My phone connected via bluetooth to my car no problems until yesterday. All of a sudden it stopped working, i noticed no other changes, so i proceeded to try to pair both from my phone end and the car, still wasnt working so i unpaired and removed the device from my car and phone and tried to repair, the car (2012 sonata) tells me to pair from the phone, and on the phone it cannot find the bluetooth of the car.
I was freaking out and thought it was the car, but i tried my tablet and laptop, andboth are able to pick them up, ive tried turning bluetooth on/off and restarting the entire phone,
Has anyone else experienced their bluetooth going out on the s5 yet?
and what do you think would help? factory reset, or manufacturers return for hardware error?

Have you tried pairing your phone with other devices than car? At least, it will confirm that your phone Bluetooth is working fine.

I've been experiencing some issues with my bluetooth in cars and with wireless headsets. it has annoyed me enough to search the forums today.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with MS530 wireless headset.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with 2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with 2011 Volvo S60 T6.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with Aftermarket Sony deck in my truck (don't have the model handy).
Built in player sometimes has the same issues, I see more issues when the phone is locked. Fingerprint scanner on.
Today bluetooth locked up totally and had to reboot the device. I did not power down my headset before I left range of my phone and came back and it would not re-connect. I unpaired and attempted to repair and it would not. rebooted powered everything off and repaired and it started working again.
Bluetooth has issues on the S5 phones in my opinion. My iphone 5 has no issues at all with everything. locked or not. Was thinking of rooting to see if I could fix some of these issues as I prefer Android as I like the apps better and the openness to get stuff done.

No, it's not a S5 issue, it's an Android issue and it's been continuous since the beginning. These problems have happened with my previous 3 phones too, so don't delude yourself into thinking these are specific to this phone. Or that they will be fixed for that matter...

I disagree.
Bluetooth has worked on all the android models I've had in the past.
Past Android phones:
HTC Hero - worked great, slow though
HTC EVO - worked great
LG Nexus 4 - worked great
Motorola Zoom - worked great
Samsung Moment - Slow but worked
Samsung Epic - worked great
Samsung S3 - worked great
But if you want to blame the OS go for it. I think your alone there. Its a software issue with Samsung crap in my opinion vs security and all the bells and whistles they are trying to use. I think Android has nothing to do with the issue at all.
I have a moto headset with my s5 and no problems. Had no problems with same one on my s4 either so I wouldn't blame all the phones. It's electronics. Things can go won key when you have a lot of parts. It's probably just that. It happens. Even on iPhone's.

I have problems too. Very odd tho. I can pair my phone and listen to my music just fine. However if I try to use my gps while the BT is connected, no audio will cone from the phone or the BT radio. But as soon as I turn off thr BT on my phone, I can hear my gps through my phone just fine.
I haven't done a factory reset yet, but I have cleared thr phone from my car and re-paired.....still nothing.
The even stranger thing....every one in a while it will work, 9 times out of 10 it won't work. It has worked 2 times since I bought the phone, April 25th.
Never had a problem like this before, with other phones.
meh

As I reply to this one person said they have no problems, one said they have problems. I have had the same issues with syncing and playback on my 2 previous phones, neither of them the S5. There are idiosyncrasies that exist in the software (like any software ever) that just don't work sometimes. I don't know why we should think this phone would be any different.
Anyone else on the newest 7.0 preview and unable to pair their bluetooth with their car?
Driving me nuts...hoping someone found a fix...

Right after the DP5 installation, I had to unpair the phone and car (2016 Mazda) because the phone would never connect. It was no where near as easy as that sounds, took me the better part of 30 minutes because of repeated "unknown errors" coming from the car.
The phone paired up just fine but I still have frequent and completely unexplained dropouts on literally every Bluetooth device I have (headphones, Moto 360, car and the list goes on). So far this has been the absolute worst of the previews for BT that I have ever seen.
But then, if you read around here, it sounds like there were a lot of these that had flaky BT hardware. Have not exchanged mine, but that has certainly been my experience since I bought this back in December.
I have no issues with Bluetooth and the latest DP. I have my phone connected to a Kenwood deck.

I wonder if I have flaky BT hardware? Mine was a launch phone and it has worked perfectly in my Toyota since day 1. However I've recently bought a fitbit type band and with that application (veryfit 2.0) installed and connected to the band then if I make a call in car it drops the BT after about 30 seconds with an error message on screen saying 'corrupted probe message'. I can manually reconnect the call (it's still active on the phone) but after another 30 seconds or so it repeats the cycle. Have upgraded to Nougat Dev Preview NPD90G but still the same. Removing the app and its binding (it binds in the app not the phones BT devices in settings) and rebooting the phone resolves the issue. Tried again with a proper fitbit and the issue is identical.
I will RMA it to see if I get another one that works. Now to figure out how to put it back to stock marshmallow. gulp.
I have the same issue pairing to my car's Bluetooth keep pairing failed

I had this same issue, I flashed the system file again and wiped the cache and dalvik. It seems to be ok now.
Check this solution. Pair with '0000' worked for me.

Since switching from my Nexus 5 with 6.0.1 to a Nexus 6P with 7.0 I am also suffering from bluetooth issues. Pairing itself is not a problem but the connection sometimes drops, controls in my car don't work properly, remaining track time is not shown, etc. Haven't even tried to make calls yet. If I can't find a solution I'll probably be going back to 6.0.1.
The proposed '0000' solution is not working for me as I cannot change the PIN on my Seat Leon (2016). The PIN is autogenerated and shown on both displays to be confirmed upon pairing.
Has anybody tried flashing the latest 6.0.1 radio image and use it with a 7.0 system?
Hi all,
Since upgrading to Android 7.x, I've had problems connecting my phone to other Bluetooth devices, particularly my car heading it for hands-free. The headunit in one car works fine, the other car keeps connecting and disconnecting after about 1-2seconds in a continual loop. Before 7.x it was connecting fine. Even now my phone makes the notification sound of connecting when I'm in that car even when I choose 'forget this device' on both hu and phone, only way to stop the notifications is to turn bt off.
I've googled and found it's quite a common issue, but yet to find a solution. I joined the beta program and update everytime but yet to fix it.
My question is, will this problem be fixed if I install a custom rom like PureNexus or is it a flaw in 7.x affecting every rom? If that is the case, is it possible to downgrade to 6.x? I really want to be able to connect to my hu with hands free again, it's been months now with no luck!

Hello,
Backup your data's and try to factory reset.
You can install a custom ROM, but I guess it doesn't fix drivers issues which are closed sources.
Otherwise you can downgrade to a 6.x stock firmware.
Option 1 and 3 needs you to unlock your bootloader. Backup important datas, unlocking bootloader wipe all datas!
Good luck...

I suggest you fully wipe your phone and install the May Google image (N2G47O). There was a major BT rework introduced with 7.1.2 that fixed an issue just as you describe. I went 5-6 months without being able to connect with one of my cars (2014 Cadillac). When the 7.1.2 beta came out I did a fresh install and it immediately fixed the problem. BT has worked flawlessly since.

You need a completely clean 7.1.2 install.
There is a setting somewhere (I don't know where) left over from previous OS version or app.
My phone was doing the exact same thing with my BMW, and only my BMW.
Clean install of 7.1.2 fixed the issue for me.
I wiped my 6P today hoping it would resolve my BT issues with my 2015 Toyota Highlander. No such luck, it still boots my Toyota in an endless loop until I disable the BT on the phone. The car works fine on my Samsung S3.
What is the process to do a Clean install of 7.1.2?
Since the previous two updates on my Verizon V20 were installed (VS99518A & VS99519A) running 7.0 , I have been having bluetooth issues where there are momentary pauses while connected to BT earphones and random "rustling" sounds when I am connected to my car stereo (A2DP). There are even times the bluetooth does not reconnect (have to manually select the paired device at the pop-up).
I have already performed a factory reset and it still happens. These issues do not occur on other android phones so it can't be my stereo and bt earphones' at fault.
Any ideas? What should I check?
Thanks.
I really wish I could help you. Ive been having the same issues. Please follow up if you figure it out and I will as well
Same here
The 7.0 update took a while to get to me but now that it has, I'm not impressed and wish I could revert.
Immediately after I started noticing the same issues as OP. In addition, I can no longer BT FTP send to my desktop but I can receive from the desktop.
I've tried quite a number of things to resolve but none have. Several soft resets, hard reset, network reset, factory reset, reset of desktop settings (although apparently not needed a SIM-less Galaxy S4 does NOT have issues with BT FTP to the same desktop....
Attempting to pair the two, the S4 can see the V20 but the V20 does not recognize the S4.
I believe it is 7.0 update related because all was fine prior and the issues were noticed just 20 minutes after.
Running my Mi A1 with stock ROM but having numerous bluetooth issues.
It will connect to my earphones without issue, and to my keyboard. However it will not connect to my Ford Fiesta, or to my Amazon Echo. Tested my oneplus 3 with these to confirm and they work fine, so its purely the Mi A1.
I have tried clearing bluetooth cache and forgetting the link.
Any other steps to resolve this?
Generally the devices never even connect at all, says connecting then gives up.
Update: ran the latest software update so I am now running 8.1, still not able to connect to 99% of the devices I try, says pairing then gives up. Any ideas?
I have some BT issues as well, this is my experience.
With Oreo 8.1 stable (updated OTA from 8.0) I was unable to pair further BT devices ("wrong PIN or passkey"),
although those paired previously (some from Nougat) still worked. Neither clearing BT cache and data or resetting
the network settings helped. I saved a couple of logcat logs during the unsuccessful attempts to pair a BT headphone and a BT speaker that worked earlier.
After a full factory reset BT pairing starts working again, although it seems that this happens only for a while,
then it may stop again, maybe I have some interfering app or whatever. I am not trying to delete some paired device
to check again.
This issue is still ongoing, tried more devices and same issues.
Another one I tried is connecting my phone to a bluetooth keyboard (Anne Pro). This works fine, however now the phone keeps popping up with "Please connect a keyboard".

Did you ever manage to isolate the cause of this? I still can't connect to devices

I have never had a problem but have read in several threads people say they have trouble pairing with Bluetooth while Wifi is turned on, not saying it will work but try turning off the Wifi and maybe data too and see if it helps, other have reported it does.
Done another factory reset, issue still persists. Have tried removing all Bluetooth devices, wifi, and mobile network off. Still unable to connect to a bunch of devices.
Tried a bunch of different things, but still can only connect bluetooth to my earphones, and sometimes Amazon Echo. Everything else will just say connecting and then stop.
