So as far as I know the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is capable of Bluetooth 5.0, on other brands like Samsung with Bluetooth 5.0 you can connect 2 Bluetooth-devices at same time. As example you can listen on 2 bluetoothspeakers simultaneously. Is there any possibility to do that on Sonys Stock Software as well?
Thx in advance
Of I look on my cellphone (XPZ) there is in the Developer Option an option to change the count of BT DEVICES, but I didn't know if it's work or not
Well I tried this once before but now it worked. Now I can connect to both devices and switch audio between them and the device. So thank you:good:
Do you or anyone else know if it is possible to play audio on both aswell. In sound settings I only can switch like stated.

Meshing, connecting to multiple devices, is down to Bluetooth V5. But that doesn’t mean application developers are going to design audio streaming to multiple devices. This is pretty complicated and a bit niche, I mean why would you want to?

Hi all I am just looking for a way to find the solution for this using DSP manager, but it doesn't worked. Asked this question in most threads.
Actually, I listen to music through my Bluetooth Stereo headset Sony Ericsson MW600. But missing the feature of the Dolby and SRS with that. I don't have a wired headset, So can some one please provide me a fix or something like that for my request. I hope some one can make it possible to directly enable Dolby even connected with a Bluetooth device.
Thank you!
Have you tried all the snd -dspmode x commands?

Yes, tried but failed. I didn't find even a small difference in using that. Have you got working?
No, I don't use a BT heasdet. Does your headset support Dolby/SRS?

Ofcourse yes! I can use the same wired head phones HPM88 with my mobile along with Dolby
Sorry, I meant, does the receiver support Dolby/SRS. Looking at it HERE, it makes no mention of Dolby/SRS support.

Ok, you mean that's the problem related to the Bluetooth device and not the mobile. I don't know exactly but I used this headset with a Samsung phone which does have SRS Support and worked with my Bluetooth device.

Shree I have some doubts reg htc dhd usage in india. Can I talk to you pla?
i don't think it can be enable on bluetooth devices yet... from my understanding, the bluetooth device need to have support in order for the dolby to be able to work, even if you have a dolby certified bluetooth device, it will still have to communicate with your phone to let it know that it can support bluetooth. for the time being, i don't think bluetooth have this functionality or standard to communicate and to authenticate dolby support for devices... yet... but that is what i think, i'm not sure of it though...
Hello all, I need to post 10 messages before being able to post one useful reply in the development part.
Having no idea what to write about, I just transform my (unpostable) answer in a useful thread where more people will find it and where i might even get useful reactions so that we all learn some things.
Ok, to the point:
When using most unofficial headphones, the telephone won't recognise the plug layout.
Depending on the rom/firmware it hasn't got the same consequences.
Sometimes there is sound coming out of the headphones and sometimes there isn't.
With the official Sony roms it wasn't a problem before (just a popup message stating the buttons unavailable) but I had the no sound problem on my V after updating to 4.3 too.
I have an xperia v and before that I had an xperia p, an app called SoundAbout has solved problems for both models, with all kinds of headsets and every rom, both on dalvik and art, so it might work for other models too.
I found it here on xda frontpage a few years ago and it never let me down.
I'm not affiliated with the creators by the way.
We got a free licence for the pro version here ont the xda forum at the time but I lost it and the free version does just fine.
It really is very simple, you start the app and redirect media sound to the headphones.
Another thing that I discovered only last Sunday:
The disadvantage of the SoundAbout app is that the phone considers the outgoing sound as going to the phones speaker, and thus a lot of audio enhancements like headphone surround don't work, you only have the options for the speaker that will have effect.
But I'm running a new rom now, 4.4.4 neowave, the fastest and best battery by far of all roms I have tested.
This rom uses viper4android, where i found an option to lock the settings, so that it is possible to use the headphone options on the speaker sound, and thus for the headphones when used with SoundAbout.
I don't care about mic or buttons working so I have no info about that.
But the sound on my v is finally perfect with my highend headphones, after years of searching how to.
I hope this helps someone, and that it makes other people as happy as I am.
Comon peeps, more than a hundred views but not a single reply?
I don't want to make a 10 post monologue to get to the limit of being able to feedback in rom topics....
Doesn't anybody care about sound quality on his phone ?
Are people getting used to choppy badly decoded music that much?
Am I unique in carying and listening my music on my phone?
I just want to drop by and say that this works indeed for all my NeoWave users, Xperia T ones included.
So if you have any earphone issues, try this app! :good:
Thanks for dropping by
I'm glad it works on the T too.
Personally I tried almost all roms for the V that are/were available here on xda, I haven't counted but that must be more than 20 roms, not counting the updates, and SoundAbout always worked.
For my P also I tried a lot of roms and mods, and no problems encountered with SoundAbout (a lot with incompatible headphones on official roms).
It seems that it is not guaranteed that the mic and buttons work, even with the pro version that has more options, at least that is what I found reading around on the Web, but I'm quite curious about the actual pro version.
Is there anyone that has experience with the pro version ?
I have not tried the pro version, but I have another question..
Do you have any experiences concerning the trial version? Is the usage limited to a certain amount of days or does the app provide most of its features for an unlimited amount of time?
Concerning the media sound routing there is no limitation.
The free version has the following options :
Service - on(background), on(foreground) , on(auto restart), off
Media audio - let app decide, speaker, headphones, headphones (with mic)
Notification behaviour - block notification to speaker on/off
Notification behaviour - block ringtones to speaker on/off
Notification behaviour - speak caller name options
Wired headset behaviour - set detection options when plugged in
In the pro version there are
Phone call redirection settings
Extra settings for text to speach
Bluetooth behavior
Dock behaviour
So, with the free version the headphones do not work for phonecalls.
As I already don't use my headphones for calling, it does not bother me.
hat does work is the widget (1 tile) that toggles sound redirection.
That's great. So the functionality we need is not limited. :good:
It's not work on my T

What exactly does not work?
It won't autodetect some headphones but if you set service to "on, foreground" and the media audio setting to "wired headphones" ?
Isn't there any sound coming through ?
Is there maybe an app that will make my Xperia V recognise my Nokia (TV Out) RCA cable?

If the jack has a standard layout, it will work.
Not sure that it will recognise it automatically though.
Hi everyone
Little bit lost on this and not sure if it's just me but hoping someone can help or point me somewhere. I have a s10+ UK edition. And a Samsung galaxy watch.
When I connect the phone to the car the audio is low quality and hisses a lot. When I put the watch into plane mode. Cutting it off from the phone. All is normal.
Have never seen this happen before. Any ideas?
Thanks
So you have bluetooth connected to the watch and car at the same time?
If so, my guess would be a setting in the watch for the volume of music. Or in the phone, go to settings / bluetooth / advanced / dual audio. Select it and play with the settings to setup what to do when two bluetooth audio devices are connected

Had the same problem with my cheap external bluetooth to FM adapter.
Turn on Developer Options and adjust the bluetooth profile while connected to your car audio.
Having Dolby Audio set to auto might also have an impact.
Thanks for the advice but no luck so far.
The settings under developers let me change when nothing is connected but they revert back to sbc soon as I leave the menu. And they are locked out when connected.
Also dual audio does nothing.
It only has the issue when the watch is connected.
As if its taking the bandwidth.
@ninjatiger26
@theanykey asked you to change the AVRCP version.
You can only change the audio codec from the default one (SBC) to something like aptX if your receiver supports it. And yes, you can not change the codec on the fly while playing.

Apologies for the delay, has been a mad few days!
Sadly changing the AVRCP didnt help on all versions.
It seems there maybe a weird one however on the codec. It reverts to SBC which from a bit of muddled googling is all my receiver supports. from non iPhone devices. However, it takes AAC if its a iphone.
Seems odd to me however they would limit it. Like i said this is from googling so maybe incorrect.
the stranger part is however i paired up a Oneplus 6 and the watch all was fine on SBC codec. its just watch and the s10+ it has an issue.
Admit very lost on this one.
I'm having the exact same issue. I've got an S10 Plus and a Galaxy Watch Active (both in the brazilian versions), and there is a noticeable crackling and loss of quality when I play music on my car stereo while the phone is connected both to the car and the watch. If I put the watch in airplane mode, the issue is gone.
Also, it only seems to happen with my car. I've tried to replicate the issue with my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and an Anker bluetooth speaker, but with those devices there is no noticeable loss of audio quality.
I've tried resetting bluetooth setting, messing with the codecs in developer options and pairing both devices again multiple times.
Anyone got any ideas?

See if the problem persists when you only share your Bluetooth audio to your vehicle and not calls, contacts, or messages.

Why not Google it?maybe you will get a solution for this problem.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not beeing fixed on my side.
Does any of you still have the same issue?
I have the same issue with S9(android 10 ui2)
- no dou audio diable option
- bluetooth conected only to my earphones, with no car.
I’ve been a Samsung phone user since the S5 and this issue persists across all their phones since at least that one. The only real solution is to avoid the SBC codec or turn off your watch while listening to music. It will never be patched as it’s been going on for over 6 years. In the early days Galaxy phones only really used SBC so you couldn’t avoid it.
APT-X and AAC are your best options. Good luck finding those on a car system. You can easily find headphones that support them.
Bluetooth is dropping within a few minutes every time with this phone which is running the most up-to-date software. I feel like I have tried everything under the sun to fix this including, but not limited to:
Network Reset
Software Repair
Developer Mode Settings
Has ANYONE experienced or managed to fix this issue for themselves?
When I listen to Spotify via bluettoh headphones, sometimes the sounds starts cracking a lot (due to bluetooth interfierence). This happens when wifi is connected to 2.5ghz router + there is a lot of data being downloaded. Most cases restart helps, as after restart wifi data download decreases a lot. If that does not help (may be just few times restart did not help), than I switch off wifi and use celular data. After that bluetooth headphones work well.
PS I am on latest Oreo. Did not update to Pie as call recording does not work anymore without root.
Thanks for your reply Martynas. I have indeed tried using BT with wifi disabled, but it is the same result.
I would actually really like to try downgrading to Oreo to see if that fixes things, but I am new to Android and so I don't exactly know what I am looking for in my hunt for a US image that will work with T Mobile.
Any advice? Thanks for your time.
One more option would be to try different bluettoth settings under "developer" options. Try using different protocols. Mine all are on auto, but try to use manual settings... lower versions, lower bit rate and hz.
As to downgrade to oreo, there was somebody in the forum who has done it and was thinking to make step by step manual... check with him for help.
PS one more possibility - the headphones are broke or simply not very compatible (if it is just earphones you have problems with)...
Takes 2 devices to make a bluetooth connection. Could be your other device. This phone is running bluetooth 5 which is very good. For HD audio you will need very close or line of sight to get constant audio.

I have tried all of the developer settings to no avail. The headphones are not broken and indeed are compatible. The XZ1C just simply doesn't hold a connection with any BT audio device whatsoever.

Unfortunately it's not the headphones--I have tried with multiple devices.
Hi guys
I want to ask something, if someone knows about this:
How many devices can I connect at the same time? I need mouse, keyboard, printer and other device more. Could that be possible?
Thanks in advance

Don’t know exactly what are the limitations but you can have many of them connected at the same time.
On my phone I have a pair of connected hearing aids, a kind of pass through bluetooth device so the calling sound and media sound pass directly to my ears, a connected scale, a smart swatch and different BT earphones.
They all work when needed but can’t say if it’s real multitasking...
So I don’t think you should encounter troubles with your BT mouse, keyboard or such.
Then I don’t know if it’s a global problem with Samsung devices or only with rooted Samsung devices but you may loose connection after a while, from time to time. I solved the issue with a Magisk module as my Android devices are all rooted.
I haven’t had these problems in the past with older Samsung devices...
Good luck
