Not true according to the official www.aptx.com website.
Also I own a Mate 20 Pro, and for aptx there are only the basic "aptx" and the "aptx hd" options on Developer Options' bluetooth codec settings menu.
Are you 100% sure the Mate 20 Pro supports the aptx-LL codec specifically? How can you tell?
As for bluetooth audio lag.. lots of streaming apps and media players artificially compensate for that, i.e., they delay the video a split second so that the laggy audio catches up and everything is sync for the user to watch.
But realtime audio does suffer from lag. App sounds, or games, etc. All cases when the app or system cannot predict or tell in advance when and which audio is supposed to be played. I have never tried aptx-LL though and that seems to make the realtime experience almost completely lag-free, and looks like a really nice alternative.
But as I said, I do not believe the Mate 20 Pro supports it. If it does please let me know as I am very interested in this.

I have jabras 65t and jaybird x3. They both connect with aac and sbc. When they connect with the default aac, both have a half sec lag. When I got to developer string I can manually change the setting to sbc. When I do that the lag goes away. The only issue is the phone doesn't keep the setting. It will default back to acc when you use the earphones again. Just to prove I have a cheap pair of insignia hear phones with connect vis sbc and there is no lag.
It seems to me that the Earphones dictate which codec will be used. You can see this in developer settings where it will highlight which of the several available code s to choose from such as aas, and sbc. I would I am actually looking for a wireless headphones that do t use @C And use aptx. It's hard to check the settings on Amazon or any other site.

Well i have purchase from amazon the soundpeats Q12 and those support aptx and aptx-ll
I streaming spotify in very high quality and they sound perfect the mate 20 pro set them in aptx. In youtube and instagram livestrams i dont see any lag. Maybe beacuse aptx has more bandwith than ACC the pair of headphones cost me $30

I m using Funcl AI earbuds and It supports APTX .

Same problem.
I contacted the Huawei Service. No answer were given. They will e-mail me later

Problem with bluetooth settings/ codecs

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.

Poco only streams bluetooth audio using SBC

I've got a Bose Quietcomfort 35 bluetooth headphone. It reportedly supports SBC and AAC codecs.
Pocophone reportedly supports both of those codecs, but it only streams using SBC.
Even if I go to developers options and manually choose AAC, this options doesn't stick. If I go to another app and come back, it's back to SBC.
Can anyone help me solving this? I'd like to stream using AAC.

Yup, same problem here. The only audio codec I can use is SBC. I'm using the Bluedio TM bluetooth 5.0 headphones.
In my case, I think the problem is with the Bose headphones
I can stream audio to my Yamaha home theater and use aptx
I solved the problem by renaming the headphones to have the name "Bose Quietcomfort 35" it it. E.g. : "Bose Quietcomfort 35 AA"

Bluetooth audio codecs

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?

Mate 20 PRO - No APTX for wireless earbuds

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.

Question Terrible sound quality with bluetooth codecs other than SBC or LDAC

has anyone else noticed that bluetooth quality is terrible when the phone uses a bluetooth codec other than SBC or LDAC? I've witnessed it with my Grado headphones as they only have SBC or aptX HD and the phone picks aptX HD as it would be the higher quality codec but sounds bad for moments and then it's like you go from mono to stereo in that sound quality improves for a few seconds and then goes to trash again. This also happens with AAC on a friend's car. Forcing the phone to SBC in developer settings makes it sound good, but it is cumbersome to always have to go to dev settings to change from the codec it picked to SBC, few devices have LDAC, and anyways why ship the other codecs if you'll have them broken
I tried sbc on my wf xm4 and all sound good

The point is that SBC sounds good and so does LDAC but the rest sound like ****.
I tried AAC with my galaxy buds pro and the high frequencies get a little distorted, as if it had a lower volume
AAC on Google Home (to which it defaults as it only supports SBC and AAC) also exhibits this issue.
If you are on android 13 64.1.A.0.891 than flash it back to 64.0.A.11.31. I had the same issues my headsec was popping and crackling my car unit (sony MEX unit ) was losing connection noisy and stattering playback
