NEXUS 4,ANDROID 4.4 16S & 16O,Plantronics savor M1100 bluetooth headset or jabra bluetooth headset.Often disconnected during a call.Very high frequency,But 4.3 have not problem.What is the problem?
Find a temporary solution, as long as open WIFI, Bluetooth will be disconnected, closed WIFI, Bluetooth never broken! Currently only so used!
Final, to find a solution, just need to turn off WIFI 5G. Settings - WIFI - Advanced - Wi-Fi frequency band - 2.4GHz only ,ALL OK
Please don't use such a large text size, it's kinda annoying.
I will second you on the Bluetooth issue. I've noticed it with my car, where I usually spend some time on a call or two. It seems intermittent for me, usually starting after about 1 minute and then randomly disconnecting. Either the phone or the car BT will then reconnect, but it'll disconnect again within one to two minutes. Music streaming isn't affected by dropouts, but I have noticed some minor issues with it, such as stuttering.

I also have the same issue after 4.4 install. Using Nexus 4. I have contacted google, and as expected they can't help!
Sound is very crackly when making calls from my car.. :crying:
Well, let's see if we can't collectively determine what the problem is and at the least submit a good bug report to Google. The first thing I'm going to do is try to reproduce the issue with a standard bluetooth headset. If the problems happens there, I'll then run adb logcat and see if I can grab a log of any error messages.
I encourage anyone else having this problem to do the same and report back on this topic.
Also, to see if it's isolated to specific cars or something, I experience the issue with a 2011 Mazda 3. What is everyone else using?

Also, to get some extra data, please indicate if you upgraded via official OTA, factory image, or some other method. Also, please say if you did a factory reset or if you did not.
In my case, I saw this using the old 16O factory image (no reset) and also with the 16S OTA from 66Y (4.3), no reset again.
Also worth noting if you have WiFi on and if it's pulling data at the same time...

In the car I don't get any problems with quality and/or stuttering, but the BT volume control doesn't seem to work
Also, the 'volume' sent to my car is very low, causing me to control the volume by the car (and putting it very loud)
I didn't try it with a call yet, just music, I'm going to try a call when I get the chance
Here, I'm using the factory image KRT16O, did a clean flash, and the car is a 2013 ford focus
I had the same problem on 4.4 ROMs that don't have the proper Nexus 4 libraries. I switched ROMs, and my problem is gone.

Volume seems to still be independent between the headset and the phone. When in a call, use the phone volume keys to raise the volume to near max (I usually put it two presses down from max) and use the car/headset volume to further adjust as needed. Same way with music.

That would be a good option except some people will actually want to be on stock. I would hope Google has the proper libraries for the stock KRT16S factory images and OTA files.

Yes, thats how it is supposed to work, but I actually can't control the volume at the device at all
Leaving it in the max or the minimum sends the same volume to the car, and its very low

I am using TMo OTA image on a Nexus 4. Was rock solid on car connection (Nissan Leaf) until 4.4. My wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 is not on 4.4 and still works great. Problem for me is exactly as described earlier, 1-2 minutes connected then intermittently cutting out so bad it is unusable as a bluetooth connection. Show stopper.
Tested today using a Morotola Elite Flip BT headset and also with my car (while hooked up and logging via adb) while in the garage. I could not reproduce the issue after over 10 minutes of talk. We'll see how it does on an actual drive tomorrow.

Yep, that's what I was seeing. Hopefully someone will be able to get to the bottom of this. If you don't mind taking a laptop into your car, try using it while stationary and grabbing the log output from adb. If the issue occurs, there might be something in the log that can help diagnose the problem.

I think I'm seeing more problems when using Bluetooth at the same time as WiFi is pulling data on it's 2.4Ghz setting (same band as Bluetooth). Can those with Bluetooth issues confirm they persist with WiFi disabled?
same intermittent bluetooth dropout
I wiped my phone before installing 4.4 factory image (16S).
I'm seeing phone bluetooth connection with car drop and reconnect about every 2 to 3 min. while in call. No problem with bluetooth media streaming.

Same problem here. Never had it on 4.3. Currently solved it by using old (from 4.3) bootloader and 0.84 radio.
Took this tip from other thread on XDA.
I also disable wifi when on call (using tasker) - but this along do not solve the disconnect/connect issue. However, this will fix the
call interference in the first 5-10 sec of the call.
Can somehow bootloader and/or radio affect this issue ?
BTW, on 4.4 I finally have stable 5 GHz WiFi connection. So Google definetly fixed something in WiFi code which can now create an issue with the Bluetooth.
Nexus 4 - 4.4
I also experience the stutter when listening to bluetooth headphones, only since the update, 4.3 worked beautifully. It stutters any time I unlock the phone or lock it, very annoying. I'm using Bludio R's, although from what I've read most people are experiencing it regardless of BT type.
Edit: For anyone else experiencing the stuttering; I found a link on the google support where someone else had this issue. Someone mentioned it went away if you turn the screen lock sound off. Haven't had a chance to test as I have no BT headsets in the office, but thought I'd share.

For a number of reasons, I'm thinking of rooting my Droid R2D2 and installing CM7.2. Given that I'm on 2.3.4 and the hoops required to root it, I would love it if someone could verify that the following features all work on their Droid2 or R2D2 with CM7.2. I haven't been able to find a consolidated list of what does or doesn't work on this particular phone. I'll update this post with reported statuses as people respond for others to use as a reference.
Comments in blue are consolidated feedback from others. Comments in green are my own experiences after taking the plunge.
Phone calls: Yes Confirmed
3G Data: Yes Confirmed
WiFi: Intermittent. Sometimes people have to reboot every time you toggle, but not everyone has this issue I've noticed sometimes when on WiFi I lose all data connectivity. Disabling WiFi sometimes fixes it, but not always. Rebooting seems to do the trick every time though.
GPS: Yes Confirmed
Phone-over-Bluetooth: Yes Confirmed
Stream Audio over Bluetooth: Yes, possible lag entering menus/rotating screen/unlocking due to using power amp Pandora works fine for me
Still Camera: Yes Confirmed
Video Camera: Yes Confirmed
Physical Keyboard: Every key except 'ALT LOCK' Confirmed
Motorola Desktop Dock detection/integration: Yes, though it doesn't seem to remember that I've hit the brightness/dim button between inserts as it used to when on stock.
Motorola Car Dock detection/integration: Yes
SMS/MMS (I use Google Voice for most of my SMS needs, but for sake of completeness):Yes SMS - yes. MMS - haven't tested.
In addition, if you could address the following, that would be great: One of the reasons I want to get rid of the installed firmware is because of a strange problem I have when I stream audio over bluetooth to my car. The problem is: when I'm streaming audio, and only when I'm streaming audio, if I use my car's steering-mounted controls to initiate a phone call, it seems to sever the bluetooth connection with the phone. I have to manually re-connect the car to the phone (not re-pair, just re-connect). When I'm not streaming audio, using the steering wheel-mounted controls don't cause the sever to occur. I use both Pandora and iHeartRadio, and have seen the same problem in both apps. Using the iOS version of the same apps on my work-issued iPhone don't have the problem, so I don't think it is an problem inherent with my car, I think it is an issue with the Android installation. If switching to CM7.2 suffers this same problem as the official 2.3.4, it wouldn't be worth the effort to me to switch. But if it DOES fix the problem ... I might be more forgiving if everything in the above list doesn't work fully. I still suffer the same problem.
Thanks in advance!
Other things I've noticed:
Airplane Mode: I've noticed that trying to trigger Airplane Mode doesn't seem to work properly. When I attempt to trigger it, nothing appears to happen. If I then reboot the phone, I see the airplane icon in the status bar, data doesn't work (as one would expect when in Airplane Mode), but the Bluetooth icon is visible, as if Bluetooth were still turned on. Attempting to turn off Airplane Mode also requires a reboot.
Lock Screen: Initially, changing the settings for the lock screen worked just fine. Now, for some reason, the settings don't seem to "stick" ... I set them, but they have no effect. But, if I then reboot, the settings that I tried to set take effect. So they are being persisted somewhere, somehow ...Airplane Mode and Lock Screen: Originally I noticed the two above items. I just did a factory reset of the phone (Settings --> Privacy --> Factory data reset), and the problems went away. Airplane Mode seems to work properly, and the Lock Screen settings update as expected, just like when I first installed CM. I didn't do all that much previously, so I can't imagine what broke these the first time, but if I happen to recreate the problem and isolate the cause I'll mention it here.
ADW Launcher: When Cyanogenmod first booted up, I couldn't add, move, or remove anything from the default home screens by long-pressing. The haptic would trigger, so I know it was recognizing the presses. By going through the ADW settings and choosing simply to restart ADW, everything started working fine.
Lock Screen: I love the flexibility and customization it allows. At first though, I thought it wasn't showing the time/date of the next upcoming alarm. Then I realized that by disabling the "show next calendar event" feature, it would show up in the same place that the calendar event was otherwise appearing in.
It's fast!: The phone feels MUCH more responsive than when I was on stock.
Phone calls: Yes
3G Data: Yes
WiFi: Intermittent. I have to reboot every time you toggle, but not everyone has this issue.
GPS: Yes
Phone-over-Bluetooth: Yes
Stream Audio over Bluetooth: Never tried
Still Camera: Yes
Video Camera: Yes
Physical Keyboard: Every key except 'ALT LOCK'
Motorola Media Dock detection/integration: Never tried
Motorola Car Dock detection/integration: Never tried
SMS/MMS (I use Google Voice for most of my SMS needs, but for sake of completeness): Yes. I use both also

Does it do this with your standard music app while playing music off your SD card?
Your logic seems sound enough, but you assume Android is a perfect OS. It might just be the way Pandora and iHeartRadio are designed to handle that situation in the Android operating environment and it might just be a bug across 2.3.4. My suggestion to you would be to try these same exact things with a couple DIFFERENT Android phones (a friend's, the wife's, etc.) to see if that's just how it plays out within the Android OS. Worst case scenario, that's just a problem with the apps themselves and you write an email to them asking for an update with a solution.

Sadly, everyone that I know is an iPhone fanboy. I'm the only one with an Android-based phone!
I'm also aware that the ROM has baked-in support for Motorola's media and car docks, though I don't own one to tell you how well it works. I assume its the same code, just stolen from source, and I've NEVER seen anyone complaining about it on Gingerbread. Maybe head over to the Droid 2 Accessories part of the forum and see if there are any complaints.

Per your advice, I ran a couple of more tests, and found the following. In addition to severing the bluetooth connection when streaming audio from Pandora or iHeartRadio and using the steering wheel-mounted controls to initiate a phone call, the bluetooth connection also gets severed in the same manner when streaming sound from YouTube.
Interestingly, it does NOT sever the connection when streaming audio from the local media player or through Play Music when streaming over 3G. However, even in this circumstance, if I hit the steering wheel "Mode" button to switch to AM/FM, it severs the bluetooth connection. If I recall from past tests, this also would also sever Pandora/iHeartRadio, though I didn't repeat that this morning.
So ... it's not just Pandora or iHeartRadio, but some of Google's own software, though sometimes only when switching radio modes and not always when placing a call.
Is anyone out there running CM7.2 connected to a car and able to verify whether the same problems plague CM7.2 as stock 2.3.4?

it's not that difficult, just need a decent pc
download iso file (50mb),
mount image to cd, dvd, or usb drive
reboot pc to drive
run program, read onscreen instructions, takes about 10 mins or less
wipe cache, reboot
done your rooted
just know how to boot to bootloader and recovery, read http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/Welcome
written for d2G, but same steps
Stream Audio over Bluetooth: Yes, possible lag (music pausing/skipping for a split second ) entering menus/rotating screen/unlocking but maybe because I am using power amp or the kernel that I am using
Dock: There is a dock menu in settings that looks to be specific to this phone (as in I have not seen it on other cm7.2 phones) so it may work
Edit: FYI I had a fun (hard) time getting from stock (froyo) to CM7.2. I had to flash the stock (gingerbread) before I could get to 7.2 (Someone here provided me the file to flash which I may be able to dig up)
Well, I hooped myself crazy, am rooted and on 2.3.4 - and the CM7.2 install script still honks that I'm not on the right version.
Anyone else seen this one?
(I realize I'm a little late to the game - I just got a D2 off of craigslist...)

You may need to tweak the Cyanogenmod installer. See the following post for instructions on how to fix. Copying/pasting the instructions here for reference. This worked for me. I ran CM7.2 for quite a while, but eventually got rid of it due to my R2D2 having WiFi issues under CM7.2 (it would sometimes stop having internet connectivity over WiFi, and the only way to fix the issue was to reboot).

GregMoens said:
Look like you're failing the check_kernel script. This was put in place to prevent someone with a Froyo based kernel from flashing a CM version that required the Gingerbread kernel. If you open up the cm-7.2.0-droid2.zip file and look at /system/etc/check_kernel, you'll see that the required kernel version is 2.6.32.9-gca08d89, which matches my Droid2 exactly. I'm assuming your version does not match. That 2.3.4 update must have bumped the kernel version. This new kernel may or may not work with CM7.2.
Couple options I can think of. You could change the required version in the check_kernel script. Or you can blank out that entire file and replace it with:
#!/sbin/sh
exit 0
You could also edit the main update script found under /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and delete this line:
assert(run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") == 0);
Just make any of those changes, repackage the zip file, and try flashing that. You could very well get stuck in a bootloop due to the new kernel being incompatible and you may have to SBF back to rooted 2.3.4 and live with that for now. Good luck!

Does anyone have this same problem? I already did factory reset for about 6 times. wipe cache and dalvik but still, the issues are still there. the wifi keeps on dropping and so slow compared to 4.2.2. sometimes it stuck downloading on play store, and takes too long to load on email. The wifi bar is full and blue, so I don't know why this happens. The bluetooth also does not work with my n7000. Whether sending or receiving files. It just shows error. I'm on stock 4.3 with root. Issues are there with or without apps installed. Can anyone help? Thank you! I'm also wondering if other nexus 10 users have this problem since I read some don't. I'm really frustrated with Google, I waited 8 months for Google to fix surfaceflinger and now WiFi and Bluetooth do not work like it used to. I'm never satisfied with this device, I wish I hadn't bought their product. A waste of money and time!
I don't know if this is double post, if so please tell so I can delete.
Im having wifi issues. I will connect at 130mb for like a min and then it drops to 24 and stays there. It will also go from showing full bars and barely load anything and then drop to 1 or 2. I take my wifes nexus 7 and she has no issues with it. I keep doing searches every day to see if more people are having this problem. Im using a asus rtac66n router which im only a couple feet away from
Same exact problem on galaxy nexus with 4.3. Problem from earlier android version is back!
Try changing the channel bandwidth from default 20/40MHz to 20 MHz only.
After trying for a week, it seems like custom rom (vanilla rootbox) fixed both of my issue. Both wifi and bluetooth now work. And my wifi is now fast just like in 4.2.2. However, surfaceflinger seems not fully fix yet. I still experience ram issues like apps keep on restarting until I need to reboot to clear ram. Anyway, it's still worth a try. I would recommend you to try vanillla rootbox maybe it could help you!

Ok, I'll try that. Is the theory here that bluetooth interferes with the wider band?
Hey guys,
this new android related issue where streaming music via bluetooth is a pain in the ass, as there are only two volume levels (absolutely loud and the opposite) is really annoying.
Is there any statement from google, if and when it'll be fixed or is there even a fix already?
I cannot imagine how sth like this got into a final release...

is a common issue with 6.0.1 and several bluetooth devices (i have a creative roar box), just search the forums here.

I'm having a ton of bluetooth issues with this phone sad as I *love* this phone..
But I listen to podcasts daily (while biking/running./in the car) and it keeps cutting out on me.. like 2-3 times/minute.. that's using the bluetooth in-car, as well as two different bluetooth headsets
BTW phone calls are fine - this is just A2DP bluetooth stereo..
on 6.0.1 stock (rooted)
-mark
Edit - seems worse when I'm near my wifi router; although still having issues w/ wifi off..
I had some issues with bluetooth audio cutting out after the phone had been sitting for a while. I added the media apps (music, youtube) to the not optimized list under battery settings and now it works fine.
stream every day from google music app to my vw golfs system via bluetooth and never cut out once or had any issues. Im stock non rooted 6.0.1

No joy. I did your suggestion in conjunction with a few others and I'm still getting audio hits. Did the following to no avail:
- Uninstalled an app called "gasbuddy" which has been reportedly giving users issues with BT
- Messed with a few settings in Developer Options
- Cleared Cache
Did those listed above plus your suggestion and it still doesn't work properly. The only thing that is (albeit moderately) reliable is to completely unpair, forget device, repair, and update permissions. How frustrating every time I get in the car. Additionally, I've been getting SERIOUS BT phone problems. The caller on the line cannot hear me nearly at all. It's not my car's BT unit either, as I've troubleshooted with other phones. I have to switch to handset speakerphone. I feel like I'm in the 90s again. I'm massively bummed out since I spend a lengthy portion of time in my morning/evening commutes. BT is the one thing I can't do without. What a drag.

Does it work with other Bluetooth devices, or do you have other phones to test in your car? Might be an issue with the car or even something google/hauwei can fix under warranty.

I was having the same issue, both with BT headphones, BT speaker, and my Android Wear watch. I tried factory resets on both phone and watch, and forgetting all BT connections and re-pairing to no avail. I Factory reset my phone again, and didn't add my Amber Weather Widget back to my home screen and all was well. As soon as I added it...Bt went to hell again. Deleted the app and now I'm having no problems. Not sure why a weather app would cause BT to act up, but it sure did in my case.
Uuuh. This is ultra frustrating. Using my smartphone for business and private stuff, so it has to re reliable. Hearing music is a pain in the ass, really. Doesn´t matter if I connect it to my Bose Soundlink Mini, my Philips NFC/Bluetooth Dongle...interruptions all over the place.
BTW: I don´t have any weather widget installed, so I have absolutely no clue what to try next. Delete all paired devices is a no go, really.
PS: And it´s not only interruptions - music kind of gains speed after those interruptions.

Additionally, I've been getting SERIOUS BT phone problems. The caller on the line cannot hear me nearly at all. It's not my car's BT unit either, as I've troubleshooted with other phones. I have to switch to handset speakerphone. I feel like I'm in the 90s again. I'm massively bummed out since I spend a lengthy portion of time in my morning/evening commutes. BT is the one thing I can't do without. What a drag.

Yep,I have the same exact issue with phone calls, the caller cannot hear me at all and I switch to speaker. This is my second phone and they both did the same thing, connects, fine for a few seconds, then gets muted or something and have to switch to speaker. My notes never did this and it's super making me mad! I'm going to call google and try to return this phone. It's BT totally broken.
I might be giving up on the phone very soon. I'm bummed. I really dig it, but BT is such a HUGE part of my life at this point that it's impossible for me to own a phone that falters in that respect. Ugh. How disappointing.
I even signed up for the new Android N beta testing, hoping that would remedy the situation. Nope.
Hey guys,
I installed the OpenBeta 1 on my OP5, and it seems I have bluetooth connection issues with my car. It keeps connecting, then disconnecting all the time... I tried deleting the sync, resyncing everything but still the same issue.
Anyone else? I'm using Blu spark kernel (I'll have to try it with stock kernel) and stock OOS, clean flash.
Thanks!
Same here with open and leaked betas. It may work for half an hour or just a few minutes. Pretty annoying, but it's the only issues I'm facing with the betas.

Stock
Open beta 1 here, everything stock, no problem at all with all my BT devices (car, speaker, watch...)
I haven't had any issues on Open Beta 1 either, use the BT in my car on a daily basis for at least an hour at a time.
On Open Beta 1 the sound via Bluetooth connected to speaker is very quiet compared to stable 4.5 ... also, I tried all available codecs with no difference.
Anyone else is experiencing this, too?
Same with leaked beta 3. I'm already in contact with OnePlus bughunters and sending them logs....

I made some testing, and it appears that when the phone is connected without telephone and notifications, music is played correctly without any issues. However when connecting the phone and notification (through the Bluetooth settings), it stops the music and phone keeps connecting and disconnecting.
I'll have to try with the Ok Google disabled through headset.
Did you guys test with telephone and notification on through car? Strange that some have issues and others don't...

Tested without updating on Oreo, still the same issue. Anyone on Oreo?

My problem with Bluetooth on Oreo is that everytime I connect to a device it resets the media volume to like 25%. Having to turn it up to 100% every time I want to use a Bluetooth device is really ridiculous.

Yup me too, did you try the leaked version 3? BTW do you guys connect using phone and notifications too? To see if it bugs on your end as well.

Bluetooth issues after Beta 1 update
Hi there,
I have issues with my OP5 since I updated to Oreo Beta 1.
Randomly Bluetooth audio cuts several times during 1 or 2 minutes (sometimes more) so music is awful. Impossible to hear...
I only have this issue since I updated to the beta, so please solve this for the official release.
I use Bluetooth music play in my car (Toyota Auris 2011), with headphone (Sony MDR-ZX770BN), Speaker (Harman Kardon HK OMNI 10), and I have the same issue on all of them.
One question, is it possible to perform a rollback to stock ROM? All my attempts were unsuccessful... Invalid zip archive...
Please help!!!
hopefully these issues have been fixed in Open Beta 2: http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_openbeta_2/ ("Improvements for Bluetooth audio") ... I'm gonna check this out tonight.

OK thanks for your help. On my side I don't have issues with audio playback on Bluetooth in car or using Bose, however call issues with my car (and no issues with my gear S3, which is strange...).
Could you test the call in your car please? I'm on LB4 (leaked beta)

I get this too. Also, sometimes on Bluetooth, the song skips a second or two every second when playing music ..

Crap... And still issues when calling?
Sent from my OnePlus5 using XDA Labs
The Bluetooth connectivity is so messed up with this update that the phone is not usable with a Bluetooth headset (and its the only way how I take calls). I dont get this: I hoped that they improved the WiFi 5Ghz problem and video stutter issue ( I didnt checked the first one) with the update, but they messed up one of the essential functions of the phone. The problem is: the phone is 1000 Euro and after every update it has at least one MAJOR ISSUE. I couldnt use it normally for a single day for a 1000 Euro phone. And I wanted to give it a chance. This is getting rediculous.
Anyone having this problem?
When they dont fix it quickly, I am returning the phone for good.

If you're just going to threaten to return the phone Everytime there is a bug your in the wrong place. Just return it and stop your moaning.

Well you are right about complaining regarding returning the phone, but I think you are not seeing the problem here. When we get to the point, its not A bug, these are major issues impacting the daily usage of the phone and one of them is always there: Bluetooth connectivity, WiFi 5GHz constantly disconnecting, video recording stutter etc. Its about reliability of the device. And I am hoping that they can be fixed, especially the issue with Bluetooth connectivity.

have you try to factory reset don't restore anything just re-download your stuff and see if everything works. I bought two of them one for me and one for my wife my wife's was acting up I dumped the phone twice and wallah everything's been working fine since.
The issues with her phone was 1 it wouldn't connect to the computer but one time and it only lasted 30 seconds. The on-the-go wasn't working properly either I couldn't even connect a thumb drive to it for it to read it. it wouldn't download anything over data or Wi-Fi it was fully activated on Verizon but still would not work. fingerprint sensor would only let us register one finger on it. So I dumped the phone the first time and I restored all her stuff all the issues came back with the restore after I dumped it after that I didn't restore anything other than her call log and her text log and everything has been working flawless since her phone is now bootloader unlocked TWRP recovery installed and magisk rooted.

If it is really a problem everyone must encounter the same issues, for me Bluetooth working perfectly the stuttering is gone and the WiFi performs on my device good from day 1.

Well, the bluetooth connectivity manifests by making calls through the bluetooth headset (music is fine): I hear everthing, but i cant be heard fine. My voice is distorted or changed with occasional connection lost. Sometimes it works fine. I wouldnt have noticed it, when I wasnt told, that I can be barely heard.

I don't doubt the fact that what you experience is the truth for you but I have a bleutooth headset as well I don't have those issues and bleutooth performs even better for me with the last update.
My suggestion is make a ticket on the OnePlus website about it
