I have been trying a few audio latency (ms) apps and i'm getting around 150-200 ms. Which makes Android phones in general unusable when using apps for music creation or timing or rhythm based games.
Is there any way i can root it and fix this using a different codec or driver?
Will this be improved in Android Q?
iPhones for example usually has a latency (ms) of between 8 and 22 ms.
Any news on this or fixes or something i can do myself?
Are you actually using YouTube, Netflix Hulu, or others and see the latency? I see no latency in any videos or the few games I play. I'm also using wireless Bullets.
Where did you get that high numbers?

Bluetooth has notoriously high latency. If it's not using AptX low latency, it's going to be in the 100-200's
Here's a receiver transmitter combo you can put in your car.

While this is typically true, I have had devices when using an iPhone connected via Bluetooth that have seemingly no latency.
For years iOS has always had better latency than Android. It is exactly why Android doesn't have as much music creation apps or rhythm games as iOS.
Even a Google search of "iOS vs Android audio latency" backs this up with tons of articles, tests, and reports about it.
You can improve the latency in developers option as well. Use the codec that matches your headphones or device. It by default uses a generic codec compatible with most devices. Also you could change the sample rate.
Version of bt
I'm really sad about that all you guys forget there is 2 device if you speak about Bluetooth connection. So useless ur OnePlus have bt 5.0 what can have 8 Ms latency if u use an old crappy Chinese headphones with bt 2.0 . For example my headphones have almost zero latency till in my 2012 Peugeot the music is 5 sec late !

I love my XDA II.........it protects me from stealth charges, tells me where to go, gives me email/sms/phone etc, plus it's great for MP3's.
I want to use it as a Hi Fi around the house though as well...... is there any solution such as big powerful Bluetooth speakers that I can drop into the kitchen or any room I think suits?
Just an idea.....
Oh...also the ring tone on the alarm clock isn't good enough to wake me up......so any ideas here are appreciated too....!!
Many thanks
David
i agree with the alarm thingie..
heres what i did.. got an mp3 with really load music ( which i like ) opened a sound edit program like cool edit pro etc then increase the decibels.. it works like a charm

Alarm Clock
Hi guys,
For the alarm clock:
pTravelAlarm is the best I have found (I am not an early bird!)
http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta.html <<< for features
Available from Handango - can't remember where I got mine from though as I didn't pay that much!
You can use your own music files for the alarm sounds (just dump the file in the correct directory)

Hi guys, just something along the lines of what is being discussed in this thread, concerning music around the house - I wanted to stream music off my home network using my XDA2s's WiFi connection....and then wirelessly send it to some bluetooth receiver with a line out socket....connected to an amp + speakers....thus i would be able to CONTROL the sound using the XDA and PLAY it on my existing sound system, instead of getting seperate speakers...
Has anyone had success in implementing something like this? In principle this seems relatively simple, I guess if there is any bluetooth headset on the market with a line out facility it could also be used for this purpose...
What do u folks think?? Has anyone tried this out or know of any such bluetooth music receivers that can synch with the XDA2s??

Remember seeing an application somewhere that allowed you to use your XDA as a remote control for your PC, to control a media player, via wi-fi.... can't remember where it was though........
This is the route I will be going to control my Windows MCE via Wlan.

Cool................
I was after something like this a year ago..!!!! :wink:
I have had my Tilt for about a month now purchased from the AT&T store and recently purchased Motorola's S9 stereo headphones. After about 2-4 hours of listening to music, my Tilt gets really hot. The wierd part is is doesn't get hot otherwise.

Is this unusal or has anybody else heard about this happening?
If it is recommended I return the phone (hopefully not) can someone post the origional Tilt software. I have downloaded alot of plugins I don't know if they will let me return it.
Thanks,... The new guy (Bw)
Which player are you using? All my phones in the last few months have turned hot while listening to music with the S9 including the kaiser, this is because when you listen to music via A2DP the processor works faster. I tested this on my E6, when i listened to music through wired headsets the processor was running at 207Mhz and with the S9 it was running at 312 Mhz. So I guess its the same with the Kaiser

I have been using pocket player and the windows media player that was pre-installed in the tilt, I get the same problem with either player.
Is there a fix for the Mhz issue?,..... besides getting another headset.
I haven't tried regular headphones yet, I have to buy one that has a usb type plugin.
Regards,
Bw
It'll happen with any bluetooth headset. Dont worry its not a problem. Although the wired headset would be a solution. And it will happen with any phone not just the Tilt
Battery drain
That's totally normal. Bluetooth (especially a2dp) uses a lot of battery power. Battery drain = hot battery. Simple as that.
i have an older version of the same headset. 8200 or something is the model number...
mine works fab.. but dont try to multitask with it.. otherwise you have a 2 min battery.
I was just wondering what everyone uses for their bluetooth music needs at the house. I was shopping for some kind of stereo/alarm clock and wanted to find one that supported streaming music via bluetooth.
Feel free to post pictures, reviews, or suggestions. It doesn't have to be an alarm clock, but that would be nice.
Price range is kind of wide, looking for anywhere from $50 - $300 (preferably not too high.
From my limited experience with bluetooth on several devices. It's not predictable & reliable enough for smooth experience. Audio quality is not as good as wired connection, but is acceptable for some.
Latest device that I tried was Belkin Bluetooth Receiver that I got from Apple store. The audio quality was horrible (AM radio quality). So if it's on your list, I'd suggest skipping that.
Check out this iHome unit:
http://bit.ly/adNZdI
Well rated for Bluetooth, but the alarm clock part isn't that good.
Best of all, it only costs $37.
I was actually looking at those iHome units, but they look real cheap, and I am worried about sound quality. I have heard some of their other products and they sound good for what they are, that one looks a lot cheaper made though. Maybe I can go to a store and find one to test.
Any other suggestions?
I use the Motorolla EQ5 Rokr. Cost me around $80-90.
Great sound quality! But it may be too small for your liking. I use it at work...streaming a baseball game right now using the MLB At Bat app.
I love this phone.

I don't know of any other alarm clocks. But I do use Bluetooth speakers at the office (IPevo Tubular) - audio is great, and they connect to the N1 perfectly.
Thanks to every one for your suggestions, They have helped me find a lot more places I haven't found before. Here are some of the Ones I like so far:

Blueant M1 Portable Speakers
I really don't like portable ones that much, but it seems nice. Haven't been impressed with any alarm clocks yet either.
Ok so my title states it pretty well. I have a bunch of bluetooth devices I use, JBL Charge, Car Stereo, JayBird headphones, and every other android device I have had you can control the volume from the device. However with Googles new nexus 5, it seems that feature doesnt work? Now I have to use the bluetooth speaker to change the volume. Any ideas on a fix?
Same here, seems to be a bug. Use an equalizer app to lower the volume

Works fine on my Sony MDR 10 rbt headset.. So it does not seem to be an overall n5 bt problem
Mine and my wife's n5 have this problem. Default bt audio output is too loud and is distorted. Sometimes the volume can be controlled by the volume buttons, most of the time not.
I have the default eq like this

The problem looks to be app compatibility with 4.4. Pandora doesn't allow any bluetooth volume control, but Slacker which was updated Nov 8th works fine.
I used the volume buttons on my Nexus 4 to turn down the BT audio all the time when I listened to Pandora. It's a system ride function so it shouldn't matter what app is playing audio

This is not a Nexus 5 issue. It is Kit Kat issue on all devices that use the default Google Bluedroid Bluetooth stack, meaning Nexus devices and Google Play versions (other devices running a modified stack may not be affected).
Supposedly, it is an extension to Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 that enables Bluetooth audio devices to directly control Android's system volume. It seems some genius thought two independent volume levels (headphone volume and handset bluetooth level) was too confusing for folks. Clearly they did not think about (or test) that some Bluetooth audio devices with their own volume controls might default to a very high or low level, and control of only the handset's bluetooth level would not provide sufficient range of adjustment.
So once again we have Goofle googing up bluetooth in Android. Please share your disappointment in the following threads so that we might see a fix ASAP. Guessing they are facing law suits for hearing damage if it is not addressed quickly.

I'm interested in upgrading but Samsung often lacks on the Bluetooth department.
I had a bad experience with them as they dropped UHQ audio but now the Samsung website listed it again in the specs.
Yet, doesn't say if this UHQ over Bluetooth?
Because UHQ over analog means absolutely NOTHING.
How to check?
Enable Developer settings and in the Bluetooth section it should have 24 bit and 32 bit options as the most common codecs AptXHD, LDAC, Samsung Scalable.
Note, this is not the gimmicky upscaler, but the availability to stream DSD or Flac over Bluetooth in a decent quality.
Sadly since the S8 Plus, I haven't been able to play DSDs over Bluetooth, not the Note9 nor the S20.
Has anyone tested HiRes playback on the Note 20 Ultra?
Thanks .
No such thing. With bt you're sort of boned*
Sorry
The bloody bt chipset doesn't support AptX-HD which is the best "lossless" bt codec.
Sammy boned us again... let them feel your wuv.
Same garbage as on the 10+
*The Samsung Bud+ etc use the proprietary Samsung Scalable codec which is as good as it gets for them.
Better than SBC but nothing near 24 bit.
If you bt device supports the Sony
I recently changed my phone out from a Galaxy S8 to a Samsung S20 FE, and I noticed the "Bluetooth Audio LDAC Codec Playback Quality" is greyed out. I believe this option allows me to change settings to a higher quality, but I can't do it.
Attached is a screen shot of the developers option on my old S9 that shows I can set this option, even without the device attached.
Does the bluMe receiver have limitations with pairing? I played some streaming radio, including 320kbps sites from Europe, and the quality was OK but not supurb.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry for the long delay.
Do you have a LDAC device coupled with it?
