I have a OnePlus 7t, new to me, it's an unlocked T-Mobile branded phone being used on Verizon. The Bluetooth symbol shows all the time. It's on if I'm connected to a device and it's on when I'm not. Is this normal? I know I can turn off the symbol. I have looked all over the net and most of the problems are the opposite. Most people don't have a Bluetooth symbol and they want one.
Update: I've cleared the Bluetooth cache. No Change just lost all my connected devices. I don't have any problems connecting to all my devices. It' just the Bluetooth symbol in the upper right hand corner is on all the time.
I went into developers options and checked running apps. Under Bluetooth it said 1 process and 6 services running. I stopped them all and they started right back up again. Why would I have 6 running services with nothing attached?
I'm sure it has something to due with that 1 process. ??? Which is what?
I know this is not a major problem but it just bugs me.
Thanks for any help
Mike
Is the Bluetooth symbol lit when Bluetooth is toggled off? It's supposed to stay on when Bluetooth is turned on even if you aren't connected to anything.
The Bluetooth symbol is off when turned off. Its on when turned on with nothing attached (headphones, Bluetooth speaker, etc.) You're saying the Bluetooth symbol will always be lit if Bluetooth is on even if nothing is attached. All my other phones were never like that. If Bluetooth was on then symbol would appear. When disconnected the symbol would disappear. This is my first Oneplus 7T phone, maybe I'm looking at this all wrong. If you're sure then I have nothing wrong.
thanks
Sorry, you're right. My mistake I was thinking of the pull down. The Bluetooth symbol at the very top shouldn't be on unless you're connected.
Does that light go off when you toggle Bluetooth off?
Yes, it goes off when turned off.
I show the same running services when not connected.
Turn bluetooth on, go to System>reset options>Reset Wi-Fi, mobile, and bluetooth, reset everything, restart your phone.
This will clear and erase ALL of your connections!
Your mobile connections should rebuild themselves, but you might need to re-enter the APN info so write all of that down first.
You will lose all of your stored wi-fi networks and all of your paired Bluetooth!
This should clear out if Bluetooth “thinks” it's still connected to a device.
Thanks, I tried this in the past and again. Same thing, nothing connected to Bluetooth. Symbol shows on the Home screen.
I have opened a case with OnePlus and this was their first suggestion. I reported back to them, but have not heard from them since then.
Thanks
Good luck with it
Here's the OnePlus 7T support forum (not the community one). Worth a try.

Thanks, hopefully OnePlus will continue to get back to me. I installed a small app to turn Bluetooth on and off on the home screen. If it comes down to it, I can live with it.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions

I also have a T-Mobile 7T, and when Bluetooth is on with NO devices connected, it shows the Bluetooth symbol in the notification area. If it's connected, then 2 small arrows next to each side (similar to <B>) appear.
I guess this is by design. Check page 28 of the 7T manual in this link:
https://oneplussupport.s3.amazonaws.com/7T+用户手册/OnePlus+7T+User+Manual+EN.pdf
I just had a chat with OnePlus. He confirmed that the Bluetooth symbol when turned on in settings connected or not will always show in the upper right hand corner.
Thanks for your help

Hello,
If there is a thread about this subject, please direct me to it because I couldn't find it.
I have an XDA Cosmo running on WM6.1 (ricky's)
All was reasonably fine untill this sunday. All of a sudden it doesn't make any sound anymore and there is the headphone symbol displayed at the top. When I plug in a headphone, I can hear to that offcourse.
It is also very hard to sync it with my computer. I have to try dozen's of times.
I'm guessing that there is something wrong with the connector. Do you have any suggestions?
The strangest thing is that when I reboot my phone, it doesn't occur untill i plug something into the mini-usb connector.
Another strange thing was that it changed the colour of the homescreen automaticly overnight. I don't think the two problems are related, so any suggestions for this one?
yesterday, completely out of the blue, my phone had the speakerphone all the time on. I couldn't get it normal again. Then, later that day, the headphone symbol reappeared, so I couldn't make a call anymore.
When I connect it to my computer today, it keeps on switching between connected and not-connected for 2 minutes and then decides to be not connected. Even when I leave the room and there are no noticeable vibrations that could cause a bad connection.
Anyone has an idea? Because the phone is useless right now and I can't flash another rom when I can't connect it to my computer.
Greetings and thanks a lot for any piece of information.

turn off bluetooth
Bluetooth hasn't been on the last couple of months, so I don't think that that is the problem
Am I the only one where the GPS symbol animation didn’t work proper?
I would expect a blinking GPS symbol in the status bar till GPS is locked.
The strange thing is, if I start an app using GPS, I will get a static symbol in status bar…. If I connect the device to my pc via usb, the symbol starts blinking till GPS is locked. It only works in this strange way for me, the GPS acquiring must already be started and then connect usb to pc. If usb is already connect before starting GPS… it will not work. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
I hope you guys understand what I mean

For me when acquiring GPS signal it is static with no center dot. Once acquired it is static with a center dot.

hi dennis,
same for me on a deodexed stock 4.0.2.
i checked the xml files in systemui. the xml for gps animation is there! It should toggle the 2 symbols until gps is locked.
can you try the trick with usb connection please? But you must start gps before you connect to usb...
Static icon with no center till locked, then center fills in.
Stock 4.0.2 GSM.
For me it varies, sometimes static whole connecting which makes me think it isn't connecting and sometimes it blinks.

same here...it's rather annoying.
i realize this thread is like six months old, but has anyone ever figured out a fix for this? i'm on stock rooted deodexed verizon 4.0.4...
I just got my Sprint GN a few weeks ago, and love using the bluetooth to connect to my car audio, but every 3rd or 4th time I get into my car I notice the bluetooth doesn't pair, so I take out my phone and look and the bluetooth icon is gray (instead of blue, indicating it has connected), I toggle the bluetooth off, and then when I try to turn the bluetooth radio back on it just sits there saying "bluetooth is turning on...". Bluetooth stops working until I reboot my phone
Does anyone have any incites into this or anyone else experiencing this?
I have the same issue. It's no solution but you can enable/disable Flightmode to get Bluetooth up and running again (but quicker then reboot).

I'll give that a try (again) next time.. I am 100% certain I had tried that, though, unfortunately.
Yeah, I tried your solution again, and it just keeps saying "bluetooth is turning on..." even after I've turned *on* airplane mode.
Need some more information to be able to help you properly >_>
Stock ROM or Custom?
Rooted/Unrooted?
Or alternatively (Because it sounds like you're running a stock Galaxy Nexus...) ave you tried unpairing, and the repairing the devices?
Hi Zach,
Completely stock & unrooted (so far)
I actually did a complete factory reset a couple days ago, and the problem has yet to resurface, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's gone, but the issue was intermittent so there is no way to be completely sure it won't show up again.
If it does, I'll try your suggestion, thanks
Hi,
So I had the razer phone for a week now and wondering if anyone has experienced or fixed two things:
1) Is quick charging always on?
I can't find any setting for it and I charge at night so I don't need quick charge unless it's an emergency.
2) When using headphones, Google music and YouTube will pause and start playing randomly. I would of thought maybe a unstable internet connection might be the case but even my downloaded music does it as well.
If anyone has solutions or can confirm they have the same issues, would be greatly appreciated.
I have had a similar issue as well. I use slingbox heavily, and when using my Verizon 4g sim for Data only, and Wi-Fi enabled I would see a random Grey (looks like a blank message prompt) blurp appear at the bottom, center of my screen. It would cause my Slingbox app to lose connection and close the video. Once i removed the Sim card from the phone, and use it in Wi-Fi only mode, I do not get the problem. I thought I would share my similar story.
Cheers.
Well, if anyone else is getting the random pausing and playing, I have narrowed down the issue to the USB audio dongle having some wiggle room when plugged in (IE standing or sitting still = no problems but if you're moving, you have a good chance of the dongle wiggling around and causing disconnects and reconnects which is why it pauses and plays).

No I am not. I did not have the phone connected to a charger when i encountered this problem. I came across it when i was doing battery test. I crank the brightness up, and stream my slingbox to see how long they can go. When my slingbox kept dropping connection, but not displaying a network error I started to take more notice of the issue. Once I was able to catch the problem in the act, I saw this random grey window appear at the bottom center of my screen. Slingbox drops the video, and goes back to the main login screen. The amount of time between disconnecting was also random. Sometimes it would disconnect almost right away, other times it would stay connected upto 15 minutes before dropping.
Once I remove the Sim and use Wi-Fi only, there is no issue.
Cheers.

I am in the same situation. With my CDMA/UMTS/LTE sim card I do get a data connection but I have frequent data drop offs. I'd see LTE, one minute then half signal with 3G then no signal at all. Even with cellular data off and only on wifi i would also experience drop offs of from the wifi also. It would even drop my magic jack calls only on home wifi as soon as the other person answered. Took the sim card out and I have no issues.
I think he was asking if you were trolling because we are off topic in that we do not have GSM carriers.

I don't use Bluetooth that often so I decided to turn it off. First I used the quick tile, but it came back on by itself an hour or two later. So I tried doing it in settings. Same thing, came back on.
Bluetooth scanning and wireless scanning are turned off.
Anyone else seeing this happen or have any ideas? Not a big deal but off should be off.
I noticed that too. I feel like there's Bluetooth scanning in the background and turns on when it is around a device it's connected to in the past. I notice when I get in my car, it's already on and connected to it.
yes it drives me crazy. It turns on after each reboot.

I unpaired it from the car and it still does it. But it knows I am in the car because it suggests I plug it in for Android auto. So I suspect you are right, it is scanning even if turned off and turns itself back on when it sees a know device.
