My saved Bluetooth pairings keep disappearing in the Bluetooth settings since updating to Nougat, I think it's happening upon rebooting. It's annoying to have to keep pairing with my devices, especially the hands free link in the car! T719 on the German 7.0 firmware I believe, since that was the first to be released for the T719. Stock unrooted. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Didn't happen to me but just so we know, after installing the nougat did you do a reset or something, like a clean install.

Ah yes I did, I had to factory reset/wipe data because it wouldn't boot up after a dirty install. So I did start fresh, and everything else seems fine.

Hmm so that's fine then. On top of that you are stock and unrooted
You can try 2 things
-In settings backup & reset- Do network settings reset This will as name suggests clear your wifi/ mobile data/bluetooth settings and passwords etc.
- Check if you have disabled any app which may be the cause or any app which may be causing this.

Thanks for the ideas. No luck so far tho. I reset network settings, then paired with a Bluetooth speaker, rebooted, and sure enough the pairing is gone. I haven't disabled anything at all, for once I'm just running pure untouched stock unrooted lmao. I guess it could be a bug in this particular build? I have a T719. I'll look and see if it could be some app causing it, but I don't have too many apps, and definitely nothing too crazy lol.

You can check with other 719 users. Is this happening with wifi/5g wifi too btw?
Edit- Also found something, go to apps and select google backup transport and clear its cache and data the reboot. Might as well give this try as well
Not sure about wifi, haven't used it at all because my LTE is better than my home wifi. And I don't see that backup transport app here. Anyway, thanks for the ideas. Hopefully some other T719 owners will chime in.... I'm just not sure how many others there are. I do see a second Nougat build has been posted for my device, for United Arab Emirates, so maybe I'll install that one and see.
Same problem
Hi!
I have the same problem on my SM-T719.
Even after the second update just a month ago.
Sended it in to MOBYLIFE and they said that everything is fine and that it's my problem.
Even though I send them video proof of the opposite.
Sad...

Hello all, I have an XT1063 (Global, single sim) running Lollipop (5.0.2). When I first bought it, it came with Kitkat and everything was working perfectly. I was in the insider program so I got to test drive Lollipop earlier than most people, which was nice and didn't really mess anything up the first few builds. The last build, however, changed that. This is the currently available build to everyone, since the beta program is over. Anyway, the problem is that my GPS will not lock on to satellites, making all map/traffic apps completely useless. As if this wasn't enough, the phone often drops my data connection (H+) and when switching from WiFi to celular data, it can take upwards of 5 minutes to get a data signal.
Could this be a problem with the modem fimwares? What are my options? I've thought about going back to stock, even reset everything from the settings menu once (didn't revert to stock kitkat, just factory settings on Lollipop.) If I absolutely have to go back to stock kitkat, how would I do it?
Any and all help would be much appreciated!

Lollipop has a lot of issues... I have ****ty GPS lock too, but maybe that's because of my region.
I can agree with you on the frequent network drops though... Sadly, i have no solution for that, except to re-save the apn until you get the data working.
However, for the WiFi - cellular data switching, switch on "Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular Handover" in Developer Options.... It kinda solves my problem. (Still takes a minute for my data to work)

There are a couple of them in the development section... But I suggest before you downgrade, why not backup your data and factory reset in lollipop itself? See if your problems continue or not... You'll be wiping data anyways when you are downgrading.

I did perform a factory reset earlier today, but the problems persisted, so I've now downgraded to 4.4.4 and will be on the lookout for these issues for a few days before updating again.

That's cool. And you won't find any issues either... KitKat is rock solid stable.
Lollipop buggy. kitkat stable.
I have upgraded to L using Walter's method. Everything is pretty much good except that I can no longer get a GPS fix in any app I use. I can see plenty of satellites (upwards of 21), but will not get a fix...seemingly ever (I let it try on a 2 hour drive). To clarify, GPS worked quite well on 4.x.
I've tried a few workarounds such as:
GPS settings to get assist data
secret code to rebuild nvm or something like that
turning on and off high accuracy
performed the hardware hack mentioned in the general forum
I haven't tried a factory reset yet, and I'd like to avoid it if possible. Just curious as I've seen this problem detailed for several devices and networks, but no real solutions.
Thanks in advance.

The rooted from post 2. Everything else seems to be good.
Make sure you have oc1 modem. I play ingress and have no GPS issues
There were 2 many reasons why it is very slow to get GPS lock but one problem that I know 100% causes the GPS to lock slowly and not at all because of the aluminium back case that I was using on my galaxy note 3. I tested the GPS status toolbox with back case aluminium and sometimes the GPS lock took long time to fix and sometimes it did not lock at all! But supprisingly, when I remove the back case cover, I don't have that problem anymore. So, check if you have the back case aluminium. Something is interfering with the GPS signal. Now my note 3 is naked without back case but I'm happy this solved the issue. As I said this is one of the problem that caused the GPS lock issue. Perhaps there are more...
Tried everything including factory reset, still no luck
I tried almost everything as OP and did a Factroy reset. Still have the same issue, GPS cant get lock in. It works flawlessly before, start to having this issue after updating to lollipop, dont remember if it happened just after or not.
Is any other possible method to fix this?
Thanks,

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.

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.
Has anyone been able to figure out how to go about fixing the internet lag that Marshmallow brought? Any app that uses internet seems to lag for a long time before actually beginning to load, including web pages, play store downloads, etc. I haven't been able to figure out yet how to correct that.

no internet lag here at all, on marshmallow. actually, any lag that youre having would most likely be because of your provider, and not because of marshmallow. is your apn correct?
same here. .no internet lag..
I experience the same lag, especially on the two apps he mentions. Strange because I don't see that on any of my PC's, laptops or internet TV's so I don't think it's a provider issue. I have checked my APN's and they are correctly set. It's not horrible with the browser, a five second delay before loading but sometimes the play store has to be stopped and restarted (or turn off wifi) to connect.

Same issue then! And Simms, I believe my apn is correct, it does this for me on WiFi too and same as said here in this quoted post, I don't experience this issue on any of my other devices in the house, just my Nexus!

odd then. maybe its because of your "set up"? if you have twrp recovery, would you make a backup then try a factory reset. see if it happens from the beginning or not. you can restore your back up after.
same issue and im bone stock, If I have some time i will be trying a few different ROMs over the few days until I find "the one" so I will report back my findings. I'm on tmo and have the issue whether im on wifi, lte, H+, or H.

I have tried this and even in 100% stock. Unlocked bootloader still and same lag. Kind of seems like only Marshmallow brought this, possible in the radio file it comes with. I'm stumped about why. I'm running newest cataclysm with multirom and cm 13 on secondary. Using newest elite kernel. Multirom TWRP is my recovery. Also, it is safe to install Lollipop radio and use with Marshamllow? Can you mix radios like that? I may try that next if possible!
I don't know if this is an issue with me or chrome app. I'm on tmobile and sometimes it lags on wifi as well. Haven't tried a different browser.

Now I wonder if this is only affecting people on T-Mobile, as I am also on T-Mobile. Could it be the WiFi calling feature? I have this on because the service at my house is awful! Could be the culpit!

The wifi calling is not on in Chroma and it does not seem to have any of the issues I was experiencing on stock so (by deductive reasoning) I am blaming the wifi calling... but why?

Search Google for marshmallow data stalls. It's a very weird bug, turning your screen on and off is the only thing that helps.
I Flashed a cm13 rom and it is gone for me now. Maybe try that and see if it works for you? You could always nandroid anyways if it didn't fix it.

I have CM13 installed as a secondary rom using multirom, but haven't used it enough to really test that! I'll look into that! And so it's a known bug then, seems like some have this issue and some don't, which I find weird!

i just purchased a nexus 6 and installed marsh. i am also on TMOUS and i get slow loads on browsers and social media apps. Instagram and Facebook as well as with both Chrome and Dolphin when accesssing any webpage. ive been toggling with the APN and surprisingly turning the screen off then on shows minimal success. Page loading reminds me of when i had Nextel running 2G service; its that slow or times out.
However i do not get this on Wifi.
I had an issue similar myself. Speed via speed test were crazy slow too, even when in LTE. My fix was very simple though. I flash the factory image from Google and booted first time. Then factory data reset and flashed radio before booting, suddenly all was working again. However my issue wasn't app related but rather system wide, also WiFi was just fine. I've read somewhere that certain providers limit speeds when phone looks like it is a PC to prevent people from tethering. APNS would normally solve this issue.
If I recall correctly it was from "Sprint" and all providers using their bands.

I've been using OxygenOS 8.0.1 since it came out and I'm getting sick of the Bluetooth, dual sim, notification, and battery issues. I'm looking to switch to a stable ROM. My priorities are stability, good battery life, dual sim operation, and reduced Bluetooth issues.
My thinking was LineageOS due to my previous positive experience with CM or Nitrogen. Also Any good suggestions out there for Android 8.1?
First of all there is no stock 8.0.1 rom.
It's 5.0.1 based on Android 8.0
Secondly, me and many more users have no issues at all. So, there is no generic problem with stability with this rom. Did you perform a factory reset after you have upgraded to Oreo?
If not, then probably this is your main problem.
Unleashed by my rooted OP3T on 8.0
Oxygen OS is a very stable ROM.
One thing I have noticed that Nougat version 4.5.1 was the best considering fingerprint performance and battery back up.
Oreo 5.0.1 does not has fast fingerprint authentication as compared to it OOS 4.5.1
Sometimes I think I should switch to 4.5.1 for the best performance with best battery back up.

Adding to the above, there is no "perfect" or the most "stable" ROM. It all depends on your usage. All of the ROMS are thoroughly tested, and not built on unstable Device Sources like Samsung Devices. They're all stable, with no issues unless you use Xposed.
Also, I'm currently on OOS OB26 8.0, the most recent OB. Not having any issues. Maybe the problem is on your end?

I haven't had any of those issues, either. What kind of Bluetooth problems are you having? There was a known issue with this device not being compatible with BT on car stereo systems for certain makes (BWM, Volkswagon, and I think a few others), and not sure if those were fixed on OOS 5.0.1 or not. But aside from those particular car brands (not one I own) I've found BT to work really well on a variety of Bluetooth devices (earbuds/headsets, speakers, a number of car systems including rental cars).
Battery life is most dependent on network reception and individual usage patters. Don't expect that to change drastically from flashing a new ROM. Maybe some incremental improvement with a certain ROM and kernel tweaking. But again, nothing drastic.

Thanks for all of the thoughts everyone. Let me describe the issues a little more.
1 - You are correct I am running OOS 5.0.1 with Magisk 16.4, stock kernal
2 - Bluetooth, when i connect to my BT home speaker (a BEDDI) and I play anything on TuneIn radio, the audio cuts out after 5-10 sec. I've found a workaround by pressing the play button on the radio itself but unfortunately some times this launches my previous app using audio which is never TuneIn. This was never a problem prior to Android 8
3 - Notifications and battery are linked I think. I don't receive notifications on a number different apps as I think they being put to sleep in the background. Slack is particularly problematic. I do have "advanced battery optimization" turned on but I have selected to "not optimize" the apps that I want notifications from. Notifications still do not show up.
3A - To partially mitigate this I tried turning off advanced optimization but the battery life tanks as a result
4 - Last summer I used the dual SIM functionality flawlessly while abroad (pre- android 8). In Jan I tried it again with OOS 5.0.1 and it made my entire phone sluggish, data didn't work great, there were lots of FCs etc.
I did not do a factory reset when I upgraded to OOS 8.0.1 which some people indicated could be the cause of the issues. I don't have a problem doing a factory reset but could you suggest a way to restore all of my apps and their settings after the reset since I don't want to have to spend hours setting up my phone again.

Since you already have Magisk, try Titanium Backup Pro. It costs only a few $ on the Play Store, and it's definitely worth it. Or if you don't mind a slower restore and backup of app data, try the free version.

Any issue with other music apps? Any other Bluetooth devices that you can test this on? Might be a problem with the app not being updated for Android 8 (pretty common). Or just a glitch with the particular BT device (also common).

Restoring all app settings after a factory reset can easily recreate the same problem.
Definitely wouldn't recommend that.

I'm familiar with titanium backup. I guess a question I have is exactly what setting would you use to backup specifically apps, their data, and system settings so that I get the positive benefits of the factory reset without backing up and restoring those " problems"

Any issue with other music apps? Any other Bluetooth devices that you can test this on? Might be a problem with the app not being updated for Android 8 (pretty common). Or just a glitch with the particular BT device (also common).

No the problem only seems to be TuneIn (which is a pretty common) with my Bluetooth speaker. Play music, pocket casts, and chrome seem to fine with the same speaker, BT headphones, and my BT car adapter.

Sorry if this double posts...
This only seems to happen with Tunein and by BT speaker. It does not seem to happen with play music, pocket casts, or chrome with the same speaker, my BT headphones, or BT car adapter.

If it is a common problem with TuneIn, then I would tend to think it's the app developer's problem (possibly not properly updating for Android 8). Although it is a bit odd that it only has this bug on a certain device (the speaker). So a lot of layers of complexity here. But it seems more a problem with the app and the device (speaker). Trying another ROM may indeed be a way of eliminating the OS as the cause (or at least narrowing it down).

Thanks for the thoughts. Do you have any good methods of restoring data/settings post factory reset that won't restore the "dirty flash"?

I backup and restore my app data using Titanium Backup, like another user suggested. I've been using it as long as I've been flashing ROMs on Android devices, and it works wonderfully.

Are there any particular settings you like for Titanium Backup that minimize "restoring a dirty flash" ?

Your terminology is a little confusing. A "dirty flash" means you are migrating all user data. You do so by not wiping data, and flashing a ROM. If you are doing a factory reset, you are by definition wiping all user data; which is the entire point of a "factory reset".
By restoring app data after a factory reset, you might be re-introducing data that is causing the bugs (if that is in fact the cause).
One suggestion would be to backup your app data with Titanium. Wipe user data, cache and Dalvik (factory reset). Then test the ROM with the phone "clean" and only install the apps you need to test (TuneIn for the Bluetooth glitch, Slack for the notification problems). After testing for those bugs for a while, then restore app data as needed using Titanium. If the problems only arise after restoring app data with Titanium, you may need to start over (wipe again) and be selective about what data you restore.
The best case scenario, is that the bugs are improved after the factor reset and stay that way after restoring app data with TB.
Another possibility is that the bugs occur even with a "clean" setup (only install the apps which exhibit the problem). In which case, the problem is likely the app itself, or the ROM (as you initially suspected), or a combination of the two. In which case, you are back to trying a new ROM.
But basically, you need to do some testing to figure out what the culprit is, or at least narrow the possibilities.

Thanks for walking through your reasoning. It reinforced what I already suspected. Now I just have to experiment with it.
