Unofficial Galaxy Buds Client for Windows

An unofficial Galaxy Buds Manager for Windows

Galaxy Buds Client

An unofficial Galaxy Buds Manager for Windows

This Client is a product of my research on the custom RFComm Serial Protocol the Buds use to receive and send binary (configuration) data. If you are interested in the structure of the protocol and its serial messages, I recommend you to check my notes out which I took while reverse-engineering the whole thing.

Features

New features (in addition to the existing ones):

  • Display detailed sensor statistics on the dashboard, this includes:
    • Voltage and Current of the in-built ADC (Analog-to-Digital converter) of both Earbuds
    • Temperature of both Earbuds
    • More precise battery percentage (instead of steps of 5)
  • Perform a self-test with all on-board components
  • Display various (debug) information, including:
    • Hardware Revision
    • (Touch) Firmware Version
    • Bluetooth Addresses of both Earbuds
    • Serial Numbers of both Earbuds
    • Firmware Build Info (Compile Date, Developer Name)
    • Battery Type
    • Other sensor data
  • Equalizer: unlock 'Optimize for Dolby' feature[1]
  • Touchpad: Combine Volume Up/Down with other options[2]

[1] There are actually 10 EQ-Presets, not 5. If a Samsung Android device has Dolby enabled, then another set of presets will be used. It is unknown if those extra presets actually are different from the normal ones, but according to the Wearable app, these presets seem to be optimized for use with Dolby. (Note that the Wearable app will automatically reset this feature once connected to a non-Samsung mobile device (with Dolby disabled) when attempting to switch EQ presets in the app)

[2] Note that the Wearable app will automatically reset this feature when attempting to switch Touchpad options in their app

Installation

This app requires .Net Framework 4.6.1 or higher (Download)

You can download a fully automated Setup in the release section of this repo!

Designed for the original Galaxy Buds. Galaxy Buds Plus are unsupported since I do not own a pair.

[UI Issue] Custom actions not visible

image image

Hi! Looks like UI when choosing custom actions is broken in both light and dark themes.

By the way, is it possible to make application respect system-wide light and dark themes? I use custom powershell script from PSGallery to switch my Windows themes, look here if interested.

I also know that system-wide theme is set by reg key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize] "AppsUseLightTheme"=dword:00000001 for light (dword:00000000 for dark), maybe it helps.

Would be neat. And is there a way to open discussions instead of issues?

Kind regards, Friendly contributor.

P.S. Only began learning software development (student) - but at least working on russian and ukrainian xamls for translation, also will do readme.

Read buds individual battery level

According to this report, with regular AT commands you can read individual battery level for each earbud. Is this the same you reverse engineered? What do you think about that approach? Dissection improvement: individual battery level for SM-R170 earbuds

[Request] Galaxy Buds Live support

Just putting this out for possible Galaxy Buds live support. This app made using the original buds with Windows 10 a joy due to the quicker pairing/connection.

I'm wondering if support could be added for Buds Live, especially since it seems Samsung hasn't even provided an official app for Windows this time.

Also finding out about hidden/locked away features is fun too ๐Ÿ’ฏ

P.S: I do understand that for this to happen, you probably need to have the Buds Live on-hand to trace the Bluetooth communication messages.

[REQ] Multi-device management

I have both Buds Pro and Buds+ and both will be connected to my PC. Currently, when I switch from one pair of headphones to the other, I need to re-pair the devices, which is slightly tedious. I would like the software to be able to connect to the new device quickly.

[REQ] Battery usage data, battery health estimation, remaining battery usage duration

It is not possible to know how degraded the battery life of the device, headphones or case is.

GBM should keep track of battery usage and use that data to estimate battery health (capacity) and use duration at 100% battery. It would be great to also estimate battery health and use duration at 100% battery without battery usage data. Battery health could be displayed in GBM - System - View System Information - Battery Type.

The dashboard could be improved by including:

  • Case battery %
  • Case voltage, milliamp hours and watt hours (switchable, like the temperature switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit)
  • Case drain and charge in mA and watts (switchable)
  • Case temperature (switchable)
  • Case remaining use duration at current battery % (Switchable, current power drain and average power drain)
  • Earbud voltage, milliamp hours and watt hours (switchable)
  • Earbud drain and charge in mA and watts (switchable)
  • Earbud use duration at current battery % (Switchable, current power drain and average power drain)

Below the earbuds & case menu a new menu could display:

  • Case charge duration and use duration for 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% battery
  • Earbud charge duration and use duration for 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% battery

[BUG] Garbled connection at start of audio feed. Gets worse with progressive restarting/refreshing of video in Chrome.

Describe the bug Bluetooth connection is "garbled" during the first few seconds (up to a minute) when YouTube videos are reloaded.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open YouTube, start a video. (There is a little bit of garble at first.)
  2. Click refresh on your browser. (Audio will be garbled more)
  3. Refresh video. (Issue will get worse.)
  4. Kill GBC, kill browser.
  5. Reopen GBC. Reopen browser.
  6. Repeat from step 1 and the issue gets worse with every new video or refresh.

To Fix

  1. Kill GBC

Expected behavior Non-sporadic compression issues?

Screenshots Totally an audio issue.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10 Home 64bit / 19042.804, 20H2
  • Application version: 4.1

Additional context During the start of audio, it actually sounds like BT interference. I suspect it's some kind of buffering issue, but I don't know squat about the BT stack, so who knows?
