o a new device ..new issues.
I have the Verizon S3, but I am not sure if this is Verizon specific or not. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima (LX, forgive me..family man) and I have the stock head unit. It has been great with EVERY phone I have had (Razr, Nexus, Bionic, Rezound, X, Thunderbolt) for streaming sound via bluetooth. I got mine Friday and just got to mess with it because my wife went into labor simultaneously
Anyway, it pops and cracks every 3 seconds to the point I thought it was going to bust my tweeters. It doesn't seem to do it during a call, only media. It doesn't matter the file type or anything. Also if I use the AUX cable it has terrible terrible feedback. I can hear it in headphones too. It's the sound like a wire is grounding out somewhere...if you've ever dealt with audio cabling before.
Is anyone else having this very issue, or did I get a dud? Also, does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it? I tried equalizers and adjusting the volume. I also tried a JayBird stereo bluetooth headset. I tried the ol restart -- no factory reset yet though. If you have any clue, please let me know. I just don't want to waste time getting replacements if we are all experiencing it. Thanks!
(also this happens in the browser, youtube, media player, etc.)
PLEASE post who your carrier is and what you have tried to connect to. Maybe it's an isolated problem...who knows!
Hi XDA
I have a bit of a problem with my Smartwatch. I have tried every single 'fix' out there (self proclaimed techie, I usually google my problems first. making a post is a last resort). I got the watch since Christmas, and I've been working on it since
Heres my problem
I use a Feiteng N9300+ (S3 clone) and my smartwatch would pair to it, but disconnect every time I turn on the watch to check the time then reconnect around 5-10 seconds later. Apps wont work, they used to (with sheer luck, approx. 4% of the time) but after I formatted my phone apps don't show up at all.
I tried the watch with my Viewsonic G Tablet and it works, so I've narrowed it down to a faulty bluetooth chip within my phone, or a software related problem. Its probably the software
Any fixes? (I've tried Bluetooth keep alive and around 10 other apps, and around 20 'fixes' )
Thanks in advance
I have a Verizon Note edge and I am having issues with my Bluetooth connection. It’s the same issue I had with my Note 3. When I purchased my Note 3 I purchased some JayBird Bluetooth headphones. If I was sitting still and not moving, they worked great. I could actually leave my phone on the table and walk about 40ft from it and still had no issues. However, if I tried to use my headphones while moving (ie walking, at the gym, riding my bike), the audio would skip horribly. Just about every 2 seconds. So then I bought my Note edge and it was happening with this phone too. I thought it MUST be the headphones. I purchased a new JayBird Bluetooth headphones, new model too and the issue continued. I just returned the Jaybirds and exchanged them for some Beats Wireless2 headphones…. The issue remains. If I’m sitting still they work great. As soon as I put the phone in my pocket and go for a walk the issue starts. While walking I took the phone out of my pocket and put it up to my head about 3 inches away and they work just fine. If I put the phone back in my pocket so that it starts to skip again and then cover my ear and headphone with my hand (cupping it) the audio shuts off completely. This leads me to believe there is something weak about the Bluetooth in the phone. This was an issue with my Note 3 and now my Note Edge on 2 different brands of wireless headphones. What can I do to correct this?
I did some Google'ing and saw many samsung users are having this same issue and the ONLY solution is to leave the screen on? and FYI, this happens with my music on my phone, music on my SD card and Pandora so I know the $100 SanDisk 64GB card I have in the phone is not the issue. I have cleared the cache and data for the 2 bluetooth files in the Applications Manager, I have wiped the cache partition of the phone and I am running stock Android never rooted.
Has anyone experienced issues with Bluetooth devices? I have 2 devices (that are somewhat obscure) that I'm having problems with. First, what does work:
1) Beats Wireless Headphones
2) Bluetooth in my car
3) Unify Roverbeats (For bluetooth via A/V receiver that doesn't have it built-in.
4) Fitbit Surge (Had a little trouble getting it paired initially, but it's been fine since.)
The two items I'm having the trouble with are:
1) Omron 7 Series Wrist (BP654) Blood pressure cuff.
2) Vicks SmartTemp Bluetooth thermometer.
I have gotten both to pair, though it seems to be hit and miss. Once I need to actually use them, though, I'm having little to no success in getting the phone to see them. Unfortunately, I have to take both my BP and Temp every 3 hours (due to recently diagnosed, extremely rare immune system disorder.) This would be a deal-break for me, with the Blu Pure XL, it I didn't have 2 other android tablets I can use. However, I'd sure like to have these working on the phone! (BTW, they all worked seamlessly on my LG G4.)
Has anyone else experienced bluetooth issues with the Pure XL?
More Bluetooth problems....
The Bluetooth problems I mentioned earlier have only worsened. My car sometimes will, sometimes won't connect. The surge connects 90% of the time. Everything else is touch and go, with my BP Cuff only connecting once (during the pairing sequence.) Also, when selecting "un-pair" on any device already paired almost never un-pairs it. I usually have to reboot, then try again to actually get it to un-pair.
Aside from the Bluetooth issues, I've not really encountered anything else that is a show-stopper. I'd like to have Android pay, but it's not a necessity. I want root more (which disables Android pay anyway.)

I've only paired a Metawatch so far but no issues. I keep forgetting to sync it to my car. I'd say the connection with the XL is better than with my M9, which dropped/reconnected randomly.
So far it seems to work fine with my car but when I use it with moto x sol deck it starts breaking up after 15-20 minutes. The only way to fix it is to turn on and off bluetooth.
Pure XL bluetooth serious problem
I have a Pure XL also, originally i only had problems occasionally with playing media through my LG Tone+ headphones. then i also tried connecting my Fitbit Charge HR it would shut down the bluetooth and lock the bluetooth off. i tried uninstalling the fitbit app and only running the headphones and the bluetooth ended up locking up. when i go to the bluetooth settings it shows it as constantly turning off and turning on. i cant stop it. tried rebooting. and also tried turning off and leaving off for awhile and still when i turn it back on it is still locked up.
Issues with jawbone up3, screwed up bad
Also having issues maintaining a sync without a reboot. In my wild attempts to fix this issue I ended up uninstalling Bluetooth Share.... Would any of you fine gentlemen be kind enough to post a copy of the apk from /system/bluetooth for me?
edit: found it github*com/acheron1502/android_vendor_BLU_BLU_PURE_XL/tree/master/proprietary/system/app/Bluetooth
thanks to acheron1502!
I only use Bluetooth for me FM transmitter in my car.... I never seem to have any problems at all as far as connection and playing music/sounds.... But the hands-free doesn't seem to work.... I can hear them but they can't really hear me very well.... I just put it off to the mic on the FM transmitter....
Just got my blu pure xl today and Bluetooth sucks, its not much better than my blu vivo air. Signal cuts off only being like 5 feet from the phone using my brand new jbl reflect mini Bluetooth earbuds. Hooked to my 4 year old kindle fire hd left on my second floor I was still getting reception in my basement. I'm so pissed I thought that this specked out phone would have good Bluetooth reception but nope ****ty. Blu/gionee needs to start putting way better Bluetooth transmitters in there phones.
I've got to reboot my phone several times a day to keep synced with my runtastic orbit. definitely the phone, had no issues with my LG. Its a nuisance, not a major issue.
Bluetooth woes followed by total meltdown!
After all of my initial issues with Bluetooth on my pure XL, I put a Samsung 200 GB MicroSD card in. It worked for a while, but I think I somehow damaged the card moving it in and out of the phone. Finally, I left the phone charging with card inserted. After an hour or two I came back to get it and it was fire hot...so hot that the plastic back cover had started to melt right below the memory card slot. After it cooled down I removed the SD card. The went on to work half the time, but eventually completely died. I contacted BLU and they sent me an RMA, so I sent the phone to them. I figured they would come back and say the phone was not covered anymore because I had the TWRP recovery and root installed. However, after they received the phone, I got an email with tracking number on the return to me. They ended up sending a completely new phone (off the shelf with all the goodies included.)
Since the new one has been back, and I got the march update, I haven't had any Bluetooth issues save 1: it won't connect to my Denon AVR receiver's Bluetooth mode. Everything else that I listed at the start of the thread is all working correctly now. Every once in a while I have to do a reboot to reset it, but it's way better than it had been!
BLUETOOTH CLICKING NOISE (handsfree)
Is anyone having issues with when using their BLU Pure XL in the car when using handsfree? I have an issue when about 1 minute into the phone call, the person I am talking to hears a loud click every 2 seconds and will not stop until I turn off the bluetooth or put on speaker. If i switch back to bluetooth, same thing happens. The longest I've gone on a call is probably 4 minutes before it started to happen. If i hang up and call the person back on bluetooth, same thing happens.
Anyone has a solution with this as its so bad that I am considering buying a new phone because of this issue!
Thanks
Hey guys I have searched around here but cannot find the answer. I have now tried 3 different methods of pairing my nexus 5 and it refuses to work properly with the phone audio. It HAS worked in the past. When you look at the pairing you can click the wheel on my phone settings and you cannot tick the box that says "phone audio". I have had the same experience with my car bluetooth, an older plantronics 520 earpiece and now a brand new Motorola Roadster 2. I have gone as far as to factory restore my N5 to no avail. I even went back to an older factory image (M4B30X) and it doesn't make a difference. I am currently on M4B30Z. What else could it be? I don't want to use this as a reason to buy a newer phone but holy crap this is frustrating. If anyone has any feedback I would love to hear.
Thanks,
