Sure, just turn your bluetooth on and you can change it!

You have to connect to the bluetooth device first

Actually can anybody give.me.the best preset because I searched Internet and did not find any
LOL, what do you mean best preset? Every body has different tastes as far as sound setting goes. Why don't you try different presets to see what suits you the best? I personally usually set it to "rock", but that's just me.

How to get Bluetooth HCI log? See what codec BT is using?

I enable the BT HCI snoop Log option in Dev options...but the Pixel XL does not produce a log file. (My Moto X Pure did fine)
I am trying to get the log file or some app that can read BT info to see what codec it is using to stream media.....
I have read that Pixel doe snot support AptX yet....but I want to see for myself how and what it is using to connect to my devices.
Is there an app that can give that info? with out root...
Anyone?

I have no idea about Android N, but O does.
Pixel only uses the SBC codec until android O. O supports aptX and a few other high definition Bluetooth codecs.
This I know. But doesn't help the issue of no log. My v10 also will not make a log with option checked and I k ow it supports those codecs.
On Android O....is there an Auto detecting codec setting? or if u manually select codec to use, say LDAC...and if the device does not support it, while it fall back to AptX or SBC?
I ask for anyone on the dev preview to try this and report on it.
I have Sony headphones that support LDAC...but my car headunit only supports AptX.
So would be good to know if i need to switch the setting based on device.

It's an auto detect, as my car uses a low level codec, whist my headphones use AptX and it switches itself mate

Still would be great to have a way to detect and see what codec is in use.
No idea why the V10 or Pixel won't produce the log file.

I agree.
Take a look here as they did log which codec was used I believe https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531440

My Moto X Pure has the files for aptx and aptX hd....but not LDAC. I can confirm via the log and wireshark method that both Aptx/HD work.
I don't think the Moto rom and the Pixel is ASOP based...thats a separate form of android like CM and MIUI....i think. could be wrong...been too long...lol.

Audio - high res?

Could someone confirm if the new A50 (and presumably soon the A70 and A90 too) features high-res audio output from the headphone socket (24-bit / 192k for example)? I'm sure the chipset would support it, but not sure what the firmware allows.

Well I use Poweramp audio player which supports high-res playback, and in its Settings > Audio > Output page there should be a "Hi-Res Output" option if that feature is available. It's not a deal-breaker for me in choosing a phone from the new Ax0 range, but it'd be nice. Thanks,
Andre
You mean this setting?

Yes, that's the one. And it looks like high-res is indeed supported, thanks for checking. (16/48 is the default setting, but drilling down in Wired Headset/AUX would allow you to select higher output frequencies).

In the Poweramp app (v3), go to Settings > Audio > Output > Hi-Res Output.
Andre
(full disclosure: I'm a moderator on Poweramp's support forums, however this is not an advert for Poweramp, other high-res audio players are available...)
You can also enable high rez streaming to bluetooth using developer settings. that's how i did it(didn't know it was high rez,just thought the bluetooth audio quality was better)

Thanks

I'm curious did you make an xda account just to start a thread to ask a question? I've noticed everyday now that about 20 people a day start new threads and I wondered why. Xda was developed for people who are into development and want to flash Roms and root their phones.
To answer your question it should you need to turn on developer options and search for Bluetooth codecs. I don't have my Poco f3 yet I just ordered it today otherwise I would tell you how to turn on developer options but it's usually go into settings find your build number and tap on it 7 times and it'll say turned on developer options. I believe the poco f3 is in settings find your MIUI version number and tap it 7 times and then find additional settings and you'll see developer options now. Look for the Bluetooth codecs but here's the bad news. You can only use them on headphones that support the ldac codec the system will over ride your settings and use the headphones settings. Good luck
@Techguy777, you are right! I was so frustrated not finding solutions that I had to be one more these irritanting guys that make a XDA account just to place a thread. I understand you and I'am honestly sorry! Please, accept my apologies
I'am in developer mode since the first day I have this monster phone. Yeah, it's a beast!
In developer mode, the LDAC codec among others is there but It doesn't mean that poco f3 can use it. Sometimes we found in developer mode options or settings that are not usable because they are not still finished and need a final touch in a future firmware upgrade. The POCO F3 has support for AptX HD codec (see specs) but it isn't avaible today. We will have it in a future flash.
My earphones are the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, and they have LDAC Hi-Res codec. All I need now, is a music provider (like Tidal) with hi-res audio streaming service and if the POCO F3 has really the LDAC codec support..... BOOOOOM!!!
Finally, I found elsewhere, LDAC codec is present in any phone that support Android 8 or later. Don't now if is true but I place my bet
Thank you for your king size support
Hi, according to my experience of using Sony WH-1000XM3, Redmi K40 supports LDAC, which should be the same model as POCO F3, but I didn't have a chance to try if it support Hi-Re audio. Hope my experience will be helpful to you.

Sorry to butt in so late but, the Poco F3 does not officially support LDAC. If you force it on via developer options or, in the Android Bluetooth settings, it will only use "Best Effect" LDAC at 360 kbps, which apparently has less clarity than SBC. If you try to set it to "Optimised for Audio Quality" in Developer Options, it just reverts straight back. I ran Bluetooth diagnostic software on my phone and, LDAC was not listed as a selectable codec.

I'd never touched developer options
I'd never touched developer options
before, but LDAC work perfectly with my Soundcore Life Q35 and if I choose "Optimised for Audio Quality" stays on Audio Quality. I use Apple Music lossless audio.

I think I found a way for Android with the Sony XM4, I am not completely sure because I did not have an app to measure the bitrate but there is some clues that shows it works. I use the french app so the name of parameters could be bad translated.
1. You need to download the Sony Music Center App (it is an app different from Sony Headphones Connect).
2. Connect your headphones to your phone with bluetooth.
3. Go to the Sony Music Center App. You will see your heaphone in the list of connected device.
4. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and click on Parameters.
5. Click on bluetooth parameters and click playback quality
6. Choose priority to quality
You can check that the maximum bitrate is set by default by looking at the developper menu in android parameters. If you look at it the LDAC codec automaticaly toggle to 990kbps.
I advice you to restart your phone after that.
However, you need to reopen music center to reactivate 990kbps mode everytime you reconnect your headphone.
Hey folks, what do I need to do to enable ldac for my Poco F3 with Sony headphones?
Use Sony's app
How to activate LDAC on a POKO F3 phone, Sony WH-H900N on ear 2 headphones. Via Music Center error in the screenshot, Music Center also cannot activate, if you select LDAC, then the settings are reset.
