Bluetooth problem - need help
Here is my situation. I have a EVO 4G Rooted with rooted 3.29.651.5.
My phone's bluetooth paired perfectly with my car for several months.
Then I installed Vlingo and my bluetooth stopped working with my car. I uninstalled Vlingo and the bluetooth worked only sporadically. Since then I have tried almost everything I can and have searched for weeks to get this to work.
I have tried:
* complete wipe and reinstall of ota rooted rom
* reinstalled Vlingo tested, then unistalled again
* deleted and then restored backups of BrcmBlueToothServices 1.0 and Bluetooth Share 2.2
* deleted BrcmBlueToothServices 1.0 and Bluetooth Share 2.2 then flashed rooted ota rom to get clean copies back again (I hope)
* Unpaired my Evo from my car then paired them again.
* Upgraded to rooted 3.30.651.2n.
* Flashed a new King's Kernel #11 (2.6.32.24-king-hav-OcUv)
I know it is not my car as my wife as the same phone I have. I rooted it and except for the recent kernel change on my phone the only real difference is that I never put Vlingo on her phone. I can pair her phone perfectly with my car and it works great just like mine did before Vlingo.
I'm not an expert, my learning curve was huge to get to root and I have done a lot of reading to try to figure this out.
ANY help would be appreciated! I need my phone to work with my car as I'm on the phone a lot.
The kernels will break bluetooth on the CM builds.
The CM framework has been redone and there are few compatable kernels. Yes kings kernel will work, but not everything. Currently, there is no custom kernel (beside the stock CM kernel in each build) that will work and keep bluetooth working on CM roms

Thanks You very much for your response. Since my technical level is a little limited let me see if I understand. You are saying that my rooted stock ROM is a Cyanogen Mod Build. That ROMS made using this with stock kernels should work with Bluetooth, but if you use a custom kernel there could be a problem.
If this a correct understanding, the only problem is that I was using the stock kernel that came with the ROM and it was working fine for weeks. Then I installed Vlingo and the problem arose. I then unistalled Vlingo and the problem still persisted. Days later I then switched kernels in an attempt to fix the problem. I have the same problem regardless of which kernel I use.
Do you have a suggestion for a solution? Again, thank you.

i have the same problem did everything mentioned above, rooted my wife evo and mine my Bluetooth doesn't work on mine hers does, maybe the devs could make a backup flashable zip for Bluetooth and htc syn that would be great
Using rooted file manager, I can get to the bluetooth.apk and BrcmBluetoothServices.apk files. When I click on either one of them I get a message that asks:
"Replace Application
This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?
All previous user data will be saved."
Question, If I say "OK" what does it replace with? Maybe replacing these two files will change things for me so I can get my BLuetooth function back again.
Any comments?
Nothing I have done has gotten my bluetooth function back again. I'm desperate. Anyone have any ideas. What is frustrating is that my wife's Evo will work just fine in my car, but mine has not ever since I tried Vlingo.
There must be a way to reinstall bluetooth without having to do a factory reset and start all over again. (And I'm not sure that would do it anyway.)
Anyone with suggestions?
Update: I just flashed the updated stock ROM (New_RUU_Supersonic_3.30.651.3_Deodexed_signed - http://www.4shared.com/file/yLaxLUnJ...RUU_Super.html) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728.
"So Far - So Good" as my bluetooth suddenly worked again. I have flashed the previous stock 3.30.651.2 ROM and nothing changed. This also comes with a updates stock kernel. So who knows, may be this update fixed the problem. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
BTW, I forgot to wipe anything when I did this update. All good so far.
Later: It works better but not consistent. I still have problems where after a phone call I have to turn the bluetooth off, then on again to make or receive additional phone calls.
I think i fixed my bluetooth !!!!!!
I THINK I FIXED IT !!!!!!
Wow after over 2 months of searching, learning, and trying everything I could think of (other than unrooting and going stock) I stumbled upon what seems to be a solution.
Here is what I did:
Using ASTRO file manager I opened up the "system" folder then opened the "app" folder. From there I scrolled down to the "BrcmBluetoothServices" file and long clicked it until the "File Options" appeared. Then I selected "Edit" and on the next pop-up I selected "Delete". (I was desperate and was going to delete it and reinstall from scratch).
When I selected Delete, a confirmation box appeared that said something that caught my eye like, "Are you sure you want to delete the update as this will return the file to stock?" (or something like that). WOW, when I heard delete the update I figured that Vlingo may have updated this file causing the problems. So I said yes. The update was deleted.
The BrcmBluetoothServices file remained but evidently it reverted to its original stock format. I noticed that my Evo no longer showed a pairing with my car. So I went to my car and deleted that pairing as well and then re-paired my car and phone.
Success! I have been using it for a day and so far so good. My Evo instantly connects with my car when I turn the car on, and I can make and receive phone calls normally. It has only been one day, but it looks good so far!!!
This did fix the problem. Working now for 2 weeks.
Merry Christmas to all!
JLM, have posted similar on your other site.
Having a problem with the BrokenPop 5.0.2 on my L900 (Sprint Note2)
I can't seem to dial out with this rom. I get popup saying 'Unfortunately, Dialer has stop"
Are others seeing this problem? Is this an rom issue or a setup issue on my end?
I don't expect a daily driver from an early alpha of this rom and do expect issues but I would hope that I can at least make phone calls, after all, the Note 2's primary function is a phone
What I have done so far.
DL and installed rom twice. Both DL check via MD5 OK
Using Philz 6.07.9 recovery
1. Backup internal sdcard to pc
2. Factory reset / Install new rom option
3. Wipe/format internal sdcard
4. Reboot recovery (selected yes to restore root notification)
5. Install rom
6. Boot rom
7. Boot into recovery
8. Flash Gapps
9. Did minor setup of things like Wifi, Google Login, Play Store, DL ES File Manager.
10. Try to make phone call using dialer (phone icon) and get 'Unfortunately, Dialer has stop"
11. DL another free dialer from Play Store.. same error message.
I'm open to suggestions on how to get this to work.
I do like what I see from my little tour around this rom, but not being able to make calls is a major issue for me even for an alpha release. For now I have fallen back to my trusty Community Rom 4.4.2 which has been rock solid for me.
Thanks
bump.... a few people have viewed this posting .. anyone else having this problem? I have since try to install once again.. had some limited success with dialer, but then problem returns. even made a nandroid of when it was working.. still my favorite early lollypop rom for the l900
I installed Broken5.0.2, ran it for 24, and found it seemed to be one of the least reliable functioning loli roms for L900. I personally am preferring the LiquidSmooth 12-23 nightly. The LS rom has overcome the wifi/screen off hotboot bug, the keyboard bug, but still needs the manual GPS fix. Right now it offers hands down the most functioning options at this particular time and the phone is semi reliable??? Lol its doesnt FC but its buggy.
My two cents ... Cheers!
I've tried LiquidSmooth 12-23 nightly also.. one thing I had issues with was I have a OTG usb drive and did not find a way to unmount it. Did you find that function anywhere in LS?.. Other issue I have is no XPOSE support right now.. and I'm not a fan of the AOSP messaging pgms. Lots of things I don't like about TW .. but they make a nice messaging pgm
I did see a semi-workaround where you click on the carrier setting and it kinda resets the capability to make calls.. kinda hokey.. but it seems to work.. Lolllypop is still very early.. and I guess these are the growing pains for being alpha testers. Hopefully over time it will get more mature. Back on 4.4.2 for now.. everything works.. the thing is huge.. over 2gb nandroids using high compression.. but hey, everything works.. Thanks for responding.
So I can't connect my phone to the car bluetooth connection in my car. It's ONLY a custom ROM problem. If I use FreedomOS or stock it works fine. I have changed to literally every firmware in existence, still no fix. I can connect to some devices, but I also have problems with Android Wear.
This is a big deal as I bought this phone for a custom ROM. Anybody know what's the fix?
I have read more threads about this, but nobody ever seems to have an answer that isn't "flash xyz firmware ZIP in TWRP" which I've already tried. Please, anybody willing to help, please do!
So you can't pair your phone i assume?. If so I had the same problem.
It was a real issue in earlier aosp roms but now alls I do is clean flash the rom, set up and connect my BT and then if using a theme it goes on last!!!!.
No, it pairs fine, but then never connects as a phone. Only media works. I never dirty flash roms, so that's not the issue at all.
I will try this, then report back. Haven't tried this yet.
Which option in the toolkit should I use? There seems to be no options to revert stock specifically. You mean the OP3 Unified Toolkit, or is there specifically a "unbrick tool"?
Tried it. Not fixed. Used 4.1.3 zip after the reflash of stock using the Qualcomm tool. Should I try a 6.0.1 zip like 3.2.8 OOS or something?
I have built several custom ROMs with a BT fix that gets rid of the "no phone" issue. This sounds like the same issue I had so this should work.
Hi, I have the latest CM12 installed in my tablet, but I have a lot of issues, especially when installing multiple apps or if I try to change the Launcher. It gets into boot loop and there is nothing one can do but re-flash the rom, which is pretty annoying. It has happened to me already 3 times in a short while and I am thinking of flashing LineageOS. However, I hear it is still very buggy, especially the issues with wifi. So I would like to ask which is the least buggy Rom for 7.0 v410 or if there is a way to avoid CM12 from getting the problem with boot loop.
Boot loop has been caused when trying to change Launcher (because trebuchet regularly crashes), when installing x-plore file manager and in a clean flash when I attempted to install multiple apps at the same time. In all cases it got stack in boot loop, or would start only to restart after a while, endlessly.
Finally, I opted for LineageOS 14.1.
I had the 11-11 Nightly for some time and seemed fine. Today I updated to 25-11 Nightly. It feels maybe slightly laggy, but still checking it.
I have also installed "Best WiFi Keeper" app from play store and it generally keeps me connected. However, if connection is lost (e.g at restart or if I get out of range), I have to reconnect manually. I tried few apps for reconnecting but nothing worked. It appears that although the WiFi network is seen, the tablet cannot really re-establish the connection automatically.
I found Nothing stable yet.. In last few days, I have installed CM 12.1, same trouble.. I installed Tipsy and Tesle, unable to install apps from playstore. Tried CM 13 and Lineage OS latest build as you, Wifi Teathering and USB teathering not working and same problem with wifi connectivity. Keed posted if you find something better.. I shall too...
Tesla works great for me. I'm running a lollipop version that's still on androidfilehost; I'm not sure if GZR ever got updated beyond 5.1 for V410.
I've had CM 14.1 (long enough ago it was still CM and not LOS) on the tablet, and it felt like it would get laggy. That could just be from junk my kid installs though, but I don't seem to have that problem with Tesla.
I installed Tesla (Tesla-v410-5.1.1.High_Voltage.2.2.1-Release-20150902.zip from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347807214) with open G apps but getting errors while installing apps from Play store(Some error code 963 - tried cleaning cache of playstore, play services download manager, removing google account and adding again - Nothing works). Same situation with tipsy. Any help?

That is probably what I'm running, I don't have my tablet right now. I think I flashed it with opengapps nano. I didn't have to do anything unusual to get play store to work.
Tipsy uses the same base as Tesla and Validus. Since it is persisting across multiple flashes and roms, consider formatting the internal storage if it isn't too much hassle, the TWRP wipe where you have to type "yes" to confirm. Sometimes some remnants in userdata that aren't touched by the normal system/data/cache/dalvik wipe cause problems like this and can persist the way you're describing.
Just make sure you have rom and gapps on an external SD or you have confirmed you can push files to the tablet in TWRP over usb via mtp or adb before you blank the internal storage.

I'm on Tesla, but it has the same base as Tipsy. I don't have data on the tablet so it isn't a 100% conclusive test, but it doesn't seem to work. The switch for USB tethering never turns on. Wifi turns on but never connects properly. My laptop does briefly show connection then disconnects with both USB and wifi tethering. It could be because there is no data connection on my tablet, but looking through dmesg on the laptop gives me the impression that something on the tablet isn't working right.

I'm on lineageOs 14.1 which is alright though the wifi issue is still there. However, someone may have found a solution, but I don't know how to implement it. Check posts 207, 210 and 215 in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-...eageos-14-1-v400-lg-g-pad-7-0-t3583952/page22

Would you (or anyone who sees this) please tell me is it possible to flash TWRP if I'm on 5.0.2? Or must I downgrade first?
I'm rooted already. TBH stock is pretty solid and if the custom roms have too many bugs I might pass. But I would like to flash Viper4Android and don't think I've ever installed it without a custom recovery. Many thanks in advance.

I made the same question more or less, over a year ago here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/help-installing-cm-t3483074
You cannot flash another rom over lollipop and I've never seen twrp for android 5.0.2 for v410. I am not 100% sure because my question was a bit different, but I assume from the replies, that probably not.

Thanks. That's more or less what I thought. From what I'm hearing there are some bugs in the roms that no doubt aren't being maintained at this late stage so I think I'll stick with stock (would be nice to have a custom recovery though.)
Not that it matters (a year later) but lots of people root with Kingroot when there isn't another option and there's several ways to remove all the bits left behind and switch it to supersu.
Thanks again!
Well, I have a work around to stop wifi from disconnecting in lineage os. After that I did not know when wifi got disconnected and reconnected.
Just download E-Robot from playstore.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.robot
And set it to settings as per screen shot.

It works! Thank you so much! It seems the LOS developers have stopped trying to fix the wifi issue but it is important. The workaround even works at restart, with some delay, but it works!
Just to clarify to newbies like me, where ssid you have to put the name of the network you want to connect. I wonder if one can add more networks, so it can connect to any saved network according to where you are. You think that's possible?

That would be great.. I shall try.. if successful, I shall post results.
I have a uk410, the US Cellular variant of the v410. I tried the CM12.1 "stable" release cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-v410.zip found here (archive.org/download/cmarchive_snapshots), along with Open GApps nano for 5.1 (opengapps.org/?api=5.1), and quickly got the infinite rebooting issue.
I then switched to the Telsa ROM mentioned earlier in this thread (Tesla-v410-5.1.1.High_Voltage.2.2.1-Release-20150902.zip) found at androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347807214, again with Open GApps nano for 5.1 (build open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20180922.zip), and have been running it with no issues for two days. My wifi is connected, and stays connected (tested two different routers), Play Store and apps have been working fine, and no crashes so far.
I'm using TWRP 3.1 (twrp-3.1.0-0-v410.img).
Thanks for mentioning Tesla, @jason2678 !
So like all of you I was looking for a rom to install on this v410 7" tablet, and it looks like I should just give up or stick with 4.4.2 stock if I want to go through the rooting process.
Basically all the development roms end with the same problems, wifi dropping, hostspot not working, no ir blaster, volume problems, bluetooth errors, and several hundred posts about lolipop memory leaks crippling the tablet because of only 1gb mem.
So, I am asking all of you, is there any real reason to root it, besides going back to stock 4.4.2?
And lastly, is the stock 4.4.2 kdz image that is floating around a test version, and if so is there an actual official kdz image somewhere that isn't a test image?
Thanks...
CrDroid by far in my opinion. Lineage based, 7.1.2.
Also, e/ os has been unofficially released. No Google anything...an entirely new Google list operating system by lineage. It's lightning fast and runs magisk perfectly. It's basically like nothing you've ever seen before and if you look under LG g pad 7.0 on Android file host, go to the second page and click on the last user who goes by the name anonymous and you'll find the ROM there. I had no idea what it was until my g pad boot it up and I saw the e logo. I pretty much **** myself in excitement
