Anyone else have the issue of their phone restarting when using Google Maps? The phone also happens to be plugged into Dash Car Charger as well.
Yes it has happened to me a few times.... Knock on wood I haven't had any issues recently. I used tasker to setup a profile so when I use my nav apps (maps, waze, etc) it turns off Bluetooth and sets the location mode to gps/device only vs. high accuracy. Not sure if there's any correlation, but I've gone about 1 week with no issues. I use waze to and from work daily.

I had that happen the other day while on the highway. Not the most convenient place to have to get things up and running again.
Not sure why it happened, but I hope it gets sorted out.

Never happened to me, commonly use both
Happened to me a few days after upgrading to OOS 3.2.2. On a secondary highway in mountains where signal was spotty. Have a feeling it was related to loss of LTE/4G signal while in maps.

I can also say this happened to me. Everytime it did happen I just so happened to "switch" over to edge network. After using data on the other sim, which has better coverage, it didn't happen.
Tested using one carrier sim on way up, and other carrier sim on way down. I was also using Bluetooth streaming Pandora the entire time each way. It never happened before oos 3.2.2, only Pandora would cut out when hitting the edge network.

Same Here..
I've had this happen as well, but only when my phone has been plugged into a charger in my car.. it's possible that it has been shutting down thinking that something was going wrong with charging?
Rebooted when using Google Maps.
OnePlus 3 (3.2.2 OS)
Rebooted 3 times in a row
Was not charging at the time.
Rebooted when using Google Maps and Radardroid.
5-6 Reboots in 2 hours . No troubles in 6-7 hours before.
Reboots with and without original car charger.

Same here. Restarts while driving
Maps in the background. BT on. The phone restarts when the screen timeout function tries to shut down the display.
3.2.4 unlocked, rooted, Xposed.
That's a little bit disappointment...
I've occured this, too
I found case :
1. car-charging
2. use GPS
3. connect Bluetooth.
when I don't charging in car, that was never again.

Yeah...especially since even if you have a fingerprint lock, you still have to enter your password after a reboot. OOS 3.2.4 fixed some of these issues, at least according to the change log. But I mostly use custom ROMs (Resurrection Remix at the moment), so I haven't tested OOS 3.2.4 yet.
Edit: well, never mind about 3.2.4 fixing the issue:

You know, there is actually another thread about this, if you dig around the Q&A section. Now, several people said they thought random rebooting is a hardware issue. The thing is, I get random reboots too, but it only happens while driving, BT connected, Pandora playing, and navigation going. Outside that one particular scenario, I have never had a random reboot. I don't call myself an expert, but that doesn't sound like a hardware failure to me if it only happens under one (very particular) set of circumstances.

agree. i tried to make this problem reoccured at home (meaning bt on; played music over the bt; maps on) -- no restarts.
smthng telling me it's related to gps. BUT i haven't had this problem before 3.2.4 update.
i only hope the OP team will take a deep look into this.
me too, while using Android Auto (so the phone is plugged in and charging, and connected by bluetooth, if it matters)
once it starts it will repeatedly reboot every few minutes.
If I close maps and clear cache it seems to help.
So what do we do?
I have the same restarting problem, using Waze as satnav and gps,on non Dash charger in car, and with 3.2.4 update. What can we do to get Oneplus to take this problem seriously?
I have exactly the same set up and exactly the same problem: Waze, OxygenOS 3.2.4, with or with out charger in the car.
This problem only started yesterday. On my 1 hour commute last night the phone restarted 5 time. On the 1 hour commute this morning it rebooted 5 times in 30 mins before I gave up and drove without it.
Anyone found a fix for this?
Maps running without issues
Maps ver9.36.1

I haven't been able to get through one day without having to do a complete reset of my 360. It will disconnect from my phone about 3 or 4 times per day and the solution is some random combination of massaging the watch and Nexus 5 through restarting the phone/watch, connecting/disconnecting in the Android Wear app, or ultimately resetting the watch and going through the whole setup again. I am using a Nexus 5 with CM11 on it. Is anyone else having this issue?
Using an ancient GS2 with CM11 and get an issue where my bluetooth turns off and can't be turned on so I have to restart, but I think my bluetooth module is damaged, your phone bluetooth doesn't turn off does it?

I am having a few maybe 3 or 4 disconnects but the watch reconnects for me.
I get about 1-2 disconnects a day but it reconnects immediately afterwards.
Nexus 5 CM 11 user with the same problem, well, erm, had a problem...-ish.
I've made a couple posts on the is problem and created a Log of my first day here.
I made this post here telling an XDA member how to remedy their disconnects:
When you lose connection with your 360, if you open the Wear app on your phone, does it still say connected? If so, try and reconnect with Android Wear to your 360, does it not reconnect? (This is happening to me)
Try reconnecting on Wear, your 360 may say that you've lost connection (Cloud with a slash icon). Try reconnecting again from the Wear app, if that doesn't work, try repairing your 360, that should work. (4/5 times it works for me)
Resetting does seem to work as well, I did it yesterday and went 16 hours without a disconnect, previous day was 7 in 6 hours. But this morning I walked away from my 360 with my phone and lost connection and it started disconnecting again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I did a reset of my 360, it got my through the day without any disconnects the count not reconnect. But I think I had one or two minor ones where all I needed to do was wake my phone and it reconnected.
Now, the final solution? Yesterday CM11 M10 came out and if you have upgraded, I highly suggest making a backup and doing so. It seems to of fixed the issues on my N5. I made a post here preCM10 (Before it came out) and decided it was probably a BT problem with CM, not the 360 and I think I was right.
The BT fix apparently made it into CM11 M10 and I seem to be doing alright. But Battery life kind of sucks still, I only made it 7 hours yesterday with moderate usage, so I'm starting to suspect that I'm still getting some kind of disconnect, but it's reconnecting instead of hanging, thus decimating my battery life.
My Nexus is also seeing pretty bad battery life since I started using my 360. Granted, it's never been the best at making it through the day, but it definitely seems to drain about 20% faster.
what about stock Nexus 5?

Thanks in advance and, by the way, great graphic analysis, dude!
Galaxy S4 here
CM11 had constant connection problems. Always showed "Connected, running sync loop" in the Wear notification.
I switched to a GPE ROM and haven't had one disconnect.
I experienced 5-6 disconnects a day, at least, before the update. Afterwards, it has disconnected once, but I was in a very crowded area, and it could have simply had a lot of electronic interference. Otherwise, the update has definitely made a difference. Wear Aware is actually useful now!
Hiya folks,
Just wondering if anybody has been experiencing random reboots on the OP3. Have been experiencing em on 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 about twice a day since I got the phone four days ago. Tried a cache wipe/hard reset but to no avail. Haven't been able to reproduce the reboots. Just happen at completely random times, while writing an email, making a call, or connecting to the car Bluetooth. Phone is perfectly responsive and stable otherwise!
Have asked Amazon for a replacement, but I'm wondering if this is something that's been noticed by anybody else. No mods done, completely stock. Running dual sims (Vodafone and Jio VoLTE).
Attaching a screenshot of how the battery page shows the reboots.
Yeah, they happen for me periodically. Not nearly as often as yours though. Mine is maybe once or twice a week max. But yes, slightly annoying.
Phone is completely stock, locked, unrooted. Running 3.2.2.

Haven't had a single random reboot yet, had the phone for about a month now. Started with 3.1.3, then 3.2.1, now 3.2.2, rooted, running xposed (not a lot of modules).
What are you doing when the reboots happen (an app issue)?

It's been all over the place, but often when the screen was actually off! The way I would know would be I'd pick up the phone and see that it asks for the PIN post reboot. If it helps, I've enabled encryption. I also have a work (exchange) email account set up as a device admin
I know there's ways of investigating this with logcats and last_kmsg, but I've had the phone 4 days and I cant imagine why it's spontaneously rebooting while doing literally nothing. Seeing as hardly anybody has had similar reboots (on XDA/OnePlus forums), could this be a hardware issue at all? I could possibly try reflashing the entire phone, but that would essentially be the same as a wiping data/cache, right?
Here's an idea - my LTE data/VoLTE is extremely spotty (on Reliance Jio which is in a beta test stage) - disconnects and connects VERY frequently, could that be triggering reboots at the baseband level? Now throwing ideas at the wall!

Mine had random reboot issues recently on a trip. It only seemed to happen when I was using Google navigation combined with listening to music on my bluetooth headphones. I haven't tried that combination since the trip and haven't had any reboots since then.

same issue
the reboots are random, and i could only know that the phone has rebooted itself if it ask for a pin upon scanning finger, went to service center and has OS flashed, but the problem still persist, for me some time when the phone hangs, some kind of pixels form on the screen, attaching a sample photo for reference, anybody experiencing this issue or am i the only one, and today the phone has completely stopped working, it is not switching on.

Wow that is substantially worrying, and almost certainly not just a software issue I reckon. Try getting a replacement maybe? - or atleast ask the service folks for a mainboard replacement. Anybody else with reboot issues?
Doesn't really seem to be an OS bug, unless it happens in very niche use cases which I don't have anyway! Getting the replacement on Tuesday, fingers crossed for that one!
My friend and I both got a one plus 3. He does not have this problem but I have.
The reboot is random but usually happens during charging. Sometimes it even turns off.
I have tried to ask for a replacement but they rejected me. Still communicating with the support staffs

I experienced a similar scenario twice, only seems to happen on long trips, 3+ hours. I was using Waze with Plex streaming audio over car Bluetooth. I have not had this on shorter trips, 1-2 hours. I'm typically plugged into the dash car charger. Otherwise, haven't had issues. Never rooted 3.2.2.
Situation Update
Got the replacement OP3 on August 9. Have now seen 2 random reboots since. Once while paired to the car Bluetooth, once after finishing a call.
I have till August 19 to decide whether to keep this device or ask for replacement number two! Overall, the reboot situation is a lot better on this device, but I can't help wonder - why any at all?
Seems at this point to either be a bug with the Bluetooth implementation AND/OR with the dual SIM functionality where repeated switching between SIMs for every call. (I use one SIM for calls and texts, another for data)
Can anyone confirm the situation on a custom ROM as opposed to stock? I'm running stock 3.2.2
Aaaaand now we have an ota claiming to fix 'auto-reboot issues' - 3.2.4 :laugh:
The reboots were so sparsely documented compared to the other stuff that I ended up getting a replacement for a s/w issue!
Anyway - you folks reboot free now? Post results with 3.2.4 please
I had three back to back random reboots while using Google Maps and Amazon Kindle in the background. Weird.

Agree. It happens only when I drive with gmaps running on background. When the screen times out, the phone, instead of shutting down the display, goes to hard reboot.
I've never had this issue until I moved to the latest update. Weird. Annoying.
I had my first reboot a few hours ago (with 3.2.4). I was connected to Bluetooth in my Car. Noticed it, as my car told me that mein Phone is now connected. No gmaps or something with GPS runinng.
Looks like Bluetooth is the Problem.
Has anyone been experiencing their bluetooth turning off on its own since the MNF26U update? I've tried re-flashing the factory image and doing a factory reset, but the problem still exists.
I've had the same persistent issue also as of recently. Only things that use on Bluetooth is my Hauwei Watch and State Farm Drive Safe beacon. I haven't figured out what is causing the issue.

FWIW: I've had no Bluetooth issues. Only things I use it for are connecting to my two cars for phone, and Android Auto (which uses USB and Bluetooth connection).
I am also experience this same issue. Seems when I get in my car I have to toggle my BT back on. I am using a Samsung Gear S3 with my Pixel XL.

Ever since I got the Gear S3, my Bluetooth will restart every single time I disconnect my Bluetooth headphones. It also never routes calls through my headsets unless I go into Bluetooth settings and uncheck and then recheck the phone audio option of those headphones every time I reconnect them. I've tried maybe 6 different BT headsets and it's the same case with all of them.
I have been having this issue since NMF26U as well. NOF26V actually seems even worse. It doesn't go off immediately upon connection or disconnecting from my car, but then randomly wile the BT lite will disappear while it is disconnected from any devices. Toggling it back on works as does a reboot that comes back on with BT activated even though it was off when rebooting. Hard to believe after this many updates that BT issues continue to be an issue with this phone.
Probably background tasks are getting killed aggressively. Despite being "not battery optimized", my VPN app gets killed too, if I don't touch my phone for too long. E.g. at night. And yes, I'm facing Bluetooth issue too.
Strange, Bluetooth hasn't turned off since my first post. ?

I've had this issue and I'm not on the latest firmware. It's happened twice now. Very random, a week between. Maybe it was an update with the Google app, I've noticed a bunch of updates recently
I am having the same issue. The only thing I use my bluetooth for is my car. I have to turn it back on everyday when I start my commute.
I think I found a work around....

This suddenly started happening to me as well and at first I thought it was my Moto 360 watch going bad since it kept displaying "Bluetooth Services has Stopped". After looking I noticed my Bluetooth was off on my pixel and here is what I did after learning a similar experience from my Camera shutting down on my old Nexus 6.
I went under Settings/Battery/Click the 3 dots in top right corner and select "Battery Optimization"/Then select the little drop down arrow next to "Not Optimized" and select "All Apps"/ Scroll down to "Bluetooth MDI Services" and Bluetooth Share". I selected both of them to "Not be Optimized" but you can play around and select one or the other to see if it works for you. Since I selected both my watch has stayed connected now for about 2 days straight and my Bluetooth stays connected and connects automatically like I've set up to my car and other devices. It also works and stays on when my phone goes into "do not disturb mode" also....
I'm not saying this is the "fix" for it but it seems to be working for me....
I hope this will work for you guys and helps!

Yeah I would be very curious if it works for you as well and hopefully it does. I was getting very frustrated with it but since I changed those settings it seems to be working fine now and I haven't really noticed any difference in battery performance either....

Had the Bluetooth turn off on my XL before even entering my car (but I didn't see it happen except when I was about to get in the car and noticed no BT indicator). This was approximately an hour after a reboot and no BT devices had been paired though the indicator was on for some period after the reboot. Pretty hard to believe it was an optimization issue since I had run no apps after the reboot. While typing this, the BT icon disappeared again. Add this to getting a Verizon "Server Unreachable" error on my wife's Pixel yesterday and my XL this morning that both needed reboots to remedy. My frustration with this phone is pretty bad today. Both are unlocked BL, rooted with newest SU, running newest TWRP and newest Google version but otherwise stock. P.S. When you see about 4 Google play updates a day for about 2 weeks (with not very many apps installed other than the base) it is hard to guess what my be causing the issue. OK, rant over.
BT has definitely been a PITA since the latest security update. It's completely ruining the music experience on a car I bought days before the update came out. Since the update I constantly have to toggle bluetooth on then off again to get the phone to connect to the car. Then I have to open Google Play Music and start playback manually. This happens several times a day and is very annoying. Had not a single issue before the update.
I am having issues with Bluetooth disconnecting as well. Was bad on previous build but this most recent update, NOF26V build, is worse. I connect to my truck, watch, and speaker system in home and office. Happens randomly without notice. I have tried to test the "do not distrub" theory, after reboot, etc., so far I have not figured out a root cause or time.
Trying the optimized thing for the heck of it. I noticed that only share was listed and not MDI services. I wonder if that is only available on Google phones and not Verizon somehow or only shows if the BT is connected to the device, but I'm not in the car to check.
I too have a gear 3 frontier and since then I have to reconnect my pixels bluetooth, pretty much once everyday. very frustrating lol
Same BT problem
I have been having the same issue with BT switching itself off for about a week now. Never had any BT issues prior to that. Mine is a Verizon Pixel XL. I noticed it when it wouldn't connect to my car, but I quickly discovered that was because BT was off on the phone. I always leave BT on, so I knew something was funky and paid close attention after that. Once I turn it back on it connects to everything just fine and it stays on for the duration of me using it at that time. But when I go to use it the next time, it is off again. It can be a variable length of time in between when I use it, so I don't know how soon it turns off, but it has to be within just a few hours. This pattern suggests to me that something is turning it off, perhaps to save battery, if it goes without being used for a certain time period. I did not knowingly turn on any setting that does that, so it makes sense that an update changed something. I have not tried the workaround/fix mentioned above; I will do it and report back.
Since upgrading to OOS 4.5.0, my GPS has been having issues locking in. When I start navigation, the GPS does not seem to lock a location and it navigates as if the GPS is turned off (every few minutes it moves my location but not to my exact location). If I reboot and start navigation again, it starts working sometimes. Lots of GPS threads but none that I saw depicting an issue similar to mine. Anyone else have this issue?

I have the same issue on latest beta, and I think it already started some beta versions ago. Sometimes going into airplane mode, waiting a minute, and switching all back on helps, sometimes a reboot is needed. If I'm stuck in "GPS not working"-state, I can see with GPS helper apps that satellites are detected, just never locked onto, regardless of signal strength. I just started rebooting my mobile each morning, this has at least mitigated the problem a bit. Nevertheless, I had situations where I was in a hurry and just needed navigation or my present position, and it was very annoying that Google Maps thought I was 250m away (positioning me without GPS) and never locked onto my position.

I forgot to mention that rebooting resolves the issue. That said, if I reboot and get the GPS to work and navigate somewhere, when I use the GPS again, say 20 minutes later, it has the same issue and has to be rebooted again. So for me, a single reboot per day does not seem to work.
this issue has been present for months, on both stable and beta builds, on OOS and custom ROMs
used to think OP3/T was a great phone, but now it's not even great for what you pay given GPS navigation is nonfunctional
Hey, a user posted a gps fix. Works great for me so far. Have a look in this thread. Hope it helps!

This is not a fix, this is a workaround and it requires an unlocked bootloader

Since upgrading to OOS 4.5.0, my GPS has been having issues locking in. When I start navigation, the GPS does not seem to lock a location and it navigates as if the GPS is turned off (every few minutes it moves my location but not to my exact location). If I reboot and start navigation again, it starts working sometimes. Lots of GPS threads but none that I saw depicting an issue similar to mine. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi, i have same problem, Yesterday i flash the rom freedom et and i can use the gps 3 hours without problems
It's been around for months, sadly. Every update I'm hopeful that it will get fixed
I got the phone on launch day from Three store. I've already had 3 replacements in store and got a 4th one RMA'd from Razer.
Dont know if its worth waiting for this update. Some people say its fixed most issues some say it hasn't.
Currently i get that auto screen dimming when gaming or on a app for like 5 minutes or so. Very frustrating since the screen is not so bright anyway and it goes down so much, I literally cannot see the screen content when I am outside.
On top of that I have this Bluetooth issue when I connect to a device, either car stereo or any device literally.. It connects and says its connected/paired successfully but when I play something, it plays from the phone speakers.
The only fix to this is I need to go back and delete the paired connection. go to app settings and delete Bluetooth share and Bluetooth midi service app data, restart phone, pair again.
If these two things are not fixed. I've got no more patience left, I'm just going to sell the phone.
Great idea of a phone it is with the loud speakers and 120Hz screen but software has been the worst I've used on a phone by far.
Any info from you guys regarding all this ?
The screen dimming while gaming issue happened to me once, but I was just covering the light sensor with my finger, so I just fliped the phone and never happened again
Well, sincerely I have been with this device for 1 day, I will see if it brings problems, although for now I have not found an anomaly.

I haven't had those problems, but clicking the down arrow on the mobile data quick settings crashes, every so often my phone freezes and reboots (though less than Nougat), and there's the multitouch bug which gets fixed in the May security patch (which as far as i know is not out yet).

The Bluetooth problem may be a problem with your cars radio and not the phone. I have a 2012 Scion TC and and tried connecting my Razer Phone, HTC 10 and an iPhone 8 and they all had similar connectivity issues where audio was just being routed through the phone.

The issue itself is nothing to do with covering the light sensor. I've read on here and on Razer Insider forum that it is heat/power related and that lowers the screen brightness because it consumes too much power. A lot of people get this problem and a lot dont know about it too.

Its not my car radio. I've tried on 3 different car radio's and a Bluetooth portable speaker, I get this problem with literally every device i connect to. I still have not had a fix or a solution. Only thing Razer suggests every time is a factory reset which did not change anything.
This thing on max settings according to Ampere is pulling nearly 1.5amps from the battery with brightness at full and all settings maxed
