Pre-ordered from VZ and was looking at reviews for the H3 by B&O PLAY and find they are only iPhone feature compatible. A few mentions that the volume, mic, etc. don't work with android phones. Couldn't find a version or model that was Android. Hoping that LG is not dumb enough to send out a version that B&O didn't update for the V20 which is Android? Long shot but anyone out here with a set of these earbuds and an android phone who can chime in? Hope the reviews I read were mistaken or the v20 will uniquely work with these.
Maybe contact B&O directly and see what they say?

Hello!
I always use my smartphones with my HTC Stereoclip in my car,it's a necessity to have BT with aptx to get the best sound possible,so I want to know if the LG G2 is aptx compatible or not.
Anyone tried it with HTC Stereoclip?
Yes, if u search here, there's a thread telling u how to enable it. I don't remember where.... sorry man...
With my LG HBS-730 the sound is awesome
Curios about this too. I recent bought aptx compatible headphones but I still find the quality not tell good. Some sources say that the g2 has aptx but how do we activate it?

The 2 sources saying it's a[tx ready are not reliable,it looks like plain copy/paste specs for smartphones.
No LG smartphone has aptx till date (at least officially)
I heard the BT audio is great with G2 on non-aptx devices but it's not the case with aptx receivers or earphones.
aptx is a BT codec it should be active by default on your smartphone,it's not an app that can add it but it's a driver that works with the BT chip
There's aptx logo in the box, so it must be compatible.
Yes it is....see link one down
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45768445#post45768445
On my LG G2 D802 box, there is apt X logo. It should be compatible.
aptx compatible
I sent an E-mail to LG service to be sure, before buying a new bluetooth headseat which use aptx, that my LG G2 (D802) is aptx compatible as is it written on the box.
I received the answer (the next day, great after sale service) and, yes it is.
Hi,
Has anyone else noticed a faint Buzz/static at the very end a song or possibly during the quiet moments? I have noticed it when watching netflix as well.
Most people wouldn't notice but if you really listen it's there. I did a google search and it sounds like this May be a wide spread issue with different devices. I have the Canadian version of note 3 (smn900w8) I am finding this so friggin frustrating as I took back the lg g2 for this and don't want to regret swapping it. I did have a note 2 but I didn't notice if it was thee or not.
I'm also trying to find out what dac the North American version is using? Has there been any news?

yes I know what you mean by buzz/static sound during the quiet moments.
I had this problem so I brought it into store for exchange for defectiveness.
they said they wanted to listen to the sound, but obviously they couldn't because you can only hear this sound during the quiet moments.
they weren't willing to exchange it for me. I just bought a new note 3 and compared.
new one did have this sound but was very unnoticeable unlike the old one.
since I couldn't refund the old one, I just sold it to someone else.
mine is also canadian version of note 3
Soooo...thought I put this on here just in case anybody else is wondering.
It seems the Moto X Play supports apt-X. I thought it did not and was kind of surprised to find out (if it is indeed true).
I went to capture logcat traces when pairing the Play with my Sony MDR-1ABT Bluetooth headphones to find out if it supports apt-X. Unsurprisingly, I wasn't able to find anything apt-X related in the logs. So I figured it does not support it, in contrast to myl old LG G2, which mentions negotiating apt-X in the traces.
Wanting to know for sure, I bought an Avantree Saturn Pro Bluetooth Transceiver, because it offers a status LED that indicates which Audio mode is used.
Much to my surprise, according to that little device, the Moto X Play paired using apt-X! To do a negative confirmation, I paired the Saturn Pro with my Laptop and my Dell Venue 8 7840 Tablet, both of which do not support apt-X. The Saturn Pro correctly showed this, as well as telling me that a Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z5 compact both do support apt-X (no surprise there).
I'm curious if anybody else can confirm apt-X support, preferrably through some other device/test?
That has been already answered here
I can't test it for sure, but Motorola support also claimed it supported Apt-X as one of my questions before I purchased it.

Thanks for the link, I somehow did not find that before!
Since the V20 speaker on the T-Mobile variant is "eh...", I wanted to try something. When I root my H918 I plan on messing with the mixer_paths.xml to make it sound better. So if anyone with the B&O tuned V20 could provide me with a copy of their mixer_paths.xml that would be great. I'm interested to see if I can spot the tuning in the file and apply it to my H918.
Thanks!
Does no one have the B&O V20?
Side note: the file could also be called mixer_paths_tasha.xml
Following, just incase. Hopefully someone can get this for ya.

This is truly a mystery! Curious to find out if the B&O branded (Korean?) version has something different going on since that seems to be what they were saying pre release and at release when they specifically mentioned the other models didn't have it.
I'm glad to see some people take interest in this topic
Hopefully it stays lively enough till someone comes along with the B&O V20 files I need.
Audio mods are sorta my thing. One thing I've learned about LG over the years is that they tend to have one system that is used on all variants with vendor props and preloadspec called at init. I haven't dug too far into the V20 yet but I wouldn't be surprised if you already have the BO tune somewhere on your phone just buried and not called up. I very easily could be wrong, just saying if no one pulls it for you, it might be worth digging around your current files.
I dug around through my V20's mixer_paths_tasha.xml and found the values for the headphone output and speaker output. I noticed right away that it's setup very differently from the mixer_paths from my G5. The next logical step to me was to compare it to the V10's mixer_paths. The V10 more closely matched the V20, but was still quite different. LG is using some different setup for the V20's mixer_paths and that's why I'm very curious to see if there's any difference between the American and B&O Korean models
I am interested in high quality bluetooth audio and aptX /aptX HD are preferred codec protocols for that. Now that Qualcomm acquired CSR, they own the aptX technology. On their web page there is an aptX compatibility link, where, for Motorola Phones we can see listed Moto G and Moto X, but the pictures are from the first generation phones.
For "aptX HD" I found only the latest flagship LG phones and Luna.
Is there a way to include support for aptX in our phones?

I don't believe there is. Sometimes I'm amazed at some of the simple and cheap things they left off these phones. At the manufacturer's level we're talking pennies on some things.
I have asked Qualcomm about the Moto G4 Plus and Moto X Pure (2015) and they where nice to answer this:
"Hi, yes Moto phones should support aptX, although we haven’t done any testing on these devices."
Since Qualcomm bought CSR in 2014, I don't see any development in that direction.
LE: New email from Qualcomm support:
"We do internal IOP testing on customer products but they have not provided us with Moto devices sorry."
Makes sense, only the real Moto cared to send their devices for testing. The following owners of the Moto brand (Google and Lenovo) are not interested in quality testing as much.
Capturing the bluetooth communication between phone and some aptX capable headphones and, after that, Wireshark that file, resulted in the information that Moto G4 is aptX capable!
Kudos to AlphaDog: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G4-Moto-G4-Plus-Moto-G4/Bluetooth-aptX-support/m-p/3488442#M10779
If this is aptX compatible, it should be aptX HD compatible as well.
Try flashing this mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-aptx-hd-bluetooth-hi-res-audio-t3501991
That mod seems to have worked on my G4 Plus. Now I just need a Bluetooth sink device (speakers headphones) capable of aptX HD, to verify.

Did you have a chance to verify if aptX is working after applying the fix?
AptX it works. Checked it with a few soundbars at BestBuy. Now, the AptX HD is a different story since there is only one type of LG headphones that supports it, nothing else on market. So I couldn't find a pair to test it.
Hi, are there any results?
