[Q] Bluetooth Connectivity Problems After 5.1 OTA - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on a rooted, unencrypted, unlocked, stock 5.1 N6. I am having bluetooth connectivity issues since the update to 5.1. It is not connecting to my fuelband, headphones, or viper without resetting bluetooth, killing apps or resetting the hardware. Any suggestions?

My N6 is in the same state as yours. It connects to my Corvette just fine. Get a new car! JK.

My ZDX is no bucket

It connects to my Acura just fine. It's the Smartstart Bluetooth module that it has trouble with now. It was working better on my N6 5.0 than on my Samsung S4. Now after the update it just doesn't connect to anything really well.
Maybe I will revert to 5.0 and reflash 5.1 . I don't know if there's a bug somewhere that redoing the process will fix.

Fixed

Wifi problems on my converted HTC One. Wifi will stop connecting to the internet.

I'm having issues with wifi after converting my HTC one to a Google Edition.
I'll connect to my school wifi fine, but every single time, after a certain amount of time it just stops working. I'll still be connected to the wifi network, but I can't connect to the internet.(When I'm at home, I don't have this issue)
My friend also has the HTC One stock, and wifi works fine. My gf has a nexus 4, so it uses stock android with no problems.
What is with my HTC One GE that isn't working?
I've tried a factory reset twice now, and it didn't help at all.
Help is appreciated! This is super annoying and is literally hindering my productivity because I don't have enough data to just use cellular service.
Help please

What happens on stock Sense firmware? If you are S-OFF, flash Dev edition RUU and test.

Yeah. That is a Google Play Edition Issue on 4.4 KitKat and above... you won't be able to fix this issue (except rewriting a part of GPE)
This here helped me in Wi-Fi's like your school wifi:
[root] Pry-Fi
but if you disconnect and reconnect you have to re login because you have a new Mac...

Gah, not what I was hoping for
I was hoping it was a specific issue I had, not an actual android issue.
Why is it only GPE that is affected by this? Explains why my GF's nexus 4 works well.
This is a bummer. I guess I have to revert back to stock.......I get disconnected and reconnected from wifi all the time due to the wifi not being 100% everywhere on campus.
Thanks for the help, at least I know now that I can't do anything about it, time to go back to stock.
Are the revert to stock guides in you're sigs work from a GPE to stock?
i know how you feel

it's not just the GPE, I switched my AT&T HTC One to Developer Edition and have lost wifi since 4.4. I downgraded back to stock and worked my way up the updates with no luck. back to dev edition now 4.4.2 and still no luck

I just went back to stock sense 4.3 and I'm having the same issues still. Before conversion I had no issues.
Why is it still happening?
Could a factory reset work? I assumed when I flashed the ruu it just wiped everything.

Run the full RUU if available.
What do you mean by that? I converted my phone from GPE back to stock using the AT&T ruu.

similar issue
I'm on ViperOne 4.4.2 with similar issues. Only my router is a meter away from me, so the connection is excellent. Wifi on phone keeps disconnecting, but what is interesting, it does so like it's scheduled to do so. For an example - it'll work fine for an hour, more or less, & then it'll start to play games - disconnect, reconnect, scan for networks & show nothing, or try to connect & fail, or even get stuck at 'turning on'. Every problem that I have with my wifi can be temporarily 'fixed' with a reboot, then wifi will work fine for some time & start to disconnect again. HELP?
BTW this started after 4.4.2 update. I've downgraded back to 4.2.2, to 4.3 & now I'm back on 4.4.2, no changes. Did this update **** something up in my phone's hardware or what?

I have a similar problem to what was initially discussed in this thread. Company wifi has multiple routers throughout the building/department - when I first connect to the system everything works great, but after moving to a different room and connecting to a different router (same network/wifi) the internet connection is lost. I stay connected to wifi, with strong signal, but don't have any data connection. In order to get internet back I have to turn the wifi off and back on - everything works fine until I walk into a different room and connect to a different router.
I'm on an HTC One Google Edition - don't remember having this problem before rooting the One from Sense to GE, but I wasn't streaming radio broadcasts of baseball games over the internet until a week ago, which was when this became a real annoyance.

WiFi stops working

I noticed that WiFi stops working on my new G4 pretty often. The WiFi icon is on, and the connection is "up", but the data transmission stops working. I see the top arrow blink (is that transmit?) but the bottom arrow doesn't come up anymore. Trying to do anything fails and times out.
To fix, turning the WiFi off and back on makes it all work again.
Anyone else experience this problem? I know @jonathan3579 reports the same issue.
I am connected to 5 Ghz using an Asus RT-N66 running Merlin firmware. I have no issues with any of my other devices.
Using the "Switch to mobile data" option helps a bit by falling back on LTE when the WiFi stops working.

Same here. Very annoying. Love the form factor of this phone
I have tried the option to switch to mobile data when WiFi unavailable, but still have issues. May just go back to my G2 running Cloudy 3 ROM .

I didn't seem to have this problem at work, so I'll monitor it again today (I just got the phone 2 days ago).

I'm having the same issue at home. I could be watching a video and suddenly stops. I don't know if it has to do something with root. I noticed it starts happening yesterday. I never had this issue and I got this phone sine 5/27 when it was released. I'll do a factory reset.

I'm not rooted and mine has done it ever since I got it (and did a factory reset before setting it up). I doubt resetting yours will fix your problem.

Are you having this issue everywhere you go or just one specific place?
I had not noticed it at work, but I only got on the WiFi yesterday for a little bit. This morning it failed on me, so, that's two for two. Haven't used it in many places.
The hotspot works great though. I tether an iPod Touch in my car automatically whenever I drive and I haven't noticed any issues there.

I'm at work and I have been watching multiples videos and no issue at all.
I just noticed this today happening to me too. =(.
Pretty great phone otherwise! Also connected 5ghz to a RT-AC68U (the T-Mobile cellspot), flashed with an older Merlin firmware.
Had to reboot to get it to behave again.
Me too
I've been having this issue too. I've noticed that I lose data and WiFi calling simultaneously. I thought it was my router because we were having issues with the router dropping phones and laptop, but now with a new router it is only my phone that is having a problem.

Running DNSet has definitely helped with keeping the data flowing, and I appreciate that.
WiFi calling is still dropping. When I look in the settings it says "enabling" and just hangs.
What internet provider do you have I'm assuming Comcast

This issue appears to be due to the 5ghz radio. I am not sure if it is software or hardware, but if you connect to the 2.4ghz band, the issue will go away.
Its most likely a issue with lollipop

Lollipop on the G4 maybe, but I have used a Nexus 6, a Moto X and a Dell Venue 7840, all running Lollipop, without issues. The G4 is the only one that has this issue. I never tested my old G3 on this network with Lollipop, I sold it before the update rolled out.
Problem fixed?

I switched to 2.4 ghz and WiFi calling appears to be staying connected. My provider is Oceanic Time Warner and my router is T-Mobile cell spot.
Fingers crossed and thanks for all the help.
Did these wifi problems start after root?
Mine were happening before root, I think. I switched to T-Mobile cell spot router right before I rooted because my old router was regularly dropping connections, and I have been paying attention more since I rooted. I am also caring for 11 month old twins, so things are kind of a blur. What I am saying is I might not be the most reliable source. I can say that switching from 5ghz to 2.4ghz seems to have solved my WiFi issue.

MMB29K Bluetooth issues

Hi all, Since I upgraded my stock unrooted Verizon N6, my Bluetooth does not pair with any device at all. Does anyone else have this issue? I searched for a similar thread, but could not find one, so my apologies if this is duplicative. Any help is appreciated.

What do you mean by upgraded? OTA update, or did you flash a rom? The only issue I've ever had is Bluetooth disconnecting/ reconnecting. Has become an alarm saying I should reboot, lol. Works fine afterwards.
It was an OTA update. Cannot pair with any Bluetooth device.

I noticed my Plantronics Legend connecting/disconnecting a lot yesterday and a reboot fixed it too. Sounds like that is a good gauge.

So I went to the Google Forums page, wiped cache. Didn't work. Factory reset the device and did not restore previous settings. Treated it as a new phone setup. Problem solved. It appears as though a 3rd party app conflicts with the Bluetooth. I've been kind of picky which apps I reinstalled, so so far, so good.

Where are the full 6.0 system images for XT1095?

I need to convert my xt1095 from Brazil 6.0 to the regular xt1095 release. 6.0 has been around for a week or so, but I can't find the full firmware for it.
It does not exist yet. 6.0 for the xt1095 came out 3 days ago, you just need to have a little patience. The full images usually appear a week or 2 after the release.

Thank you. Just hoping that the XT1095 version won't have the Bluetooth and LTE issues my phone has since updating. However, it looks like it's issues with marshmallow itself across many devices and manufactures.

WiFi displays one bar even when I'm a meter away from it. It sometimes goes 2 bars but not more than that.
The same happens with cellular network. Even though WiFi works perfectly with even a single bar, cellular line cuts off and even drops to no signal sometimes.
Inshort the reception is poor. Andditionally the phone has become a bit laggy. Bugs like absence of equalizer sybc with apps etc also exist

Wifi and Bluetooth work ok like same Lollipop on my phone. No issue found.
about laggy, i can see a liite in some app as Chrome, Dial (Phone), but in general, it's still OK
about Equalizer, you mean Audio Effect ? This move to Google music setting, not appear in Setting-Sound.
My Phone: XT1092, Android Marshmallow EU region

You can just downgrade your phone to 5.1 and upgrade to 6.0 with the OTA file.

No, because the bootloader is the same in 5.1 and 6.0 version. I thought I will brick my device the same way, but I took the leap and it's fine

Did you force update? also which version are you on? CSB3 or CSAA?

I'm on VZ and I did the firmware.science forced update to CSAA and it would loose my bluetooth devices all the time for no reason. So I went back to 8.1 until VZ does there update. Some told me, that he had the same problem and had to factory reset his phone just to get that issue resolved.
Not sure if this helps. I had a somewhat similar issue and read somewhere that doing a "reset network settings" fixes the issue. I tried it and it seemed to clear up the reconnecting problems I was having.
Let me try network reset. I will post update

I've already seen multiple folks state that the CSB3 update has solved lots of Bluetooth issues as well as the compass problem, for what it's worth! There's a CSAA to CSB3 update file out there...
