[Q] Apt-x codec on gnex - Samsung Galaxy Nexus
i looked everywhere but i did not find anything. can gnex stream music to bluetooth devices with apt-x? htc one-x has it according to their website.
so, is it possible to integrate it via kernel or library file or is it a hardware thing?
i really like to listen my flacs loseless with my samsung hs3000 bluetooth headset. appearently with apt-x, music quality is like a wired headset ( according to samsung website)
if anybody wants more information, check this wiki page for apt-x
Anyone? I think this would be a great improvement for our phones. But it seems nobody has an information on this. I will research more and if i find anything, i ll let everybody know here.
Pretty niche question I guess given the lack of replies but one I'd like to know the answer to as I'd like to stream audio out to a QED uPlay using this codec. If you find anything would appreciate if you post back.

This guy seems to be having good luck improving avrcp to the GNex. I doubt many people are aware of the Apt-X codec.
here is an interesting read on future of apt-x
Is HTC's StereoClip The Future of Bluetooth Audio?
I would also love to know whether this is possible or not. Were you able to get any clarification?
Thanks!
Can't find an answer to this question, too.
If the Nexus would provide apt-x, it would be my new phone.
EDIT: It seems, that Bluetooth 3.0 is good enough for apt-x, so I guess there's no hardware limitation for the Nexus.
@ the Coders: Plz implement the apt-x Codec into the Nexus. I wanna stream hq-music to hq-speakers
Doesn't look good

Awesome post. I've got into this Apt-x thing, as I hate bluetooth (for audio). What a totally lame idea it is for any kind of quality. I just refuse to use it. Not only does it sound terrible, but it's a pain to use. Now comes this apt-x thing, which seems like a good step, but limited acceptance.
BTW, the Foxl is awesome, and now with this apt-x it's even better. Unfortunately, it costs a WHOLE lotta cash. But 'maybe' worth it. I have the v2 and really like it. it's unbelievable what this can do. I'm going to be getting the Galaxy note 10.1, so it's good to see that at least has it. I was hoping my Nexus 7 would, but alas it's not so.
Is there a possibility now for Gnex? BT3 is good enough and Samsung has licensed apt-x (works on S3)
BTW, the Foxl is awesome, and now with this apt-x it's even better.

ministry of sound have had a bluetooth headset out for a couple of years now. i dont know its capabilities but i know it does work as hands free with the headunit doing all the muting ect. i'm guessing it could also do audio in theory but i'd be wanting hi quality stereo profile capable. http://shop.ministryofsound.com/Cultures/en-GB/Products/MOSCA061.htm?MSCSProfile=9E133C53BD3D92DF5455B80E50623FCD43EEF3924C278EDA93A038D8962D1C32D0740FDC04496BFF615DA6B238730312F9AD9A4D057F99429C79B45FD6DA1F546EC0679EFDCB4DA8E50E818A682A7B9E59935DDBCA202A8C6895ED6069074AF3F6698A474BBEAE87BE6935CA882C2D2FB9E08DFBAB5A053043364779E571F32B?CatalogNavigationBreadCrumbs=MinistryofSound|Audio|Car_Audio maplins also do similar http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=46068
Nice find, but neither of those units support A2DP or AVRCP, and as you say, what we all really want is the high quality audio with the control functionality.
Mono Bluetooth Headset with APT-X ?
Hi i,m searching a Normal Mono Bluetooth Headset with APT-X support, i cant find any normal ones with APT-X, just little boxes with 3,5 jack for Headphones.. somebody an idea ?
If it's just an earpiece, you probably won't find one, as APT-X only sees benefit in music playback (by itself it doesn't even support phone calls).
Yeah i know i listen to music while in bed, with Plantronics Mono BT Headset but the Quality sucks, there has to be something... i dont want it as headset but as Mono Headphones
I don't think the lack of apt x sort is the issue with you current setup Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
Bluetooth headset with a2dp and no earbud
The Motorola H720 and H730 are bluetooth headsets with no earbuds and the speaker is flat against the side. However, they do not have a2dp for music. Is there anything else similar with a2dp?
Start searching for something with two earphones (stereo). I don't know of any mono headset with A2DP. If you want recommendations, you should give more details about what you want from it and how much you're willing to spend. Cheers!
no do not understand
I haven't seen anything like this either. Those business bluetooth headsets intended for phone conversation rather then multimedia streaming, thus everything I have seen so far in that type of bt headsets doesn't support A2DP. If anybody would have it, it would be Plantronics, but they don't offer it. To have full multimedia support you need stereo bluetooth headsets like LG HBS730 or Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 or BlueJays BlueBuds X. Look into my signature link for reviews of a lot of these headphones.
TaoTronics 2-In-1 Bluetooth 4.1 Transmitter / Receiver
TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1 Transmitter / Receiver, 2-In-1 Wireless 3.5mm Audio Adapter (aptX Low Latency, Pair 2 At Once, For Home / Car Sound System) This is by far the most useful product i have reviewed in a long time, If you’re like me and some older electronics such as a tv or stereo or even a car stereo without bluetooth then this TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1 Transmitter / Receiver is a perfect product for you. If you know how to pair devices to bluetooth then you can add bluetooth capabilities to your electronics that were lacking this feature. Another feature i liked was you can enjoy a latency lower than 95% of other devices with aptX Low Latency technology; end-to-end lag time is now 40 milliseconds so high-definition video is transmitted without problems. I use this device on my older tv and a great feature of this TaoTronics 2-In-1 Bluetooth 4.1 Transmitter / Receiver is your able to pair Two Bluetooth headphones or speakers at once but please be aware aptX Low Latency does NOT support Dual Pair mode. The transmitter comes with a micro USB cable for charging, a 3.5 mm stereo jack for devices without bluetooth, and comes with a AUX stereo jack for older devices and you can use the device while its charging virtually removing any “down time”. You will be as impressed as I was with not only how easy this unit is to set up and use but most impressive is how many uses you get out of this unit, one of my favorite products I have used in a very long time. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IV1H1ME/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0 https://youtu.be/BTFWatl4zis
bluetooth headphone with good sound quality
Just bought a jaybird x3 from Amazon I would say it cannot match the b&o play headphone comes with the phone with quad DAC enabled, anyone has better suggestion is that even Bose sport wireless will be about the same? Welcome any suggestion or I should stick with wired one just Bluetooth is so much more convenient, love to hear anyone with BeatX or similar ones
Replaced the standard ear tip with the foam type comes with jaybird x3 sounds significantly better
You need to use wired headphones to take advantage of the dac
I use the Creative Sound Blaster E3 combined with b&o play headphone that came with the phone and to me it sounds just as good or may be better than the phone with wired headphones. If the sound of the E3 is not up to par you can always substitute any 3.5mm headphone out for the B&O.
The Quad DAC will only activate with an audio cable plugged in. So unfortunately Bluetooth will not be able to take advantage of it. However, the V20 does support AptX, which essentially allows for high quality audio through a BT headset, headphones, speakers, etc. Though I am far from an audiophile, I honestly do hear a definitive difference between an AptX supported headset vs a non AptX set. Amazon has an extremely large selection of BT 4.1 (which features the ability to display the battery % of your headset on your phone), waterproof, AptX supported headphones. You just have to find the ones that fit your needs. Good luck.
I use Samsung Gear IconX (truly wireless ones) with V20, very decent sound not much worse than included B&O H3! There's a bunch of them brand new unpacked on Ebay starting from like 80$ or so! Most folks change eartips on IconXs, the large ones from milliion year old Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic worked for me famously, balanced sound and punchy bass, perfect for workouts. One very neat feature of IconXs that you can store 4gigs of songs and use as a standalone mp3 player and I personally think SQ is even better than paired with V20! Lastly, you can track steps and heart-rate but that's something I don't use...
I use the Apple AirPods when I need the convenience of Bluetooth. For wireless ear buds they sound really good when you pair them with Apple Music. I don't like the sound with Tidal tho. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

Jaybird is at the top when it comes to bluetooth, and you won't find any bluetooth earbuds that sound better than the X3. Sent from my LG-LS997 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I use the Samsung Level U: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YA8L3YA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which show to support aptX: https://www.aptx.com/products/samsung-level-u-wireless-bluetoothr-headset now the LG V20 supports aptX HD: https://www.aptx.com/products/lgv20 but the aptX HD is backward compatible with the aptX. I think the Samsung Level U work great and sound great
Bose QC35 and Bose SoundSport Wireless, Word!
My brother has been through quite a few different ones including the Jaybirds and the best earbud pair imo was Monsters sport ones (ill have to get the model number for ya later as I dont recall). To be honest I thought my $30 Taotronic sport ones I got off Amazon sounded just as good as the Jaybirds did. I've seen Bose has a new wireless in ear buds with active noise cancelling so those might sound pretty good. Haven't read anything about them yet though
I just posted this on another thread, well worth the price. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71356965&postcount=154
In my opinion the absolute best sounding bluetooth headset on the market right now is the Definitive Symphony 1, these things sound awesome for BT, even the bose BT headsets don't compare imo.
Best Bluetooth Earbuds Have you seen the top 5 best sounding bluetooth earbuds you can buy. It might be the best for your need :laugh:
I have the Vmoda Crossfade Wireless 2 and they sound awesome with the phone. My Bludio UFO I just got today I think sound better at a much lower cost. Either way, the Bluetooth sounds great and the option to plug in for even better sound is there.
Don't mean to rain on the earbud parade but to get the best sound you need something with bigger drivers. I recently bought the Sharkk Claro from Amazon for $44.99 and it has ANC and Apt-X and it sounds pretty good.
I've been really happy with Mixcder over the ear headphones. I have a pair of the MS301 and my wife has the HD601. Both use Apt-x low latency, which seems to really help the audio quality.
