Marshmallow pairing with Volvo XC60 problem - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Prior to MM I had my Moto X Pure paired with my Volvo xC60 just fine. It played media, accessed contacts and had phone functions.
After MM (and a factory reset to use adaptive storage) when I pair to the car it only has access to media functions; no phone. The settings in the phone 'appear' to want to provide phone and contact functions (under settings for the pairing there are check boxes ticked for them) however the car only sees the media aspect of the pairing and when connected it is media only and the phone BT settings screen shows '(no phone)' next to the connection.
Any ideas?

Did you take the OTA to MM, or did you manually flash? If you manually flashed, did you flash the MM BTFM.bin file? (bluetooth radio)
If you took the OTA, did you factory reset afterwards? A FDR usually isn't required, but it would be my first suggestion if you haven't done that.
Please keep us updated.

I took the OTA update. I also ended up doing a factory reset because I wanted to use adaptive storage with my sd card and that ended up making me do a factory reset.
I never unlocked the bootloader or rooted this one. Everything should be totally stock with the MM update.

I am having the same issues with mxpe and 2012 town and country. I checked car manufacturer site to see if radio was in need of manual update. I took the tmobile update via SIM methods. I just went and delete all previous connection on the car and also the phone. I wonder if I disconnected the car battery for awhile it would erase car radio memory.

Ok, I deleted everything on the car side as well as phone but when I try and sync between car and mxpe they can't see each other...I do see other devices

[Q] Bluetooth Pairing Every Time I Use it

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but every time I turn on my bluetooth headset, I need to pair it. Have never had this issue with any of my other phones. Any ideas? My phone is stock, rooted with tethering hacked. I have disabled some bloatware, but nothing related to bluetooth or connectivity. Is it possible bluetooth is somehow connected to some stock LG Bloatware I am not aware of? thanks all!
I too experiened the same problem a while back till I installed "bluetooth auto connect" (free from google play store).
Hope this info is helpful to you.

Help paring will not connect to audio just phone works.
My LG G2 will not stream music to my car. The phone Bluetooth works just fine. When I move to connect to the media streaming the car say no Bluetooth audio device connected. The car is a Mercedes E 350 2010. I had a nexus 4 also an LG phone and I had no issues streaming. I am aware of the menu that you can get to check the boxes for phone audio and media audio. I have tried every option I can think of with no luck yet. So far I unpaired the device, I factory rest the phone all to no avail. When I attempt to pair just the Bluetooth media to the car the car asks me to up in the pass code and I do then the phone asks for the same code. This lets me know that the 2 devices are communicating. Once I have entered the pass code the car says connecting….. then is says connection to Bluetooth media device unsuccessful called LG T-Mobile and Mercedes and not one of them has any idea that was helpful or I had not tried yet. . I am rooted but running stock. Have 2 headsets that both work fine streaming music. Any ideas would help.

Tried resetting the car radio? My alpine will only store info for 3 devices then it will ask for that code and won't connect until at least one spot is cleared.

Not a bad idea. It is a stock system so I will look up how to reset if that's an option.

If you can't figure out how to reset radio, disconnect your car battery for a minute then hook it back up, should clear its memory

Problem solved. Both my Ipad and LG G2 needed the set up to be requested from the car. You must use the cars external authorization set up process not the normal way you sync your phone to make calls.

Bluetooth blues

Hello all.
I am having some bluetooth connectivity problem with my moto g 4 US xt1625 Retus channel (non amazon version) stock everything.
Basically the connection to my smartwatch is unstable and keeps dropping on and off.
Normally I would be blaming the smartwatch for this BUT it connects absolutely perfectly to my moto G2 (cyanogenmod 14) without any hint of misbehavior
I've already tried;
Forgetting and re-pairing device (also rebooting phone before repairing)
Factory resetting watch
clearing app data and cache of system bluetooth apps ("bluetooth share" and "bluetooth MIDI")
Disabling 4G (sometimes interferes apparently)
Disabling wifi
Running phone in safe mode.
*edit - also tried disabling power optimisation for both system bluetooth apps AND the watch companion app
I also reconnected my smartwatch to my old moto G 2 after trying all these things and it still works perfectly.
Old moto G2 had blutooth 4.0 LE and this moto G4 has bluetooth 4.2 LE which would offer no comparability issues.
Has anyone had any similar problems with their bluetooth?
Thanks in advance
I think my next move will be to root, and start removing G apps that could be interfering with the bluetooth connection

I have had a problem with my Fitbit connecting that didn't happen on my G2 or G3. I keep my cordless home phone connected with no problem though. What I have to do is forget the Fitbit in my bluetooth devices and it connects fine. If it's even showing up in the bluetooth devices it won't connect. That seems strange that it will only connect that way but others have reported the same thing. Maybe try and see if it connects after you forget it in the bluetooth settings and it's not even showing up.

OK maybe you're on to something.
If I connect to the watch using the companion app, then enter bluetooth settings and "forget" the device..... It still appears to be connected
But a few seconds later, it automatically pairs and re-appears in the "paired devices" list.
Is there a way to prevent re-connect?
Actually, after "forgetting" it several times, It's staying connected and has done for a 15 minutes now.
I'll report back if and when it disconnects.
Cheers
Ok so the watch disconnected a couple of times in a few hours. (this is a huge improvement from before)
Each time, "forgetting" the watch in bluetooth settings caused an automatic re-pair and return to good connection.
Maybe I can use "tasker" or similar app to automate this unpair upon disconnect?
Cheers

Yeah, it's strange that it works that way. I think it's the device not compatible with that version Bluetooth. My Fitbit doesn't try to reconnect once I forget it unless I make it pair then it will actually work sometimes and sometimes it doesn't when paired. It always works if I don't pair it at all. Have you tried clicking on the gear besides your watch in more settings once it connects and unchecking what ever connectons it shows in the check boxes?

If i click the gear next to the watch in the bluetooth settings, the only options i have are to rename the device, or to forget it
I have no checkboxes or anything like thar.
Do you have advanced bluetooth settings installed or something???

Some of my devices have check boxes for contacts, audio, etc. but not all. I thought maybe that would be something to look at.

Ok, its still messing around. I'm going to install the Temasek unofficial cyanogenmod 13 and see if that is an immediate fix, or if the additional options offers a fix.
Cheers
update;
after ugrading moto g4 to android nougat (7.0.1) I no longer have any issues with bluetooth connectivity.
6.0.1 was to blame!
my phone is updated to stock Nougat also and still having bluetooth issues staying connected to my car (2012 ford fusion with mysync) I will be keeping an eye on this thread.

I seldom connect my phone to mysync but my wife does. She also keeps her G4 connected to the Panasonic home phone system while home. I've noticed that since the update to Nougat mysync is very slow to connect on her phone. The Panasonic cordless phone seems to connect fine. Mysync will usually connect although she has to drive for 10 or 15 minutes before it does occasionally and other times it connects instantly. One time I had to delete her phone in the car and add it back. I wondered if it was a problem of it not disconnecting from the Panasonic, but that shouldn't be past the end of the driveway. Then again it may be just a rip in the space time continum. ?

Bluetooth problems and need to reset

I have a retus version on stock ROM (non-Amazon). I have 5-6 BT devices connected (Moto 360 watch on persistent, some headsets, headphones, speakers, car, etc.). They are all different brands (Plantronics, JBL, Taotronics, etc.). Almost every time I use a device and then it off, after awhile when I try to connect another device it won't connect. Then I need to reboot phone before it will connect again. Not every time, but most times. Just turning off the BT on phone and back on used to work sometimes but doesn't now. Anyone else have this problem and any suggested fixes? Thanks.
Has your phone done any updates, security patches etc, used to have to remove all previous Bluetooth items on my samsung, then reboot and add them back, before they would automatically reconnect, could be the same for moto.

Lost Bluetooth Media function after August 2018 security update

Hi all,
I sideloaded the August 2018 security update yesterday, and I'm noticing that the bluetooth media function is no longer working.
When I view paired devices I see "(no media)" next to them, and the bluetooth receiver (in this case, two car stereo's) also report that the device is not connected.
My phone still pairs and calls can be made and received without issue.
Checking the bluetooth settings on my phone I have media audio switched on. Toggling it makes no difference.
I've completely removed the pairing from the phone and car and re-paired successfully but still without the option to stream media.
Before I go down the road of wiping the phone and installing the full factory image I thought I would ask here if anyone else has experienced this?
Some googling revealed it has happened to other Android phones over the years with varying rates of success from re-pairing to factory resetting.
As a side note, should I be updating the driver binaries that are available on the Android Factory Images page when I sideload these updates?
PS. I have an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery using TWRP 3.2.3.0 and root access using Magisk 16.7.

LG G6 with Bluetooth Issues

Problem: Intermittent Bluetooth connection with my Prius C. Found two Bluetooth apps in system apps.
When I go into the bluetooth app to clear cache and data, I noticed TWO Bluetooth apps! One is version 8.0 which is appropriate since I've upgraded to Oreo. And, the second Bluetooth app is version 6.20.18. After trying everything I could think of to fix my connectivity issue, I'm at the point of a factory reset and rebuilding my device with hopes of resolution. But first, I wanted to ask if anyone else is seeing TWO bluetooth apps on their phones? Settings/Apps & Notifications/ Apps, then expand menu to show system apps.
Again, is anybody else seeing two bluetooth apps? Wouldn't this create a conflict with anything trying to connect? How can I delete the old app since they are both system apps? TIA
I've also got two apps. Enable Developer options and try to change Bluetooth - AVRCP version to AVRCP 1.4 (Default). After that my TomTom watch could connect to G6 without problems. Maybe it will be also a solution for your problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've done as suggested with mixed results. I unpaired my G6 from my Prius, deleted the G6 profile from the Prius and still got the BT connecting and then disconnecting. I didn't have time to reboot so I wonder if that may be my issue (cache memory?). I'll try that at lunch. However, after a minute or so, I was able to stream uninterrupted. Thanks for the suggestion and solution, hopefully
I'm having a similar issue with my G6 and a 2016 Subaru Outback. Keeps dropping the connection and connecting. Sometimes it is ok for a while. Sometimes it keeps doing it from the time I start the car. Worked great until 8.0 update. See thread here: https://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/138-gen-5-2015-2019/501767-bluetooth-connection-issues-lg-g6.html#post5728313
Update: Still having mixed results (when connecting to my Prius). so, after some connection back and forth, I have been successful with streaming Pandora and Amazon Prime for more than 20 minutes w/o interruption.
I've tried Google Play in the car and it's as if the connection is possessed. It's so unstable that it makes me believe Google Play is somehow responsible. Yet, my BT headphones connect and play without issue for over 1hr while mulching leaves.
I still don't fully understand how their can be 2 Bluetooth apps on my phone without any type of conflict, especially since they are different versions. I'm thinking that when my phone updated to Oreo, the old Bluetooth app/file didn't get removed.
@TheGs - Have you done a factory reset? If so, how many bluethooth files/versions on phone after reset? I was hoping a reset would fix this puppy. I too am on TMo/H872.
I still have two apps after a factory reset. (I'm just here because I've had bluetooth crashing after the latest OTA from T-mobile.)
UPDATE: having followed the suggestion from @adamz667 above, I changed the AVRCP to 1.3 and so far so good. Bluetooth just connects with no interruptions what so ever. Maybe this will help if you are having simiilar issue.
@lovecomplex - thanks for replying on the number of bluetooth apps you have after reset. Now that I seemingly have resolved my issue I see no need to reset at this point, Good Luck!
got a brand new G6. Bluetooth is broken out of the box. I can't stream anything to any bluetooth devices. Changing it to AVRCP 1.3 under Developer Options made streaming possible but it is choppy. I am on Nov 1 android security patch.
WTF LG? It is brand new, brand new!
