Anybody else having trouble with BT headsets unpairing spontaneously?

I'm using a Rocketfish RF-EX7 with my Verizon Droid 3, and yesterday, I started having problems with the bluetooth headset spontaneously disconnecting from the phone and refusing to re-pair until I turn off BT and turn it back on, and do the same with my headset.
I'm not sure what I did to cause this to start happening, but it's incredibly annoying. Any ideas on what might have caused it and how to fix it?

I don't have any answers for you, but I was having the same problem on Saturday. I had used it without issues for weeks and then boom. It wasn't even consistent with how long it would work either. ~5 minutes a couple times then ~25 minutes before it cut out.
I was hoping it was just a fluke until I read this.

happens to me on my plantronics. I've noticed things just stop working after awhile on the D3 until I reboot it. first GPS, then bluetooth, sometimes even the screen

Touch screen has mind of its own (now with working video)

Hi all I read these forums every night and dont think I have seen anyone that has this issue? (Touchscreen controlling itself)
Sorry about quality I only have 2 hands
I am stock ROM, no root and locked boot loader (I have tried custom ROMs get same issue)
P.S it happens randomly and is fixed for an undetermined amount of time after a reboot

Hmmmmmm it could be a hardware issue, maybe the digitizer wiring is faulty or some contacts on the screen are bad and causing shorting. Ive only ever gotten ghost touches from heat but nothing like what your video shows haha its like its possessed!

Sorry all. I forgot to make the video public. Should work now.
I'm thinking this is a hardware issue. What do you think?
I have turned on developer options and show touch option so when it does it again I will see exactly where its detecting input

Did you get any moisture in it? I was using my Nexus outside and if a snowflake landed on it it would register as a touch. Does tilting it have any effect on the phantom touches?

If it's plugged in, screen is dirty, and potentially if there is a screen protector on, all of those could potentially cause weirdness.
If none of those things, and a factory reset doesn't fix it, warranty it.

Thanks for your replies, I have been from stock to rooted and back effectively factory resetting twice, but I did reset again last night for good measure. I'm a clean freak when it comes to my tablet, use a lint free cloth on the thing regularly. the video was recorded after picking the device up after a period (whole day) of none use. Since turning on the developer options, sods law it hasn't happened again.. I was hoping it would point out for me where the input is detected. When it first happened it was clicking random things in Facebook.. I thought some app had hijacked my device!, its been happening for weeks.. But until now as it only happens a couple of times a day I have rebooted and shrugged my shoulders.. But as you can imagine it is getting rather irritating.. I'll see how I get on and warranty it if neccesary

It has been mentioned here a # of times, descriptive terms varied and there's another youtube video floating here - don't freak out b/c I went thru that myself with the older 16G WiFi model - to the point where I shut down the wireless router, change the IP & LAN address and zipped up the firewall settings tightly just to be sure, and, even turned put the N7 into airplane mode, and checked to make sure that Bluetooth & NFC were not turned ON or left on, etc. (It's like the N7 is running in a Remote Terminal mode when IT used "logmein" to take over our desktop when one of the update patches stalled ...)
Stock Rom was worst for me, 4.1.2 was better vs. 4.2.x but some of the newer custom Rom like "Smooth" were not as crazy as PA, which seemed to be in an endless loop ... I've returned it to local Staples & exchanged it for a (paid upgrade) new 32GB WiFi model - warranty work is definitely indicated (return the device to stock & lock up the bootloader, etc. & do a factory reset to clear everything before boxing it away)
Good luck.

[Q] Mic cuts out but with a twist.

The mic on my son's D4 was cutting out during calls, he could press any button to get it to stop for a second but it would keep doing it. He could hear the caller but they could not hear him. He did numerous factory resets (always being sure not to have stuff backed up to Google) and got a new SIM, tried safe mode. No change, still had trouble. For what it's worth, calls on Skype worked with no trouble so it's not the phone.
I got a new phone so sent him my old D4, it had never done this to me so again, nothing wrong with the phone. He fired it up and it started muting right away. It's not the phone, it's not the SIM...it has to be Google somehow. He's done more numerous factory resets and safe modes and making sure it's not backing up to Google but the new-to-him phone is still muting calls. He says that stuff IS being backed up because it pulls his wallpaper over every time he resets.
Any ideas on what he can try or why it may be happening?

Root safestrap and install cm10.2 on stock romslot? Or fastboot stock image. If neither works its gonna be a h/w issue

It's not rooted and he won't root. It's not a hardware issue, the phone he's using now was mine and never had any issues. It's the same problem on two different phones with different/new SIMs. As I said, Skype works without cutting out.
Something very strange is going on.

I'd say to fastboot or rsd to latest image and try then. Could also be a signal problem also

[Q] How turn is on bluetooth on watch

Reset device or full wipe do not help. Phones not see watch. Please help!!!

Go in parameter to enable ?

Where to look? I can not find.

With the screen on, hold the button in. That will bring up different settings

The first paragraph of brightness. The second device. Item no bluetooth. Paragraph device shows "Bluetooth is currently disabled"

Check if Airplane mode is not activated in parameter.

I have the same problem. All started with the HTC One M7 problems with no audio during calls.
Did Full Wipe on the phone, reinstalled, finally got it working but couldn't connect the watch to Android Wear.
Restored Android Watch and data with Titanium but still nothing.
Finally read that you have to reset the watch. Did that and now I'm stuck on the "Install Android wear on your phone" screen.
I've tried connecting to the watch with different phones without any success..none of the phones sees the watch.
If I push the crown I get the settings page with only the following options:
Adjust Brightness
Bluetooth Devices - which shows: Bluetooth is currently disabled)
Always on Screen
Power off
Restart
Reset device
About
no place to check the airplane mode...nothing.. It's like there should be a "switch" to start the bluetooth somewhere..
any ideas greatly appreciated. For the moment I have a nice black thing on my watch which isn't doing anything..

I have exactly the same problem. If you frequently press device. Bluetooth is activated for 3-5 minutes. Watch are charged watchfase. That's all. Off. :crying:
RMA Return Merchandise Authorization
Not variant. Ebay shop.

Same Problem
I am having the same problem. Right now my LG G Watch R is useless. I wonder if it was on airplane mode before I factory restore it and that is what is causing the problem.

BUMP
Anyone? No ideas whatsoever?
I did try the fridge thing...Worked once so I could pair the phone but didn't even sync.
Tried again with no success.

Well I have an update. I honestly don't know what has changed...but my watch works again. Having the occasional connection lost problem as reported by many in the new 5.0 update in the watch but nothing too serious.
Anyway, reset your watch. Forget the watch in the Android wear app (or delete data and clear cache), but also delete the paired watch from the phones bluetooth menu.( BTW: I deleted all my paired devices in the phones bluetooth menu and then paired the watch first, don't know if this affected or not, if all else fails you can try this also).
Then turn off bluetooth from your phone. Start Android wear app and let it turn on bluetooth. THis way I can pair my phone. Whenever the watch loses connection to the phone and doesn't reconnect toggle bluetooth off and on from the phone and it works again.
Perhaps it's because the watch is already on Lollipop and the phone not yet...

I haven't had any issues and my T-Mo G3 is still on Kit-Kat.
Best practice if pairing gets wonky or whatever, is exactly what you did. Clear / Forget all pairings. Turns everything off. Turn phone on, enable BT, run Android Wear, turn on Watch - wait - follow regular steps and everything should be golden.
If it's still not working, try a reset on the Watch - if it's still won't work, RMA or take it back to the place you bought it from.

I'm on lollipop on both watch and phone and getting constant disconnections
I will say that my rom is a leaked version of lollipop from Samsung on my note 3
But to date since Xmas it's been a joke
To the point that it might be going back if it doesn't get fixed in the next few days
I am going to go back to official kit kat later and see if that helps
I must say before the lollipop update on both watch and phone it worked brilliant not one disconnection when I trialled the watch when it was first delivered.
If it had been like it is now I would have sent it back there and then
I'm just hanging on because I know it did work prior to the updates
So I'm sure it will again

Anyone had their Xz1 compact reboot itself?

I've had it since Saturday and so far its done it 3 times.
Once yesterday just when I was trying to open the phone with the fingerprint sensor and twice now today when trying to do something with the phone connected to Bluetooth.
This morning I was trying to set up the connection to my in car TomTom Toyota 2 unit for the first time. Got part way through the process then it failed then when i tried again the phone rebooted then it worked.
This afternoon I turned on my Bluetooth connected to the car but it wouldn't do anything then the phone froze and rebooted but then it all worked fine.
I'm not giving up yet but its making me a bit nervous having these issues so soon (better now than later i guess). If it happens more this week ill take it back and might see about a different phone.
Just curious if anyone else has had similar?
This Bluetooth device worked fine previously with my Nexus 5X also on Oreo so its fine software compatibility wise.

I haven't, and I use BT in the car everyday.

Thanks. I'll see if it happens again this week and take mine back if so.

No, I haven't had a single reboot in the 6 days that I own the device.

Have you tried performing a factory reset? It might fix your problem. If it persists, then you can send it back for a replacement.

Rebooted again today just in the camera.
Not tried a factory reset yet, will take it into store today and see what they say is best to do. Don't mind doing a reset but then its waiting again to see if it does it again after which isn't something I can easily replicate.
If i can get a new unit id prefer that so i can see if its just my current one with an issue, even with the pain of having to buy a new screen protector.

If the factory reset doesn't work, install the Sony Companion software and run a software repair on it. That may fix the issue. Mine hasn't restarted at all in the 24 hours I've had it, even after using Wifi, Bluetooth, installing lots of apps, using 3G and 4G... However, I installed Newpipe via F-Doid and it crashed at least 4 times on me when I left the video I was watching and came back to it.

No reboots. Two days of heavy use.
I factory reset it soon as I received it and firware update poped up.

No reboot, have had phone for over a week now.
What did the store recommend you do? Here, they always suggest you factory reset first, same with going to the service center, they actually do that first thing when you send in for repairs.
What did you eventually do? Did it solve your problem?

I took it into a store the other day and they had no stock so i'm taking it to a different one today. The store i went to said it would be no problem though as id not had it long. Its been rebooting still a few times just when sitting in my pocket doing nothing, ive had the must enter pin after reboot message.

Well on the way to store speaking to my wife (also with XZ1 compact) her phone froze mid call and rebooted. When she rang back she said she was showing a software update. Checked mine when parked and i had it too.
Sony rep happened to be in store today so told him the issue, he had one himself and hasn't experienced or heard of this but said to do a repair with xperia companion to clean flash the new firmware on both our phones. If still having issues then theres nothing more we could do ourselves and bring back to store to swap.
I have another week in which i can change phone or another 3 weeks to swap for a new XZ1 compact.
Will do repairs tonight and hope the problem goes away.

Repaired friday evening, phone rebooted randomly again after freezing sunday. Taking in today to swap for a new unit.
If any similar problems this week with the new one ill ask to swap to a different phone entirely.

Probably need a software update. Mine is running fine on 47.1.A.2.324

No i updated that on friday before repairing and the repair had that version too and it still rebooted sunday and today.
Me and my wife got a new unit now so will see how these ones go.

got my first reboot today after plugging the headphone... weird...

Not good if others are getting this too, lets hope it was a one off for you.
So far just setup and listened to music on my new phone and all is good but there's no pattern to what causes the reboot so will see how the next few days go.

My XZ1 Compact also has the reboot-issue...
Mine has just done the fourth reboot in just a little more than one week. In different situations, with bluetooth in use and without. Once when I tried to call someone, once when I was searching for wifi networks and the other two times in pretty normal "just using it" situations.
As not everyone is having those issues, I think it is some hardware defect and I need to get the phone replaced, right?

Difficult to tell. A hard reset might help but it could also be a problem with Android 8 on xz1 that wasnt very well optimized..

Id get the handset replaced, 'repairing' didn't do anything for my issue. Only time will tell if my new handset has the same issues and same for you.

Well this morning I got in the car to go to work and went to turn on bluetooth. Tried OK google no response at all, went to manually unlock and it sat on the lock screen my finger prints not working and wouldnt swipe up for PIN entry. Mic and camera toggle reacted to swipes but didnt do anything. Then it rebooted.
Bye bye Xperia XZ1 Compact, the potential was there but rebooting and dodgy camera is too much to hope for a fix for.
