[Q] WiFi + Bluetooth = Fail?

I received the Nexus 10 32gb on Friday and have noticed the following problem:
When I have WiFi on and my Bluetooth controller connected, the WiFi and Bluetooth signals will completely shut off and restart consistently within a 5-10 minute time frame. I have seen posts regarding WiFi problems and also general Android 4.2 Bluetooth problems, so I am not sure if this is related, or perhaps more insight into what is wrong with these units (or at least mine).
Has anyone else experienced this?
What I am doing specifically when this happens is this: WiFi is connected to 5ghz router signal, Bluetooth is turned on and paired to a Nyko Playpad controller (BTW, the paring is way more finicky than with my Note 10.1 which I am trying to replace with the Nexus). I then start playing a game with Mame4droid Reloaded or Nesoid and consistently within about 5 to 10 minutes, the controller will become unresponsive. If I go back to the home screen when this happens, I see the WiFi icon is now only an outline (no blue or grey signal bars in it), then the Bluetooth icon goes from blue to grey. Then, after a few seconds they both come back on and I have to re-connect my controller.
I haven't noticed the WiFi dropping in general use, and if I turn off WiFi and use the controller, it seems to not disconnect/drop out.

Update: Last night I watched a full 2hr NFL game streamed through NFL Game Rewind and at one point playback stopped. The WiFi indicator turned grey and I had no internet connectivity (couldn't even open any sites in Chrome). I turned off WiFi and when I turned it back on again, it just hung on "starting WiFi"- or whatever it says and there was no list of available connections, etc. I had to power down and restart to get it back up.
Then, I used the Nyko Bluetooth controller to navigate the menus and some apps to see if it would disconnect as it does when gaming. Same thing happened- both WiFi and Bluetooth connections cut off and restart...
I am obviously returning this unit, but I hope to see if the same thing happens to anyone else as far as WiFi/Bluetooth is concerned. No one else has used a Bluetooth controller effectively with their Nexus 10 yet?

I have seen complaints for this same issue on the Galaxy Nexus forums. Seems like they think it's a Android 4.2 issue.

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 connection issues

I bought recently a Xbox one s controller for me. Because it has Bluetooth I could play normally on my phone, but yesterday I updated my android to the last version of CM13 and since them I can't use it on my phone.
Now everytime I try to use it I have to delete it from BT paired devices and re-take them, but everytime I try to pair the android shows that the controller is connected but IRL isn't, the Xbox button keeps blinking and the app Bluetooth viewer shows that the device isn't connected
How can I fix this?

After some hours searching, I found in this Post a solution, where I just copied the remap file and it worked like charm.

Bluetooth wont connect to multiple devices

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.

H96 Max+ 32gb RK3328 Bluetooth not working

Hi all
I have weird problem with my h96 Max+
basically whenver i toggle bluetooth on in the settings, it either doesnt look like its fully enabled. or if it toggles completely, then when i back out of the settings page, and immediately go back in to check whether its saved that setting, the bluetooth setting will have turned off again immediately
i have also tried restarting and unplugging all devices. I have even flashed it from Android 8.1 to Android 9 which uses a newer UI. nothing has worked and i cant get the bt to enable
I have also plugged in a usb bluetooth receiver. The light turns on but nothing happens on the software or settings wise
Any ideas to troubleshoot this?
One random google result for the OpenEleec forums for their software suggested it has to do with Ethernet. Which i have tried unplugging to no avail
Thanks
