ok, here's my problem and hopefully someone is able to help
I tried pairing a T505 headset to my N7, everything was going great until nothing happened
I looked at the list of paired devices and there was my T505, thinking it was paired I clicked on it and then ti said "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"
Everytime I click on it, it crashes...here's the weird part, I tried pairing another headset (Moto Finiti) and it works flawlessly, I can connect/unpair without the "settings" crashing
The T505 can connect to my other phones (blackberry bold/nexus/s2/iphone)
so here is my question, how do we eliminate all settings in the bluetooth menu, since I cannot access the "android menu button"
You could try Settings > All > Bluetooth share > Force stop > Clear cache > Clear data. Worth a try.

thanks for the effort, but that didn't work...already tried that
Just to be clear, if you touch the settings icon to the right edge of the paired device you get the 'Unfortunately, settings...' message. Do you get that if you just touch the paired item?
Same issue here on stock rooted 4.2.
I also can NOT get bluetooth to pair with my Hp dm1 Notebook running windows 8.. It works fine with usb adb and android sdk of course. Even eclipse sees it as a build device fine . So i know its A Bluetooth bug in one of the two.. Both have new software so not sure which one is the issue or a combination of both...

I am a blueetooth newbie...
I have the same issue but with a bluetooth connection to a printer.
No matter the device.
Is there a quick fix for refreshing a device, like a short cut or control software for each device.
Or do I need to go all the time..settings > connection > bluetooth > device > edit > refresh
Evey time...what are the options...
Hi folks,
I upgraded my Hermes with Schap's Windows Mobile 6 ROM. Works fine so far. But when I try to use my Bluetooth GPS it acts strange.
I paired the Bluetooth device and set up a COM-port for the applications. The first time it works. The next time, when I switch on Bluetooth and start for example TomTom, the Hermes tells me there is a new Bluetooth device that wants to connect. I checked and found out the GPS is still in the list of known Bluetooth devices and the COM-port is set. But the assistant is still bugging until I add the "new" device. After that of course my "old" device is gone.
How can I avoid this? Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I have the same issue, really annoying so would love to know the answer

On your Hermes:
Have you tried to checked off: "Make this device visible to other devices"?
Under: Start\Settings\Connections\Bluetooth\Mode (2nd tab on the bottom)
Option #1 (Hermes)
~If, "Make this device visible to other devices is not enabled, delete the pairing for your GPS.
~Check off "Make this device visible to other devices"
~Pair your GPS again (ensure that "Make this device visible to other devices" is still enabled)
Option #2 (GPS)
Don't know what kind of settings for bluetooth you may have on your GPS. I found for my car stereo, that I needed to leave it, in the "waiting/open for connection mode.
Now when I turn the car on it automatically connects the phone and stereo off my Hermes.
What I'm basically saying here is there may be a setting to leave your GPS automatically open for bluetooth connections?
I think option #1 may do the trick....
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

If your concerned about Security you can always change the Pairing codes.
and or turn off bluetooth when not needed.
I'm unaware of any cases where one can connect unless there paired, so in most cases access needs to be allowed on both ends, usually needing pairing codes. Even if it is one way, an approval code will still be needed.
What I found is this, if you want automatic connecting with one way pairing codes i.e. (Car Stereo to PDA or GPS to PDA) You'll need to allow "make device visible" checked off. The usual cause is a memory storing issue with the GPS or Car Stereo. I know that on high end Stereo's and GPS's they have on board memory which will save connection settings, where you'd put pairing codes on both ends and it will save the settings, thus negating the need to leave visible.
Don't know if I answered your question?
Hope I was able to shed some light on the subject....
Good Luck!
I switched on car mode via the notification panel once to see how well it works with my car infotainment system.
I now cannot disable car mode. Switching it off via the panel does nothing as it will autostart once the BT connection to my car (Command Online) is established.
I can't find the setting to disable it and Dr Google has solutions for older iterations of Android or Galaxies but not Note 4.
Anyone else having the same issue and found a solution?
I am hoping not to factory reset.

Found it eventually.
Pretty unintuitive as setting was hidden in a submenu under My cars.
Start Car mode >3 dot menu, top right > Settings > My cars > untick auto open via Bluetooth
Hi I've just got myself a n6p & the device is brilliant I have one issue & am wondering if there is a solution to it. My Bluetooth won't find my universal Sony car stereo, wont find my son's bt headphones it will find his m7 & my htc m8. Things I have tried are clearing bt app cache & rebooting, settings location 3 dot menu, I've booted into safe mode & tried to connect and I've just flashed elementalx kernel to see if that would solve it which it hasn't. Am I better resetting it and taking it back to the store.
# update
I have reset the stereo Inc removing the car battery terminal for 5 mins & still my Sony stereo will not show on my device list, I have a also tried my partners m8's & dare I say it my brothers iThingi & they won't connect but my old m8 will.
# Update
Been digging a bit more and it dosnt only seem to be with the issue https://code.google.com/p/android/i...ry Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=189188#makechanges
are you sure you have the devices in discover mode when you are searching for them ?

It says it as when I go to search it says "N6 is visible to nearby devices.

correct, that means that your phone is visible to other devices that are in search mode.
often times, you will need to enable the other devices to be visible to your phone.
In other words, just because bluetooth is enabled on a device, doesn't mean it is discoverable to other devices, they need to be made discoverable.
Hello all.
I am having some bluetooth connectivity problem with my moto g 4 US xt1625 Retus channel (non amazon version) stock everything.
Basically the connection to my smartwatch is unstable and keeps dropping on and off.
Normally I would be blaming the smartwatch for this BUT it connects absolutely perfectly to my moto G2 (cyanogenmod 14) without any hint of misbehavior
I've already tried;
Forgetting and re-pairing device (also rebooting phone before repairing)
Factory resetting watch
clearing app data and cache of system bluetooth apps ("bluetooth share" and "bluetooth MIDI")
Disabling 4G (sometimes interferes apparently)
Disabling wifi
Running phone in safe mode.
*edit - also tried disabling power optimisation for both system bluetooth apps AND the watch companion app
I also reconnected my smartwatch to my old moto G 2 after trying all these things and it still works perfectly.
Old moto G2 had blutooth 4.0 LE and this moto G4 has bluetooth 4.2 LE which would offer no comparability issues.
Has anyone had any similar problems with their bluetooth?
Thanks in advance
I think my next move will be to root, and start removing G apps that could be interfering with the bluetooth connection

I have had a problem with my Fitbit connecting that didn't happen on my G2 or G3. I keep my cordless home phone connected with no problem though. What I have to do is forget the Fitbit in my bluetooth devices and it connects fine. If it's even showing up in the bluetooth devices it won't connect. That seems strange that it will only connect that way but others have reported the same thing. Maybe try and see if it connects after you forget it in the bluetooth settings and it's not even showing up.

OK maybe you're on to something.
If I connect to the watch using the companion app, then enter bluetooth settings and "forget" the device..... It still appears to be connected
But a few seconds later, it automatically pairs and re-appears in the "paired devices" list.
Is there a way to prevent re-connect?
Actually, after "forgetting" it several times, It's staying connected and has done for a 15 minutes now.
I'll report back if and when it disconnects.
Cheers
Ok so the watch disconnected a couple of times in a few hours. (this is a huge improvement from before)
Each time, "forgetting" the watch in bluetooth settings caused an automatic re-pair and return to good connection.
Maybe I can use "tasker" or similar app to automate this unpair upon disconnect?
Cheers

Yeah, it's strange that it works that way. I think it's the device not compatible with that version Bluetooth. My Fitbit doesn't try to reconnect once I forget it unless I make it pair then it will actually work sometimes and sometimes it doesn't when paired. It always works if I don't pair it at all. Have you tried clicking on the gear besides your watch in more settings once it connects and unchecking what ever connectons it shows in the check boxes?

If i click the gear next to the watch in the bluetooth settings, the only options i have are to rename the device, or to forget it
I have no checkboxes or anything like thar.
Do you have advanced bluetooth settings installed or something???

Some of my devices have check boxes for contacts, audio, etc. but not all. I thought maybe that would be something to look at.

Ok, its still messing around. I'm going to install the Temasek unofficial cyanogenmod 13 and see if that is an immediate fix, or if the additional options offers a fix.
Cheers
update;
after ugrading moto g4 to android nougat (7.0.1) I no longer have any issues with bluetooth connectivity.
6.0.1 was to blame!
my phone is updated to stock Nougat also and still having bluetooth issues staying connected to my car (2012 ford fusion with mysync) I will be keeping an eye on this thread.

I seldom connect my phone to mysync but my wife does. She also keeps her G4 connected to the Panasonic home phone system while home. I've noticed that since the update to Nougat mysync is very slow to connect on her phone. The Panasonic cordless phone seems to connect fine. Mysync will usually connect although she has to drive for 10 or 15 minutes before it does occasionally and other times it connects instantly. One time I had to delete her phone in the car and add it back. I wondered if it was a problem of it not disconnecting from the Panasonic, but that shouldn't be past the end of the driveway. Then again it may be just a rip in the space time continum. ?
