XZ1 Compact (Android 8.0) in Bluetooth connection with 2017 Subaru Forester

All apps that play audio tracks show elapsed time, but remaining time is shown as -0:00.

Tried all sorts of permutations through the Developer Options, but none seemed to make a difference.

All previous Android phones, same setup, running Android 6.x through 7.x, don't have this problem.

Is this a known bug?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] xIntenso:
I have the same issue with my phone (not the same car, just bluetooth media info not working on any device), and I think it has something to do with android 8.0, because google's Pixel also has this problem when updated to 8.0
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] billbond4:
yeah, not working great on my Hyundai i40 (with Navi unit) (dont see any song names or song duration & intermittent working of FF and Rev)

I changed the version of BT to 1.4 in the developer settings and it helped a bit
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pseudonym58:
The SPP Bluetooth profile doesn't seem to be supported in Android 8.0 running on the XZ1, XZ1C (and apparently the Pixel?).

The others, HFP,OPP,PBAP,AZDP,AVRCP,MAP are all present, according to my external BT devices.

Then again, this may have nothing to do with the BT bug we're discussing here.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] billbond4:
Got the new update this morning and still Bluetooth bug, that SPP profile doesnt have anything to do with the music, but its good to know.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pseudonym58:
One appreciated improvement in the most recent (...12.34) firmware is that the long-standing Bluetooth bug, where connected BT devices do not show the remaining playing time of a media file, is fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] UnrealEnvy:
Hello everyone, new here.

I'm desperate, been fighting this issue for some days now, to no avail.

My S8+ connects to my car's stereo (Blaupunkt New York 830) but displayed only 'Calls' and 'Contacts', there's no 'Media' option under bluetooth, so there's no streaming of it either.

Other devices such as the OnePlus 2, Huawai P9 are working without any issues.

I tried the following:

1. Cache partition wipe.

2. Resetting the car's stereo to factory default settings.

3. Upgraded the firmware of the car's stareo.

4. Updated my phones software including Samsung Connect.

I then read about an application called 'Bluetooth auto connect' and downloaded it. On some occasions, it DOES connect Media when using it, but it doesn't work all the time, on most cases it just connect and shows 'Calls'.

Please, is someone familiar with this app or issue and can assist me on this?

Much obliged!

Can't help you but....

I have never had any problem with media and bluetooth on mine. I would check and see if you have the radio and phone discover able to each other.

Hey guys, so, I don't know if you have already discussed this matter or not, but,

I just found out that OxygenOS has some service called ODM which collects data and logs etc, and submit it to the company! the service has the Package name of ‏net.oneplus.odm.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeppeMan:
There is a magisk module for this.

Isn't that mostly used for sending log files to them in case of reporting issues? Do you know for sure that this is sending information outside of when the user specifically accesses this app?

Is Lineage more secure privacy wise?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CaptShaft:
What a bunch of diqfuqs. Not surprising at all. At lot of these chinese smart phone companies think it's cool to spy on the userbase. AdUps anyone?

Apparently "Never Settle" really just means "We're going to bend you over for all that sweet, sweet Big Data, you peons!"

FYI, from the link above this sends off the to the mothership:

I seriously doubt there's any mention of this in their "terms of service".

The specific APK I'm seeing which is responsible for this is called Insight Provider, at least on my OOS-based ROM. If rooted, you can simply disable it with Titanium Backup. Ideally you should uninstall it and be done with it permanently.

Also, open.oneplus.net should be added to your AdAway blacklist, post haste.

If not rooted, you have to turn on ADB in developer options and run the following command from your ADB console:

adb start-server
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 net.oneplus.odm

ROM-makers: You might wish to pull this module from any OOS ROM's you are making in the days ahead. That will clear the air for us going forward.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

LineageOS is quite a bit better in a lot of regards. It is stripped down AOSP to the bare bones, no bloatware, and you have the option of built-in root functionality plus a Privacy Guard, which lets you restrict what apps can access or do what with your phone.

Even our OOS custom roms don't have the last part, sadly. :(

Weird, the analytics service under OnePlus System Service isn't running for me. On 4.5.12
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] OcazPrime:
Yeah, im almost 100% certain that lineage only rips the drivers for the device's hardware so that the fingerprint and camera and junk can work with their customized OS.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

so upon checking my system apps, does OnePlusLogKit have something to do with it as well? Its currently cached on my phone and the name suggests it has something to do with it this collection.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
The LogKit is how they get people to send in logs when problems arise.

Seems not the same as this analytics stuff
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] heov:
Does this affect OP5? This issue is from 2016. I do t see the analytics service running on my OP5.

The article is about the OP2.

im on FreedomOS 1.8, i first disabled the device manager services. Then completely deleted the folder and rebooted phone.

Permanently done with it. It's good to have a rooted phone lol

Same for me too. This mean it's safe?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mu009:
Any issues after deleting?

I'm rooted too.

I've moved the folder out from system for now (just in case it breaks something else), and I'm rebooting.

But if you had no worries deleting the bastard completely, I'd be more than glad to do that myself.

/system/priv-app/OPDeviceManager ?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mu009:
Yes, I moved the folder out of /system, and in to/sdcard.

That way, if something got broken, I could simply restore the folder and then use magisk to block the process.

But since nothing seems to be broken comma and this is a more powerful fix in brackets so to speak, I prefer it.

It's not a "secret", it's the User Experience program, when you setup your phone you're asked if you want to enrol in it, if you don't then untick the option, simple as that.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Nope.

OP are sending 2 types of data: The one related with the User Experience Program and also more data, that can't be disabled...

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...lly-identifiable-analytics-data-phone-owners/
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] heov:
So here's my question: I'm not rooted. I never opted into the user experience program, so the use-logging is not sent.

From what I understand, OP is still sending out some devices info logs. How can I tell if this is happening? what is the name of the service? The analytics service is not running on my phone in the OP System Service.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kansu_makugen:
Same here. There is no OneplusAnalyticsJobService running under Oneplus System Service.

I guess I'll have to root my device, just to make sure...
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
From a ADB connection you can execute the following command in a not rooted device to block the OPDeviceManager app.

(the command only blocks for the main user, but this is enough)

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 net.oneplus.odm
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kansu_makugen:
Thanks. But does uninstalling this app affect anything else? Or is the app only used to spy on us?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The app is in /system.

You can't uninstall if you aren't rooted

But for practical purposes is like the app was uninstalled

But you don't loss the ability to receive OTA updates (I don't know if the app will be active again after a OTA update).

And, for answer your question: I don't know exactly what more do this app apart from sending users data ;)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] heov:
But my question is, what service is sending out info? Is it not the analytics service in the One Plus system service/device manager process?

I get that I can remove it, but I want to make sure there's a problem before I try to fix it.

I guess I'm looking for confirmation from other users in this forum that if they're not enrolled in the user Experience program, data is being sent regularly to OP. And if possible, the service/process that is doing this. The original article said it was the analytics one, but that doesn't show up for me. So it must be some other process within the OP Device Manager?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] akxak:
I disabled the InsightProvider (freeze via TB) and that status was kept after installing the full update to the current OOS release via TWRP.

I additionally disabled OnePlus System Service, yet no side effects.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charlie_Romero:
Thanks for all the commands!, I was missing the "adb start-server" part
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CaptShaft:
No problem! You could also use adb devices to get it going instead of the first command.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

That wouldn't hurt if you were to do that, I don't think.

If you disable / delete the OnePlus System app & the Insight Provider app with Titanium Backup, that will end the logging overall. That should be your primary concern, really.

Adding open.oneplus.net to your AdAway black list is also a good idea, like I suggested earlier.

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

No, not really. When you examine what is collected by OnePlus [as listed above] and contrast that what is collected bu AdUps...

http://www.kryptowire.com/observed_adups_data_collection_behavior.html

...we see some striking similarities:

With AdUps crapware, they spell out that it's used for advertising purposes. That info can help with troubleshooting, but they're grabbing too much of it to make such an argument plausible.

Folks, we have a problem in this nation where data on you can be collected, used, abused, sold, resold, and hacked away without you having any control over the process. You pay the price for their dropping the ball on data security; you eat the cost of identity theft, should it come to that. There's few laws that prevent this, and they are not frequently enforced. The only way to stop this stupidity is to turn it off at the source. Hence my personal requirement for unlockable bootloaders on phones where I can put a ROM on there that doesn't spy.

OnePlus, like AdUps, is apparently getting more cash on the back end by selling out your personal life data to the highest bidder. That's the primary reason for all of this, really. And they way OP goes about this by sneaking it out without you opting in is fundamentally irresponsible and unconscionable, and in the EU probably illegal.

I spoke to oneplus support for all the good it's done me. They say the aboves are aware of the fact people aren't happy.

They are planning a statement which will explain things in greater detail, but hopefully they make changes to the way this all works.

Honestly I think perhaps people are blowing this out of the water a little too much. I'm sure plenty of manufacturers are doing this, it's one thing putting me off the new google phones.

Only difference is that oneplus have been caught.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charlie_Romero:
Hey team,

Just letting you know that after uninstalling/removing these data collection files, the "battery" last LONGER and there are less Android /system activities.

I have removed it and some other APKs from /system and no issues at all...

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

If you have installed .13 via OTA you don't need to uninstall again.

You only need to uninstall if you have wipe data
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuncan:
Tnx. Yes, I installed .13 via OTA.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fif_:
Wait, you're not supposed to be able to install an OTA once /system has been modified.

And if you remove the OP "analytics" app, then /system is modified.

The only way to update then is to flash the full package, which will reinstall the app.

Or am I missing something?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDroodle:
I actually would like to see this happening on my old phone as a project so i can capture the data sent - i have reverted my OP2 from linageOS to 2 different stock OP2 builds but cannot see this data going out. I can capture data going out from my browser and also POST requests from google but nothing for oneplus - how best to check that this is running - thx.

Just checked Insight Provider and One Plus System Service Running.

However it doesn't look like this .. they seem to be running separately ..

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuncan:
I don't know.

After I get an notification for upgrade, I can saw it's size is 45 MB (I'm not sure about this, but I'm sure it wasn't 1 GB or similar) and there was "OTA" written. And I press UPGRADE :) and everything works fine.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The user has written that it has uninstalled the app via the "adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 net.oneplus.odm" command, that isn't updating system partition (and doesn't requires root to run properly). Due to that, the ability to receive OTA updates isn't lossed at all.

In my case, I have rooted my device and removed the apps via "rm" command, that is updating the system partition and, I know, I have lossed the ability to install OTA updates.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArdixX:
Hello, i've read all the thread and following the previous post i've deactivated "insight provider" and uninstalled "one plus system service" with adb shell command, is there anything i should do for stopping analytics? I'm considering to install Lineage os for more privacy and security.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Seriously?

Consider to root your device then install AFWall+ from the Play Store to disable outgoing connections from some apps instead of install Lineage, that isn't stable IMHO
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArdixX:
I'm not so into custom android roms, it was an idea. I've used lineage os on an old motorola moto g (2013). If i root my device i loose OTA update isn't it?..but i still could install updates from local, right? from that firewall i should block both "insight provider" and "one plus system service" ?

thanks in advance

ps: what i've down till now (with no root) is enough?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
If you root your device you loss ability to upgrade via OTA (I think root modifies the system filesystem) but you can update manually from local using full update (you need to download a 1.6GB instead of a 100-200-300MB, but what's the difference?)

Due to OnePlusDeviceManager and OnePlusDeviceManagerService are system apps, it runs using the UID #1000, that is assigned also to some system apps that requires Internet access. Due to that you can't block OPDM and OPDMS via AFWall+ and you need to block via the "adb shell pm ..." command or removing manually the files from /system or updating the /etc/hosts file to add a rule to block the open.oneplus.net domain.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArdixX:
sorry i maybe misunderstood previous posts, but if tick "show system apps" i can only see "insight provider" and "one plus system service"..i can't find "onePlusDeviceManager" or "onePlusDeviceManagerService" under apps..but i maybee need root access. Anyway just to make a little recap. The two apps that are responsable for analytics are: "one plus system service" and "insight provider" right? as i can read here

edit : i misread, there is only the "OnePlus System Service", disabling that service all analytcs stuff should stop

PS : should i also remove net.oneplus.odm.provider with adb as i do with net.oneplus.odm ?

Sorry for beeing so noob xD
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fif_:
Nice, I didn't know you could unregister system apps from the package manager without ever touching the /system partition.

Are you aware of another pm command to re-register the system apk and undo the removal?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think it's: "adb shell pm install --user 0 /system/app/OnePlusDeviceManager/OnePlusDeviceManager.apk" but I haven't tried it.

Hello everyoane, first of all i want to pre-apologise for my bad english, i hope to be understood. My problem is, i bought a brand new Nexus 5x from my local shop (Altex from Romania) where it was exposed (exposed to be tested), and now i'm the owner, the problem is 1. battery life is awfull, it holds about 3 - 4 max in intensive use (music with fb/web browsing) and second problem what it is the biggest of all is that this phone doesn't hold in background the applications even 2 ( facebook and chrome) when i switch from one to other it reopen... what i can do to get the full perfomance?

Root: never rooted

Format: once formated when i bought it
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitachben:
First : if you meant 3-4 Hours max of *screen on* battery , then its totally fine.. we all are getting that.

But if not , then try to reduce brighness , uninstall apps that take too much battery (you can find them under the battery menu, there it's written how much percent every app has taken), try to see if you mobile signal is fine or low (low signal can cause battery drain).

Second : about the multitasking, the Nexus 5x has 2gb of ram; it means it wont be able to hold a lot of heavy ram eaters together ..

Personally, I don't use facebook or skype on my N5x because I know they are battery eaters and ram eaters.

You can try to open the info of each app that you dont need in the background and tap on "Battery" then switch off the background activity..

You can try to instal custom rom from XDA and see if it can run more than 2-3 apps in the background(maybe the other rom will have some kind of more optimisation than the stock one)

P.s , you can use apps that can replace Facebook (like a lite version of Facebook) that use less ram , and then youll have ram to other things ..
