Hello,
The only reason i bought this phone was because it had LDAC bluetooth. This was great in the past but just recently ive noticed the sound is rubbish and upon checking it is stuck on "SBC" under "Developer options". When i try to change to LDAC it automatically reverts back to "SBC"?
Why? How can i get the LDAC Codec working? I specifically run Sony MX1000MX2 and MX3's for LDAC and specifically bought this phone for that reason?
Is it possible? Or do i need to change to LG to get good bluetooth from a mobile?
Thanks
Ed
Is your rom still stock? The December Pie update has broken aptx and also ldac (from what you are saying).
And downgrading to Oreo is more complicated because doing it the normal way will softbrick the phone after the Pie update. There was a thread describing the steps so search for it if you want to downgrade.
Or wait and see if there is a workaround under Pie or wait for Xiaomi to fix this issue - make a bug report and contact support.

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.

@CZ Eddie - any success on this?
I'd really like to get atpX working on my Nougat ROM...

Yeah, it works fine on my Nougat Resurrection Remix.
Just unzip the attached zip.
Copy the two lib files to /system/vendor/lib
Make them rw-r-r- for permissions.
Reboot and you should be good to go.

Bad ass man!
I am on RR too so this is cool, after this the headphones just pick up the codec automatically?
edit: would be good to make a flashable zip too.

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.

Someone has managed to activate - built this feature on Oreo LG G6.
Bluetooth headphones - turn on the ringing into bandwidth.
Allow ringtones to be played through bluetooth headphones.
I include it as a developer option, but it does not work.
Android Oreo 8.0 EU LG-H870 20A STOCK ROM.
This option is very necessary for my work.
Any luck?
Any chance of having someone look into this?
Fairly common issue for LG users. I also need this function for work. As much as I dislike iPhone I may be returning to one if Android is going to make us a wait another 5 years for this to work.
I installed GSI Roms like Pixel Experience, RR both ROMs have issue when using bluetooth call.
Tried with Skype or Whatsapp call, sound will go to phone speaker.
Bluetooth audio (non call) is fine though.
I tried to do bluetooth call from my pc using the same headset and it works normally.
Anybody having the same issue ?
Need help please
It's a massive issue with Android 9, not the Nokia 6.1 plus in particular. I'm returning my 6.1 plus tomorrow due to this problem. It cost me more than the phone to have my car's Bluetooth firmware brought up to be fully 5.0 compliant, but it made no difference.
Google completely **** the bed with Bluetooth on this release, and from what I can see online there's no fix in sight. Android die hard users are jumping ship to Apple all over the place due to this problem.
Short answer, if you want working Bluetooth calls on this device, flash an 8.1 Oreo build, then it will work.

I suspect the same thing.
I saw phhuson have bounty for GSI bluetooth call issue.

Punch your symptoms into google "android 9 bluetooth call problems" or "android 9 bluetooth car problems" and you'll get hundreds of forum listings with thousands of examples of the same or similar behaviour, usually but not always associated with a stock android device such as any android one handset, or the pixel etc... Some 3rd party builds are also affected, OnePlus and Samsung users are reporting problems.
Hey people,
I am wondering if your k20 or mi 9t 's LDAC and apt-x/hd are working?
I havr the eea and then flashed eu stable 10.3.14. When i tried connecting Sony wf1000xm3, i can only use sbc or aac. Changing the codec in developer settings doesnt stick and reverts back to sbc or aac.
Can you tell me if you phone's ldac or apt-x is working? anf also the hardware model (k20?9t?) and android os (stock eea?global? or eu?)
Thank you in advance!
just to eliminate other possibilities a bit, i connected wf1000xm3 with samsung s10 and ldac has no problems...

I can't even select the audio codecs on developer options, I click on Qualcomm aptx and it doesn't do anything.
Aptx is working for me
I have tested basic aptx just once and it worked. I don't have access right now to check again and can't say about other codecs. mine is global eea.
Hello there,
some of you probably know Android has a problem with Bluetooth audio quality when there is another device for example a watch or other wearables connected.
The s8 was one of few phones which solved that problem for me, because enabling the dual audio function would allow higher bitrates on sbc. However after the last update which included the security patch from August the problem reoccurred.
Is there any place where I can trustfully download the old version of firmware eg the July update? I would like to try if that really caused the problem because the changelogs are not giving it away. I have been searching endlessly and I have come to the point where I would actually pay for it...
Greetings
Daniel

you cant download that portion of the firmware that im aware of as it has to do with the bluetooth stack overflow which goes into far more than just the audio eq portion of the software. Have you gone into developer options to look at the options there?

Im talking about the firmware from the July 2019 update. I wasnt planning on changing only the BT stack.
Yes I have been in the Developer options, but changing stuff there doesnt change anything. There have been topics on this on reddit and also a youtube video which shows the difference betweeen dual audio on and off...
obviously they changed something in the august 2019 update without noting it in the changelog.
The thing is: it seems its pratically impossible to download official firmware from samsung other than the newest one. its so frustrating, but i dont wanna give my credit card to these shady websites, they dont even accept paypal...

you can only notice the difference when using bluetooth audio with for example a fitness tracker connected at the same time.
