I have a retus version on stock ROM (non-Amazon). I have 5-6 BT devices connected (Moto 360 watch on persistent, some headsets, headphones, speakers, car, etc.). They are all different brands (Plantronics, JBL, Taotronics, etc.). Almost every time I use a device and then it off, after awhile when I try to connect another device it won't connect. Then I need to reboot phone before it will connect again. Not every time, but most times. Just turning off the BT on phone and back on used to work sometimes but doesn't now. Anyone else have this problem and any suggested fixes? Thanks.
Has your phone done any updates, security patches etc, used to have to remove all previous Bluetooth items on my samsung, then reboot and add them back, before they would automatically reconnect, could be the same for moto.

I'm new to andriod world and got my 32A (Australia Three baranded) weeks ago
Thanks for Cyanogen and all other valuable threads
Currently using CyanogenMod-3.9.9.1 (after nights of reading before I flash the ROM...)
Bought a new bluetooth handsfree VOYAGER 855 (mainly for listen to music) recently and here is the problem.
It can connects the first time and play music, calls and game with no problems BUT if I either switch off the device or disconnects the device from setting or disable bluetooth I cant make the media connects again (Phone call is fine but not everything else)
Only solution is re- boot my magic....which is really annoying
Also, other minor thing is whenever I plug my Magic to a PC (never connect before), the phone just restart itself without any messages/notification/errors is that normal
Many many thanks
Really tempted to try HERO roms but bluetooth is one of my concern but now...
Have u tried going into the bluetooth settings long pressing the headset then enabling media? Easiest way for me is Just disconnecting it then pairing it up again I also have the 855 and get this problem every now and then.
I've try many ways includes unpair and pairing.
inital disconnect from phone, inital disconnect from device, disable bluetooth.
but still I need to reboot my phone to get media to works.
and what device name it shown on the device list on yours?
It just show 8XXPlantronics on mine and it show once with 855 but i dont get it again after unpair that time. more, is your one asking for the key "0000" when connects, after I try un/pairing 50 times yesterday it just occassionally asked ~ 5 times.
Thanks for your replied
Cheers
I got a new MOTO 4G Play to replace and older Samsung. I like it except for one thing. I have to unpair ("forget") the device and then cycle the radio on and off a couple times and then turn on the adapter and then pair and connect to get it to work. I have to do this each time.
I've contacted that adapter mfg and moto they both point to each other. They even said a new pone won't likely fix the problem. No one is actually interested in solving the problem. I'm sure there are plenty of others in the same situation. The adapter mfg says it is a problem with moto phones.
Are there any bluetooth radio hacks or other versions. I don't know what radio I have or how to find out. I'd rather not go with a complete custom ROM at this time.
Any suggestions on what the problem could be, how to fix, how to address compatibility problems when both mfgs say the other is causing the problem. Is there somewhere to officially complain about BT compatibility issues? Is BT an industry standard or a specific company that licenses it?
It seems like I should have some recourse here, but, so far I've spent a lot of time going in circles dealing with level 1 support people who only fill in forms or read off lists as well as time and money spent on phone calls, being put on hold, etc.
While Bluetooth is an industry standard, there are different versions (3.0, 4.0, 4.1, etc.) which transmit data in different ways. There are other standards as well, such as A2DP. But for all of this to work, both devices need to be able to detect each others' Bluetooth MAC and store it long term. If one device forgets it has that knowledge, then it won't recognize the others' BTMAC at all.
Changing to a ROM isn't going to fix this (Lineage is notorious for killing BT when you change from cellular to WiFi, and to this day it still isn't completely fixed). What I recommend is going into Apps, looking for Bluetooth Share, and clearing its data. Then try re-pairing to the device.
I tried clearing the data as you suggested as well as during a hard reset and that doesn't work.
I do have a sequence of steps that works pretty consistently, but, I have to do it interactively. I'm wondering if I could just write a script to do these steps. Some of them like the pairing and the connection take a little time and may need some timing steps. Ideally it could access a signal when the connection is made or not made etc. I could just set it in motion and go about putting on the seatbelt, starting the car, etc while it is working.
I have no idea what commands the different things I interact with use. It involves forgetting the connection, cycling airplane mode on and off, pairing and then after they are paired connecting. Any ideas?
Some people on the Moto forums suggest disabling Bluetooth Scanning. It seems to work for some people; others report no change in their connection after turning it off.
I'm running LineageOS, and as the previous reply stated, my Bluetooth restarts when changing between WiFi and cell data. I tried Bluetooth scanning on and off, and neither seemed to fix the Bluetooth restarts.
I've used 3 different phones with my FM radio bluetooth receiver - a device I am forced to use, as my cars bluetooth is too old - it connects for phone calls, but wont connect to my phone to play audio files, hence why i use this device.
LG v20 - no problems. P10 Plus? Different story.
Mid-song over the bluetooth device, it suddenly de-syncs itself and the audio starts playing over the phones loud speaker. Completely unprompted. So I disconnect the bluetooth device inb my car, turn it back on....then it suddenly reconnects with the phone and continues playing the audio without interruption inside my car. This happens several times over a 30-45 minute period.
Bluetooth should just be bluetooth, right!? Can this be a quality control problem? An issue to do with unlocking the device or installing something like TWRP? This combined with the aweful features/stock apps of EMUI 5.1 is really destroying the experience for me. Anyone else had same or similar issues?

I dont have this problem. Bluetooth is very strong and very stable. Try updating your phone firmware it might help
EMUI is very decent. If you dont like the layouts given, you are on android. So easy to slap on a different launcher.

I'd argue that EMUI is one of the main things that stand in the way for more people to switch over to Huawei. That, and quality control. I possibly have a dodgy phone, its just this device I am using has not had problems with 2 other smartphones.
I will update the firmware to 151 (latest in my region) as soon as I know how to do it safely (boot unlock, TWRP and root installed - dont want to lose any)

Similar Bluetooth problem with Huawei p10
I have similar problem with Huawei 10. Bluetooth connection doesn't work with my built in Media system. All other phone devices connect and work fine, but Huawei p10 doesn't work. I just posted my issue here on YouTube. You can find it by searching 'Huawei p10 Bluetooth problem'.
having same issue as yours. music wont play through bluetooth. :/
temp solution is delete cache in bluetooth share in APP and restart your device. but that only works for one time. if you want to connect another time, must do the same steps. I am sure it is a software bug
try powering the device off then hold volume up and power the phone on at the same time and keep holding volume up until you see a EMIUI recovery mode from there select Delete Cache data and when thats done click on Restart/Reboot the device then see if problem remains. I had todo this steps few times when google play store would hang on "Downloading..." status now and then, But when I got B170 firmware for my p10 plus it sorta fixed it and now installs properly.
P.S my issue is different but you never know, this might even fix the bluetooth issue. So it's worth a try.
Can someone please tell me how to connect to paired devices on my P2?
As stated, pairing works fine, but how do you actually make a paired device connect? I can't find any option in the EMUI!?
I have 3 main devices that I pair to my phone via bluetooth: watch/lg tone/car
The watch stays paired with no issues, but the watch is having issues swapping from the lg tones to the car and vice versa.
Anyone found a remedy for this?
As of now, I have to go into the bluetooth settings of the one I don't want to use and deselect media/phone, then go to the other and select media/phone. And even sometimes this takes multiple times to work.
My previous phone (gs7) had no issues swapping from the two.
Hi,
Did you get a solution ? I face the same problem and can't find any solution...
Just to clarify, when you are in your car and want to connect to it, the headphones are turned off, correct?
Having similar issues... Every time I try to connect to my car (stock Subaru WRX), I have to manually connect and it takes several attempts before it connects. Once it connects it usually doesn't drop though. Very frustrating...

It's not in my car but with the bluetooth device of my motorcycle helmet. The reference is ncom bluetooth kit 3. I have to connect it manually and it takes several attempts before it connects. Sometimes it doesn't connect at all....
I have 2 headset Plantronics Backbeat Pro and Plantronics Backbeat Fit. They both work flawlessly
My Huawei Watch also works.
But my Nokia 616 Car kit wont connect at all.
And my motorcycle hemlet bluetooth kit, Cardo scala rider PACKTALK, connects, but the audio is slowed down to about 80 percent?
Same thing here.
I have been facing problems with a Sony SBH52 Headset and with my Opel Corsa E, stock infotainment system.
It gives me a hard time connecting but when it does it's stable.
I had the same with my gen 1 Moto 360 but after a factory reset to the watch and a reboot it's stable.

I had the same issue with my TSX. I did some research and cleared the cache. Worked like a charm afterwards. Did not have the issue one week since doing that

Ahem, I seem to be unable to find bluetooth in my app settings. Can you please give me a hint?
It's been driving me crazy these days with my SBH-52 and I want to try this too.
Thanks!
P.S.
I'll also give it a shot with a plantronics pro headset I have to see if it does the same.
Bluetooth profiles implementations, even though they passed certification, are not always made equal! So don't end up pulling your hair if a certain BT device doesn't play nice with another.
Just as an example... Head Unit X had big issues with the initial contacts sync, right after pairing with Samsung phones (already known to sometimes play around some other standards). It would only work after several reconnects. After several weeks of debugging (poor development guys) and reproduction test (poor testing guys) it was concluded that it is a phone issue caused by some wrong timing delays in the process of exchanging information between the HU and the phone. Samsung was informed and the ticket was internally closed.
I have similar problem with Bluetooth Earbuds. Phone simple doesn't "see" the Earbuds. But strange - it can see other Bluetooth devices and other devices can see Earbuds.
I'm sure this is a OnePlus 5 software problem.
Version OxygenOS 4.5.10
i have somhow issue as urs, i have Bluetooth pad lock and android watch, it sometimes connected and sometimes not, i do believe its software issue, im on 4.5.11
Yes, it is strange. After some restarts and on/offs connection suddenly appears
Since the previous two updates on my Verizon V20 were installed (VS99518A & VS99519A) running 7.0 , I have been having bluetooth issues where there are momentary pauses while connected to BT earphones and random "rustling" sounds when I am connected to my car stereo (A2DP). There are even times the bluetooth does not reconnect (have to manually select the paired device at the pop-up).
I have already performed a factory reset and it still happens. These issues do not occur on other android phones so it can't be my stereo and bt earphones' at fault.
Any ideas? What should I check?
Thanks.
I really wish I could help you. Ive been having the same issues. Please follow up if you figure it out and I will as well
Same here
The 7.0 update took a while to get to me but now that it has, I'm not impressed and wish I could revert.
Immediately after I started noticing the same issues as OP. In addition, I can no longer BT FTP send to my desktop but I can receive from the desktop.
I've tried quite a number of things to resolve but none have. Several soft resets, hard reset, network reset, factory reset, reset of desktop settings (although apparently not needed a SIM-less Galaxy S4 does NOT have issues with BT FTP to the same desktop....
Attempting to pair the two, the S4 can see the V20 but the V20 does not recognize the S4.
I believe it is 7.0 update related because all was fine prior and the issues were noticed just 20 minutes after.
