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.

[Q] Bluetooth pairing no longer working with official ICS update => What should I do
Hi guys,
I upgraded my Arc S and it's now running the official ICS update from Sony.
But now I can't pair my car's bluetooth system anymore (Alfa Blue&Me system).
The phone can see the bluetooth car kit but can't pair with it: tries for one second and stops, never even prompts for the pin code.
This worked perfectly in GB.
Other phones (samsung galaxy s2 and htc one x) with ICS do work with the car, so it's something with this ROM.
Could I resolve this issue by trying another ROM ?
Has this anything to do with the baseband version (70) ?
Any advice is welcome !
I got this problem before I also blamed for Sony too
But I found a solution finally
Try to deauthorize and reauthorize your phone again
The old setting of your phone conflict with ics
Hi,
I did that already, completely wiped the config from the car but won't pair

My wife's galaxy nexus bluetooth worked flawlessly on 4.2.1 (not so good on 4.2) ,however, after the 4.2.2 update her BT connection has been skipping like mad when listening to music in the car. Anyone else experience this??

same problem
I've had this problem since i got this phone. I was able to resolve it by editing the Bluetooth.conf file in the etc folder for ICS, but that file is no longer present in 4.2.x. I was really hoping that 4.2.2 would fix this issue, because of the expected Bluetooth fixes. I can confirm it has not solved my problem. What fixed it for ICS was enabling hfp. Hfp is used for phone calls, but i guess it causes problems with a2dp when both connected.
Turns out her USB Port on the nexus is faulty causing the music to start and stop... I ordered a new one and I'll see if that fixes it

First of all I always start my morning drive with music, I commute using a motorbike and so the only hassle free method of driving would be via bluetooth.
Previously on my Nexus 4, I am able to stream music flawlessly, as the phone is placed in my pants pocket and the bluetooth headset within my helmet.
My current dilemma being replicating the same thing with the M8. Not only does it stutter and music sounds choppy, but there are times the music completely stops. Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?
ROM: Pure Stock Sense 4.4.3
I have a Nolan N104 with Bluetooth integrated and was having the same problems as you have...so I decided to root update my firmware S-Off the M8...
Install Viperrom... No more issues...

Not sure anyone will be able to help with this appreciate its a long shot, i've bought a Garmin Vivosmart fitness tracker and it connects to the phone via Bluetooth, now it all works mint except if i go out of range with the bluetooth the phone and garmin are supposed to reconnect automatically but it doesn't i have to unpair and then repair which isn't the end of the world but is a pain in the backside, looking on the garmin forums lots of people with M8's saying the same so there seems to be an issue with the way HTC - Garmin bluetooth works, some phones seem to work perfect (as in other android phones) so it doesn't seem a generic android-garmin issue, just wondering if anyone has had the same issue with any other bluetooth equipment and managed to find a cure ?
also if anyone know if custom roms mess about with bluetooth and the way it works, tempted to try an AOSP rom or CM to see if the bluetooth works properly but i do like sense so would prefer to stick with what i got, using Insertcoins Sense 7 rom, might go back to official sense 6 and see if that works also...
thanks for any suggestions...

It worked fine for me with KitKat.
Friday evening I upgraded to LolliPop. (Did a clean install, no data restore from backup)
Since then I have the same problem. Once you lose your Bluetooth connection it won't reconnect anymore.
You have to unpair and the repair in order to be connected again. A real pain in the ass, as I use it only for the notifications on the bracelet.
I have had a Vivosmart since the week they came out. I had a lot of the BT issues the first few months (mainly due to their software being released before it was really production ready) but has been fine since. I'm rooted and have ran a few different roms without an issue. Currently I'm using SkyDragon's Sense 7 rom. I haven't had to pair to my phone due to disconnects for at least a couple months. Are you pairing from with-in the Connect app? At one time the pairing was done via the regular android BT devices but they got rid of that and now pair from the app only. So technically your Vivosmart shouldn't ever show up on the list of installed/connected BT devices because it's only paired from the Connect app. I'm sure you've been on the garmin forum but if you haven't or someone else reading this hasn't it's here https://forums.garmin.com/forumdisplay.php?478-vivosmart. I've seen posts over there about m8 users having problems but don't remember reading if anyone was able to get the problem fixed and what they did. It doesn't make sense that it works for some (like me).
Hello,
I have same problem with Garmin Fenix 3. Apparently there is some bug in HTC ONE M8 Android 5.0.1
I am able to connect and connection is quite stable but watch wont reconnect automatically.
Usually it will reconnect once you reset BT on phone and than on watch. But its quite annoying so I am also looking for solutions. Any idea? Ive tried to add watch to trusted device under smart lock but its not working either. I know most Garmin devices worked on previous version of android on HTC ONE M8 but with Lollipop its bugged..

G'day wakers,
I have had exactly the same problem with my m8. I also have only used insertcoin rom which may be part of the problem as I have an identical m8 with stock lollipop (never unlocked or rooted) and it has no problems with the vivosmart or Garmin Fenix BLE connection.
I have since sold my m8 and traded up to an m9, which is still stock, but I'm reluctant to flash custom Rom as the Bluetooth works perfectly... On the other hand, stock roms drive me mental with bloatware and ads.
If you try another Rom I'd be very interested to hear how you go...as it may give me some confidence to unlock my brand new m9.
Cheers.

Cheers for the reply i might try a few different rom's i presumed that lollipop was the issue from what your saying maybe not then i'll let you know...
I have any M8 stock lollipop and vivosmart. When vivosmart go out of range lose connection. When vivosmart come Back near smartphone, if I want to connect it, i must switch off Bluetooth and switch on manually.
It is not auto.
Can you help me?
Thank you

I'm experiencing an even worst problem with no pairing at all with my fenix 3 and Garmin Connect with Cyanogenmod 12.1 .
I've done the test with a Samsung SII, Oneplus X and Oneplus One. All pairing fail and all with Cyanogenmod 12.1
It's working well with a Samsung Galaxy S5 ! So if one Cyanogenmod developper is reading this, can you please let us know if this bug is known, or if you can log it, and i can help some troubleshooting as well.

Solution found on my side by realizing that one dialog box is not scaled in Garmin Connect and so the "yes" button is not visible in material design. I've understood this by rolling back to Cyanogenmod 11 and see the process.
Workaround is to use a language with shorter words like english. My initial set was in French. So if it can help somebody else with Garmin Connect, use it
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.
