Bluetooth codec stuck on SBC

[sgiesen78]

 First of all, kudos to Sony for the XZ3. For the world's best OLED screen and the most beautiful Sony phone yet.

My Bluetooth codec is stuck on SBC. I am using the in-ear Sony WF-1000X. AAC not possible. No matter what I try (tried to turn on Priority on Sound Quality in the Headphones Connect App).

I am coming from the Sony Xperia XZ and there it worked ....

Android 9 Problem? Anybody in here who has fixed this or connected by using LADAC or AAC ???

Today i got a new Update for my XZ3.

I hoped that it fixes the headset quality  problem, but still XZ3 uses only a lowband SBC while using for a call with my Sennheiser Presence.

The headset works fine with my Samsung S8. So it can´t be a failure of Sennheiser.

Kind Regards

Hey, I'm not sure if you're still having this issue but I noticed that the Headphones Connect app has an option to select better Sound Quality which will change the code from SBC to AAC

Reset the headphones to factory settings. I had the problem with Bluetooth connection stuck in SBC mode. Factory reset cleared it! Good luck
