Hi,
I have recently (last week) joined the OnePlus party by getting myself the 7 Pro after being with Samsung since the S2 days.
I like the phone but there are a few issues I am having.
The main issue I am having is the Bluetooth Tethering. I need this for when I am in my car (Mercedes use this method for internet connectivity). I switch it on and try to connect but after a while it just tells me that the data connection is temporarily unavailable. My mobile data works fine so I'm assuming that isn't the issue. When I am parked on my drive and in range of my home WiFi and I try and connect the connection is successful. It is as if the phone is blocking the mobile data connection when accessing via bluetooth tethering. This wasn't an issue on my Note 9 using the same SIM.
Does anybody have a fix for this or are having similar issues? If this cannot work then it is a deal breaker for me and I'll be reluctantly returning the phone to Amazon.
On a side note I have even tried changing the dun status via ADB Shell after finding what was supposed fix online but it did not help.
Thanks
I am no Bluetooth expert, and it may not apply here, but there are a number of various Bluetooth settings that can be altered in the Developers setting. Maybe something there can help???
Hi Jaseman,
I shall look into that. Currently doing a full backup of the phone to my PC before doing a downgrade from Android 10 to 9. I'm hearing that 10 is buggy so I'm hoping that is the culprit.
Thank you for your reply.

Hey so I rooted my Nexus 5 recently and pretty soon after I noticed that I can't connect to my main computer on my LAN. I use apps like airdroid and it refuses to connect over LAN mode and goes to remote mode. If I use terminal and busybox to send out pings, I can ping my router, along with most other devices on the LAN, but just not this computer. Firewall is turned off for testing purposes. I use apps like XBMC remote almost daily so this is become sort of a nuisance. I had a Galaxy Nexus before and it didn't have any of these problems. Any ideas?
I dug out my Galaxy Nexus and tried it again. Same issues. So I'm chalking this up as more of a network issue than a device issue. Still, anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Sorry for the triple post guys. I solved the problem though. Turns out it was just my ****ty Telus all-in-one router acting up and was refusing to forward packets to my computer. Rebooted it and all is good again. Suppose this thread can be closed if that's something you guys do here.
Has anyone else had problems using Bluetooth tethering with your Nexus 5?
I can pair just fine and have no problem accessing the Internet etc. initially; however, after a 5-20 minutes of use the phone stops forwarding bluetooth packets to the Internet. The phone's Internet connectivity remains and Chrome on the Nexus 5 works flawlessly. If I disconnect the PC I'm connecting to the my Nexus 5 and try reconnect then I'm unable to do so. Instead I have to turn the Nexus 5's bluetooth off and enable bluetooth tethering again.
This is my second Nexus 5 as the first one was RMA'd. My first device also had this exact same issue; and was one of many issues that caused me to RMA in the first place. However, given that this is happening again, it looks like this is likely some sort of driver bug rather than anything related to hardware.
I'll root the device and get some proper packet logs (in addition to kernel logs) when I get a chance. For now... has anyone else experienced this?
Interesting. I am having Bluetooth tethering issues with my Wimm, thought maybe T-Mobile was blocking, but hotspot worked fine and they said they weren't. Keep us posted.

At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.
Thread closed. Thank you.
Hi,
I've joined this forum to try and get some help with this along with any future issues as it looks like there's a smart bunch of people on here...
Please do move this to the appropriate area if I've put it in the wrong place.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 on a UK 'Three' contract.
However I recently bought a new car which has a WLAN feature - basically what it does is connects to your phone's portable hotspot, then broadcasts that internet connection on it's own in-car hotspot for passengers to connect to.
The benefit (because at first glance you think "why bother - why not just connect those devices straight to the phone's hotspot?") is that once the car connects to your phone's hotspot it uses the car's antenna to receive data etc which means you get a stronger and more consistent data connection.
So, the issue:
My portable hotspot works fine when connecting a device such as laptop/iPad etc directly to the phone.
However when I connect the car to my personal hotspot, and then a device to the car, it all connects up okay but I get errors on the end-user device saying that there's no internet connection.
I have done quite a lot of testing with this - for example in the following situations it works perfectly for the end-user devices - just never with my S7!!
- Connecting the car to my girlfriend's iPhone SE hotspot (on the same network)
- Connecting the car to my friend's S7 (on the same network?!!)**
- Connecting the car to my home WiFi whilst on the drive
**Interestingly, my friend's S7 was bought separately so had a pure Samsung build on it - mine came from Three so had a load of Three crap on it.
So, to tackle that, yesterday I did a cache wipe and factory data reset, then entered download mode and using Odin, loaded on the latest version of Nougat including all the new BL/AP/CP/CSC files.
Then me and my friend swapped SIM cards to see if that could be the issue, we tried using both phones. None of it worked, and now even his phone with his SIM card in it (which previously worked) no longer works with the car's WLAN.
It still doesn't work and it's driving me mad
Today I'm going to try messing with APN settings because I've read that changing the APN type to just "default" has solved some similar issues to this but without the 'middle-man' car in the middle.
I've also called Three and asked them to send me a replacement SIM card.
I'm sure it is NOT the car that's the issue, as it has worked fine on some devices.
I'm sure it is NOT the Three network that's the issue, as it has worked on 2 other devices on that network.
I suspect it's either some sort of config that needs changing, or the hardware of the phone is faulty.
I have a "remote management session" with Samsung support later today, but I don't expect them to be able to help with this remotely
Any thoughts or ideas here would be greatly appreciated, I'm sorry I've written so much but wanted to include all the info.
Thanks, Andrew
Whenever I use bluetooth ear buds with my Samsung M12, while I am accessing internet through Wifi
(30mbps connection), my internet speed goes down drastically to a point, I cannot even watch YouTube video(360p) without buffering. (Update) Situation have become worse now, can't even open any web page, nothing works when I am using Internet through WiFi and connected to my buds via bluetooth (have tried different buds, headphones, neckband etc).
It happens only when I am connected to buds/headphones etc....otherwise there is no such issue while using bluetooth speakers, or transferring files through bluetooth or simply if bluetooth is turned on. DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, HAVE TRIED RESETING MY PHONE,BLUETOOTH SETTINGS EVERYTHING.
(tried samsung service center also as phone is under warranty, they kept my phone for a week and did nothing)
Nothing works.
I am forced to use wired earphones and headphones while using WiFi.
(HAVE ATTACHED TWO VIDEOS EXPLAINING THE WHOLE SITUATION)
PLEASE CAN ANYBODY HELP ME.

It is because you are using another phone as a hotspot, this setup is slow. It requires more data when using hotspot. For each bit of data that the device you are viewing uses, the device providing the hotspot is consuming several more bits of data, a very inefficient setup. Using Bluetooth at the same time also slows things down because the radio is having to do extra work.

I understand that it is not very efficient setup, I did it in emergency situation. But the problem occurs on Samsung device specifically, i have F41 and oneplus 3T both works perfectly on this same setup while their individual Bluetooth is turned on, only M12 seems to not work
Try if it's working in safe mode

Does this persists on other devices too ?
And does it happen in chrome only or around the whole ui
Try system update
It happens because BT and WiFi shares the band the wireless connection. Either setup your wifi to use 5Ghz or change the channel of the router to something optimal, where other devices (microwave etc.) doesnt ruin your signal.
