[MTCD/E] [PX5] BT Search and connection issues with device name and pin

Recently some users including me are having issues with BT Connection, device search, setting device name and making changes persistent.
BT MODULES THAT IT WAS TEST ON:
SD-968 - [HA] [MCU MTCE 2.75] Firmware 20180201 and few earlier = WORKS
MD725 - [??] [MCU ???] Oreo Firmware = DO NOT WORK (According to feedback) LogCat needed to see if Firmware communicate with BT Module at all.
METHOD 1 (SHORTER):
1. Force Stop BT app
2. Clear DATA and CACHE for BT app
METHOD 2 (LONGER):
Here are the steps I've done to make it work.
1. Boot device (restart if it was not in deep sleep)
2. Directly go to system BT settings (drop notification and tap on BT)
3. Set Device name and PIN
4. Press refresh
5. Go to Home Screen (Home Button)
6. Open BT App -> Configuration
7. Name and PIN should be entered now
8. Disable/enable Auto Connect and exit app
9. reenter app and configuration to enable Auto connect
10. Make sure that all previous BT profiles for HU are deleted on phone and that phone is visible for all devices (usually when BT configuration is open device is visible)
11. Try to search for devices. It should fail (it failed for me)
12. Go to factory settings
13. Change BT Device even it is wrong one (I have SD-968 I changed to MD725)
14. Tap Apply -> Exit -> CANCEL on reboot prompt (without doing step 13 there will be no scheduled restart)
15. Reenter Factory settings and set correct BT Module (I have SET SD-968) Tap Apply -> Exit -> and Confirm REBOOT
16. After Reboot Go to BT App and try to search for phone it should be found (make sure it is visible like in step 10)
17. If all is OK you should see the phone and you should be able to use it normally (it worked for me)
Attached pictures of some steps for METHOD 2.
NOTE: I'm ATM at HA 6.0.1 Firmware from 20180201 and issue happened after upgrade. Also from what I see Users have same issue with and after Oreo update. Hope I helped

Thanks for the info. Have you tried this method also for oreo rom as well ?

A step that worked for me was to clear data and cache for bluetooth app..

Good point it didn't worked for me but, it can also help. Added to main post.

You can trigger a reboot with "hctreboot" in factory settings. Does that work instead of doing steps 12-15?
I definitely have the BT issue. I have an Xtrons(GS) MTCD/E PX5 Oreo and an Xtrons brand OBDII. They won't talk or disconnect. I'll try this tomorrow morn and report back.

I have same GS MTCE 2.75 PX5 OREO but an old OBD2, give HU same password as OBD2 adapter..

Point of 12-15 is that HU re init Module itself along with software. Not sure if it works that way on MTCD/E but usually it works on modular systems.

Tried with PX5 oreo installed with no luck. Both methods are not working for me.

What???(I thought that this was a trick for oreo)
In my unit BT(MD725) works without any tricks for MM.
I tried your trick with 2 kinds of oreoROM(HA and GS) but BT did not work.
Thanks anyway

I'm sorry, but as I wrote I have SD-968 BT module not MD725. I'll update main thread with so far know to work devices.

Any news?

Not that I know, I'll be back from Trip on Sunday, so I hope I'll finally finish the tests and upgrade to Oreo in April.

seems to be the same
The solution is to go back to android 6, the problem is that it is not as fluid in my case as android 8.

Hi, same problem here....
I can not use my ODB2 connector on my Android 8 radio either.
Is there an adapter that works?
Is there a trick to make it work?
Greetings and thank you!!

Hi..any update on how to get the bluetooth working on android 8..

if you still have android 8 installed, try going to factory setting and change the BT Device even it is wrong one (anything other then MD725) tap apply and exit and reboot.
after reboot change the BT device back to the original one (MD725) tap apply and exit and reboot.
after reboot go to the system BT and try to search if the phone name appears let me know.
i still didn't try the above method on android 8, but if anyone with MD725 module is still using android 8 please try and update us.
thanks

Dasaita MMCNP - BT connection problem
Hi, I have Dasaita HA2106-V840-8 a problem with Bluetooth connectivity. First time I managed to connect my phone to Dasaita MMCP (car_kit), but after a few days the devices failed to connect. I guess my device has embedded SD968 BT chip, in accordance with the description.
When I enter the name of the device and new PIN in BT settings, and then turn on finding the device, they are not visible to each other. I tried this other day too, but when I turned MMCP, entered settings was gone (not memorized). No name, no PIN, but also there is no connection. Search doesn't have results. At the end I tried to unpair devices and pair them again, but I get a message on my phone "Unable to communicate with CAR_KIT".
When I entered in settings for BT (settings/car/factory setting/application-choose...) it was set to WQ_BC6. And then I tried to set up SD_BC6, reboot, search BT, nothing was found again. Then I returned to WQ_BC6, reboot, search BT, without success. In the end, I tried to set up SD968, but it's not worth it anyway, MMCP does not see a mobile phone. I also tried several phone models without success. I also went to the BT application and clear data and cache, but always the same thing - BT devices do not see each other. I'm not even sure BT is ON because it doesn't have a special slider to move On/Off.
What should I do? Please help me!

wipe data problem

Hi my Max 3 has gone into MI-Recovery 3.0 mode
The options are (a) reboot - when I click on this it brings up a picture of Miui 10 in background with some chinese options about entering wifi passwords?
(b) wipe data - when I click on this it takes me to 'wipe all data', I click again and it asks me to confirm 'wipe all data', it then gets to about 3% on a spacebar and says 'data wiped successfully', and then takes me back to main menu again
(c) connect with mi assistant - asks me to plug phone in using USB then doesn't seem to recognise it
Any body any ideas please on how to reboot my Max 3?
Thank you

Unfortunately your phone is in EDL mode (download mode). Only an authorized Xiaomi account can recover it.
This is due to ARB which is active in Mi Max 3 and other Xiaomis. If you try to go back to the Android or Rom version (in some cases), this will start.

Mi A2 Lite Bluetooth Audio Problems? Back To Oreo?

Hi There,
Just bought my GF a Mi A2 Lite a few weeks ago and she is loving it compared to her old iPhone 5s but one major issue atm is that her bluetooth headphones seem to be giving her issues!
The audio stutters a LOT even when right next to the phone. Tried resetting the Bluetooth connection but to no avail.
I had a quick scan through the forums and seen that people recommend going back to Oreo to solve the issues.
Is there any clear guides or links on how to do this? I know my way around tech so should have any issues following a guide.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's a very annoying bug.... I have it too, but didn't find a solution
That's the reason why I downgraded to Oreo!
If you want to downgrade,
1. you must unlock the bootloader, but this will erase all of your data. So, don't forget to make a backup of your internal storage. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-official-t3885578
2. Install MiFlash and ADB on your computer: https://www.xiaomiflash.com/download/ https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
3. Download an oreo stock rom and unzip it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871
4. Boot your phone into bootloader
-> Connect your phone with your computer and enable ADB in developer settings
-> Shutdown your phone and hold Volume Down and Power-Button to boot your phone into fastboot/bootloader
5. Open the MiFlash-Tool on your computer and select the Oreo-Stock-Rom which you want to install.
6. At the bottom of the MiFlash window you must choose clean all, this will erase all of your data!
7. If your phone gets recognized from your computer and the programm, then you can hit the button flash on the top of the window
8. This procedure takes a while, so be patient.
9. If everything works, it will reboot your phone automatically.
10. Maybe you will have the bug of swapped SIMs. You must install TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/development/official-twrp-daisy-t3855396
and flash this file to fix it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4704476&stc=1&d=1550012435
11. Perfect! You downgraded to Oreo!
I hope this little guide could help you, and sorry if it's a bit complicated

If it's any consolation, I had this issue on Oreo and Pie!
I'm now upgrading to a Pixel 3a, but keeping this phone for development. Might try porting Ubuntu Touch some time. ?

If so, it was a problem with every one I tried!
I tried on a generic Bluetooth speaker, two different generations of Echo Dot, and on a current gen regular Echo.

It is channels problem. Bluetooth and WiFi are on 2.4GHz. Some frequencies are busy and it stutters. Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth. Turn Bluetooth on and connect your Bluetooth device. Wait 10 seconds and turn on WiFi. After this WiFi will avoid frequency where is Bluetooth device and use free frequencies.

You can solve by adding the the missing codecs, all the routes are still there, xiaomi removed licensed codecs

Downgrade helped as of 30.05.2019
Mi A2 lite
Bought Galaxy Buds. Stuttered and eventually lost connection.
NOTE:What comes ahead is my personal experience (with some software errors that doesnt seem to have effect on our goal) downgrading my MI A2 lite to Oreo.
Downloaded Android Oreo 9.6.11 , ADB and Fastboot, Miflash(latest from site) from links in the beginning of the thread.
Very few proper video tutorials (Indian mostlyXD).
Enabled developer options on my phone (tapping 7 times on build number). In developer options enabled allow OEM unlock and turned on usb debug mode.
Turned off phone and launched it it fastboot mode (hold "volume down" and power button simultaneously). Connect phone to PC via usb.
Open folder on PC where you installed ADB and fastboot software. Launch cmd.exe or smth. In black window type "fastboot oem unlock" Enter. The phone reboots (takes a lot of time dont be alert) and wipes data from your phone. You will see a scary message/warning (disappear s after few sec) that asks you to lock bootloader back.
NOTE: somehow my device did not ask for any confirmations for enabling unlocked bootloader.
NOTE 2: I was trying to do this whole process by video and text guides. Some ppl type commands in cmd "fastboot flashing unlock" and then "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" BUT for some reason this commands did nothing. So all I did is oem unlock command.
After OEM unlock command rebooted phone skip all phone setups and open developer mode again (if it is locked) and in dev options check if "allow oem unlock" and usb debug mode is turned on. Turn off your phone and load it in fastboot mode (volume down+power).
On PC unpack Android Oreo files. It should look like a long name folder with some .bat files and folder (avoid unpacking in place with strange name paths).
Launch MiFlash tool. NOTE: it gave me a prompt for installing drivers and after i pressed it gave an error. It is fixed by creating inside MiFlash tool folder a new folder and naming it "log". Then launch the tool again and press install drivers.
Once you are in MiFlash program there is a ling space where you can insert a file path. You need to copy a file path that leads to your unpacked Android Oreo files (the path should lead inside where the .bat files located). Paste this copied path into MiFlash path bar and press refresh button. If there is no error you can proceed by pressing in the bottom right corner a "clear all" option and in the top right "flash" button. This will install Android Oreo on your mi a2 lite.
After the process is done i had an error in MiFlash program BUT the phone reboots on its own with downgraded Android version. Turn the phone off, load it in fastboot mode, connect via usb and run in ADB folder CMD.exe and run "fastboot oem lock" command. The phone reboots, takes a while.
!!!
After it reboots immediately skip all phone setup menus especially wifi and account options and go straight in settings to unlock developer mode. In developer options TURN OFF AUTOMATIC SYSTEM UPDATES! After it you can finish phone setup process ,accounts, networks and everything else.
An Android message "update available" can pop up. To get rid of it for good simply swipe it slowly A BIT (not all the way) till you see a cog sign (options icon) and there turn of this notification.
Now you can go smoke a cigar. Android 8.1.0 Oreo installed AND it wont update automaticlly to PIE. You can use your bluetooth devices properly (or whatever problems you had).
Have a nice day. Gonna probably go buy Samsung A30. This **** is unacceptable. Pie update rolled out long time ago (Android Q is releasing in 3 months from now) and this stuff is still not fixed. Wtf

Solution
I did a simple step to fix pair
Reboot into safe mode, pair the select device, after pair reboot out the safe mode and you see the device paired.
Cheers

on Note10+ I can see Android Auto running in
What I was try
- change usb cable (3 different types)
- in Andorid Auto app on Phone setting I was try delete connected phone
- delete Phone in car infotainment
Any Idea how to solve it? Do you have similar experience?
Thank you
Update:
after testing S10 in the same car and it works again, I was made factory reset of Note10 and it works too.
