[Q] Lollipop- Bluetooth not working - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just flashed lollipop and everything works perfect except for Bluetooth. Phone simply says there are no other Bluetooth devices in range, and those devices can't see the nexus. I tried rebooting, factory reset, re-flashing stock lollipop using flash-all batch and even Wug toolkit just to cover all my options but still no work around. Anyone else experience this problem or can think of a way to fix it? Anything would help.

Wipe Cache

Hi, one of my friend faced similar issue and wiping the cache from recovery helped solve the issue.
Try wiping cache and reboot.

So I solved the issue. Re-flashed 5.0 to the device, rebooted, and wiped cache. It still didn't pick up bluetooth as of last night but it worked this morning. Also, for any android wear users (or at least moto 360) the phone wouldn't pick up the watch until I did factory reset on the watch and opened android wear on the phone itself in order to accept terms and conditions.

@TheRoice
thanks, has worked for me :good:

[Q] Lollipop 5.0 camera not working?

After updating my Nexus to 5.0, the camera worked fine for a couple of weeks. However, starting from a few days ago, when I open my camera app, it won't function at all; instead, all I get is the screen shown in the screenshot.
I'm afraid that's all I can really explain about this problem, as I can't think of any other relevant details.
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes I get this annoying message when I try to access the camera, it says " Cannot connect to the camera " so what I usually do is reboot my device and then everything works again aha.
Glad it sorted itself out.
Same problem. Rebooted 4 times. Cleared cache. Still no camera
I have the same issue, tried the following
Reboot
Clear camera data
Reboot
Clear device cache
Reboot in safe mode
Reboot
None of that worked.
Tempted to try a new ROM and go from stock 5.0.0... See if that helps
I'm on stock rooted 5.0 and I have gotten this issue multiple times. Multiple reboots fix it temporarily but I can't figure out what actually triggers the issue.
I rarely use the flashlight pulldown, and haven't at all during the last few reboot cycles that this has still happened.

Does this happen with all the music players or did you just notice this with the stock samsung music player? If yes, try out poweramp or google play music and check whether the issue still persists.
This is apparently an issue for 5.1.1 update. I have been experiencing this issue and it is very annoying. I cleared "Music" app cache and data, I went to recovery and cleared cache data, and I even wiped my phone clean and installed a fresh 5.1.1 OS. I thought the last one would fix it, but the issue reappeared a few days ago. I hope someone can find a fix for this soon.
I tried other music players and the problem persists.

Is that PowerAMP also got this problem?
I have tried Power Amp and it's working great so far. I hope it won't crash anymore and I'll purchase the pro version.
I'm on 920f and luckily I don't have this problem (on h3g uk)

Try going to download mode and wipe cache. If it does not work do a full reset.

i already did that many times but it didn't solve the problem
i really need a way to format system and install a fresh one but i think that needs rooting and custom recovery with probability of not solving the problem

You don't need to root the system just to install a fresh OS. I did that, but the bug just kept coming back. If you really want to try a clean install, just download the ROM for your region/carrier and use Odin to flash. It doesn't require root and doesn't trip Knox counter.

Bluetooth broken after stagefright patch?

Since the stagefright patch, I've been unable to connect with all of my BT devices automatically when leaving the BT radio on. This includes my car and my Android wear devices. I always have to cycle the BT radio on and off now. Anyone else have this issue and a potential fix? Tia.
Bump. Also finding that the BT just disconnects after being on for a while. Almost like it went to sleep. Also, trying to connect manually by selecting the device doesn't work as it just gives me a unable to connect message.
I'm at wits end and can only think of trying to hard reset at this point. Any ideas would be appreciated.

did you flash the full stagefirght patch?
if so you can simply flash the patch from VZW that has the 1 vulnerability left..
Flash the attachment.zip in recovery.

If that doesn't work and it is the Stagefright Patch... the latest OTA was 4.17.605.9 (which patched Stagefright - as you already know) coming from 4.17.605.5, if it worked on 4.17.605.5 here is the stagefright.so library from that base... Should fix it for you.
I am uploading 3 files:
1 - with just the stagefright.so library
2 - with all the stagefright libraries - all may be needed and not just the one
3 - bringing you back to where you are now.
Test 1
Test 2
Back2Stock
Flash via Recovery
Thanks. A hard reset fixed it.
Kind of annoying that the last two OTAs I've had to hard reset to get the phone working normally.

I did the full RUU , and had no issues, then I flashed the incremental firmware updates, and after that it was all wonky where I am not able to connect in my car unless i power cycle the BT.. I am going to try a few of the fixes Andy has, then going to RUU the latest firmware and see what happens.
Hopefully it works. Full wipe and redoing everything is always annoying!
I poked Mo on twitter about this but he didn't respond. I figure VZW messed something up along the way.

Actually it did not work I flashed the back2stock then I RUU the firmware here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811415
Did not resolve. I was thinking of running dotdat's RUU, but found a TWRP from when it worked fine and just wiped and used that. I deleted the BT profile for my car, re-paired and then turned the car off, rebooted the device with BT on and after I started my car, the BT connected like a champ!
I would really like to know wtf caused that issue, it was so annoying. I as always appreciate anyone's input and feedback, suggestions, etc on such matters. I will go hit the thanks button even if it did not work as you all take the time to assist and try to understand things.
I will report back if it fails or not
Best Regards

This did not resolve this issue. this reared its ugly head again after once again doing the full all in one firmware upgrade again
Is anyone else having this issue still?
Mine is doing this again too after a full wipe. Not sure what to do at this point.

Rotation and many other thing are not working on android 10

Hi folks,
I've just updated my one plus 6 to android 10 and I already have many problems. The rotation and the automatic brightness are not working anymore. Plus, when you try to put your phone near your ear to listen to an audio message on WhatsApp is not working as well. Am I the only one with these problems?
Thanks
Same here.
Is this a bug or did I something wrong?
mine worked perfectly fine. but i find some issues where when i type on my keyboard it's little bit laggy. that's bother me a lot. so i had to soft reboot it
I get the same issues.. I'd fixed with factory reset, now everything works fine
I wasn't getting notifications of missed calls so factory reset. Then I couldn't access my contacts with the message saying something like, you haven't given all permissions. I downloaded another call app and gave all permissions. It worked fine, so I deleted it and gave all permissions to the OnePlus phone app (including location which I'm sure I never had to give previous). It now works...

Oh my... I don't want to do a factory reset ?
I fixed it by uninstalling Magisk via TWRP (there's now an easy guide to install it in Android 10), rebooting to system, check if the sensors are working again, and then reinstalling Magisk through TWRP again. If this happens again just re-do the procedure, an update will probably fix this.
my sensors went bad when first installing the open beta 30, but with a cache wipe in the recovery, everything should be back to normal again. Well, in my case it was so you should give it a shot as well

I usally don't post comments on this forum but i would like to thank you. I had the same sensor issues since Android 10 and it really grinded my gears..
Just wiped cache from recovery and voila, the auto rotate works like a charm.
Thank you very much my friend and have a great day! :good:

Question Help ! No wifi and bluetooth scanning

Hi friends,
Since yesterday, my wifi and bluetooth don't work anymore. When enabling them, it scans nothing . I've made a factory reser without any psuccess !
Never seen an issue like this on any phone...
Thanks for your help guys
Have you tried restarting the phone? I had 1 time yesteday too, suddenly, the phone was idle, and when I checked Wifi found nothing. Restarted and then it works again. Not sure if related to March update or some other stuffs

Wow...after a factory reset, that's pretty much it!
You can try doing the reset network settings button (you can search it in the search bar in Settings or find it in the Internet setting on top right button [wrench and reset circle]), but I can't imagine it doing better than a factory reset.
The best/last thing that can be suggested, since it states you are rooted in your sig, is to flash the latest Full Factory image (March) and/or with the "-w" intact (since you stated that you did a factory reset so I imagine your phone is wiped anyways) and see if that doesn't fix the issue. The best 3 methods to achieve this is using the online Android Flash Tool, the tool PixelFlasher that can be found here on XDA, or manually using platform-tools (you must've used one of these in the past to be rooted, so I assume you're familiar).
Hopefully you get it figured out. Worst case, the phone is still under manufacturer's warranty and you should be able to get it replaced with a refurbished if it truly isn't resolved...

Mmmm...when you stated you "factory reset", it wasn't clear whether it was from the OS system setting or when flashing...
I don't think there is a "better clean" way to flash and/or reset the phone. If you're not flashing/sideloading OTA (which you aren't)...
It (reset network) was a very long shot, but worth exploring just in case it hadn't been tried yet...
I mean, I guess you can try Android Flash Tool and even go as far as to flash to both slots and relock bootloader to get a pure, stock status and see if the problem truly sticks that way. You've already wiped the phone, so I doubt this could hurt or you lose anything important at this point. But I can't imagine dirty flashing the latest March update (or even including disabling the verity stuff) wouldnt've addressed or reset things to set the issue straight...
If it's still there after relocking the bootloader and flashing to both slots, then it's warranty exchange time (if you ever want to resolve the issue)...
*most likely the flashing somehow wrecked the system board radio enough...
If/When this works, you'll need go through the trouble of unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing the Full Factory image with disabling the verity & validation stuff, before rooting again.
Ok I think it's a hardware problem. When I shake my phone, I hear something moving.
I dropped it from my bed saturday night. The wifi module must be disconnected.
Let's send it to Google....

Are you sure that what you are hearing move when you shake the phone is just the OIS for the camera? All phones with OIS will make some noise when you shake them.

I have had several OnePlus phones and they have all been great for me! However, I am having no problems with my 7 Pro either so....YMMV
