I am really pleased with my XDA 2s, that is until today. I purchased a Rikaline 1630 BT gps receiver and have tried all day to get a decent BT connection to Tomtom 3 with the thing. It connects OK, but as soon as I move the unit only 6 inches away from almost direct contact with my phone the connection drops to "Too weak" and eventually drops all together.
I have read various messages in this forum about the flakiness of the XDA 2s' BT. Is it the version of bluetooth which is at fault? Or do I have a duff XDA 2s? Or a duff GPS unit?
Can anyone advise me please? Is there an existing or future planned upgrade path for this version of BT?
Cheers

I have the same thing between the PDA2K and the Globalsat GPS. Not so bad as your problems, it holds the connections for about 10 minutes and falls.
XDA 11s
I too have the XDAs11 can you tell me the best way to unlock, currently on O2 and want to use my vodafone sim card

I have a galaxy note 4 and a KIA optima... The car always says "pairing failed" and I reconnect, which only lasts a few days if I am lucky...
This post is an attempt to collaborate and figure out a way to "fix" this issue...
Anyone have any ideas or anything that gas helped them not have this issue?
replace the car
here is some solutions for that
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-note-4-problems/10/
I really wish I would have known about this. My Subaru Forester doesn't even recognize media over BT. Phone BT fucntionality works fine, but it won't play/connect to media at all. Both on 4.4 and 5.0/5.0.1.
Worked for my GNote 2 over various ROMs/stock, worked for the wife's GS3 and HTC One M8. It's really frustrating.
Replace the car? Its actually a pretty damn amazing car... Thanks for the lack of good input...
Your link was for devices not connecting.... Mine connects just fine...
But, and it just happened again.... I'll restart my phone and the Bluetooth device (the KIA) is gone... Not even listed as a paid device anymore...
Hard to say that's a KIA problem...
I have a 2015 kia optima lx, without the nav package or the upgraded audio. My note 4 on NIE has no problem pairing or staying paired. It pairs automatically everytime i turn the car on (I see the downloading icon on the radio). My gf's note 4 also pairs fine and works fine. The car switches between primary and secondary phones seemlesly.
And i agree. Amazing little car.. sorry i cant offer any other info, except "mine works".
I dont know what year or model you have, but maybe a trip to the dealer and ask about any firmware upgrades for your headunit. or maybe better yet a trip to www.optimaforums.com and see if anyone else is having issues like you describe.
Optimaforums has a wealth of info from fellow optima enthusiests. You might find your info there if none here can be of help.
Only Android phone that fully (messaging) works with my car. Even on Lollipop
So... Going over my issue... And want to see if others have the same issue... I may have a solution/workaround...
Basically I pair my phone with my kia stereo... It will work fine for a few days... Then it will fail to connect... When I go to Bluetooth settings on my phone, the kia stereo is no longer listed...
Do others have this same issue??
Anyone else stream music over Bluetooth having "skipping"? Every few minutes there is a second where the music skips. This is connected in my car, an Infiniti jx35. Did not have this issue with my note 4.

Mine streams fine to my Sony HTIB and head unit in my 2009 335i. I remember reading a while ago there's a chance if you can't upgrade the radios software it can have problems. Even though my old note 2 streamed just fine in my BMW it would lag hard in my grandmother's 2010 Durango and be unusable but phone was fine.
Yeah, I'm thinking it's the car. I bought a Bluetooth adapter for the aux port, and it works a lot better.

Same here no proble. With s5, note 3, but skips and pauses when connected to car

I have also had the same thing with my moto buds Bluetooth headphones
Yes- getting the skipping every few seconds in my Infiniti g37x. I believe this is a known android issue that isn't yet completely resolved. It's random for me, but even a reboot doesn't always fix it.
Perhaps a known issue for Infinity? I stream in my Kia Soul with no issues.

I did a factory reset and it works fine now. I'm thinking it's really an Infiniti thing for my car which is a 2012. I'm going to call them to see if there's a firmware upgrade for my car for bluetooth.
Also skips in Mercedes e350. I think it's the car blutooth
I called Infiniti to see if there was a firmware upgrade for Bluetooth, they said no. Said all my computer updates were up to speed.
Also, the stutter is back - even after a factory reset. Ugh

I just got mine today. I'll hook it up to my QX tomorrow and see if it works
listened to an audible book in my '12 Infiniti QX and didn't notice a broblem
Update to this skipping issue with my 2012 g37x Infiniti.
1. Took car to infiniti dealer. No bluetooth updates available. We even went through all firmware updates to see if anything might be useful. Nothing.
2. Got a second Samsung Note 5 - sadly was able to replicate the issue. Still stutters every few seconds exactly as the first Note 5. Tested in about a dozen audio apps.
3. Heard back from Infiniti - they're able to replicate the issue, but don't know if it's an Infiniti issue or a Samsung Note 5 issue. The engineers are looking into it.
My guess is that bluetooth tech has evolved since 2012 and the car's firmware just needs a tweak.
If you have any ideas, let me know. Thanks!
I don't think it's limited to infinity. I've been experiencing issues since the most recent OTA on all of my bluetooth devices, including my pioneer head unit in my jaguar, my bluetooth Rev jams headphones, and my Plantronics bluetooth earpiece.
In addition, I use a Gear Live smart watch and it's constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. These issues all started right after the update. There is a thread on android central about this as well so we are not alone. Samsung broke something and hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I am currently using an Note 4 and experience the same problem. Both with my car and my Jaybirds wireless earbuds. My guess, it's an Android problem as I've exhausted all methods of troubleshooting this.
Try this, keep your screen on and see if that resolves your skipping problem. It's a dumb solution but until Samsung/Android can resolve the problem, there are not a whole lot of options.
0 bluetooth issues with mine. 2015 car.
I'm having major issues all of a sudden. I've had the phone since launch day. And out of no where about 2 weeks ago I've had issues with the Bluetooth with all my devices from my 14 silverado stock radio and also with the new Alpine 957bt I put in here. Same issues as well as my LG tones and bose Bluetooth Speaker. Once I cover the phone with my hand or if it's in my pocket it cuts out constantly. I feel like it happened right after the recent ota update. I'll be reformatting the phone here soon once everything is backed up. So I know it's the phone for sure.
Update: Alright I did the restore in the phone it didn't work unfortunately I'm gonna try contacting Samsung and see what they can do.

Been having same issue and with WiFi it keeps connecting and disconnecting major issues with Bluetooth same as WiFi but also keeps skipping on music and when on phone the other end can not hear me tried 4 different devices
I had the same issue and had to send my note 5 to Samsung for repairs. They replaced the motherboard. I havent had the issue return.
Been using my Note 5 with a LG headset from new and no issues and a couple of weeks ago got a Gear S2 watch.
All good but all of a sudden getting skipping on the headset and Bluetooth dropping out on the watch.
Irritating must say.

I'm wondering what to do, should I sent it in for repair? I've had it about a month. Since day 1 I've noticed a few issues. First Bluetooth has been terrible and would disconnect from my car. Well would say connected but would start playing over phone speakers. Also when using GPS apps such as Google Maps the phone would restart. Also I keep getting GPS signal lost over and over in both Google Maps and Pokémon Go. I tried reinstalling different versions of of Oxygen and they help for a few hours but then the issues start up again. I've also tried CM 13 and the issue still persists. I have ordered a shipping label from One Plus. I know RMA is a nightmare but do you think I should do it? What will they do when they get the phone?
got sensors problem, no proximity, compass, camera started to lag. reflashed stock rom, still the same. ordered rma, today checked at Arvato, they replaced motherboard and sended back phone to me. it was repaired in Germany, tooked 4 work days till dispatch. If your phone isn't 15 days old from purchase, i recommend to get replacement instead of repair. Good luck
Unfortunately it's been more then 15 days. Thanks for the info though. I was wondering what the process was. I just don't know what else I could do to fix it other then send it in.
I also have issues from time to time with bluetooth. I'm currently on CM btw. If I connect my phone to my car, it shows connected and also the bluetooth volume is available but it does not play music at all.I have to reboot and everything is fine but I found also a workaround. If I start playing music before connecting it worked 100% of the time... Very strange... My GPS disconnects didn't went to zero with cm but it's a lot better. With OOS I had disconnects like every 15 min and with CM randomly every few days.
Do you have another device you are ok with using if your phone is off to RMA for a week or more?
Support is pretty good they'll fix it. Just have to have a spare should that be an issue.
You'll need to create a OnePlus account and register your device. Should be there if you bought from them directly. Then open a ticket. Turn around time was like 10-15 days depending on the issue. I've had a good experience.
Experience was alright. Their repair center is in Texas so should be alright.
I've had 50 phones and could pair every one on my 2010 Silverado. Can't pair the Pixel XL. It seems to pair at first but on the phone it goes from connected to disconnected before the call connects, any ideas? I've never seen this before. BTW I have Regular Pixel and it has the exact same behavior. Nexus 6P was my last phone and that never had issues.
Edit; So the pixel XL is on 7.1 and my 6P that works in on 7.0

You can you need to do it manually from the car. I had a similar issue with my Hyundai Genesis 2011. You need to go to your cars GPS monitor and look for setup or phone add device. Might be where it tells you cars Bluetooth pairing password. Then refresh your pixels Bluetooth and boom paired.

No issues pairing my Pixel XL to my '15 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack with Uconnect. Connected up first try.
Silverado
I'm having the exact same issue with my 2013 Silverado. I have it paired but it doesn't stay connected. Hope there's a fix, this will be a deal breaker for me.
No problem with my VW.

Paired fine with my aftermarket adapter in my car. I did have to turn it off and back on though to get it to be recognized as an available device, but no issues connecting after that.

Paired fine with my 2012 F150.
no issue with my VW GTI
Opened the Bluetooth settings on the XL, selected the VW, entered the stupid 0000 code. Paired.
No issue, no different than anything previously.
I had to toggle bluetooth on and off a few times before I could get it to pair with my 2013 F150. It would say "Could not communicate with SYNC" on the phone. But now that it's paired, It works fine.
Paired perfectly with my 16 Ford Focus ST
I noticed Bluetooth is a little funky with my xl... Not sure if it's software or hardware but Bluetooth is definitely slower on the xl then a 6p. Takes a few tries to connect or see other devices and connecting will sometimes randomly fail. Once connected everything works perfectly.
No problem with 2014 Porsche.
Silverado - new topic
OP, we might want to make a new thread titled Silverado. Seems awfully strange it's just you and I so far having a problem and we both have Silverados. I think a new thread labeled connecting pixel to Silverado might grab some attention and maybe we can get some Silverado and pixel owners replying.
I did make an attempt to contact Google support for this issue. Pretty lame steps they had me do, remove all BT devices , reboot, readd just Silverado (still failed) reboot phone in safe mode and try to connect ( failed) next they are asking me to do a factory reset on the phone or contact gm for help. I've never had any issues with BT in my truck till this phone. As a matter of fact I can connect find using my old devices.
I'll wait a few hours to see if you started a new thread if not I'm going to start one specific to Silverado and pixel BT.

I tried the stuff you mentioned still no go for me. What are the odds, my 2 brand new Pixels no bluetooth plus yours. I put a bug report here so let's see if they look at it. Go ahead and do the new thread good idea.

Can confirm Bluetooth connectivity issues with Pixel on Buick Regal '12 (GM vehicle). I'll try it on Mazda CX5 '16 tomorrow but there is definitely something wrong with Pixel BT at the moment. I can pair it without issues but connection permanently drops within 2-3 seconds every time.
Before Pixel, I had iP6, N5X, N5, Galaxy Nexus all paired on this same car and running perfectly stable. Digging around forums, seems like N6P and Pixel have a lot of BT issues.
Paired just fine with my 2011 Hyundai sonata
My guess is the problem isn't with the Pixel, it's likely with the GM Bluetooth setup given that it seems to work with everything else.
