A2DP bluetooth not on the update

mikesimm9 — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 16:20:02 GMT

My TV is the 43XD8099 (which i am told is ATV2) and able to update better than ATV1

With the 6.2602 Nougat firmware, I thought my TV would get all the improvements - it gets NEARLY all but for some reason not the A2DP bluetooth profile.

Does anyone from the forum, or from Sony know if this is because they haven't got round to it or is it something to do with the chipsets used in the 43XD8099.

I had understood that because this model could handle things like Picture in Picture and the other new upgrades that A2DP would be included.

Any thoughts anyone ?

according to sony site, XE models do have A2DP profile (not really, they will have via future update). Since the SoC is sthe same ATV2 maybe that will come to ATV2 models from 2016 also.

Thanks for the reply

I'm not sure what SoC stands for - although as soon as you tell me I'm sure it will seem obvious !

A2DP is for XE 2017 models, from XE85 to XE93/94 and OLED A1.

Is there any technical reason for that or just SONYs way of doing business? The SoC is the same, right?

Thanks

That's put perfectly and that's what I want to understand

is there a technical reason why A2DP can't be added

Can you clarify what SoC stands for please

Meaning of SoC

hvalentim — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 19:43:22 GMT

"A system on a chip or system on chip (SoC or SOC) is an integrated circuit (also known as an "IC" or "chip") that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic systems. It may contain digital, analog, mixed-signal, and often radio-frequency functions—all on a single substrate. SoCs are very common in the mobile computing market because of their low power-consumption. A typical application is in the area of embedded systems."

Source and further details: Wikipedia

I reckon you can see it as a sort of all-in-one "motherboard" integrating the components which define the "architecture" of the TV and it's "capabilities". It's technological "base" or "form factor".

Sony TVs seem to use mostly Mediatek SoCs.

Instaling A2dp

Hi,

I've paired successfully bluedio and Sony headset with a2dp installing a third party bluetooth package.

- Desactivate in parameters security "Verify applications"

- Activate in parameters security "allow unknow sources"

- Download this link on your Android Sony TV:

https://cloud.wifx.net:5001/sharing/5JrJhDsqU

- Find a way to copy it to your tv with FK file explorer and install it

- In settings applications, click on smart bluetooth and autorisations, activate all

- In settings applications, click on smart bluetooth and open it

- Scan for device with your headset in pairing mode

- Application is made for a touch screen, but with right and left you can select your device without seeing cursor.

- Once paired, it will be listed in parameters bluetooth and you can you it after without this additional software.

Best regards,

hi, how are u.i wanna thank u for your best advice to connect headphones to Bravia TVs.

so here what I've got a problem.

my tv is KD-43X8000D and I bought a wh-1000x m3 headphone

I try to connect it to my tv but I couldn`t so I searched it and I founded that my tv doesn't support a2dp that give u access to connect an audio device such as my headphone.

so I read ur advice and install smartbluetooth. but when I go to Bluetooth settings and trying to pair them it just searches and search and search and it doesn't find my headphone.

by the way, I go to smartbluetooth app and search devices and it found my headphone there but when I select my headphone on the list it couldn't be connected.

so do u have any advice?

The Bluetooth of the TV is not suitable for the connection of audio devices, there is a workaround that provides installation Side load of the "Bluetooth Pair" App, after having found the installation package of the App (APK) and having downloaded it via Computer (then transferred to TV via USB memory).

On the TV you can install the application after giving permission to install from "Unknown Sources", there is a MENU item in Android TV.

For the installation you need a File Manager that you can download and install from the Play Store.

Probably now you can pair a Bluetooth audio device.

Hi Manolo, thank you for the list of all needed steps. I own Sony 43w75c and I did everything you wrote, but the last step, when I tried to connect my Bose Soundlink Evolve, nothing happened, so the TV sees the device thanks to the app, but doesn’t successfuly connect. Any tips? Or I just buy some kind of transmitter and male the connection throught it. Many thanks for your help. Danny

For anyone landing in this forum, if you are running Android on your Bravia - go to Aptoide store, get bluetooth-pair app, google the instructions online if you have issues, you can run A2DP bluetooth device with multiple Android Bravias even if they say they dont support it.

hello
I have a sony android tv model KD-43XH8096 which recently updated to android 10, after this update I can no longer connect the wi c200, WH-1000XM3 or WH-1000XM5 headphones nor the SRS-XB33 portable speaker. The only device I can connect is the xperia 1 iv.
I would like to mention that on android 9 I was using a third party application with which I was able to connect via bluetooth to the tv
Is there any solution to solve the problem
thanks
