[Q] Bluetooth disconnection issues with Galaxy S Relay - Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G

Hello, I am starting a new thread because I have a question that doesn't seem to have been answered despite the suggested threads, which I have perused hoping to find a solution. I would NOT start a new thread if I had noticed someone on XDA solve this problem.
My question is, what happens when you try to connect your Bluetooth to:
A) Do a transfer
B) Tether
or C) enjoy your music
and it disconnects? For some reason, it does this after "Searching..." (when I don't tell it to-does so by itself and turns off after) Although I am zeroing in on 2 files (bt_config.xml and bt_config.old), I believe they could be the problem as they are supposed to open (right?) and will not, and show signs of corruption. I never mess with my "/" directory, ever. I just used ES File Explorer to make the directory writable for a brief period (but not to those files), but now I discovered this issue. I am running CyanogenMod 10.2.0 (was running cm 10.2.1 when this started) now with at least 3 devices that have paired:
My laptop running Windows 7*
A desktop running Linux*
Sony MW-600 headset (no issues here)
*But these pairings have switched between one another in the SAME spot, as if they are one pairing. I will admit I am using the same Bluetooth adapter on both desktop and laptop, but I'd like help on solving this catastrophe without a factory reset (gone thru 4 of them since August 7th, 2013.) which is not an option I'm willing to explore. I'm sure any of the good minds on XDA can pinpoint the issue with all of these details. Just to be sure, I have already:
-Unpaired and repaired devices
-cleared Bluetooth Share's data (org.codeaurora.bluetooth does not have any data to clear, BTW)
-Uninstalled/re-installed Bluetooth drivers on my laptop PC running Windows 7 Pro build 7601 x64.
Anything I missed?

Try do do any transfer with wifi off.

turn bluetooth off and delete /data/misc/bluetooth and /data/misc/bluedroid and reboot

I've already deleted /data/misc/bluedroid but I'll try to delete the other directory as well. I did delete the former directory through terminal. Thank you, I'll give it a shot.

Unfortunately the same issue occurs even after deleting both directories. It keeps saying "searching..." And then turns off, after about forty-five seconds. Any other tips would be nice, and I'd be glad to submit any files if you name them.

This Bluetooth issue is unnerving. Despite following your advice, Nardholio, and rebooting, I still have issues. WiFi never crossed paths with my Bluetooth once, by the way.
I just want to keep my hotspot invisible to my clients via Bluetooth when I don't want them connected. I do not want to change my password(needless) or hide my SSID (unproductive).
I trust them, but when I don't want them to see or automatically connect, Bluetooth is helpful. Please someone needs to give me a sign in the right direction.

I seriously need an answer and do not like to be ignored. I need help with my ailing Bluetooth. I have followed all advice given on this forum so far. And now I can access my BT_config.XML file. But the /data/misc/Bluetooth directory is empty. And I flipped the hidden file switch. Still nothing. If there are any files you need to better understand this issue, please ask for them. Do not simply ignore me. I know what I speak of. I'm far from foolish. I am open to any advice that could jump start my Bluetooth except factory reset. I have tried this already. No dice.

WOW. MIss, we all want help on this forum, but when no one has an answer, sometimes you get no reply. And if you demand an answer, it makes readers even less likely to offer help.
Re-read what you posted and ask yourself if YOU would help a stranger who said that....

Well, maybe I wouldn't. Okay I was frustrated that day and eventually solved my problem by doing s soft and hard reset. FYI I am a guy.

Is your issue the same as mine, where activating the bluetooth connection on the SGH-T699 will cause the wifi connection to start cycling in and out? This seems to be a samsung issue on multiple devices.

[Q] Killed by Android due to low resources Bluetooth

I have attached screenshot of a error message which pops up whenever bluetooth operation of particular kind is initiated. I don't recall if this issue being present while on GB (earlier 2 versions) but is now present after upgrading to ICS OTA. This was also present before root while being on OTA ICS & now is present post root as well.
When I pair with my Moto S9 or any BT headset this error does not pop up but whenever I try to transfer files or photo (even a single pic or file) via BT to/fro my Dell Win 7 laptop it does. While one pic transfers thru successfully, the single file transfer fails. Also conversely I have successfully established BT tethering when required while having this issue. There are no multi apps & processes running in background for Android to have a reason to display this error.
Also on the laptop "the driver for Bluetooth Peripheral Device is not installed" error is omnipresent for MB865 despite auto troubleshooting as well as removing device and reinstalling (this is a common issue as seen on the web for Win 7 OS) but with no definitive answers.
Any help inputs guys, is appreciated.

Is there no body who faces this issue?? Please any help is appreciated.
Have you tried clearing Bluetooth Share data and rebooting to see if the problem is still persistent?

@ Apex - As simple as this sounds "clearing Bluetooth Share data" what is meant by this and how do I do this? Reboot, generally? yes I have.
@ Axis - Thanks but I am not keen to do a factory reset cause I got a lot of stuff which would then need to be redownloaded and reinstalled from play (I have yet to get around to the stage of Nandroid backups)
@rowver - Responses as you can see which were present before you posted & yet to be resolved (however I will see once again tomorrow if this issue yet persists & don't miss the "on the computer the driver for Bluetooth Peripheral Device is not installed" error is omnipresent for MB865 despite auto troubleshooting as well as removing device and reinstalling (this is a common issue as seen on the web for Win 7 OS) but with no definitive answers.) I use Moto S9 & some freebie bluetooth headset with no issues. Watch this space.

[Q] Message Access Protocol - HandsFreeLink

I have a 2013 Honda Accord which has an infotainment system that supports MAP. My phone asks if it wants to give it access, I said yes to all double checked in the settings that all are checked but it still doesn't do anything when someone texts me. It is supposed to Auto Read them and I made sure that setting is on on my car as well. This system should be the same as some Acuras as well.
Some additional info: When I choose select account it says this phone doesn't support this feature.
Same problem here with an aftermarket BT deck.
Has anyone got MAP to work with anything?
Works fine with 2012 BMW
MAP is flawless on my 2012 BMW iDrive system.

Did you do anything special? Or does it just work after connecting it to Bluetooth. I fear this is a Honda issue but that doesn't make much sense since it does support some Android phones that probably had MAP before and the iPhone.
I received a similar prompt asking about the car accessing my calls and another about messages. Accepted both and it just works.
MAP was added to CM 10.2 awhile ago, and it worked the same on my LG Optimus G (basically a Nexus 4).

Doesn't seem to work on my e90 my10 Idrive. It used to work with sense ROM but not with cm 10.2 on my HTC one x
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Anyone have any luck getting this to work? I get an envelope icon on my iMid screen, but an error message stating "the connected phone does not support this feature" when it attempt to read out the message. I have a 2014 Accord EX-L.
I'm in the same boat as OP. I've got a 2013 Honda Civic Si and a Nexus 5, and they don't work well together.
From my research on this, I believe this to be a flaw within the Hangouts app, and not a communication problem between the phone and the head unit. After playing around with it for a while (deleting the pairing profiles, repairing the two devices, clearing the system in my car, etc.), I noticed a few things that lead me to this conclusion. After a few connection attempts, the car only successfully read me one message. Afterwards, the text message functionality on my i-MID was selectable, but clicking the enter button wouldn't do anything. Checking my phone, Hangouts was also frozen. The phone was telling me (via ringtone and notification popups) that I was receiving texts, but I couldn't read them until I disabled BT and force closed Hangouts.
Is this a common problem that we are all experiencing? Can any of you confirm or deny these ideas? Also, which messaging app is everyone using (I don't want recommendations, I want to know if this is Hangouts' fault or not)?
Got a 2014 accord same problem. My fix was stopping hangout.. Works fine now I have a nexus 4 running 4.4.4
I think the Honda only uses Sms only and hangout tries to convert it

So did you end up having to use a different SMS app, then? If so, which one worked for you?
I used the stock Sms app that came with the phone. My problem was I saw the text come thru on my accord , but was unable to hear or see the message.... Same problem with my old texts also. I do not use hangout so disabling was not a problem

Ah, well, that's a bit different that the problem I've currently found myself in. For me, the text messaging functionality is permanently disabled in my i-mid display. I'll give getting rid of hangouts a try, though!

I can confirm that my car's Nav system is able to notify me and then read SMS messages from my hangounts app on my N5 without any issues (Toyota). I can also send SMS messags from the car (thru' N5). Works fine, everytime. So, I don't think it is a hangouts issue.

I'm struggling with my Toyota... I have the Non jbl system with Nav. When I click on Bluetooth settings it doesn't give me MAP as an option to check (even tho I granted access to view messages) but I unpaired and repaired a few times and it did give me the map option and it still wouldn't receive my msgs

The message access option should have been there every single time (unlike what you described). I'd suggest deleting the pairing from the phone and the car, and to try again. If the problem persists, try to pair it to another car (Toyota or not) and see if it works with that. If it does, that means it is an issue with your car's system. If it doesn't (and the other car can pair to other phone's with message access properly), it may be an issue with your phone.

Went and messed with my dad's avalon and it worked no problems with his on the first attempt (MAP was there and it asked and was granted access). Going to try to repair one more time with my car before I take it to Toyota.

Kinda glad to hear that it is working ok with another car - but at the same time, I'm not sure how helpful the dealership will be (assuming the problem d1oesn't get resolved by re-pairing) - automotive firmware is basically written in stone - very hard to get them to fix it. They usually keep blaming the phone. Good luck.

I assume you told them that it works with the Avalon - and they stuck with "it is your phone"... UGH! Funny how it works fine with one car, and not with another (even though both cars are made by same manufacturer). Yes, it must be using a different BT stack/hardware/software, but why not use the same one across the board? sheeeeeeeesh

[Q] Hands free bluetooth issues?

Hi everyone.
First off, let me say I did search for my issue, but really could not find anything that was relevant to all of my issues. And, if this is in the wrong place, please let me know!
Now- I installed a bluetooth radio in my truck 2 weeks ago. I was running a rooted SCH-i535 on 4.2. Did not have anything other than root access, due to me dropping my phone and getting it replaced.(Only problem was cracked screen, worked flawlessly). Now, I was able to connect my radio and phone with bluetooth, and worked fine. I had a pin code on my phone, and was still able to hold down my phone button on my radio, and give voice commands no problem. Now, I get my replacement phone this past weekend from geek squad. I go in, give them my old phone, and tell them im going to browse the store, ill be back for the other phone. I come back to get it, and its up and running. I get in my truck, get the phone and radio to sync, set my phone down, and try to make a call....I can not use voice commands. I hold the button on the radio, and it tells me service is not available. Tried just using a swipe unlock. same thing. Now, I forgot to mention, geek squad went ahead and performed the OTA 4.3 update while setting up my phone. I can use the phone and it will use the bluetooth for the calls if I select it from a phone book, and I can receive calls too. Its just that the voice control will not work...its almost if s-voice is not seeing that I am making a command or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I loved having a truly hands free set up in my truck. Thank you for any help!
Have the same problem. I'm on rooted unlocked vzw 4.3 but I had this problem on 4.1.2 as well. Bluetooth calls connect but media not coming through (it's connected in BT settings). Occasionally the media will come through as well. I tried clearing cache just for BT through TiBu and emediately restarting phone which mostly worked on 4.1.2 but not on 4.3. I also tried a full factory reset and a clean re-install of the rom (I always clean install). Problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Strange Bluetooth issue

Since I got my phone on release day and I haven't been able to use it to make calls in my 2012 mazdaspeed3. My other phones have worked fine so I thought I needed a software update on my radio. Well everything is up to date and that didn't fix it.
The problem is when I make or receive a phone call the Bluetooth will connect and disconnect every 5-10 seconds. This makes it impossible to talk on the phone.
So I have tried stock roms, sense based roms, and all the CM based roms and they all did the same thing. Yesterday I was trying to figure it out so I sat in my car in the garage and the phone was in a constant connect disconnect loop. During this time I was disabling apps and services hoping to stop it when all of a sudden I turned off WiFi and it stopped. I then called my wife and had a 10 min conversation with no problems. So I now run a tasker profile that when Bluetooth connects it turns off WiFi so I can make calls. The problem is I have a nexus 7 dash mounted and I use the WiFi hotspot to run apps.
So after all that, does this sound like a hardware issue or a software issue? Should I return my phone for an exchange? Thanks for the help

So far, no. It took me like 20 minutes to get the phone to pair but once that was done it hasn't disconnected at all. I have music constantly streaming through Bluetooth to the car and I've taken a couple calls with no issue.

Have you tried clearing data and cache in settings?
the Red Viper ROM
I am having the same issue.
It is connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, and it is SUPER annoying because it essentially renders my pebble watch useless.
For a while i was using the Automatic Link (car link) and was getting 'bluetooth share has stopped' errors, but found that when I stopped using the Automatic app it helped a little bit (stopped giving me the 'share has stopped' error), but it still connects and disconnects repeatedly.
The weirdest thing about this is that when I first got this phone I wasn't having this problem, everything was working fine for the first month or so, but it seems to keep getting worse.
I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, etc. and have not had any luck, but I don't want to do a complete wipe of all my data and lose my text messages, etc. unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, since there are images and things in there that I continually refer to for work, and I have not found that titanium backup restores them very reliably.
Has anybody had any luck with this issue? Could it be a defective device? It seems to me like it should be a software problem because it is not something I was having problems with from the start...
I am very frustrated with this, even more so because I love this phone so much. I have never had a phone that I liked as much as this one, usually the first thing I do is install an AOSP rom, but I even like Sense 6 in some ways. With Nova Launcher's 'OK Google' hotword support this phone is a dream come true... if only the bluetooth worked.

I have never had a phone that I liked as much as this one, usually the first thing I do is install an AOSP rom, but I even like Sense 6 in some ways. With Nova Launcher's 'OK Google' hotword support this phone is a dream come true... if only the bluetooth worked.

you need to let HTC backup app take care of backing up your texts etc...what if you dropped the phone in the toilet tonight or got pushed into a pool?
this app is free...will backup your stuff daily or on demand and will restore email accounts/texts/desktop/apps/blinkfeed settings etc.

install that, backup to the cloud (uses Google drive) and then continue troubleshooting without fear of losing stuff.

Mic is going quiet during calls - receiver notices volume drop.

Hi there everyone,
I've regularly been getting reports that during a call, the other party notices the mic volume on my PQ drops - sounds like I'm far away from the phone.
More info: also does it when using bluetooth headphones, tried different sets

Might want to mention what you're running. I have the same problem in CM11, and it's always been like that. Wonder if it's CM specific. I don't have problems if I hold the phone flat to my face, but I don't like putting something that's had hands all over onto my face.
Running Pac Rom KK RC3 at the moment.

Please edit /system/build.prop to change 'ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype' from 'fluence' to 'none' and then reboot.
Let me know if it helped.
This change will disable the qcom fluence noise cancellation algorithm (unless 'persist.audio.fluence.voicecall' is set to true as well, but it shouldn't be - you can check the audio properties by 'su', then 'getprop | grep audio' command run from adb shell or terminal emulator on phone).

Thanks for this - I have had a look using terminal, and sdk.audio is set to fluence. Now I just need some guidance on changing this to 'none'. Can I do this through the phone, or do I need to plug in my puter?

I use Root Explorer ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer ) to make direct on-device edits of system files like /system/build.prop when I want to quickly test something without engaging the use of my PC...

Hey thanks - once I turned on ES File Explorer's root options etc I was able to edit. Rebooting now, & will see if I get anymore complaints.

I'd welcome feedback on this property change (ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none) as I'm considering to make it default in CM (if there will be agreement on it between the few moto_msm8960 maintainers).
It really seems to help the voice clarity heard by the remote party on the other end of the phone call in my case, both using my Photon Q and also Razr HD.
Motorola stock sets it to 'none' as well, and I seem to see (hear) the reason for it now...
I've been using it for a little bit - can't confirm precisely yet, I'll have to test a bit longer. Some calls are still having issues I think.
I'm also thinking about going down a few notches with ROM's - just getting a lot of lagging & stoppages with PAC rom KK RC3

I can confirm that it hasn't fixed the issue - I am still getting complaints that I sound like I'm far away, or it sounds like my phone is in my pocket to the other party.
It is intermittent however.

I updated the build on this phone, and have had a lot of complaints from very quiet Bluetooth. I changed the 'fluence' to 'none' again & will see what happens.
Any other ideas on bluetooth mic settings? Sometimes it is the phone mic also.

This has reached the point where I can call one person (or they call me) 5-6 times, and they can't hear me - using BT or handset mic, but I can call someone else in between & they hear me fine.
Almost like it is a network/service provider compatibility issue - used to be that iPhone's had trouble hearing me, but my wife's iPhone doesn't so that idea was scrapped (yes she has one, but she also has a great ass).
Now running ICS on second handset, and no problems yet. I'll try ICS on first handset in a couple of weeks & see if that fixes the issue.
Its either going to be hardware or software/rom- possibly something to do with managing the call to BT.
The fact that it happens intermittantly on BT or handset mic, even after reboot makes me think software.

Does this sound similar to your issue?

I wonder if you are encountering the same 'bug', in which case flashing stock would resolve your problem. Obviously his issue is with notifications, but I wonder if his workaround resolves it for you.

It sounds kinda like what I had going on- rocking the volume did seem to help the BT volume/calls sometimes for me also.
Its like the phone doesn't know how to manage the audio/mic.

My other handset running ICS works fine - however there are some annoyances with ICS - stops charging while in car dock etc.
So I've just loaded Carbon onto the original handset (both actually) that was having volume issues, and I will test & report I the volume/mic/BT issues have gone.
Sent from my PHOTON Q using XDA Free mobile app
Carbon is working well, I did have a complaint that the mic was muting again during a call just once - seemed to happen when I changed my grip in the phone - this may have shifted the slider very slightly, so I've swapped out the whole screen/ribbon assy to see if it makes any kind of difference - don't know why it would, possibly a faulty track causing a disturbance.
Have yet to test BT.
Sent from my PHOTON Q using XDA Free mobile app
BT & mic are failing in the same way with Carbon. I've tested long enough & tried a number of variables (headsets etc).
I have tried it on 2 handsets, with full wipe/clean installs.
I'm convinced it is a software issue and is affecting different roms, so at some stage this bug has slipped into the builds unnoticed.

Carbon / PAC / lots of ROM's are heavily based on CM, so if it's affecting CM it usually affects a lot of other ROM's as well.
FIXED!
By going back to JB stock, stripping out unwanted apk's & bloat (sprint etc), and adding some features with xposed framework.
Don't miss any of the fancy vagina stuff either.
