It worked fine for me. I also got the Sony Head Unit in my car (XAV-BT602).

What's really confusing me is that it worked fine even with displaying track titles and so on but somehow (and I really can't figure out what I could have changed) it doesn't work anymore. If someone finds a solution for this I would very appreciate his help.

I suffer from the same Issue that the song information are not transmitted regularly. Only after a reconnect the songinformation is transferred once. I posted this issue in the support forum, but there is no reply up to now :( So i have left a remark about the support forum's quality ... Let's see

At least I can confirm that audio info via bluetooth works in BMWs, Minis and Kias...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soCram:
But that doesn't help much if you can't test it with the Sony XAV-BT602 e.g.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XQC:
The question from OP was, if audio info via bluetooth works generally. And in my case(s), it does.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soCram:
Sure. But I think we got enough "It works here" messages ;)

A solution would be much more appreciated.

BT is working too in my car- but the name of the played songs are not updated if a new one started - It didn't happen with my "old" SGS+ and different custom Roms - the song titles are always displayed in the right manner...

So All these car show always the right titles ? :confused:

Sry - haven't read your former post - Do you use audible and if so can you confirm that audibles information are also transferred correctly ? And is there any chance to get information about the BT version these car radio uses ? Maybe this is the problem ? And is throw app active during playing songs on the car's radio ? In my case it is activated ...

THX in advance
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soCram:
I already tried to disable Throw (freezed the app) and it didn't help. I'm using the walkman-app normally but also tried the Google Music app which doesn't display any Track titles.

I also updated my radio's firmware with no success. The Galaxy S3 mini I also got to test is working fine.

I have the same issue as well. It's pretty frustrating for sure. When I had my Nexus 5, song titles displayed with no issue.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an1mal_69:
I've recently upgraded from a Z1 to Z3 and discovered no info being displayed on my head unit (602bt), I've been using the Z1 from launch with no issues. Another annoyance is the app cannot be closed in the tab window (as it could on the Z1), you have to goto the app menu and quit from there or it just lingers on the notification bar.

Fingers crossed for a fix with lollipop.. When it finally gets here
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soCram:
Please keep us informed if lollipop solves the issue. Actually I don't want to switch right now because of the lack of my beloved xposed-modules.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apjashley:
That's really interesting, I didn't know the album art worked over Bluetooth too?

My car displays album art for MP3s from a USB drive, but no artwork seems to come through over Bluetooth - though Artist, Track, Album data comes through fine with Google Play Music, Spotify and the Walkman app.

I'd be interested in getting that working!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an1mal_69:
I never got album art from the phone to the headunit..did very little to be honest.

As if by magic however my phone updated to lollipop today and I can confirm track info is being displayed for both the Walkman app and spotify. I did update smartconnect last night too, don't know if that plays any part?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominican2589:
For those of you that do not want to update to Lollipop, this is what I used to fix the song info not showing up in my 2013 Kia Optima - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.xperiabluetoothmediafix

The app was not made to fix it but it did fix it for me.

When I updated to Lollipop, I got rid of the app but then my media players would randomly stop streaming and I would have to reopen the app but it would just keep repeating. I loaded up that app again and it fixed that issue for me.

Hello All,

My uncle has recently came back from china and brought a Hasee E50 S1.

He tried to install Google Play 4.9.13 using an APK file, but anytime I run the play store I get the following error message:

"Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped."

I've googled a lot, no concrete information about the specific device, but many suggestions generally that didn't solve my problem.

At first I deleted the app data and cache, which seem to work until I've tried to download an application from the store and the same error came back. following attempts of this method didn't event get me back to try and download an application.

I tried to install a different version (4.5.10), download APKs of Google Play Services (3.1.36 and 4.4.48) and delete app data and cache again.

I've read that making Play Store a system app might help, but the device is unrooted, and I do not know how to root it.

I have experience in rooting Samsung devices, and maybe an HTC or two, but I didn't find a guide for generic rooting who seemed "safe" enough to try, especially because I didn't find any "unbrick" guide for this device (and no one will probably ever create such a guide...)

I've switched to a different Google account, and too - no change.

More information about the device:

Model number: Hasee E50 S1

Android version: 4.2.2

Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V11.P7, 2013/12/12 21:57

Kernel version: 3.4.5 Thu Feb 27 16:07:13 CST 2014

Build number: Hasee_E50_S1_V1.3

Any help would be appreciated....

Thanks to all those who bothered to read this post,

wipkiko
[XDA Assist] demkantor:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
ActiveSync will only backup your contacts, calendar, tasks, and the files in your "\My Documents" folder. However, to backup everything, you can use a program like Sprite Backup or SPB Backup (both are shareware). I use Sprite Backup personally and I like the way it works for me. Reguardless of the backup program though, make sure that if you are changing the AKU version of your OS that you do not restore a full backup. Read the manual and restore only upgrade backups and the like. Also, the contacts, SMS's, Call timers and such will not restore through an upgrade from AKU 1.x or 2.x to an AKU 3.x system. At least I haven't seen a way to do it yet. Well, I hope this helps a bit ^_^

m8 modified hboot thread
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
It is so hard to re-locate threads between this general HTC One M8 and the variant for the carriers....so I hate adding to repetitive questions in threads....

BUT... I was certain that I read countless times that you could flash recoveries from ADB with bootloader locked provided you had S-off.

And now I am getting this error:

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

I had two updates and wanted to flash stock recovery then reflash TWRP.... I thought it would take 20 minutes tops....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
SO I said f*ck it... no big deal, and I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the stock recovery (btw, I flashed a stock recovery I found in the TMO forums that had a version number identical to the software version I had installed, this is correct right????). I had no problems flashing the stock recovery....so apparently, you need to unlock the bootloader whenever you are flashing recoveries irrespective of whether you have S-off.

But then, I tried to run the OTA, and got the red triangle error....:p — Is this because my bootloader is now unlocked?

This seems to be going against everything I have read numerous times (namely that if you are S-off, the bootloader is not that big of an issue). I am assuming this is because my bootloader is now unlocked... so I will unlock it.

IGNORE
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
Just adding my experiences as I don't want to start another thread with new information...

I have unlocked bootloader

flashed stock recovery

relocked bootloader

went into setting==>apps and enabled the 10 or so apps that I had previously disabled...

I even deleted all downloaded OTA updates and had the phone re-download them again.

However, I still cannot install OTA updates. I know that the standard instructions are to flash a stock rom or restore a nandroid that is stock, but my phone is stock!!! Nothing has touched any of the original software on it other than the stock recovery, which I flashed back on it...

I think my phone is techincally still rooted because it has the SuperSu binary installed... But (again) from everything I read, the way I understood it was that in order to get OTA updates you needed to have stock (or pretty close with no uninstalled/frozen/disabled system apps), and the stock recovery.... AND that is it....

Anyway, I did a fastboot getvar all if that is helpful.... I have pasted it below:

What OTA update are you trying to install?

version-bootloader: 3.18.0.0000 - latest

version-main: 2.22.531.5 - latest

Remove your IMEI from your post.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
I removed it just before I saw your post... but thanks! And thanks for replying.

I am trying to install the 2.22.531.6 OTA software.

I don't know if the bootloader/hboot version has any correlation to the software, but I have not touched anything... I did two updates, then a three days later did HTCDev unlock of bootloader, I flashed TWRP, flashed SuperSU, got Sunshine S-Off, then relocked bootloader. As mentioned I also disabled a bunch of apps. But as of now, I have re-enabled them.

The only variable that wasn't precisely in my control was the stock recovery. I didn't know which one to flash, but made the common sense decision to flash the 2.22.531.5-TMO-Recovery.img since the version number of the recovery matched exactly the version number of the software that is showing on my hboot screen. I thought that was a educated guess that wouldn't be too risky.

I haven't flashed or changed the hboot, or flashed any RUUs....nothing else.

really confused....because aside from the recovery, I didn't touch any of the firmware.

NB: I do have a nandroid that I made that is entitled: 2014-09-24-14-06{whatever) release keys I don't know what release keys means.... I have made a lot of nandroids in my time... 95% of them on HTC devices using TWRP (at least since its inception), and I have never seen a "release keys" appended to the name of an nandroid like that.

I could restore this nandroid... but then I would have to unlock the BL, fastboot flash TWRP, flash SuperSU (although I know TWRP now prompts you which is very cool), then restore the nandroid, fastboot flash the stock recovery, then (apparently) re-lock the bootloader, and get the OTAs.... if the OTAs even work...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Ok stock recovery flashed back is good then, you need to be completely stock to do OTA's i.e If you made changes to the system even removed pre-installed apps like Facebook, Twitter etc you need to restore those back as well. As the OTA will do a verification check to see that all those things are intact before it continues the update. If it's not stock then you're not getting OTA. Bootloader status won't make a difference, you can keep it unlocked.

When you do the OTA and it fails what error does it give? When an OTA gets applied it reboots the system to the stock recovery and proceeds to apply the update, if it fails you can view the error. You can press Volume Up and then TAP the power button and it'll show you the recovery log details at the bottom, there it should tell you what errors you have during the OTA installation.

/system/app/blahblahblah has unexpected contents, or cannot find /system/app/blahblah etc

If it requires missing files etc just get them and add them back on the device. Like I said above, you need to be stock.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
Cool... NEAT trick I didn't know about that...!!! thank you for the tip. They should put that in the documentation with the f*ckin phone.

The recovery/installation log says (in relevant part):

Verifying current sytem. . .

"/system/build.prop" has unexpected contents

Installation aborted.

I thought about why the build.prop would have changes, and remembered that I have an app called Android Tweaker Pro (but it is being renamed since Google now prohibits apks with 'Android' in the name). It requires root to make its tweaks. Its a good app, but it does make a lot of changes to build.prop. But... am pretty sure it has a reset/restore to default option on it... I am going to check and try that.

Will let you know...

Sh*t.... still can't believe I didn't know about the installation log screen... very impressed.

[Recovery] [RUU 2.22.531.6] [TWRP Nandroid Backups] [Radio IMGs][ OTA 2.22.531.6]

There's a stock backup for 2.22.531.5 in there that you can restore to go back to stock for the OTA. Changes to build.prop usually is changes to system. Perhaps you could also try and pull the build.prop from there and restore that and see if it works :confused:

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 AM ----------

They also have the 2.22.531.6 stuff there so just make sure you select the correct versions, it's under the "clickable" buttons so...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
OK.... I used a app called Nandroid Manager (very helpful app) which extracts anything you want from a nandroid. Since I had already disabled the Android Tweaker 2 App, and realized I had an original build.prop in that nandroid, I just extracted that and renamed the old one, and used the extracted one. I did a chmod 644, and then attempted OTA install.. And it went fine! Very nice... A bigger headache then I had anticipated... but it serves me right for forgetting that I had root apps modifying sh*t that I had not considered.

Very big thanks for the tips.

Also...lastly, since I stupidly relocked the bootloader, I am now no longer root but cannot flash TWRP because the BL is locked. I cannot use Scotty1223's method (I don't think) because it requires su permissions in adb shell.

I could probably just use the htc .bin file.... but out of curiousity, is there any easy way to get temp root in this case?

EDIT: Actually.... I would really like to avoid the htc unlock token as that erases the data partition as some kind of existential pennace ordained by HTC for unlocking your bootloader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Glad it worked out :good:

Yeah you can use the unlock binary you had if you went through htc unlock method, or you can just do it again if you want(another headache).

You'll have to read up on temp root methods, I haven't used any at all, so I'm not entirely sure, sorry.

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

Just saw your edit...you're right it'll probably wipe everything again.

Did you get S-OFF with Sunshine? I don't know if maybe there's a way to unlock the bootloader again even if you're already S-OFF :confused: If you didn't then it probably won't be feasible to pAy $25 just to unlock the bootloader, I'd rather then just back up everything and let the data get wiped doing it the HTC way.

Check the Sunshine Thread maybe, they had some discussions in there about temp roots if I recall correctly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
I have been spending the past 2+ hours researching this. Even worse, the HTC token no longer unlocks the bootloader.... So I have this great phone with S-Off, but no way to get root. In my first attempt with chatting with HTC, they said that they "were very sorry but [they] do not support 'unlocking the bootloader' as it is against the warranty". WTF????? I am trying to get though to HTCDev... luckily I didn't change my CID. But I hate waiting for this.... I do a lot of stuff on that phone with root privileges..

I tried adb root, adb root shell, adb shell su, and a whole bunch of combination.... no dice...

There is just no way to hack a way to get temporary root at this point. I have looked... Weaksauce has long been deprecated/useless once you are past 4.4.2.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
I realized that shortly after posting.

However, there is still a solution. Use Sunshine to temp-root, then use a local terminal instead of adb.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
When ckpv5 referred to Scotty's method in the post above yours, he is talking about the thread you linked. I am aware of that method and think it is great, but you need to get a shell... and you need root privileges in that shell in order to run the dd= command. That is just the way it works. It doesn't matter if you are S-off (this is why I have been frustrated). Until HTC replies to me, I am stuck with an unrooted phone with S-off.

I am going to try the towelroot method though... I forgot about that (thank you ckpv5).

If I can get temporary root long enough to unlock the bootloader.... then I can flash TWRP and I am good to go. We'll see. :mad:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
Yeah, I had a bit of a brain fart on that one. I forgot you have to be able to su to execute that dd command, even s-off. However, I do know for a fact that you don't actually have to flash TWRP to re-root. When I did the same thing you are doing, I simply booted TWRP instead of installing it to preserve the stock recovery.

TWRP did have an issue booting for a while when using the firmware that came along with 4.4.3, but they appear to have fixed it in the last two versions. I ended up using CWM instead, but the effect is the same.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
That is another good potential solution...and I know it works.... I will try and let you know!
