After watching a few YouTube videos I now understand that the dual feature of the Note 8 Bluetooth has nothing n to do with Bluetooth 5.
Bluetooth 5 is simply a combination of Classic Bluetooth (2&3) coupled with Extended Bluetooth (high range with lesser throughput).
In other words, for the dual Bluetooth feature on the Note 8, it would appear that there are in fact two separate BT reciever / transmitters.
Can anyone verify this?*
Second question is, if this is true, how likely will it be that either software or an app can take advantage of this, and split stereo channels to two separate Bluetooth speakers, thus giving true stereo sound in the home?

Hi! I have a brand new Jabra 620s bluetooth-headset. When I turn the headset on and search for bluetooth devices on my computer I can see it, but I cant see it when I search for it on my touch pro.
What could be the problem here?
I had a similar problem last night (and have it quite often when i need to pair). It doesn't detect it until the 3rd or 4th time in which last night it didn't even detect it either. I power cycled the headset and my phone found it the first time.
Yeah, I tried rebooting my headset and my phone several times, but I still can't get it to work...
Figured it out... Had to hold in a button on the headsett to make it avaliable for new devices...
But new problem:
I don't get sound in the headsett when I play music. But when I make a call the sound is in the headsett. What could be the problem here?
Maybe its the settings in your a2dp profile?
I read this "Set-up of the 620's was simple enough, the headset unit is paired with the device that is streaming the music and / or a mobile phone. A smart move from Jabra allows the 620s to be connected to both a mobile phone and an audio device simultaneously. However our set-up was rather more straight forward than most as we used Jabra's own Bluetooth dongle that supports the all important A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) profile. Real life for most users is a different kettle of fish with support for A2DP being quite sparse, most music gateways and servers and even music ready mobiles rarely support the required profile." source: http://www.lordpercy.com/jabra_bt620s_review.htm
Maybe some tweaking in hklm\\software\microsoft\bluetooth\a2dp\Settings
I believe this headset also supports AVRCP profile. In any case, make note of your original configuration prior to making any changes.

You can use Advanced Config to enlarge the bluetooth bitpool under the bluetooth tweaks. Set it to "very high" for best sound quality (uses more system resources tough).
HTH
Maximum bit-pool setting is 1561. I dont think it solves the problem, cause the quality is still really bad.
Any other tips? Or do I have to return the headset cause a brand new ~1000$ phone cant play on a wireless bluetooth headset?!
Bump.. Are there really no solutions?
I'm looking for feedback/reviews/opinions on the latest Pioneer Appradio 4 as I'm interested in replacing my current dated GPS system in my car with a "smarter" system that can easily connect to my phone (Note 3) and enable the following 3 main functions:
BT streaming to play music from my phone, receive and make calls
Be able to run Google Maps or Waze from my phone and just use these from the device without having to keep my phones' screen on (so via BT essentially, not necessarily via cable as I hate loose cables in my car)
At least 4V pre amp outs for my upgraded stereo system
Connection for my existing rear view camera
I don't care so much about mirroring my phone to the device.
It appears that the Appradio meets the requirements above, but I'm interested in users opinions as well for its pros and cons.
Thanks in advance!
So I got the honor 8 as my new phone since I wasn't satisfied with my previous LG V10's battery live and didn't wanted to spend 600+ € again.
Two drawbacks I found on my H8 after setting everything up are related to the device's Bluetooth:
1 - although introduced in android 6.0.1 again, the H8 is not able to control Bluetooth volume correctly. I can only control the device's media volume and have to manually set the volume on my Bluetooth device, too. Expected behaviour is to control Bluetooth volume on the phone (this works perfectly on my Xperia Z3 Compact)
2 - you simply can't have to hands free devices connected at the same time over Bluetooth. In my car I have a build in hands free in my car's audio system and I'm using TomTom 620 for navigation and to display incoming calls or initiate calls. This worked perfectly on the LG V10 where all connected devices would ring at the same time and the one I used to answer the call would than do the audio while TomTom would display active call information. Unfortunately LG seams to use a more advance Bluetooth hardware as this also doesn't work on my Xperia Z3 Compact simultaneously, nor on my brand new H8.
What's your experience with that?
For the bluetooth headphone issue, you can head into developer settings and enable "Disable absolute volume" to go back to the old way Bluetooth headphones used to work!
Isn't Bluetooth 5.0 supposed to have dual audio support? Why don't we have the software support for it yet when S8 has had it since a long time?
Is there any mod to activate dual audio?
i was just gonna ask this question. I miss this feature from my Note 8,. my girl likes to listen to the spotify playlist i got going on with me at the gym and we can't with OPO6
Bluetooth 5.0 has nothink to do with dual speaker..., The features of samsung is something else, it s not because of 5.0, the version is only about faster transmission and consuming less energy
Bluetooth 5.0 does support dual audio as well as faster transmission and consuming less energy

Not sure why it's not implemented in OP6

Sorry but you're not getting it right.
Here is a better way to understand it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-CPobBQi6E
there's absolutely nothing in the bluetooth protocol that prevents android's audio driver from routing sound to both speakers, headphones and bluetooth at the same time.
these should be individually toggle-able. any sane engineer would do it this way.
android just cripples our devices for $reasons
Some BT headsets (typically in car built in systems) have 1-2 second delays from when audio is sent from phone to BT receiver to actual playback. This causes Google Assistant to turn on the mic to listen before the speech is completed. In some cases, the app would time out waiting for a response before the speech is done being read out. Typically when you use Google Assistant to dictate a text message to someone.
Anyone have ideas on how we can customize Google Assistant's wait timer to deal with this kind of delay? Preferably on a per BT device level.
Nobody owns a car and uses Google Assistant in it?
I have a Hyundai Ioniq w/ Android Auto and also have similar Bluetooth lag. I think this is an issue with the (most likely) poor quality BT that cars implement. I've always had several seconds of lag when using bluetooth in a car system. It's never been so bad that it will prematurely cancel voice requests, though.
AFAIK, I don't think there's a specific software option (officially) to account for this bluetooth lag. I'd think the only solution would be to get an ApTX Low Latency-certified bluetooth connector for your car? Might be worth a shot. The Pixel 3 supports it.
I found that it affects cars that uses BT implementation from Johnson controls - Hyundai, Mazda, Honda, Toyota, GM are those I know of at this point. Doesn't seem to impact newer iDrive 6 based BMWs since they have a passthrough button that triggers the assistant directly.
https://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-BTC450-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Input/dp/B009NLTW60 Seems to work OK ish if you have an aux-in port. Delay is still there but manageable since it's just a slight delay. If you set the phone to not use BT to record audio, move the phone closer to the center away from speakers (assuming you don't have it on full blast loudness) it won't catch the last half a second of delayed audio.
Still not as good as the built in system like on the BMW or my friend's MB. Audi that comes with Android Auto support works beautifully.
