BT connectivity issues - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S8 Plus running on Oreo rooted, although I have an issue witv Bluetooth and I don't know if it's hardware or software related.
Basically, whenever I turn on Bluetooth, I can't see my paired devices, for instance I have a Gear S3 watch and whenever I turn on BT my phone cannot detect it even though it's already paired, the only way for me to connect it is by launching the Gear app and clicking on connect, and each time it asks for the pairing permission. I do also have BT earphones and the only way I can connect them is by resetting my earphones that way they can be detected by my phone.
This is so weird, does anyone else experience this issue?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Bluetooth and Huawei Smart Watch

Hi all,
I got a Huawei Smart Watch a few weeks ago.
For some reason when it's connected to the Nexus 6P with Bluetooth Audio switched on in the Watch, it won't connect to the Car's Bluetooth when the car is switched on.
Is anyone having this same issue? is there anyway of fixing it apart from turning off the Bluetooth Audio function on the watch?
Surely the phone could priorities the Car's Bluetooth. I don't seem to see this issue with either other watches or phones.
Im not sure if the device has a way to set priority of BT items but IIRC, you can only connect one type of BT device at a time. I have a Samsung gear Live watch which runs android wear. it stays connected all of the time and I can still connect to my truck BT radio. But you cannot connect headphones and a speaker to BT at the same time. just dont work that way.

Bluetooth issues since security update

Hello,
I have noticed that since the security update I am having issues with my bluetooth. It will not automatically reconnect to paired devices like my car and headphones. Sometimes it will connect but the option to transmit phone/media audio is unselectable. When this happens, it appears to be connected, but the music will come from the phone, not bluetooth connection. The only solution I have found is to reboot my phone. Is anyone else having trouble with this? Totally stock.

I have been having the exact same issue and the only fix has been a reboot.

You're not alone. Seems there is a workaround.
I'm experiencing the same issue with any BT audio device it won't stay connected to my Android Wear.
What version? I'm on 25.211.1 reflashed modem and Bluetooth package things are fine so far.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Bluetooth issues

Update @ 22-04-2017:
Somehow.... the Bluetooth issue just fixed itself.. I didn't change any settings.
It just started to function normally the next day!
It's still a mystery to me... but I'm glad it works fine now
______________________________________________________________________________
Hi,
I just got my S8 and I love it! Everything works well.. except:
When pairing the S8 via Bluetooth with my Parrot MK6100 carkit it won't sync the contacts from the phone to the carkit and when I play audio it streams it all scrambled.
The audio trough the carkit sounds like the phone is very far away and it's about to loose the connection. Actually the connection with the phone was dropped a few times while streaming audio. This only happend when I paired the phone the first time. The distance between both devices is about 30 centimeters...
Normal voice calls are ok.
The carkit has the latest firmware version 1.03a. I already did a reset to factory settings.
It works fine with other smartphones like my previous Sony Xperia Z3 and LG G4 running Android 6.0.1.
Samsung customer service was unable to help me with this issue. According to them, no other complains have been registered about Bluetooth issues with the S8 so far. At least in the Netherlands.
Streaming audio to other Bluetooth devices from the S8 does work fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? Could it be Android 7.0.1 or maybe the S8 itself, as it features Bluetooth 5.0??
And of course, any ideas on how to fix it?
Thnx,
Lorand
hi! Same issues on my S8+. Bluetooth doesnt send notifications to smart watch, also doesn't auto connect to BMW. And cant find any solutions ..

Bluetooth OP5 problem with Audi and Samsung Gear S3

Hi All,
My OP5 is amazing and i am very happy with it, there is only one flaw right now.
I have my Gear S3 smartwach always connected to my OP5 and that seems to work all the time.
Im on 4.5.5 and sometimes the bluetooth turns randomly OFF, especially when i jump into my car, then it connects to my infotainment system and after a call or a skip of a song my bluetooth on OP5 turned off.
This happens randomly, sometimes its working...
Its not a big deal so i just need to turn it on again and click on connect to my audi, then it works.
I dont know if its because of my double connection with my watch or a little bug...
Did you experience anything like this aswell?
thank you guys.
Hi have a similar problem with a skoda Octavia.
I had the same thing happen with my S7 edge before the op5. So I don't think it's necessarily an issue with oxygen os. I use Tasker to setup a profile so whenever it disconnects it'll automatically reconnect.

thank you for the tip, i still need some help with it, so i have 2 devices in bluetooth setting, gear S3 and Audi, Gear S3 is always connected, when audio turns on, it is not connecting automatically, only when gear s3 is turned off it connects automatically.
Now i need to setup a task where BT connects to the Audi as soon it sees the audi in settings..how guys?
Thank you!

I have BT connection problems too in my car.
If i set up the BT connection just for calls it works ok. But if i setup the connection for calls and media (music streaming) the connection to my car fails most of the times. Sometimes it makes my radio reboots! If i reconnect manually from the car menus it connects, but its annoying to do this almost all the time i enter in my car.
This is the only phone that has this problem in my car (Skoda Octavia)

Bluetooth pairing issues

I'm having problems during the initial pairing of any BT device. The phone finds no BT devices at all. Turning BT off/on doesn't work. Toggling airplane mode fixes the issue for the time being and allows pairing. It's only slightly annoying since once the device is paired, it connects without a problem.
Is anyone else facing this issue? The update from this week didn't fix the issue. The phone is stock.

No issues at all. Pairs perfectly with galaxy 2 watch, car stereo, headset and home speaker system..

I don't have the same issue, but I can't seem to be able to pair the device with my car. It connects to both of my Bluetooth headphones just fine. The car name shows up in my Bluetooth devices list under pairing mode, but when I click it, nothing happens. Let me know if anyone else is having a similar problem.
I'm having the exact same issue with two 6Ts, one from T-Mobile and the other directly from OnePlus. Both are up to date with regards to firmware.
Its almost like the Bluetooth stack is crashing sometime after booting or cycling airplane mode because it works for a little while and then stops.
Same issue here.
Doesn't see some devices.
Constantly re-asks if I will share my contacts with my car.
My pixel 2 didn't have these issues with the same devices, so I know it's just the op6t.
Had this issue. Glad there was a work around. What a pain in the neck.
Same having BT issues where it loses the pairing and I have to repair device.
BT Connection Drop
I am having the same problem of connectivity dropping and then getting reconnected all of a sudden. Can anyone tell me how to fix this for now? Also, any planned upgrades in future for the same?
People, I need help. I can't pair my oneplus 6t with any Bluetooth device. Whenever I try to pair it says: couldn't pair with XXX because of incorrect PIN or passkey. I tried every possible solution I found on the internet (reset Bluetooth, reset phone, reset network settings, wipe cache, etc) and no luck. All Bluetooth devices are functional and I am able to connect them to my Samsung phone, but no luck with oneplus 6t. I am running oxygenOs 9.0.13 and none of my Bluetooth devices has the pin code. Please help, this is really frustrating ?
