Hey what’s going on guys. Has anyone been able to find a way to display meta data on the Bluetooth ad2p app?
I currently use the MTCD until service that’s on the play store that pulls out the data and displays Bluetooth data (app requires root but the Bluetooth data displayed does not) (Arthur, song name, time remaining) but would prefer to have it in the stock app or as a notification/widget.
Currently running 2.95 HA and Hal9k’s Mod

An amazing One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
Would you mind sharing a code snippet on how you achieve this? I've been working on a little program that I intend to use around the house and this is the missing piece that I can't figure out. Basically, I have some NFC tags spread around the house and a receiver app that triggers various actions. One of them enables bluetooth on my device (if off), turns on my home audio receiver (over telnet), connects to the receiver's A2DP device (this is the missing piece), and launches a music app.
I've seen examples where this works using an AIDL method, but from what I've gathered this no longer works under Android 4.2. Does your app work on 4.2? Any hints you can provide?
Thanks!

I'm not the writer of this app.
You could try contacting them via the email listed on Google Play.
BTW, while you're making your app, please dedicate a thread to it on XDA so we can all beta test and buy it later!

Oh, OK. I just assumed this was your app.
After reading the Play Store description more carefully, I don't think this app actually does what I'm trying to do (programmatically establish an A2DP connection). It appears this app enables / disables certain profiles but the actual connection is still handled by the OS.
As far as the app I'm making, I was intending it to just be something for personal use. I'm planning on keeping it very lightweight and tailored specifically to my needs. For it to be used by anyone else they would have to have the same brand of A/V receiver as me (Pioneer) that supports the same telnet commands. Most of the rest of the functionality of the app can be duplicated by using some of the existing NFC apps like NFC Task Launcher. If I ever develop it into something interesting that could be used by a wider audience I probably will post it on XDA for feedback though.
Hi All, I am a Galaxy S5 user and I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the UConnect infotainment package. Both work really well together. However, I am running into scenarios where I only want "some" of my phone media apps to run through the bluetooth. Here is an example:
While driving and listening the the radio AM/FM/XM (whatever), I may also have my phone running waze to alert me of traffic or red light cameras etc . But when Waze tries to send an audio alert, I do not hear it because my infotainment source is "radio" instead of Bluetooth at that moment.
The obvious answer is to only pair the phone for phone function and skip the media pairing, but there are also plenty of times when I do want to listen to phone media through the infotainment (spotify etc). The phone-only pairing would limit that ability.
So I am seeking a phone app that can apply policy to the phone's "media" apps to determine which ones play over bluetooth and which play through the phone's speakers. Does anyone have a suggestions?
Hello,
I have a simple case:
- I have PX5 radio in car
- and Huawei Mate 20 Lite as a phone
Both devices are paired with bluetooth.
Since PX5 radio is full Android device that can run Google Play apps itself.
I would like to use bluetooth only for calling and as trigger for Tasker(start WiFi hotspot).
But since it is possible my phone sends also multimedia sound(but it won't be played on radio, since specific app for A2DP is not working - and I'm fine with that), I would like my phone to simply play multimedia itself, not via bluetooth.
I know it is possible in vanilla Android(https://fscl01.fonpit.de/userfiles/6983662/image/androidpit-lollipop-bluetooth-forget-w628.jpg) but since Huawei has it's "awesome" custom settings menu it is not there, do You guys have any idea how to change that settings?
ADB or any application would be great.
I'm not interested about any solution with root.
Apparently there is small "i" button on the right of paired device in bluetooth settings - not that easy to click(because when I tried to hit it for a first time I couldn't hit it correctly - that why I created that topic) - where You can change what sound is passed via bluetooth.
Hi all,
do you know how to resolve problem with android auto on Mi 10T Pro?
When I connect phone to my car I cannot run app e.g. Spotify - I see on car monitor "Spotify doesn't seem to be working at the moment".
When I run spotify on mobile manualy - my car see it. It is with all apps like Google Podcasts or TuneIn etc... the same error, but if you run app from mobile I can manage it from my car monitor with android auto.
Thank you for replay!

Hello,
my car's radio is capable of displaying album covers, when I play music stored on a USB device. But when I stream exactly the same music file via BT, only the standard icon "unknown album" is displayed. There are a few options concerning BT in the developers options in LOS 17.1. Is there any option among these that could make my car radio display the album covers?

Yes, I am aware of that. The question is: can this meta data be transferred via BT at all, or is this not possible / not implemented (yet), or does it depend on the BT version and/or some included protocol?
And in case it's the last option: are there any arguments in LOS, that can be tweaked to make the meta data being transferred?
