FYI, since April Security Update, Mate 9 Bluetooth is much better - Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

I have been having trouble with Bluetooth connection with my Mate 9. Disconnects, difficult connections etc.
Noticed FYI, since April Security Update, Bluetooth is much better. Still have occasional problems, but much less frequent. Maybe Bluetooth fix or conflict with previous security patch, whatever, it is better.
Anyone else find Bluetooth better recently?

On the may update with face unlock, notification light is not working dunno about bluetooth

Bluetooth in car - calls drop immediately

I have a 2016 mazda3, my old Samsung worked flawlessly with it. But my new Pure has some serious issues. The most prominent of which is that if I try to dial out for a call it immediately says "hanging up" and then the bluetooth drops.
Music works from it just fine, though it does have substantial lag sometimes. Messages works too, as do INCOMING calls. But outgoing calls are completely FUBAR.
Any ideas?

Have you checked if Mazda have issued a software update ? I know the car is a 2016 model, but often the factory loaded software is already out-of-date.
I bought a new BMW in 2014, and there was already a bluetooth software update available on the BMW website, adding compatibility for a lot more phones.
It was possible to download and update the software quite easily on my BMW via a USB stick. I did it again only a month ago.
Does Mazda offer the same option?

Thanks for the reply, but no, my software is the current version. July 2015 is their latest update and the 2016 model came out afterwards.
Flashing AOKP's unofficial ROM seems to have alleviated this issue for now, but I really do wish I could run stock.

Anyone else having bluetooth connection problems?

I've had my Z Force for about a week and a half. At first, everything was fine, but now, BT won't automatically connect to all of the trusted devices. It automatically connects to my BT speaker at work, but not the one at home or my Ford Sync.
I'd appreciate any thoughts.
Having an issue with it dropping the connection when paired with the LG Tone Platinum HBS-1100.
I have mine since Tues. Connected to 2014 Honda and Moto 360 and Moto sd 11 headphones. No issues I have noticed, especially in the car. It connects quicker and continues pandora quicker than any phone I have used previously with the car (LG G2, LG G3, Turbo 2). I will soon test with a Ford Sync 3 system, a vizio soundbar, and an ECOXGEAR speaker, and some ihome cheap headphones. Hopefully all goes well.
09 Ford with sync. Having issues as well. Don't have trusted devices set up because of the fingerprint reader, but I do have issues with automatically connecting, especially if I leave the source on Bluetooth audio when I turn the truck off. If I hit the phone button, it will usually reconnect. Don't have any issue with my moto 360 though.
I think it's a Ford sync problem. I have a 2015 fusion. Mine connects but it's delayed. Unfortunately the automotive radios are only designed for specific bt protocols. This is a problem with many car systems. My wife has the same problem with Dodge uconnect and the g5.

But mine worked fine for the first week or 2. It also is a problem with my BT speaker.
Bluetooth Connection
The same thing was happening in my Subaru, so I went into the voice settings of the moto actions app. Once there, choose "Talk to Me" and then touch more options. Once I selected the "audio troubleshooting" button, my car bluetooth problems went away instantly. Maybe something to try if you haven't?
Yeah Ford doesn't have any options like that.
So, the simple fix was to go empty the Bluetooth Share cache. Seems like a simple idea, but I had never needed to do this on any other phone.
I'd had mine a while and one day I noticed my BT wouldn't connect to my speaker at work. So I tested it on all my devices and my Bluetooth doesn't work at all. It will not find any device at all. Yes I've made sure they're all on sync, search, find, whatever the option is. I've cleared cache, tried to dig deeper to find that there are no legitimate settings or options menus, no way to troubleshoot the issue. I even thought an update would fix it as I thought it had updated just before I noticed it not working. Well it's updated again and nope. Still no Bluetooth. I've given up. And to beat all, no damn headphone jack so I gotta remember to carry around my adapter to use an aux cord.
On Bluetooth people can hear me but I cannot hear them.
I have had my Moto Z force for a while now, and all of the sudden when I connect to any Bluetooth device I cannot hear anything when it comes to phone calls. All media works, and people can hear me. I have factory reset the phone to see if this fixes it... But it did not work. Anyone else have an idea or experience this issue?
Hi, I have the same problem, suddenly after upgrading to nougat, I can not detect the wi fi and bluetooth.
Let me lower your stock:

I have the same problem too 3 days ago. It stopped working randomly. I was running Nougat with December security patch. Tried hard resetting and nothing. Now I updated to the January security patch and I still have the same problem, even after doing another hard reset. Could this be a kernel glitch or a driver issue? Bluetooth says it's on but it won't find any device and I can't pair any device to it. I hope Motorola is looking to fix this because I am from Europe and can't send the device to warranty in the US .

You can send it out, you just need a forwarding US address... You can do this if you do it with a middle-man https://www.shipito.com/ for example. might cost a little more for shipping, but it's an option that you have at least!

Thank you so much! I'll send it to warranty in the end. Moto is going to completely replace it. I'll have a Z Play to play around with meanwhile and then I'll see wich one of the 2 I'll keep.
My Moto Z has a similar issue. I got my first unit last summer and had to return/replace it because the charger melted to the phone (but that's another story). With my new phone, I constantly have trouble connecting to BT. I can almost always connect eventually, but it's NEVER on the first try. I usually have to toggle BT off and on, force stop BT, or restart my phone. So my Bluetooth isn't quite 100% useless, but it's a huge inconvenience any time I need to connect to anything.
Also fyi this is not related to the Ford issue--I'm connecting to headphones and speakers.
Bluetooth on G5
I can't connect to the handsfree on Mitsubishi Mirage
I'm having the same issue. All Bluetooth devices just quit. Headphones, Watch, Car adapter. Everything. I've reset my phone and nothing. Anyone had any success with any fix?
[Update] I think there may be something up because I mentioned it to the customer rep and they immediately said I need to send it in.

After Android 7.1.1 update - Bluetooth In-Car Connectivity PROBLEM

Hi all
Yestarday i updated my Nexus 6p to Android 7.1.1 OTA.
After that i am having problem with my Bluetooth Car stereo Connectivity, it's connect for a second and then disconnect.
Is there any solution or fix ?

No problem with mine. I did a factory reset after installing the update though. Maybe you could clear connected devices and try again.
It's seems to be only with my android 4.4 car head unit, i tried a several other Bluetooth devices and i success to connect, don't know why only with my car it's not working although it works until yesterday before the 7.1.1 OTA update...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/contacts-syncing-via-bluetooth-to-car-7-t3514174
I'm having contact sync issues now I'm on 7.1.1.
2012 GMC Sierra. No Bluetooth issues at all with MM or Nougat 7.0. Side-loaded 7.1.1 OTA this morning, now my Bluetooth connection drops/connects repeatedly (every 2-3 seconds). Have deleted the BT device from phone & repaired, wiped cache, & rebooted with no success. Stock/no root here.
2016 Honda Accord. Won't sync call history and contacts. Cannot make or receive calls. Worked perfectly in 7.0. What's funny is that BT audio streaming still works fine. The car does have Android Auto built in and calls work fine through that so it's a weird issue. I don't use Android Auto all the time so it is definitely annoying
I Google this issue , and it's seems to be a much big problem. A lot of users reports this issue:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/Mv5Hc6Lw7rA;context-place=forum/nexus
And this one:

I have been facing the same problem too. My 6P connects & then disconnects to the media-nav of Renault Duster. I have tried factory resetting both, the phone & Car media player with no results.
Bluetooth connects no problems in 7.0 to my 2011 Chev Cruze. Update to 7.1.1, drops every second. Flash factory image of 7.1.1 in hope that it might have been an OTA issue, and no luck. Flash 7.0 factory image, and bluetooth works and stays connected with my car. But after downgrading I lost the ability to restore all my apps and data, just had the Gapps. There wasn't an option to restore the info from my 6P previous to factory imaging it.. So now I have to manually search the apps out and reinstall them.
I just don't understand how Google keeps screwing this up. I'm grateful to have a Nexus and I can rescue myself, but it would be a piss off if I was not aware of how to get myself back to a place when the phone actually WORKED. It's just nonsense.
Post in the bug tracker and star it, so they know it's important to look into: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=225774
I am on stock rom without root, can any one with 7.1.1 custom rom can tell us if that problem exists?
It is a widely spread problem. Almost everyone I've seen trying to connect a N6P or N5X to a car after any update to 7.1.1 (was also present on the Public Betas) has this problem.
I've been having this since the first Beta. got back to 7.0 and everything was normal. got final public version OTA and the problem is back.
Tried to flash factory version (to see if it was an OTA problem) and problem persists. Even after several full wipes.

Lets put some pressure on Google about it.
Same problem here, having loads of issues with a 4.4 head unit in my car. Only issues with call (connect-disconnect every couple of seconds) connection with my bluetooth headphones is great though.

Can someone test this?
Can someone that is on 7.1.1 test something for me as I rolled back to 7.0. I'm not exactly sure if it is a fix, but I do know it has fixed other issues in the past.
Go to Settings>Battery>Tap the three dots top right>Battery optimization>There is a drop down menu there that says "Not optimized", tap on that and switch to "All apps">Look for "Bluetooth Share" and tap on it>Select Don't optimize
Try then to pair again with your vehicle.
If someone could test on Nexus 6p, 5x on 7.1.1 that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I tried it. Didn't work. Bluetooth still broken
Same issue here. Nexus 6P OTA update to 7.1.1 now 2016 Honda Accord has issues with phone calls. No caller ID on head unit. The head unit rings & rings even after I manually answer the phone. I have to hit the ignore button on the screen to get the head unit to stop ringing. Then I cannot use the head unit for anything (radio, satellite, streaming) until I turn off the bluetooth in the phone.
WTF Google?
Same problem here on my Renault clio 4 with medianav system. Phone just keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over. The headset on my motorcycle helmet (Maginon MBH-100) just functions like normal.

Guys if you have a Honda vehicle don't worry 7.1.1 works perfectly
I following the topic on Google Nexus Help Forum, here is the announcement of the Nexus Community Manager.
"‏Orrin - Nexus Community Manager:
Hey Everyone,
Thank you for your reporting your issues with bluetooth connectivity on 7.1.1. We made certain changes to support a communication standards upgrade in 7.1.1, which seem to have resulted in interoperability issues for some users. We have identified a fix which we should be able to release soon.
Some of you have mentioned that reverting back to 7.0 Nougat fixes the issue, so that is an option to try until the issue is fully resolved in a future OTA update.
We will keep you all updated!"

Bluetooth Issues with the Last 7.1.1 Update (117MB)

Hi guys, I have BT connectivity issues after the last update (7.1.1) on my Tab 3 Plus. The last update solved the AF camera issue but screw up my BT connectivity.
Most mice do no connect and if does are extremely laggy, impossible to use it.
I already tried a hard reset but I didn't have any luck.
Any idea?
Worst thing about latest update is battery drain

Android 10 Bluetooth Problem

I'm wondering if anyone has issues with and solutions for bluetooth connectivity problems. Specifically, constant dropouts and stuttering.
Background of problem
I recently purchased my phone, which was already on Android 10 (Build QP1A.190711.122). From the start, bluetooth has been unbearable: if I move the phone in any way, or I move the connected bluetooth device (headphones, earbuds, speakers, etc.) it stutters and cuts out momentarily. Sometimes the stuttering continues incessantly. In short, my bluetooth is useless for listening to audio, making phone calls, etc. I basically have to be next to be perfectly still and right next to the phone, and even then it may act up.
Failed troubleshooting efforts
I installed the September update, rooted the phone and tried various options many times, including:
*Hard resetting the phone
*Flashing and re-flashing the stock rom several times (even after full wipes)
*Wiping the cache in recovery
*Clearing the bluetooth cache
*Playing with the bluetooth options in Developer Options
*Unpairing and re-pairing various bluetooth devices
I'm lost and wondering if the gyroscope is messing with bluetooth connectivity in someway. I have no idea whatsoever.
Thoughts and comments appreciated.
@droctii
I have not had an issue like this, sounds like a low power/weak signal issue or interference or conflicting devices
Which sounds like this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/help/awful-bluetooth-connection-t3713280
users report 2 or 3 fixes scanning through thread
Same here. bluetooth connectivity has rather worsened since android 10.
however the recent ota updates on android 9 have been a hit or miss since march 2019. Before that, bt was working perfectly fine.
Coming back to android 10, as an example, the link with my bose soundwear with minor exceptions had been really strong bt -wise but since the update I get even with it random disconnects, and infrequent stutter/cuts etc. The same for my sony wh1000x m3, it behaves a little better but only using sbc codec, so i stick to that. However, older devices such as my car's bt, tv soundbar or even google mini when phone's just next to it are unusable with this phone. Also, the more crowded an environment (interference-wise) more likely to experiment issues.
For comparison, all other older phones I have still work fine within same parameters
I haven't taken my PH-1 to A10 yet, but my pixel 3XL had been struggling with Bluetooth. Today is the first time it's been useable, but I made a bunch of random changes in developer options. I haven't worked out which had helped. FWIW, I'm attaching a screen shot of the settings I'm using.

A lot of Bluetooth devices don't implement the protocols properly, especially on the cheaper side. You disabled A2DP so that probably helped.
You should be able to enable A2DP but use the highest version of AVRCP available, yours seems rather low. Should work fine.

What makes you think A2DP is disabled? The hardware handoff is disabled. Not the same thing. And that is the solution to my stuttering and disconnect issues. Toggling that makes the problems come and go.
Same problem on my car with 1+7pro and android10, music is discontinued, or freezed, stuttered...
But for me line with disable bt ad2p hardware offload is greyed and swith is to left

You would be better served looking/posting in your own device forum. This is the Essential PH-1 and your software is very different.
I have had such problems with various devices and while disabling A2DP offload always solved the problem, so did playing around with the AVRCP versions.
My essential phone has been sitting on my desk for the last 3 months due to these insolvable bluetooth issues. Neither AVRCP nor A2DP solved the issues, the bluetooth is stuttering constantly when I move my phone around and not in direct sight of my receiver(s).
I tried 3 different wireless earbuds and they all suffer from random stutters or disconnects if I'm actively walking with my phone. The closer the phone is to my upper body, the better the signal is (most of the time). If I connect my phone to any Bluetooth device at home or in the car where the phone isn't moving, the connection is perfect. I've tried the different methods mentioned in this thread and nothing fixes it. I've given up and just hoping my next phone doesn't suffer from the same thing.
