Anyone tried the S2 with this bluetooth device?
Satisfied?
Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance /Voz
I have and its an absolutely brilliant headset well worth the money plus its got multi-point so you can connect 2 phones to it
Dave
Sounds, good, prob means I can have it connected to PC as well then, will order one tonight.
Very strange I have much worse sound quality in d975 than directly through the phone. However this might be a general bluetooth issue rather than specific d975. Eg with my 3gs it was impossible to use a bt headset.

Edit: A bug in S2 - turn of WiFi and it works much better. However, not very satisfied with soundl quality but probably more a problem with S2 bluetooth. Se further thread "crappy bluetooth..."
Coming from a Fascinate and Charge, I loved having Voodoo Sound to enhance my headphone experience. I was wondering what kind of audio chip does the Nexus have? Is it like the Wolfson? Or better/inferior?

Read this. In short, it uses TI DAC. Reported to have good quality.

Question: If I use a bluetooth stereo headset, will the audio chip of the phone or music devices in general matter anymore?

No it won't matter anymore. All DAC dutes will be handled by the bluetooth headset.
Where did you learn to root your Fascinate? Ive been trying for the past 4 months and its impossible. I really want voodoo sound
I've been hearing great stuff about Bluetooth 4.0 LE ((B)LE), like paring heart-rate sports gear almost without battery draining.
Afaik Bluetooth 4.0 doesn't necessarily mean LE functionality, and the only mention thus far I could find was APT-X is included.
Right now I'm confused on whether or not this is supported on the One X. Does anyone know?
Here's a link with a chart that should explain compatibility between new Bluetooth devices, but I really don't get it
And what about NFC implementation? I haven't seen any mention of Sense 4 using it, while Sony's Experia S has those coins with nice software implementation to let the phone know it's next to your bed and needs to be quiet, is in your car and needs navigation etc.

According to this site it is Smart Ready. As I understand it: It should be ready for the LE-devices.
NFC ist atleast in the Settings:
Look at 2:40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-478p9v7T8
Thanks for those links Noneus! Seems like the device is BLE ready while Android 4.0.3 isn't. I really hope xda devs can help with this into the One X roms, however, I guess the wait is for nvidia to update their drivers mostly right?

Not necessarily. Most of the time the OS is lacking the Bluetooth features. Not the driver.
Here is a good diagram: https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-faq
From http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html :
Android 4.0 also introduces built-in support for connecting to Bluetooth Health Device Profile (HDP) devices. With support from third-party apps, users can connect to wireless medical devices and sensors in hospitals, fitness centers, homes, and elsewhere.

When the T989 ICS code is finally released and some of you talented kernel developers are working with it, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add usbaudio.o so we can use USB DACs bypassing the crappy internal audio components. A lot of people want this desperately!

is this what you are looking for? I can make that happen...
Audio Gadget (EXPERIMENTAL) (USB_AUDIO)
CONFIG_USB_AUDIO:
Gadget Audio is compatible with USB Audio Class specification 1.0.
It will include at least one AudioControl interface, zero or more
AudioStream interface and zero or more MIDIStream interface.
Gadget Audio will use on-board ALSA (CONFIG_SND) audio card to
playback or capture audio stream.
Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
dynamically linked module called "g_audio".

Hmm, that might work? I'm not a developer so I dunno...?
Here, you can get this USB sound card for $1.73 free shipping (ships from Iowa) and then you can easily test it with an OTG cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sound-Card-5-1-USB-Audio-Microphone-Adapter-For-Laptop-/370594371214?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564925568e
That's basically all we want, "driverless" USB audio support.

This migth be a noob question but what exactly dose this do?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA
To put it simply, a usbaudio.o addition would allow USB host to recognize a generic USB audio device, be it a set of USB speakers, USB car audio, USB sound card or USB headsets.
A few reasons for wanting such a thing would be that you would:
1. Bypass internal sound amplification and digital-analog conversion, so you get cleaner sound if you have the gears to support it,
2. Use USB headsets, speakers, car audio and whatnot, the same way that you would've used them for Win/Mac PCs, now on your phone,
3. Not having to be tied down to the single 3.5mm output as you can now hook your phone to a USB sound card that can get optical out even, and this is more portable than doing so with a laptop or having to resort to a dedicated music player.
@thederekjay: I'd be really grateful if you can implement this in your kernel man. Cyanogenmod 7/9 seem to have this prepackaged, but you can't exactly take Cyanogenmod kernel and slap any random rom on it.
Yep, the big thing that makes me want it is greatly improved sound quality. The Yamaha chip in the T989/Skyrocket is pretty bad, even supercurio (Voodoo Sound) won't touch it. Turning my phone into an über music player will allow me to easily use things like Pandora and the upcoming official BBE player (currently only available on iOS, but I talked to a developer and he said it'll be coming in late spring/early summer for Android devices) while maintaining audiophile-grade sound quality. For a completely portable solution I have the Fiio E7 amp which has built-in USB audio and doesn't drain power from the connection (a workaround for devices that do require power from the USB connection is to use a powered USB hub in-between). However, with this feature you could just as well hook it up to a $10,000 sound system that has driverless USB audio and *still* have audiophile-grade sound quality because it's a purely digital signal.
Now that the T989 ICS source has been leaked I just wanted to remind developers to please consider adding this in. Thanks!

Right, but it can become one with someone who knows how to compile it correctly. I'm asking that person to include a little bit more code to help with supporting USB audio.

Good to know, I'm not the only one who feels audio is horribly crappy on this phone. I'm not an audiophile but I can feel so much difference comparing mp3 player with it. This was never the case with my older phones like HTC HD2 or Amaze...Boo Samsung
ICS kernel source is finally here!
Okay, so now that the ICS kernel source is finally released (see here) I thought I'd bump this again so it gets the attention it deserves. Please developers, include this much needed feature! Thanks!
Does the note 8 support bluetooth apt-x?
Has anybody succefully connected with an apt-x enabled headphone?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'd like to get confirmation of this as well. My guess is that it most likely will have APT-X since the hardware and software is nearly identical to the Note II.
The Note II sounds phenomenal connected to the Samsung HS3000 BT adapter, even driving my Grado PS500 headphones directly w/o a separate amp! I honestly can't tell the difference between the APT-X BT connection and a direct hardwired connection, even on FLAC files from audiophile labels like Chesky, EMI, Telarc, and AudioQuest, etc. But I can't hear much above 15kHz...was a drummer for too long and trashed my ears.
Unfortunately, audio stablity isn't great as Note 2 because I encounter some audio dropout even it's rare. Next week I will switch memory card to does it help.

Hmmm...I hope it is just your microSD card causing the dropout problem. Please let us know when you try a new microSD card. Thanks!
Would Like to know this as well. Did you ever find the answer? I think i saw it on the back on the 5100 unboxing video but have not found any info on the 5110 version. If the 5100 has it, i would think the 5110 does.
No i haven't found out yet. Still looking for an answer.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
The N5110 and 5100 both have AptX. My set of AptX headphones have an EQ mode that only functions when AptX isn't enabled. It works on my Thinkpad (no AptX) and not on my Note 8, leading me to the conclusion AptX is working and integrated.
Thank you. Would be nice if there was a App that could tell you. I looked and did not find one. I thought it might. I saw a unboxing of the n5100 and it was printed on the back apt-x, so i knew it had it. I figured the 5110 should also then. But thx again with the info.

Although I would tend to agree with you there could be some sources of error, which makes your conclusion tenative. I have contacted both Samsung and CSR, who has developed APTX. None of them could give a definitive answer! Part of that is the devices vary depending on region. CSR's crew in South Korea, who has worked with Samsung on their devices, will hopefully come back with a clear response. CSR will, come new Year's, set up an APTX microsite to be able to provide more detailed responses than the present general CSR site can supply.
CSR has now via Samsung confirmed the Note 8 sold in the EU has aptx despite that there's no info on the packaging or on the device over here.
