Ever since getting my OnePlus 6T, the Bluetooth has only ever been able to connect to my Mi band and my Sony headset. However, it kick out computers and phones. I have tried connecting to my brother's OnePlus 6T, my friend's LG phone, my Thinkpad, another friend's Pixel 2, and a Chromebook; but all the same result. My phone successfully connects for about 5 seconds, but then kicks the other device off. If I try to reconnect from the remembered list of devices, the red "Connect" button does not do anything except show my tap's splash animation. Forgetting the device and trying to reconnect leads to the original problem. I have tried clearing the data of Bluetooth from the apps and I have also reset my Bluetooth/Wifi settings from the System menu, but the problem still persists.
Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution to this problem?
Thanks

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. ?

I've used 3 different phones with my FM radio bluetooth receiver - a device I am forced to use, as my cars bluetooth is too old - it connects for phone calls, but wont connect to my phone to play audio files, hence why i use this device.
LG v20 - no problems. P10 Plus? Different story.
Mid-song over the bluetooth device, it suddenly de-syncs itself and the audio starts playing over the phones loud speaker. Completely unprompted. So I disconnect the bluetooth device inb my car, turn it back on....then it suddenly reconnects with the phone and continues playing the audio without interruption inside my car. This happens several times over a 30-45 minute period.
Bluetooth should just be bluetooth, right!? Can this be a quality control problem? An issue to do with unlocking the device or installing something like TWRP? This combined with the aweful features/stock apps of EMUI 5.1 is really destroying the experience for me. Anyone else had same or similar issues?

I dont have this problem. Bluetooth is very strong and very stable. Try updating your phone firmware it might help
EMUI is very decent. If you dont like the layouts given, you are on android. So easy to slap on a different launcher.

I'd argue that EMUI is one of the main things that stand in the way for more people to switch over to Huawei. That, and quality control. I possibly have a dodgy phone, its just this device I am using has not had problems with 2 other smartphones.
I will update the firmware to 151 (latest in my region) as soon as I know how to do it safely (boot unlock, TWRP and root installed - dont want to lose any)

Similar Bluetooth problem with Huawei p10
I have similar problem with Huawei 10. Bluetooth connection doesn't work with my built in Media system. All other phone devices connect and work fine, but Huawei p10 doesn't work. I just posted my issue here on YouTube. You can find it by searching 'Huawei p10 Bluetooth problem'.
having same issue as yours. music wont play through bluetooth. :/
temp solution is delete cache in bluetooth share in APP and restart your device. but that only works for one time. if you want to connect another time, must do the same steps. I am sure it is a software bug
try powering the device off then hold volume up and power the phone on at the same time and keep holding volume up until you see a EMIUI recovery mode from there select Delete Cache data and when thats done click on Restart/Reboot the device then see if problem remains. I had todo this steps few times when google play store would hang on "Downloading..." status now and then, But when I got B170 firmware for my p10 plus it sorta fixed it and now installs properly.
P.S my issue is different but you never know, this might even fix the bluetooth issue. So it's worth a try.
Can someone please tell me how to connect to paired devices on my P2?
As stated, pairing works fine, but how do you actually make a paired device connect? I can't find any option in the EMUI!?
Since the previous two updates on my Verizon V20 were installed (VS99518A & VS99519A) running 7.0 , I have been having bluetooth issues where there are momentary pauses while connected to BT earphones and random "rustling" sounds when I am connected to my car stereo (A2DP). There are even times the bluetooth does not reconnect (have to manually select the paired device at the pop-up).
I have already performed a factory reset and it still happens. These issues do not occur on other android phones so it can't be my stereo and bt earphones' at fault.
Any ideas? What should I check?
Thanks.
I really wish I could help you. Ive been having the same issues. Please follow up if you figure it out and I will as well
Same here
The 7.0 update took a while to get to me but now that it has, I'm not impressed and wish I could revert.
Immediately after I started noticing the same issues as OP. In addition, I can no longer BT FTP send to my desktop but I can receive from the desktop.
I've tried quite a number of things to resolve but none have. Several soft resets, hard reset, network reset, factory reset, reset of desktop settings (although apparently not needed a SIM-less Galaxy S4 does NOT have issues with BT FTP to the same desktop....
Attempting to pair the two, the S4 can see the V20 but the V20 does not recognize the S4.
I believe it is 7.0 update related because all was fine prior and the issues were noticed just 20 minutes after.
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.

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.
