Does this phone has aptX Codecs? What's the quality of sound with a Bluetooth Earphones?
Yes. Have not checked quality. Unlock developer version to use it.

Is there any way to use LDAC before Oreo update?!
LDAC comes within the firmware, unless you get a rom that incorporates it, I dont see how anybody could use it, sony's xperias are the ones that have it natively, as ldac is a bt sony implementation
Sony helped Google to include LDAC in Oreo update

Well, it is good that oreo will/may include LDAC, as it is an improvement, however, LDAC compliant speakers, earphones etc, are another matter

There are a bunch of headphones and some speakers on Sony's site that support LDAC. I have some MDR-1ABT headphones, which are excellent and support LDAC. I also have ATH-DSR9BT headphones for APTX HD.
Also, Oreo does give you Hifi BT codecs for sure. I'm using a Mi Mix with Android 8 on it which has LDAC and APTX HD. The sound quality really is head and shoulders above SBC (default BT codec).
I have seen ROMs on devices that ported APTX HD, but I didn't see working LDAC ports.
Hello All,
Just got this phone to replace my pixel 2 and the bluetooth connection to my wf-1000x is horrible.
when i connect to the P20 it stutters, skips and sometimes just disconnects on my few minutes walk to work.
Went back to the pixel and not such issue, completely rock solid connection.
Not only that, the headset connects to the pixel using AAC but won't go higher than SBC on the P20.
Is anyone else experiencing poor bluetooth performance and has anyone managed to get AAC working?
You sure you have them on "priority on sound quality" mode? That's what I needed on my Sony MDR-1000X to get anything other than SBC, which is pretty nasty I agree. I'm happily using LDAC and it's a completely different league in terms of sound quality.
Once I made the change it was showing LDAC in developers settings menu.

These are the truly wireless buds, there is no LDAC support but AAC should still be much better which is what works on the pixel 2.
Refuses to go on the p20 even if choosing it manually and yes it's set to sound quality
Have the same issue with the bose qc 35ii that came with the phone, emailed support and awaiting a reply. Seems stupid to have the option and not be able to use it.
Beoplay E8
I have the same problem with beoplay E8. Will also mail the support.
Got the same issue with the Bose headphones only using SBC, does not switch to AAC. Have the latest firmware on the headphones & firmware 120 on the P20 Pro. Bit annoying considering one was a pre-order for the other. My budget £40 set can switch between SBC & AptX!

I actually emailed Huawei regarding the AAC codec being broken. Apparently, the P20 Pro does not support AAC for Bluetooth. The technical specs on Huawei UK says "Bluetooth®: BT 4.2, aptX™, aptX™ HD, LDAC and HWA are supported"
But in developer mode, the AAC codec is there, but the setting wouldn't stay. I wonder whether there are any hacks that we can perform to install the codec.
LDAC . APTX , APTXHD ,... which is the best ???

In order of quality (low to high) - SBC, APTX, APTXHD, LDAC.

Oh that's annoying, better sound is always welcome.
How do you enable bluetooth audio codec "aac" on note 5 without a custom rom?
Hello guys,
I have a Note 5 and want to listen to music via my Bose QC 35 II. As these headphones only support SBC, which is quite basic and the slightly better AAC codec, no Aptx streaming is possible. It is sad that the good sounding aptx is not available, so i wanted to get the best out of it and try to listen with the aac codec. Unfortunately, it is only possible to manually change the bluetooth codec in Android Oreo. Is there a way be it an additional app or similar actions to manipulate the bluetooth audio codec even in Android Nougat?
Thanks in advance*
Which bluetooth audio codecs does this phone support? Does it have LDAC or APTX-HD (or any of the other APTX variants)? Thanks.

It supports AAC, SBC, aptX, LDAC and Scalable Codec.
Hi!
I bought the Sennheiser CX 400BT TW, which on the store page support the aptx codec.
I've connected them to my Redmi Note 9, and although I select the aptx codec in the developer options, it defaults back to AAC. Not sure what's happening as I'm able to switch between AAC and SBC just fine. I'm sure the earbuds support aptx, what do I do?
The audio quality is kinda not what I expected, I think what I'm hearing is the effect of compression, as I've heard AAC is very hit and miss on Android.
