[Q] Using multiple bluetooth devices at once

Hello
Is it possible to use more than one bluetooth device at the same time with the Galaxy S2?
I want to use the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headphone socket AND the Sony Ericsson Liveview.
Will connecting both devices work? Will I lose connection quality by doing this?
Probably, as far as i know only the headset uses the audio profile, so it shouldn't interfere.

Well only the headset outputs sound, but I think both the headset and the liveview can change music volume / skip tracks etc.

I don't know what language that is in, I can't understand it.
What does it say? Why would you give me a non-English video?
bump thread
I don't understand the language either, but just watching it made me understand that it can handle multiple devices at the same time. Can't really answer for if your devices will work though.
Hmm yes the video does seem to show multiple devices working.
I will keep waiting for specific replies for my devices, if anyone knows.

[Request - Porting LDAC from XPeria Z3+/ Z4 / Z4V to Z3]

Here is LDAC if anyone wondering what it is.
http://www.sony.net/Products/LDAC/
I was understood this software enable bluetooth to transfer audio at higher rate for hi-Res audio receiver but unfortunately it only available for Xperia line up post 2015. Some Walkman series release 2014 receive an update and got this function so I conclude it is possible for Z3 too.
So anyone here can help out or give some tips on this?
Also to z2 please

if you know how to edit a build prop put this in if not don't. Take a backup just in cause I don't want anybody getting pissed at me so.. . P.S. this may or my not work for you I have z5 libs if you use this and it works hit thanks.
# Added system property for LDAC
ro.somc.ldac.audio.supported=true
Which libs are you referring to? Bluetooth ones?

well if you put this in your prop then go to audio settings look at screen shot below. You have to have ldac supported device to connect it to. Which hardly exist at this point so I have not tested it.
Anybody tried this ? ro.somc.ldac.audio.supported=true
so I tried this tonight. I have a pair of MDR-1ABT's that support LDAC and a Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact running stock rooted .264.
First I flashed the Z5 libs from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/soundmod-ported-z5-sound-files-libs-t3240319
Then added the line to build.prop.
My accessory settings page looks the same as post 6 when I have the tablet connected to the MDR-1ABT. Wireless playback quality is grayed out.
Also logcat says its still connected by APTX.
So seems like theres more needed to port LDAC besides the libs and modifying the build.prop?

dam I guess so..hmm I wasn't sure I added a different line from from a z5 build and it gave me a working bravia toggle so I hoped this would work the same...I will look into it more...
Its is also chip related for the LDAC !
Bbut does it work if we add the lines in build.prop ?
i am curious about that, any changes ?
Yeah seems like you need to do more than just add that line to the build.prop to enable LDAC support. Unless theres something that needs to be done on the headphone end?
If you devs need me to test anything just let me know! I have a z3, z3 tablet compact, and a MDR-1ABT headphone that supports LDAC.

messaged a guy on Head-Fi who has an Xperia Z5 and LDAC headphones. Asked about how he knew they were being connected via LDAC and not aptx. Heres his response
From what I recall, I have a status message in the android notification area, that said it was connected by LDAC. Since it didn't really show up in the bluetooth settings, I connected it using NFC smacking together with the Z5 ... which connected instantly.
Ok, here is how this looks here: http://i.imgur.com/nu34yjZ.png .. you can touch it and it leads to a menu of the settings where, you can select between "Prefer Audioquality", "Standard" and "Prefer Connection".

so theres probably more than just the libs and build.prop line that needs to be ported? There must be something in the sound settings app or something else
There is a thread with sound mod (From Z5) http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...deodex-xperia-z5-themes-home-widgets-t3207016
I don't know if that could help us.
I got LDAC partially working on the Z3 by using Bluetooth.defualt.so hw lib from Xperia X as well as the build.prop edit. However the audio is very choppy no matter which level of ldac is selected. Any suggestions?
UPDATE 1:
Using the bluetooth.defualt.so from the z5 lp and the z3 on an lp rom makes LDAC work perfectly. I hypothesize that the bluetooth files which I was using from the z5 6.0 release were causing the shuddering as reported by some users in the z5 fourms. Im gonna try the latest z5 6.0.1 release and see if that works. In short LDAC IS POSSIBLE TO PORT AND HAVE FULLY WORKING ON THE Z3 AND Z2 it just about finding working files for mm.
Great find kansasboy.
Im trying to get a pair of LDAC headphones - Sony MDR-100ABN - to work with a rooted 'Z3 Tablet Compact' running Lollipop 5.11 at the moment - I have edited the build prop and the LDAC settings are greyed out.
Im going to root my Z3 Compact when I see that LDAC works with the tablet.
Could you share the bluetooth.defualt.so from Z5 that you are using ?
How do you replace the default bluetooth.defualt.so ? just using ES file explorer ?
Had any luck getting it to work with 6.01 ?
Ok, got it working
I think you need both:
/system/lib/hw:
audio.a2dp.default.so
bluetooth.default.so
from the Z5 for it to work.
I took the files from a Xperia Z5 5.11 firmware and using ES file explorer I placed them in the /system/lib/hw folder of my rooted Z3 tablet compact running 5.11 (saving the originals as .bak) - restarted the tablet and could connect my Headphones using LDAC
I'm using xperia z3c with android 6.0.1, if I put Bluetooth.default.so, I got Sound stuttering every sec. Connection works LDAC options are available, but it looks different than on my friends z5.
It looks different probably because your friend is using a different version of system/app/soundenhancement. Ldac has been available through that app for at least 9 months. So there is multiple versions available. You guys could maybe try the working 5.1.1 Bluetooth files and 5.1.1 sound enhancement on 6.0.1 it may work probably not. worth a try though...
Have done some more tests and LDAC works on Z3 (stock rooted .264) with the following setup:
1. Edit /system/build.prop and add "ro.somc.ldac.audio.supported=true"
2. In /system/lib - add the file 'libldacBT_enc.so'
3. In /system/lib/hw replace 'bluetooth.default.so' and 'audio.a2dp.default.so' (backup the originals)
The 3 files needed are from a Z5 stock .264 (5.1.1) rom
When you are connected to a pair of LDAC headphones you get a notification and you can press that notification for further options.
I have this working on a Z3 Compact and a Tablet Z3 Compact.
Have tried it on a Z Ultra too - but it does not work.
When I tried it on 6.01 with files from a Z5 6.01 - the sound is stuttering (same as for the others) and the Z5 5.1.1 files did not work.
Currently bt audio on mm is screwed up and barely works for aptx. I get studdering sometimes with my mdr100abn and my fugoo Speaker using aptx. The bt audio on mm can not handle ldac even on connection preferred if you are using a z3 or z5 sound enhancement. Hopefully in the next official mm release Sony fixes these issues with BT playback. If they don't we will be sol. Currently the only way to get decent ldac on mm is forcing the min cpu frequency to anything over 1000mhz and disabling mdception. But even that isn't reliable. We are at sony's mercy to fix bt issues which they may not because it works well enough for what is officially supported. The bt stack has not changed in mm but there is a known bug with BT in the MM kernel. Sony has fixed this for the z5 and X. Even in first mm release z5 had issues with ldac on high quality.

No sound when using LDAC

I have read the the device is support LDAC Bluetooth.
But when I change Bluetooth codec in developer setting to LDAC it got no sound. Testing with my fiio btr3 the indicator light change to white thae mean I using LDAC but got no sound.
The only codec that work is just sbc, aac and aptx.
Anyone know how to enable LDAC or just tell me that it not supported LDAC yet.
PS. When using the other codec it has worst quality than it should tho compare to my Nokia8. Why this happen?

Bluetooth speaker/device should support also LDAC. Not only the Smartphone that have a LDAC capability

i have the same issue. I have Sony wh-1000xm3 headphones. When i switched the LDAC codec. Sound just gone. Is anyone found a solution for this?
I search for it and found the samsung s9 s8 etc. phones have similar kind of problem. They have a solution for this. They just turn off the "dual audio" feature. But i cant find that setting in A3.

Same thing, @kaelthasxx. I'm also trying to setup my wh1000xm3 with the Mi A3 and there's just no way of making ldac work. Not to mention that using aptx gets me an awful quality. If I run a frequency response test I get a lot of crackling at frequencies around 17-20khz with aptx.
The best quality I managed to get out of this setup was using sbc, which is a shame since the headphones support all the way up to ldac.
I think this is some issue with the OS (I'm using the phone's native Android One), since in theory the BT soc of this phone should support these technologies. Hope they fix it for Android 10.
I had install custom rom and it work just fine. Can't wait for official release tho

What ROM are you using? The official one doesn't even support aptx properly (I get a lot of distortion using it with Sony's WH-1000xm3). Not sure if I should flash a custom ROM or pray for a fix in Android 10.
Anyone have a solution for this, just got some Sony Bluetooth cans for xmas and bow have same issue...
Is it confirmed fixed in Android 10 (ie a month or so factory fix all going well) or should I just go custom rom and fix it now (although the whole reason I went a3 was to get a stock Android device)
If I was to go rom route what's the suggested rom? I'm assuming a3 and a3 lite use the same base rom package?
Thanks to all in advance

does anyone know if this problem has been solved with android 10?

I can't confirm for LDAC, but AAC doesn't work, it always revert to sbc. For now is better to try a custom as bluetooth codecs never worked for me.
here you go! was also waiting for long months to access any better then SBC...
A3 with A10 stock, April version + Sony XM3, latest app version
--> AptX is on!
checked developer settings and this confirms. AptX is shown on (its not AptX HD by the way). trying to select any better eg LDAC wont stick when return from setting, also no codec effect.
at least something... good luck guys!
No

Any update on this? How does the phone do with the latest firmwares?
(I plan to get Sony headphones)
Mi A3 with Android 11 here. No LDAC option, best is aptX but the WH-1000-XM4 dont support it so... best codec is AAC.

Question LDAC codec

Hi, I have a Oppo Enco X2 with a S22 plus. I am trying without success to activate the LDAC codec (the buds support it) but it does not work. Is there a way to make it work? One guess is that the S22 plus does not support LDAC. Do you know how/if there is a way to solve this? Thanks a lot.
S22 supports LDAC. I have Sony WH-1000XM3 and I use the LDAC codec. Have you updated your Enco X2?
I have had to enable LDAC in Bluetooth menu. Settings->Bluetooth-> find your bt device -> click on the gear icon and enable LDAC support. You can albo try to force it in Developers Options -> find network group and check the LDAC i available under bluetooth sound coded (not sure, the english name of the option is proper).
