I have tried several ways to change the Bluetooth codec to aptx hd on my mate 10 pro. I have a pair of aptx compatible Sennheiser headphones.
But in the developer Bluetooth options the changes does not seem to stick.
When the headphones are paired i can not change anything. It jumps to aptx automatically.
If i disconnect i can change all the Bluetooth audio settings. But the change back as soon as i leave the developer settings or connect my headsett.
Help please!
No fix available. Emui8 has had this issue forever. Just be glad that your device goes to aptx.

Hello, I have a rooted lg v30 running boombox rom v.0.10.
The main reason I decided to buy the lg v30 was it superior audio quality. I also have LDAC supporting bluetooth headphones from sony so I was waiting quite eagerly for the LDAC support coming with oreo. I just learned today that there are additional bluetooth settings within the developer settings section.
But to my bewilderment I cannot change the settings to a higher quality. I mean I can choose the LDAC codec and the higher sampling rate but at the moment I connect the phone with the headphones it switches back to lowest standard settings... I installed the sony connect app to look if there was something to change there but it also did not show LDAC as an option after connecting to the phone. I am quite annoyed. Any Ideas what the problem could be? Is there a notification when a LDAC bluetooth connection is successfully established?
Thank you.

Ignore the app, it's completely unnecessary. Every time you connect your headphones, the settings are restored to default. Go to the bluetooth settings of your headphones before pairing them and change the 'Connection type' from Most stable to Best sound quality. This sets the highest quality codec your headphones supports as default. Go to Developer Options and change the sample rate to 44.1k or 48k and the LDAC Codec: Playback Quality to "Optimized for Audio Quality". Should have all settings stay supporting the max spec of both devices and software like Viper4Android. When you connect your headphones after doing this, a notification will appear at the bottom saying LDAC quality is enabled.

Thank you for your help - unfortunately that did not work for me. Like I said before I can choose the settings within the developer section before I connect with the headphones but the moment the bluetooth connection is established the settings switch to AAC ( which is not bad but it is not LDAC) and 44.1khz/16bits.
There is no notification regarding LDAC...
I updated the smartphone firmware yesterday to rule out some software related problems.
By now I am not sure if the problem rather originates from the headphones (wh-h900n) than the smartphone. Given that I just have one device that supports LDAC and one pair of LDAC headphones I don't know how I can determine which one is maybe not correctly working. [emoji52]

Answer:
1. Uninstalls that Sony Music Center (song pal) app
2. Remove your Sony LDAC headphones from your BT settings.
3. Pair your headphones again with your phone.
4. Go into BT settings. Click on the cog wheel next to your headphone device.
5. Choose Audio Quality over Stable connection.
6. You are all set.
Note. There is a toast message that appears once you're connected and established LDAC connection.
Since this is an Android One device and both Qualcomm's aptX & Sony's LDAC bluetooth codec is nativly supported in the AOSP code from Android 8.0 and up, I find it strange as to why LDAC seems to be disabled!
I tried to hook it up to my LDAC supported bluetooth speaker but it reverts to AAC, and I can also chose SBC ofc. Speaker doesn't support aptX but my headphones do and it works fine too.
My guess is that it supports SBC, AAC, aptX only.
I checked the system files and the libs for LDAC is there. I've tried to enable it with build.prop edit, tried different libs, but all without luck.
Why disable something like that? I know that it works fine on Motorola One Power after asking in their telegram group.
Have anyone else tried to enable it on Motorola One?
I'm interested in buying the Tab S6 and using it with a bluetooth DAC. Probably going to pair it up with a ES100 (MK2), Fiio BTR3 or Shanling UP2/4 DAC.
I was just wondering which bluetooth audio codecs are supported by the S6. Could someone enlighten me on this as Samsung doesn't list the specifics on this?
Thanks in advance.
I can say that LDAC is OK wih BTR3.
Today I used aptx low latency with my Fiio BT receiver.
Thanks for the input. So at least aptx ll and ldac are supported. That should be good enough for my needs.
Ok I got some time, lets go through every protocol with the BTR3 and the original control app:
I get the pink flashing APTX and light blue AAC accepted.
No luck with HWA, LDAC and APTX HD sadly, the FIIO app just states SBC instead. And SBC really sounds like crap.
Not sure about aptx LL, this always activates the regular APTX which then gets connected.
Hmm strange because civciv seems to be getting LDAC running with the BTR3.
LDAC is definitely supported. Just be sure to enable it in Fiio BTR3 submenu at system BT settings. The LED turns to white while listening to music.
Thanks for the update. Now to make up my mind about which bt dac to buy .

I have a FiiO BTA10 Bluetooth adapter for ATH-M50x headphones. It's listed as supporting AAC, SBC, aptX, and aptX LL.
On my Tab S6, when I go to Settings -> Developer Options -> Bluetooth Audio Coded, I see it's connected using aptX. I don't see an aptX LL option.
So my question is, how did you get aptX LL to work?

I was able to set it up in the FiiO Music App.
Hello guys. I have Honor 9 with Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.1 on it. And i can't change audio codec for bluetooth because this option is nowhere to be found in developer options. I have my headphones connected, but it doesn't work. No options for bluetooth audio. Weird.
I recently bought a pair of earbuds only to realize mate20 pro does not support APTX.
Launched developer settings, did not find APTX to be available under bluetooth codec when i paired my earbuds.
Can anyone else confirm on this? Emailed huawei, only for them to neither deny or confirm the missing driver. Huawei only mentioned that they will look into the matter.
I have a SHIVR and a SoundPeats bt headset/phone, both working with aptx , no problem under 9.1 or 10. Maybe headset fault?
Hi I have sabbat e12 ultra no problems with aptx
Its using aptX HD if device supports it, and falling back to regular aptX the rest conditions. There's no toggle, its not controllable manually.
