Bluetooth Headphones Connecting Problem - Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi, i've just flashed my phone with the newest Pixel Experience Android 12, and now wanted to hear some music. But as I was pairing my JBL True Wireless UA headphones, there was an error message: "Problem connecting. Turn device off & back on"
I've tried that, by turning of the phone and the headphones multiple times, but it didn't change anything.
If anyone has an idea, what could be the problem please let me know.

PS: It's my first post here so ask if you need additional information, or have advice on how to structure my post.

Bluetooth is a problem with gsi's. I am aware of a workaround for lineage but don't remember what it is, unsure about pixel experience.
I recommend you join the telegram group and ask. There are several less buggy gsi variants that will be worked on in the near future so options will hopefully open up if all goes well.

Giving it a shot
I'm not a big camera user anyway, so I'm going to give this a shot. Wish me luck!
Hi Plesse fix camera THX
Hi there..
Is 4g/Lte working?
4g LTE dont work
Great job!
Thanks for your work! This ROM is awesome and if you fix the camera too you're a god. By the way... on this forum there is another Lollipop ROM (Candyrom) where the camera is working. Can you use that? i'm a noob so don't judge me
Just flashed earlier today and seems to be working great! cheers man. Any update on the camera?
Thanks
Camera Works!!!
Great job!!! The camera works and the system is very fluid. i notice some problems on activating mobile data. First time i tried it didn't work. I switch some APN, turned Airplane mode on/off (strange, it required me to enter the PIN 2 times in a row). Finally it worked (i saw the LTE text on signal bars and i was happy ). Another thing i noticed is that the Prefered Network was 3G and i couln'd choose LTE only if i select 2G first and then LTE.
Thanks again!
no sim found
i have a problem, the rom can't find my sim, anyone had a solution?
SIM
(This rom doesn't ask for my PIN so I guess it doesn't read my SIM at all? Clean install (I guess), everything else I tried is working quite fine.)
Settings say baseband version is unknown.
They can't hear me well
Another problem that i noticed is that the other person i'm talking to hears me, and i quote them, "like you are in a tunnel". At first i thought that is their phone, but multiple persons reported that to me. Also, this happened after i flashed this rom.
Baseband Unknown
Hi,
Just installed this and everything works great except for the mobile network. Settings say baseband version "Unknown", doesn't detect sim at all.
Does anyone has any idea on how to fix it?
Cheers!

Hello , I friend says to me : "You don't need root to install cyanogenmod on m4 , only TWRP (teamwin or something like this..) "
And my question is : Is this real ? I don't need root , only TWRP? to install cyanogenmod on m4 ?
Installing the app Selinux and setting it to permissive fixes APN and mobile network problems. I would advise doing some background reading of this app first though.
Flashed it 2 days ago, everything is fine. Sometimes it is a bit laggy, but it looks very nice!
First i had problems with the google play music app. I was not able to listen to music with my headphones but now it works... Don't know why ?
cm12
who can do not be razognanoe kernel on cm12? you're welcome
Hello Guys,
I just tested the CM12 build for the One m4 and i have some issues... i cant connect to my carrier and somehow i can't install the gapps. i downloaded the one provided in the first post and i tried to download the most recent ones. If i try to install the gapps, my recovery just pops up the main menu with no error-codes or something. it is just loke blown away, if you know what i mean... and, yeah, i cant connect to my carrier, which is like... meh... not actually good for daily use... :/ if there is a way to fix it all, please let me know, i could use some help here.
Greetings Meritili
Edit:
Managed to install the gapps, carrier Problem is still there, help please!
Great Rom !! Thnx
Nice Rom
but... vibration intensity does not work
Bluetooth Problems
Hi, first of all thanks for providing this ROM. I tried both the 5.0 as well as the fresh 5.1 build and most things, apart from some spontanious reboots, are working exceptionally well (IMO better than CM11).
One problem I observed is that I can't use bluetooth to make calls. I am not sure, whether this is a general CM12 problem, or whether it's specific to our device. The same problem is also present when using the other Lollipop ROM based on CM12 in the forum (Candy5). I also found some reports of users of other devices that also have bluetooth problems when using CM12 or some other Android 5.x based ROM.
To clarify: I can pair and connect to bluetooth devices that offer headset functionality (tried bluetooth headset and bluetooth radio in car), and I can also stream music via bluetooth. What I can't do is making actual calls via bluetooth. Both bluetooth devices noticed that a call is about to be made, and also the correct number was displayed in the radio display. But no sound was audible and the other side couldn't hear me. The call itself was okay when switching to internal speakers. Dis-/Re-enabling of bluetooth options did not fix anything.
Audio playback over bluetooth is also rather sluggish and sometimes leads to freezes. Also sometimes the option to use bluetooth for media playback has to be disabled and reenabled for it to work.
Unfortunately I can only test bluetooth in my car (the headset wasn't mine) so it is kinda hard to generate logs. I will try over the next few days to produce one.

Unbelievable. Oneplus claims that a bug is now a feature.

Here, check this out.
Me:
When two BT devices capable of telephony functions are connected, the second one connects as "Connected (no phone)", and its telephony function cannot be used.
Example (picture attached). If Huawei Watch is already connected, when Jabra Talk attempts to connect, it will connect as described above, and one cannot make or receive phone calls on Jabra Talk (but still can on the watch.)
Oneplus support:
Thank you for taking the time to send us this email as well as the screenshot that you provided. I understand that you want to use both of the Bluetooth devices for easy access and getting in touch with loved ones for helping us keep on track with our daily activities.
I would like to inform you that the OnePlus 6 can actually connect to two Bluetooth devices. However, by default, you can only choose one for making and receiving calls. Just choose which you preferred to use by toggling the "Phone calls" under each setting of the Bluetooth devices.
This bug was not present in 5.1.5. They introduced it in 5.1.6/7.
This bug is present in all Pixel phones because it's a buggy Google code that Google simply does not care to fix.
Samsung fixed this in their phones.
So, I am guessing OP had this fixed in 5.1.5, but then they just lazily copied and pasted that Google garbage code.
And they don't know how to fix it now. So now it's a freaking feature.
UNBELIEVABLE!
I have the same problem with my Huawei Watch and my cars hands free system
I tried to disconnect the watch with Tasker as soon as my hands free system connects, but it never worked reliable (because the watch connects again immediately and takes over the call functionality)
I guess we need to wait until we get Android Pie because as far as I know this problem is solved with Android Pie

I hope so. But I'm not that hopeful - I think it's a Google bug, and they simply don't care to fix it.
Meanwhile, I have to disable the phone functionality on the Watch so I can use my hands free car kit.
It's so disappointing, especially since this stuff always worked with Samsung phones, OOS 5.1.5 (the bug was introduced in 5.1.6/7) and even the early Pixel, pre Android 7.0.2.

if Google's code is garbage, I suggest you stop using android and start making your own good code!

I disabled the phone functionality too
I had a Samsung phone before as well (Note 8) and with that I had no problems with my hands free kit but instead the smartwatch lost the phone functionality after a few hours so I always had to reconnect it (basically the same problem but the other way round)... it's very frustrating that such a pretty basic thing doesn't work properly
I also tried this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect
but it didn't seem to make any difference, it didn't seem to make anything at all
I read that Android Pie is able to connect to more than one Bluetooth headset at a time so this should fix the issue after all

I had a Pixel XL for over a year. Only kept it for Project FI. Bug ridden POS.
Sold it for half going price just so I could feel clean again.
Even if Samsung *used* to have sluggish Touchwiz in the past, at least it didn't have deal breaking bugs.
Don't even have to make my own code - some XDA roms had fixed this bug, as opposed to Google.

I am almost positive that if you had a somewhat similar problem on a Note 8, it's probably Google's fault.
I don't really use the 2 BT phone functionality for more than 30 min on average, but I've never had any problems on Note 7, GS6 or GS9, or even on a Pixel pre 7.0.2 android, when this bug was first introduced.
After 7.0.2, bluetooth stuff just broke everywhere. This bug, constant disconnects and reconnects, for some people music skips, for some doesn't even work, BT UI in Settings just crashing etc.
It's like Google replaced their BT programmer with a monkey at that point, or even a monkey's nephew.
So just because you cannot use 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously to make phone calls, it's a deal breaker??? Lmao please please please go back to Samsung so we don't have to hear the whining anymore. Good luck with those bootloaders

Mi Note3 Bluetooth activates itself

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question and I have asked this question in Xiaomi Mi Note 3 section of the forum but I didn't get any reply.
I have noticed that my mi note 3 is switching on Bluetooth automatically for last few weeks - this happens really randomly.
I do not use Bluetooth that often (only in my car - which is maybe 2-3 times a month).
In car I have NFC tag that switches Bluetooth on. In other places I have no tags or any other processes scheduled to activate bluetooth.
I don't recall installing any new apps or making any changes in the phone configuration.
I have checked all of the settings I could finf and I couldn't figure it out.
Is there a log that I can access to see what is switching my Bluetooth?
I know about HCI log in dev. options - would that include this type of info?
Or is there maybe some other log that I could access to see this type of information (what switched the Bluetooth on)?
I am running the latest nightly build of Linage OS 16.0.

Android 12 Beta GSI Moto G 5G Ace Kiev development

update to more stable gsi 12
Hi, I have the moto one 5G ace, and I am very happy that we can get android 12 on it now. I have a few questions though.
A) how do I get android 11, when I try to update, it says android 10 is the latest version on moto updates.
B) where is the vbmeta, I am assuming google's GSI website.
C) does this GSI continue to receive android 12 updates?
Also, if you could friend me on discord at TheNextGamer21#9216, I have a team of developers that could help build a GSI for this device
Found the most stable Android 12 gsi for both the moto g 5 g kiev and moto g 5 g stylus.
I've tested both now for over a week as daily drivers and the gsi rom is 98% stable.
Has transformed my phone into a pixel...running Android 12..
Now there is bugs and some compromises one has to accept if you want this rom as a daily driver.

Thanks for the link. I tried that yesterday but whenever I attempt to connect my BT device the whole phone locks up and freezes. Everything goes back to normal if I turn of the BT device.
EDIT: Saw in another thread you were having issues with the "e" build. Going to try and install the prior build and see if that resolves my issues.

no worries..
let me know how its working for ya..
lastly, my Bluetooth had a slight delay when watching videos so to have Bluetooth working like stock. grab the "BTFM.bin " file from the stock firmware folder and flash it in fastboot mode.
code ..
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
still working on VOLTE....
@jhjhjhjhjhjh Still no luck. I decided to check if maybe my BT device would work during phone calls and to my surprise it does. So it just seems to be something with media playback.

Weird ...I followed the instructions to the tee. Bluetooth works here..
As soon as the bugs are out I'll hop on this.
Where is the development at with this I just seen it and a few questions
You state r/w script, meaning we can get r/w as in "/" mounted rw?
2nd and this is the deal maker, scoped storage, fused storage, adoptable storage.... All that trash that's stopping a lot of functionality of apps, is this a problem in this build?
Lastly and just for **it's a giggles, is there any where you can point me that I can grab one of these roms, not saying it's this easy but for my fingers sake we'll just jump on the sci-fi wagon for a sec, load it up on my PC change what I want to change flash to my phone and not disrespecting the makers, keep it to me.
Is that a dream or reality

What carrier are you on? I tried the latest pixel experience on at&t and had issues with calling and texting (when on 3g preferred network it shows no service but when on LTE only the data works- calls and messages don't go through)

Looking to disable call mode sound channel

Hey, I've had the issue for years with apps like Discord where the audio is super muddy being in a call with friends & family as the audio gets played through the phone's call mode sound channel which is just not necessary at all. There was a setting years back in Discord to have audio played through communication mode but was removed for some reason so I'm looking for a way to just disable the call mode sound channel completely in hopes that the audio sounds properly when using Discord. Would appreciate any insight on this as it's been a really annoying thing for quite some time.
Why not contact Discord to get your issue solved?

The issue was that they removed it initially, it was a feature that was removed and has been removed for years with no answer as to why so I'm looking to just remove that sound channel completely from my phone and to force all audio through the main sound channel. I've seen quite a few people with the same issue with staff saying they will bring it up with the team years back here, I'm afraid going that direction is exhausted so I'm looking for this as an alternative or an app capable of switching them because I know it's a possibility.
