Hello everyone,
I tried to find a solution for the past several hours and I couldn't find anything to help me fix the problem.
So the problem is that I cannot connect to paired devices through bluetooth. I use a Nexus 4 with stock kitkat 4.4.4.
The pairing is successful, but no profiles are added and that's probably the reason I cannot connect. I tried two laptops (windows 8.1 and 7) with up-to-date drivers and I can't seem to get it working. I tried file transfer and Music and audio but it tells me that the pc can't connect to the phone.
I tried switching bluetooth on and off multiple times, tried to switch wi-fi and mobile data off, I also tried to make the pair again in safe mode. None of these actions worked and I was wondering if any of you can help me with this problem. I am aware that there are lots of issues with bluetooth around, but I couldn't find any threads pointing to profile problems.

Hi,
Firstly I'll explain my problem. I use bluetooth to connect to my car's audio system. However, I find that once the device goes in to its "powersaving mode" the device looses its bluetooth connection every minute or so and then immediately reconnects. I have found that if I ensure that it doesnt enter powersaving mode eg. by disabling it in the power settings then it doesnt loose its connection. On older ROMs I never had this problem and the device remained connected to the car stereo all the time. I have read that other people have had this problem with various ROMs too. By a process of elimination i think it has something to do with ausdim's XIP. As the ROMs ive used without this mod have worked flawlessly. Does anyone have a solution for this, or know of any modern ROMs that dont have this issue?
Many thanks,
densil
Hi Guys, I have just moved from the iphone to the HD2 and am having teething problems and therefore might be asking your assitance on several issues. My first question is that when trying to connect my device to my PC or laptop via bluetooth I get a message saying that the pc/laptop cannot find the bluetooth peripheral device. I therefore cannot sync via bluetooth. Windows7 gives a few suggestions but none work. Is there a fix for this?
Well,, when I upgraded to Win 7 I ran into several BT issues. My PC could not find any of my BT devices. After several days I finally found that the Bluetooth Service and Bluetooth Support Service were both set to "Manual" I set both to "Automatic" and have not had any problems since. Check these. Hope it helps.
Hi,
I have a HTC Desire Z (rooted with CM7.1-RC1). Recently after updating the ROM I had some issues connecting it with my car bluetooth. But after a few hits and misses I had been able to get the bluetooth connected with almost anything I want. So I have it working fine with my car, laptop etc. But the problem exists in my desktop.
The phone is paired but shows up as "paired but not connected" and in the devices and printers menu, I see HTC Vision (name of my phone for bluetooth detection) but its grey. Meaning perhaps the full drivers have not been installed. I remember that when I connected it to my laptop, it installed the HTC drivers after I had full control of my phone, files, music etc. But in Desktop it didn't do any such thing.
Although I am able to send and receive files. I would like to do more, such as streaming music and getting calls through my speakers rather which I am able to do on my laptop.
One last bit of info, my desktop uses Windows 7 x64 whereas Laptop runs on Windows 7 x86.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Both were set to discoverable. They are paired, but never connected. As I pointed out before as well, Windows don't seem to recognize the drivers for HTC and doesn't treat it like a phone. Whereas on the other laptop the phone works perfectly fine.
Any suggestions guys?
I'm having the same problems on Desire S and stable CM 7.1. Sending of files to nokia e52 works, but to win7 or mac doesn't. Pairing with parrot ck3100 is successful, but doesn't connect nor sync contacts.
Did you solve it finally?
Did you install htc sync?
No HTC Sense
nah I haven't installed HTC Sense but that's because I don't need it. Windows automatically finds and installs the drivers on the laptop on which everything through Bluetooth is working. But on the desktop where I use the Bluetooth dongle, it doesn't seem to work. The only thing I am able to do is transfer files, but no streaming music or answering phone.
Also I am using MIUI ROM so HTC Sense would have nothing to do with it.
Have the same problem here with HTC Desire Z and CM 7.2.0 (stable), tried original radio version and 26.13.04.19.
Symptoms are (CM 7.2.0 / 26.13.04.19):
* Bluetooth devices find each other
* pairing is initiated
* the phones services aren't detected correctly, drivers aren't installed after pairing
* when trying to enable services (e.g. "Audio Source" or "Object Push (Obex)") I get a "wrong parameter"-error box
* phone symbol of the Bluetooth device in the device list is "grayed out"
* When manually connecting, the connection is "aborted" some 1-2 seconds later
Additionally:
* Phone doesn't work with car hands free
* When downgrading radio to original revision and putting a stock ROM on it... bluetooth works, but wifi does not.
It's possibly a matter of the correct "radio version" but I've no clue, which one should be working...

Problem solved for me!!!
I just didn't read the complete instructions about how to update the radio!
It's not just installing the radio, but also wiping cache + dalvik cache AND updating the rils+.so files within the ROM!
And last but not least wiping the EFS partition...
I just did not continue after "Once you are running the .19 radio [...]", because I thought it as instructions for people who do an update from the priorly -wrong- version without RCDATA.
Full instruction are found here:

Dear forum,
really looking for some help with the bluetooth connection and/or some pointers into the right direction.
Before anyone asks, yes I have searched the forum(s) and googled days in a row, tried several builds and found a lot of bluetooth questions/issues but not this specific issue nor a solution.
Have a S4 i9505 which has a perfect bluetooth connection with my Renault Carminat system using the stock rom. As I had other issues with the stock rom, I rooted and upgraded the phone to Optimized LineageOS 14.1 (7.1.2). When pairing the phone to the car, it all works fine (it doesn't disconnect - which is a commonly reported issue). media streaming works fine, the car audio system also responds to the phone (and vice versa), contacts are imported etc. The big issue is however that there is no sound (nor receiving nor sending) when a call is received and/or intitiated.
In my quest to resolve this issue I let the dealer upgrade the firmware of the car audio system, tried with at least two different (but similar) S4 i9505 phones on custom roms, tried several other custom builds (from CM12 to CM14), tried an older but also the latest modem/BL for my region (XXSPQA1), tried some nightly builds but in all cases the exact same issue remains. Only when I go back to the stock rom, I have again a perfect bluetooth connection. A S5 (with stock Android 6) can connect to my system without issues as well.
So my thoughts are that the issue lies within custom roms as even a custom rom based on the same Android version as stock rom doesn't work properly.
Any thoughts what I can do more? Is it possible to copy the BT files from the stock rom and copy it to the custom rom? Any ideas? If it can help to post certain logs I will absolutely do so. Phone is on stock rom again now.
Thank you for your support!
I have exactly the same issue on my I9505, every time i connect to bluetooth (previous car, new car bluetooth speaker calling seems to work , but ther is no sound (only the end of call beep. and also, after disabling bluetooth, the sound is still not working ... i have to reboot my mobile to be able to call again. i hope this issue can be resolved
( when connecting to a bluetooth device for playing media blutooth works )
Same here. I hear a distortion sound when a call is made though. Worked fine with 5.X and broken in 8.0 and 8.1. I tried various modems as well. I even changed codecs in the developer options and didn't find one that worked. i9505
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.
