Bluetooth 5.0 connection to 2 audio devices

Dmr17 — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 10:46:25 GMT

Hallo everyone,

I just got my xz premium and ive tried connecting 2 Bluetooth speakers, but i couldnt figure out how to get both playing music, since there are 2 profiles, one for calls and one for media. So my question is, is it possible to choose the media profile for both of them(i can only choose one media device at a time) or isnt it possible yet?

Hope i expressed myself und understandable.

Greetings

For bluetooth 5.0 multi audio you need a headphone that is also bluetooth 5.0 and there are none at this moment.

Samsung is just a work around but can't use bluetooth 5.0 yet either since it's not supported by Nougat. Android O does support it

I just got it confirmed that Xperia devices do not support multi A2DP functionality, and it is therefore not possible to connect the Xperia XZ Premium to two different Bluetooth speakers.

Hi, is this related? - I've got a Sony SmartWatch 3 (SWR50) that worked perfectly well with my Z5 but since upgrading to my XZ Premium I have had difficulties with it staying connected.

I have been able to initially set it up a number of times (you have to go through a full factory reset on the watch to connect it to a new device) but after a time (haven't been able to spot a pattern) it shows as not connected and the Android Wear app shows "trying to connect". I also see a message on both the watch and the phone to confirm the code for initial pairing.

I connect the phone to my car's bluetooth and that does not have any of the same problems

Thanks in advance

Hi Christopher, as far as I know bluetooth profiles get updates time to time and it`s the abilily of B5.0 to play multiple speaker. Can you please recommend that "multi A2DP" to be add on future update, because it`s not a hardware issue like the FM Radio?

Thank you

Bluetooth connection problem with 1 bmw series car

I just bought the new XZ premium, just can not connect via Bluetooth to my bmw series 1. It only recognizes the phone and not the multimedia so it does not play music, Spotify, etc. While I use my old Z5 premium no problem. It is definitely a problem with Bluetooth software.

Sorry for my bad English, but im italian

Ya agreed!

It's sad to see the Xperia ZX Premium have Bluetooth 5.0 but not possible to have 2 audio devices. while Samsung S8 works.

Hope they realease new update soon and make it possible :).

No device currently has the ability to use Bluetooth 5.0. Android Nougat does not support it. When android O hits the market, then you will be able to use it, but until then, it's in limbo. The new xperia also support 5g networks, but we won't get that until a provider puts them out. It's a future proof device.

You might be able to connect to multiple devices through the developer options which you have to enable. I didn't test if it works or not as i dont have any Bluetooth device around me. But in the settings it allows upto 5 devices.

Make sure you don't play with some options in the developer options as you might run into problems.

You can connect to more then 1 BT Device when you set it in the developer options but you can only play sound on one connected device (and switching between the devies but) not on all at the same time. Next mobile phone will be Samsung again, its very sad to see Sony is not able to support simple options like dual audio.
