Aptx (not aptx hd) - any successful examples? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Has anyone successfully connected aptx?
I never managed to successfully connect to aptx. I browsed some forums and it seems there are no indications that it connects.
I have a homespot receiver, and it shows a green light if aptx is activated. My Sony phone works (green light shows), but not v20 (no green light).

I have the T-Mobile H918 and I've successfully connected to 2 or 3 different devices using the aptx protocol. 2 we're headsets and the 3rd is my car stereo and none had any indications such as lights or whatever that the aptx was being used so I had to use Catlog to see. There is another thread somewhere on here with 2 people (Sprint and att model if I recall) having issues with aptx as well so perhaps it's related

We really have to wait for Oreo to really know whether APTX is used or not

I'm using my Sony MDR-1000xm2 with AptX HD right now. My Sony App also says that AptX HD is enabled and I got a notification as well. Sound is awesome. Works flawlessly. Stock Nougat Rom. No root.

See attachments. With oreo we also should get the LDAC codec right with the system. It is definitely using the AptX codex because if I'm using another equalizer settings AptXHD will be disabled. Even if I'm not changing the settings a lot the sound difference is a lot. So in pretty sure that the v20 is using AptX and AptX HD

aptX Bluetooth Codec

I wonder if the LeEco Le Pro 3 supports the aptX Codec.

"LeEco" and "support" words can't stay in the same sentence from my experience

Unfortunately I don't have any Bluetooth headset available which supports aptX. But if someone has a aptX-capable headset, it's easy to find out:
Under System settings -> Developer Options, enable the option: "Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log"
Now turn on Bluetooth, connect your aptX capable headset and play a few seconds auf Audio on the LePro 3 over your headset.
Turn off Bluetooth and the HCI snoop log again
Connect phone to your computer and copy the following file from the phone to the computer: btsnoop_hci.log
rename the file to btsnoop_hci.log.pcap (note the different file extension) and open it with Wireshark (wireshark is an open-source protocol analyzer)
You should see a lot of Bluetoth packets in wireshark. To make it easier, enter the following into the filter bar: btavdtp and press <ENTER>
Select the packet with the command "SetConfiguration" and in the lower pane expand the points: "Bluetooth AVDTP Protocol" -> "Capabilities" (see also attached screenshot)
Now you will see the codec, which the phone has negotiated with the headset (in my screenshot this is "SBC" as my headset doesn't support aptX)
Have fun!
I still don't know if the Le Pro 3 supports the aptX codec, but I found out that it supports another nice bluetooth-releated feature, which I was missing on my Nexus:
Bluetooth headset battery indicator! (Note: of course the headset also has to support this, otherwise it will not work!)
I own a Aukey EP-B26 A2DP headset and it was annoying not be able to check the battery level of the headset. It's working on iOS but not on plain open source Android (AOSP), like it's running on the Nexus phones. But apparently EUI has added support for this.
I looked into the resources of SystemUI and found that it includes four different icons to display the battery level of a supporting bluetooth headset:
bluetooth_headset_battery_empty.xml
bluetooth_headset_battery_full.xml
bluetooth_headset_battery_low.xml
bluetooth_headset_battery_medial.xml
See also the attached images.
I must admit I begin to like EUI more and more.
Do you know where I can enabled it? I used to have it showing my Jabra Bluetooth headphone battery, but I must have accidentally turned it off

I noticed that the battery info only is shown, if the "Phone Audio" profile is enabled. If I only use "Media Audio" and disable "Phone Audio" it doesn't display the battery icon (at least this is what I noticed with my Aukey headset).
See also the attached screenshot.
I had to disable and enable for it to be shown. It's working now.
Le Pro 3 supports aptX. I'm using headphones (aptX) and it's working fine.
Yes I found out it does.

I just received my pro 3 a couple days ago and is looking for a aptx headset.

When this was brought up before: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/whats-to-aptx-hd-aptx-sbc-bluetooth-t3627794
tl;dr set it to aptX HD and hope it falls back gracefully when not supported. No idea why it wasn't set as default...
I don't think the Bluetooth connection issue with your car has anything to do with the codec. Mine has trouble connecting every time regardless of what is picked. It is really frustrating, so hopefully it'll improve with a future update...
Depends on which codec your headphones supports of headphones supports aptxx

If your device supports Aptx (like some High-Rez Audio headseats), go for it .
If not select SBC
Aptx HD in only for Bluetooth 5.0 devices (actually no headsets or car audio system are available on the market with this feature)

Why not just select aptX[ HD] and let the devices negotiate down if it's unsupported?
Hmm my Sony XB650BT seems to connect using aptx hd. It doesn't appear to step down, but maybe it's playing aptx but still on aptx hd? The headset lists that it is aptx.

Unfortunately no because most of the time the AD2P protocol will choose SBC as the default codec if the codec you chose (aptx or aptx hd) is not compatible/available

As far as I know this is true and matches my experiences bouncing between aptX in my car and my non aptx Bose qc 25..

G6 bluetooth quality setting missing

Hey!
I just got myself new headphones, ATH-AR5BT which are said to be aptx compatible. Sound quality is pretty terrible and the highest volume setting doesn't sound that loud at all. I found this article here on LG website :
http://www.lg.com/uk/support/product-help/CT00008356-20150332135127-others
It does say that if the headphones are aptx compatible you can change the settings for either best sound quality or performance, the thing is that on my LG this option is missing? I can't seem to find it there, so I'm wondering if it's the ROM's fault or am I just missing something here. I don't want to give those headphones back as they sound amazing on my mac, didn't check yet with other phones but will confirm very soon. Any ideas?
thanks!
It says, only available when it’s aptxHD which is different from just aptx
just checked that, LG G6 supports aptxHD as well
aptx hd is supposed to be backward compatible. I just got a receiver with aptx (not HD), and lg g6 is connecting without aptx (unlike my S9+). Therefore I simply think US LG G6 (in my case tmobile version) got screwed of that feature
Same situation.
Just wait oreo guys...

APTX on V20?

I recently bought an APTX compatible earphones and I don't know whether it's enabled or not as there's no notification saying 「You're using APTX codec」
I wanna ask is there any notification pops up when a APTX device is being connected?(I'm sure a notification will pop up when connecting APTX-HD device though)
APTX = no notification. APTX HD = notification

Can you take a screenshot of the notification? My bluetooth adapter for my car is advertised as APTX HD and I don't get a notification when I'm using it hm
I don't have a APTX HD device. The LG website says that the V20 is APTX HD compatible. Others have said that APTX alone doesn't give an icon, but APTX HD does.
If APTX HD device is connected, message will pop up saying APTX-HD device is being connected. However, it's a bit strange to hear that connecting APTX device will not get any message though.

I wonder if maybe this notification is only on the KR version
I have a non APTX Phone and a V20 and when I connect my APTX headphones to both I can tell a difference in sound quality right away. The V20 does not have any indication for APTX and that is a bit strange.

AptX [H870DS] - How to verify if AptX or AptX-Hd is working

Hi All,
I have purchased a bluetooth headset recently, which claims to be having AptX (not AptX-HD). I would like to know whether the headset supports AptX codec.
I believe the HiFi icon will be shown only with wired headset and that does not show up with wireless headsets.
I tried catching a logcat via adb, but I wasn't sure how to catch it up from the logs. I tried to change the options in developer settings too. I don't think that's the perfect way to do it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
D
Go into the developer mode and you will see there if the current bluetooth connection is SMB, AptX, AptX-HD or whatever.
