Bluetooth won't turn on - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Called tmobile for slow Internet. They had me restart my phone twice to flash the network settings. Now Bluetooth will not turn on. Tried everything, apps removed cache for Bluetooth files share, safe mode, cache deleted.
I'm going to wait for the new security patch for December to hit. Maybe that will fix this.
Black nexus 6p 128gb

I fixed it the problem I went to >settings>backup & reset>network settings reset>reset settings

Bluetooth won't turn on.
Yes, this is happening to me as well. My 6p stopping allowing me to turn on the bluethooth about 3 days ago now on 12-9-15. I hope it gets fixed soon!

Same end result from me after reseting the settings. Bluetooth will not fully enable and just flips back to off.

I got tired of no bluetooth, so I did a factory reset, which as many have mentioned before did fix it.

Android N wifi issue

Decided to install N a few days ago and test it out, everything was going fine but after returning home from work today my wifi will not reconnect. I've added the info for my wifi back in several times, the phone says the network info is saved, but it never connects or even appears in the list. Don't really feel like wiping again right now, so did anyone else run into this and manage to fix it? Any ideas? I've already tried all the usual stuff, but no luck.

Apologies if this is a silly response but is N official? I thought it was a beta? I'm assuming if that's the case then you'll get variable success with connectivity and functionality.
Do got have the most up to date vendor and is the kernel your using optimised correctly or should you expect issues!

Definitely not a bug. I have been using the preview since day one, and WiFi is working completely fine. Here's what you can try - wipe cache from recovery. And then if it still doesn't show up, you may try resetting your router settings.
I have faced such issue, but that would be subjected to all my devices connected to that specific router. Caused generally by lousy internet connectivity, or some router issues.
I had already tried doing both those things but the problem still persists. I guess I'll just have to try a factory reset or wait for the next update and see if it resolves itself.

The next update is near. In case you can't wait, factory/reset would be good option.
Went ahead and rolled back to MM and everything was working well, then I reinstalled N and wifi was again working without issue. I just returned home from an interview though and wifi will not detect my network again. SSID is still saved, but won't appear in the list or connect. Did a cache wipe from recovery, re-entered my wifi info, reset modem and router, but still no luck. So it appears to be something that I can replicate, and only with N. Here's hoping the next update fixes it.
I'm on the N beta preview 3, and my wifi will randomly stop working on my 6P. I have to switch it back each and every time. Also, when I return home, my 6P won't automatically reconnect to wifi like it did on MM. Definitely seems like a bug.
I am using the latest preview. Wi-Fi won't connect. It shows both the 2.4 and 5 ghz options as saved, but it won't use either one. Older version of Android connects fine to same router. I have a NetGear router.
same issue
Yes I would like to report having this issue as well on the 6P in N beta. I have a 5x on MM in one hand 6P on N beta in the other . 5x has connection fine 6P does not using 3 different routers.
Android N on 5x experiencing same issue. Any resolution?
I can report the same. Has anyone discovered a fix?

Mine works well however if you turn it off and then travel away from your router with wifi off; it will fail to reconnect upon returning to your home wifi and turning it back on. Do you ever turn your wifi off for an extended period of time?

WiFi Issue
Don't know if related. In my case, cannot turn on/off wifi. Even while of it shows the progress bar as if it was looking for networks. Have no wi-fi at this point and unenrolling from the beta isn't sending me the rollback to marshmallow. This on a Nexus 6P
Temporarily fix
I found a temporarily fix till the next update (hopefully) fixes it. Hop to advanced setting and click on wps button. Wait for 5-10 second then click cancel. Hop back to wifi list and you should find your SSID. Sometimes it won't connect even though it's saved and appears in the list. What you want to do is keep clicking on connect. This should help, atleast it does for me. Nexus 5X on Android N.

Bluetooth keeps disconnecting

Anyone have an issue with Bluetooth disconnecting? The icon disappears from the notification Bar, then reappears when connected again. Happens with my car and Gear S2 watch. Very irritating!

I got mine to get abck to working normal today. Came across another forum where someone suggested the following:
Head on over to Settings > Applications > Application Manager. Select More and then Show System Apps. Look for Bluetooth Share, then tap on Force Stop, and clear the cache and data.
As soon as I did this all of my issues went away and everything connected fine!
I have the same problem and it is very annoying, bluetooth keeps disconnecting from my car, specially during calls and then tries to reconnect again. This never happened to me before in any smartphone so this is a specific problem from the S7. I tried clean cache etc. but the problem continues. Anybody can recommend something else?

Have you tried un-pairing each device you use and restarting the phone, then pairing? I was having issues as well with Jaybird earbuds and my mini jambox. I did that and they seem to be working. I also followed the directions of resetting Bluetooth sharing. Been 2 days. No issues.
I've been having this issue as well - it happens when I'm not on a call and unfortunately when I am, which really sucks. Have had my car for a long time with many different phones so definitely not the car. Gonna try the bluetooth share tip from above - hopefully, that fixes it.

Just today in 5 minutes I lost connection with my car twice during a call, very annoying.
Mine went away after a factory reset and now its returned. ARGH.
I was having massive bluetooth problems that i thought was linked to the system update. I was getting random reboots, disconnects, and just all around flaky performance. I traced mine problem to the Nova launcher beta and night mode. For some reason it hated my bluetooth. Restored the stable version and removed night mode and my bluetooth is a champ now with no issues.

I think I found a solution, go to app manager -> click more (upper right) -> click reset app preferences. Didn't have any problem in last 2 days for the first time.

Didn't work for me. The whole Bluetooth stack just quits and restarts several seconds later. I have a Gear S2 watch constantly connected.

I feel your pain
I have a Jaybird Bluebuds X that I've been using for over a year now with the Nexus 6 and 7. Never a connectivity issue, and range was never an issue as well. With the S7 Edge, It keeps dropping the media connectivity whenever i'm streaming from either music or video, even when i'm standing a foot in front of it. Stays connected for phone audio only. Then drops completely after a few minutes. I've tried all the solutions posted without any success. Also does this with my bluetooth speaker. Very frustrating. Between this and no ambient display, i'm ready to go back to my Nexus 6. Big and slow, but at least it works. lol.
I have an issue in my car with bluetooth constantly connecting and reconnecting. I found that if I turn wifi off while I am in the car, my bluetooth is fine.

Anyone experiencing constant WiFi disconnects after 7.0?

I mean, I'm seeing my Wi-Fi disconnecting and reconnecting seconds later probably every ten minutes or so. It's getting infuriating. It's not my home network, either, as none of my other devices are experiencing this issue. Even still, just to be sure, I've tried multiple reboots of my router, to no avail. Anyone else having similar WiFi issues?
I been having the same problem with wifi. It will be fine for a while and then randomly disconnects and reconnects. Im not sure what do do about it. Other than that, i have had problems with quick connect...cant connect to my tv anymore

my wifes s7 edge does this but shes actually still on MM
I had the same issue. I performed a factory reset then used Smart Switch to re-install everything with the exception of apps. I had to manually select and install them (this was recommended from another post to avoid battery drain) and no issues again with Wi-Fi auto disconnect
I'm on AT&T and I have WiFi disconnects frequently. When the phone sleeps it always happens... And yea, I have the always on enabled.

Turning it off on mine fixed the issue. You may need a factory reset

Two problems cropped up -- Smart Lock blank and random temporary screen freezes

Hi, I've been using the essential phone for several days. I've installed lots of apps and other than a random glitch now and then, thinks have worked well. The system seems to be considerably faster than a Galaxy S8.
Two problems have recently surfaced. Smart lock is totally messed up (It was working for a while.) Now, when I get to the point in Security settings where I enter my pin, I get a blank screen. I've tried all sorts of things save a system reset. Smart Lock itself doesn't work any longer.
The other issue is intermittent freezes that last several seconds. Whatever the system is doing, it isn't responding at all. If I wait for a while, it proceeds to work fine.
Has anyone seen similar behaviors? Any suggestions short of a hard reset?
Thanks

Did you perhaps add a company exchange account or add some other device administrator? I've seen this issue on some of my previous devices where smart Lock is setup but my company's exchange policy disables it

For smart lock goto settings -> security - >trust agents
Toggle smart lock off, return to settings, go back and toggle it back on. Smartlock is back to normal, atleast this did the trick for me.
Thanks to both of you for ideas. I disabled two device administrators, both related to Lookout. I also deleted my fingerprints and all security. When I re-entered everything, all seemed fine. I will see if it behaves and then narrow it down.

I had to do this but I had to reboot instead of just exiting out of settings.
I'm running into this issue as well. Sometimes I can get it to come back, but then after a restart, it's broken again...

Ok, so it seems like the same issue is showing up for OnePlus devices since recently: https://forums.oneplus.net/search/13954406/?q=smart+lock&o=date&c[title_only]=1
I can get mine to freeze consistently by using chrome and browsing to flipboard.com. After I login the whole phone will freeze, not even the power button doesn't do anything. I've tested it out on a few other devices and I get the same response from my Nexus 9, also running 7.1.1. In this case at least I don't believe it's the phone but something to do with Android itself.
I'm getting the freeze as well but my power button works, when I turn off the screen and turn it back on it works for a few seconds and then freezes again

You had the Smart Lock issue too?! I did a Factory Reset to fix it here, no amount of powering off/on the device, toggling Smart Lock in "Trust Agents" did the trick, it just...was blank one day. I've had the freezes as well, haven't noticed those after the Factory Reset now that I think about that.

Interestingly, the pauses and stuttering disappeared at the same time. It is exceedingly difficult to convert these anecdotal comments into a meaningful diagnosis.
In any case, so far, so good.
Thanks! This is one of two major bugs driving me nuts!
Disabling then directly restarting worked for me, thanks for the tip!

The Smart Lock blank bug happened to me again yesterday, and I've been on NMI64c for a couple of days. De-activating Smart lock and rebooting got it working again.
Same problem with smart lock here and only solution seems to disable it, restart the phone and re-enable it...

You should be able to disable it in the trust agents settings, back up one menu the enable it again without needing to restart the phone. Someone else pointed this it out a few posts back and it's always worked for me.

1. Turn off all Smartlock agents that are on the list.
2. Reboot.
3. Turn them back on.
I have experienced a few freezes. Only after the phone sits for an extended period of time and it goes to sleep and after a restart. I actually haven't had this happen lately, seems like things some how worked themselves out. As far as smart lock I haven't had any such issue. I do have a question regarding smart lock. Do you guess have an option for enabling it when it is connected to a specific Bluetooth device?

All the on/off tinkering with trust agents has worked for me, but the fix has always been temporary. Smart Lock will be OK for a day or so before returning to its broken state/blank screen in the settings. Wish there was someone (a company) who knew what this was about and could fix it.

Trusted Voice Ok Google Detection

When using Ok Google with screen off, the phone hears me and wakes, but gets stuck at the unlock screen. Anyone else?

Mine did it again. I did what it says but smart Lock is still blank. Does it take a minute?
This happens on a regular (one a week for the last month) basis for me, it isn't really annoying except when I need it to work like when I'm at home and I'm carrying around my baby. lol In addition to @rignfool's post you might need to go back and check that Smart Lock is NOT in the menu before turning Smart Lock ON again in trusted agents. That has worked for me everytime versus toggling it on then off in the same time period.
Recurring issue
I constantly need to toggle on-off the security -> trust agents -> Smart Lock (Google) to make it work again.
Any suggestion to eliminate the issue?
It seems I have to do it every morning after I left it charged over-night.
Thank you
There's a normal security feature that if the phone has been idle/unused for 4 hours that you have to manually unlock again before using OK google. Verified with multiple users! My Mother is having the exact same problem though, that it keeps locking it over the course of using it via bluetooth in car (Yes I've read there's already issues) and having it in front of her during use. Literally happened hit or miss right after activation. Maybe I'll reset her phone and start over again.
