It’s hard to deny that most of us get all of our media from our smartphones. Even more than before, we tend to play audio over headphones, speakers, car sound systems, and a host of other devices using Bluetooth connections. Now, while this is already pretty great, it can get even better.
There are some Bluetooth modifications and undiscovered secrets that can enhance your music experience if you have a Samsung smartphone such as the Galaxy S9. In this guide, we’ll show you these Bluetooth modifications and how to use them to get an even more wholesome audio experience on Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
Different Ways to Improve Bluetooth Functions on Samsung Galaxy Smartphones
To achieve this, you’ll need to access your phone’s settings in order to enable the majority of these Bluetooth upgrades because they aren’t usually turned on by default. Fortunately, most of the settings are accessible without any difficulty. To help you get the best of Bluetooth functionality on your Galaxy, we’ve highlighted the top ones below.
Pair More than One Speaker for Extra Volume and Sound
You can get more of your favorite sounds by pairing more than one speaker or headphone to your Samsung Galaxy device through the Bluetooth connection. You should enable the Dual Audio setting on your phone if you wish to set this up and increase the audio output in your home. A Galaxy model that supports Bluetooth 5 or higher is required for Dual Audio, therefore you’ll need a Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8, or newer device.
Go to the Bluetooth menu under Settings, hit the three-dot menu button, and choose “Dual audio” to test it out. To activate the option, tap on the toggle located at the top of the “Dual Audio” page. If Media volume sync is enabled, you will be prompted to turn it off in order for dual pairing to function. Tap “Turn Off” to do this. You can now pair a second speaker or headset with your Galaxy mobile once that is complete.
It should be noted that depending on the Bluetooth versions of the two devices, the audio output may not play in perfect sync. For instance, if one speaker is using Bluetooth 4.1 and another is using Bluetooth 5, one speaker may trail the other by a small amount. If the speakers are in different rooms, this slight difference might not be noticeable much. However, it’s still something to think about.
Quick Access to Bluetooth Settings
Accessing the Bluetooth settings on your Galaxy has never been simpler thanks to the updated Quick Settings panel that came with Android Nougat. There are two additional ways to use this toggle, in addition to clicking the Bluetooth symbol to rapidly enable or disable the capability (as you most likely already know).
The Quick Settings page will change into a mini-menu where you can quickly connect to Bluetooth devices if you tap the term “Bluetooth” underneath the symbol. On the other hand, if you long-press the Bluetooth icon, you’ll swiftly access the complete Bluetooth menu in your device’s Settings, where you can carry out a variety of operations, such as pairing and modifying current Bluetooth connections.
Although the Bluetooth Quick Settings tile is prominently displayed inside the menu, you also have the choice of shifting it to a more convenient area that is more suited to your needs. To fully show Quick Settings, swipe downwards twice from your screen’s top edge. Then, hit the menu button beside the settings cog and choose “Button Order” from the menu that appears.
Move and drop the Bluetooth Quick Settings tile to the desired position in the menu at that point, and then press “Done” to confirm and finish the process.
Configure a Separate App Sound
The audio disruptions from other apps are one of the main inconveniences you’ll experience while watching media on your Bluetooth speakers or headphones. Every time you receive a notification, the music fades out for a brief period of time. Fortunately, your Galaxy phone can stop this by isolating one app from all the others and just playing that app’s music through your Bluetooth speakers.
It’s a creative setting. The general idea is that only the sound from one specific app will play over Bluetooth while you are connected to Bluetooth speakers or headphones. The built-in speakers on your phone will continue to play the rest of its audio as usual.
Go to your phone’s settings and select “Sounds and Vibration” to test it out. The setting is located here and is called Separate App Sound. When you are on that page, choose this option and then hit the toggle to enable the feature. To complete your choices, tap “Select” from the prompt that appears.
Next, choose the app you want to use with your Bluetooth device. Either press the desired app or add it using “Add application,” then choose “Bluetooth device” to connect it to your speaker or headphones.
After that, any sounds produced by your other apps won’t interfere with the Bluetooth stream because they’ll originate from your device’s speaker instead.
In summary, if you know the right tweaks to apply, you can get so much more out of your audio experience with some Bluetooth functions on Samsung Galaxy devices. Take a cue from the tips we’ve provided in this guide to benefit from these functions.
