Since upgrading to marshmallow it seems there apparently is now a dependency on location services for bluetooth connectivity. Does anyone have any details as to why? Is there a workaround?
Simply a horrible dependency if you ask me. They are separate services for a reason and some people don't care to leave their location services on all of the time.
Hopefully this is will be addressed in a future update....
Thanks for any ideas, or information,

Across multiple roms with my at&T nexus, I have issues where the location wont work with the data in google maps, twitter, all location apps. I have fixed the uid mismatches in the recovery, that sometimes might help for a half a day. Can this be a hardware issue? I've never had such issues with my tmobile nexus one using various roms. Its irritating to have to have gps on all the time for these apps to work.
example: in google maps i touch my location, it says waiting for location, then your location is currently unavailable.
ive been using strictly modaco roms lately, perhaps this is the issue?
My WiFi connection has always been reliable and robust before the update to 2.3.6,but now it works wrong,the wifi is scanning repeatedly.When I try to connect my wireless,the connection button is disable.
Anyone else seeing this? Would you give me a suggestion?
Thank you!
I've had the same problem since 2.3.6 was pushed to my Nexus One. There seems to be some people with this and other serious issues, but there doesn't appear to be any acknowledgement of the problems from Google. I have read some posts by people who use their phones for their business and such, and the issues with 2.3.6 are causing them to lose time and money. I don't know why they released this, they obviously didn't test it very well.
Has anyone had issues with your Gmaps not giving you a current location and asking you to turn on your GPS and only then when youre GPS is on does it find your location? I always used battery saver mode(Wifi/mobile data to find location) and Ive never had a problem finding my location when Im out and about. Just lately I started noticing this happening, even with new updates the the Gmaps.
Is this a bug or something that can be easily remedied?
General GPS issues
Yes, I just got my brand new N6 courtesy of Amazon. Overall the GPS works ok, but I've had one incident where the phone location wouldn't lock and today the GPS was consistently one block off...it had me on a parallel road until I exited and reentered Maps. Seriously considering a return.

Started happening right after latest Google Maps update. Had my N6 over a year and only started after the update. So not your phone.

Hello all, I have my nexus 6 on my homes WiFi and from time to time while loading content I'll see that there is no data coming in or out(status bar let's me know), yet I'm still connected to the WiFi and other devices are able to load things at the same time. And then at other times it will disconnect from the network, fiddle with LTE for about 10 seconds and then reconnect, it makes all my apps believe I'm offline until it reconnects like 30 seconds later. Anything you can think of thats messing with me?
Have you posted in the Pure Nexus or Elemental thread to see if anyone is experiencing something similar? You might consider flashing back to stock to see if it's hardware.

Will go ahead and try the other forums and then try stock for a day if they haven't noticed anything, thanks!

Some have luck freezing Google Connectivity Service. Read the reviews here.

Switching to legacy wifi in Developer Opions, Networking helps some.
I get drops from my bluetooth to my watch and then wifi drops. It comes back in a few seconds, but frustrating. I've seen more reports of the N6, but all Nexii seem affected. Search the N6 forum to see the reports, there are plenty, instead of posting the same questions again, it is not a large number of us, but it is constant irritation to those of us who have it.

Are you referring to "Use legacy DHCP client" in Developer options? That's the only option I see that looks like it might be legacy WiFi. I've been having lots of Bluetooth dropouts on both my headset and Android Wear watch.
Also, what would I lose if I freeze Google Connectivity Service?

Yes, legacy DHCP client.
On freezing Google Connectivity Services, all I know is what is in the play store link, or if you Google it, there are plenty of hits on this Bt and Wifi drop issue with Nexus. I see no real changes with freezing it and changing the legacy DHCP. Since BT and Wifi are controlled by kernel modules, I've tried all kinds of kernels, and nothing seems to help much.
I'm running Pure Nexus ROM (July) and ElementalX kernel (August). I've tried stock Nexus ROM and kernel and all kinds of ROM/kernel combos.
From what I see, it is a Nexus problem with some devices.
I turned off Wifi in my Huawei watch and turned off cloud sync in the Android Wear app, and they has helped with watch BT dropouts.
this sucks, im suffering from the same issue, thought this was my router problem,changed it, didnot work , now i know it was google services, any solution? freezing the connectivity services didnt help
Have y'all tried different radios? flashable radios thread

Radios are only for cellular data.
Bluetooth and Wifi are controlled by the kernel modules, so radios have no effect on bluetooth or wifi.

Thanks again! I just turned off cloud sync too, so hopefully these changes will help.
I am having the same issue with Wifi, the only thing that helped was upgrading to Android N beta. That solved my connection problems but since I can't use exposed I went back to 6.0.

If the issue came out along with latest version, then I'd suggest downgrading to last known working version.
What country are you in?
same problem

hey, i have been having the same problem. i thought it was the hardware.
This phone has the most unstable GPS I've used in my entire life of keeping smartphones. It would occasionally have glitches on Nougat but on Oreo the compass just keeps on rotating, not able to determine the correct direction.
Hell a cheaper Galaxy has better GPS functionality compared to the 3T honestly. When it works, it works but when it doesn't it just keeps on switching positions.
The only fix I have been able to find is using the debrick tool to completely refresh my smartphone and then directly updating to Oreo after using the GPS on Marshmallow for a while. Now, it works but still has those occasional hiccups. Still, far better than what I had earlier on Nougat! So maybe try that.
EDIT:
Also fixed the blue dot not moving when I am driving.

Hi, i somehow fix the issue though not permanently. I disable maps app and then enable it again. It seem to work fine now. After the same problem persist i fix the issue by doing the above step.
I don't get it whether there is a problem in one plus 3T hardware or the google maps.

I figured as much, but wanted to confirm; since 5.0.2 is intended for India.

If it's from the latest update, then it's probably the ROM update, not the hardware or Google Maps.
Folks (including myself) had a very similar issue with 5.0.0, but was fixed with 5.0.1. OnePlus somehow broke the aGPS data, in that case; and then fixed it with the subsequent release. So maybe new aGPS data is downloaded when you disable/enable Google Maps (just a guess)?
A member made a (partial) fix at the time (5.0.0), but I have no idea if this will play well with 5.0.2, and it hasn't been updated for some time. Also requires TWRP to flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...pps--mods/aroma-region-based-gps-fix-t3683548
In any case, it wasn't a silver bullet solution. But at least seemed to help for me, at the time. If your workaround is satisfactory, you might just stick with that for now.
You might also try downgrading to 5.0.1, at your own risk and discretion, of course.
