Bluetooth disconnecting - Elephone S7 Questions & Answers

Hi had s7 for a week now had a few problems with hangouts message notification not appearing have had start using messager app instead. Tune in radio app stopping 10mins after screen goes to sleep. But main problem is with Bluetooth constantly disconnecting and reconnecting every few second not usable, considering going back to using nexus 5

There is a system app/setting called "Clear Background App", have you tried adding the Tune in radio app as a white listed app ?
I use the bluetooth on my car audio & its been working quite nice..

Thanks for help,
added tune in to white list and now working with screen off, added hangouts as well hopefully notifications will come through now. Deleted Bluetooth setting on phone and car and turned off battery optimization for Bluetooth seems OK for now.

Get rid of car mode/ Bluetooth call screens

I connect my phone to my deck via bluetooth for music. When the car is off and I walk away, every time I get or make a call the phone interface is still on the bluetooth car mode. This means that its automatically on speaker phone and the screen does not turn off when you put the phone to your ear. For the love of god I have no idea why anyone thinks its a good idea to have annoying features like this that seem impossible to turn off (car mode cannot be "turned off" like other stock apps) and then prevent us from getting root to get rid of this crap.
I would like some help on this though. How to keep bluetooth on and not have it automatically go into a car mode phone interface. Thanks.
I still haven't figured out what this is after about a 35 minute round of google searches. The screen I'm seeing is one with huge buttons that are comprised of "end call" bluetooth" and "speaker". Can't bring up number pad either. I can SS if needed.
This is what the screens look like. This isn't the normal S5 calling screens, right? Still trying to figure this out.
Started happening to me. I turned on car mode, went to settings, unchecked to automatically start when connected to Bluetooth, and turned car mode off. Solved the problem for me.

Favorite Tasker Profiles

What are your favorite tasker profiles?
Experiencing any issues while using Tasker?
Mine so far are:
Sleep - starting at 10 pm turn off wifi, bt, auto sync, mobile data and turn sounds to 0
Alarm - When alarm goes off switch to task labeled Normal
Day - Everything on and sounds at least 3/4
Car - when connected to my car stereo bt turn sounds all the way up and turn off wifi
Working on others and always looking to consolidate and be more efficient.
Look forward to hearing about yours.
My favorite..
wake up with a random song from your music collection
start the day with a particular application showing
create a Home widget to
toggle bluetooth/wifi on/off
launch wireless settings dialog
show a menu of tasks to choose
send an emergency SMS with your GPS location
etc..:cyclops:

Bluetooth Connected keeps showing on secondary screen

Whenever I connect to one of my Bluetooth devices it shows that it's "Connected to xxxxx" in the secondary screen.
However, after I disconnect from the Bluetooth device it still says its connected in the secondary screen and the secondary screen just hangs there frozen saying its connected. I can only get rid of it by restarting the device.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm experiencing this issue. I think it started happening after applying the latest update.
to fix it w/o restarting the device, you can go to settings - display - second screen and turn off 'show when main screen on' and back on.
I have this and all kinds of BT issues with my car.
Bluetooth has given me a lot of problems. Secondary screen stuck displaying the "connected" message, Bluetooth crashing, and high CPU usage when not connected. I've had better experience by toggling Bluetooth off and on with Tasker after disconnecting from my car. Figure it gives it a kick causing it to play nice.

So it's not just me having bluetooth issues lately. I was getting ready to drop by AT&T because of all the problems it''s been giving me lately connecting to things on bluetooth...
Mine has recently started doing the same thing with second screen stuck on connected to vehicle Bluetooth. I do remember updating recently so I am unsure what cause this issue. I am using stock with ATT

I tried this trick and it only works temporarily. After an hour or so the same connection message will appear even though I'm not connected. So annoying. Come on LG! I like their devices but there is always some annoying issues with their phones.
Are you guys also experiencing general notification issues?
Example, I click on a Twitter or Kijiji notification and the app won't open or I can't respond within the notification shade any more.

I'm wondering if this is the cause of everyone else's bluetooth/notification issues. Worth a shot.
Ever since I upgraded to 10K from 10J on T-Mobile it has started doing this. Once I am connected I never have a problem with Bluetooth but connecting has been inconsistent ever since upgrading. My car stereo for example used to connect automatically now to get it to reconnect I have to turn off the stereo and the Bluetooth radio on my phone and then both back on @ same time otherwise I have to manually connect through the phone BT menu
Been having issues with bluetooth too. I've gotten into the habit of just turning it off after I get out of the car, then turning it on right before I get back in the car. If I leave it on all the time it fails to connect about half the time I turn on the car, if not more. Strangely I don't have the same issue with my Anker speakers, so I sort of assumed the car was the problem, but it seems not from these comments

This seems to have fixed it for me! I had the same issue after updating my phone to the latest build.

Same exact issue. It only seems to happen to my car stereo since I upgraded to 10K. But my other speakers and headsets 99% of the time it will connect by itself.
Same issue here. Super annoying. Appears to have shown up around the same time that all my notifications stopped working.
I've been having the same issue. I use Car Home Ultra, and noticed that it was very delayed starting, and would start randomly even after leaving my car/disconnecting bluetooth. I thought it was a problem with that app, but now it appears it's that the phone is delayed in notifying of bluetooth connect/disconnect.
I constantly have the "connected" notification taking up the second screen until I reboot.
I am experiencing this aswell, and , when connecting to my SYNC 3 in my Ford Focus, it says connected, but it isn't. If someone rings me, the hand set rings.
It seems to be the initial handshake, if the phone's bluetooth is off when i turn car on, then i turn blutooth on and select "sync 3" it's all good, but if bluetooth is already on , and i switch car on , i get the message on the radio it's connected to my phone... but i cant access contacts or messages ( even though they are ticked in bluetooth menu )...
lucky for the 2 year warranty...
Disabling the Google app has fixed this issue and fixed my push notifications. Not ideal but doesn't appear any other answer exists.
Anybody have any updates on this issue? I have been having the connected message showing more frequently to my vehicles. I have been turning off second display and back on to remove. Thanks for the suggestion Adam about disabling Google app but like you said it is not ideal.
So on Verizon they just pushed a system update. Post update, I enabled Google app, and everything appears to be working great thus far.
I don't remember when but the issue just kind of went away without any action on my part. Maybe it was an update?

Whatsapp Audio playback stutter when screen off

Hello,
I'm trying to help a friend with her problem on Samsung A9. whenever she is playing voice messages sent to her on whatsapp over bluetooth, they play fine as long as the screen is on. the minute the screen goes off, the voice recording starts to stutter. the minute you turn the screen on and unlock the phone, it plays fine again. the problem occurs only via bluetooth & only whatsapp voice recordings. playing songs on google play music are ok when screen is off, it's only whatsapp recordings over bluetooth when the screen is off. recently the phone was updated to pie & I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this problem.
I have tried:
unpairing and repairing bluetooth
Trying another bluetooth ear piece
Clear Bluetooth cache
Reset Wifi & bluetooth settings
Remove Whatsapp & bluetooth from battery optimization & allow background activity
Turn off wifi & bluetooth scanning
No power saving enabled
Clear partition cache
In developer options tried changing AVRCP version annd codecs
reinstalling whatsapp which solves the problem for a short while & it comes back
Even tried going to Safe mode to see if it happens there as well but all 3rd party apps like whatsapp are not working there so couldn't test.
a regular recording that was sent to her via whatsapp (a phone call recording attached as a file in whatsapp) was playing just fine on bluetooth when the screen was off, it's only an issue with the built in voice recordings in whatsapp. whatsapp is updated to the latest version and the phone was upgraded to pie. would appreciate any help.
i have the same issue. Curious about a solution!

Issue: No Voice Turn By Turn Navigation and 1 other small thing

Hello,
My new pixel 4xl is working great except for 2 reasons. The main one being I don't get turn by turn voice navigation. I get no voice at all when navigating. COnsidering I drive for Uber on the side this is very bad.
I checked all settings and they are all correct as far as I can tell - play over bluetooth and everything is on. Doesn't matter if I am on BT or not, nothing. I've tried rebooting of course.
Second smaller issue is no audio sound goes off when What's App messages come through. I've checked all those settings in Apps & NOtifications and they all look good. What gives?

Try opening the Android Auto app. on your phone & check 'Driving Mode' is not selected to 'Do Not Disturb'. I had a similar problem where my Music app was not showing up & turn by turn voice navigation was muted.
After changing this setting AA now appears to work as it should. Sounds like you might have the same problem. Anyway, worth a try. Good luck [emoji106]

Do you have captions enabled when there is voice? This may do closed captioning while silencing the volume until you adjust the volume.
Someone in the 4xl mentioned a similar issue. I think they worked out that they were on the maps beta. Coming out of that resolved the issue.
