Hi ,
I am on stock version 4.1.1 and I am facing some issues with Bluetooth connectivity. I managed to connect my hands-free device but it disconnected and reconnected from time to time.
Any idea how to overcome this issue?

Is anyone else having issues with their bluetooth keyboard when paired with the Nexus 7? I have an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it repeats characters, and inserts the spaces out of order.
(Yes I'm aware of External Keyboard Helper, and it does help but it makes my typing laggy)

I can't even get to pair with my Motorola 89451N. I am guessing it's firing off random characters during the pairing security process.
These are exactly the type of issues I was hoping to avoid with a Nexus device. Google needs to up their QA

I have a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard with the same issues. My Bluetooth mouse is fairly unless as well.
Here's hoping it gets straightened out soon...

There is a bug filed with Google which might be relevant, but it doesn't give much hope of quick resolution because it has been open for about a year.
My Logitech keyboard works well with my (non-Nexus) phone with CM10, but a different build of the ROM with a newer kernel has issues.
I've renamed the keyboard file, and I still have issues with characters repeating and lag. I think the issue might be the Bluetooth connection being flaky.
The lag is most noticeable in SSH apps
EDIT: I traced this problem to an issue with WiFi+Bluetooth. When I tether to my phone and turn WiFi off, my keyboard acts as it should. I'm not happy with this workaround, but at least I can get some work done.

maybe try finding a keyboard ime and enabling it so it profiles the keyboard input.

Verified. I stopped using my Apple Keyboard with my N7 for this reason. It worked perfectly with the previous gen N7 (2012).
Thank God CM 10.1 added support on the Nook HD+ last week! Yay for CyanogenMod!!
Ironically, my crappy knockoff Chinese BT keyboards work perfectly. It's the exact same as the Saxony Bluetooth Keyboard on Amazon, but I bought it off the boat from China.
My Microsoft Mouse 5000 is also very sketchy with BT on the N7. Again, works perfectly on Nook CynogenMod, and previous N7 (2012).

I have the same problem with my Logitech bluetooth keyboard. It works fine until I turn on wifi, after which is starts disconnecting and reconnecing every few seconds. It's completely unusable. Didn't have this problem with the same keyboard on my Nexus 10 or Nexus 7 (2012).
Typing this on my HP Touchpad Keyboard. No disconnects or erratic key behavior here. Some of the function keys don't work as expected, but volume up/down, media keys, and power key works just fine in additon to the normal array of keys. Running CM10.2 unofficial nightly 8/12 and elementalX 0.9 kernel. Had stock for like 3 hours so i didn't get a chance to try the keyboard out with that.

So I called Google support (24 hour line) and spoke to them about the keyboard issue
(I too have an apple bt keyboard)
from my understanding of what they told me, bluetooth 2.0 (which many keyboards run on) is running at about 2.385Ghz band while the 2.4Ghz wifi band is there very near it. In fact, it is near enough that it will interfere with the polling.
I asked why it doesnt happen with my SGS4 SGH-I337 (aka AT&T version) and they told me it is because it (the SGS4) is running a Qualcom processor, whereas the N7 (Flo) is running a Snapdragon processor.
Last i heard of the Snapdragon processors, they were integrating Bluetooth and Wifi onto the same processing chip which would make sense as to why we have the bluetooth lag.
The rep advised me to try out and/or get a bluetooth 3.0 or higher keyboard saying that should alleviate the problem. This would make sense as to why some people are having this issue while others are not (such as the logitech K810 keyboard)
Just my 2 pennies
I'm using Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard (BT) with External Keyboard Helper Pro and I don't have any problem.
I'm using the wedge as well. No problems at all.

This is one annoying problem. Have tried all the BT keyboards I have and they all have the repeating char issue.
Same keyboards were all working on my N10 previously on CM10.1 (aka 4.2.2). Have not tried it since updating to CM10.2 since my daily driver is now the 2013 N7. I'm going to try this and see if it is an issue with 4.3 or something specific to 2013 N7.
I have to say it's been so nice taking the BT keyboard for granted. Having to type on the virtual keyboard onscreen is such a pain.

Works (mac alu kb, german layout + nexus7 lte, original untouched rom JLS36C) in any combination of BT, Wifi or 3G without issues here.

I even type this post in the n7's chrome browser right now :victory:
Hi:
My Perixx folding BT keyboard doesn't work with 4.3 period, not on the Nexus 7 2013 nor Nexus 7 2012. My friend is using it on his Nexus 7 2012 running 4.22, not yet upgrading to 4.3.
On 4.3 it pairs but the keyboard won't type anything, a paper-weight.

So it's quite likely this isn't fixable via software and the only way around it is either to replace the keyboard with a BT3.0 device OR upgrade your router to one which supports 5.0ghz wifi?
I have the same issue with everyone here.
My keyboard is Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard which using Bluetooth 3.0 technology but it no help
I've have a GS4 & a GN2 and both send metadata just fine for me over bluetooth, such as my modded pandora that will send the track info, Well on my GN3, metadata crashes bluetooth sent by pandora & spotify. Google's Music Player sends just fine. I've came across a few others with the same issue as well, I've tried using the stock Pandora player to see if Android 4.3 implemented the AVRCP 1.3 correctly and no metadata was transmitted. Has anyone came across this issue?

I have an ATT SM-N900A Note 3 and have tested it with my Ford Focus 2013 and I have the same problem. No track data is listed. Where is used to work when I would use my Galaxy S3 phone running a stock Android 4.3 rom. I have a similar thread going in the ATT Gnote 3 forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473555
On a side note (pun intended) I had a buddy of mine bring his Tmobile Note 3 over to test on my car and I got the same results. I was able to see texts messages, but I got no track metadata sent over from either Pandora or BeyondPod where it works with my previous phone.
Hope that helps confirm the issue here for ya as well.

I noticed the same thing. It worked great on 4.3 AOSP ROMs on my Note 2 but not on stock 4.3 on Note 3.

I've tried all versions of pandora modded AVRCP & all crashed bluetooth on my TMO Note 3, I've heard the same for modded spotify as well. No issues with any other phones though. I've tested on multiple bluetooth receiving devices, the newest modded pandora will crash bluetooth when its not even connected. Only crashes when meta data is sent.
This is frustrating
Any idea how we can fix this?
Unfortunately, I'm thinking we may have to wait for custom Roms, or a fix from Samsung. Either way, I hope we get something quick.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 and having the same problems. I can stream music to my pioneer avh-x8500bhs but no data is being shown. If I use the google music app it works fine. I also noticed that the appradio app does not connect at all through bluetooth. I am thinking that somehow it is connected to this problem. I tried custom roms and custom kernels but still not working correctly.

I have the same exact issue with Pandora. I didn't know what was causing it so I submitted a ticket with Pandora and nothing was able to work. This functionality was working when I had the Note 2. Hopefully Samsung comes out with a fix for this.
My nexus 7 2013 is not rooted and runs stock Android 5.0.1. Ever since Android 4.3 it does not read any nearby Bluetooth devices (my bluetooth mw600 nor my phone).
Does anybody else have this issue or a way to solve it? I have been searching the web for ages and no such solution was found.

Mine has always worked fine, you might have a hardware issue. The only thing I can suggest is use a factory image to return it to stock and see what happens. If it's still broke, might need to send it in for repairs.
No BT issues for me with Lollipop on neither N7 nor N5. I use them with BT speakers, BT headphones, android wear and a car.
I started to have issues with Bluetooth audio streaming since I got the ota update to 5.0.1

My Bluetooth audio streaming to a UE boom will hang at random on 5.0.1 . I flashed back to 4.4.4 and all is well.

I had not problems yet. But still have not tried 5.*
I've noticed here lately that my Bluetooth devices don't automatically reconnect after I've turned them off and then try to use them again. I have to run pairing again. Stock November, custom kernel... But this happens to me on pure stock too..
I have the same issue. Can't remember paired car audio device. I have to manually connect everytime...it is pretty annoying. Let's hope december update will fix this.

No problem whatsoever on stock November with stock Kernel (2017 Audi A4 MMI plus).
But I did have issues in the past, Bluetooth is a mess. Usually a new patch fixes or breaks things ?
I have 2007 mazdaspeed 3. But the radio unit is not original, as the original one doesn't have bt. On my previous galaxy s8 everything worked well. So I suppose radio is alright. Once the pixel is connected, there aren't any issues ( maybe some little skips here and there) but no complete disconnects or something.
