A companion app for AirPods on Android.

capod's Issues

Notification disappears if "IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS" is not granted

Hi, in the main screen after installing the app it should ask for Permission.IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATION but it's not listed.
I went through the code but it seems everything is there, so i don't know what's missing

Notifications not working

Notifications are not working with the latest version (2.1.0) on Android 13.

Toggle shows as greyed out:

F-Droid compatibility

… as there are no releases, and no APKs attached to the (not existing) releases. As the loink to Play works, maybe you could add tag & APK here as well?

Permanent wakelock prevents sleep, idle battery drain high

This is with scanner mode set to "low power".
I try to set monitor mode to "when connected", but it consistently reverts to "always".

Hide "No device" notification

Hi there!
I would like to hide the notification of "No device" since it's pretty useless and spams the space on among notifications.

The trouble is that if I hide it with Android (12) settings, I'll hide the notification when pods are connected as well.

I guess that this notification is essential for the app staying in background to monitor BLE status.

So my suggestion is to divide notifications:

• to stay in background
• to show the info about pods (a.k.a. Device status)

The 2nd one will appear only when the pods are connected. While another one could be hidden via basic android tools. Seems like a win-win strategy.

What do you think?

I need help connecting my airpods

Genuine AirPods Gen 3 are detected as fake with seemingly incorrect information

My (genuine as far as I can tell) Gen 3 AirPods don't seem to be detected unless I explicitly set the device model in the settings to "AirPods (Gen 3)?" (i.e., fake). Once they are detected they seem to always show the pods as 100% battery and charging, and the case as 70% battery, no matter what.

I have tried a variety of combinations of compatibility settings in the app, but still the only way they were detected was by manually setting the device address and device model.

The debug information shown in the app when they are detected is:

[76: 07 13 01 13 20 75 AA 37 37 00 10 00 E4 E4 40 00 00 00 00 00 00]

I also attached a debug log recording where I just opened the case with the AirPods in it.

Let me know if there is any other information I can gather to help solve this, and thank you for all the hard work that has been put into this app!

Option to change AirPods name

On Apple devices it's possible to change AirPods name, by default it's for example "nat's AirPods" or "AirPods (nat)" depending on device language.

Few months ago I asked about this on Discord but I don't think we understood each other and I was told that it should just be possible to use Windows/Android name change in Bluetooth settings but it's not the case because changing name using an Apple device changes how AirPods appear on other devices too.

Airpods not detected

I turn on the app and the app does not detect any headphones and devices

Alternate notification icons for light mode

My device's dark mode keeps the notifications white which makes it impossible to see the icons next to the battery percentages. It would be nice to have a toggle for the icons to make them dark.

Update Firmware

I would find it useful if CAPod could update the firmware of my AirPods Pro. What do you think?

Show Firmware

AirPods Pro 2 in-ear detection not working well

Hey there, first thanks a lot for the app love it!
Just bought AirPods Pro 2, and while setting up the app, I saw that the in-ear detection is not accurate, and it doesn't detect well if a pod is in-ear or not.
While checking the monitor mode a bit and putting them on and off, I can see that the pod's status is either long to update or not correct at all.
This is quite annoying for the auto-pause, which is not working, for instance.
I don't have much more info to provide for now, but I would be glad to help debug!

Automatic play/pause not working (AirPods 1st gen)

Ear detection with automatic play/pause is not working on AirPods 1st gen.
Firmware version : 6.8.8
All options are enabled and all requested permissions granted

When removing an earphone, the music does not stop. You must remove both earphones to stop it

Persistent notification

Would it be possible to use a different notification category for when there are no devices connected, so this can be switched off if preferred?

Material You Icon

Hi, using this app has been great so far! But one great thing to add would be Android 13 Tiramisu's Material You Icons.

Realme Buds Wireless 2S

Can you add realme Buds Wireless 2S?
Here is some info about this device (linux desktop screenshot)

If this is not helpful, can you tell me how you or other extracted Bluetooth data from other devices?
Thanks

Support for active data retrieval via direct connections with paired devices

Currently CAPod obtains data passively.
Supported devices (e.g. AirPods) regularly broadcast BLE advertisements.
CAPod receives these ScanRecords's and data with contains the information we display.
This does not require any pairing.

Most non-apple headphones only offer data via BLE characteristics which can be read if the headphones are paired and connected.

To support devices that only expose information via BLE characteristics, CAPod needs a new mechanism that obtains data from connected devices.

Some brainstorming:

• Already have active worker if device is connected.
  • Flag devices that require active connection
  • Automatically launch worker for these devices (for Apple devices it can stay optional)
• For connected devices establish a connection within CAPod, query services and characteristics
  • Map scan speed to intervals at which we query the device
    • Devices could have BLE notifications enabled, so in addition to manual refresh intervals, code should be reactive.
  • Some sort of caching?
  • Device modeling (interfaces) should work for this too.
  • Some kind of factory pattern that is created depending on the device type
• Combine data from current BLE data provider with the new one
  • PodMonitor combines the current flow with broadcast data, and the new one
  • Extra connection based monitor lives app wide, worker just keeps it alive?
• Adjust some texts/branding due to upcoming support for non apple devices
• Make this a pro feature?
• With a connection we can write data too
  • Extra settings for devices that support this? Maybe an action button shows in each card that supports this

i10, i11, i12 supoort

these airpods clones are suprisengly popular because they are cheap off brands that offer decent quality audio, touch control, and they use BT 5.

if they could be supported then I would like them to be added

Add support for RUSAM - TWS GA33

Auto pause/play doesn't work with one pod mode on

Have 2 pods in with 1 pod mode on and auto pause/play doesn't work. I can see the icon that says in ear and the icon goes away when I take the pod out but music does not stop. Works fine with one pod mode off but I don't want to have to switch everytime I use just one AirPod.

Update UI for Popup

that would be cool and needed....
also would you mind opensourcing the app, i would gladly help with the design

btw this is by far the best app for airpods i tried, except for the ui!

Themed icon for Android 12+

It doesn't has a monochrome icon for themed icon for Android 12+ devices. Additional of this will be wooow

Let me know what else needs to be done, so we can work on this together and get this supported, thank you

Beats Fit Pro

Based on #31 the spotted hex data was possibly a pair of Beats Fit Pro and not AirPods Pro 2.

Popup to Show When a Device is first seen by BLE broadcasts

Would it be possible to add a toggle for the popup to show when airpods are first connected?

Widget Support?

notification content not centered

Change Noise-Control Mode

AirPods Pro and AirPods Max have three noise-control modes: Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, and Off. You can switch between them, depending on how much of your surroundings you want to hear.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210643

It would be nice if CAPod could update the mode.

(request) Google Assistant Support

A nice to have would be support for the google assistant, also to remap the button action on Airpods to enable Google Assistant
Best regards

Can you add support for nothing ear 1

It would be great

Thanks in advanced

Matching AirPod icons instead of generic earbud icons

Thank you for your efforts! I know it is trivial and solely aesthetic, but I would like to ask if it is possible to edit the notification icons to the actual images of the AiPods (e.g., Pro 2) and Case.

AirPods Pro 2 more accurate battery level

App says 90%, yet my Mac says 95% and other android apps say 95% as well. What do you need to repro?

AirPod Pro 2 actions problems

Airpods Pro 2-auto pause

Hello, when i when I take off one of my headphones, the music does not pause

New functionality

Can you pkease add the functionality of the notification widget that it goes off when the airpods are disconnected.

Do you mind if I write a request to be added to F-Droid?

notification can't allowed

When I update this app to version V2.1.1-rc0, the notifications themselves are no longer allowed.
I'm using Pixel 5a on android 13.
In the FOSS version I can allow notification permissions as usual.

2device pairing

Saw the feature in iPhone to listen music from 2 pairs of airpods at the time.
Is it possible to implement such feature on android via CApod?

Don't show a notification when no airpods are connected

or make a toggle within the app to turn it off that would be cool

Support for Redmi Earbuds 2c

The app is not working. It is not detecting my Redmi earbuds 2c

Add support for Anker Soundcore Liberty 2

Hey I was wondering if you could add support for these buds. I came across this repo and Im wondering if the info they have in the bluetooth files would be enough for you to add support.

AirPods Pro 2

I believe the AirPods Pro 2 model is 1120 in hex. Data appears to be the same as all other Pod devices.

Show Noise-Control Mode

AirPods Pro and AirPods Max have three noise-control modes: Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, and Off. You can switch between them, depending on how much of your surroundings you want to hear.
