kitkat - Bluetooth problem - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I'm running on kitkat C6806.
I buy yesterday the new Philips Fidelio E5, HiFi wireless with some function.
I try to connect with Nfc (and bluetooth); pairing immediately ok.
I start walkman (after thatn poweramp and other music player) but the sound is bad, interference was really hard and i stop immediately or i will damage the hifi
I try with note 3 and....work perfectly!!!
So Philips (really new product) is incompatible with z ultra?!?! I hope no.... I try to connect z ultra with onkyo ls-3100 (other kind of hifi, similar) and work good. The Philips is really new product and with Z ultra don't work?????

If you've got any sound enhancements on the ultra you need to disable them. The fidelio wants as clean a sound as possible so it can do effective processing. Any base or treble enhancement or surround will be amped ridiculously through the fidelio and therefor be distorted very easily. Start with totally flat sound and work from there.

I don't use any sound enhancements in 4.4.2 (i used when I was on Jellybean)
So I try as you suggest me but I think the app that I used to try the bluetooth are free about surround etc etc.
Only one thing I rememeber , when i connect the ls3100 onkyo the small icon was similar an hi fi, when i connect the Philips the icon is like headphone/microphone... so it recognize wrong?

the problem dnt solve.... z ultra don t work with philps fidelio and i think i will sell the z ultra

Xperia Mini best hadsfree for music?

Hi, guys!
I'm new in the Mini section. I've been using X10 Mini for almost an year, but now I'm with a Xperia Mini 2011.
In the past I was using MH810 handsfree and it was having a pretty nice sound, sound remote control on the wire, but it is incompatible with the Mini.
So which handsfree with sound remote control is compatible with the Mini? Only SE Live Sound or there are others?
Thanks in advance for the info!
The 2011 xperia line uses a diferent type of protocol for the 3,5mm connector that's why other headsets are incompatible. I think that your only choices are the models released by Sony Ericsson i.e. Livesound.

I currently have Sony MW600, Hi-Fi Wireless Headset, works via Bluetooth, quality is good enough, costs also less than LiveSound, also has remote control buttons Play/Pause, Next/Previous and volume.
But what you mean, that is incompatible with Mini? Just give it a try, according to me, you have nothing to lose...
The 3.5 mm jacks of the X10 Mini and the Xperia Mini are different - that's why they're incompatible and the wonderful MH810 handsfree cannot work on the Xperia Mini.
What about putting a 3.5 mm jack on to a HPM 82 handsfree instead of the fast-connector - will it work?
I'm asking because MH1 Livesound is not being sold in Bulgaria, so I should order it from amazon.uk maybe.
What do you mean, that does not work? No sound or controls don't work or what?
Take a look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229622
summary: buy the gadget linked there and get any iphone compatible headset you want.
Someguyfromhell, I mean the jacks are DIFFERENT!!! Why don't you look at them in Google? Why should you ask that questions, as I have already explained that twice?!

It's not directly the phone, that has different jack. Both have 3.5mm jacks, it doesn't make any difference at all.
The headset has additional part, which is...I have no idea, what for. Probably additional functions from the remote control.
One way would be to try getting rid of this additional chip thing, if you are willing to take that risk.

Why do u continue with that stupid... suggestions?! Getting rid of the additional contact-strips will make the remote control of the handsfree completely useless and I will not be able to recieve calls, or sell the handsfree to some X10 Mini owner.
Even Nokia headsets work with Xperia mini, i was shocked to see old nokia headset to be working with my st15i, button, microphone, everything.
If you want really good sound - buy big , normal headphones.

I've tried Nokia headphones a few days ago, they did have remote control for the music player on the wire, but... they didn't worked with the mini. Or at least the remote control didn't. There was sound, but no control over it. Maybe because they were a cheap Chinese copy.
I found my old X1 lead, it has a socket on the mic for use with any headphones
Also old SE HPM-80 in ear headphones are good

Yep, they're like HPM 82 with display on the remote control, but with a fastport again. I'll try to solder a 3.5mm jack to a HPM 82 handsfree (to replace the fastport), but I may not succeed because there are 8 or 9 cables out of the wire and only 4 holes to solder them on the 3.5mm jack...
using easy sennheiser headphones, awesome for less money
I've got second hand Sony Ericsson MH1 for half price. Not so special, good sound, not better than the old HPM-82 or MH810 for example. And the lack of a clip for hanging on the neck piece is obviously a disadvantage! The free is constantly slipping down and pulling the ears - very annoying!
The lack of separate buttons for changing the music tracks is also a disadvantage - music tracks are changed with continuous pressing the volume buttons of the handsfree's remote control, not with separate buttons like on the HPM-82 or MH810. But it seems that this is due to the 3.5mm jack cable-number connectivity limitation. The MH810 has some additional ports on the side of the 3.5mm jack, which allow it to have more buttons on the remote control, while MH1 doesn't have them on the jack.
guys i've been looking for budget headphones that would fit in xperia mini's jack
i don't know if it would help but i tried couple of nokia headphones that worked with the device along with the samsung corby pro's stock stock headphones and they all worked currently im considering buying
MEElectronics M9-SL
or the
iLuv iEP322BLK citylights
but i don't know if any of those is compatible with the xperia mini anyway so advice would be appreciated
Note:I just want music to my ears
Xperia Mini has regular 3.5 mm jack, so you can use any headphones(with 3.5mm jack) with the phone.

[Q] Anyone have a sound solution for my xperia s?

few things gone wrong in my en-devour to play all my music from my xperia s to my car sound system with spotify, i will try explain as best i can.
using the auxiliary jack output to the auxiliary jack input on my car stereo results in poor sound quality with my sub and sound system. (this isnt the case with my ipod nano though, although i just found out i cant sync my offline music from spotify to solve the problem easily, and i could use the usb input on my car stereo which results in even better sound quality)
if a bought a bluetooth stereo and connected my xeperia s to my car stereo through bluetooth, would the sound quality come through pumping and clear like it does with my ipod through usb connection or auxiliary?, or is it going to be much quieter like when i connect my phone through the auxiliary?
i have tried connecting my sony xperia s to my sony headdeck with a usb cable but that dosnt work either to try improve sound quality, it wont read it. Not even if i mount the usb and yada yada
or anyone know of any other solutions to solve my delima?
apologies if this is in the wrong section, i am noob!

Nope not yet, been a bit worried doing it with such a new phone and voiding my warranty if i cant root back. Do you think this will stop the sound comming out the auxially jack quieter?

sound quality over bluetooth from different devices

one of the reasons I liked the z ultra is because it supports aptx. BUT i have tried all mods and players and when I play songs from my z ultra on my sennheiser mm450x which supports aptx the sound so much worse than my iPad mini which does not support aptx.
I am really do wondering why different devices give different sound quality over bluetooth, I am confused as I thought that the deciding factor is the bluetooth protocol not the device.

have you tried turning off wifi?
Reason I ask is that with wifi on, the max speed bluetooth 4.0 and send/receive is 80kb/s
With wifi off... bluetooth 4.0 can almost get about 200kb/s
remembering that aptX is only supposed to be CD quality sound... i.e. 128kb/s

never ever thought wifi has an effect on bluetooth, I will test without wifi
no it did not help turning the wifi off.
I had a big fight the official sennheirser agent here in Israel, as I thought the sennheiser headset was not working properly, so when we tested it with other phones and tablets the sound was great.
I am getting bad quality with aptx over bluetooth using the z ultra, I really don't know why.
The bass is distorted and the treble right in my face so irritating, I don't know I thought the aptx would improve sound quality bu it did not, I really wish someone can tell me if the sound quality over bluetooth is device related or buetooth related. As I am getting a great sound using an iPhone and iPad mini but with the z ultra all I get is rubbish sound.
Guys I think I will move on and accept selling my device as that is not acceptable anymore unfortunately i put the phone for sale over a month ago and no one called about it
LORDMANHATTAN I will miss you watching and policing my threads, I think I am done here once someone buys it

I had the LG Tone+ aptx headphones, and I would constantly get garbled bluetooth audio. I exchanged them for BluebudsX that don't have aptx, no more garbled audio. I had a jambox (BT 3.0 I believe and non-aptx) and upgraded to an aptx BT 4.0 speaker, and I'm experiencing garbled audio again. It happens once and awhile and it's annoying considering the quality is much better when it's not stuttering.
I would switch off wifi and I think (placebo?) it would get better. I was thinking maybe bbluetooth and wifi signals were messing with each other, but shouldn't that be a non-issue in 2014?
Are you sure about the Bluetooth bitrate and wifi on/off? Can you link me to something?
BTW, CD quality audio is 320 kb/s. 128 is a pretty heavily compressed mp3.
Let's get clear cd quality is only possible through loseless audio format such as flac, alac or wav just for mention a few ones.
So if you have a mp3 file at 320 kbps is compressed audio in a lossy codec, so it might sound good but it's not cd quality, and definitely sound muchs better than a mp3 file at 128 kbps, the higher the bitrate the better the quality of the sound.
Aptx standard is programmed to work with no loss up to 320 kbps, that means if you use aac at 441 kbps or flac at 1015 kbps it will anyway lose some quality.
Aptx loseless has been released, and it promises in the paper, it will work flawlessly with loseless files.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to use the new aptx loseless, but it might be just marketing....
Sbc is the ordinary codec used in bt audio streaming, and it also depends in versions of the sbc, but i stream audio from my old ipad 3 with no aptx to a lg bt speaker, with no aptx, sound is great, just as good as my xperia z3 streaming to my harman kardon aptx bt speaker.
So... Not a big fan of aptx

[Q] Note 3 compatible earphones with fully functional volume controls!

So there it is. The majority of the headphones are made for Apple. No fully functional remote control with Samsung phones. Thanks to Apple, again.
Is there a well known list of quality in ear monitors with 100% Samsung (Note 3) compatibility?
I'm using Sony Ericsson MW-600 for few years now. I've used them on my galaxy S2 then S3 and now on my note 3.
They feature:
One of the best quality audio performance
Microphone and call answer key
Multipoint Bluetooth and A2DP for wireless music streaming
Compatible with Sony Ericsson handsets and other bluetooth-enabled handsets
3.5mm jack to swap headphone
I hope I helped.

Tab S7+ Bluetooth headphones lag

Does anyone else have lag on their Bluetooth headphones when watching videos ? YouTube VLC Netflix etc all have a slight delay for me and it's driving me nuts!! Tried with Huawei freebud 3 and honor flypods so far and both the same

This is a normal behaviour from Bluetooth headphones. In general there is a delay for about 180ms for most of the pods on the market.
If you use a player where you can set an offset like "MX Player" or Kodi you can workaround this issue with settings during the playback of the video.
I for myself have bite the bullet and buyed a good usb-c-to-3,5mm-adapter with the TabS7+: https://en.sharkoon.com/product/28276 . The adapter is very good and you find it for relatively low money (about 15€) on Amazon and it works out of the box very well with the TabS7+. Then there is no delay between video and audio anymore.
It is a shame that it is "hip" that on most modern phones and tablets the manufacturer chooses to exclude the good old and stable working 3,5 mm audio jack. Especially on the TabS7+ where for sure "space" it's no reason for this. So we have to work around the delays with software settings in apps or use an adapter.
The Galaxy Buds + have a Game Mode that can be enabled that minimizes the latency. I notice no lag with them like I have in the past with other bluetooth headphones.
The buds are working fine on the tab 7+.
But on my mobile phone Sony XPZ I have recognized a very short distance before the connection interrupt. Its enough if the phone is my jacket bag to lost the connection. Other BT headset was working fine with the phone.
I have used both Pixel Buds 2 and Samsung's Buds Live and neither have any issue with latency. I wouldn't be surprised if Huawei's and Honor's bluetooth headphones have no latency with their own phones.
I have a strong delay when using skype.
I use the Tab S7+ with Bose NC700 headphones via Bluetooth.
Does anyone else have this experience with Skype?

Huh. Not at all true that this is normal behaviour from bluetooth headphones because there is a huge time delay while using with S7+ but not from other devices....................... That's the main point.
