For those on the 4.4.3 soak test for GSM

Can you guys test the bluetooth and tell me if the pairing bug is still present, under certain circumstances? I've been waiting for bluetooth to actually work properly via OTA's but so far nothing's been done.
The issue is:
On most newer bluetooth devices (2012+ car stereos, A2DP headsets/speakers, etc), the bluetooth will pair both the A2DP and HFP/HSP profiles just fine, at the same time, and if for some reason one or the other doesn't pair immediately, then they will link up within a few seconds of each other. However, I've tried to use bluetooth on my Pioneer Premier FH-P800BT, my bluetooth 99% of the time will only pair the HFP/HSP and not A2DP, and then when I try to pair up just the A2DP portion (or it tries to autoconnect) it fails out and my Moto X gets stuck on connecting, and won't ever leave this. I can manually pair the 2 devices EVERY time I turn the radio from off to on, but it's a pain and sometimes, even that doesn't work. Other users have had this issue with other car stereos and other bluetooth hardware, so I'm anxious to know if this is present. I wish I would've bought the Dev edition for Verizon because now I'm having to deal with a problem that I could've fixed, if I had an unlocked bootloader (missed out on the Chinese middleman)

Absolutely no issues here with linking on my Ford SYNC or KIA UVO, OEM systems.

Issues with multiple bluetooth devices?

I use Remote Phone (https://justremotephone.com) for handeling calls at work. Remote Phone uses bluetooth handsfree profile for the purpose of controlling my phone from the laptop.
When my phone is connected to my laptop with Phone audio, Input device and Contact sharing enabled, it can only connect to my BT headset using Input device and Contact sharing.
When my phone is connected to my BT headset or a BT-speaker with handsfree-support (e.g. my car) with Phone audio, Input device and Contact sharing enabled, my smartwatch (Gear S3) looses Phone audio (or disconnects).
When my phone is connected to my smartwatch (Gear S3) with Phone audio, Input device and Contact sharing enabled, it often fails to register and automatically connect to other known devices.
It would seem that the N8 Sirocco can not connect to multiple devices using Phone audio profile.
I have sendt an e-mail to Nokia support addressing this issue, and will post the answer here.
I'm still on Android 8.0.0, and hopefully this is a SW-problem that is corrected in 8.1.
I'm guessing there is not so many N8 Sirocco owners out there yet, but of the few that is out there, has anyone else experienced similar BT handling issues?

This might not be a problem with the N8 Sirocco, but a problem with BT handling on the Gear S3.....

i have a major BT connection issues with my GEAR s3. It doesnt pair at all. the process gets stuck on the galaxy and stars moving around and saying setting up your device. Any help on how to connect my gear s3?

solution?

Hi MrMastodon. Did you solve the topic? As I have similar issue with Nokia 8 and car BT device + GPS BT tethering...

I completely forgot to follow up, it turns out that the Galaxy Gear is known for causing exceptionally bad Bluetooth-performance when paired with non Samsung devices.. I sold it.

Problem with BeatsX bluetooth headphones A2DP since Oreo update

So I got a pair of BeatsX bluetooth headphones at a significant discount and while the battery life sucks, the size factor is worth it. The problem is that since the update to Oreo, they won't play audio unless I turn Bluetooth off and back on, AFTER they're connected.
ISSUE:
Power on
Bluetooth connects
Works for calls but no A2DP audio
Have to switch bluetooth off
Switch bluetooth back on
Bluetooth device list pops-up
Select BeatsX, tap 'done'
BeatsX connect with full functionality
As you can see, this is really annoying for a device that dies so quickly. It wasn't an issue with Nougat, but I haven't been able to find any fixes, let alone info specific to this problem with Oreo. People have had bluetooth issues in general, but this is literally the only issue I've had, and I have several bluetooth headsets that all work fine. Is Apple just screwing with me?
I have an SM-N950UI on 8.0.0 official BB N950U1UEU3CRC1 with build R16NW on an At&t

unpair them if not already done and repair.
you might want to rest factory/full wipe and if all else fails flash full stock if that dosent work since from what i gather you updated( OTA?)

Bluetooth dropouts when using stereo speakers

This is a long shot.
I have a pair of Bluetooth 4.1 Minirig speakers that can be set in stereo mode. However when in stereo mode one channel experiences dropouts. Running in mono mode is fine.
The issue is with the Nokia 7+'s Bluetooth transmission as when using other Bluetooth enabled devices to power the speakers the issue does not occur.
Anyone else had this issue when connecting stereo speakers or headphones and know of a solution?
I have checked: System > Developer Options > Bluetooth Audio Codecs and tried changing these setting but the changes did not "stick" and problem remained.
Maybe there is an alternative setting somewhere that can be tweaked.
Thanks in advance.

I'm also having this issue: whenever I'm connecting my N7+ onto the car's audio system via Bluetooth I have to change the codecs to the correct one every single time to make it properly work (have sound/audio at all). The settings also don't stick or are not being saved. Also looking for a solution for this, unless an update miraculously fixes it.

Same problem here when connected to my car by bluetooth. Occasionally there is a dropout. This does not happen when my friends connect with their phones (oneplus 5, samsung, allview. or my old lg g4).
Changing the bluetooth audio codecs does not work as it does not remain selected and it switches to default. This, as i understood, happens on android 8 and has been resolved in the Pie beta and should be ok in the final Pie release.

When I raised the issue with the superbly talented nokia tech support they either act surprised as if its an unique issue to you or send you a list of compatible bluetooth protocols. Are we expected to change our cars and speakers to make the phone work?

I had this issue after installing garmin connect. Theres a thread over in the garmin forums (forums.garmin.com/forum/into-sports/garmin-connect-mobile-application/garmin-connect-mobile-android/1375800-audio-streaming-issues) about it. Also on the nokia forums (community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000022239/). Seems to affect some phones on 8.1
Anyway, I'm on Pie beta now and the problem has gone away.

Bluetooth issue with Audio-Technica m50xbt Headphones

Hello everyone,
Since I got my new pair of Audio-Technica m50x Bluetooth headphones (Bluetooth 5.0 version), I started having issues with the Bluetooth connection of my OP3T.
The bt connection experiences a turn on/off loop while trying to connect to the headphones. It happens sistematically as soon as the headphones battery drops below 75% approximately. No issues when the headphones are fully charged.
I have tried to connect the headphones to different devices, and they work without problems.
The only way to make the Bluetooth connection work, is to deselect 'Phone audio' in the settings of the paired device. But by doing so, I would need to give up using the headphones for calls.
I have always connected different Bluetooth devices (always 4.2 version) to my OP3T without any issues.
I have tried to wipe cache, reset network settings and even a complete factory reset. But no success.
I have the latest stock OxygenOS.
I believe it is a Bluetooth problem of the OP3T, since I have tested the headphones with different devices and they have always worked fine.
More Oneplus 3t users are sharing the same problem(cannot post links yet), but no solution has been found yet:
Similar topic in the oneplus community forum.
Have somebody already experienced such problem? Or do you know what this problem could be related to?
Thank you for your attention, and my apologies for the long post. :angel:

I have the exact same problem. OnePlus 3T as well.
Am on Android 8.0 OxygenOS 5.0.8.

I have the same exact problem. Always root my OP3T and install TWRP and install latest Magisk (my routine procedures).
Running stock OOS 5.0.8 (Oreo 8.0) and also recently bought Audio Technica M50xBT.
Same problem:
- if "Phone audio" is enabled then Bluetooth gets stuck in ON/OFF loop.
- if "Phone audio" is disabled then Bluetooth works fine (cant use the extra calling related features ) ....
I hope the Androi Pi update coming out (they already have BETA but im not trying it) solves these issues.
Because this Oxygen version fixed my "CAR BT issues" in my B7 VW Passat (2012) - just to find out for new headphones something else is not covered in the "logic in the code" dammit.
@liuk5 I did not notice the batter part you mentioned "It happens systematically as soon as the headphones battery drops below 75% approximately. No issues when the headphones are fully charged. "
I will charge mine to 100% and check it out (but obviously thats not sustainable, plus constantly topping off the ATH-M50xBT battery would decrease the battery lifespan)
