Bluetooth Media Browsing - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I got my Redmi Note 5 today and went out for a drive. Unfortunately, I have not been able to use the media browsing feature with my car's entertainment system. I even activated AVRCP 1.6 in the developer options, but to no avail.
Has any of you guys been able to use media browsing via bluetooth? Help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Have the same problem.
You van change in developer options the audio bluetooth codec to SBC.
By me this works. But problem is that it does not Stay on this setting.

Hey,
thanks for replying. So you're saying that changing the audio codec to SBC lets you browse through your music library via bluetooth? Afaik, codes don't affect media handling like that.

No you are right.
With me the problem was that i could not get any sound from my phone to the radio. So it is not the same problem.

Bluetooth settings in Developer Options

Hi, can anyone change the Bluetooth Audio settings and they actually change ?
i.e. if I select aptX as the Audio Codec it still shows as SBC on the Menu. This is the case for all of the Bluetooth Audio selections - Sample Rate/Bits Per Sample etc - nothing actually changes.
What am I doing wrong ? Mate 10 (Not Pro)
Cheers
Would like to know the same. /buyp
Got same issue only SBC in streaming Bluetooth... Please somebody can answer!! It's pretty boring...
It's an automatic process, if you bought audio equipment with the different codecs, it automatically chooses the correct one. Connect a device with the apt X and you will see it automatically change.
EMUI doesn't support AAC, if your headphones doesn't support LDAC or Aptx you are stuck with SBC.
SBC is kind of problematic as of right now.
Maybe someone can help me, i updated last week my phone. to 137. (ota) i reseted my phone to get a fresh rom
about a hour ago i was in my car , and my radio dosnt show titels anymore and i cant forward tracks via radio. only on my phone.
My radio says "BT AUDIO" and its just playing. not more. .... that kinda sucks on the version before it was all okey.
Yes i delted car and phone bluetooth and reconnect. same issue.

[H930] how to force an aptX Bluetooth transmission?

Hi
I have H930 on rooted OREO (H93020d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0326.kdz)
I use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones that support the aptX protocol.
RHA MA750 Wireless and Bluedio Victory.
Unfortunately, after connecting the headphones, the phone does not display in the notification bar in which protocol is connected.
Every time I connect the set to the phone I have to enter the programming options, to the Bluetooth
transmission where AAC is selected by default - and manually switch on aptX.
When I change it, I hear a break in the transmission and then it displays that it works in aptX and I can hear better sound from the headphones.
Is anybody know the possibility to force permanently this protocol?
Has anyone observed such a problem?
Best regards
figer

If the highest quality codec your headphones support is Aptx, then you can go to the bluetooth pairing settings of your headphones and select "Best Sound Quality" underneath "Connection type".
Could you give me the path?
Options / Network / Bluetooth / ???

Seems like your "V" headset doesn't even have that option. Check for the option with your "Bluedio" headphones. You should see "Connection type" above Pair/Unpair

V is my Bluedio Victory. They support aptX.
I switched to RHA MA750 Wireless and changed the language for you in my phone - please look in the attachments
When I change in advanced settings on aptX - it is aptX - until the headphones are disconnected.
On reconnection - AAC is default again

Hi, did you find any solutions for this? Have same problem here on oreo with aptx support headphones. The setting always going back to aac.
I didn't found any tool or resolution
I have very same problem on latest build on my LG G6
Same problem with V30+ and Audioengine B1
same issue on lg g7
Go to the dev settings and codec Bluetooth. Select APTX or APTX HD.
Work?
Regards.
have to do that with every connection.
lg sets aac before apt-x, who knows why

ahh.. you mention Dev Settings so I thought it was some app specific settings
Another option.. Maybe try the Fiio Music app? Read reviews that it gives you the option you guys are looking for. (Please note.. I myself do not use wireless headsets. just trying to help)
The problem is that lg sets aac higher than apt-x on devices that had both.
I have tried to contact them, no luck.
Having to manually select apex each thine of ridiculous

Has there ever been a fix for that? I have to select AptX in the Dev settings every time I connect my Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless to my V30 as they default to AAC every time I connect them again. This is really annoying but so far I wasn't able to change this behaviour - we probably can't, right?

Poor bluetooth audio quality

Hey guys,
I have connected my A3 to a roidmi in my car and i have noticed there's a very poor audio quality over a blurtooth. I have also checked it with a stereo in my living room. Does anyone else got a same problem? How to get over it?

Ya i do have this problem, its a bug that hasn't been fixed yet. Turn volume down by 3 steps and you will be fine.
just enable developer options and set it to the highest quality, by default it is using the lowest bandwidth with the lowest quality
There is an even more serious bug with this phone and Bluetooth : if you get a call while streaming audio to a Bluetooth headset, music stops as expected, but then playback fails after the call has been ended. You need to reboot in most cases in order to get back music playback.
Tested with several Jabra and Plantronics headsets and different music players.

Are you sure it's actually doing this? Because when I switch Bluetooth to using another codec or higher quality, then hit back button, then go back into dev options, all the settings are back to default, so I don't think it actually does anything. I have a Bose qc 35, which is supposed to support aac.

Try this Magisk module and increase the bitrate of SBC codec. You might need to experiment a little to find the best value for your setup. Start at the max (or just use the recommended value) and gradually decrease until it's stable. High bit rate SBC can have higher quality than APT-X (HD) - you will need to disable "HD Audio" in Bluetooth device setting to force usage of SBC.
I was using it with Mi A1, but haven't tried with A3 yet.
https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/gjf_bt
Btw. changing BT codec in developer settings never worked for me, not sure what's the purpose of it
Same problem for me. My bluetooth headset sucks at this device. I hope we can find an easy solution immediately

Its not the bitrate, it happened with me many times before so i can tell, phone boosts the volume past max for some reason which causes distortion, reducing volume fixes the issue

I'm trying this module. I turned on Bluetooth snoop logging to see if I can see what bitrate I'm actually getting connected with. There is text .log file enough which is only few bytes and a larger binary file with
cfa extension. You don't happen to know what format this is, do you?

CFA is a binary btsnoop file containing all the packets related to BT connection. It should be possible to open it on a PC in Wireshark. I couldn't find a way to open it on Android directly.

In my case (JBL Free X), this is not an solution, it's only quite better, when i set bitrate higher than 574
I think I have found solution for this problem. I have installed miui 11 on my mi a3. Then I have installed magisk and gjf_bt module. Noises no more. For some reason this module doesn't works on stock rom

Noise while using bluetooth audio accessories

Hello xda forum,
I have bought bluetooth earbuds few days ago (JBL Free X) and I have tried connect it to my Mi A3. Generally sound weren't that bad, but while listening quiet sounds, I was able to hear noises. To check which device is faulty, I have tried connect them to iPhone 7, my PC (using CSR BT 4.0 dongle) and even to my Gear S2. The first two devices hadn't any problem with giving better audio experience than Mi A3. I was unable to change bt settings in dev settings section.
Any ideas or tips?

There is an option to solve it without magisk? I don't really want to void warranty.
We are on the same boat but no we gotta wait for the fix. Hopefully android 10 update will.
Since Bluetooth degrades WiFi performance, I wonder if the reverse is also happening. Disable WiFi and location service and play audio from storage and see if that improves Bluetooth.

I think it could be an software issue, I have similar problem with pulseaudio service on my x220 with Pop_OS!. There are a lot of things refers to that OS can't (or just don't want to) set higher bitrate in selected codecs.

I found a temporary solution about bluetooth audio devices. With spotify, yt music or another app. Go into any app's equalizer settings and activate it. Than you should select fx booster. It fixed my all problems while listening music.
Any solution if you aren't rooted? All of the 'boost' apps distort the audio quite badly.
Seems a software issue to me since bluetooth max volume depends on the wireless earphones and not the phone I would assume?
Just to inform: I changed the bluetooth codec in developer settings and set all volumes on max volume level and did a restart. Rebooting and 'Forgetting' the wireless ears in the bleutooth menu and reconnecting, fixed the issue!

Question Mini Countryman Bluetooth Spotify music

Hi all. Is anyone using there pixel 6 with a Mini Countryman to play Spotify music via Bluetooth?
My display shows the phone is connected and actually allows me to control what is currently being played via Spotify. Problem is that there is now audio what so ever.
The phone works fine for other Bluetooth activities like calls.

Hi all. I never got this working. I can see the song playing on my car and can change tracks but there is no audio at all.
I have Bluetooth headphones and they work fine.
I've turned off Bluetooth audio and turn it's back on but no change.
I have iPhones that work fine so I don't think it's the car.
Any more pointers?
Fixed it. It was the do not disturb feature stopping music.
