Tidal HiFI - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone here use Tidal?
I seem to have the HIFI option greyed out and cannot select it. I have the HIFI subscription.
Is the 6p and/or Android not capable of playing the FLAC files?

Tidal working 100% on my 6P. However I found after first install, needed to renew my subscription (I cancelled it for a while) and did this from within the app. But directly afterwards (like on your 6P) the HIFI options were all still greyed-out. Removed the app and re-installed it solved this issue.
Btw too bad we don't have aptx (no Nexus device has it due to their choice because of license fees)

That's actually one of its few purposes , so far. Upload your music to Google music, then when you have a Q selected the sound comes from the Q instead of your phones speaker. Same thing with play movies and YouTube. Optical out, HDMI out, or a 25 watt amp if you don't have a system.
But strictly from your sdcard , no. You'd have to have it uploaded to work. You might be happier with a Bluetooth reciever module.

You can sign up by using a proxy to look like you're in the US. Look for a tutorial on using Netflix from abroad, it's the same deal. You only need to be 'in' the US to register, then you can upload and play music without the proxy after that.

Android 4.3 Bluetooth Audio Quality Fix for Nexus 7 Flo

cbaronne has posted a set of compiled binaries to change the default bitrate of the Bluetooth SBC codec to increase A2DP audio quality on the Nexus 4 over on this thread. It seems that the 2013 Nexus 7 suffers from the same issues, but can also be fixed with the same binaries.
I've very lightly modified itlnstln's update script to work on the Nexus 7 and have tested these files as flashable under TWRP. The binaries in the flo-4.3-BTFix-googledefault.zip file are from the ParanoidAndroid 3.94 ROM (which I would highly recommend) should you experience troubles with your Bluetooth devices.
I would recommend trying the 328kbps version first, and would expect it to provide the best quality in most situations since it matches the sampling rate of most MP3 files. Most Bluetooth stacks for other devices have 328 as the maximum quality. Of course, test with your devices and ears.
For device testing, I've used it to great success with a BlackBerry Music Gateway (still stuck at low volume, but that's an AVRCP volume control issue) and a Philips AEA2000/37 Bluetooth receiver. I also have an eBay/Chinese receiver which identifies itself as DMZmusic where this change causes continuous popping noises from both my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. That device is perfectly fine when paired with my other devices that stream at full quality with A2DP SBC (BlackBerry Playbook, WP7 phone, and Windows PC using the Toshiba stack), so clearly Google still has some work to do. Until then, hopefully these files prove to be useful.

Yes, just flash with TWRP. Note that this only affects A2DP Bluetooth audio (ie: wireless headphones and stereo receivers) in situations where it sounds like Internet radio from the year 2001 and won't do a thing for the static noise when using the onboard speakers at low volume.
328K did seem to help with Netflix + BT but it certainly wasnt perfect. Its rather disappointing that such a powerful tablet cant even BT + netflix properly.
Thanks much for sharing.
Aren't any Android Tablets/Phones out there which support BT-MP3/AAC Codec? Maybe those can be ported to Nexus devices?

I don't think you can blame the Nexus 7. I reverted to the previous version of the netflix app and the audio is fine. It appears netflix broke something with the latest update.

I don't know if this is related to the problem of BT keyboards working properly (interference on the 2.4 Ghz band between WiFi and BT), but if it is, would you know how to fix that problem as well? Only reason I ask is that I was under the impression that BT audio also suffered from the interference issue, and would especially make sense if paired up with netflix streaming (which would be sending data over WiFi simultaneously).

I haven't dealt with that issue specifically on the Nexus 7, but I have had nothing but terrible luck with most Bluetooth HID devices for PCs and now just recommend using sets from Logitech or Microsoft with proprietary RF USB dongles. Apple's devices tend to work OK though. As for interference, I have no trouble streaming BT audio while also pulling HD video over my 2.4GHz WLAN, but then again I'm not in a very RF saturated area and also have automatic channel hopping disabled on my WiFi AP. If you're in a highrise or something like that, the only possible solution is going to be to get your WLAN onto 5.8GHz to try and free up some spectrum.
I don't think I've heard of any Android devices that do MP3 or AAC BT audio, but there are quite a few that can do AptX. As far as I know, only the manufacturer ROMs provide the codecs for this (ie: flashing CyanogenMod to an SGSIII will kill AptX), and receiver compatibility is pretty low. It's a shame that there are so many cooks in the Bluetooth kitchen that we end up with this metaphorical beef and Cheetos stew.

Ill have to try that. Nonetheless there are some bt issues relating to 4.3. I was attempting to watch a youtube via bt headphones and my vz hotspot on my SGS3 and it stuttered along, but when I turned off bluetooth it streamed fine. This is rather aggravating.

:good: Huge thank you to OP. Ever since I got my nexus 4, it always had crappy bluetooth audio playback. For a while I wondered if my speakers in the car were damaged also but I tried your fixed and it worked flawlessly. Crystal clear and rich sound now. This is confirmed working on the latest stock nexus 4 jwr66y
-- Post deleted -- web site didn't load that other people had asked my question. It just did and I see it. Can't find 'delete' option here.
You know, I downloaded a Beats Audio APK and that did the trick. Just google BeatsAudio07.02.zip and the first link will where you can download it. I noticed a big difference on my N7 I use at home and definitely the N7 I have installed in my car. The sound thru my Infinity System sounds like crap. Once I downloaded and flashed this zip, it was a huge improvement. :good:
Just got a netflix update last night (3.0.1 build 1016,) fixes the bt issues I had with it =]
Can't update
Does anyone have the default audio.a2dp.default.so, after applying this fix I can no longer OTA.

Error: Unfortunately, Bluetooth share has stopped
Hi Guys, I'm new to N7 and first thing I wanted to do is to upgrade BT audio q. After causing endless bootloop (X), I had to restore device to factory settings using Nexus Root Toolkit v 1.7.8 and loading Android 4.4.0 - Build: KRT16S. Only after that, I tried again to flash "flo-4.3-BTFix-328kbps-2013-08-18.zip" and everything looked ok until boot when there was a pop up message with an error: "Unfortunately, Bluetooth share has stopped". Same with other zip (345kbps). Any idea where might be the problem?
EDIT: Obviously I was trying to use 4.3 fix for 4.4. build When I realized it, I loaded again 4.3 system, flashed zip and seems to be ok now!
So anyway @random_n, could you please update this fix so it would work for 4.4 as well. It would be greatly appreciated!
Has anyone found a kitkat audio fix yet? I justvtried my BT headphones with my n7, and the sound is ungodly bad compared to my galaxy s3.
Since the tablet gets longer battery life, I'd prefer to use it for my wireless audio instead of the s3.

Nexus Player- Netflix 2.3.0 Won't Play 5.1 Audio

Netflix Audio Woes
I know this has been talked about a lot, but nothing in the past month or so...
Netflix (ver. 2.3.0) won't play 5.1 audio but Kodi plays surround sound without problems. Netflix support also says it's not their app and that is it something lost in translation (maybe literally) when the NP outputs to the AVR. The AVR has not had any issues with the DD+ from Chromecast Netflix - I'm stumped.
Any thoughts? Anyone having similar issues? I just picked up the NP yesterday btw.
Thanks for the input!
I have exactly the same problem. Netflix says, it correctly delivers 5.1 audio to the player, but my pioneer AV receiver just gets 2.0 PCM!
What I have tested so far:
Netflix-App on Nexus 5 -> Chromecast -> Pioneer VSX-924: DD+ 5.1 OK
Netflix-App on Nexus Player -> Pioneer VSX-924: just 2.0 PCM
Netflix-App on Nexus Player -> Onkyo TX-SR606: DD+ 5.1 OK
I have swapped cables and inputs.
Netflix blames Pioneer, Pioneer blames Google/ASUS, ASUS says "its a compatibility issue we cannot help"
simpsojp, what AVR do you have?
Hi,
Seeing an similar issue on my brand new Denon AVR-X2200.
Only getting PCM when choosing 5.1 in Netflix. Getting distorted sound.
Seeing the same problem in Plex on my Nexus player.
All other inputs works fine. Chromecast, tv tuner etc..
/Jo Christian
I have a Pioneer VSX-1019ah-k. I just naively tried editing build.prop to set media.aac_51_output_enabled=false but as one would expect, it was not that easy. I know my AVR (and probably yours chr1ssss) can't decode AAC 5.1 so if something in the NP is taking the Netflix audio stream and converting it to AAC 5.1, I would just get a stereo PCM audio stream. Other's with newer Onkyo AVRs seem to have success so it has to be a codec output issue.
I believe this is not a Netflix problem but an Android OS problem. I'm going to try flashing Marshmallow as another easy fix attempt but I'm not holding out much hope. If anyone has any suggestions to the proper use of the build.prop settings, I'm all ears. In no way do I want an AAC 5.1 stream leaving my NP!
I can happily report that Marshmallow worked!!! NP now let's Netflix pass through 5.1 DD+!! Now to get root back.

Thanks for your reply, I will update to Marshmallow asap.
I was emailing with Pioneer and chatting with Netflix multiple times - everybody keeped blaming the other company
Google never responded to any of my questions.
Marshmallow did it!
DD+ now works.
Glad it worked for you too!
Marshmallow fixed my issue too. Nexus Player + Pioneer Elite SC-67. I always just got static when trying to play 5.1 in Netflix before. Now it is fixed in 6.0
Did you have to enable a setting for pass through or did it just work?

AFAIK there are no audio settings which could be adjusted, neither in Android itself nor in Netflix. If the Netflixapp recognizes that your euqipment is capabble to play DD+ 5.1 it offers the audiotrack.
Unfortunately even after Marshmallow Netflix still wont play DD, as a test i installed the Archos Player and it played movies in 5.1 with no issues so it's not the nexus player, anyone have any ideas, something I could try?
thank you.

What AVR are you using?
5.1 and DolbyDigital/DolbyDigitalPlus are not the same. I was able to play 5.1 PCM via Google Play Movies even with Lollipop.

I have Yamaha YSP-3000 it supports Dolby Digital Pro Logic II
Has anyone gotten any further with this? Is there some trick to getting it to work?
For most of us, updating to Android 6 fixed the issue.
Not for me, unfortunately - Kodi & Plex output DD, Netflix does not. Running 6.0.1. Anything else I could try to get it to work?
Swapping cables, resetting and updating devices you could try. As there is no setting to adjust or logs you could check, your options are pretty limited.
Contacting the vendorsupport might help too.

AptX

Has anyone gotten AptX to work with their Nexus 6p? I know that Google has not officially added support for AptX to the Nexus 6p within Android Oreo, but they did add this support for the Pixel phones. I also read various articles on how people have been able to enable AptX on developer preview builds of Oreo (for the Nexus 6p) and in some cases within LineageOS. A few weeks ago I tried all the methods listed online, but the information is sparse and it wasn't successful.
1) Has anyone gotten AptX to work within any version of Android on the Nexus 6P?
2) Has anyone been able to flash the necessary blob or drivers to enable AptX within any Rom of Oreo for the Nexus 6p?
If you have this working and could write me a step by step, I'd appreciate it immensely !
I don't have a pair of AptX headphones, otherwise I'd like to test it out, with the new Oreo rom from SuperXE, I remember seeing an option for bluetooth codecs and I saw AptX and AptX HD in the list?
Oreo brings an aptX codec selector option to Developer Settings.
But it does not work on the 6P as there is no aptX codec installed.
I know, because I'm an aptX enthusiast (see my signature) and I just tested it a few minutes ago with my Velodyne aptX headphones.
aptX does not get engaged, so I didn't even bother looking at the logcats since those won't indicate anything without aptX engaging.
I'll probably try hacking aptX into my new/used 6P that I just bought today.
But I don't think it'll work, since recent aptX success stories have all been with Lineage OS 14+ ROM's and I plan to stay with Marshmallow.
But I'll give it a shot over the next week and let ya'll know what I find out.

Yep, just reboot and you're done. aptX compatible receiver devices (such as headphones) will automatically connect via aptX now.
You know, I've had the worst luck trying to create flashable zips.
The last time any of mine worked was on Marshmallow.
I gave up on them. But if someone points me to a working flashable zip that puts items in /system then I'll mod it for aptx.

I have always just taken an existing zip and modded the contents honestly. But this is fine too, not hard to manually add the libs.
@CZ Eddie
How do you know for sure if your phone is using apt-x codec or not when connected to headphones? Is there an app or something that can tell?

My headset flashes blue a certain amount of times (four) if aptX is online.
But you can also run a logcat. Connect to the headset, then play some music (or aptX won't start). Then stop the logcat and ctrl+f it for "aptx".
If you see it mentioned anywhere at all, then it's working. :good:
Sorry for the dumb question but is it possible to push these files via ADB without Magisk?
Lol there's a magisk module I found that works for enabling AptX on the most recent Oreo Build, it was intended for Oreo beta but it works ! I can't find the thread even though I know it's still out there. Credit goes out to them. Just flash with Magisk and connect a pair to see if it works.
Tested this on Nexus6P with Lg tone Pro using AptX.

Honda is making my bluetooth crash

I have an LG G6 US997 (unlocked) phone. The bluetooth works nearly flawlessly on my fairly low end stereo. But we bought a 2016 Honda Odyssey last year and now whenever I try to connect to bluetooth on that minivan it works for a few seconds and then my phone says something like, "Bluetooth service has stopped." Whenever I try to reconnect that just keeps happening. Is this a problem with my phone or a known issue with Honda Hands Free Link stuff? I want to say it used to work fine, but this just started a month or two ago.
Do you use Google Play Music? That's what causing the crash. Disable or uninstall the app.

I see, thanks for the info. I appreciate knowing where it's coming from, but that's disappointing on Google's part. I'll try removing Google Play and seeing if that helps the issue. Thanks again for the response, I never would have guessed that's the issue.
Hold on a second. This doesn't completely jive with my experience. I have a cheap aftermarket stereo in my Subaru (a Pioneer DEH-X7800BHS) and Google Play Music works just fine on my LG G6 US997 over bluetooth. So there is something about the combination with the Honda Hands Free Link system that is doing this, right?

Different devices will have different bluetooth stacks.
So it is completely possible that the low end device works fine but the Honda does not.

Well, I tried Google Play Music for about 10 minutes today in my Honda, and had no problems. Worked as nicely as Amazon Prime Music and Pocket Casts, the apps I use extensively via bluetooth in the vehicle.
Sorry if this just muddies the water.

That's awesome. Maybe Honda upgraded their Bluetooth for 2017.
I have crashing issues with my 2015 Odyssey and 2016 Acura RDX. Works great with YouTube Music, Spotify and Pandora.
I have no problem with Essential phone, S8 or Nexus 5X.
Today I uninstalled the updates for Google Play Music (it seems to be one I can't truly uninstall) and tried Spotify with the 2016 Honda Odyssey. It worked like a charm. It looks like Google Play Music + LG G6 + Honda (<2017?) is the "winning" combination.
Hi !
7 month later I face the exact same problem .. trying to listen to google play music on my G6 through my honda civic tourer bluetooth system crashes the phones bluetooth ..
Strangely enough one month ago with my LG Q8 I had absolutely no problem.
Now that's weird ..
On the plus side it sounds like Google will be phasing out Google Play Music and moving to YouTube Music instead, although it'll take a year or so to complete the transition.
Today I tried to uninstall google play music updates and reverted back to stock version that came with my phone. No problem since then .. keeping fingers crossed.
Seems related to some google update ..
Edit: it worked fine for a few days then for no reason it started to crash again. Clueless.
Tried spotify, it did not work neither. If I unselect "audio media" in the bluetooth settings, the G6 will connect and not fail, and I can use the phone over bluetooth.
I created a btsnoop_hci.log but it would need an expert to analyse this file ! I opened it with wireshark but I don't know anything about bluetooth protocol ....
