Having some trouble with my bluetooth not connecting to my car. I have a Fiat Abarth and at first my N5 was working fine until I updated to 4.4.1. And now it is broken. I can search for devices and it will show my car but after entering the 4 digit code it will not connect and my phone will stick in pairing and not come out of it. anyone know what is going on?
Update to 4.4.2 and see if you have the same problem.

Tried those both. I might have to flash a stock image and see if that fixes it.
Exit: I just walked outside to try it again and it was still acting up, but I persisted and even though it was acting finicky I got it to work... For now

I think you answered your own issue when you said 'Fiat' that'll be your problem not the phone

No the car is fine. It worked before the update and on the other two phones I had.

The Abarth is actually a pretty sweet ride.

Hey guys, are you having any issues with NFC?? Sorry if this is a repost...searched for NFC, but nothing came up. I tried placing my gf's N4 next to my N5, but nothing happened..no prompt to beam. Would love to know how you guys solved this issue, or have any idea what the problem is.
Thanks everyone!

I know it's going to sound pretty inane, but when you try to use NFC do you have your screen on? From what I know, the NFC chip is only on when the screen is on for your device.

Hi, and thank you for your response! Yes both screens are on... Tried to beam a YouTube video from my gf N4 to the N5...

Stupid question but do you have NFC turned on?

Thanks for the response... Is there a certain way you hold it... Like alignment wise? I tried a dozen times... Must be a hardware issue...

Is NFC turned on in the n4? NFC has been better for me with my n5 over my n4. Places that my n4c wouldn't work at, my n5 works like a charm. I've also used NFC to transfer pics from my n5 to my wife's n4 without issue. I just held the n4 centered to the back of my n5.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks for the response! Yeah NFC is enabled on both devices... I also tried using NFC testing apps to see if it recognizes it... It says NFC is there and enabled, but can't be sure how accurate that is.

i dont really know if that is an issue but my friend has galaxy s4 and we he tried to transfor a pic to my n5 with nfc it didnt work but when we tried to transfor something else like web page it worked
Yeah not sure what's going on...

I have the same thing. Trying to transfer a photo from Nexus 5 to S3 Mini
Nexus 5 makes a noise and says touch to beam so I do and then it says no connection
If I do it with a web page its no problem
I'm trying to transfer the photo using File Expert HD, maybe thats the problem
Using File Expert HD to NFC transfer between S3 Mini and My Nexus 7 tablet works fine
Mine isn't working at all! Won't even say touch to beam. I put it to the back of a nexus 7.2 and a Gnote 3 and nothing! Won't even recognize anything. There's got to be something causing this problem because my NFC was working before. I used it several times to transfer photos and now all of a sudden I get nothing??

I had a problem with NFC too. It wasn't working with SGS3 and Nexus 7... So I opened a back cover and raised those 4 pins just a little bit, put everything together and boom - now it works! Obviously a bad contact issue.

How did you raised up the four pines? I have the same problem.

Hey how did you guys do it? I'm having the same issue after replacing my screen. Do I raise the four pins on the nfc board on the motherboard? And how did you scrape the contacts on the back cover SoTacMatt?
I'm not gonna try anything before I hear from you guys. I just paid $50 for the screen and seriously don't wanna go paying $25 for the nfc.
Edit: Nevermind fixed it :laugh: apparently everyone is jumping the gun in this thread. This was the fix for me.
Hi all,
I got my phone 5 days ago and since then, it looses signal about 6 times a day in places where there is full signal.
I used to own Galaxy S2 and never had this issue before.
I'm using the same carrier and living in the same place so the only thing that has changed is the phone.
I was wondering if it's a known issue, if there's a fix or should I RMA this?
Thanks!
Happened to me until the updates. Are you on 4.4 still?
Team Nexus 5 sucks
Nope, as soon as I got the phone it was on 4.4.1 and then upgraded to 4.4.2
Same thing is happening to me, and from what I've Google'd, heaps of others as well.
Hoping 4.4.3 (or whatever they will call the next one) will fix these issues. I switched to a new carrier, to get the Nexus 5 (I could've stayed with my old carrier and got it, but I was unhappy with them). There is so many issues with the Nexus 5 and my new carrier, its not even funny.
I hate it when my phone LOSES the signal.
It still happens to me once or twice a day. Turning on airplane mode for a few seconds fixes my signal.
Team Nexus 5 sucks
Happens to mine constantly. Pos.

Have you checked your APN's in the phone at all?

With what can I compare it to? The way I was able to recreate this is when switching to 2G from 4G or 3G

Compare your APNS to your network standard APNS. Simply Google that and you should be able to find it. I would Google it for you but I don't know your network.

I'm running cm11 whenever I plug in my Slimport I lose service. Unplug it, comes right back.
It's really weird. I haven't tried on stock or any other ROM.
Just curious if anyone else had this problem?

This is seriously driving me crazy. As soon as I plug this Slimport in I lose all connection. Is no one else having this issue?

I have the same problem! I just got a slimport adapter, thinking I could use a bluetooth touch keyboard and I'd have myself a desktop. As soon as I connect it the mobile service drops (2g and 3g). Bluetooth still works, but I lose signal with or without the bluetooth radio on. I get the same problem whether or not I have a micro-usb power plugged into the slimport adapter. I don't have wifi at home so I don't know if that is dropped too.
Without data its useless. I can't find any solutions to the problem, just a few mentions here and there that the problem exists.
Nexus 5. Paranoid Android (most current stable release).
Using a stock rom, my slimport works without affecting data. Perhaps something it up with your rom.

A friend of mine told me he downloaded a app called megaphone and used his phone (not a nexus 5) as a Bluetooth mic for his ps3. Well I downloaded the app and couldn't get it to work. Has anyone ever tried or done this?

That would be a pretty damn cool feature.
Have a nexus 5 Sony watch wouldn't stay connected...after a phone call to tech support sony does not support anything above 4.3...why BC no sony phones are above 4.3 at the moment....
She said there is an update coming out but didn't know when or even if it would fix the problems....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I'm using it with my S3 running omnirom, which is at 4.4.2 so it's not that. There is an update coming but I doubt it would help you in itself. Mine disconnects from time to time, I've found the quickest way to reconnect is to turn Bluetooth off on the watch and back on again, it generally pairs straight away. Hopefully that will be fixed in the new version.

This is just what she said. Mine wouldn't reconnect.... To annoying

I'm running a Nexus 5 and had my SW 2 since December, never had issues with connection, aside from once with a botched custom Kernel. If you're not running stock, try running that, other than that I suggest faulty hardware on the watch's part

My SW2 and Nexus 5 work great together, no connection issues. I've had this combo for 2-3 months now.
Same setup here. Nexus 5 and Android 4.4.2, everything is working great. Have you tried resetting the watch to stock?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Tried 2 different watched.. Bluetooth works fine.. Use Bluetooth headphones to work out with and those never get disconnected.
Reset the watch multiple times.. Would work and then lose connection even though the app still shows connected.. The apps would not communicate with my phone
She did say they were getting a lot of complaints about my issue as well.

^Same here... Sony SW2 with Nexus 5 (4.4.2) and haven't had any issues with bluetooth connectivity. As others mentioned, resetting the watch or unpair and re-pairing would be the first things I would try.
Best of luck... let us know how it goes.
Done that. I should say that I got a pebble and have 0 issues.. Don't know why it was not working,, tried 2 different ones from 2 different stores.. Bc of that sony refused to even send me another.. They pretty much forced me to return it

Try again? Some Sony phones were updated to 4.4.2 today.
