I have noticed this is a widespread issue and I've decided to raise it. This needs to be fixed and Huawei should stop ignoring this problem. The Bluetooth is basically crippled and locked to SBC. I've tested multiple devices and all exhibited this behaviour. Why is it ignored? Are all the reviews fake?

i read that Bluetooth options in pixel dont stick too. so it must be some wierd oreo crap. you cant even change gpu renderer. it always defaults back. best way to handle that is to chat with huawei support and check it out.
I don't use Bluetooth very much but it appears to be the same for the regular Mate 10 as well. I'm currently using my virtual desktop so I could not test if after changing the setting in developer mode does it stick after a reboot?
this confusion is due to a lack of follow-through. all oreo devices have this "issue". it's not an issue at all. if a connected bluetooth device supports these codecs, the best one will automatically be selected. it is not limited to huawei devices. this is normal and does not affect functionality. you should take down this thread so no one throws any fits for no reason.
Well mine switches to aptX automatically when I connect to aptX-compatible devices. However you are correct that I cannot manually change it in developer settings.
Further testing has shown this issue not to be an issue, I've managed to successfully connect to an APTX device and the codec was selected. Video removed. Apologies for this confusion.

Doesn't matter, it will still randomly switch to loudspeaker and the quality will still be terrible.

I don't have any issues regarding Bluetooth for now, haven't really tested aptx I think, but it worked fine otherwise. And never switched to loudspeaker or so

It's not crippled, it's buggy.
SBC and aptX have high noise floor and specially on SBC, it causes some deformations to the Audio.
AAC is totally broken.

Good for you, people here all have Bluetooth problems:
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...oth-problem.853624-page-19.html#post-10970173
I have no issues with my Bluetooth headphones, the Sony WH-1000NX2
The highest quality of transmission is selected automatically, LDAC, that's 990 kbit/s
It's the best Bluetooth can do in the Audio section.
The Sony headphone App confirms the LDAC connection
i am trying my friend's MDR 1000x. i tried both SBC and LDAC. Now I can't go back to LDAC. Help please
Aac not working on p20 pro, works fine on the pixel 2
Bull****.
AAC No longer works on my head unit and my Bose QC35 Headphones.
It worked perfectly before 8.0.0.128 update.
Factory Reset does not work, nothing works. It refuses to use anything else than ****ty SBC.

they are reporting issues with many devices on that forum. android has always had some issues with bluetooth. huawei is no exception. my samsung and sony devices were the best by far. i think it's because of improvements that they make to the android system.
Anyone on b142? Can you comment on if the Bluetooth audio quality is better?
Can anyone confirm if b142 solved sbc problem? I think aac is stilo broken, but sbc quality?

Solved.
I don't have a clue what you guys talking about with all those 3 and 4 letter/digit combinations of names but i feel I've gotta share i use Bluetooth all day long for different kinds of profiles and i mean all day long, and to say this doesn't fail nearly as much as nougat did would mean i imply it does fail to a certain, however small, degree, which isn't even close to being the case, so... But i do notice the in band ringing settings don't stick just like they don't stick in my Oreo S5...
I've had Android phones since 2012 and the Huawei mate 10 pro is the only one with Bluetooth issues. Constantly dropping parts of songs when connected to my mazda 6. Infuriating to say the least. The most expensive phone I've ever had....
Hi All,
I have had my P20 pro for about 18 months or so, and calling using the handsfree in the car (Audi A5) has been excellent, however about 2 months ago i got the Android 9 upgrade and since then all calls made using bluetooth sound distorted, like a robot/Dalek. I am guessing that something in the Android 9 update doesnt agree with the bluetooth on the P20 pro, but has anyone else had this issue? If so, is there any way to solve it or am I stuck to speaking to Davros for ever?
Cheers
Gentlemen, and ladies.
I have a Huawei P30 Pro VOG-L29 (Build 10.0.0.173(C431E19R2P5)).
I got a new bluetooth headset for Christmas. I have previously used both solid JBL bluetooths, played in cars, and had ****ty china BT headsets. They have all worked fine.
This new BT headset can't play a song even, without major stuttering and what really sounds like reception issues, like when you exit your car and walk too far away, or just audiodistorted skipping.
The reason I mention it has worked before, and today worked in the car, is so you know most things do work.
However I can't for the life of me fix this new one. I've tried going into Developer settings and changing frequencies, codecs, you name it. However ALL other options than the ones currently in use (SBC, 44.1 kHz, 16bit/sample, stereo) are currently greyed out.
I am at a loss, I really don't want to return this headset to the shop, because ergonomically, it's the boss.
I have tried the headset with my SurfacePro 4, and a backup iPhone and it worked fine.
Please advise, gent's. I've never enountered an Android problem XDA can't fix.
Do you have a Smartwatch or another BT device attached to the phone at the same time?
Yes and no. Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Sapphire.
BUT I did try it with the Garmin unpaired and all software uninstalled as well. So it's not the watch.
I just gave up and exchanged them for a pair of JBL after trying LITERALLY everything. Tried an old backup iPhone and they were fine. Tested them on my wife's Huawei Y9 2019, same problem. A company Y6, same problem. With my SurfacePro 4 they worked fine. Then the same problem with a Samsung tablet.
I googled, searched and tested around for 4 days.
But in the end it was not worth the hassle, so I threw in the towel and changed it at the shop. A real shame, because they sat like glued in my ears, which is rare, huge ears and oily skin, and just felt fantastic.
But now I got a pair of JBL T110BT. They have some audio artifacts, and sometimes when a call is recieved the sound can be distorted and they have to be reconnected(Common problem according to google), but end of the day they are great for what I mainly do, which is listen to Spotify, and use them when I am the caller.
Hi,
Since a few weeks I have a very annoying issue with my Note 9. The phone stopped using the microphone of a bluetooth device for all apps. It still uses the mic of BT for phone calls...
I have tested it with the following apps: Zoom , Teams, Skype and Whatsapp (voice). And also for recording video and the Samsung voicerecorder.
All of these apps worked perfect until a few weeks ago.
I have tested to following devices: my Sony MX1000 headphone, an old Jabra earset, a new JBL in-ear set and also my bluetooth carkit in the car.
All of these devices still work perfect with the phone of my wife.
And all of these devices use their microphones making phone calls.
Around the time it stopped working I started to use a Huawei GT2. So I installed their Health app. On the same day I recieved my JBL earphones. Not sure if that has anything to do with this issue.
I have done a factory reset twice. No luck...
The helpdesk of Samsung can't help. They advise to do a reset... Again...
It drives me totally crazy!
Is their anyone that can provide me some help?
Kind regards,
Peter
PS. I heard that Android 11 has a microphone switcher... Unfortunately the Note9 will never receive this version of Android.
same issue with my mi 10t pro,i think there is also some issue with your phone's mic
Currently on the latest version of MIUI.EU and I remember using my airpods pro to answer calls but now nobody can hear me with the airpods connected via Bluetooth anymore, and I can't figure out why. Has this happened to anyone ?
Try a network reset.
