A number of people on the Reddit googlepixel forum are reporting new bluetooth problems, like dropped connections and unable to connect, after upgrading to the January update.
I was planning to update my Pixel 3 XL tomorrow, but this issue is making me pause.
Are any xda members seeing new Bluetooth issues?
No problem here.
I have been using BT in my car for multiple phone calls calls and streaming Pandora since yesterday morning. No issues at all. I have not used Android Auto since the update though. Even before the update I found the interface a bit clunky even though it was working OK.
Funny, I just posted on Android Central about how the update fixed my BT problem. Previously, every time I got into my car, it gave a connection request(PIN and contacts authorization etc.) even though its been synced many times before. After the update, the past couple days no issues when plugging my phone in and Android Auto starts up right away and messages access is already there.
no problems with rooted stock rom on jan update
I use BT for my watch and headphones and no problems before or after Jan update. Perhaps tweaking the version of BT in developer settings could help.

So I asked this question last week under the VZW LG G3 Q&A and never got any feedback so hopefully I can get some sort of response here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/bluetooth-media-phone-lg-g3-pioneer-fh-t2920008
I recently got my LG G3 a few days ago and I've been having trouble getting media to play through my aftermarket head unit (Pioneer FH-P8000BT).
I had used it via Bluetooth with my HTC Incredible, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 all with (for the most part) no issues streaming Pandora, Google Play Music, etc. The only time Bluetooth gave me trouble is on my S3 whenever i loaded an ASOP ROM, it would have a hard time connecting but it would be intermittent. Any TouchWiz roms, no issues (the Galaxy Nexus never had any problems no matter the ROM).
With the G3 I just got I had first performed a factory reset so it's 100% stock (rooted). I had also cleared the memory on my Pioneer unit.
When first connecting, it goes through without any problems and I'm able to stream media. The moment I shut my car off then turn it back on, it's unable to connect media audio (phone still works). And it had the same issue regardless of if the app is closed out or open and even restarted the phone.
I got the unit back in 2008 so I realize it's using an older version of Bluetooth and it looks like Pioneer dropped support as there are 0 firmware updates since it's been released. I saw another post (different forum) about someone having similar issues connecting their G2 to the same HU however they responded LG had released an update and they've been working since.
I'm almost tempted to upgrade the unit but would rather wait for Android Auto to come out. Hoping anyone in the forums knows a fix and can help out.
Thank you!

I've tried and retried all the steps I've taken already with no success. I'd like to be able to use streaming music in my car again so I'd appreciate if anyone could help out.
I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have an T-Mo LG G3 (D851) that had been running the D85120b software from April 7, 2015. We all know that WiFi Calling was not working on that version of software, which is why T-Mo pulled it and quit distributing it after only a couple of weeks. But Bluetooth worked perfectly for me. Then on June 9, the new D85120e came out to fix the wifi calling. So I updated to the new 20e yesterday without any problems. But now, bluetooth won't work through the phone no matter what I do. Even with LG wireless headphones or in my car. I have removed all devices, re-paired all devices, everything possible. Can't place or receive calls on my headset now, nor can I place or receive calls through my car now, even though both devices say paired and connected (1 at a time of course). This just started yesterday when I upgraded to D85120e. Any ideas out there? Please help and thank you very much.
I had to delete and pair my bluetooth devices again after I upgraded to 20e. That fixed it for me.

Thanks for the reply, but as I said in the original post, I have already done that numerous times. I have also done complete "factory" resets of both bluetooth devices (headphones and car system) and I still get the same result. I wish it had been that easy. Thanks for answering though.
Issue resolved. Just an update to close this thread. Fortunately for me, after I had upgraded to D85120e, I had done a complete TWRP backup. After that I flashed 2 TWRP zips that i wanted to use. I flashed the zip to delete Carrier IQ and the zip file by @spiderio to raise the volume level of the speakers. It was one of these zips that killed the bluetooth. ( I am guessing it was the Volume increase since that one dealt with sound issues)
In any case, I restored the TWRP backup to the system before those 2 flashes and bluetooth came back fine. I hope this may help someone else sometime. Just FYI.
My Bluetooth used to work when it was on 5.x and when I updated to 6.0.1 yesterday, my car's Bluetooth is disconnecting every couple of minutes and connecting itself back, same thing happening with my Gear S2. It stays connected for a minute then disconnects and connects back.
Anyone else facing this issue?
I'm on MM (the sideloaded version) and have never had bluetooth issues with any connection. In past updates, as much as this may suck, so many issues like this one can be fixed with a factory reset.

Anyone facing this issue
Does anyone know any fix
Yes mines the same, wifi works fine for a short amount of time then disconnects, after it cuts out goto wifi settings and all I see is scanning and no wifi devices. only way I can get wifi working again is a reboot but then I get disconnecting again after short period of time!
EDIT: I would just like to add until I updated to nougat yesterday I've never experienced this issue and I did a master reset straight after installing nougat.
I am having this same problem. Any fix for this?
Same thing here. It happened to me after the first night. I thought maybe something was corrupted after the upgrade, so I did a full factory reset yesterday morning. Everything worked fine until I got up this morning. Looks like something over the course of the night causes this to start.
Things I've tried without success:
- factory reset
- rebooting
- removing and re-adding wifi network
- tested all other devices in the house (no other device is having an issue)
- tried both 2.4 and 5ghz networks (issue is affecting both)
UPDATE: After a few hours, I turned wifi back on yesterday, and it's been working fine since. I made no changes to the phone.
Faced same problem with developer preview
Before the official release of Android 7.0 I installed two Android beta preview, 3 and 5, and had the same issue I uninstalled the previews and had no problems with version 6.1. I hoped that this would be fixed with the official version but It wasn't, Im still facing the same problems with wifi disconnecting.
Edit: When I had the previews the only way that the phone would seem to remain connected was to go into the router options and change the client lease time. I never fully tested this because I uninstalled the previews within a couple of days. I guess I'm going to have to test it this time.

Maybe this thread could help you guys, didn't try, and as it is for nexus 5, do every operation carefully.
Flashed back to 6 as the WiFi issue was unbearable, working perfectly fine again now. I was also getting major battery drain on 7.0.
Hi
I found a strange solution working for me. I had bluetooth disabled, since I have enabled bluetooth today, 5 GHz connection is stable - Pls test it and update. And pls don't ask me, why these two protocols are in any way related...

Didn't work for me.
This problem had disappeared for weeks and then started rearing its head again yesterday although I had made no changes to my phone. For the record, it's happening on both frequencies for me.
Last time, the issue magically disappeared. After it didn't go away over night, I restarted my router this morning, and now it's working fine.
To clarify, I don't think it's router related, though. I have an R7000 that's working perfectly with all other phones and other devices in the house. It's the same router the 5x was connected to before Nougat started causing these issues.
Apparantly 7.1 solves the issue

Hi all,
Since the last few firmware versions (OS 4.02 and above) I´ve been experiencing some issues exclusively with the Bluetooth connection of my car (Jaguar XE). I couldn’t fixed the problem even with the last firmware version rolled out via OTA (4.1.0).
In the last two months the connection of my Jaguar has not been stable at all. Most of the times I am able to pair my phone with the car, upload my contacts and so. However, once I start to transfer music of Spotify via Bluetooth, it keeps failing the "multimedia audio" and the connection is interrupted the whole time. I also lose the connection with the “phone audio”. I seems that my phone disables both connections intermittently. My guess is that Android Nougat is a "control freak" of permissions and this leads to issues with some car stero units.
In the previous versions of the firmware (4.01 and below) I didn´t experienced such problem. In the past I did have perfect connection to play spotify in my car with my same Oneplus Unit. I am very confident that there is nothing wrong with my car stereo unit since the Bluetooth still working fine with my wife´s phone. I haven´t upgraded my Jaguar´s firmware lately…so that shouldn´t be the source of my problem.
Despite of all this, the Bluetooth of my Oneplus unit works perfectly fine with any other Bluetooth devices . In fact I am able to enjoy full connection playing music with my External Speaker (UE BOOM 2) and my Xiaomi roidmi 2s –used in my other car that lacks of Bluetooth technology -.
I´ve tried everything. A couple of days ago I even performed a factory reset using the last version of firmware (4.1.0). Of Course I reset system settings, wiped cache and all data (music, pics…etc)…but still experiencing the same issue. I am desperate.
Any instruction will be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
So there was another thread on these boards, cant find it for right now... but in my experience the problems were only present on OOS rom's.
Perhaps not the best solution, but have you tried a CAF or Lineage OS based rom? All my problems went away after I made the switch
Good luck

Thank you Gomezie, I´ve read all the threads but I dont seem to find the solution.
I stick to stock os. Never changed my stock rom.
The funny thing is that OP stated in its last changelog that they have fixed bluetooth problems....
Kind regards,
Hi, my one plus 3 has the same problem. Done all the required resets and clearing of cache and it still would randomly connect and disconnect. Problem only surface after the recent 4.1.0 update.
My kids phone and wife's phone all have no issues.
My op3 connects with all other Bluetooth devices without any problems.
Mine is a f-pace .
Same problem in Mazda 6
Hi, I've been experiencing similar problem in Mazda 6 after software update. Everything was working perfect in previous versions. I my case problem is with using Spotify. Phone connects to the headunit, just after engine starts with no isuess, but the music won't start to play. Only way to start playback is to disconnect the phone manually and reconnect every single time. Re-pairing the phone with car doesn't help.
I sent an email to customer service a couple days ago. i haven't got any reply yet. I will let you know.
Regards.

I finally did receive a reply from OP customer service: The only solution they offer me is trying a downgrade to OS Oxygen version 3.2.8. This is the link suggested by the technical agent to do so:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_3.2.8/
I haven´t done it yet since I am not eager to this idea.
On the other hand, in the meantime, OP rolled out new OTA 4.1.1. I made the upgrade to the latest firmware version. It seemed to work at first. However right now I am having the same problems with bluetooth disconnecting the whole time.
Any other experiences?? Have anyone solved this issue with new OTA???
Kind regards,
Bluetooth and 4.1.1
It's worse now on 4.1.1. definitely not the car, Samsung works ok
Hi,
I've experienced the same problems starting on OpenBeta 12 and continuing through to OOS 4.1.1. I've posted in the Open Beta 12 thread on the Oneplus forums, and have been contaced by Oneplus regarding the issue. For the Open Beta I have provided log files for them, but due to work and private life getting in the way have not been able to do the same for OOS 4.1.0 or OOS 4.1.1. Also, I did not clean flash, but dirty flash - because I'm really lazy and stuff. It needs too much time, to be honest
Maybe if everyone who has the problem here contacts the guys at OP or the OP forums, respectively, providing logs etc. the problem can be solved faster.
I did some googling around and found a few articles that hinted in the direction of Android 7.1.1 being the culprit, which would mean that Google needs to fix it. In these articles, it said Nexus devices, and a fix coming up...don't know...
Best regards,
Chris
My phone audio always works fine but the media audio on both my nissan and ford sync system works randomly or not at all on both stock and Lineage based roms. My wife's iPhone 6s works perfectly every time on both cars. Fortunately for me it's not a big deal since both cars have usb inputs and I keep all my music on thumb drives...My old Galaxy S6 Edge works fine on both cars too so I am not sure why the OP3 is so spotty.

Ask your question in the proper place. This is a thread regarding bluetooth connectivity.
