Bluetooth Problems on X1

Hi,
hopefully anyone has an answer to the strange bluetooth behaviour of my X1.
The first device is a bluetooth headset from Sony. It works good, if bluetooth is activated. But after some time of not using the headset, the phone just switches off bluetooth. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes days after my last use of the headset. I tried all settings of the bluetooth-settings with no change. And it sucks if with the next phone call the headset cannot connect anymore because bluetooth was switched off.
The second device is a GNS TrafficBox Plus FM9BT-Y. Somehow MN7 does not detect the device directly, so I have to use the workaround with the serial port and outgoing connection on COM1.
The initial minutes the connection works fine, but then stops and is not restored.
Here as well trying different settings changed nothing.
How can I find out the address of the bluetooth devices?
Is there a tool to further test bluetooth connections (like what speed can be used, the address of the device, etc)
Regards

Im using Itjes Touch 7 final & i have the same problem - infact i've had it with the last 3 of his roms with my blutooth to SEAT car. I'll be on a call in my car & it switches the blutooth off without warning. generally after about 10 minutes of actual call time. But it doesnt disconnect unless during a call ? There is no rhyme or reason to it, it just sometimes happens?
So any further info will be appreciated

I have Ra2generic DE with the 1.10 radio ROM on it.
At the beginning it was fantastic not having the bluetooth issue. Everything was working so extremely goood... no switching off, no disconnecting of and from the bt headset,, etc...
After a while the issue was here again...damn! So the bt became not very useful in its functionalities.... then I saw that it was not possible to see through my bt freespeech device in the car the last calls on the phone... hm, ok I said. There were lot of calls (incoming, outgoing, missed, etc) on the list...I erased them all...
Now it is working in a perfect way.... no disconnecting, no switching off..and this with the stock ROM and Radio ROM.
I tried it a few months before posting it here... now I'm cleaning up my calling list every 2nd day (I really call a lot) and I have no problems..
Hope it works for you..

i have the same problem, the bluetooth disconect without any reason, i have tried more than 10 Roms and i dont have any solution

I hardreseted the device, installed the newest official firmware, deleted the calling list and with great expectations checked bluetooth behaviour.....nothing changed for me
But great it works for you and thanks for the tip

Come on people..... please someone help us with this

Bluetooth with clarion mind
Am having trouble connecting with my new Clarion MIND - is seems the phone does not see the profiles (very similar to the phone adding the older SE Bluetooth Watch, the 100). Has anyone built a .cab to sort this out?

Bluetooth failing under stress?

Any of you have a problem with Bluetooth failing? I've noticed that while tethering, if I'm doing anything particularly high-bandwidth, Bluetooth utterly fails. For example, while downloading torrents, watching youtube videos, or video calling, my connection fails and I need to soft reset my phone before it'll work again.
If I try turning Bluetooth off, then on again before a soft reset, the phone hangs at the "turn Bluetooth on?" query screen and doesn't turn it back on. After a reboot, everything's fine till it fails again. It's not my data connection, because I can still browse the web from my phone.
dartinbout in the eXpo users' group seems to have been having similar problems with his stereo Bluetooth headset.
I also seem to recall having similar problems with WMWifiRouter as well, but I can't test it anymore as my trial period has run out.

my bluetooth fails when listening to music on a stereo headset. i have to reset and reconnect after it stops playing and freezes.
when i try to use wmwifirouter it does not show a 3g to bluetooth option and internet sharing bluetooth pan will not work.
a few times i have turned on my phone and it said failed to load bluetooth stack. it also has given a similar error when bluetooth was on but not in use.
i hope the custom roms can have different bluetooth stacks more like the htc bluetooth stacks

You know what, after dealing with this problem for a while, that sounds exactly like the problem I'm having. WMWifiRouter will stop working after a while, and when I restart the phone I get the same errors. Internet Connection Sharing fails when I watch videos, very, very often while I'm watching YouTube or trying to video chat with someone. I actually watch my data transfer go from downloading and uploading to absolute 0.
I haven't contacted LG about it yet, but it's driving me nuts... >_<
EDIT: Just to double check, nev310, when your bluetooth fails, are you also using it to tether, either through WMWifiRouter, or through ICS? I ask because I use bluetooth for music at work all day and it never fails, but when I come home and use either ICS or WMWR it fails between 1 to 10 (at last count) times, without using a bluetooth headset.

when it fails i am listening to music through a lg hsb-250 bluetooth headset at work with screen off using wmp. when i load wmwifirouter the 3g to bluetooth button is grayed out and i cannot use it. i have used 3g to wifi and when i close the connection and close wmwifirouter my phone acts like it doesnt even have wifi. doesnt show it in wireless manager at all i have to do a soft reset.
since i did a hard reset i have not had a bluetooth crash but it use to crash everyday sometimes only after a few minutes of listening to music.
the only way i can use bluetooth tethering is through the intenet sharing app after changing the registry to use media net but my car pc will say i have no internet access when connected, my laptop works fine..if this phone wasnt so fast all this would be a huge problem but i just deal with it. i hope it can be fixed in a rom update or cooked rom.
also.... (unrelated) the other day i turned on my htc fuze and waited for it to boot up tried to connect to wifi and load opera...took over a few minutes and the screen just feels weird and i have to hold it was up to my face i used it for over a year and now im like how did i use this phone lol. but what i did notice is i have a 6.1 rom on it and have more free ram than used ram(i think about 50mb used out of 203mb) so i started to see how many apps i could run with out them closing and running out of ram lol. all that free ram made me kinda want a 6.1 rom for the expo .i also wanted to make a thread to see what phones people had before their expo/iq

The bluetooth issue is one that I've had with my handset since I got the phone back in December. First when I would have my bt headset paired and I'd answer a phone or stream audio it would work fine. Then out of nowhere someone would call or I would make a call, and I couldn't hear anything through the headset. I would have to reset the bluetooth or reset the device. My phone would get hung on the "Turn Bluetooth on" screen just like yours does and I'd have to reset the phone. I have repeatedly talked to LG about this and they said I would have to send in the phone.
This also happens when I tether over bluetooth. It will work for a bit, but after a while even with no traffic the connection fails. The phone still says its connected though.
I bought a Tilt 2 from a user on ebay so I'm going to use that phone while my eXpo is away at LG. It appears to be hardware related though.

SPIDER, you better not leave eXpo forums. Hope it gets fixed!

lol. Nah, My wife has my Tilt that I upgraded from to the eXpo, and I'll give her my tilt 2 when I get the eXpo back. I will say though, LG could definitely learn a thing or two from HTC when it comes to smartphones. My expo so far has made me doubt my choice of it over the tilt 2 and my experience in the DAY that I've had the tilt2 has made me doubt my original choice even more. I'm hoping that once they fix it and I get back a fully functional phone I'll put those doubts to rest. I love the snapdragon and the possibilities that come with it, but I'd take the slower processor of the tilt2 over a snapdragon phone that doesn't work worth a damn most of the time.

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. ?

K88H and Mediatek SmartDevice : weird behaviour

Hey guys,
I got my K88H last week, and I've been trying to get it to work with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (intl) but I'm rather baffled by the way it is detected.
Bluetooth-wise, it is detected twice : once with the bluetooth icon (settings only allow to unpair or rename), and once with the keyboard icon (can set as input device, contact sharing, and phone/media audio).
If I want to access my SMS (which incidentally does not work, as I get a "Currently not support" message), it asks me to connect using BT, and activates the second entry (keyboard icon), even if the first was already connected. The first one looks like it is enough for notifications, though, and it is the one recognized by the Mediatek app (displayed in the "My Device" section).
Is there any kind of real documentation regarding the Mediatek SmartDevice app somewhere?
Does anyone have any clue as to how this stuff is set up?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Have you tried the Fundo Wear app? I could see my SMS, but the rest of the app was very subpar (always losing connection, no automatic reconnect, ...)

The plot thickens : after switching to Galapad Smartwear (virtually identical to Mediatek), SMS worked. Switching back to Mediatek, and it still works, but ... I have to allow the BT connection for phone audio. If I disable phone audio and media audio, the BT connection drops as soon as I try to read my SMS.

OnePlus 5 and Blue&Me connection problem after 30 seconds

Hello.
I have a problem. I have OnePlus 5 and Alfa Romeo Mito with built-in Blue & Me system. After i connect OP5 to the system and start new conversation via Bluetooth, OP5 after 30 second breake the connection and switch to microphone in phone. In other cars and other bluetooth devices there is no problem. Does anyone have this situation too? How to solve it?

Sure, but for me to replicate the problem, I'd have to solve my first problem, gotta go get myself an Alfa Romeo and then there's the other problem

Hi, my girlfriend is having exactly the same problem. I think this is a software related to Bluetooth retro compatibility (the Mito's bluetooth version is too much older comparing with the OnePlus 5 version) that can/could be corrected in a future OnePlus update. Please let me know if you find a solution meanwhile. I'll do the same.
