I was hoping that CM13.0 would solve my Bluetooth problem but did not.
Although most of the time is working with a factory Bluetooth system (in a MB car) every now and then it disconnects.
Disconnection usually happens when there is an incoming call - before I press the accept call button, phone disconnects and reconnects a second or so latter.
I had this problem with CM12.1 and I was hoping CM13 would fix it - only in CM12.0 it was working fine.
Rare times it disconnects while idle – or it happens often and it goes unnoticed.
Is there any solution I missed?
Things like complete factory reset / clearing cash etc are done with no change in the results.
Car has no update (it’s an Alpine NTG2.5 system).

Sadly, this is a wide problem with a lot of Android phones.
One of the fixes Ive read around is to not give so many permissions when pairing a Android device. Example I read: Someone's device would never connect if they shared contacts with their car. You can share contacts and have the hands free not working or not share any contacts and have handsfree working. Its a trade off.
So far CM13 seems little better.
What I can't figure out is the pattern, if there is one. Why sometime it works and sometimes is not. When I initiate the call from the phone or the car keypad, 99% it will work without a problem.
When I receive a call, its a hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The only reason the phone is not landed out of the window is the fact that reconnection is quick, so I get to answer the call from BT no matter what. But is frustrating.
I remember my first phone with this car was a (non smartphone) nokia. In that case from BT I could hear the selected phone ringtone and the phone did not ring at all.
With any smartphone from then on, both the phone rings (with its own ringtone) and the BT rings with a generic tone. Oh well ...
BTW I had zero problem with BT when I first bought OPO - but then it had CM12.0 I think.

I just got a One S last week, and everything worked great with my 2009 A3 until yesterday, when bluetooth started getting disconnected by itself literally every minute. After it cuts off it immediately reconnects, which would have been fine but the A3 makes a "ding" sound every time the phone is connected. I have tried to unpair and pair again and again, and to no avail.
Despite this issue, the connection is actually fine when in a call. It's only when it's idle. Also my Nexus S working fine with the car, and the phone works fine with my BT speakers....
Does anyone else have this problem? I'm going to call my local dealership and ask if they have any sort of update for the A3 since the One S is BT 4.0....
[SOLUTION/WORK AROUND]
Just unpair the phone, then when you pair it again, do not allow the car to access your contacts, and make sure to choose the "do not ask again" option. This is the only consistent solution I've seen so far.
Try to update software... Maybe there is the fix. Settings about phone system update

I have the same issue with my One S, it will connect and disconnect from my Cadillac SRX, my Galaxy S2 had no issues. What is up with this phone.
Yeah tell me about it....my Lamborghini Aventador is doing the same thing

That's weird, my 2012 A3 doesn't have this issue. Do you have the nav system or the base console?

i had the same problem with my arc s and my '11 rs5 last year.the audi guy couldn't find any problem at the multimedia console. he offered me to change the whole console but the problem was still there. same problem on my girlfriends tts...don't know what audi was doing back there.
now on my new facelift rs5 bluetooth works like a charm
Maybe if you didn't have such a badass car your phone wouldn't hyperventilate and drop your bt con every 60 seconds.
I had this issue with SEAT Altea. It was in fact due to contacts syncronization.
To know if it is the case: unpair your phone and pair it again without accepting to share your contacts. then if the connexion is stable you will know that it's linked to sync.
I solved the issue by deactivating some phonebooks sources. I had 140 google contacts and 160 Exchange ones. Probably too many. By activating only the google ones the issue was solved.
hope it helps...

Yep I saw this on another forum and it worked like a charm. I dont really need to use the phone book anyway, as long as it can let me pick up phone calls im golden.
So, what was the actual change that solved the issues for you? We might want to take this into the FAQ. Did you disable the phonebook sync completely or did you just limit it to Google Contacts?

It was the phonebook sync. When you pair the phone to your car you should get a prompt on the phone that the car is asking for permission to access your contacts, just check the "don't ask again" button and decline it.
I also have a problem downloading contacts. I drive 2011 Subaru Outback with OEM Nav/Bluetooth. How do you select which contacts to sync? Where is the option for selecting/deselecting Google, phone...etc?
Thank you
Hi,
when not syncing your contacts is not an option: If you keep your android running with the navigation app (preventing standby) do you still experience disconnects? If this helps you can try my app "BluetoothKeepalive" from the market, it automatically prevents android standby when being connected via bluetooth.

Hello,
I'm suffering of unstable bluetooth since jelly bean upgrade(stock HTC european version).
I'm using blootooth in a 2009 Seat Altea (same system as Volksvagen, Audi, Skoda)
bluetooth miss automatic connection or delay it for several minutes when starting to drive.
Disconnect after a call
must wait for a while between 2 calls
Yesterday it started to disconnect every 5 min and reconnect on itself...
Have you guys noticed that? Is it related to JB upgrade?
I've been making the following tests:
reduce the number of contact shown in contact list + clear call logs ==> KO
Deactivate contact sync : doesn't disconnect anymore but a lot of issue during call: audio does not activate. Have to recall...
I will have to try a factory reset before opening a case to HTC....
Here are the last experiments and conclusion I came to:
Reducing the contacts list to 47 contacts is not enough to solve issue. Not same issue as the one when you have too many contacts(I think that the limit is around 150 records but I coudn't find any official info).
By selecting only SIM contact in the stock address book, I get synchonisation working and stable connection.
The tests are difficult because even with the full address book first synchro seems to work and it's possible to phone with no disconnection. But next bluetooth connection does not work(you get connected but when you try to call the phone disconnects).
My conclusion is that one(or more) of my google contact have fields used that are incompatible with Seat system.
I have removed any strange names and now all contacts have alphanumerical names in maximum 2 parts. No more special caracters and 3 or 4 names(surnam, firstname, lastname...)
I have to test again...
This is a common issue, with SKODA, Audi/VW, and BMW models in particular.
Jellybean's bluetooth stack doesn't play nice with these devices, you will have frequent disconnects, and phonebooks will not transfer completely.
Allegedly an update to JB is coming to address this and A2DP bluetooth issues, but for now, if car phone usage is important to you, back to ICS is the only solution.
I reduced active contacts to 27 and now the connection is stable.
I can place and receive phone calls!
I suspect some specific limitation with contact, but can't point out which one now...

I've also had Bluetooth issues since Jelly bean. I'm using a Plantronics Voyager UC+ bluetooth earpiece connected to my OneS.
Each time I get into the lift at work, as well as the WiFi dropping, the Bluetooth drops.
I just chatted with HTC and they told me they "Don't recommend using WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time" - Hah, not impressed with that answer at all.
Keen to hear others experience.
Hi,
I haven't been using my Nexus 5 for a few months. Put the sim in powered up, did all the updates and I'm good to go and been using it since a few days ago. When I use it with bluetooth devices (tried two) I'm having a problem where bluetooth is working fine until I get an incoming call. Then it completely disconnects and goes back to the handset speaker. Even if I reject the call, the bluetooth stays disconnected. I wan't having this problem in the past so I assume it was introduced with one of the updates since July.
Searched but don't see anyone having a similar problem. Tried rebooting the phone and even wiped the cache, no luck. Any suggestions?
Well I just upgraded to new Oreo and guess what? I can't use my Bluetooth headset anymore (Blue Tiger Elite). The audio gets distorted or breaking up. Failing to connect or disconnect to/from the phone. Was working fine before update. Tinkering Bluetooth settings in developer mode didn't help since they will stay unchanged after you open the menu again.
Have anyone encountered same problem?
When im paired up with the stereo in my work truck i noticed a pop every now and then.

Audio streaming on Nougat for me was perfect all the time, now since my Oreo update I've experienced constant stuttering and/or growly distortion for a moment at least every ten seconds. Also 'Settings' keeps closing whenever I'm accessing any of my apps when changing permissions for example. It couldn't even pull up my app list, so I've done a backup and deleted at least 300 of my apps, and only now things are slightly better. I don't understand why everything is lagging so much now when before the update, all was perfect.. Help?

Try factory reset, it worked for me. Good luck!
Yes, I'm having the same issue with bluetooth connection and the same Blue Tiger Elite. Just got off the phone with Verizon tech person he is thinking my headset is old enough technology that it won't stay connected.

Hi all,
I`ve been with HTC from 2006 onwards. The U11 was the best one so far. (M8 was nice too!)
Now it's failing on me after 3 years of use. (bat is still fine!)
I make the most of my calls in the car over Bluetooth connection to the radio.
On both incoming and outgoing calls, the phone dies completely. No history of the call is recorded in the dial section, nor am I prompted with a crash log.
Temp of the phone is normal.
Factory reset doesn`t change it. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not and it happens mostly when connected over Bluetooth.
Any words of wisdom from you guys? Should this be hard or software related?
Hope to keep this one for a while and therefore hope for some help!!
Thanks in advance,
Erik, the Netherlands.
Update for those who are interested.
I installed Lineage OS 16 to see if it`s based on the software.
Problem still exists. Bugger. New phone I guess...
