The problem which I've searched has happened with other Samsung galaxy users is when you have a bluetooth device (headphone) connected to your Samsung phone, when you try to execute a voice command via Google Now, the screen just sits on "Initializing" until you back out and then try again upon which it MAY work or will get stuck again on Initializing.
Can anyone comment on whether this is fixed with the Note 3?
This one issue alone will keep me away from upgrading from my S3 to another Samsung phone.
Not yet solved.
I'm in your same situation.
Did you check Google Now --> Settings --> Voice, and enabled the last option which is "Bluetooth Headset"? It claims to record audio through Bluetooth headset if available.
Hope that helps!

For some reason, my phone and ZenWatch 2 randomly un-pair then try to pair a few seconds after. The weirdest part is that even this happens smart lock gets disabled. I have to be turned back on and add the watch as a trusted device again. It happens maybe once a week and while not a big deal, it is starting to get annoying.
Both are running the latest firmware and Android release. I have performed factory resets on the watch but I'm trying to avoid doing do on my phone. The watch is missing from the bluetooth devices menu do it's not an Android Wear app connection issue. Has this happened anyone?

I don't have a ZenWatch... I have a Pebble Time so I can't really help you but I did have issues trying to get mine to pair and not showing in the bluetooth screen. I found that I had to go into the watch and the settings / bluetooth before the watch would "broadcast" and be available to be "found" in the bluetooth list so that may be one thing you can check with the Zenwatch .. have the settings for the bluetooth open on the watch then try to find it on the Axon 7. I also couldn't pair it in that spot ... it kept giving me a "passcode" error. I had to go to the Pebble app on the phone and pair it through the app.
As for the random unpairing ... sorry to say I don't really have any suggestions on that .. that may be the watch itself ... my pebble has never unpaired once it has been connected.

I didn't have this issue with my last phone (HTC m9) so I don't think it's the watch

sorry for replying and giving you hope you had an answer ... I figured I would just relay my small issues because I never had those issues with my old Galaxy but had a bit with the Axon. Plus the Pebble doesn't use android wear so I really haven't had any experience with it ... sorry again for not actually providing any real help
I had the same issues with zenwatch and zenwatch 2 on different phones. So I just returned them. I assumed the zenwatch's just wouldn't work on Samsung devices. So maybe similar for you is and isn't the watch.
I currently have Samsung gear s2 working fine with phone. (There is issue with phone calls but that is great software issue on every phone other then Samsung)
I had the same issues with my zenwatch2. First the bluetooth devicelist on the phone was empty,no paired devices, i had to do a reset on the watch and pair it new.
This week i had the reconnect issue so i deactivated the audio playback in the zenwatchin settings, now everything works fine.

I'll give that a try
Hello, I have Android 8.0 and tried to use some JVC headphones. But it doesn't see them at all.
I read this is an issue on many phone models, acknowledged by Google, that will be fixed eventually. I see 8.1 has some mention about bluetooth, so the first question is if there is any chance of getting that update sooner on A1?
When I turn on bluetooth outside it sees quite a long list of devices, so apparently the receiver is strong (can pick up signal from far away). But most of the devices are not listed by name, but by a string of numbers and letters. The headphones are not among them. I could pair it, instead with another phone running Miui.
I tried playing with all settings in Developper options with no effect. (They seem to go back to default option anyway.)
Did anybody find a solution to this?
Hi,
I recently purchased Eonon CA8163R and i can't seem to get google assistant to work, it simply does not pick up any sound.
The external mic is working as i have no problem making phone calls. I tried with the bluetooth option enabled and disabled in the google app, i just can't seem to get it to work no matter what i try.
I couldn't find any option to tell the app which mic to use (internal/external), is there something i am missing? anything else i can try?
P.S. i emailed eonon support afew days ago and did not receive any response..
Thanks in advance
Resolved
For anyone who is facing this issue, after back and forth with their support they finally send me an update file , after installation the issue was resolved.
Hi,
After upgrading to Android 8.0 on my H870 I'm encountering multiple issues.
Using my G6 with Ford Sync 2 or 3 keeps crashing Bluetooth. Meanwhile using Bluetooth with my Marshall Stockwell works absolutly fine. Unpairing and pairing again doesn't seem to work.
Also GPS in Google Maps only works for locating me, but when using it with Navigation my location keeps being stuck at my original position and doesn't move...
HERE also keeps being stuck with "Waiting for GPS".
Restarting the phone didn't help.
Does anyone have a solution to my problems? :crying:
Many thanks in advance
Solution:
After restarting my G6 about 3 to 4 times and disabling Call and Contact Access in the Bluetooth device settings and then restarting everything works fine now. (including GPS)
Update:
The problem is back again
Somewhat new solution:
By enabling the developer options my "Bluetooth AVRCP Version" was set to AVRCP 1.5, which isn't the default...
So by changing it to AVRCP 1.4 Bluetooth works fine now...
VS988 here: Everything seems mostly okay, except for the constant bluetooth crashes. Anybody else seeing that? Also, FWIW, not enjoying the system notifications. Trying to figure out how to turn those off.
Usual first fix after a major update is factory reset, did you try that yet?

That would be my next move if the problem still persisted.

No, that is such a time-consuming PITA that I always wait until I have no other option. Thanks, though.

I'm H870 EU user, no problems so far after oreo update (without factory reset), BT pairing works as it should...
GPS and navigation also works without bugs.
Just do a factory reset
I had frequent bluetooth crash notifications on nougat. On oreo bluetooth will not connect a2dp/avrcp beyond first pairing with my Pioneer car stereo ..still works fine on bt headsets that dont pull phonebook including my old basic sony car stereo.

If you're talking about persistant battery notification hold on it from notification panel..unfortunately it's all or none. Wish Google had the foresight to allow disable on a per app basis, but you know how wishes go...
I'm having the same problems with bluetooth. My headphones can connect, however after about 3 seconds they automatically disconnect for audio (though they somehow still connect to the phone, just not on audio).
My car still connects and works, however it does sound now like I am listening to a scratched CD (whereas both were working absolutely fine before the update). Haven't found anyone with a solution so far.
Verizon G6 VS988 here.
To respond to a couple of the suggestions here, I did a factory reset first because of bluetooth and battery problems. That didn't fix the problems. I just changed to AVRCP 1.4 Bluetooth and hopefully that fix works for bluetooth. I also have a Ford with Sync.
Something new ive noticed is if i place a call it puts up the audio output notification and everything works as normal. Having reset my phone and car both i can only say LG missed out on my next phone purchase even when running low on phone options.
How do u change to that ? Is it on the phone device settings cant seem to find out how
GPS problem in G6 is a common issue. No solutions so far.
Bluetooth wont work with any device I've tried it with. Many restarts, unpairing, turning on/off bluetooth. Nothing works, need this fixed.
Just adding another testimony of the issue.
T-Mobile
I really hate to say this, but I really cannot recommend LG to anyone anymore after all the issues I've got with my phone...
Another question:
I have 2 NFC payment apps installed.
I'm now on version V20c-EUR-XX and since the upgrade I cannot change my default payment app, so when I'm in the store it always tries to pay with app 2 instead of app 1, even when app 1 is on the screen with the card I want to use...
This really frustrates me, because app 2 doesn't always work in stores (but is my preferred app)...

Is that issue because it's an LG phone? Or does it happen because of that version of Android?
One of my friends is using a Galaxy S8+ and he is running Android 8 (same as mine).
I just cannot think of any reason why they removed this feature...
(So it is a issue with my LG H870)
I searched but couldn't find much about it. When i received my PX5 Xtron unit, Ok Google would dial and call people, however the past few days it will no longer call someone.
It will load the Google as if it's going to call them, but it doesn't then open the bluetooth dialler and proceed.
Any fix?
OK Google has never called anyone for me, unless I used Mtcdialer? Perhaps OEM's have started putting that on their devices? Wouldn't surprise me.

Hmmmm, i did have 'ok google' switched on my phone, so unless it was allowing call actions through that whilst my phone was locked and then bluetoothing the call through. Coincidently, i switched ok google off on my mobile and it would be the same time that it appeared to not work on the head unit.
I'm not sure what's wrong, but my Xtrons headhunit responded to "OK google" sometimes intermittently and my phone is an iPhone so it probably wasn't because of your phone (unless you never properly got it work on you headhunt at all).
To get voice activation turned on I installed the "google assistant" app, but I suspect it does not reopen after a reboot causing the issue of only working sometimes. Also, if you open the bluetooth app on the headhunit it can take over the audio from the rest of the system. It's kind of confusing, so I'm not sure where the issue is.

It responds to 'OK Google', the issue is that it won't dial phone numbers anymore through it. If yours is intermittent, ensure that any music/ audio is turned down, as it won't pick it up on the mic.

I bought about 9 months ago, directly from Seicane a radio of 9 "android 8 PX5 for a Subaru Forester, the integration and the connectors are excellent but the radio had problems with the bluetooth handled by google and when connecting the cell phone via usb Easyconected, it did not recognize the cell phone, I asked for support but the solution from them was simple, and it was still the same, at the end I found a firmware of Hal9k, I installed to the radio and with this all these problems were solved, the link is "https: //forum.xda -developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-software-development/rom-hal9k-rom-3-mtcd-e-head-units-t3847477 ", check for your problem
Thank you for answer, i try to install this mod when i have a bit time, sure this work on atoto chipset?
Looking for a modified MTCDialer of my version too
