Does the P990 support MP3 streaming via Bluetooth A2DP oder does it only stream with SBC-Codec?

It's supporting A2DP. The manual has been posted somewhere. If I remember well, it was one of the german forums but I'm not sure. There it's written in it... I'll have a lock if I find it.
here we are ;-)

I know that it can do A2DP. That was not the question.
Most Phones that support A2DP do the streaming via the open license codec SBC.
So when I want to listen to a let's say 192kbit MP3, this MP3 gets decoded to uncompressed format and recompressed to SBC. This can lead to a huge quality loss.
Some devices have support for _direct_ MP3 streaming so that there is no reencoding needed. But that costs extra licensing-fees
So does anybody know if the Optimus 2x is capable of doing direct MP3 streaming via A2DP?
[EDIT] Tested playing over Bluetooth to my laptop. Sounds good. Couldn't make out differences to playing directly from my laptop.
But a clear answer would be good, because I am interested in it...

Is it possible to stream music from the Kaiser to a hifi setup by wifi and if so what equipment and software for the phone would I need.
I have done this by bluetooth over the a2dp protocol but quite honestly there is a marked deterioration in quality, so looking for a better solution.
Hmm I have an Airport Express but that uses iTunes to stream the music over Wifi. So that is not gonna work.. unless Apple will make a version of iTunes for Windows Mobile. (in short: never)
Would be quitte nice if it should work though

Follow my articles; I've presented a fully working solution to this a month ago - if your Hi-Fi is UPnP-capable. See my UPnP Bible in the Wiki.
I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you want to do or what capabilities your Hifi has. Is it connected to a network?
All you need is a ExtUSB-headphone adaptor and a patch lead to the Aux input on your hifi.
This will allow you to play content stored on the Kaiser via the Hifi. If your Hifi has a USB port, you could try WM5torage and/or Card Export and use the Kaiser as a Memory stick.
If you want the Kaiser to play media stored on a PC via the Hifi speakers, then I recomend Orb. If your Hifi is UPnP enabled, checkout the posts by Menneisyys and the links to Pocket Player.
Thanks for the replies, I have already used the Kaiser connected via the headphone out to my HiFi and it works great, just thought it would be even better if I could do this wirelessly but seems a bit of a faf, so proabably I'll just stick with the wired connection.
Hello everyone!
I suppose that doesn't work Apt-X codec when I heared music thru Bluetooth Samsung HS3000 (apt-X codec supported) and Motorola Razr I which support apt-x too. I rely on my ears and data from Catlog app (no data about aptx codec at all) now. I know that two divices (Razr I and HS3000) support apt-x and I suppose that apt-x is bloked on a software level in the phone.
Could you pls anyone share your experience on this direction? And if it is possible pls share your log file from Catlog app (like this) if you happen to find in it the "aptx"...
Also could you please share your /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

Hi Alexae!
I have just tried Sennheiser PX 210 BT, with which I have the option to try with wire as well. So I did listening to some flac and mp3 music on my laptop and on my Razr I. My laptop is a Fujitsu A530 not known to support aptx and there was an easily hearable difference between the wired and A2DP listening. With my Razr I I could not distinguish between wired or wireless. Although running the Catlog app I could not find any entry about aptx (as there is on the page you have linked). Only the A2DP protocol enabling is mentioned. I prefer not to share my log file for privacy reasons as I not aware of the information it can contain.
Hope it helps. I think we are lucky with this phone.
[UPDATE] Looking into Aptx further it seem it only comes with the Bluetooth 4.0 and the Razr I only supports 2.1. So from that the answer is there is NO Aptx support in the phone.
Hi.
I have a very strange setup in head and I need confirmation before doing anything.
First of all, I wanted to know if I can cast videos using VLC or MXplayer (Or other ?) ? But not local videos, streaming videos (Using wifi).
After that, Can I use a Bluetooth Headset connected to my device without having trouble with audio coming from the cast ?
And finally, Is there better alternative to G Chromecast for what I want to do ?
Thanks for reading.
You want to stream from a local drive on your wifi system and cast to your pre-wifi/ethernet tv via Chromecast? Since I have my tv connected to my router, I don't normally cast local. However, Plex will allow you to create a library of your videos and the app allows casting. Fire stick also uses Plex. I'm sure there are other set-ups, but my local streaming is direct. In fact, I usually use Playstation media server (without the Playstation) via DLNA TV input. As for bluetooth, once you cast, audio is transferred to the viewing device. I have my audio running through an ancient 2-channel Onkyo receiver. I have a bluetooth transmitter in the headphone jack. I use Sony bt phones quite successfully.

Thanks for the audio on bluetooth help.
My files aren't on a local drive. Actually I'm playing streaming video from Video hosting service (Like Youtube, VideoMega, etc...) using HTML link in VLC or MXplayer.
Hi,
Is there a list of BT protocols and codecs somewhere that the P9 supports?
thanks
I don't know, but there are zero problems with listening flac files with stock player over BT to my Pioneer multimedia in my car.
ps - calls are perfect, contacts are sync too
Mine works perfect with my iTrip Aux Bluetooth, it's gadget that allows you to connect your phone via bluetooth to the aux in your radio.

My P9 works OK with my BT headphones streaming music.
Its just that my headphones are aptX enabled, so I wanted to know if P9 can stream aptX. But I have since found out that aptX is a proprietary codec and Huawei does not have the licence to use it.
So I suppose the music I hear must be the BT standard A2DP protocol with SBC codec.
Try playing a movie or show with ac3 audio. I can only hear one of the audio streams and usually not the voice stream. My other mono speaker phones just pushes all the audio streams into the one output but for some reason on the Nubia z20, it doesnt do this. Can others confirm?

I am not experiencing an issue with Plex playback of AC3 audio. I have a global Z20 with global ROM.
Very odd. I have no problem with the audio if I tell Plex to use an external player like VLC but when using the internal Plex player it doesnt play all the tracks.
