> w810i AAC-HE problem
Bookmark topic
OK apparently the W810i supports AAC-HE and AAC+ (The w800 and K750 do not, but K800 users could try this)
However, when I encode a High Complexity AAC file using Nero, it sounds great on the PC (e.g. played in Nero Showtime) but the phone only seems to play the underlying Low Complexity stream, thus the music sounds rubbish and muffled.
How can I get the phone to play AAC-HE properly?
Try what I did and you'll see what I mean
Cheers

bump... NO-ONE seems to know much about this, note w800 and k750 do not support this codec, but W300, W550, W600, W810, W900, Z530, K610, K790, K800 do

As far as I know, W810 doesn't support advanced AAC decoding, where did you read that info ?
BTW, it's really a firmware related so I want to ask SE officials why they didn't include such support in this phone ?!

I read it from the official SE specs, I didn't make the thing up!

My point is support IS supposed to be included but I can't get it to work.

Try then AAC simple . It has still good quality. I tryed on NOKIA 6230 ( 2004 fone ) and it sounds very good AAC ... so this model it must have better cappabilities! Cheers.

And one thing more. I converted now a song in AAC , i selected LFP profile , and also with MS Stereo and LFE futures checked . And guess what, it doesen't play , guess i need a specific decoder . So my advice, use normal AAC encoding and it should work perfectly . Even with simple AAC you still get superior quality than MP3's.

Thank you and I appreciate your help but I am not a noob, I'm very proficient and know how to encode in AAC, infact I am using it already.
I'm simply trying to work out if the phone has a specific requirement ie 32kHz 44.1khz bit rate CBR VBR etc in order to play HE-AAC, not basic AAC.
By using HE-AAC you can effectively make your files much smaller even than AAC whilst still keeping the same perceptual output quality.
Infact if YOU ask ME, I'll send you a HE-AAC track I've encoded at extremely low bitrate which will play properly in newer versions of Win Media Player, ie 10 or 11beta, or Nero Showtime or New Winamp, and you can guage the advantage it has over regular AAC.
Now can someone please tell me why w810i won't play HE-AAC properly

From that same document, these standards are supposedly supported in W550/W810: WAV, AAC+, RA8
Ive had the W550 and the W810 now but neither was able to play any of the above formats (with the exception of WAV, which is dependent on the encoding)
I really think
should be more careful about their WPs. If they say it supports WAVs partially, it should have been indicated there. I can only assume AAC+ and RA8 are supported partially too.. now it doesnt even say in the WP what specific parameters should be used when encoding in AAC+ and RA8 (I vaguely remember coming across something either in the W810 whitepaper or some other whitepaper the requirements for WAV encoding - but no traces for AAC+ or RA8 whatsoever neither in the WPs nor in the manual)
