display. Once I upgraded to 4.3 then everything just started working.
Since your N900A seems to work properly it makes me wonder if something is wrong with this particular phone. I'll have to test with a friends Note 3 and see what happens.
What apps were you using that worked properly? Did you do anything special (i.e. settings, app settings, etc) or like previously mentioned, did you just sync the phone and everything started working?

Try looking if there is a new soft for the car.
Also I've checked the "bluetooth_timer" wakelock problem, and if you press "cancel" when phone asks you to allow messages, and you don't check markalways allow for the phone book, the wakelock is not a problem. Also don;t set phonebook to auto download if you have the option, just do one time download.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I just upgraded the car software to the latest release as of last month. I also ruled that out because the S3 is working just fine. Where before it was on Android 4.3 I would not see any info on the screen.
At this point I might be leaning towards a defective phone, due to text messages appearing on the screen but no metadata, but I will try some more testing. I have access to a second Note 3 that I will try to sync up and see what happens.
I am hoping I get some more feed back before I resort to replacing the unit. We shall see.

that sucks, but I highly doubte it's the phone defect, it's just software of the car or phone. Best bet is to wait for CM ROM for this phone CM worked always best for me re: car bluetooth.
Also some cars are just bad that way I tried my Nexus 4 on brand new Infinity FX fully loaded everything, the phone would not even connect to their system
My friend has Infinity EX35 2008, his Andorid phone would not allow him to play music through BT or cable, but I gave him my old crappy Iphone 3G and it works perfectly.
Try googling your car's smartphone supported list. Like this but for your car: here
My best suggestion keep the phone try not to get bothered by this and eventually it will work, I had to wait for about 5-6 month till it started working again. It all has to do with software updates and BT files.

I thought of that too, just wait for software patch or CM. Its my OCD that is getting in the way. The phone seems to work fine otherwise. I know its a little thing and it could also just be that the phone is newer then my car and car software so it may just take some time to get the kinks worked out.
I'll give it a few more days and see who else replies before I do anything rash I did live with the S3 just fine with no metadata before it got upgraded. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll keep your wakelock suggestions in mind as well.

No problem, I've had lot's BT issues and been trying to solve then over the years. It's surprising not that many people use phones here with car BT's like that, so not many replies
Re: Wakelock, install this and see if you even have the problem, it would be in Kernel Wakelocks.
Also what car do you have? I'll keep an eye out if I hear anything, I'll let you know.

Ford Focus Titanium 2013, I really appreciate it.
It always makes me laugh when I see so many people who have bluetooth in their vehicle or a fancy smartphone and have no idea what they can do together Its a curse being the tech guy and knowing what things can do and agonizing over some specific issue that the normal person/user doesn't even realize is there. I.E. metadata on the display.
Me: "The phone isn't working right"
Normal Person: "Does the car play the song?"
Me: "Ya"
Normal Person: "Then what's the problem"
Me: "Its supposed to do more tho...gahhhh"

I used to contact SYNC support and the answers where just crazy, that's when I started to do it myself, my problem is I don;t know Linux well
Can anyone else confirm or deny how well the AVRCP 1.3 is working on their Note 3 to show track information on their bluetooth devices.?
Please list model and carrier if possible.

I get this same error with Pandora modified. It works perfect on all other devices but my note3 on tmobile. Saddens me that I had to downgrade.
Bluetooth AVRCP issues
I have used multiple devices in my car and the song information always displays correctly. Ever since I purchased my Note 3, I have noticed that my car's
display gets stuck on the first song's information and never switches. The songs will correctly play and quality does not seem to be impaired.
I have not found a way to update my car's software but I will look into it. Just wanted to add my issues to the thread.
I have the AT&T SM-N900A version of the Note and my car is a 2012 Honda Civic Si.

Thanks for the reply, I would bet Samsung is doing things a little differently with these new phones and it might take a bit for the Manufacturers to catch up. I have also read on a couple other sites that AVRCP 1.3 may not be implemented properly and might need to be updated by Samsung, it is unknown at this point but hopefully I will be able to test this out with a Tmobile Note 3 this afternoon and report back on how things look.
With my ATT Note 3, I get text messages on the screen (which I didnt on the S3 prior to updating) but I dont get any track info.
Lets keep the confirmations coming, maybe we can narrow down a make and model and let the Carriers/Samsung know they need to fix something if its broke.
Has anyone been able to screen mirror to their SmartTV / Bluray using their Note 4. I have been trying to mirror to my Sony device yet all I get is an error message that the connection failed. Screen mirroring works perfectly with my Galaxy S4. I was hoping to continue mirroring directly without having to buy a Chromecast or Roku. I contacted Samsung support and as always they were worthless. Thanks in advance.
I mirror without issues to my Samsung Tv. Are you rooted or any mods installed?

The Galaxy Note 4 is not rooted and running stock ROM. The Galaxy S4 is rooted. Both are running 4.4.4.
I mirror all the time to my Smart TV no issues
I don't have any issues. Maybe try Odin th ed stock firmware. Worth a shot.
If your connected to WiFi network try disconnecting from it. Also make sure you forget the network settings as well. Do not want to reconnect to WiFi while attempting to screen mirror. See if screen mirroring works that way?
I had an issue before on my mirracast device before on an older firmware. Where it had connection issues when I was connected to a WiFi network.
I connect my note 4 to my samsung tv pretty easily, but they are both samsung so that might make a difference. However when I connect my phone to my WD live box, I fequently get the same thing you do. If I reset the box I can get it to work for awhile but then the errors cone back. It seems like it should work easily. I'm still working out the bugs but will report back if I fix it. For future reference, if you root your note, it seems that the stock kerenel is best for mirroring. Custom kernels may need some items added to the build. Prop to get it to work properly.
Edit: you motivated to find a solution! For my device, and I havent tested yet, but a suggestion was made that both devices be on wifi. My WD is hard wired. Is your sony? That could make a difference.
Thanks for the suggestions but so far nothing works. The Note 4 attempts to connect but always fails. It's surprising how easily the S4 connects yet the Note 4 can't. I wonder what Samsung did in the newer version that would cause the error.
Anyone having issue unable to screen cast from Google Home to chromecast? It will disconnect immediately upon clicking the screen cast button. There is no issue casting directly from apps such as youtube etc, but I want to mirror cast my screen. It works previously on my S7 Edge and Note 7...
Thanks!
Did it yesterday, it works just fine. Had the same issue you're describing with my S7E occasionally. Would kill the Home app and reboot the Chromecast, then it would start working.
Works for me. After I reset chromecast, but I'm sure it was my flaky CC not the phone?

Hmm I did a factory reset on the Chromecast, still the same problem. I even reinstall the Google Home. It shows "Disconnect" immediately after I click cast screen, damn annoying..

I've been researching this problem for the past week. What i've gathered so far is that some process interferes with mirroring after my phone has been running for a while... If I restart my phone, or chromecast - it works no problems. It also works casting netflix, youtube, etc. I have a samsung TV, and when i try to connect my phone through TV, it also works. I called Chromecast yesterday, thinking that it could be a defective chromecast device, but it works other than the above issue. So I think that some process gets activated some time shortly after phone reboot, and that's why when i press 'cast screen/audio' from Home app, it says 'disconnecting', because some other process is already working... I will be calling Samsung Tech support tonight, to see if they have any clue, although i don't get my hopes up. If their tech support guys are the same as their customer service reps, I won't get far with them.
I also tried any and all settings changes that i could think of, and nothing works. The best solution for me is either to restart my phone prior to mirroring, or just connect from TV to the phone (it works that way), not from phone to TV. If I figure out a solution, I'll try to update. I have a similar thread on Android Central in Note 8 General section that i started Sunday, 10/15/2017. No one seems to know the solution, and not many people have encountered this (you are the first person that i found with the same problem other than myself).
Just found this app by Samsung called "ScreenMirroring Patch", will try out after work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...patch&hl=en&rdid=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch

My networks are the same - Chromecast and the phone. I had the problem you had previously, it would continuously drop the connection... This isn't the same problem, it just says ' connecting' and never does if i try to mirror my screen through Smart View (in my quick settings panel), or 'disconnecting' if i select 'cast screen/audio' through Home app.

This is the exact problem that I am having and the same resolution that I came to. I literally have to restart my phone every time I go to cast. I've had an issue where I left it casting for a while, but the phone seemed to forget and shut it off. The stream was still going on the Chromecast, but I could not disconnect with my phone via Netflix or through the Home app. After I rebooted, I was able to disconnect through the Home app.
I searched for a bout 10 days after I got my phone and found nothing about this. No answers, not even a mention of anyone else having the issue. I really thought I was the only one.

So I spoke to Samsung + Tech support, and they didn't know what the problem was. They offered for me to send in my device for repairs. I am kind of hesitant since i don't know if that would fix the problem, and it will take 9-11 business day, i don't have a decent phone to use for 2 weeks... He also suggested that it was a software bug, and that i wait for software update. Since we should be getting Oreo by the end of the year (fingers crossed), maybe i just wait until we get an update and see if it's fixed. I did a factory reset on Friday, but didn't check for the issue right away, only after installing all of my apps. Really don't know what to do... Hopeful that someone else discovers the solution - or concrete cause. Oh well... I will never buy directly from Samsung again. Verizon would have sent me a replacement, and I would have it in 2 days, and wouldn't be without a phone for 2 weeks.
I was curious so I tried screen mirroring to my Amazon Fire TV. Tries to connect but fails. My Note 8 will say connecting to Fire TV & my Fire TV will say connecting to Note 8 but it fails & disconnects.
I don't think wifi type has anything to do with it. My Note 5 screen mirrors fine & my Note 5 is connected to 2.4ghz & my Fire Tv is connected to 5ghz.
Tried restarting my Note 8 & even tried connecting it to the 5ghz also, no luck. I never use it but damn, just knowing that it doesn't work is not good for my health!
I recently added an exchange account, and remember a while back some phone options weren't available because they weren't secure enough and not allowed by exchange policy. I removed the account, cleared cache, and restarted the phone. It worked (usually does after a restart),but I'll will check again tomorrow
I did a search (outside of XDA) & it appears that a lot of people are having this problem with the Note 8, S8 also. I tried changing the resolution on both my Note 8 & Fire TV, still no luck for me but some say it worked for them.

So I changed my screen resolution to 450 as in the instructions in the picture, and haven't restarted the phone since about 8pm last night, and it works, it mirrors without restart - thank you!
Edit: I also removed my Exchange account, so that could have also been the cause
My other question is how to disable volume limiter when watching videos - any type, Netflix, showbox? I can disable it for headphones or Bluetooth through sound settings, but not for videos through the phone's speaker. Thanks in advance

I think I spoke too soon . Yesterday it worked all day from the day before, but this morning I tried to connect, and no luck. Oh well... I think it's a software bug. Hopefully they'll fix it in Oreo
I am running a Pixel XL 1 with Oreo and having this problem, anyone find a solution?
Is it possible to prevent the update to 8.0?
I've read conflicting stories, some say turn off auto download and just ignore the update messages.
Others say the upgrade will install regardless.
Which is it?
It's preventable to some extent i guess... But it pops again and again... And then the system is going to get buggy.... Any particular reason not to upgrade....

You can untick the option but some people reported it eventually installed anyways. To be safe I would disable the specific packages, but yes it's possible.

Thanks buddy, how do you disable the packages?
If your using a carrier unlocked version you can simply move to a different carrier and if your drivers are not up to date you will never get a notification to update. I currently have an ATT unlocked note 8 running on T-Mobile still on 7.1.1 as you can see
I prevented the updates by not allowing autoupdates in settings, as I knew that this was not entirely reliable, I used bk disabler pro plugin, if you are still running 7.1.1, it is easy to do it this way
Any reason why you don't want to install the latest version of Android on your device? As you are leaving your device opened to security flaws.

I spend a lot of time in my car inbetween appointments, visiting clients etc.
Its important that I'm up to speed at work and the Note 8 was (until oreo and 1st October patch) the only device that gave me email, sms and system messages in my BMW.
Whilst driving, the car would read out my emails and if it was important I could make a call in response. Now, my note 8 doesn't even see the car, nothing, zilch, nada.
I know BT works on other pairings, I can pair the phone to my other devices but it just will not see the car and the car now won't see the phone. I can pair other phones to it but none of them give me email which is molto importante!
I have already updated the car BT and like I've said, it used to work up until a month ago.
So, I'm trading in my note 8 for a new one that is still on 7.1.1 as I'm dead in the water without connectivity whilst travelling.
I have been on with Samsung support who say BMW need to make an updated BT oreo firmware and, BMW say the same about Samsung.

Have you tried booting your device into Recovery Mode and wiping the cache partition? This may resolve your issue.

Yeah tried that.
Also stopped BT and wiped cache and data from apps > system apps also.
Tried different BT AVCRP versions from developer mode and have factory reset the phone.
Still won't connect.
Do you encounter the same issues when connecting your Note 8 to other bluetooth devices or bluetooth enabled vehicles?

Works fine in my wife's car (Ford) and the Polar heart rate monitor I use. I don't connect to much else but I can see other devices in a BT search, but not my car.

Do other devices see your car? It might be an inconveniently timed problem with your BMW, rather than the other way around?

Can you get a hold of another Note 8 running Nougat and trying pair that with your BMW? If it is indeed an Oreo issue I would recommend that you report it to Samsung and wait for them to address it via a OS Update.

I prevented the updates by not allowing autoupdates in settings, as I knew that this was not entirely reliable, I used bk disabler pro plugin, if you are still running 7.1.1, it is easy to do it this way

Where can I find this?
Seems to have gone from play store...
Yes.... I took a look, and unfortunately even in the developer's page it is no longer available, and it can not be installed from an unofiicial source as it needs to be validated and activated by the developer, but, take a look at this:

Apologies if this is the wrong section. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 on Verizon. A few months ago I had a Kenwood DMX906S installed in my car. Up until Verizon rolled out the Android 10 Update, I was able to use Smart View to wirelessly screen mirror to my Kenwood. With the update, the Smart View app was also updated to v8.1.32. I'm not sure what it was before, but looking through the previous APKs, I'm thinking it was version 7.x.x.
So now, I'm unable to share to my Kenwood. Other support forums have shown that people are having the same issues with Sony Bravia TVs and other TVs as well. I have contacted Kenwood and they said it's not really their issue and they might look at releasing a firmware update at some point.
So, I've looked on APK Mirror and have been able to find previous versions of the APK, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the current version because it's a built in app. And even if I try to just install a more recent version available on APK Mirroring (8.1.40) it gives me a simple error that the APK wasn't installed. More than that, I'm not certain if the problem stems from an issue with the Smart View app itself or if it's a setting somewhere in the new Android 10 Update that I'm overlooking. Any help would be appreciated.
Same issue with a Kenwood dmx9706s and gs9+
I contacted Samsung nine times. They want me to send my phone in. They don't get it. Kenwood says sorry not our problem. Verizon says we don't do software. Crutchfield says, yes we know you bought that receiver last week. But it's discontinued now. And try Samsung.
It seems like something in wifi direct is broken. I also tried the newer apks and they would not install.
Didn't work for me but...
I have a galaxy z flip and my device will connect but only displays a zoomed in section of my homescreen. But I found on a reddit thread that a lot of people were able to get their smart view to work again after resetting network settings. You will lose saved wifi passwords, etc. but I felt it worth trying even though my problem didn't exactly match up. But if your problem is not being able to connect at all then that was a fix that worked for quite a few people. Hopefully it works for you, now I'm off to continue my search for a solution to my seemingly on off problem.
verizon or samsung update?
