Sigh. Bluetooth constantly disconnects. - LG G Watch R

I have a Note 4 and have zero problems with BT disconnects but this damned watch seems to disconnect every 10 minutes then won't reconnect. What a pain.

Not sure what firmware you have on your note 4 but I had this on my note 3 when I had my phone running lollipop leak firmware
Since going back to kit kat on the phone it hasn't lost connection once
I think therefore there are issues with lollipop currently

I have this constantly on my Verizon Galaxy note 3 with Eclipse 2.2 ROM. With watchmaker, I'm constantly feeling 2 vibrating pulses (disconnection), immediately followed by a single vibrating pulse (reconnect).
Frustrating as all hell. I've searched forums and online but nobody else seems to have this same problem.
Cheers,
B.D.
EDIT: I just froze Google "Hangouts" app on my phone based on another post that said sometimes certain programs (hangouts, Skype, and a few others were mentioned) and suddenly no more disconnections in the past 30 minutes.... I will monitor it for a few hours/days to see if the disconnections return, but this may be what has been causing my phone to disconnect/reconnect every couple of minutes....

Yes, it`s Lollipop 5.0 bluetooth issue. Works fine with Teamsek 5.0.2 CM12, Resurrection 5.4.0 and of course KitKat 4.4.2 roms.

Ok, after too much frustration I flashed a mostly unmodified ROM onto my phone, and my issues disappeared. My battery life is much better, and I do not get constant disconnections/re-connections anymore.
My thoughts are that some of the pseudo-drivers used on ROMs may not be completely compatible with some of the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices, or specialty devices, such as Android Wear watches.
Cheers,
B.D.

I have the same problems with my Note 3 on Lollipop 5.0.1. Very bad.
Update: now I am back on 4.2.2 and everything works fine. Maybe there is a way to handle this problem?

Delayed or not receiving Notifications?

Hi everyone,
I have had the Moto G 2nd Gen for about 10 days now and I have noticed that notifications from several apps (Exchange email, Gmail, Whatspp, Facebook...) are either delayed by a few hours or don't come at all. This happens on both Wifi or my network. Has anyone else experienced this ?
I have tried the following with no success:
1- disable Wifi optimization
2- factory reset phone
3- Installed PNF No-Root and set hearbeat to 5min
4- Cleared data & cache of apps
My phone is not rooted running 4.4.4
Thanks
Yes I am having the same problem this is my thread on the subject:http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/notification-problems-t2875216
I have tried 1, 2 and 4 of your attempts to fix it to no avail.
Before I reset the phone all notifications showed the correct time that they should have come, for example if I slept the phone at 10:40 and a notification came at 10:44, I then woke the phone at 10:50 the phone would immediately buzz and sound but it would say the notification came at 10:44 in the notification draw.
However after the factory reset of the device in the same situation the notification draw would show 10:50 but I know that is wrong because WhatsApp for instance will say the correct 10:44 timestamp on the message in the app.
Notifications when the phone is awake come through perfectly every time.
The problem is actually not limited to just notifications, I play music from my phone, when the the phone is awake it plays perfectly, when you sleep the phone, the music will carry on playing but occasionally it will have a hiccup where it will stop playing for a split second then carry on, and sometimes at the end of a song you expect the next song to start but it never will, if you then wake the device the song will start playing like nothing was wrong (exactly how the notification problem is).
I don't know what the problem is I suspect something to do with bad software or faulty hardware if there is a specific part of the hardware that only comes into play when sleeping (I don't know if there is or not).
What are the specifics of your phone? Mine is a XT1068 8GB Dual SIM Retail GB completely stock 4.4.4, the system version is: 21.11.14.titan_retgb.retbgall.en.GB retgb, will be good to know if this affects specific versions of the phone or any version, to narrow down the problem.
The problem is also completely random I cannot 'make' the problem happen it just does.
Mine is the same as yours XT1068 8GB Dual SIM Retail GB 21.11.14.titan_retgb.retbgall.en.GB retgb.
I also have the same problem with music, I also noticed this with chromecast, it seems to loose connection after playing one track.
I contacted Motorola assist and they said replace the phone. I'm not sure if replacing it will solve the problem, I'm guessing this is a software issue. I
I got it from Amazon UK, I'm thinking of returning this and going back to my Galaxy Nexus and wait for the new Nexus phone.
Because we have the same software version I more strongly suspect this is a software issue now, I'm not sure what to do, I don't really want to return the phone as I will be left phoneless and a replacement would just come with the same software.
Another option would be to re flash to a different software version (an international version) but that will invalidate the warranty.
Not really sure what to do, would be good hearing if any retGB people are not having any problems, if any are reading this thread? or if any non retGB are having this problem.

:\ it doesn't look like that app fixes it even when changing the interval to 1min.
I've sort of found a way to at least make it happen to test stuff, using 2 devices I have installed Telegram on both and set each device up with different numbers so I can message from one device to the other, using the other device to the Moto G if I send messages sometimes the notification is instant, sometimes it is a minute later, there is no pattern on whether it will receive it instantly or delayed, however waking the device will always make the phone buzz if it is delayed.
If I add my tablet into the mix (tablet and Moto G on the same number) the difference is very stark, sending 5 quick fire messages the tablet buzzes for every message, the Moto G may buzz for the first and maybe the 2nd but then nothing for the other 3, or none at all, or none and then double beep on the last message or a little time after the last message. (all this is on WiFi)
The best news is that it has eventually beeped within a couple of minutes for every message, but in a conversation on WhatsApp a couple of minutes is a long time.
Again if the phone is awake or playing music while sleeping it works perfect a beep for every message every time (WiFi Again). (I know PNF is only a partial fix for WhatsApp and Telegram but I can't test it easily with Gmail and the main concern is WhatsApp as I want those messages without delay)
It's definitely something to do with keeping the phone 'active', if it's playing the music it works, if it's doing nothing it is literally like it's sleeping on the job.
I'm going to test on 3G but seems to work almost perfect so far (I haven't really used my phone on 3G much as I'm normally on WiFi)
@katkat911 can you tell me about your WiFi setup it isn't TP-Link is it? because I'm wondering if it could be a WiFi setup issue as my phone originally couldn't even detect my router until I changed some settings. (I know you have the problem on 3G too)
Apologies if this is a bit rambly I want to put my casual findings out there in order to let others have the information.
Been testing on 3G, after the phone is slept all notifications work perfectly for 10 minutes with the phone buzzing a second or 2 after my tablet, if you sleep the phone and send a message after 10 minutes the phone will only buzz after 30 minutes from being slept (ie the heartbeat).
I've reinstalled PNF app and will experiment more tomorrow, still not sure how I will fix WiFi but I think a little more experimentation is required (yet doesn't make sense why my tablet always works 100% and the phone doesn't when using the same router)

I agree with you that it has something to do with phone going to sleep. My WiFi router is Netgear. I have they same problem with every other WiFi network and also on 3G. I didnt have this problem on my previous phone Galaxy Nexus.
PNF doesnt seem to work at all.
Notification problem is proved. I also have the issue. that 10 mins theory is absolutely right. as both of you have done good research, I would suggest one of you create a question at https://forums.motorola.com/hives/e3ec93b1d7/summary and summarize all your findings. Some one from Motorola will respond definitely. I see this as a deep sleep issue with the kernel. Once submitted, you can share the link of your thread here. I and others will comment confirming this as a common problem.

I have posted this on the Motoral forums here https://forums.motorola.com/posts/dbb4806484
I have been experimenting again today, the problem is significantly worse on WiFi notifications are much slower than on 3G, the problem seems completely unreplicable, sometimes notifications come though aOK even after I have left the device sleeping for an hour (using WiFi) or sometimes the notification will be delayed for several minutes even if it has only just been slept (again using WiFi), 3G on the other hand there is a definite 10 minute cut off from sleeping the device.
I've had PNF installed since last night and it doesn't help WiFi at all, but 3G it might, I say might because sometimes after 10 minutes (even an hour later) if I send a notification I do receive it straight away (something that never happened before I installed PNF) but then sometimes it doesn't and it's delayed for several minutes again.
I will join the Moto forum and add my weight to that when I get back to my computer as you need to sign in with a Google account.
I've also noticed that if the phone is sleeping whilst charging notifications work flawlessly in much the same way playing music while the device is sleeping they do. I've posted this finding in the Moto forums as well.
Fingers crossed we get a solution :fingers-crossed:

I have also noticed that. It seems that many are having this issue, so far no reply from Motorola
Motorola might be investigating about it. Yesterday i went back to dalvik from art. I tested the notifications the while day. On Wi-Fi, i didn't see the delays any more. In 3g many tests were successful even after 1hr of deep sleep. Only at 4pm India time i found a delay of 22 mins for whatsapp notification. There i also realized that it had switched to 2g due to bad signal in that room. I was definitely having problem when i was on art. Last night i also got the ota for build 23. I see that the kernel is updated. I will monitor one more day and report here.
Motorola has at least seen the post even with no reply, I just hope they are busy behind the scenes working out what is wrong so they can fix it.
I've never used ART (I'm completely stock), and all the problems are still happening today, unfortunately Telegram is being DDoS'd today so haven't been able to test anything out.
It will be interesting to hear if the update you received helps in any way, esp with the updated kernel, since your retGB device received it hopefully ours may do soon too.
As far as I can tell it doesn't affect calls and SMS, but I simply don't use SMS or calls at all (WhatsApp ftw) so my testing has been the odd 'prank' phone call from my 2nd phone and it rings every time, but it's not enough to confirm if it's a fluke or if in fact it does not affect phone calls/SMS.
SMS and calls won't be impacted due to this. It's mostly related to deep sleep state of the phone. It will impact data connectivity mostly.
I have been testing as and when possible after the update. On Wi-Fi, I didn't see any delays for WhatsApp, Facebook notification, exchange mails through nine app even if the phone was in sleep mode fur an hour or so. I saw 1 min delay in Viber twice.

That's good news, hopefully the update has indeed fixed it, there's no indication when the update will hit the UK but if it does fix it then ASAP I hope.

How is the phone with the new OTA update ? are notifications still delayed?
There's still no word from Motorola

In a different thread Motorola amin had mentioned that they are investigating the notification delay issue. I don't see much delays after the update. There are few mins here and there, but mostly good. If you haven't received the update yet, check the ota thread and update manually. It's the same update. Then see if you find any improvement.
I got the OTA update yesterday and I'm still having the same issues

Pandora crashing?

Has anyone else had an issue on the S6 Edge with the Pandora app not responding? Nothing I have tried has stopped the issue. Sometimes it will play for a while, but as soon as I turn my screen on it will freeze up, slow down my whole phone and then eventually just either stop running altogether or will display an ANR. It was doing this when I had the phone completely stock and still does it after I have rooted.
I have uninstalled, cleared application cache, cleared phone cache, changed settings with data and nothing will fix it.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks
I also wanted to report I have the same issue but I have the HTC M8. I don't think its specific to the S6.

chiming in from VZW G3, can confirm it is not limited to only the s6. I had freezing on both 5.1.1 AOSP and 5.0.2 stock rooted.
If you’re acquiring issues for the S6 Edge with the Pandora application certainly not replying, often times quitting your current application, re-opening that and also going back to http://www.pandora.com for your best suggestions.
I have had an issue when running my Pandora as well. It makes a crackling sound if I'm scrolling or touching the screen while it plays and then after a few of those crackles it just starts emitting this horrible high pitched squeal until I hit the back button enough times. Even then if any sound comes through the phone like a notification or incoming call, it starts again until I reboot it. I've had the phone for less than 24 hours...
S6 here and Pandora problems as well...just stops responding and I get the wait, report or OK prompt.
Thing is, it worked fine at first and my phone had not been updated, so I'm assuming at some point Pandora updated and fubard it.
Hope there's a fix soon!
I have this issue as well on a Nexus 6 pretty much every time I use Pandora. I've never had a problem in the past on any prior phone. I haven't seen many other people talking about this so I have kind of assumed it's related to Lollipop and having a lot of apps installed or something (worth noting even if I remove all apps from recents and reboot it still happens).
So frustrating. At least I'm not alone.

Phone keeps forgetting Bluetooth pairs.

My Nexus 6 keeps forgetting my Bluetooth pairs. I'll wake up and notice that my pairs are gone. Which is an annoyance with my car and Android Wear watch. It happened once before but then when it happened last night I know there is an issue. It started after I upgraded to Marshmallow. I'm running the MRA58R build. Any ideas?
I have the same issue...ever since marshmallow...both 6.0.0 official and 6.0.1 official, both times before installs the phone was wiped...but never the less it always forgets my bluetooth pairs
it seems to correlate to when the phone fully dies. If the phone fully dies 1-2 out of 5 times it will boot back up without the bluetooth pairings.
Also if I don't pair my Wear watch(original 360) this does not seem to happen either
I'm having this issue as well. My phone will randomly ask to pair with my car, even though it's been paired already. And sometimes it will just ask me to allow it to share Messaging, which was also already set. It's frustrating. I've only noticed it with Marshmallow.
For me it doesn't seem to correlate with charge level.
Having the same problem here and now that you mention it, it does seem to happen when it fully dies. Until someone comes up with a solution I'm going to see about backing them up and restore if it happens again.
Allowing your phone to completely die is a bad idea. The sudden shut down is what is corrupting it.
Also restoring that type of system data is just asking for other random issues, also not a great idea.
While I run an AOSP based rom I have never had my device forget any of my 5 BT pairings.
I agree don't let phone die.
Also if low battery plays a role (before phone dies), it could be related to battery saver features that can activate at low batteries level. (Adjustable in settings)
For the android wear app, turn off battery optimization (to prevent it from being interrupted by doze. )
I have had zero disconnection between my n6 and my moto 360 g1 android wear watch in the last month.
I have the same problem with my car pairing. I never let the battery for or get into battery saver mode so it's definitely not battery related for me.

My phone has done this now twice in three days on N Preview 3. Has anyone found a solution?
mine does it too. but it will forget ALL my paired devices. it's pretty annoying
This is happening to me as well. Nexus 6 is forgetting all paired bluetooth devices.
Most annoying is the Android Wear issue because I've been having to factory reset the watch to get it to pair again. Some of this might be the watch because I'm running a Samsung Gear 2 with Android Wear but I also have several other devices that I have to repair every time.
Also seems to correlate with the battery dying.
There has to be a common bug. As all my devices have no issue remembering the pairing. Mind you I also dont pair to my car.
Also keep in mind that it was found long ago that OEM put in lists of cars that it will not work with in their roms. We found it on samsung devices years ago where it would block all connections to BMW, Audi and a few others.
N6 running 6.0.1 (no root)
This just started happening to me yesterday but has happened twice so far in two days. My phone has not died as seems to be a symptom for others here. It did get below 10% today but I charged it up without issue. it wasn't until several hours later that it wiped all of its paired devices. below is a list of my paired devices:
Samsung ATIV book 8 (windows 10)
UE Mobile BoomBox
Moto360 2nd Gen
2014 Infiniti Q50
2015 Nissan Murano
After it wiped everything yesterday I re-paired the following:
Samsung ATIV book 8
Infiniti Q50
Moto 360
After the first wipe today I paired the watch and the car.
If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful. This is a GIANT PIA!
Does not look like there is a solution to this forthcoming... is there anyone with this problem that's recently updated to N? And has it gone away? I get this usually after a forced reboot... all bt settings gone. Totally a problem.
Any update on this. I think it started happening after I updated to 7 and then went back to 6 after having battery issues?

I have this same problem too. Running Android 6.0.1 on a Samsung Galaxy A5. I drive a lot for work, and need my phone paired to a JVC headunit (listed as JVC UNIT on my phone) in my van so I can take phone calls handsfree, and listen to podcasts. Every now and again, maybe once a day, with no rhyme or reason that I can discern, I get into the van and notice that my phone is not paired. It's a pain to have to pull over and re-pair the phone, and then set it up a a trusted bluetooth device again (so as to avoid entering my passcode whenever unlocking the screen).
- Definitely nothing to do with battery levels. My phone is normally fully charged and plugged in to a charger.
- I don't lose all paired devices, as my UE Boom 2 (not often used) is still listed as a paired device, whereas the JVC UNIT drops off fairly often.
Please could someone sort this issue out! It sounds like quite a few people are experiencing it.
thanks,
Phil

Device randomly rewinds/fast-forwards podcasts

Hi all,
So I recently received a replacement S6 (because of a camera vibrating issue). Thankfully that issue is fixed, but what I've come to realize is that whenever I listen to podcasts, my phone would randomly rewind or fast-forward what I am currently listening to on its own. It took me a day to realize I wasn't crazy.
For example:
While listening to a podcast using Podcast Addict or PodBean, audio would randomly repeat the last 5 seconds, or skip forwards 5 seconds. I tried multiple stations, apps, and even kept the screen on to watch for it to happen. I thought it could possibly be my phone inputting commands on its own, so I watched and noticed Podbean only has a R/FF option for 30 seconds, yet it still does it in shorter increments.
Questions:
1. Has anyone experienced this before?
2. Is there any way to for the device to trigger a toast when a command is issued?
3. Would a keylogger work to find out what's happening? (I don't know..)
4. Should I get another device? Maybe this is why my current device was returned?
Currently on:
Galaxy S6 Replacement Device
Stock S6 MM 6.0.1
Having same issue.
I am having the same issue I started to notice it right after I updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1. Im using Pocket Casts as my podcast app. I have not found any fixes, I thought I was the only one with this kind of issue

Bluetooth Constantly Becoming Disabled

Within the last few weeks I have noticed that upon reset or simply after a period of time, my Bluetooth will either disconnect with my Moto 360 Sport or will become disabled altogether. If I restart my phone, the Bluetooth toggle in settings is always disabled.
Several users have been discussing this issue over in the PureNexus ROM forum, but we have not identified the culprit yet. Some who are experiencing it have Android Wear devices, but not all people do. Those who are experiencing it are on different ROMs, or different builds of the same ROM, leading me to believe that it is an app and not specific to a ROM. Also, for everyone who is experiencing it, it started withing the last few weeks.
I wanted to start a thread to allow people experiencing this issue to find a common cause so that we can correct it.
I'll also tag those who have said they are having this issue to lead them to this post: @Moguledyouth @uberbdon @MVLJR @ethanhunt123 @MysticKing32 @danman7 @hawkz28
I'm unsure which thread is the most appropriate to post this in, so I'll throw it here.
I don't believe the entire issue is tied to 7.1.1. I believe it originated in 7.1.0 or earlier, but got worse in 7.1.1. (Side note, I did on occasion get a "Bluetooth Share has stopped" notification, but only if I was actively using the phone).
My phone's bluetooth began "cycling" at the very latest in 7.1.0. I first noticed the issue when using an app called "wear aware," an app designed to let you know if you leave your phone behind (on your android wear watch). It was frequently giving me "false positives," so I ultimately uninstalled the app. I also began to have issues with android auto, where it would occasionally freeze and stop showing me data. Likewise, when I'd be on a phone call, my radio would randomly turn on and I'd assume the call got disconnected -- until I realized the other party was still on the line but now on speaker phone.
The reason I believe it got worse in 7.1.1 is because it used to cycle bluetooth. At least when it crashed, it restarted. Now it appears to require intervention to re-enable it. As a temporary work-around, I have Trigger set up to enable bluetooth if it gets disconnected from my watch. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but at least it re-enables bluetooth frequently for me (it claims to have run 10 times in the last 2 hours).
It's probably also worth noting that it's been reported on at least the Nexus 6 and the Pixel, from what I've seen.
My current setup:
PureNexus (1/21 release, rooted)
Franco Kernel
Huawei Watch
Prior to this, I was running Stock, unrooted, with the same issues.
Thanks for the workaround (Trigger) - like the speakerphone issue we are experiencing, it might not be an official fix but it works for now. It seems like the more updates we get, the more bugs we get. Seriously, 6.0.1 was about perfect, and I might flash back to that and add the additional Nougat features via xposed.

Anyone try to revert to an earlier dialer app or is it in the framework of the Feb patch?
I don't think it's the phone app. I get Bluetooth share disconnects with just a Pebble smartwatch.
As is stated in the second article, this issue is not related to the phone dialer app. I'll delete that post as it might cause some confusiom

I thought my phone was dying. I'm having this issue as well. I found that uninstalling Heart Trace, which records my heart rate every 15 minutes from my Huawei Watch, helped a lot with the Bluetooth issue.
It used to be that my Bluetooth would turn off in the middle of the night and I lose my sleep tracking data from my watch (Sleep as Android).
Don't google test their sofware?
This is a poor show by them.
Had the same issue and it stopped after clearing the data on the Bluetooth Midi service and the Bluetooth share apps

But how often do you have to keep doing this?

Within the last few weeks I have noticed that upon reset or simply after a period of time, my Bluetooth will either disconnect with my Moto 360 Sport or will become disabled altogether. If I restart my phone, the Bluetooth toggle in settings is always disabled.
Several users have been discussing this issue over in the PureNexus ROM forum, but we have not identified the culprit yet. Some who are experiencing it have Android Wear devices, but not all people do. Those who are experiencing it are on different ROMs, or different builds of the same ROM, leading me to believe that it is an app and not specific to a ROM. Also, for everyone who is experiencing it, it started withing the last few weeks.
I wanted to start a thread to allow people experiencing this issue to find a common cause so that we can correct it.
I'll also tag those who have said they are having this issue to lead them to this post: @Moguledyouth @uberbdon @MVLJR @ethanhunt123 @MysticKing32 @danman7 @hawkz28

I'd like to say that after (dirty) flashing the 2/15 update, my issue is resolved. When I reboot now, BT remains enabled.

PureNexus ROM. And I'm glad to hear that it resolved this issue, might be time to flashback over from stock.
On a side note, the one thing that I feel stock is missing, and this is minor, is a battery percentage that is not in the icon. Google has added just about everything I wanted to stock except for this one small detail, and yet I'm going to flash over because of it.

I'm on stock firmware and Project Fi on Nexus 6 and been having this problem lately yet I have had no updates since the Oct 5 2016 security update on Android v7.0. I wear a fitbit Charge 2 and occasionally use either a bluetooth headset or my car's bluetooth audio. I try real hard to keep my battery charge above 40% at all times. Normally I'm at 70% or higher when these problems occur. [edited to add] Forgot we also have a few Tiles and a LugLoc.
When not using bluetooth at all I frequently find bluetooth has disabled itself on my phone.
When using the bluetooth headset during a phone call bluetooth shuts off and my headset reports it has lost a connection to my phone.
In my car bluetooth is flawless and never shuts down even on long drives 2-4 hours.
I have also enabled trusted devices in Security when certain devices are connected via bluetooth.
Sometimes bluetooth settings loses a device. Sometimes they come back on their own but more often than not I have to repair the device to the phone.
Right now there are so many issues with this phone (including dust in the camera sensor) that makes it real frustrating as an owner.

I just did this about ten minutes ago and rebooted. Bluetooth turned back on after the boot, which is nice. Hopefully it stays on. Thanks for the tip!

I tried this earlier today. Made it through two one hour conference calls with only one hiccup between the bluetooth headphones and the phone which did reconnect. No disabled bluetooth yet. I hope this is the fix!

Thanks
