Car phone status indicator - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

My OP6 phone status in my cars' displays is erratic. Sometimes it shows the phone signal strength properly, but most of the time it shows no signal (when there is a signal) or nothing at all. This happens in both cars (Nissans). My wife's OP5 shows properly in both cars so the problem is not with the cars. Anyone else with this problem or have a solution?

Phone Battery battery low message on bluetooth

My Touch Pro is paired with my carminat bluetooth car satnav thingy and every time the phone connects the car reports that the phone battery is low, even when the battery is fully charged.
I have checked with my TyTn II and it does not do this, so the problem seems to lie with the Touch Pro, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to combat this?
I have a standard ROM (Touch Pro bought from Expansys), with Advanced Config 3.2.0.0 and the AnswerKeys Disabler, not much else on it.
Thanks in advance.
same problem here. my car stereo allways reports it as 0%, not a major problem as it doesn't notify me of this other than simply showing an icon.
would be annoying if it kept saying "battery low!"
mmm, mine pings and flags up messages, most annoying! There has to be a tweak or something?

Bluetooth Disconnects

Hi,
I'm having a problem with intermittent Bluetooth disconnects between my new Touch Pro and my In Car hands free kit, it's a Factory fitted Vauxhall option with the car.
I can pair everything up, and it all works fine, contacts get pushed, recent calls display etc..
Except that after a random period of time, can be 5 mins or an hour, the display on the dashboard in my car changes from showing 'vodafone UK' to the Phone name, and then disconnects.
Looking on the HTC in Bluetooth settings, it shows that Bluetooth has been turned off!
I have tried various things suggested from all sorts of other forum sites, but nothing has worked.
I hope someone can help me here, as I love the phone.
Thanks.

Issues with Stable Bluetooth Connection in Car

I'm having an issue with my bluetooth holding a connection with my 2013 Honda Civic LX. When listening to music through any music playing app, the connection always stays steady. When there is no music running from the phone, I'll frequently get a message from the display on the dash that the phone has been disconnected. The phone will usually reconnect in a second or two, with another display indicating that it has been connected. This will happen at least two times during my commute to work (25 minutes), oftentimes as many as five times. When I am actively in a phone call, the disconnects seem to be more frequent. It has a timer on the display that shows how long the phone call has been active through the car, and it rarely gets above 3 minutes before the call gets routed back to the phone's speakers while the bluetooth reconnects. The strange thing is that my wife's LG G4, also AT&T, has absolutely no connection issues at any time. I switched phones with her for a week just to confirm since I'm the one generally driving this car, and I didn't have the car drop the connection to the phone even once. Before that week, her phone would have occasionally been used when we were both in the car and she wanted to listen to music through her phone, so it had been connected to the car for more than a week.
I factory reset the phone just to see if there was a strange software issue causing the problem. After the factory reset, the phone and car had a steady connection with no drops for about a week. When the problem came back and was obviously just as bad as before, I tried another factory reset. Once again, the connection stayed steady for about a week before I would get disconnects again. At this point, I contacted AT&T, who replaced my phone thinking that it could be a hardware issue. A week after getting my replacement, the issue popped up once again.
Besides factory resetting, which is the only thing I've found to fix it at least temporarily, I have tried a few different troubleshooting steps. I have cleared cache using the storage screen in the settings menu. I've deleted the phone from the car's connection list. I've re-paired the phone to the car without giving permission for contacts or messages. Also tried to just do a simple reboot of the phone, as well as turning bluetooth off and back on. None of these have any effect on the connection issues once they start coming up.
I can take the car to Honda, but judging on the fact that my wife's phone works just fine in the car, I'm convinced that it is somehow an issue with the software on my phone. My phone is not rooted, and is currently running Android 5.1, S/W H81010o, Build LMY47D.
My guess is hardware problem. My G4 seems to do the same thing with my Jaybird X2 headphones. I've had Jaybird swap them and I'm having the same exact issue of disconnect as with the previous set. I doubt I'd get two bad sets, so its gotta be something hardware related. Sorry I wasn't any extra help. I'm just searching to see if anyone else is having my issue.
My hunch would be whatever the BT protocol is that's being used to pair the devices. Or possibly just an isolated hardware incompatibility. I'm on my second G4 (totally separate reason from BT), and neither has had issues with pairing or staying paired. Even if I were to pause or altogether stop playback of audio, the connection remains stable for me. I pair mine with a Sony BT speaker, a Kinovo receiver for streaming to my car stereo, and even a receiver attached to my Yamaha A/V receiver at home. No issues whatsoever.
For what it's worth: I use PowerAmp Pro when I stream, almost exclusively.

The strange thing for me is that my wife's LG G4 (now 6 months old) works fine in my car under the same circumstances, but I've had 2 LG G4's of my own that essentially showed the exact same symptoms almost immediately. I'm leaning far more towards it being software, with whatever glitch not being present immediately after I factory reset but shows up within a week on my Google profile. My guess is that it's related to the phone related data transferred to the car since it stays connected just fine during media playback but disconnects soon after the media stops, but I can only block contacts to test that theory.

Trying to play audio causes Bluetooth connection to die

As long as I've had this phone (January or so), this phone has been extremely flakey with my car's Bluetooth stereo. It connects within about 30 seconds of turning on the car, as usual, and displays a status showing connected. But when I actually try to play an audio file (usually a podcast, sometimes music, sometimes initiate a phone call), the BT connection dies, and the car stereo shows "No audio connection detected". I then have to wait another 30 seconds or so to try again.
This happened maybe 50% of the time when I got the phone, but since the Oreo update I feel like it's up to 85% of the time. It's only the first attempt--subsequent connections are usually fine. Nonetheless, it's driving me nuts. I've had four Android phones over the past seven years (including a Galaxy S2) and none of them ever had an issue with the stereo before this one.
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?
try forgetting the device in car bluetooth settings
You could trying pairing your S8 with another car. This will help you establish whether the issue is with the car or the phone. You could also try to Reset Network Settings
