Hi

I have been searching for a way to enable aptx HD bluetooth codec for use with my aptx HD headphones, my model is an Eynos model and at the event Samsung stated it is compatible with aptx HD. My headphones only connect to my S9 plus in aptx but not HD like they do with other phone's. Does anyone know if the s9 plus actually has aptx HD or were we lied to? It's not even an option in developer's options menu. Any solutions? Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] WorldIRC:
I've only been able to enable LDAC (which is fine since I have Sony headphones). I can't see any option on the SD model for APTX HD.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] skivnit:
There's no apxhd on exynos either.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] seezy:

No aptx HD :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ramheer:
I noticed that too, why did Samsung state it in their event when its not on the handsets?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] seezy:
So is there any announcements for aptx had? Can't find any statements on Samsung website or blogs.

So a friend own the SD S9+, Mine is exynos and since I noticed SD nor exynos got aptx hd.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] stallthedigger:
Do you have any idea what 'Samsung HD' is? I presume it's something proprietary, but I've found loads of nothing via Google - even on Samsung's own site.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ixman:
The lack of AptX HD is strange on a flagship like S9+. At least we have LDAC but you need to go in Developer Mode to enable it. Why? Don't get it. Anyway their history of bluetooth stack is less than stellar to say the least.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] icemankent:
It is there, among a long list of others.

1. Enable Developer Options

2. In Developer Options, scroll down to Bluetooth Audio Codec

The list is:

SBC (this was selected when I went into the menu)

AAC

aptX

LDAC

Samsung HD

Scalable Codec

All codecs

Default codec

Now, I have no idea how the system (manages) theses - especially if you select (All codecs), or if you select one (like aptX), if it will only work with that.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Huigie:
Where is AptX HD in that list?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pychobj2001:
I can't get aptx to stay in Dev options. You can switch it to it. But when you leave and come back. It's back at sbc
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] @Class:
Same for me... What's the point in enabling these options if they don't work. Samsung fail.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] discy:
For me, if I'm connected to an aptx enabled device it selects itself automatically (and the option stays selected in dev options). Also, only while connected to an Aptx device, can I switch between SBC and Aptx.

For some reason I can't select AAC over Aptx, while the device I'm connected to does support both aptx as well as aac.

Edit: I can also confirm it supports AAC. Just tested it with an AAC only device (so no aptx support). Again, it just autoselects and doesn't use SBC.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] DroidBois:
S9+ here, looking at Monster Sports headphones.

Did anyone get AptX or any kind of quality codec going..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] rusty.gh:
same

Same issue, I have the Sony BX950BT and I hold down the volume up when I turn them on and it activates ACC / aptX Mode.

However on the SGSP+ even messing with developer options, I cannot get it to connect/stay active.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
My LG's support AptX, my S9+ (and my old S8+) both default to that coded by default. When using my home received it defaults to SBC. I think it should use whatever the BT device supports.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Amd4life:
I agree this was a major oversight by Samsung in the current firmware. Why not just enable it native like LG.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Mananhiteshkataria:
Guys samsung as far as i can see on qualcomms website doesnt state aptx hd supoort only aptx quite unfortunate tbh
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] BubbaGumprc:
Honestly how can a "flagship" phone from the top mobile maker not include aptx HD. My pixel 2xl, LG v30 had it. Hell a oneplus 6 has it. Honestly between this and the USB-C audio issues this will be my last Samsung phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] DroidBois:
I'm just using LDAC with Sony which is heaps better anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
First of all, in order to use a higher codec, your headphones have to support that codec. You can't turn on a codec that is not "understand" by your headphones.

My Sony WH-1000XM2 supports SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD and LDAC. My S7 Edge (Oreo) supports all, except aptX HD. Best quality is via LDAC (supposedly on the highest quality is even better than aptX HD).

The Samsung HD is actually called Samsung UHQ Audio - I have a pair of Samsung Level U Pro headphones that supports it. Not able to hear a quality difference between aptX and UHQ on those headphones, both sound "good" for in-ear (not as good as over the ear).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Vadwiser:
Hey Guys,

I'm glad to report that I managed to activate the AptX option on my S9+ (6Gb RAM and inner 256Gb version)> mine it's an Exynos running genuine Oreo, knox untouched. I must say there is no AptXHD in my list, only AptX.

I couldn't change from SBC to AptX until I tried to activate the Media Volume Sync in the Bluetooth options menu. The phone asked me then to turn off the Dual audio feature. After that changing the codec was not a problem anymore. I can't try any other codecs because I have only AptX headphones. Have a great day, all!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] FYL21:
Any news on this? On my Note 9 I still only see AptX listed after the Pie update, and Samsung HD has been removed. I don't have any AptX HD headphones but I find it ridiculous if Samsung still jumped ship when Pie should support AptX Adaptive (and therefore AptX HD).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
I am updating this thread. I have traded-in my S9 for an S10... AptX HD is still missing there too.

PS: My old moto G4 Plus got updated to Android 8.1 and this pic shows is what it has on the Developer Options. My Sony headphones can connect on that phone either as LDAC or AptX HD.

No other phones are supported, soo dont be soo ungry with samsung

Note: yoy can install aptX HD if you root your phone
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] gangsta101:
This is a very unfortunate comment. "No other phones are supported", Samsung phones cost an arm and a leg more than all the other unsupported Android phones. You are talking premium 1000USD phones, some of which have a qualcomm SOC, and yet do not support the APTX HD codec.

Also i do not know where you pulled your list from, but it happens to be very incomplete, glaringly omitted are the pixel phones. Also most android devices with Oreo+ have this codec by default, which makes the omission by Samsung all the more revolting.

Now the reason i was looking up aptx HD posts on XDA was because I recently bought a Fiio F9 Pro and was considering buying one of their bluetooth DACs (hopefully the M5, if they ever get to release it), and i downloaded the Fiio Music APP, and the app can enable the LDHC codec (developed by Huawei) locally. Meaning non-Huawei phones that have the app installed can run the LDHC codec as long as they have a device that supports it (obviously) such as said Fiio bluetooth DAC.

I was wondering how is the Fiio APP able to achieve this, and since it is possible to use an App to enable a codec that a device does not support natively, are there any apps that can achieve this for APTX HD? i have looked around and cannot find this (the fiio music app only does this for LDHC). Or is there a non-root solution to enable APTX-HD.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] EclipseX:
Just search a litle bit on google to find that list =)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] FYL21:
That list is far from complete. Even Huawei devices can support AptX HD, so "patents with Qualcomm" or "only having Qualcomm SOC" isn't the problem.

More and more recent devices are mentioned here but Samsung is still missing.

https://www.aptx.com/products?field_aptx_type_tid=483&field_product_category_tid=126

Last year Samsung developer considered bringing AptX Adaptive (which is backward compatible with AptX HD and LL) into an update but never went on with it. It's ridiculous because AptX Adaptive was supposed to come standard with Android Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bluefish196:
I find terrible that the Level line of headphones use AptX HD when you play Hi Res files but if you try them now, they are unusable with all the sputtering.

I personally own one, I was considering to complain with my local state attorney.

They chose to remove the Codecs from the Oreo to Pie so they can force you to buy the Buds that use their Scalable codec which is a little better than SBC.

Then During the Pie update I got SAMSUNG support to send a bug report and guess what, next update AptX yet they haven't fix UHQ audio over bluetooth so, you can not play music in DSD64 with sputtering.

I am really over this, I don't have the time to root it and try to add a feature that Oreo supported.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] iH8Ecchi:
Hi everyone.

I'm preparing to have my phone rooted. While the process doesn't seem intimidating (I've had an Xperia rooted some years ago), what disturbs me is a kill switch hidden by Sony software devs - MyXperia Theft Protection.

Basically, if you accidentally enable MyXperia on a device with unlocked BL, it will hard brick your device without warning. This has been stated in Sony's UBL site, and i've seen some case of devices getting bricked due to this - Mostly M4 Aqua's. So here I have 2 questions:

- Is this also a case for our device, and has there been anyone bricked/recovered from this issue?

- Is there any way to hide that option from the Settings menu? Since with that thing around it's too easy for someone with malicious intent to brick another guy's rooted phone.

I'm looking forward to your answers. Thanks for reading.

EDIT: Just found out that Sony has discontinued MyXperia and replaced it with Google's Find my Device, but they seem to forgot to remove the kill switch in their devices. Great job, Sony.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
with all due respect

you research should have been more on pampering DRM KEYS rather than damage control/theft protection app (my xperia / find my device)

the Real devil in the details is saving TA.IMG. which is only possible in few lucky handsets and X is one of them!

this is what happens once you boot unlock! (drm keys lost)

https://developer.sony.com/develop/...ty/current-platform-functionality-maintained/
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] iH8Ecchi:
I know about the DRM keys and how to back it up.

The thing that worries me though, is that after unlocking there's a "self-destruct" button in my Settings menu. I couldn't care less about security/device protection, but someone with malicious intent or a drunk me at 3am can easily destroy my phone within a few taps is a big concern.

Step 12: BE CAREFUL and, from now on, DON’T ENABLE the MyXperia. It could hard brick your phone.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
on my z5p, i am using myxperia since ever!

may be it applies to x series
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] iH8Ecchi:
Even on unlocked bootloader?

That is a strange thing to hear. Most of the bricked cases i've heard are from M4 Aqua's. Maybe the guy in that XZ thread was being cautious.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] iH8Ecchi:
I just found out that freezing the MXP app using Titanium removes the option from Settings menu.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MobilePhoneUser:
Hi all,

I've been at these forums a few weeks now and am starting to understand much about the PPC (I have a Tilt), software, ROM's etc.

But the one thing still confusing me is the Connection and Proxy Settings for AT&T.

Specifically, my phone has 4 connection set up: MediaNet/AT&T ISP/My Work Network/MY ISP. Why so many different settings and when are each one used or otherwise needed?

As for proxy settings, there seems to be 2. One setup in the phone connection settings, and then a "hidden" proxy. What are each of these used for and what are the advantages/disadvantes to turning each one off/on?

And finally how does WiFi fit into all of this, if at all?

Thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
ok, i'm gonna take a stab at this see if i can get this right......pls feel free to correct me

AT&T isp - this one use the isp.cingular gateway, it is basically the one you use if you have a tethering plan (now tethering without a thethering plan is a whole different story altogether)

MediaNet - this uses the wap.cingular gateway, and you use this if you have a medianet unlimited or pda personal unlimited plan

My Work Network - use this if you want to connect to a vpn network

My ISP - this one has no connection setting whatsoever (at least for at&t) and just leave it at this one if you dont have a data plan and just want to use wifi.

the hidden proxy......its used if you want to access at&t services such as cingular video and the medianet homepage, as for the "other proxy" you mentioned......i have no idea what will happen if you disable it, i just leave it as it is.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fizzie:
I have an OEM HTC Kaiser with no mods whatsoever ( I dont want any awwww Sh%$ts!!) I go to the ATT website, Support by Device for my connection answers and nice screenshots on the settings. I think there is only one that didn't apply to my device...the hidden proxy one. Seems to help me with my problems

Those connection settings get me going too!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
for the hidden proxy, you just need to find the enable proxy and disable proxy cabs. you can make shortcuts to both cabs in your start menu or wherever for easy access (just like the at&t roms). those cabs are all over the forums......search for it

I have always been a big fan of Nova Launcher Prime but having just received the S9, I thought I would give the stock launcher a go. The only thing that annoyed me was how bright and white everything was.

To remedy that I used some tips from this page:

https://goo.gl/tPfLM6(it wouldn't let me use the original android.gadgethacks URL)

Theme:

I couldn't find the "Material Black" theme mentioned on that site so I went with "[MINU]Black Edition V2".

I installed the .apks (BlacknotificationsOnly & Blackframework) and rebooted.

Navbar:

It annoyed me how I couldn't just select a black or transparent navbar. Hiding it (immersive mode) seemed inconvenient, so I went with "Navbar Apps" (available free on play store) which allows you to pick a pre-set/custom colour or even an image to use for the navbar. Again, transparent only didn't seem to work, so I stuck with black which I am more than happy with.

Navbar Apps on playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps

I am pretty happy with the result so far but I can feel myself being drawn back to Nova in the future, just for the clean look and more customisation options.

p.s. for anyone interested

I've moved my theme on to "Mattblack" now which I spotted on another post - http://www.samsung.com/global/themestore/index.html?appId=com.set.mattblack.common&SITE_CODE=uk

I originally restored the Nova setup which I was using on my S7 but it just didn't feel right and I couldn't be bothered sorting it out. Also I have noticed that the battery drains fairly quickly, it is the first week so I still have AOD and some nice shiny settings on to show off the phone. I think I am going to have to have a look through everything and see what I can turn off/down/live without, when I get time. How is yours looking after a week?

Battery could be better, but it lasts the day from morning until next morning. SoT About 5h.

Material Black is available for the S9/S9 now - guess they had to make an update for compatibility. It's not free, but I tried a trial and WOW is everything black. Maybe a bit took black (i.e., dark grey might be easier to handle), but still quite nice looking.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] wmharley:
I'm trying the stock launcher, but while its nice, I do feel Nova knocking. Mainly because i'm so used to 6 icons in my bottom tray (dialer, chrome, maps, contacts, messages,camera along with the app button) that it seems odd without it. I like how I can swipe up, and my son was having a hard time trying to find my games (his sister who found it right away), but I'm going to give it a bit more time.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] radiohead14:
eleven os black theme takes care of that for you, including the nav bar. I like how it's blacked out, but has slight color touches throughout, preventing it from looking dull.

Sorry, I've just noticed I no longer have the black search bar, so it must have been part of the theme "Black_Edition_V2". I'm now using the theme "Mattblack" and I don't have the black search bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] radiohead14:
again.. you guys don't need to install separate things when one theme does it. look at my previous post.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Serfrost:
For an overall black theme I'd recommend Substratum + Andromeda companion app (required for the S9,) though not free. And then I would get the Swift Dark theme, which also isn't free. So you're overall looking at around $5 (I can't check the price now.) It will take a minute to learn how to use it effectively since you need to select specific App Update Versions for what you have installed, reboot once or twice, but it's not that difficult at all.

Skin not compatible with Facebook. Will work for Messenger but only App Version 145 and 146 Stable. (See 2nd image.)

I use LockClean, Navbars, and Swift Dark when it comes to Substratum ... pretty much handles everything except for Facebook itself, which is a huge shame.

The icons pack I use is from Samsung Themes; Black_Edition_V2 by MINU

My launcher is just Nova Launcher Prime.

How about your notifications? I gave up on Andromeda/Substratum because no matter what, I just couldn't find notifications that looked "normal"

The only one that's came up weird for me is my VPN notification but it doesn't really bother me. Everything else has been fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Accalia-Tan:
I tried Substratum but it required being Cabled to the PC and it was very finicky on install, rebooting broke the theme and then my notifications turned orange ;w; I am probably doing it wrong but.
