Hi everyone,
I'm a new Pixel 3a user and I was quite excited to finally get my hands on a Pixel, but I immediately found out an issue which is too annoying for me to ignore: the device keeps losing Bluetooth connection with other paired devices, even if only connected with one. This is so bad that if I cover my BT headphone with one hand or turn my head putting it in between the two devices, the audio starts to cut-out until it loses the connection.
I've tried everything, from Network Reset and deleting Bluetooth cache to even install different Android OS from Android 9 to 12 while performing factory resets, the problem is always there and is just too frustrating.
Are you aware of a possibile solution, like if there are any custom ROMs addressing this problem? I saw this is such a common issue in this device.
Thanks in advance.
Try changing the Bluetooth options in developer options. You probably know how to get the settings menu option by tapping the build number.
You could try the Gabeldorsche stack or other settings, e.g. different versions.

Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately I already tried a lot of different combinations of those settings without success. This is stressful as hell.

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps it's a HW issue with the antenna?
My bluetooth has worked very well, except paired to one cheap speaker. The volume was low and could not be adjusted. I tinkered with the developer settings lowering some of the protocol versions and the issue was solved.

Hey all, this is my first post so if I'm doing something wrong here with posting please help me out.
I have recently flashed AOKP Build 36 onto my Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T), and it works pretty great. It doesn't however connect to my car GPS that I hook it up to to play some tunes. I connect via bluetooth.
Heres what happens:
I go into the settings and click bluetooth. It shows me that my car stereo is there and connectable. I click it. It presses for a hot second, and then nothing happens. If I press it a few more times, it states that I have an invalid PIN to connect to it. Now I've been told that when I click on it, it should ask me for the PIN. It doesnt, it just does the above. I am brand new to ICS so perhaps I'm missing some setting somewhere.
So, on to the questions:
Is there a different place to enter the PIN before clicking on it?
Could this be a bug with the rom?
How do I fix it?
Thanks in advanced, you guys rock!
Additional info:
I got the rom from the samsung2root website. I cannot post links yet but hopefully its not to hard to find.
I have heard there are newer builds, but I am not sure they are available for my phone. The official AOKP website doesnt even list my phone as supported.
Just taking a guess here so don't crucify me if don't work have you tried changing the bluetooth settings as you're device might be on invisible check if it's disabled.

Lol, no its a good thought. I clicked on the make device discoverable button before trying to connect a few of the times, it didn't seem to help.
Alright, I figured it out. My car stereo was the issue. I had to re add my phone to the devices list. It thought with the new rom and all that it was a different phone.
Thanks anyway though guys!
After updating to Nougat, I started having problems with my Bluetooth switching off. I have tried resetting my phone to factory settings, but with no success. I only have Android Wear install on my phone so it can't be an app that does it.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Thanks for any help.
Me too ... same problem on Z5 6683 DS
It's android issue, Goto Settings, Location, 3 dots, Searching, then disable Bluetooth search
Mine's spanish, but I guees it should be something like that in english based phones.
That did the trick for me, bluetooth stops switching off after that, hope it helps

Ok, I will try that.
So I've recently updated to the current oreo Beta on my MHA-L29 and I'm facing issues with the Bluetooth audio codec selection. Regardless of what device I connect, Android always switches to the lowest possible settings aka 44. 1kHz streaming and 16bit sample after stopping/starting audio (its enough for a song to end and a new one to start to reset those) now visually the settings don't actually change at all as long as a Bluetooth device is connected, so even if I change to 96kHz the option displays 44.1kHz, however the change in sound quality is definitely noticeable since 44.1kHz has atrocious artifacts on any higher note.
Now my question would be if this is beta related, a general oreo bug or If anyone actually has an idea on how to fix this issue.
Build number: 8.0.0.361(C432)
Bumping this since I still haven't found a fix and maybe someone else has the same issue.
Having the same issue on a Mate 10 Pro, seems to be an Android 8 related problem.
Same issue here.. but bluetooth does work well
Having the same issue, do you think they will fix it?
Updated to .363 today and unfortunately the issue still persists, i am actually starting to get worried now that it will take quite a while for this to be fixxed, if it is adressed at all.
I'm having this issue as well and this is absolutely atrocious.
Ever since I upgraded to android 8 my bluetooth audio sounds like crap. There is very noticable overall hissing and lots of cracking (most noticeably on drums in music).
I also tried digging in the developer options but nothing will stick, this is the first and last time I ever bought a Huawei product.

Im pretty sure Huawei is not to blame for this, since i've seen reports from other phones aswell having the same problem, i believe its an Oreo problem in general that adds ontop of the other bluetooth connectivity issues.
Ran into the same issue myself. Unacceptable audio quality reduction since Oreo update a few days ago. Rolling back to Nougat for now. Based on what I could find, seems to be just as much Google's fault. I really don't like what they did with the notifications either. The app running in the back round is just plain annoying since you can't turn it off.

Is your Bluetooth turned off while you changing the setting. I think bluetooth need to be turned off if you want setting to stick. I tried my phone and it is keeping the setting

I couldnt care less about who's to blame, its unacceptable Huawei pushed this update through with such a major bug in it. If they couldnt fix developer settings not sticking, the least they could've done is make people aware of this issue when they offered the update. I use my phone for music A LOT and if I had known this in advance I would have never updated in the first place. Now im stuck with this crappy audio quality on a phone I paid 655 euros for.
Welp, that's what you get for not waiting around for bug reports I guess....
Does anyone here know if there is a safe way to downgrade back to Nougat without voiding your warranty? I know how to root etc. but I dont feel like totally breaking open my phone again, I got out of that world a while back because I wanted to avoid this crucial stuff not working the way it should stuff. If there is no other way Ill void my warranty but I'm seeing lots of different guides on here and none of them seem that professionally made so I'm kinda on the fence

Fair enough point. You can downgrade safely via the Huawei pc application, just choose update and it should give you the option to downgrade. It will however most likely factory reset your phone so I'd advise you create a backup first.

I downloaded the HiSuite app and there is no downgrade option anywhere.
Edit: Windows 10 antivirus says the downloaded .exe from the official Huawei website is a virus, anyone else have this?
Hello. I've been playing around with the Bluetooth settings and I've found out that while playing Spotify through BT, if I change the kHz to 48 or higher the sound is actually getting better! Although the setting isn't sticking or showing, I'm getting way better sound choosing 48 kHz or better after I press play. Maybe just my phone, but try it out if you're experiencing bad quality BT sound!
Thanks. Will try the 48k sound mode out
I was having this problem with my P20 Pro and Sony WH1000XM2s. Turns out you can get the aptx HD codec and 24bits setting to stick if you select 'Priority on Sound Quality' within Sony's Headphones app. Sample rate is still stuck on 44.1khz however.
Edit: Just turned off bluetooth and set sample rate to 96khz, turned bt back on and it's sticking!
Hi, All
So, I'm trying to run custom ROMs as I want to set my HID_DEV_MTU_SIZE to 512 for amiibos, but every time I boot up the phone or manually turn Bluetooth on, it just says "turning on" and then turns itself off again, then back on, then off, then back on, then off... I can't get it to see any nearby bluetooth devices and the about section doesn't even show a Bluetooth address. It isn't an issue when I have stock OTA Android 10 installed, though...
I've reinstalled both Lineage 17 and Bliss more times than I can count, tried adding qcom.bluetooth.soc=smd to build.prop, disabling A2DP hardware offload; nothing works.
I've done a logcat several times, and it always comes up with bluetooth has died, not sure if that's of any help, though.
I know there have been other threads about this, but none of the solutions on those have helped, so apologies for starting another one.
I'm really lost at this point, any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!
Update: I installed Pixel experience and bluetooth works fine on there!

Well i have in installed and its still troubleshooting... My device is Huawei p20 lite and Pixel Experience v13 installed
Hi, I've bought some Redmi Airdots 3 headphones, and I have problems using them. They have a lot of interference, mainly on the left one. Sometimes they work fine for a moment and I can hear ok, but it doesn't last long, and this makes it impossible to use them.
I've read on another post that something similar happens with Air Pods. I've tried some profile changes from developer mode, but nothing changes.
I've also tried using them without WiFi connection, whithout phone case and they still fail.
The better way I've found is using them with flight mode activated, and they work almost a 95% ok.
Do you have any idea what is happening? Or any sugestions?
Try completely unpairing the airdots, and then try connecting them to another device (preferably with Bluetooth 5.2)
This in order to discard that you're facing an issue with the airdots and not with your phone

I tried before post, I forgot. Unpairing was the first option, and other devices works nice.
I read about security patch update and after that other users have the same problem.

Try going to Developer Options/ Networking/ Absolute Volume.
Check if there's any change by enabling or disabling that option!

I enable absolute volume and it's still working bad. I test different bluetooth profiles on Developer Options when I play music. Sometimes can't hear anything. If I change, work again (Of course, with interferences).
It's my girlfriend's phone... I will try to install a new stock ROM. Do you think do any change? And what do you say about Lineage, I read something about changes on codecs... I can't find that post and I don't remember exactly what they say and I'm newbie in audio options :')
