Bluetooth Not Searching - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am unable to connect to any of the bluetooth devices I previously used with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I have a stock, unrooted 5X and I am updated to the latest software. The devices can still be connected to on other devices, including an iPhone 5S. Does anyone know what the issue might be? I have tried toggling the bluetooth and restarting the phone multiple times. It usually does not even detect the bluetooth devices. I think something may be wrong with the phone's bluetooth.

Bluetooth cuts in and out when connected to 2 devices (car's "phone" and "media")

Bluetooth cuts in and out when connected to 2 devices (car's "phone" and "media")
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus on stock Jellybean, and bluetooth streaming works great in my car (Chevy Sonic) until I also connect the "phone" connection. When it's connected, the music cuts in and out constantly. Phone calls seem to do the same thing if "media" is connected.
If I kill 1 connection, the other works great. Is this a Galaxy Nexus problem or Jellybean? I've tried stock, franco's, trinity, etc kernels but I'm guessing this won't matter (since the source was JUST released for JB).
Does anyone else pair to multiple BT devices simultaneously? Do you have issues?
I just came from an iPhone 4S, and it paired nicely with both connections without them cutting out. I hope this is something I can get working because I use both functions all the time.
Thanks!
I connect to 2 devices in my truck and it actually seems to work better since installing Jelly Bean. On ICS I had a similar problem. My truck connects via the "phone" profile and I connect to a bluetooth adapter for the "media" profile. I could use either of them independently without a problem, but with both connected, my call quality was awful and my music would cut out periodically. I believe that the truck "phone" profile was disconnecting and reconnecting every couple minutes as I would see the display on my truck indicate that a bluetooth device had just connected.
Since installing JB, that behavior seems to have stopped. I can't say for sure as I haven't driven very much yet since installing it, but early testing seems to indicate the problem has gone away. I know this doesn't help in your situation, but I did want to share my experience as it was similar to yours.

Galaxy Nexus Bluetooth issues.

I have Galaxy NEXUS yakju, otad stock 4.1.1 stock everything. But every time I try to connect to my platronics k100 it doesn't show on the list. I have to reboot both devices several times before my gnex sees the platronics. I then go to pair the device but I get cannot connect to pk100 either wrong pin or passkey. I cannot find away to enter a passkey. I tried clearing the Bluetooth cache to see if that helps but nothing. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a fix? Could this be because of the new radio that dropped? I never had this issue with ICS.
I'm also stock 4.1.1 GNex. I had perfect BT behavior with several devices with ICS, now have a problem with my car's built-in BT hands-free phone (2007 BMW 328). Pairing is fine. About every other phone call I'm told they can barely hear me over the noise but my audio is fine. I've paired and unpaired, and I did a complete wipe before installing JB. Very frustrating since everything worked great with ICS. Also no problems with 2 other BT headsets and connecting to 2 different PCs via BT.
Hello,
Did either on of you find a fix for this?
Thanks in advance

Two Bluetooth paired Nexus devices won't connect anymore

I'm working with a Nexus 7 (2013) and a Nexus 4. I've had both devices for quite awhile, the 4 for well over a year and the 7 for a year. Both are rooted and using stock ROMs. The 7 is still on 4.4.3 and the 4 on 4.4.4.
I have the two devices Bluetooth paired and sometimes connect them. For the most part, over the last year, there have been no problems doing that. Once in awhile, they won't connect, but if I reboot, they will. Now, all of a sudden, I can't get them to connect under any circumstances. They're paired. But they won't connect. They both connect to an external Bluetooth speaker and the phone connects to my car bluetooth. That happens with 100% reliability. But these devices just won't connect. And I need them to for certain work related purposes.
What could have happened?
I've unpaired and repaired them a few times. I've rebooted both devices. Potentially competing Bluetooth devices (like my car and the speaker I mentioned) are turned off. The devices aren't connected to any other Bluetooth devices.
Strangely, someone I work with who's doing the same sort of thing with the same exact devices as I am is having the exact same problems.
What could be going on? Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks.

People with issues connecting to bluetooth devices

I was having an issue connecting my phone to my cars bluetooth, but called the manufacturer and was able to fix it. Certain bluetooth devices store a certain number of connected phones, and once that limit is reached, no more phones can be added. Since I did not manually unpair my prior phones, I couldn't add my G4. I had to reset my cars bluetooth receiver manually in order to remove all previously paired phones, and was then able to pair my G4 without any problems! Hope this helps!

I've also found that with many BT devices listed, either on the phone or car, it takes longer to pair as it searches for more devices. It's best to remove old devices you no longer have or connect to.

Bluetooth doesn't connect to previously paired devices - Nougat 7.1.1

Just got a Robin to replace a N5X that was killed while on vacation in MX. The bluetooth pairs just fine the first time to all four of the bluetooth devices I routinely use. Despite them now being listed in 'Paired Devices' none of them will automatically connect to the Robin. Each acts as if its the initial pairing again, asking to be included as a trusted source, and the device being connected to requiring a confirmation on the pairing. And even then getting them connected again has about a 50% success ration (if that). The N5X never had issues automatically connecting to the same four devices. Is this a known bug and is there any work around?
***UPDATE***
Well, nothing I've tried could make bluetooth work properly on stock 7.1.1. Deleting all paired devices, factory reset, you name it. Fed up, I decided to flash Omni Rom and now bluetooth works as well or better than any device I've owned. As such, it's definitely a software issue with stock 7.1.1.
