i've seen this being discussed a few times but with no resolve.I bought 4 oneplus one phones altogether.The first two were for me and my daughter bought a week apart.
These have worked flawlesly and both have been rooted both connect to the bluetooth in the car with no problems.
I then ordered one for the wife and the brother (family thing going here) they both arrived at the same time and both failed to pick up any signal...
I updated them through wifi then the phone aquired a signal with no problems.But here is the problem, both of that phones will not connect to the cars bluetooth..
everything on all the phones match up from the android version to the baseband so i can't get my head around why there is a problem.?
i hear that its a problem with cm ! but why are some working and others not?
are there any roms that are not cm11 based that i can flash and see if it is the software that's causing the fault or should i wait to see if there are any updates to fix this common problem?
It's the brother's phone thats the problem,he was a long time apple user and i convinced him to change to the opo now thats jumped up and kicked me in the butt...
if this is the wrong place to post this question i do appologise,not used to posting on forums.!
thank you
bluetooth problems
well here is an update if anybody is interested.I installed multirom and mahdi rom,bluetooth connects no problem now
I'm having the exact same issue. I had a Chinese OnePlus that connected easy-breezy to both my BMW and Acura cars. I got a new OnePlus just last week which has not been able to connect/pair at all with either car. The phone can not find any BT devices.
This is back breaking here in the anti-cell phone+driving Northeast.
When they do connect, as mine does, can it send/receive text msg's and emails via the car. Mine works for phone calls and music but no msg's. 2014 Toyota Corolla
same here, just got my OPO not quite a wek ago.
64gig-version, rooted, stock FW, latest OTA.
my BT headset connects just fine, just tried it in the car today, but the phone just does not find the alpine CD-headunit (connected fine with my GNEX or N4 before).
im actually thinking about trying ParanoidAndroid-ROM wich i liked very much on my N4.
any leads?
OK then, I just flashed paranoidAndroid .. Ta-Daa: connects to in-car BT Unit.
ParanoidAndroid by the way doesnt come with the OPO-Lockscreen, but the double-tap to wake up. just enough for me.
cheers!
Anybody else experiencing a weak bluetooth connection with the S6? I'm losing the connection with my Garmin Vivosmart in places I've had no problem connecting with other devices. I'm curious about other's experiences on this as a search hasn't turned up much yet.
I have noticed this as well. I could walk pretty far away from my S4 before it would drop. With this S6, I only get a few feet away before audio gives out. Doesn't disconnect, just loses audio.
Also, random loss of audio from time to time, even when the phone is right next to my head.
Yeah I've noticed the same thing with my S6. At work I don't always keep my phone on me and with my M8 I could walk around the whole building without my G Watch disconnecting and with my S6 I can only get a few feet away before the connection drops.
Yes happening with my moto 360 it is annoying and hopefully will be fixed soon
Haven't had any disconnect issues, but for some reason connecting to my car stereo has been a nightmare. It takes like 5 tries before it actually connects.

I'm having issues with my car bluetooth too. It works fine initially, but every couple of days I have to delete my phone and re-pair it for it to connect again.

Same here, takes me 3 or 4 times to try to bluetooth sync with ford sync system. Yesterday it would sync then play for 30 seconds and pause play back. I don't know if its the phone or lollipop as alot of the problems I see are also happening on my nexus 9.
I'm getting sent a new one since I've been having these problems

I had Bluetooth issues on an old phone, and when I flashed different roms the issues were fixed. This leads me to believe that it's software related

Identical experience. With my S4 and my Nexus 9 I was able to literally get to the edge of my large yard before losing connection with my Vivosmart. Now I can't leave the room since getting my S6. I hope it's software and we can somehow change it, because it's ridiculously bad. I also have had to turn my BT off and back on three times this week because it would crash and refuse to talk to either my Vivosmart or my car. As soon as I toggle the BT on the phone it reconnects to everything. Seems to be triggered by starting my car (i.e. the BT car interface becomes available.) Never had either problem with the S4.

Since so many people are having this problem, it's probably phone related and not just an isolated incident.

Yeah this is one of my only remaining complaints about the device. I can't use my Vivosmart for sleep tracking anymore...it disconnects/reconnects way too many times and the persistent vibes wake me up.
So honest question...let's assume it is fixable by software tweaks. What's the fix in that scenario? Reroute more power to bluetooth radio? Other?

Well I've seen a lot of threads online for other devices where an Android update affected bluetooth range. Obviously there's some sort of software control for this. I'm rooted, and I'm willing to try some things but I don't know where to begin. I'm not an OS / Kernel guy.
i wonder if its what it is connecting to as well as a problem with S6? i have the Motorola Buds headset and it has worked as expected giving me about 100 foot range when talking on it. i also have a 2013 Ram truck with Uconnect and have not had any issues and it connects right away and reads my text etc.. as it was doing with my Note 3 and ATIV.
i havent tried other devices but have a few like a speaker and will see as i use them if i have issues.
Haven't messed with Bluetooth that much on this phone, but I think wifi is a bit weak

I've had Bluetooth issues. Seems really short range.
Wifi is about the same as my LG G2, but BT is about half as far. I used to be able to get around 15m at work (lots of shelving) but now I'm lucky to get 5m before hearing static and starting to cut out. Sucks because BT is my main source of music at work.
Anybody had better luck after applying the new ota?
so I've got a 2014 Mustang with Ford sync, and i try to pair this morning and the s7 won't see sync at all. if i choose to have sync look for a device, it finds the s7 but then says to say the pin but the s7 won't show any pin at all.
anyone else having Bluetooth car issues?

Rns510 column's unit pairs fine but rsap handover never takes place so phone connects up but car doesn't get mobile signal. Will probably require firmware fix as feature works fine for other galaxy phones

yeah, my note 4 paired fine. this makes me mad because my buddy has an s6 and he said out of the blue the car wouldn't connect to it anymore but connected to other phones fine... then he saw many people had the same issue with the s6 Bluetooth sucking. so i hope the s7 doesn't have that issue!

I have a a 2014 Mustang gt but I replaced the factory radio with a Kenwood ddx9702s unit and kept the Ford sync capability and every syncs fine
you know, i got it working on my way home. idk how it worked, but in the morning hte phone just couldn't find it..but at 5pm it could. guess the phone was still asleep lol
I had the same issue. I had to go into the MEDIA settings under the Bluetooth settings and do both a Factory Reset and Master Reset and it fixed my issue.
2014 focus.
No problem connecting to my 11 GT
so weird. well I'm glad it works now! silly sync.. lol

2010 F150. Initially the S7 and SYNC paired just fine on initial setup. However now when I start the truck the BT paired icon is lit on the dash but SYNC will claim there are no BT devices connected. My solution has been to turn BT off on the S7, wait 10 seconds, turn it back on, and ask the S7 to pair with SYNC.
I bought an S6 Edge not that long ago which I was planning to use as my daily driver with my Ford 2015 Escape (Ford Sync 2 version). At first I suffered the not connecting or connecting but no BT signal on the Sync, or connected but randomly disconnecting...
The other night I wiped the system cache in recovery on the S6 Edge, made the Sync system forget my phone, paired it, made the sync system forget it again, and paired a second time. Everything has been working perfectly since then but it has only been a few days...
Possibly give that a shot?
luckily mine has since paired. it was just being a jerk that day I guess! it's been pairing fine everyday I get in it. weird.

Try to make sure you have the newest version of SYNC, Ford now offers the latest firmwares online. Download it to an SD card and just plug it in update will be done automatically, SYNC has had a lot of problems connecting.

Yep, if you log into the My Ford online account it should tell you. Mines claims to have the latest update which originally frustrated me until I tried the wipe cache trick.
I have the same problem but in my Volvo, the BT disconnects from the car during calls for no reason and then tries to reconnect again. Never happened with any of my other devices, including S6 Edge... really hope Samsung comes up with a solution, this is very annoying.
S7 and 2010 Fusion
Just got a Samsung S7 and tried to pair it with MySync. Sync said no phone available, S7 said no device found. Checked compatibility list on MyFord and the S7 wasn't listed. So now what? Anyone have ideas?
I noticed that the S7 was not on Ford's website as a compatible device; however, I was successful in getting my S7 connected...for about a month. As of yesterday, I cannot get it to connect or recognize the device. I am still searching for answers too.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S7 and tried to sync it with my 2013 Ford CMAX. My previous phone was a Galaxy S4 (yes, I know I have needed to upgrade for a while) and it synced easily. I could not link the S7. One thing I noted was that my dash display listed SAMSUNG-SM-G925V and my telephone is SM-G930V.
Mine had synced just fine with a 15 Ford but randomly stopped working correctly. The phone was connected, but I could not play media through it. I disconnected the bluetooth and reconnected and its working again.
I have a 2010 Ford Explorer that will not connect with my Samsung S7 Edge. BT on sync says no BT devices. I have tried multiple times. Nothing. Can anyone assist me?
I recently got a J7 Samsung phone. I have no problems Syncing to my 2014 Ford Fusion. I can stream Spotify with no issues. I can make phone calls via the system voice command with no issues. The problem that I am having is that my Bluetooth connection will always be lost in the middle of a phone call and I have to pick up my phone......
Not sure if this is just my phone but bluetooth has not been working the last update of 7.1.2 and Android O the most recent version. When I toggle bluetooth it does not activate and i have tried clearing out the cache. Not sure if this is a software issue or possible related to hardware. I did have a good drop with my phone although nothing on the exterior appears damaged. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
Just RMAing the phone. It appears that it is only my phone doing it. Actually Google's customer service is really good. I'm glad I bought from them.
I had a Galaxy S4 from Samsung in 2013 and the battery ended up swelling and I called them for a replacement which they would not replace, but would thoughtfully sell me a new battery. Then they lost $5.3 billion from their Note 7 recall due to the battery and I was very happy and laughed.
Was this just the phone audio in your car by chance? I have a similar issue and have an open case with google about it.

No it's definitely the phone. I have my Nexus 5x right now on 8.0 and it's working fine. Nothing wrong with the software.
I use Android auto as well and it's working fine. There's something wrong with the hardware component in the phone most likely. I have a 2017 Honda Civic
Did an RMA and sending it out.

sorry - let me clarify my question. Was bluetooth media working and just not phone calls over bluetooth? I have a 2017 honda civic as well (LX version so a dumb head unit) and only having bluetooth phone call issues. I can play spotify and other stuff like youtube just fine.

No. Bluetooth would not activate at all so nothing worked. When i toggled the switch it would not turn on and scan for bluetooth. It appears that my situation was much significant as nothing worked. My replacement should be here tommorow. For your stock rooted set up did you just boot into TWRP then flash the latest SU ? Lately I've been running stock, so I don't know what the most recent form to root is for 8.0
Last time I rooted was like April or May of this year, but I just booted the TWRP image, flash TWRP, then flash SU
I've been stock rooted for some time but for the 8.0 update I rooted with SuperSU SRS3 via TWRP. Google had me actually grab a bug report and shoot it over to them along with information about the bluetooth radio manufacture of the car. I am cool with continuing to help them out. anyway, thanks for your feedback and i hope the new one works!
Got my new pixel replacement. It was the phone, I'm on the latest 7.1.2 update and it's working fine. The refurb looks brand new, you can tell it's a refurb by the charging port, but the rest of the phone is virtually new. No scratches on the glass or scuffs on the metal body. Compared to the current pixel I have with multiple long scratches along the front glass screen, even though it's a refurb its still in much better condition than my current Pixel.
I noticed my night light is super orange the screen is compared to my current Pixel. I think this is an issue related to earlier batches of the Pixel. It's just very orange with the night light but given the condition my current pixel is in, I'll still take it over my current one.
Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your help. I've searched and searched on this site and all over the internet to no avail. If you can help me, I'd be most appreciative!
First off, I have basic knowledge of this stuff with the help of tutorials, but am not even close to being fluent in it. That said, I had my gear s2 paired with my old Note 4 a few years ago. Last year, I bought a Pixel on Black Friday and found a way to root the watch and put Android Wear on it so that it would work with the Pixel. It worked fine for over a year. Recently, it was giving me problems, every few seconds crashing saying Google Services were not working. I factory reset the watch and it is now fresh with Android Wear on it. However, it will not find my phone and vice versa to connect them.
I told it to "forget" my phone and repair, even uninstalled Android Wear on my phone and reinstalled it, and nothing. The BT function of both my phone and watch work fine, as they are able to find other BT devices near them, just not each other.
Anybody have any ideas? It's driving me crazy. Thanks!

How did you manage to get Android Wear on this watch? Are we talking about the regular gear S2 or the classic?
