[Q] Album art over BT / A2DP - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hope its ok to start a post, did a search and couldn't find anything..
I've just got a new car and have music streaming working from the phone, but the car supports the display of album art on the console screen, which i can't get to display. This apparently works fine with iphones. Does anyone know if the S5 supports album art over BT / A2DP ? anyone got it to work ?
Stock vodafone firmware.

Remote controls of Bluetooth headset only works with HTC and WM players

In the HD, the remote controls (AVRCP) of my bluetooth headset only works with TouchFLO 3D player and Window Media player, but they do not work with any other player.
Did someone notice the same problem? Does anybody know how to solve it?
My previous phone was a Polaris and I did not have that problem.
Bluetooth problems
I'm have exactly the same problem.
My previous phone - an Orbit 1 worked flawlessly with AVRCP (was running the Vanilla rom by meschle). I though it might have been a problem with my car kit (Parrot MK6100) as when I press play to activate the Wireless Streaming, Windows Media appears on screen. I then have to close Windows Media and load Coreplayer. On my Orbit, the Wireless Stream icon would appear and nothing else - as it should.
In my wife's car, she has a Sony unit with Bluetooth built in and again when I press play, WM appears (yuck).
That's another reason why I've been trying to find a way of preventing the Touch HD from loading the rom extra after a Hard Reset. Maybe some HTC app is messing the Bluetooth controls up.

AVRCP
The problem is independent of the A2DP bluetooth audio device. I also have a Sony radio unit with bluetooth in my car, and the problem repeats there.
Does anybody know how to solve it?
AVRCP
It seems the problem is not new. It also appears in other HTC phones with TF3D. I found this thread in the diamond forum:

Pocket Player
Apparently the problem has been solved in last version of Pocket Player (3.71):

I can confirm this problem in combination of my HD + core player + DS980
Fast forward and rewind with Pocket Player
Does anyone has an idea how to make fast farward and rewind possible by bluetoth-remote-control-inputs in combination with PocketPlayer 3.7? I can only go to next and last track - if I hold the button nothing happens :-(

But, what if I want to use another player, like Coreplayer?
Pocket player features are cool, but it also uses some more amount of cpu and memory resources.
I guess currently the only way is to disable TF3D. Is it?

Can someone verify an A2DP bug for me?

I'm running the R2 version of the official firmware, and if someone with an A2DP car stereo could confirm this bug with sony media manager i'll try and find out how to report it to sony...
1) pair phone with car (obviously)
2) get car to connect as handsfree
3) Get car to connect as a2dp
4) play music using media manager (through car)
5) Turn off engine (and so the stereo)
6) Phone tries to play through car still (this is to be expected)
7) press pause on media manager (it will look like it paused)
8) some time sortly after the phone realises the handsree isn't there and the supposedly paused music comes on loudspeaker.
9) it is now impossible to stop the music and media manager thinks it's paused...
10) Usually I restart the phone at this point...
confirmed, i even have to leave the panel as just pausing still locks up the phone. Anybody knows if this is fixed in R2? (I'm on VF DE and theres no update yet)
Haven't run into this issue myself, I use stereo headphones, not car stereo. I usually exit back to today screen when I'm done with music anyway so I wouldn't have run into this issue. I'll test this more on my phone to see if I can recreate the problem.
Sony's media panel has other BT issues as well, such as not supporting button presses on my headphones to switch tracks or fast forward.
I can confirm this also on my UK R1A.
Connect Sony HBH-IS800 head phone and play music via media panel.
While playing, turn off bluetooth via comm manager or in bluetooth setting.
Now the media panel plays via the on hardware speaker.
Play and Pause icon toggles when pushed by music keeps playing.
Nothing I can do other then soft-reset.

(not fixed.)
Thanks for the confirmation guys,
@turnstar: it's related to bluetooth, so if you use wired headsets you won't experience the problem.
Now then, how do we officially tell sony it needs fixing?

Report this to your X1 Support in your country. Its in the X1 Support card in your box, or find this in the SE website.
i'am very shocked that X1 having poor audio streaming when using HBH-IS800. it happens when i typing text messages and put x1 lil bit far to the left side of my body, the audio streaming will drops frequently. FYI, im using R2AA010 Generic UK.
FYI
I had problems with lots of drop outs on my HBH-IS800s paired with my C905. I assumed the problem was with the headset as it works fine with another SE bluetooth headset I have. I returned the headset.

A2DP controls with Sense music player?

Hi guys
Unlike some of our friends here, I've had no problems getting music to play through my bluetooth car stereo. However, I'm wondering whether or not it's possible to get A2DP controls (play/pause etc) to work from my stereo with sense music player. Windows media player works fine so I'm assuming its not a config/connection problem. I'd prefer to use the sense music player because (apart from ease of access via tab) i think it's far better than WMP.
Any thoughts?
BTW I'm using a Tevion brand bluetooth car stereo. Bought from Aldi (£50 - a bargain) though I'm not sure what model because the wife currently has the car.
Cheers

[Q] Music autostarts on Bluetooth connection

Hi everyone,
I have seen a few threads for other phones, but could not find a solution for the problem I have...
When I get in my car the phones connects to Bluetooth (which is perfectly fine), but it also automatically starts the music player. And that's the problem - I don't use music player (stream music instead) and I don't need it to start the player with only one track there...
I went through each and every setting in the phone menu as well as in Music player menu - I could not find any settings to turn this freakingly annoying feature off...
Have anyone been able to switch this thing off? Any advice is appreciated!

[Q] Problem with track info over bluetooth with spotify

Hi people!
I have a strange problem with mi car, my mobile and playing throught bluetooth with spotify, let's see if someone can help me a little
Car: Seat Leon 3 with multimedia audio system A2DP + AVRCP (unknown version)
Mobile: Samsung Galaxy S5 4.4 / 5.0
App: Spotify (lastest)
Spotify audio works over car's bluetooth, also play/pause/next/etc... but the problem is that TRACK INFO is not showing on Media System Screen. But, if I open Samsung stock player, play a song, stop it without closing it and then play again with spotify, now it works but without timelapse of the song.
Anyone could explain me whats wrong and how to solve it? It's doing the same with android 4.4 and 5.0, I couldn't try other phones already.
Thanks you all mates!
no one knows what's happening? Spotify track info is working in your cars mates?
Thanks!
your AVRCP version is too high. go into setting developer mode and change AVRCP cu 1.4 or 1.3
