current status of bluetooth headphones

[gandalf]

Hi all

This might not be FP3 specific, feel free to move it. That said I got a new pair of Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones with bluetooth v5.2. While the pairing works just about instantly when turning the headphones on I couldn't get them to either play music nor ring on incoming calls.
What is the current state of BT on the fp3+ (OTA-24)?

Thanks

@gandalf Same as it has always been. But should be better once 20.04 is released.

@gandalf
Sure your device doesn't pair with a different device somewhere around? I fell for this trap once and later found a BT-Speaker paired instead of my headphones.

You can check in System Settings.

On my FP3 (not +) EarFun headphones work without problems.

With my FP3+ i can use my fp earbuds for music but not for calling. It also works in my car but i did not tried calling

@arubislander
unfortunate, but no surprise there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I installed UT20.04 on my Fairphone 4 (which is waiting for waydroid for me to make the switch) and that works for music. Even BT multipoint works between the Momentum 4, FP4, and an ubuntu laptop :party_popper:. not sure yet about calls on any of them.

@muskist
No, it clearly identifies the headphones as "MOMENTUM 4" and claims to be connected, but without signal strength

@RedXXIII
I don't have any other bluetooth devices to test this with, but at least I can confirm music working on a FP4/UT20.04.
