i all
I have a LG G watch R, i have had this around 10 months, its paired with my Nexus 5.
Over the past year there has been a few occasions where suddenly the "mute phone alerts and calls" option has suddenly stopped working! *Half way through the day all of a sudden id still get the message on my watch but my phone would make a noise too!
Usually i fixed this by uni stalling android wear, resetting the watch back to factory setting and re pairing them..this usually solved the issue until next time....however!
This time it happened again and no matter what i do it wont work! i have the option to mute phone call and alerts but the phone still makes a noise and is not muted! when i toggle the volume bar it used to say before "muted by android wear" but now it does not.
My phone was updated to android 6.0 last week but for the past week its been fine so i doubt it related to that as like i said its done this before on lollipop.
Few more things to note that may be related, if i swipe down in my notifications box it used to say "android wear connected" but thats no longer there, and if i go into the watch and go into settings and bluetooth devices it does not say anything it just says scanning for nearby devices, and i notced once it said nexus 5 disconcerted??
I must stress that i am connected to my phone as all my notifications come through on my watch fine.
Anyone had this or know a fix?
Thanks

Did you find a solution?
Same problem here. I have moto x play (no developer edition) unlocked bootloader/rooted/lollipop 5.1 and LG G watch R.
In my case it seems related to Moto Display (Motorola'app similar to ambient display). If I disable it, mute comes back.
I tried to uninstall android wear app, and then installing 1.3 version. No fix.
On reddit I read that it should be the last update of Google play service instead: user restored his phone fixing the problem. I tried to uninstall play service (no factory reset)...no fix
EDIT: Ok I have just found a middle-solution. I downloaded a module for Xposed (True silent Mode), after activation you will not able to receive any vibrations or sounds on your phone, but you'll receive a vibration on your watch instead. It's similar to android wear function, the difference is if you disconnect your watch you have to disable the silent mode on your phone manually. Hoping Google (or Motorola in my case) fixes it soon in the meantime...

I see other reports and see the issue myself where android wear often says that the watch isn't connected anymore while the watch says it is. And voice commands etc. on the watch still works (I guess they go directly through GMS not involving the android wear app itself).
Maybe there is a bug between android wear and the detection of the connected watch that keeps thinking android wear that no watch is connected and then not muting the notifications on the phone.
Do you have the cloud sync enabled? It's in "privacy & personal data". I have.
Hi still have the same issue, and yes my watch thinks it's not connected also
I have tried both cloud synced and un synced
Try putting your watch on charge, then taking it off
It worked for me, you will notice when on charge the ph is connected but notifications are not muted
I think the ph must think the watch is charging...
The latest wear app version fixed it for me.

I've not noticed this before and not sure if it's a glitch in the Oreo beta, however everytime I restart my device (which has been a few times today with beta 2) my accessibility services are turned off, so BxActions stops working until I re-enable it in the settings, the same with Navbar apps.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Thanks,
YES! Same issue. However, I've had this issue dating back to my Galaxy Tab S on 6.0.1
I've just come to live with the fact that apps like Last Pass will never work properly unless I regularly (manually) provide them with accessibility access.
Installed Blackball's fRomFuture ROM, working well and it's fast but the AA bugs are still there.
Bugs are:
- Phone calls go to the handset instead of showing on the HU. This prevents the HU from being able to control calls and I have to answer and end them with the phone itself. The workaround is to either stop the Dialer process before plugging into the HU, or install Google Phone 7.0.140861421-nonnexus (noarch) (nodpi) (Android 6.0+) and set it as default dialer. Only bug then is the clock/timer on calls shows system time or something like 422031:23:59. No big deal there.
- Waze works one time, but as soon as the phone is rebooted it will halt the maps process on the HU. App still works fine when unplugged. Once this happens you have to either; clear cache and data from AA, enable developer mode in AA and start Maps from the "Back to Sync" icon (developer mode adds options here - Ford Sync), or uninstall Waze. I have not found another reliable workaround and it seems like this is a very common Huawei issue, not just P10 Plus.
Wondering if anyone else has found workarounds for these?
So I seem to be having issues with bluetooth. Most of the BT devices work, but my TomTom Raider 400 does not seem to want to work.
I was able to pair it to the device, but thats all I get, the TomTom says it won't connect or anything, It was working great nougat now it does not work anymore. I cleared out all network settings, still no go.
Anyone having issues with devices that perhaps require data? anyone have any ideas?

I'm having similar BT problems since the update. Sometimes my car doesn't connect. Quite often my Gear S3 disconnects when the phone is still well within range. My Sat Nav will only connect via BT if I search for it. There is definitely a glitch but I haven't found a fix

Same issues here, with Tomtom GO 510 and with asus Chromebook too (via Bluetooth only)
I've updated to CRC7 today using the SD card update method described here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3746561
The BT is much more stable this afternoon and a persistent problem that I had with my home Wi-Fi seems to be gone too. Early days, but it does seem better [emoji106]

I updated to Oreo 8.0 on my S8 today and have had bluetooth connectivity issues ever since. Listening to music in the car, it will randomly drop connection. Also, some track information is no longer showing on the headunit (the playback time and the overall song length). Everything worked perfect before update. Seems to have been a known problem that may have been addressed with the 8.1 update on Pixel and Nexus phones. Unfortunately my carrier (ATT) just rolled out the 8.0 update today for my S8. I'm at a loss for what to do.
It's failing left and right.
I turn it on and it turns off apprx 1 min later.
I turn it back on and it does the same thing (each time).
removing and re-setting up everything fails.
rebooting fails (same as turning on and off)
safe mode does not help.
So far, Oreo has made Bluetooth useless on my S8

After Oreo update my S8's BT became spotty working 20% of the time on calls in the car. So i searched & read that resetting network connections would do the trick. It wasn't under connections->more settings - instead i found it in about phone-at the bottom under Looking for something else-> Reset->Reset Network Settings . Yehey i found it & reset my network settings!
Now my BT won't turn ON! From 20% to 0% function!!!
What a what!
Fix this Samsung!

Same issue here. My S8+ was rock solid on Nougat, but since the update to Oreo yesterday my Bluetooth does not connect 19 out of 20 tries in my car. I factory reset my phone thinking it may have been an issue with the update process, but that did nothing to fix the issue. I really need a solution as I need to talk while in my car.
Haven't tried using Bluetooth on anything else, but my phone stays consistently connected to my Gear watch.
Anyone have any solutions to this? I'm experiencing the same issues. Won't connect consistently with my gear s2, drops certain speakers all the time, although it seems to stay connected more consistently to my car. Really frustrating and don't want to wait for the glacial pace of Verizon update rollouts.

Did you do a fresh install ( download, install, clear cache, wipe phone, rebuild or restore backup) or just install the update and go from there?

I just installed the update, but up the thread above several people say that factory reset didn't fix this issue for them.
It won't make a difference. I factory reset my phone after the update to Oreo and reconfigured everything from scratch, no restore, and it made no difference. My Bluetooth still does not work with my car. It works with my Pebble, my Sony Bluetooth headset, and a Marley speaker with no issues. Why is it that only my car fails? It is the most important one.
I am having the same issue when listening to music with Bluetooth in my car. The music gets choppy and does not play back the way it should. I have been looking everywhere online for a fix and I haven't come up with anything. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Same issue with Sony XAV-68BT headunit. Music plays through Bluetooth, then drops rendomly, then manually have to reconnect. Very distracting while driving. Phone calls do not seem to be affected though, so... There's another little tidbit.
Actually I did notice the other day that my Gear Sport was on standalone mode instead of Bluetooth, so I was missing texts from people. Really annoying. Samsung better address this.. going to take ages for Verizon to get the update though, I'm sure.
Any chance that the Bluetooth apk file for the Galaxy S9 would work on our phones? Maybe it would help?
I'm having similar issues here too. I was on Nougat with zero problems. Did an OTA update to Oreo and suddenly my Kenwood car stereo keeps losing bluetooth connectdion. Used ODIN to flash back to Nougat and it's rock solid. Decided to flash Oreo instead of doing it OTA, and suddenly the bluetooth is flakey again. Flashed back to Nougat, and it's rock solid. I've also tried factory resetting and reconfiguring the car stereo, did a factory reset of the Galaxy S8, cleared the cache, and nothing works. The only way of getting Bluetooth to maintain a connection to the car stereo is to be on Nougat.
Interestingly though, I have no problems with my Gear S3 maintaining a bluetooth connection.
It appears it's only some devices that have the issue. I don't hold out much hope that Samsung will fix it though. Weren't people complaining about the same thing during the betas?
I guess this can solve your problems too, I had an issue since the oreo update, cant select anything but SBC reverting to default, even with the level u app not showing UHQ, I started a chat with samsungs members app and they told me that is an error in the update, not all devices are presenting this problem. well, the solution: 1. back up your data with smartswitch app(I backed up with a sd card, 10Gb info) if you have whatsapp do a chat backup because they dont backup with smartswitch. 2. delete your samsung and google account. 3. Do a hard reset(witch the phone powered off press volume+, bixby and power, until you see the recovery menu), wiping cache and then wipe data/factory reset(move trough the menu with volume+- and select with power). 4. start the phone and add your google and samsung account, then restore your data with smarwitch app. this will let you select the BT codec again.
worked for me and the bluetooth conection is more stable
Before updating I had the dolby app disabled. After the update it was still disabled but the service seemed to be running because it was affecting the audio quality, so I re-enabled it, turned off the dolby processing, and when I was about to disable the app back I got my first reboot. After it went on again I was able to disable it. Started playing some music to check if it was disabled and got another reboot. Now every once in a while happens. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Maybe try to force stop Dolby app then erase data and try again.
For now seems you're the only with this problem

Made a factory reset, didn't disable anything and I have got at least two random reboots. How can I get a logcat of what happened before the reboot?
[EDIT] Found that the random reboots only happens when I'm at the office, connected to a hidden unmetered WPA2-protected Wi-Fi network.

You run Catlog app (for example) and wait for the reboot. If it's plain that it only happens with that Wi-Fi connection, then just run Catlog, connect to WiFi, boom. Check logs afterwards
Has anyone found a solution?
I'm having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution? I already factory reset the phone, but the random reboots persists, and it's only when connected to my home router, it never occurs when wifi is off, and hardly when connected to other APs, wich is very strange.
My device is RETBR, I'm not rooted and never unlocked my bootloader.
Thought about reflash the rom, but i don't see how it would help.
Workaround
Hi, just updating this thread because I maybe have found a workaround. After I installed Blokada, witch uses a VPN, the phone stoped rebooting when connected to my home WiFi. Probably the VPN changes the way Android connects to the internet thus solving the problem. Blokada isn't a real VPN service, it only uses the API to creat a way to block adds, so other apps that uses VPN like that (1.1.1.1, intra, etc) should work as well.
This is a really weird bug, that onky happens in some specific conditions. I didn't found to much people reporting this, but if someone is having the same issue, I hope this "solution" could help.
Have you tried reflash to Oreo Stock?
Maybe after flash Oreo Stock your cellphone working fine.
