Bluetooth 5.0- How to use Dual Audio? - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

We all know 1+5 is having Bluetooth 5.0 which can let you connect 2 devices at one time but how to use it?
Galaxy S8 has an inbuilt option known as "Dual Audio" which lets you do that!
Any playstore app that you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

S* has it because samsung made "its own" software for dual audio. Bluetooth 5 is not enabled until Android O. Current version of android does not support BL 5

It's not missing, it's in developer settings.

Do you mind explaining me where I can find it? I searched through the developer settings and didn't know what I have to choose/enable to enable dual bluetooth casting.

Of course not Well go to developer settings obviously and then below the option of the USB configuration, you'll find all Bluetooth specific options. The option you're looking for is called something like "Mode for bluetooth audio channel" and there you can select mono or stereo.

I think what @TheDj408 wants to achieve is bluetooth streaming/casting to two different devices (speakers, etc.), which is different from the bluetooth audio mode options you've mentioned.

Ah I see. But doesn't it depend on which devices he uses? I mean there is no universal solution, is it?

I suppose. Not sure if OP5 is capable of that, to be honest.

That's the same thing I want to do. Basically stream music on two devices at the same time. I don't even know if the Galaxy S8 is capable of doing that or if it also just got streaming the audio to one and everything else to other device.
So current solution with developer settings just enable this mode. I hope someone will look into it when Oreo gets more spread.

That is not a solution, that will just change the bluetooth audio output mode (between mono and stereo sound) but only for the device it is already streaming to. It will not change the number of devices you can stream to.

I know that there is an option... I have found it... But I can't connect two boxes/speakers

Maybe someone is able to write something like a mod for enabling this... Something you can use with root access... But I don't know if that's possible

Has anyone found a solution yet?

[Q] Channel 12/13 Support

Hi There,
Has anyone noticed the a500 doesn't support channel 12/13 for UK?
This is proving quite irratating. Does anyone know how to enable this? In previous versions of android the regulatory settings could be controlled from the device settings but i can find no options. Does anyone know?
It looks like it is set for US 1-11channel, i dont know how to change it for europe 1-13channel.
Shouldn't be too hard, my Tegra 2 Gtab supports all 14 channels, you just select 11, 13 or 14(Japan). It doesn't even ask where you are, just offers those three options for the amount of channels.
But you have android 2.2, we have android 3.0.1 and this option in WIFI settings is missing there. How to change it otherway?

Any clue anyone?
Can a European or non-NA member can confirm they access channels 1-13 or 14? I'd be willing to risk flashing that to my A500, worst case I take it in and exchange it.

[HOW TO] Enable USB option in settings

If you have WP 8.1 dev preview you can try:
Launch Bing or Cortana
Type in ‘USB’
Swipe left to ‘phone’
Tap Settings > USB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now we see USB settings, but I don't know whether or not the feature works. Anyway - we see so that is already in the system.
Source: http://www.wpcentral.com/bing-search-reveals-hidden-usb-settings-windows-phone-81
Weird thing...
I was browsing registry a week ago and found these settings there. I posted to the 8.1 tweaking topic about them, with a sidenote that what happened, this didnt come tothe final build. After posting I was swiping in the settings and saw the USB -settings menu there. Then I just thought I have missed the whole usb-settings in the preview and edited my post about that.
Now that I saw the news abotu this in WPC yesteday, I went to the settings and the USB -settings is not present anymore. I dont know I probably then enabled/disabled it myself then from the settings.
Posted the reg tweak to the tweaking topic how to make the usb settings menu appear in the settings.

Same error in network profile.
I can get to the option on my Windows Phone 8x, but it says "Not connected" even though the phone is connected to my computer via USB.
Same for me
For network profile I have same error. I don't know what is that, but I tried

Me too for network profile, but I enabled USB in settings, as @Loco explained here. - of course with interop unlock, using samwp8tools and regedit-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718311&page=4
This is the command: LOCALMACHINE (check DWORD)
Path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\USB
Key: DisableUSBControlPanel
Value: 0
I've enabled both options, but they don't seem to work on my 820 (yet). Probably why the setting was hidden in the first place... :/
this is the reason...
I activated the settings but it doesn't allert me when I connect a slow charger
with web reg you can see there are more keys to USB :
possibly just a complete coincidence but not long after enabling this I started getting issues with the phone charging, in that it wouldn't charge or connect via USB, a reset fixed it and not been an issue since. probably nothing but if more folk find this happening it might be worth while keeping track of it to potentially warn others.
after all, its not as if these settings are super secrete or against the wishes of the networks so the settings are not live for a reason....perhaps that's it.
food for thought

I've been looking for it on and off today honestly. Wanted to use it for a tasker profile. But it's no longer a settings activity named smartbonding. Been scouring activities all through relevant system apps to try to find something that I think would be it with no luck.
Honestly I havent tried super hard. More just in off time when I remember it, or notice my booster turned off again. (on tmobile so I have the switch in settings to turn it on and off)
But ill keep you posted if I find it
International unlocked 950f model and i have it here. Just search for it

Carrier disabled. Not removed from the system though.
Were trying to figure out the new activity name for it.
Before even when it was disabled, you could use Nova launcher activity to find it in settings.
Use to be called . settings$smartbondingserviceactivity
Okay so from what I can tell there is nothing referring to download Booster or smart bonding in any of the activities. I believe it is part of an activity menu of some sort now and no longer called bonding. I've checked in every activity sub group.

You and me both. I have download booster on tmobile. I feel like they changed it from a settings activity and embedded it so people couldn't do this. What I think i might do later today is debug the phone and see what script comes up when I enable it and report back.
Man. I guess this isn't an issue for most with this device. Is Sprint the only carrier that hid this setting?
Bump...I know someone can do this easily
Still no luck. Anyone else find a thing worth trying yet?

hotspot question

Hi,I'm new in op platform so I like to know why in hotspot settings you can't change channel? My s8+ had that in extra settings. Is it possible to change with some app?
Nobody knows?
That's never been a standard Android option, Samsung added that.

Thanks for the answer,and there is no app that can do that?
Don't think so, you'd have to have to modify the libraries that control the wifi chipset in order to have those options.

Jac / Sehol E10X Android Head Unit any info

My JAC E10X has this stereo, It is android based but nowhere in the menus I can find more info.
Does anybody know anything else about it?
It uses the app CarbitLink EasyConnection to mirror the phone but I find it very limited. I would like to know if I can enable or sideload android auto (according to JAC it does not support it)
Are you sure it's android?

Yes, sometimes when I turn on the car the display shows an android asking for a password. It happens seldomly but I will see if I can take a picture of it.
