GPS Stops During Calls - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While driving, I use Google Maps or Waze and make phone call using my bluetooth headset. During the call my GPS stops.
My Nexus is rooted and I faced this issue on different ROMs (Stock and Custom).
Anybody had this issue before? What's fix?

If that happens on both stock and custom ROMs there's a pretty good chance it's a hardware problem in which case there is no fix that is practical given the value and age of the phone. One thing you could try is to put your phone in safe mode and see if the behavior stops. If it does stop then an app you installed is causing an issue. If it keeps happening then you probably have a hardware problem.

Another GPS problem?

HI,
After GPS fix, it is usable now, BUT it talks when it wants to only.
I am using google navigation, but it is not talking randomly.
I check every setting. It is not muted and volume is all the way up.
I even turned off bluetooth just in case.
What drives me crazy is it works just fine sometimes even if I did not change anything.
Anyone has the same problem? possible fix for this?
Thanks.

Bluetooth causing MT4G to reboot

I had this problem with my G2 as well. Every time I have bluetooth on and then go to turn it off, it causes the phone to reset.
I have tried different combinations of control to try and differentiate what might be the cause. GPS on and off, Wi-Fi on and off etc..None of those seem to matter. Just whenever I turn off bluetooth the device resets.
Any ideas? Maybe something that will be addressed in a future bug fix update.
Nobody having the same issue? No ideas?

Just tried mine - does not reboot (mine is temp rooted - should not make any difference).
UPDATE - i also connected a headset first.
I suppose I should clarify the circumstances so testing might be quicker.
If I simply turn bluetooth on and off there is no issue. But when I connect a headset and use as normal, if I turn bluetooth off it reboots the phone. I had the exact same issue with my G2 as well.
Yup, my MT4G does this as well. It's somewhat random, it only happens when I'm disconnecting the BT in some fashion but not every time.
This past time I still had the BT headset connected, all I did was end a (voip w/ csipsimple) call that was over the BT. Just closing the audio channel was enough to kill it.
I'm using a jawbone icon, are you using an aliph headset as well?
Happened to me on my G2, my MT4G should be here tomorrow. It doesn't happen every time, I'm looking for the cause and take note of what I was doing or what app was open when it happens.
I'm using a Motorola Roadster.
I've been unable to determine the common denominator so far... The only thing that is constant when this happens is I have the Car Home app set to open and activate dock mode whenever my Motorola Roadster Bluetooth Speakerphone connects to my phone.
Anybody else have this setting configured??
Agh, I thought it was only me and only when I was using a SIP soft phone connected to Trixbox... hmmm

Happened to me once also, but also had two other restarts without the bluetooth being involved. I don't think I like this phone.
I called TMobile about it and they just told me to do a complete reset on the phone. I figure I'd try that in case the 2.2->2.2.1 OTA caused something to be messed up but it didn't make a difference.
I have noticed that when it is going to reboot, the "Bluetooth headset disconnected" message doesn't appear when I turn off the headset. The phone continues to work for a few seconds with the bluetooth connected icon still showing (the dots on the side of the BT icon) then it reboots.
hah2110 mentioning sip got me thinking.
I had sipdroid running in the background... I've disabled it and so far haven't been able to reproduce the reboots. With it on I can cause the reboot after two or three disconnects with both a Jawbone Icon and a Blueant Z9.
To be clear, with sipdroid running I can reproduce the reboots *without* actually placing any calls with sipdroid, but with it completely off the phone has been stable.
Interesting... SipDroid does say BT is experimental. I always figured it was problematic because it is using different protocols. Basically [in my mind at least], you are trying to "pretend" that the phone is on a phone call when it is really just using data and other resources of the phone all combined to seem like a phone call. I've had other issues with volume (ringer vs. in-call) when using SIP clients because of that very reason. 3CX supports bluetooth but doesn't flag it as experimental.

The OP was posting a problem, not an inquiry.
So, after some hunting and tweaking I seem to have found at the very least an answer (maybe).
After rooting the phone I seem to not be having the issue of bluetooth causing reboots after it is turned off. Not sure what that means but I have tried to replicate the problem and have been unable to so far.
Ok I have been experiencing the same issue.
However this is my situation.
I never experienced this until I installed Bluetooth Audio Widget.
A handy app that routes all audio to the BT headset, so you can listen to music on your mono headset. They do state that in all froyo versions it has a known issue where if you shut the headset off before disabling BT it will cause a reboot.
I have used the app for several months knowing this and not having a problem with that glitch. However after awhile it became an issue where it would reboot regardless of the order that you would shut them off.
And all that took place ONLY after enabling the widget.
In just the past week+ it has now been causing the reboot issue no matter what.
It will now reboot regardless of my enabling the widget or not.
Walk out of range of the phone with the headset enabled and it causes a reboot.
Turn off the headset-reboot
turn off BT-reboot
This used to only take place AFTER I had enabled the Bluetooth Audio Widget.
It was an acceptable glitch when it was just caused by the widget.
Now it's become unacceptable.
This is on a stock MT4g non rooted.

[Q] Microphone problem on loudspeaker mode

Hi,
I have problem with my Nexus 4 on stock soft, it was present on 4.3, now after update to 4.4 nothing changed. Issue remains.
When I put loudspeaker on during call, person I am talking to says that he barely or even doesn't hear me.
It's a bit ironic, because while googling for the solution I've found that people tend to have issue with normal mode and turning on speaker mode fixes the issue. Out of the 2 I prefer my problem, nevertheless I talk a lot while driving, so this is annoying. Any one encountered this issue? Is there simple fix or I have to service my brand new phone?
Did you ever find a fix, this happens with my nexus 4.

I still have that issue and still no solution for it. Anybody?
Any resolve this issue?
I've noticed this issue on my nexus 4 as well.
When I have the loudspeaker on, its as if the microphone is picking up noise or something constantly. So if I'm on an automated menu (lets say when calling a bank) and you're suppose to say say your account number, the system will immediately say "we did not get that...etc" as if my phone microphone is always picking something up. Also when I talk to people on it, they say they have troubles hearing me.
I have no issues when on regular (non loudspeaker) mode though.
Most of the times.. It is a software issue... Try flashing the stock firmware.. From Google developers website

[Q] Earpiece does not work: cannot hear calls

The earpiece on my Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720) does not work, so I cannot hear calls (or any other audio that uses the earpiece). The other person on the call can hear me fine and speakerphone and headphones work. I bought the phone used, so it seems like it would be a hardware problem, except for the fact that I am able to make it work by opening HwModuleTest (dial *#0*#) and pressing the receiver button. This creates a tone through the earpiece and the problem goes away until for a while, only to come back at seemingly random intervals, or when I reboot. All this was happening with the stock firmware (4.4.2).
I then switched to CyanogenMod 11 M12 (4.4.4), because I do not like the stock OS and because I hoped it might solve this problem. Unfortunately, the problem still remains, but I now have no way to mitigate it at all because CyanogenMod does not have HwModuleTest or something similar as far as I know.
I found a few similar problems on the internet, but they were are either unresolved or the solution did not work for me. A common cause was that the phone falsely detected that headphones were plugged in, but I don't think this is the problem because I used the SoundAbout app (as recommended in one case) to force the use of the earpiece and this did not fix the problem.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problem or has any ideas of you to solve it. Thanks.I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problem or has any ideas of you to solve it. Thanks.
Bump. Does anyone ever heard of this problem before?

Speakerphone turning off at random while on call.

Hello,
I have not seen a thread on this nor has Google searches helped but I have an issue I wanted to post to see if anyone else was having the issue.
I use my phone for work and often have it on speaker phone, out of no where the call goes quite and the person on the other end of the call can not hear me anymore. Upon looking at the phone the speaker phone seems to get disabled and the call goes back to the handset. This happens often when using the speakerphone but certain calls are worse then others.
In one call I had the speaker phone get disabled about 10 times which was close to every 30 seconds or so. This is very very annoying, I have also rebooted the phone. At this time I am not modded and have less then ten apps installed and I am pretty sure none of the apps I installed are causing the issue.
I will note that I do have the phone connected to bluetooth a lot and when the issue happened I tried to disable the bluetooth while on the call but the issue persisted.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Speaker phone and Bluetooth turning off at random
I am having the exact same problem. But for me this happens with Bluetooth and speakerphone. This is getting really frustrating for me and potentially dangerous when I try to switch back to Bluetooth while driving.
Have you figured out a solution for this yet ?
