APTX - Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers

Quick question , does the Tab S3 have aptx ? looked everywhere cannot find answer

aptX is a function of the Bluetooth chip, not the OS. Snapdragon 820 supports aptX.

Its actually rather software. By all means though it needs to be activated in software, for example all the Google devices as well as AOSP based firmware have never supported aptX while Samsung devices do so at least since the Galaxy S4 no matter the SOC they use. Google have included aptX support into Android 8 though IIRC.
Anyway, the Tab S3 supports aptX.

FM Radio over Bluetooth - Listing models

Hello friends at XDA
I am a guy who is looking to listen radio over bluetooth, because I find it very useful and also I don't want to waste my money using the data for this.
I made a little research and I find that only a few models have this particular spec, and a promising app (Spirit2 FM) sadly is no longer supported because the death of their developer (RIP Mike Reid). There is some ways to make it work, but none of it with absolutely certain.
The idea of this post is make a list of the models that actually support this feature, an serves as a guide to others who are looking for this. For example, I tested my Xiaomi Mi Max with Miui 8 and it support FM over BT, but the Xiaomi Mi5c don't.
I know that is necessary to connect an earphones in order to work as an antenna.
The list will be : Brand - Model - OS/Version - SoC
Xiaomi - Mi Max - Miui 8.5.3 - Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650
Motorola - Moto G4 Plus - Android 7.1 - Qualcomm MSM8952 Snapdragon 617
Let's look if this idea works. If this post is in the wrong section, admins please move it to the right place. Thanks
Cheers!

Anyone haves an android phone who works with fm radio over bluetooth?

Sony LDAC, OP5 and Oreo 8.1

Have been thinking about picking up a pair of Sony WH1000XM2 that use the LDAC codec over Bluetooth. I was wondering if anyone else has a pair of these (or any Sony headphones that support LDAC).
I've read all the product reviews, I'm mostly wondering if LDAC works properly and if the sound quality and bluetooth reception is good on the OnePlus5 (especially if you're on OpenBeta 6).
Thanks in advance for any insights!
I have the MDR1000X and this model works very well with LDAC and apt-X on every Open Beta version including Open Beta 6
To be honest, I can't hear any difference between LDAC and apt-x with aac 320kbit/s files.

I am interestred to know as well. I have a oneplus 5 with No Limits ROM (based on stock OOS stable 5.0.2) and I was planning to buy a pair of sony WH-1000xm2. Somebody have this model and can tell me if it works with LDAC?
LDAC works well with 5T OB4. I have the WH-1000XM2.

It's been a year I know, but for anyone wondering:
LDAC and all other Codecs are perfectly supported and working with the WH1000XM2 and Oneplus 5. I settled with AAC, since it is the best available codec still allowing to use the Sony Apps inbuilt equalizer.

Better bluetooth codec on LineageOS

Hi,
I just acquired a new Sony bluetooth headset but I suffer from terrible bluetooth quality (gaps of silence while listening, lag, low audio quality): it is barely usable.
Since the headphones provide support for the LDAC codec but apparently LineageOS 7 does not, what can I do?
The stock rom probably provides LDAC support. So does Android Oreo (and maybe LineageOS 8). Is there any way to benefit from the LDAC codec (the headphones also have aptx) on LineageOS 7 without having to go back to the stock rom or buy another phone? Is there a way to port LDAC support from the Z5C's official stock rom to LineageOS?
Thank you for your help

Bluetooth support for system EQ?

I've hogged this question around all phone manufacturers, and the only phone that supports it that I know of is LG V series. OPPO itself ignored the question, so if someone could test...
Also, what about aptX... does it have it?

Disappointing, I remember back in 2014 people complaining that MaxxAudio wasn't supported by BT in OPPO Find 7. It's extraordinary that these blasted companies ditch the audio jack and expect people to use BT without the system EQ, which is far superior to the bucket-load of poor third-party EQ apps.
OnePlus 7 Pro doesn't support it, according to support. Sony Xperia 1 I now know does, so it's a choice between that and LG.
Reno 10x has aptx HD via Bluetooth. It means you can enjoy almost lossless audio if you have right headphone. I have an audio Technica Bluetooth headphone with aptx HD. Works amazing with the Reno. Perfect and Crystal clear sound. The problem with aptx HD headphones is that they are expensive. The one i have is 300 $.

Question ANT+ support in Galaxy S23 series phones?

Hey all,
because the S23 phones are not listed on thisisant.coms certified device database and because I can't find ANT+ listed in official Samsung device specs:
Is there ANT+ support build in?
Every galaxy S series since S4 had it and listed it, but I miss this information for S23.
Would be nice if one could test support with the ANT Tester app from Quantrity and post a screenshot.
Thanks.
it says "no" here for internal ANT support (device is SM-S918B, EUX)....
Built-in ANT detected:
No
USB On-The-Go support:
Yes
