sony XAV-701BT

Hi All

so running a S4 i9505 with non rooted version 4.2.2

and my headunit is a Sony XAV-701BT

i have installed the modded apk on page 18 and it works as expected, but for some reason it only shows the track info for the first song i play .... as soon as the song changes then it goes to blank until i disconnect and reconnect to the headunit...

tested the headunit with ios device with spotify and it works fine as expect.. ggggrrrrr

head unit is on the latest firmware

also the screen rotation and sdcard storage works fine ( don't know if that is still a problem)

any idea's?

I have just installed this on CyanogenMod 10.2 unofficial nightlies, and I can confirm that is now working with the Bluetooth enhancements in 4.3

Is there a brand new version of this out yet? Play Store days latest version is Aug 1.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] DanMc85:
Same version, they just modified the description a little bit, already double checked. Both .270
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] plastikowl:
Thanks, I was confused because I have additional menu options now..and didn't even think to check the version #...DERP. I still can't believe AVRCP isn't standard with Spotify.

See here...

Can confirm I have these options on my phone.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] gloscherrybomb:
I have the same situation with my Audi A1 MMI. I guess it is an Audi MMI issue rather than with the apps ability to send info via AVRCP. Works with iphone I believe but not with Android.

Rename the .zip to .apk
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] TT_Vert:
Thanks, I should have tried that before posting. I think the kia optima has the same problem as the audi. Everything works w/ an Iphone but not android. I'm going to try these modified apps today and report back. I know my pioneer AVIC head unit displays pandora META info just fine in one of my cars yet the OEM head unit doesn't display anything. Oddlly im running an old version of pandora (1.5) which shouldn't display this info even on the AVIC from what I've been reading.

I'm having the same issue except I have a JVC kd-x50bt headunit, and my S4 is rooted. Must be an issue with the S4 and certain headunits. Hopefully someone can figure it out.

Don't work on Alpine CDA-9887R

Track ID remains blank...

That's soooo BAD 'cos I love to download playlists and listen them offline in the car.

Obviously I don't look to hte phone while driving! So sometimes I miss the artist or the song name...

Play/Pause and skip do work normally.

Tried on Ford Fiesta (EU) with FordAudio-PSS and a SGS III 4.1.1 stock:

Track ID is now visible !!! :)

Also the buttons "Shuffle" "Repeat" and "Scan" are enabled on the PSS but not working (they act on the default player instead of on Spotify)

anyway it's a great step ! Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tiltratt:
Just tried this, no go on a Pioneer DEH-4500BT and a HTC OneX all the controls work allright.. but i get no songinfo on the display. :(

It's just to install the app right? no further actions needs to be taken on phone or stereo to get this working?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Saiyajin:
Thats because the DEH-4500BT does only support AVRCP 1.1 which enables you only to use the controls. I have the same headunit.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tiltratt:
Damn.. thanks for the info.. but still..DAMN!!! i just bought it 4 days ago :(

Atleast now my OH won't notice if i replace it :p
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ConD_FIN:
Thank you for this great mod!

Just installed this to my stock HTC One because i had AVRCP issue with spotify. I have a VW RCD510 head unit with OEM BT system and before this mod RCD510 only showed ID tags for the MP3's i had on my phone memory.

However, after installing this mod, i do have spotify tags showing just as it should be! Spotify should learn something from this mod!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] WireJunky:
No dice. I have a Galaxy S3 and a VW RCD510 and lose still don't get track info. I am using Android 4.2 via CM 10.1.2.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Flaiker:
Using 4.3 Nexus 4. If I stream music via Spotify nothing is displayed. Before 4.3 it said "Nexus 4 Bluetooth" or sth. So I assume the data gets transmitted but it's just empty. When I launch Play Music it displays song info fine and if I start Spotify after that it also displays the song info just fine as if something needed to be initialized.

Does this mod fix this issue I have?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mddsd:
Is it correct to assume that Sony Xperia Z does not support AVRCP with song information (version 1.3 and above)?

There's no problem controlling my phone through AVRCP so version 1.0 is definitely supported, but as far as song information goes, there's no info sent via the modded Spotify app. Although if I use the Sony Walkman app, song information is sent to the car stereo. I read in this thread that that's probably hack made by Sony in the Walkman app...

I guess my only option is to wait for Android 4.3 which should support AVRCP 1.3 or is there something I could do to add support for AVRCP 1.3 (besides using a custom rom)?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Flaiker:
By the way this APP doesnt seem to work with 4.3 yet. I get parsing error when trying to install.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] moelito:
Yes, unfortunately. Xz only supports avrcp 1.0, except for the Sony apps (Walkman, movies).

Any suggestions , please ?

Runs fine on my HTC One GPE 4.3
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Flaiker:
Got it now, needed to uninstall and clear cache of normal Spotify.

Edit: It doesnt work. I have the same functionality as if I was using the normal Spotify App except for I cannot login using facebook anymore. The stock Spotify app also had the same issue for me: If you start playing music with your bluetooth device the song name, artist, album etc. are blank. They only show up once you started playing a song on Google Play Music and switching back to Spotify as if something needed to be initialized that Spotify simply forgets to do. Any solution to this?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] DanMc85:
Uninstall google play music... someone else had that issue... he said it like takes over your music control on your phone, i personally have not used it.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] riahc3:
Source for this?

Never mind. You are completely and 100% incorrect: Here is Pioneer's official manual: http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/121/DEH-4500BT/media.html

If you search thru it, you clearly see that it supports 1.3

Please search for spreading bull****.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Flaiker:
Didnt change anything. Where the song info should be it is still empty.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mantici:
RTFM

DanMc85 is the king. . . this mod works and works well. Not really his fault if it doesn't for EVERY device and headunit.

that said. . .kinda tired of reading "it doesn't let me log in with Facebook" he explains that -- read the post where you downloaded the file!!!. . . and why on earth are do we all think Facebook is the ONLY way to log in to things.

Everyone needs to learn to read the f$%#&* manual .

TY DAN for this mod.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] gentuxable:
Thanks!

Your mod works like a charm on my HTC One with a pebble smartwatch and MusicBoss App. Now I can see what's playing on my watch. Thanks a lot and I hope that if Spotify ltd. contacts you, it'd be great if your patch would make it into their source repo so that we can go the official route again!

Hey, I've tried streaming audio with modded version of spotify to my car radio Blaupunkt MP68 Hamburg. I am able to play prev/next song but track info is not showing up.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] DanMc85:
I uploaded a newer version, let me know how it works... It works on my HTC One just fine, but I just got the new Galaxy Note 3 and bluetooth crashes when I use it, apparently Samsung is using different API calls and I don't know if I want to take the time to figure them out.

As the new version only has a few downloads
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Flaiker:
Well, it still doesnt work for me. I have the same problem that I stated last time I tried it.

The bluetooth unit I have "shows" the metadata because if there is none sent it says "Nexus 4" on there but the fields are empty, so the metadata that is sent is just not filled with information. If I launch Google Play music and start playing one song it shows that just fine. And if I switch back to Spotify after that then it works perfectly fine. I guess it overrides the not working metadata filling function or something like that.

I tried uninstalling Google Play Music, that did not fix it.

I am aware of this... I wish it was an easy fix but for now it will not work on a Note 3... I have a Note 3 myself and cannot use this mod.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] AKARaccoon:
unfortunately, I can't get this to work either. I have a Subaru as well, so I was hoping that it would definitely work. But that seems to not be the case. I am playing radio however instead of offline songs, so that might be the case. I'm not sure how everyone else is using the Spotify app.I clear both the cache and the data, uninstalled and installed your version of the app but it still doesn't work.

Just a headsup, there's a 407 version released 2 days ago, didn't know spotify iterated that fast. FWIW, official changelist:

New: Now you can filter sub-genres in Browse.

New: We've extended the new releases section.

Fixed: We've banished more bugs and bad things.

Edit: just tested with HTC One on 4.2.2 and Audi MMI system, contrary to earlier reports it works perfectly, thanks!

Hi

Latest spotify 0.7.1.407 realese works in my S4 with 4.3 but no metadata
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] saskwatch:
I don't know that Spotify changed anything on their end. 4.3 brought an upgraded version of AVRCP (1.3 I believe). I think that is why we are seeing metadata in our displays with the unmodded Spotify app.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Geggan:
Do you get trackinfo, artist etc with the latest UNMODDED varsion of Spotify?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] saskwatch:
Yes. In fact, I was getting that info before the latest version of Spotify. I bought thr new Nexus 7 when it first came out. It had 4.3. I was getting metadata displayed in my car out the box, when normally I would have to use this modded version.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] DanMc85:
I know some of the HTC devices will display Metadata from any music app as HTC built in universal metadata support... not sure on others.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] saskwatch:
My HTC One did not show Spotify metadata until the 4.3 update.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Pfhortune:

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] KePTeiN:

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] saskwatch:
Perhaps Samsung chose not to update the AVRCP
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Pfhortune:
If that's the issue, I wonder if there's a system apk we can install to add that functionality...
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] saskwatch:
I am sure the AVRCP will get updated for the Note 2 and the G4. After all, the next update is to support the Galaxy Gear watch which uses the low power Bluetooth profile. It is just a guess that the AVRCP will get refreshed as a part of that.

On my Nexus 7 2013 4.3 the stock Spotify client from playstore works perfect with AVRCP.

On my S4 with 4.3 it don't, so probably you should blame Samsung instead of Spotify?

Alternative method

[MENTION=2749688]mcuser[/MENTION]:

The original Spotify app is not working for me with Nexus 7 2013 (Stock), Galaxy S4 and a Pebble. No metadata at all :/

I created a simple app which is using the notification of spotify when changing the title or play/pause. So it is just sending information about title and artist for now. Tested it with a Galaxy S4 (CM10.2) and Nexus 7 2013 with original Spotify app and a Pebble as bluetooth device - works well for me :) The apk file is attached in this post. If you want, you can try it.

I hope it's ok to post an alternativ method/"solution" here.

edit: Updated version available. Unfortunately I can't get the album name information. So theres a method to change the album placeholder ("cmcdev | metafy" is the standard one).

Changelog v1.1:

- set cusom album placeholder

- add notificationlistener service for android 4.3 or higher, disable the accessibility service and use the new service if you have android 4.3. This should solve some talkback issues.

- new app icon
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] toxiciti:
So this is something that can be fixed? I would really love for my note 3 and spotify to work on my vehicle display. If this does get addressed will I need to root my phone to install the hacked spotify app?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Master_falco:
Great work man, works great with my pebble on a stock 4.3 Nexus 4

As far as I know, you just need to uninstall the official app, enable unknown sources and install the modified version.

Hi. I just found this great site. I have an Xperia Z1 and installed the app, unfortunatley artist info still does not work with this app. Is it because a upgrade in the AVRCP, that my device maybe has not yet implemented? i get info in my car with the "walkman" app, just not with Spotify.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] KePTeiN:
Thanks by the app but not work in my Galaxy S4 stock :crying:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ptitneo:
Really awesome! Works really well on my N4. Any reason why you are not sending the album info? Any plans to push this on the play store? Thanks a lot micp2k.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Flaiker:
If you look at the Spotify notification you can see that there is no album info displayed there so no way to get it.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] micp2k:
Do you have a 4.3 stock rom installed? Maybe some change in this rom is causing the problem, like crashing the modified spotify version posted here.

As [MENTION=5302820]Flaiker[/MENTION] mentioned, the app is just parsing the notification message. The message unfortunately only contains title and artist. I tried to parse the entire view placed in the notification center but this is not working. Maybe the notification access feature of android 4.3 will work for that.

I am considering to push the app to the play store. But for now there is no schedule or detailed plan for this.

That is weird. I am using swype and have no issues :/ Maybe you could try an other keyboard.

Thanks for the feedback and trying the app ! :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ptitneo:
Ok that's the one I was talking about. I didn't notice that the standard notification wasn't displaying the album nor did I know that you couldn't parse the sticky interactive one, sorry for the confusion. Thanks for answering in details and offering such a convenient, plug and play workaround.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] KePTeiN:

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] jocoze:
Thanks so much for this alternative method. My stereo never wanted to play nice with the modded Spotify app, but this one is now displaying the info.

Quick question. I don't know if this is my stereo or the Metafy app, but the song info displays perfectly, but the artist info is always prefixed bye "METAFY / CMDEV /" I didn't know if that is something that has to be in there due to the way the app pulls the notification info, or if my stereo is just odd.

Thanks again though. This is a really clever way to help those of us out that couldn't get this working before.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] micp2k:
Ok, then the method i use to send information is not working on this devices :/ I am using the snippet from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2323103

The talkback starts working, because this app is in fact an accessibility service, but doesn't do more than using the spotify notification.

That's not the fault of your stereo, it is the metafy app. the "metafy | cmcdev" is used as a placeholder for the album string. So I think your stereo is showing the information like "albumname / artistname" - you could verify this with the send test data function. I will try to get the album information from the notification so this placeholder can be replaced with the real albumname :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] KePTeiN:
A pity, do not you plan to do a similar app for 4.3?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] micp2k:
In general the app is working on 4.3. This seems to be a issue with the stock samsung rom. I don't think that I'm able to fix this, sorry :/

Are other music players are working/send metadata via avrcp (e.g. google play music) on your device? Maybe it's a general issue with the stock rom.

In my original post I added an updated version with notificationlistener service support for android 4.3 or higher. Also it is possible to set a custom album placeholder (should be good if you have a device which everytime shows the album name like [MENTION=3922783]jocoze[/MENTION] or just want to change this :D)
