Issues with android 12 [ bluetooth and slow video ]

[Tom_Haldenby]

Has anyone else been having major issues with android 12 since updating their phones?

Updated mine today and, despite connecting properly, it won’t play audio out of my Bluetooth headphones. Plus it’s become incredibly slow and a bit buggy in some cases. Watching YouTube videos are now, for some inexplicable reason, unbelievably slow and laggy despite my internet connection being good.

Not really sure what to do about it. I’ve restarted it, and reset network and Bluetooth settings but it’s still not sorted it.

Seems like android 12 had teething issues when it came to the pixel phones however long ago now, but none of the fixes on those forums are sorting the issues out for me. Very frustrating. Advice would be appreciated!

Bluetooth audio bug on Android 12

I have the same issue with Aptx not being able to play audio. Instead the media is constantly pausing and unpausing. Aptx worked on Fairphone 4 with Android 11 Android defaults to Aptx instead of AAC. I would have to switch to AAC in the developer options every time my headphones connect For now I can deal with it by turning off HD Audio and using SBC but it’s slightly worse quality-wise Does anybody know if there’s a way of disabling Aptx as an option?

Android 12 has come to the FP4

Yes, it seems like that’s the case. And I doubt that this behavior is intentional. Additionally, if I manually add the At a Glance widget on another screen, it works just fine (including weather, events, etc.)

change Bluetooth-A2DP-Hardware-Offload in developer settings.
a reboot is required.

Ahh thanks for this !! Didn’t think to scroll down and read the comments on that post. Very helpful :))

The Bluetooth thing has been solved for me by turning of the aptX audio thing in settings.

I don’t know whether this is the right place or totally wrong. So forgive me please.

I’ve finally succeeded to get sound through my Bluetooth ear buds again after upgrading Android from 11 to 12 on my FP4.
It took a while and I can’t say exactly what I did but attached screenshots shows the settings I’ve played around with inspired by this forum. (No clear solution for me).

Thus I can’t say whether these settings are optimal but as mentioned I have sound in my ear buds again!

I can’t say exactly what I did

I assume disabling aptX here did the trick,…
