Haven't been playing music through bluetooth but have been watching TV shows and movies.

I have a cheappair of stereo X2T bluetooth hadphones and the sound is fine... Everything is clear with bass and treble being distinct, no clipping of sound and volume is good....

I also watch music video's too and sound throughthe Samsung Galaxy 8+ is stellar....

I haven't played around with any sound settings or filters and can't complain...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cool_head:
You’re absolutely right about this problem. LOW BITRATE when a smartwatch is connected!! I switched from a S8 to an iphone 7 because of this issue. I had a Gear S3 connected to the S8 and every time I listened to music I had to disconnect the watch Bluetooth. I complained several times in the Samsung store (Maybe 20 times), they replaced the phone and watch 2 times and the issue continued. As they don’t knew the problem origin and how to solve it, I returned the phone and the watch and they refunded me. Just for you to know, I have a pair of wireless beats studio V2, a JBL Xtreme speaker, and the car’s BMW Bluetooth sound system. The issue was present in all the equipments.

I got S7 EDGE and Bang Olufsen Beoplay E8. The sound quality throw bluetooth of Samsung is terrible. I checked also quality from Macbook 12 (2017) and is MUCH BETTER. HUGE DIFFERENCE, WHY? Both got BT 4.2.. I got last firmware. Any ideas?

Ps. Don't using Smartwatch.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] compu829:
I have an S8 Plus that I just got, (Qualcomm) and I have the same issue! I am extremely disappointed. The sound is muffled and clips, but the biggest issue is the popping and crackling noises in the audio. I literally have two bluetooth devices paired with this...my headphones and the car.

I know it's not my headphones because they work fantastic on my iPad 4 mini and my MacBook pro. In fact, I could hear a dramatic improvement thanks to the new Bluetooth audio codec when I tried them with an iPhone 7 plus when compared to the MacBook pro and the iPad. The S8 Plus sound is worse than my iPad and MacBook Pro.

I fixed my issue... I had to enable developer options and change Bluetooth AVRCP 1.4 to 1.6 and reboot.

I fixed this issue on my Samsung galaxy note 9 by going to deleloper options and setting Bluetooth Audio LDAC Codec to Optimised for quality
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xplod2841:
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and my Bluetooth audio was always working great until recently, when I bought a Xiaomi Amazfit Stratos 2 smartwatch. I started experiencing bad sound quality in my Ford Focus 2016 with SYNC2 entertainment system. The audio is OK, but it sounds like really low bitrate. The highs are distorted and, even though I'm not an audiophile, I like clean sound and it's driving me crazy. I noticed the same issue with some poor cheap Bluetooth speaker. But I have a pair of Pioneer SE-MJ651BT Bluetooth headphones and the sound quality on these is great.

So it works with Pioneer headphones but it doesn't work with my car and cheap BT speaker. After some research, I found out that my Pioneers are using a Bluetooth 4.0 with AAC support, while my car has a rather cheap/old BT device, which supports only Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. I guess the same is with the cheap BT speaker.

So, after reading this topic, I went to test a little bit in my car today. First I switched AVRCP to version 1.6 and I've set LDAC Codec Playback quality to "Optimized for Audio Quality". But it didn't make any difference. So I tried to switch Audio Codec to something else than SBC but it doesn't let me. When Bluetooth is or not connected to my car, it lets me switch to anything other. But as soon as I connect to my car, it switches back to SBC and it doesn't let me change it. This confirms that my car is using some ancient BT protocol without all these fancy things such as AAC/LDAC etc.

My question now is: what to do? Is this a Samsung bug or a BT hardware limitation? If first, I'll never ever buy Samsung again! If second, I'll just have to find some workaround. Because, the car is only 2 years old so there's no way I will upgrade the car or the audio system so soon. Interesting fact: I tried to put my watch into airplane mode, to make it disconnect from my phone, but it didn't make any difference. Because, if there's no other solution, turning off the watch every time I want to listen to BT music in my car would be a decent workaround, something that I can live with :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] alexwhittemore:
Just to add some cents, since I'm facing the same issues. In my car, I'm using a Tune2Air (Bovee) WMA-1000. Works perfectly in all regards for connecting a device to the stereo, with full wheel control support. But unfortunately, it ONLY supports the standard SBC codec (cheap bastards!)

A2DP codec negotiation is messy as hell. In theory, if two devices both support AAC or aptX or LDAC, they should use one of those. Generally, I find that those 3 are approximately equal in, I guess, liklihood you don't hate the audio result. Some are better than the others in some ways for some things. Anyway, in practice, even this isn't a guarantee. My macbook pro supports aptX and AAC, yet by default, my expensive AF sony headphones (that support both) would connect with SBC. I had to modify bluetooth stack settings to remedy that, and even after doing that, there seems not to be an optimal configuration where the Sony's connect via aptX, and other AAC-only headphones connect using AAC. I can either have aptX on sony and SBC on everything else, or AAC on everything.

So we're off to a bad start on "bluetooth stacks behaving in a way that makes sense"

SBC, on the other hand, CAN be good, but that's entirely down to the selection of good connection parameters, which is also a **** show. Namely, the devices need to agree to a sufficiently high bitpool value - lower means more compression means lower bandwidth and connection resilience for a given strength, but worse audio. In a car, where wireless interference and distance are at a minimum, you'd hope the devices would agree to a high value.

I used to use this device with a Nexus 7 running Android 5, and the connection was, at least, totally unobjectionable. Looking for things to get mad about, I couldn't find any.

I just replaced my car tablet with a Galaxy Tab A running 8, and boy, it sounds like trash. Of course, if I connect my nice Sonys, it sounds just dandy - they use aptX. But over SBC, it appears the bitpool is much too low. I need to diagnose this for an actual value on the n7 vs the tab a - haven't had the time yet.

Anyway, the internet seems to think that the solution to fixing crappy SBC parameters on Android is to modify the bluetooth module source, but that requires root - something I can't get yet for this tablet. So that's a bummer. Otherwise, it could be accomplished by Samsung simply using less ****ty defaults. Trying to get a ticket open with support now, but obviously that's a 99% likely dead end.

Enable developer options

(By tapping on build number 10 times in your settings > software info)

Go to bluetooth settings (inside developer options)

Change encoders to whichever you prefer

Performance optimisation to best quality

You will be amazed :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] alexwhittemore:
Unfortunately, the device in question only supports SBC, so changing codec isn't an option. And the performance setting only applies to the LDAC codec, specifically, so not relevant to me either :(

I posted some more relevant info over in a different bluetooth quality thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78820438&postcount=139
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xplod2841:
There's still no solution for this issue? Well, seems that I'll have to buy a new phone. But I'm scared that I will face the same issues. Can somebody confirm that Samsung has fixed this in S10+?

I managed to find a way to listen to music with good quality; if I uninstall my smartwatch's app, the sound returns to normal quality.

Unfortunately, recently my phone started acting even more weird. It does connect to my car audio but I can make only phone calls. The car doesn't recognize it as a Media device. When I go to Bluetooth settings on my phone, Media is turned off but I can't turn it on, the slider keeps returning back to off. Any other phone works fine in my car so it's not my stereo's issue (even though it's ancient Bluetooth protocol isn't helping neither).

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ampentium2:
This is 2nd time I encounter it. Waking up late without alarm just to realize that my phone actually been factory reset. I doubt that I actually sleepwalk and do the factory reset.

1. What could possibly be doing this? I have Mobile@Work and Sandblast Protect on the phone as part of company's email bundle. Could any of these software malfunctioned and trigger a factory reset? If I'm not mistaken they have the capability lock the device, but not exactly sure if they actually have that capability to trigger a reset.

2. Is it a sign of something bigger? Should I be worried and send it for RMA while I'm still under warranty? Or is it just a software glitch?

Details of the device, if it matters

at that price it would be an amazing buy even if its just for a back up i bought one and havent looked back sot is great most games run great just eui gets some getting used to but if you wanted you can change rom
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] frozenfirevr:
I have it, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it. The phone's design isn't very good (many don't bother, I didn't), battery life sucks, EUI sucks, IR Blaster is not very good, no NFC, notification light is very very bad, and gets EXTREMELY hot (I can't even hold it at times, and I don't even use it while charging). Just pass this. I do recommend Xiaomi though. But if I'm gonna buy a phone right now, it'll be Lenovo P2 (SD625, 4GB RAM, 5000+mAH), it's battery life is the best there is, and I've made a resolution to check the battery life from now on before purchasing phones. Also, SD625 should be able to do everything SD652 does.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
I've read around, and the gist of things regarding Verizon support seems to be:

- Verizon works fine as long as you activate the SIM in another phone and make sure the APN is set right

- Verizon MVNOs are a similar process, but whether it actually works and stays working or not depends on how annoying the MVNO decides to be

Tracfone specifically requires a Network Access Code that's included in its SIM kit, which is bound to the phone's IMEI number. I don't know how "standard" this is amongst MVNOs, since I was last on Page Plus using an old Droid 4 flashed for 3G-only, and they didn't use the same NAC-IMEI binding system (iirc).

So:

Is Tracfone as straightforward as mainline Verizon and other MVNOs, in that you just grab your already-activated SIM and pop it into the A7? Or does the NAC nonsense prevent hotswapping as such? Is anyone currently using an A7 on Tracfone?

I wouldn't expect root and exploit apps to remain on the play store for long, google has been cracking down on anything that changes the default android experience. Including Magisk, since it is technically an exploit like xposed. Its why you don't see xposed on the play store anymore. The future of app development outside of Google's hierarchy is going to be the use of repositories and 3rd party open-source app stores like f-droid to distribute open-source community apps. I honestly got tired of garbage sketchy proprietary ad-infested apps all over google play store locking useful features behind paywalls. Since moving to f-droid, I never looked back.

These are the cheap AndroidTV 6 boxes you can find on eBay, Amazon, Walmart, et al. I'm not concerned with rooting the device, from what I've read that's not possible (at least not if you don't want it permanently tethered to a PC). I am interested in using an external hard drive as external (_NOT_ internal) storage without having to format it FAT32, is that possible?

My issue is, I have a Seagate external hard drive that I would like to use both as a general backup device, and as portable storage for my movie and music collection. My desktop PC runs Ubuntu Linux and I do have files I would like to backup that require (or at least would benefit from) a filesystem that is case-sensitive and preserves Linux permissions. I've tried formatting the drive as ext2, 3 and 4 on my desktop PC and AndroidTV recognizes it, but will not mount it, I only have the options to prepare the drive as "Internal" or "External" storage. If I prepare it as internal storage, I find that it's formatted as FAT32 with a similar directory structure as the SD card in my Android phone. If I prepare it as external storage, I find that there is a single partition that my desktop sees as "unknown" (I'm assuming it's an encrypted ext2, 3 or 4 fs). Partitioning doesn't help, I've tried splitting the drive evenly between FAT32 and ext4 partitions and my AndroidTV box can see and mount the FAT32 partition but cannot safely unmount it (I'm assuming because of the second partition that it can't do anything with).

Is there anything I can do, without rooting the device, to get it to recognize ext2, 3 or 4 (or literally _any_ other Linux compatible, case-sensitive filesystem) as external storage?
