Bluetooth pairings "forgotten" with car and Huwawei watch - stock Marshmallow
I have an M8 that I recently returned to stock. It's locked but S-OFF, but is otherwise running T-Mobile stock - latest Marshmallow updates. No especially weird programs running either.
I am having ongoing Bluetooth issues. When in my car, the watch and car seem to compete for the connection, with one or both disconnecting or failing to connect in the first place. Additionally, my bluetooth pairings are routinely lost and I'm re-prompted to pair with either/both devices. No particular pattern to either.
I have un-paired, re-paired, cleared cache and reset my watch to factory settings and reset all the bluetooth connections on my car. Still happening. The one thing I have not tried is a factory reset of my phone - I hate having to go through the whole setup process again.
Is this a problem others are having? Is there a fix?

Hi Everyone,
I just updated my HTC Once M7 to Lollipop... Seemed like an awesome idea, I just got a new car that was connecting seamlessly to my phone via bluetooth... Text to voice, Contact transfer from my phone to my car, stream music.. it was all great... until Lollipop -_- ... After I updated I noticed my car was no longer getting the text messages from my phone.... Then I also realized I wasn't able to transfer any contacts from my phone to my car. I tried to wipe the car clean and start fresh. Cleared the cache on the phone, removed the connections etc... Now I can pair my phone to my car, stream music but when I click "Update Contacts from Phone" on my car's stereo, the phone disconnects itself from the car's bluetooth. Not to mention when I try to do the same with the text messages it just times out. The phone did ask for permissions for the car's bluetooth to access these features so I dont understand why it's not working now! All these features were working perfectly fine a week ago with KitKat.... The phone is stock (sadly).
Fixed w/ Restore
I completely restored the phone and everything is back to normal. Something probably got messed up during the installation.
Ive been having problems connecting my LG G3 Official Tmobile ROM to my Hyundai Elantra. 9/10 times it doesn't detect the connection at all. It takes several attempts at unpairing the phone, and disconnecting the system on the car before it connects once. Here is what I have done so far without success.
- unpair device
- factory reset car system
- cache and clear bluetooth.apk
- use autoconnect bluetooth apps
Yet it never auto connects. Does anyone here have any solution to this? I used to have Huawei Ascend which used to connect perfectly to my car everytime.
Bump. Help anyone? Im on breadcrumbs now and even ready to install another rom if it helps with my issue. Can somebody let me know if that will do?
Hey guys,
since I bought my bluetooth headphones (Wearhaus Arc), which are actually pretty cool, I have lots of troubles with them.
When I paired my phone (HTC One M8 running latest official stock unbranded Android 6.0) with the headphones the first time, everything was great.
While using them from day to day I was faced with connection issues. That means, that both my phone and headphones are on, but it takes (almost everytime) a couple of tries to connect them. Even if I tap in the saved devices on the headphone, the connect could not be established. Turning off and on the headphones and bluetooth on my phone was the only way to fix it.
If I finally had a connection, everything was fine. In a few very rare cases, the connection worked at the first go.
Some weeks ago, a new firmware for the headphones was released, so I wanted to install them. During the update process, the updater (Android app) said, that the verifcation failed and the firmware cound no be updated. Same behaviour with the Windows 10 app. Even with another phone it did not work. Seems like, something is wrong with the headphones.
So I contacted the support again (first time they gave me the advice to use the Windows 10 app to update firmware) and told me, that I have to return it for repair. The gave me a return label etc. and I sent it back.
After waiting a few weeks I finally got it back. With zest I turned them on, but the joy was marred, because my phone did not recognize them.
Before sending them back, I unpaired the headphones in order to start over with the new ones. Maybe this was the mistake...
I did some pairing testing with other phones (HTC Sensation, BlackBerry Q10, HTC HD2), which found the headphones immediately and worked fine. So my guess is, that only my M8 has a problem with them.
Pairing, unpairing and "repairing" (pairing again) between my M8 and the other mentioned phones worked well, so there cannot be an general bluetooth issue.
After doing a factory reset on my M8 I'm a step futher, because now the phone sees the headphones (somethimes), but it isn't able to establish a connection. In case I see it, I tap on the available devices, the phone tries to connect, but a second later I get the message: "unable to pair. Make sure your devices are on and discoverable, and then try pairing again". Rebooting the phone does not work. I also cleared the data and cache of the bluetooth share app and performed a network reset like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-m8-bluetooth-wont-android-6-0-t3340279
My question to guys is, what can I do, to get the headphones to work?
Is it possible, that on the phone is still a piece of information left about the former connection, which refuses any new connection?
Is there a file on the phone, which stores the bluetooth connections? if yes, maybe deleting or editing the file could help?
Thank you in advance!

Anyone an idea?

The problem is to connect Bluetooth on a Moto Z Play Android 7.1.1 patchlevel 2/2018 (current in reteu, was same result with Android 6.0.1 12/2016) with a Volvo XC40 car.
The first pairing with Bluetooth succeeds for a second. Then, nearly immediately, both displays (car and mobile) show reconnecting for about 10 seconds. It has a connect for a fraction of a second, and then is reconnecting and so on.
Trying flight mode and then only Bluetooth enabled on the mobile did not help. IIRC it showed some message about "My Volvo Carnull not bonded" (the name of the car for Bluetooth is "My Volvo Car" and some message with typo, something like "conecnting not successful". After that I rebooted, result was the state before with reconnecting.
Did try this several times. Also did try to reduce the amount of Bluetooth access types the car tries. There are 4 connected: phone, audio, internet, contacts. Did also not help.
Has anyone an idea how to get a successful connection or what the cause of the problem is? Did search for similar problems with Bluetooth in cars, but could not find anything (except for that hint with flight mode which did not help).
What I tried by now:
- Flight mode, only Bluetooth (as already mentioned). No change
- Remove all bluetooth connections. Pair new. No change
- Delete data for sytem app "Bluetooth Freigabe". No change
All other bluetooth connections are working fine. Another Moto Z Play using Android 7.0 (01/2017) is working flawlessly with that car. Strange for me is that it didn't work on 6.0.1 in the same way it does now fail on 7.1.1, but the other Moto Z Play using 7.0 is connecting stable.
Still the question: Does anyone have an idea how to get the connection working?
Factory reset?
I see that you deleted all bt connection but do you have some apps that are using bt? Like for smartwatch, headphones...?
I have Amazfit and watch must be connected to be able to pair a new device. Drow me crazy first time when I had that problem. I thought that car audio is broken, then phone... After pairing, watch doesn't have to be connected to reconnect.

I was afraid this reply could come. When doing a factory reset, I do following: Pack /data/media somewhere because Nandroid omits this. Backup all partitions using twrp. Backup all apk using adb. Export SMS. Export contacts. Screenshots of the launcher screens. All this takes about 2-3 hours. Then I struggle a week until my device behaves like before. I'd be willing to do it if I saw a reason why it could help.

Headphone, yes, there is August EP650 configuration tool that is not necessary. Thank you for the hint, will try it. Also I read somewhere it may help to delete cache partition, that's also worth a try before doing factory reset. Maybe I'll wait for Oreo before trying factory reset, could be they fixed some bug there.
Edit: BatOn which shows Bluetooth battery for external devices could also be the culprit.

That's a strange behavior indeed. Amazfit seems to do something wrong.
It doesn't get any better if you upgrade to Oreo, I've been having problems with my Moto Z play disconnecting and reconnecting to the radio in my Corolla constantly ever since I went up to nougat. To be honest I just bought a good pair of headphones and stopped using the radio. Good luck though, if someone finds something that helps let me know.
I'm using bt with car audio, headphones, smartwatch... No problems at all, except one with Amazfit. And that is related to their bt implementation, not Moto fault.

Seems the last action to remove Bluetooth related apps was the right one . There were two apps installed:
1. BatOn showing the state of battery of connected Bluetooth device
2. August configuration app for August EP650 headset
Removed both as they are usually not needed and it seems to work now. Will see later if it only worked for the short test I did today (currently I try to avoid driving because of an injury) or if it keeps stable.
Good, you didn't have to factory reset after all

Hi folks.
Does anyone have problems with bluetooth after the MIUI 14 update? The headphones lose connection even when turning the head slightly and the smartwatch is always disconnected. I tried the devices on another device and they work as they should.
I have already factory reset the device and reset the network settings.
Thanks in advance.
Firmvare: MIUI Global 14.0.1.0 (TLDEUXM)
I'm facing same issue, no solution though
I have also the same disconnections Bluetooth error
Don't have any issues on same firmware. Try to reset your connections settings. Wi-Fi passwords will be lost in this case.

I already done, i also remkved the wipe data for the Bluetooth, i redownload the firmware and j install but nothing seems to working
After the last update my phone wont connect to car via BT. Older phones works great. Connecting settings restart and clearing BT cache did not help.
Mine connects to the car Bluetooth and music works well, but on phonecalls. I get disconnected or people say they don't hear me properly.
There is definitely an issue.
I found a solution on a german speaking forum: goingelectric.de

Guys check if you have bluetooth update. When I went to bluetooth settings today I got a popup about bluetooth update.
