Changing bluetooth audio codec

@AnotherElk

As long as you explain the issue I see no problem in selling the phone.

Seconded. Bluetooth is such a traditionally unreliable technology, many people understand this and can’t be bothered to be grumpy about it. Just state the apparent incompatibility with your headphones model when selling the phone.

I disagree. This is not an issue with Bluetooth or compatibility. The headphones are compatible and Bluetooth is working as it should. This issue lies entirely with Fairphone OS. It is a bug, plain and simple.

This issue appears fixed for me with Android 11, at least with AAC (Bose Quiet Comfort 45).

Probably not. If you read carefully, you’ll learn that the described problem has not occured with Bose, moreover it is stated, that Bose seems a bit of an exception as headphones of other manufactorers simply do not work.

Actually, the issue IS fixed as of now! At least for me on my FP3+ with my Sony WH-1000XM4 headset:

Using AAC on Fairphone 3+

I can confirm that HD-Audio is now working on my FP3+! Very happy about this, I almost gave the phone away already because of this ridiculous issue and the only reason I still have it is because my friend didn’t want it. I will tell the FP-support that the issue is resolved for now and beg them to not ruin everything again.
