Bluetooth car stereo metadata after 4.3 upgrade - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Since the 4.3 upgrade NO music player will reliably pass metadata information to my car stereo. If lucky I get the title etc of the first song but then that's it.Music plays fine and no issues there but the track/artise/album information is never updated. I've tried Poweramp, N7 player, GoneMad player and the Sony Walkman APK. However, the stock music player has no issues and works like a charm so It must be a software problem that stops the others from working with the new BT stack.
Does anyone have any idea what's causing this or how it can be fixed?
Thx

I have talked to Gonemad Dev and he says it is a 4.3 issue not his. The stock Samsung player passes title/track/artist/album just fine. Gonemad will do all but track. When it goes to next track, the HU will not update. It all worked fine before 4.3. Crazy Huh?? I was stock 4.1.2 on my Gal Note 2 and now i am stock 4.3

I just wish one of the developers would look at it and work out why this has changed. It's not like I can work out why the stock player works fine and all others do not.

Gonemad has released an update that for the most part fixed the BT Metadata issue. Metadata is now transmitted and changes track/s

Couldn't find one but the latest version is working better now EXCEPT for the first song in any folder. The metadata is never sent for the first song but for all others it seems OK.
Gonemad doesn't work for me. Is there a special setting required to make the Metadata work?
TIA

Try to re sync to your car. It works for me using a GNote2 .it is a systemic issue from Samsung with the 4.3 update. Their player works great just doesn't have lots of features. I love gonemad and talk to the dev all the time. Submit a bug report and tell him about this issue. He is very helpful.

[Q] music stops

Hello,
Since HC 3.1 (I don't remember with 3.0.1) when i'm listening an album, the music player don't go to the next song when the screen is off. The music stops ! I have to wake up the tablet and then the player goes to the next song. It's quite irritating.
When I google this issue, I find out a lot of threads. This issue is known for a very long time now and for a lot of devices. It's because such issues that the iPad remains the best !
Do you know a fix ?
My tablet is unrooted.
Thanks.
i use KEEP SCREEN to let the screen on.
Some player like meridian player has an option to keep the screen on .
These informations are very interesting. Thanks.
I use nemoPlayer instead of Music, for this very reason.
NemoPlayer (called Acer Media in HC3.2) has the same issue only in 3.2. It's a shame.
3.2 fix default player
But does 3.2 fix the bug for the music player?
don't know !
no 3.2 for instance

Well isn't that special.
Well, maybe I'll buy PowerAMP when the trial is up.
Have you tried my app, Hive Player? The full version has code in it to prevent sleep, it works fine on my Xoom under Honeycomb 3.2.
Hive Player is awesome!
@nfalletta, your app hive player is awesome! It's so fast. I've only tried the lite version so far but if I knew it would fix it I would sell you my firstborn for the full version
I didn't realize that one of the differences between lite and full was sleep prevention. I'll give it a go tonight.
My experiences are as follows:
default music player - will continue for a random number of tracks, usually gets to the end of the second track, then pauses at the end. Pressing lock/power button on side of tablet will wake the screen and playback will resume.
Hive Player lite - stops after about 15 seconds, which probably relates to the lack of sleep prevention code nfalletta mentioned
AcerMedia - behaves almost identically to the default player
sweetness and sunshine
Hive player (full) has been working for over an hour now
@nfalletta, Sweet app, its the first app I've bought, and easily worth it
I have the same issue with Pandora and Tiny Shark.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get them to work w/o having the screen on.

Great, glad to hear it. I was going to also suggest the default (googles music player?) should work fine as well, and has the same method of sleep prevention but I guess not! Some tablets are different I guess and not all apps will run that properly, until a fix is made of course. Thanks for buying Hive Player, I should be releasing an update soon for File/Folder support and track sorting for albums.

That's about time. I've bought it but I'm not using ATM because of the missing track sorting. Also the volume is always zero when I start Hive Player.

Same here. Waiting impatiently an upgrade.
Reviving an old thread, but this hasn't been fixed yet has it?
The last update of music.apk (the stock music player from google) fixed the bug.

Isyncr reverses playlists...

So i bought isncr to sync my music & playlists from itunes. It works fine apart from the playlist tracks being inverted i.e. 1st track is now the last track & vice versa. Very odd as when i look at the m3u files they are listed correctly ...
I'm running 3.1 at the mo....
Does anyone know why this happens?

It's because iTunes is a horrible behemoth of garbage piled on garbage. I'm serious.
But the m3u files created by isyncr are correct so nothing to do with itunes... it must be how the samsung music app reads and displays m3u playlists.....?
Does this happen in other music players? My guess is not.
If I recall, this happens with the default player on the Samsung Fascinate, so I'm not surprised that it is happening in another Samsung music player.

I only have the Samsung player installed as it is rather nice. I just wanted to confirm that it was a player issue which it sounds like....Hopefully a future update will fix it....
Anyone know how to overcome this? I have lots of deep playlists which are now in the wrong order :-(
Is there a setting for the Samsung player?

[Q] Viper 4 android not working?

Hey guys! I have a Galaxy S4 on 4.2.2 that i have rooted and used TrulyClean v1.6 (Hardcore version) on!
I recently got the tip to try and install viper4android since it was better than the beats EQ mod i had,
I found out that the same issue I had with the beats eq mod I had with viper4android too.
Whenever I listen to songs in Google Music I cant just change tracks because when the next
track is playing there are no FX at all, just the stock sound! sometimes i gotta let a song repeat 2-3
times before this happens, it is REALLY frustrating and annoying!
I dont know if it's because I have to delete music FX or get another music player,
Whatever it is I know i'd appreciate some help!
Thanks in advance, cheers!

Hi. My i9505 does not recognize viper4android despite I've got it in audio effects. Usually I listen music with samsung player. Might be default player?

I don't know. I think it's a drivers problem. You should unistall the first one and reinstall it according to snapdragon cpu. I followed entire guide but my audio didn't change. Only thing we could do, is to wait for new version.

V4A is awesome with all players except stock..I'm also interested in the fix with stock player..
anyone got VIPER working properly on their i9505?
V4a works fine with mine.. I use poweramp and play music.. However i can not get it to work with samsung player..
I found that mine works from time to time (using Google Music).. the first track doesn't get processed but as the second song starts v4a kicks in sometimes.. I can't really use other players as my music is stored in the Google cloud. .
I went nuts on installing this.
Its great and truly the greatest sound but its tempremental I can get it to work with stock player and google music but it wont.be constantly working.
If one works the other doesnt.

Having the same issue on sacs custom 4.4 v3. It has worked on all after sacs roms but not the 4.4 for whatever reason. I've tried evening I can think of to Foxx over the last few weeks and still no successand I'm really missing viper its by far the best out there. Having the same problem in my Windows 8.1 machine as well.

I have a similar problem with the Allview V1 Viper(a.k.a. Gionee Elife E3/Blu Life Play). I have a custom ROM, Xperia 4.2.2 made by Orochi, and it came with V4A preinstalled. I set everything, I launch walkman, and start a song. For 10 secs, the sound is great, the effects definitely work, then it reverts to stock...
What can I do?
Deezer and Viper4Android
Well, I have a Samsung I9082L and a Xperia C2304, but I'm facing problems with Deezer when using Viper to enhance my Xperia sound. I don't know if it happens with all Xperia phones, but Deezer uses my Xperia audio enhancer as default. I discovered that Xperia audio enhancer and Viper4Android conflict when using Deezer. So I tried disabling Sony audio enhancer (SoundEnhancement.apk) and it happens that I was right... now Viper works as a charm for my Xperia. So, for the people who are having problems using Deezer or Spotify, verify if Deezer uses phone's audio enhancer as default and try disabling it. Do not uninstall it! Just disable at the application options or, if not available, freezing with Link2SD or TitaniumBackup. Hope it helps.

Bluetooth Media Info: AVRCP 1.3 Question

I recently got a new car that allows song metadata to be displayed on the in-car dashboard when connected to my GNote2 via bluetooth, and to some capacity, yes, it does work. However, it only seems to correctly display the metadata when using the Google Music app, with other apps such as Grooveshark, Music Unlimited, etc. not displaying anything. Is there anything that can be done to fix this problem? My current ROM is Jelly Beans Build 1.
Nothing at all?
Works for me on the stock ROM, so this is probably more of a ROM-based question.

The stock Samsung music player displays metadata and offers full external control over functions (EG: shuffle, repeat). Samsung's own Music Hub doesn't show metadata. It allows external control of forward, back, pause, and play and that's about it. Like someone else said, it's app dependent as the (stock) BT firmware supports it.

Try update to XXUGNH7, If these update can't solve your problem use: Google Play Music
Not OP. But I fixed the same bug by updating it to the latest version available. i9505 international ed. If everything fails, try to flash stock.
