BT LDAC Exynos issues - Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers

I have the Exynos 10+ 5G and the Snapdragon Tab 6S. LDAC at 990 kbps only works properly with the Snapdragon device; too much distortion with Exynos. What is your experience?

Solved. Distortion only happens when the screen is on. That means BT is affected by the Note's special screen!

Incrredible
I had the same probleme with my Galaxy note 10 plus.
LDAC 990 b/s only works when the screen is off.
Who would have thought of that ?
Thanks a lot.

same problem here, SM-N975F. Exynos.
Fiio BTR3 receiver.
Turning the screen off allow 990 sound but as soon i turn the screen on, the sound start to stutter,then if i turn it off, the sound is clear.
Samsung support tell me to let the bluetooth setting to ''best effort''... classic level 1 support answer.
I'm not sure that best effort use 990 bandwith when the screen is off but since i don't manage to find out any sound improvement between 660 and 990 (I listen my music on spotify), i gave up.

Same problem here but it happens even with screen of with Sony WH-1000XM3 / best quality LDAC, april 2020 update. For anyone that cares about BT/LDAC or music in general (considering there's no 3.5 jack), just avoid this phone!

Funny enough S8 Exynos was and is perfectly fine with 990kbps!
Only drawback - sound issues started to appear on 75% of max distance (of 330kbps).
Difference 660<>990 is definitely there! But sadly S10E Exynos can't handle it.

Note 20 ultra Exynos, same problem here.
Work around:
1. Install Sony music center. In bluetooth output setting, sellect Prioritize LDAC.
2. TURN OFF LOCATION in Android settings
3. Enjoy LDAC 990 )

One more thing: don't use 2.4Ghz wifi (use 5Ghz only or turn off wifi and use Mobile data while listening using LDAC 990kbps). This is so because Bluetooth devices (including Bluetooth headphones) operate on the same frequency range with wifi 2.4Ghz and may interfere with each other.

Dual BT question...

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?

No support for higher bitrate on LDAC?

Been using the Pixel 3 as my daily driver for a while now, but just recently came an interesting piece. Apparently, the Pixel 3 doesn't support LDAC at Optimum Audio Quality (more details here - https://themrphone.com/article/google-pixel-3-xl-doesnt-support-ldac-at-optimum-audio-quality/)
I was planning on buying a high-end set of Bluetooth headphones, in fact, was considering the same ones used in the link above. Can anyone else confirm this?

Working fine for me with both LDAC (detected and used automatically) and "Optimised For Audio Quality" (switched from default "Best Effort" in Developer Settings)
Pixel 3 (non XL) with Sony MDR-1000X (gen 1 of the headphones in your linked article) and Google Play Music.
Granted GPM isn't a Hi-Res source, but it's playing fine! There was a momentary drop in audio for a split second on changing bit rate but it resumes with no issue!
I had this same issue with my Audeze Mobius--the Pixel 2 allowed me to set the rate to 990, but the Pixel 3 would do as described in the link. Seems like a software bug, I doubt it actually isn't capable of using the full rate
I can't say, I'm much of an audiophile or anything but I do like to play with settings for what sounds best with what I have. On my Galaxy s8 running oreo and my previous s5 running aospx/oreo I could change the developer Bluetooth settings on the fly and notice the difference instantly (avrcp/bt_codec/sample_rate/bit_rate/ldac_codec).
If I do it on the pixel 3, the Bluetooth just falls out, connection wise it stops but still shows it's connected, app wise I can't close and reload the app. I have to turn the Bluetooth off or reset it completely sometimes.
It's kind of a bummer, being a brand new phone and all, I noticed the absolute volume disable didn't seem like a difference either.
I hope they resolve it.
Update: disabling bluetooth a2dp hardware offload let me freely change all those settings while in use with out locking anything up. What that necessarily does or the effect of changing the settings and how well they actually change??? I can't answer with any rational or testworthy explanation as my audio products are oem Bluetooth radios in vehicles.

Lagging when connected to bluetooth speaker

MIUI Global 17.0.7 Stable (official)
I'm using JBL Charge 4 speaker (it's not JBL's problem). I don't have this problem when I connect Samsung J7 Pro (which is older, model from 2017) and other Samsung, Huawei, Apple devices... I had this problem on my older Poco F1 too.
When I play music on it, it's lagging. Every 20-30s there are lags, like "cut" for ~1 second and it's so annoying. I watched some videos about it, I saw that a lot people have same problem with different Xiaomi devices. In Developer options -> Bluetooth audio codec...whatever I pick, when I close settings, it's back to "Use system preference (Default)" even if there is a lot of other options, for example: SBC, AAC, Qualcomm® aptX™ audio, Qualcomm® aptX™ audio HD, LDAC...
Only option that I can change about Bluetooth there is Bluetooth AVRCP Version.
If someone has solution, I would be very grateful. If it's not possible to fix this on offical software, is there any Custom ROM with tested options about this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Question MatePad Pro 11 (2022): is LDAC with forced 990 Kbps Ok for you?

At my case it stutters all the way, and the problem doesn't depend on BT receiver and radio interference.
Switching to adaptive mode almost eliminate the problem, but almost only (and how does want LDAC 330 Kbps?).
I have a completely similar situation on this tablet.
And also the problem is solved only by switching to the mode: "balanced audio and communication quality"

Question Bluetooth interference in public places when other BT devices are around

Hi everyone,
I have paired my OP 9 with my Cambridge Audio Melomania Touch Bluetooth earphones as soon as I got the phone, about eight months ago.
The phone has received several updates and upgrades in the meantime, but an issue has surfaced recently, as the title indicates: when I'm in a public place and there are other BT devices around, the music playing from the phone into my earphones suffers interruptions and distorsions, as if the phone was trying to pair with those devices, or maybe the Melomania Touch, I don't know.
I'd tend to think it's the phone, because I've had those earphones for about two years now, and with my previous phones (Xiaomi/Poco, Samsung), I never had such an issue. Once paired, the devices would deliver a solid, steady sound, with the occasional hiccup if the phone was in my pant pocket and I turned my head in the opposite direction, but that was it.
With the OP 9, however, every time I'm on the bus or the tram, or even waiting at the bus stop and a car passes by, I hear an interruption in sound delivery and I know the car in question had BT enabled.
In the Bluetooth settings, I've unchecked the option to make my phone visible by other devices, and in the Developer options, I've limited the number of devices the phone should try to connect to to 2, the Melomania Touch (it used to be 3, the third device being a Sony WH-700 BT headset I have at home, but I cleared it from the list).
I don't see any other settings to play with to make this inconvenience go away, and the Melomania Touch app doesn't offer any option either. The earphones are set to deliver max performance (not Low Energy BT).
I'm counting on you guys on this one!
Have to tried to enable HD audio (AAC) from that device's Bluetooth settings?

Hi and thanks for taking the time!
Yes, HD Audio is enabled, though I found it in the Developer options. BT options are pretty basic on this phone, if you ask me, but sound quality is really good, especially with those earphones.

Hmm... I don't know what could be the issue then. Maybe someone else with more knowlege can give more suggestions...
