Hi, well the Nokia 6.1 is my first Nokia after many, many years on Motorola. It's a good and very beautiful fon. But tow problems annoy me. First thing, the Camera App. Laggy, sometimes, the fon frezze. When In take a Shot from Whatsapp directly, the fon is freezing. Please Update!
Second, so many Problems with Bluetooth-Connect. I'll paire the Nokia with my Garmin Vivoactive 3 - the initial Pair and the intial Synch will works fine. Leave the Connection-Area, the Nokia doesen't reconnect the Watch. I'll test with a Motorola fon and a Amazon Fire Tabelt, the reconncet works very well - it's must be a problem on the Nokia / Oreo Side...
Well, hope your undersand my pooooooor English Greetings from Germany, Andreas

Keep in mind that the phone is just released here in Europe. We can't expect them to just have fixed every problem in the universe.
I too have sometimes problems with some minor lag, but I just think we need to be a little more patient for Nokia/Google to release improvements.
Same problems here with Bluetooth connections and overall phone lagginess...
TA-1068 - two different Bluetooth headsets connect flawlessly, but when the phone is in my pocket I experience some connection problems, like losing connection for a moment. If it's out of the pocket and near the headset, connection is ok. Guess some range problems...
I was experiencing the lagging as well, very very noticeable and not good considering previous phone was Moto g2015 and felt just as slow as the Nokia.
So I decided to try something which seems to have fixed all lagging. I disabled the camera app that came with the phone, installed Google camera, and then restarted. Lag is now gone. It really sucks they shipped this phone with a buggy camera app but glad I figured out a fix

I'm having very annoying audio problems with the 6.1, with both Bluetooth and the audio jack.
When I connect my phone to a speaker or headset via Bluetooth, the audio is constantly dropping out. Once every 10-20 seconds it sounds like someone turns the sound to 0, pauses, then slowly turns the volume back up again. And this happens with the phone sitting less than 2 feet away from the speaker/headphones. I've tried with two Bluetooth devices (3-4 year old jLab Crasher; brand new Anker headphones) and 2 apps (Amazon Music; Podcast Addict) and all 4 combinations had the constant drop outs. I've tried rebooting the phone. I've used the Bluetooth headset on a different, much older, device and had no issue, so I'm nearly positive it's the phone. Are other people experiencing these frequent drop outs too? Or do I just have a defective Bluetooth radio in my phone?
Normally I don't even use Bluetooth because I prefer the consistency of a plugged in cable. I probably wouldn't have even discovered the Bluetooth problem were it not for the audio jack. It's not as consistent but just as annoying. I'll be listening to Podcast Addict and suddenly the audio will just stop playing through my headphones. I'll look at the app and about half the time the podcast will be paused but the other half it'll still be playing and I'll have to do a weird combination of unplugging and re-plugging the headphones combined with closing and reopening the podcast before it'll play through the headphones again. Again, is anyone else experiencing headphone jack issues?
Similar 3.5mm audio plug problems here also.

You can start this problem at the Nokia support app. They can help you through chat. Maybe they know the solution for that
I too came from Moto

the camera issues can be remedied by side loading the 7 plus camera apk and with BT try disabling BT "scanning" in the settings. I also noticed an improvement with Wifi by disabling "scanning" as well .

At the risk of jinxing things, I think that fixed it! I had seen something for the Nokia 6 (2017) about disabling BT scanning but I couldn't find it anywhere on my menu so I thought it was specific to that model. Dopey me. Finally found it and switched scanning off and now I've listened over 5 minutes without a single drop out. Thanks!
Edit: Well, that worked for one night. Turned off the Bluetooth and Wifi scanners and was able to listen over Bluetooth for over an hour with just one drop. Then this morning got 5 drops in a minute. Rebooted the phone and got even more. Will contact Nokia support.
Strange. I have obviously switched off the scanning at first set up, but Bluetooth problem is there...

I used the Nokia support app and this is what transpired:
1) They had me try the Bluetooth in Safe Mode (while holding power button down tap Restart and then a prompt should pop up for Safe Mode; Click that).
2) In Safe Mode listened to 10 minutes of YouTube drop-free
3) Rebooted into Normal Mode and got 3 drops in the first 1 minute.
4) Back to the chat, where Support had me clear the Bluetooth cache (Applications --> Show System Apps (from 3 dots drop down in upper right corner) --> Bluetooth --> Storage --> Clear cache --> Restart) Did not help me. 3 drop outs in first 60 seconds after restart.
5) Next Support had me Reset Network Settings. (Settings --> Network & Internet--> 3 dots in upper right corner --> Reset WiFi, Mobile & Bluetooth)
6) This works!... For now at least. I'll use it and slowly re-add other Bluetooth devices like my car, my Fitbit, etc. If the audio drops suddenly reappear it may give me a clue on what is causing the problem.

I don't remember if I mentioned, but the may update for pixels fixes a similar problem, so in a couple of days it might get fixed for us also.

My issue today is that my bluetooth will not pair properly and remember its configurations. My initial pairing on my phone with my car's flexsmart X3 works perfect, however when I turn off my bluetooth on the phone or turn off my car and turn it back on the phone will still see the flexsmart and it will say it is paired but I get no sound. Upon further investigating I find that in the options setting that neither the call nor music tick box is checked. If I try to tick them it will think for a few seconds and then gray out and do nothing again.
I never had a problem with my note 2 or my temp replacement evo 3d remembering these settings. All I would do with those phones was pair it once and then any time I hopped in the car I would just turn onm,y phone's bluetooth and go. Now with my note 4 I have to unpair and repair the devices each and every time which is a huge pain.
I have read a little bit that this is due to samsung note 4 using a newer bluetooth standard than its predecessors. Is there anyway to circumvent this issue by maybe rolling back the bluetooth drivers or something? I even thought about creating a tasker profile to help with this but still I would have to physically press the search button on the flexsmart eachtime.
Any and all suggestions would be great. Also right now I am on rooted stock 5.0.1
PS: I will try and post some photos to help when I get the chance to get to my car.
I've been start for a solution to this since the phone came out as well. I have the same Bluetooth issues with my phone in my car. Nothing more annoying than having to turn Bluetooth on and off for 10-15 minutes of your drive before you can use the damn thing. Oh wait, more annoying would be when it's been working for a solid 45 minutes or so and then suddenly, with no warning, the Bluetooth connection ends for no reason and your cars stereo comes on instead of what you were streaming only the volume on the cars radio is far louder and it scares the ever living crap out of you

Odd....I dont seem to have that issue. Once I have initially paired the bluetooth it will stay connected without any interruptions. Also pairing for me is really fast and only takes a minute or so. My problem is that instead of my phone remembering the current device settings that it is paired with, it will forget to associate it with calls and data after I turn the bluetooth off and then later back on even though the phone will still remember it is paired with the car bluetooth.
First world problems I know but it gets a tad annoying having to unpair and repair my phone each and everytime I hop in my car to go somewhere if I want to listen to my music.
In the car I don't get a lot of skipping. But when connected to my BT speakers audio does skip a lot and starts playing in ffw then disconnects completely. It's driving me nuts. I've tried all the usual trouble shooting also. No help. Wtf Samsung/Google
Hi all,
I have a Tune2Air Bluetooth adapter in my car which works great with my Nexus 9 and my partner's iPhone. But when I'm connected to it with my G4, the Blueooth connection drops out almost exactly every 12 minutes (+/- 1 minute). After 30 seconds or so the phone reconnects but it's annoying as hell, especially when the dropout occurs when Google Maps is giving me a crucial navigation instruction. My phone is an international H815, totally stock, running build 20D of Marshmallow.
Here's what I've tried/observed:
The phone stays connected without any problems to my Bose Bluetooth speakers at home.
I have made sure that all power saving modes are turned off. I have added Bluetooth to the Ignore Optimizations list in case MM's Doze mode is causing this.
I noticed that when on long drives in the country the phone seems to stay connected to the Tune2Air without the usual dropout. This made me wonder if it could be an interaction to do with the cell radio that is causing the dropout. I tried just sitting in my driveway (in case it was cell-tower handoff) but the dropout still occurs. I have tried disabling mobile data and WiFi while driving but the dropout still occurs.
My mobile provider supports Fast Dormancy and I usually have this enabled. I wondered if maybe this is causing the problem (because of some difference between the city and country cell towers) so I tried disabling it, but the problem persists.
I looked in the log using logcat but couldn't see anything indicating why the connection is dropping. I tried enabling Bluetooth logging from the Developer Menu but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work.
I'd really like to solve this problem but I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone suggest anything else that I could try? Are there any other Bluetooth or mobile network timers of this approximate duration that could be causing the problem? Or any other settings in the service menu that I could try?
Thanks,
james
You can try Flashing the 20e version, much more stable than D
I don't see an update to 20e, either OTA or using LG Bridge. Reading the forums, the consensus seems to be that 20e does not differ significantly from 20d. I think I'll stick with 20d for the time being as I can't bear the thought of doing another factory reset right now.

Hi, This is a bit of a wild stab in the dark but with the seeming regularity it could be a service / polling issue. Have you checked the location based profiles - Perhaps the "turn off Bluetooth when I'm away from home" option is set and this is happening every 12 minutes? Like I said, bit of a wild stab in the dark/ suggestion but might be worth a check. You could also check it whilst sitting in your driveway and see if it happens....

Ooh, you could be onto something here. I'm going to try disabling "Bluetooth scanning" setting under the Scanning menu on the location screen and see what happens. Another possible culprit is Google Location History so I can try disabling that. As a last ditch effort I will try switching my Location Mode from High Accuracy to Device Sensors Only and see if that helps. I'll report back once I can get a chunk of time in the car.
Thanks!
So I tried all of the things I mentioned previously, rebooted, and it was still doing it - disconnecting every 12-13 minutes.
BUT after some more experiments last week the problem seems to have "fixed itself". Here's what I did...
I was wondering if it wasn't an app that was interfering and causing the dropout so I decided to boot the phone into Safe Mode and see if it helped. Unfortunately it exhibited the same behaviour... Google Play Music played for 12 minutes and then dropped out. So thinking that was pointless I rebooted back to normal mode. My phone then connected to the car stereo but was in this strange mode where audio was still coming out of the speaker rather than being sent across Bluetooth. So I deleted the phone pairing and re-paired and since then, whenever I've gotten in the car, the phone has stayed connected to the car stereo without dropping. Note that this isn't the first time I've deleted and redone the pairing... I'd tried that several times to try and fix the problem. The only new ingredient was going into Safe Mode. Not sure if this cleared something some state in the Bluetooth settings but I'm not complaining.
On the other hand, this is also fairly unsatisfying as it's not clear what "fixed it", and should it happen again I don't have a great degree of confidence that I'll be able to fix it again. Still, it's a step in the right direction and I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
So I think I've finally fixed this once and for all. Thought I'd share here in case it's useful to someone one day.
The problem started happening again after I accidentally deleted the pairing and had to re-pair it. Not sure why but I thought to tap the little cog next to the Tune2Air entry in the Bluetooth Devices list. I was surprised to see that under PROFILES both Call Audio and Media Audio were selected (the Tune2Air device I am connecting just supports Media Audio and doesn't do phone calls). So I unticked the Call Audio, reconnected the device, and everthing's been fine since.
I'm not sure whether the device is advertising that it supports Call Audio or whether the G4 is just assuming that it does. Actually the G4 connects just fine to my Bose soundlink (and just shows the Media Audio profile) so I'm think there's something funny with the BT implementation of the Tune2Air device.
Nevertheless, it seems odd that the phone should drop the whole BT connection after 12-13 minutes if it can't connect to call audio. Maybe someone more familiar with the Bluetooth stack can tell me if this is acceptable behaviour or if the G4 is doing something weird.

Just wanted to give a huge thankyou to you from the future, sladflob. Doubt I'd ever have thought to disable call audio for pairing to my bodged Bovee bluetooth adapter, and this has solved my constant dropout and reconnects.

Hi all...need some help with Bluetooth issues on my pixel 2 XL. I updated to the official Android pie today and noticed that my jbl Bluetooth earphones are having issues with calls. I cannot hear anything thing from the other side and the person on the other side can only hear some weird distortion. However I tried playing music on it and it works fine. Issue is only with calls. Anyone else facing this? I tried unpairing and pairing it again, restarted the phone, tried safe mode too but no luck.
Also I had sound echo issues with wired earphones (connected through dongle) on Oreo so I bought the jbl Bluetooth earphones and the echo was gone...and now after updating to Android pie my Bluetooth earphones don't work
Please help!

I have no issues wtih LG HBS730 BT headphones on calls or music with Pie. I've had four calls total, incoming and outgoing. I listened to music for about five hours too, no glitches.
I've had issues with the anker brand ones.
I have the same issue
Having issues connectingy to my car Bluetooth which has always worked before updating. Also experiencing WiFi drops.
Edit: went to stock Pie unrooted, and not as many wifi disconnects but my phone doesn't even see my car's Bluetooth connection . Fitbit connects just fine though. Weird..
Android Bluetooth is flakey as hell. Everyone gets a turn with incompatibility. P fixed my car with the first Dev preview. On O it was crud. There is a massive ongoing thread about it.

I had the same issue on my pixel XL on dp4 and dp5. Bluetooth worked fine for music but only crackled a little bit for phone calls. Both headsets and car were affected. Troubleshot it with Google rep and they told me my phone was broken. I also had multiple sensors stop working so auto brightness was broken and auto rotate was also broken (And a few other features like tap to wake screen). I ended up buying a pixel 2 xl and sending the other to Google as a trade in yesterday. Now I'm wondering if it wasn't just the software. I actually reset the phone and everything worked for a day or so before it failed again. I then exited the beta and everything worked on 8.1 Oreo for about a day before it all broke again. At that point I concluded it must be the phone. Hopefully the software didn't burn something up. I'm going to be ticked if this phone starts giving me trouble.
Are there any troubleshooting steps I can follow to see if solves the issue? Because it only happens on calls but music seems to be fine.
You can try rebooting in safe mode (long press the power off icon when you press the power button). I will restart with only minimal apps to see if it's being caused by a non Google app.

I tried this on my device but even in safe mode i faced the same issue
Ever since upgrading to PIE, I can no longer connect my my pioneer appradio head unit.
Phone works, but media Spotify or Pandora does not
Having the same issue, also, my "disable absolute volume" in developer settings doesn't work. I guess this is what to expect for early adopters.
I have had no issues with connectivity to my bluetooth headphones or to my car's bluetooth
However I have noticed that twice when I had phone call before entering the car and I connect to the car's bluetooth and the call is transferred to the car's audio, I get disconnected for a couple of seconds (after initially connecting correctly) and then it automatically reconnects and call continues normally ..

Well, they seem to think that the problem is an app from the play store that doesn't play nice with Pie. Frustratingly, the problem corrects itself sometimes (but not all the time) after a reboot. They had me reboot into safe mode and this time it worked. After 20 minutes our support call was over. 30 minutes later one of my three headsets (with the oldest bluetooth version) didn't work, but two of the three did.
The tech (Jen, who was super nice but sounded like she was overseas and had to repeat herself a few times for clarity) said they only have 2 support options for this issue: 1) boot into safe mode and blame one of the apps from the play store or 2) FACTORY RESET THE PHONE! Once I explained that the phone was my google authenticator she suggested that to further troubleshoot I should turn off two factor for my google account (Ummm, no thanks. And that is why you should always PRINT OUT the QR code and put it in a fire-proof box in case you need to recover it)
I'll post back if it breaks again, but right now at least I can live with it.
Only "issue" for me is my wife's ILX doesn't seem to update the music information anymore. With the betas it did for a fee songs then seemed to stop. Now it's nothing at all but will double check today since I only drive it on occasion. Other than that, playback on our cars, Bluetooth speakers and headphones has been just fine. Love that it remembers the volume set per each device. No super low or super loud volumes on the start of playback.

I also have Bluetooth issues with Pie when connecting to my car (2017 Audi A4 with MMI+) I never use Android Auto by the way:
- Music playback is flaky: I have to start Play Music before connecting to the car, otherwise it cannot stream anything. Sometimes even this doesn't work and I have to repair again. This sucks, you always have to spend some time to check if everything works!
- My Radar trap warning app blitzer.de only works when streaming Audio from the phone to the car, even though I set Audio to HFP. With Oreo, the app started a phone call, it looked exactly like an incoming call. Now it only adds the warning to the phone's Audio Stream, so when listening to radio or streaming from a HDD I get no warnings.
- Phone calls work flawlessly, though
Try removing or 'forgetting' paired device and add it back again. It worked with my AirPods.
Anyone else having issues with connecting the 7T to their car and getting audio going out of it? My OG Pixel didn't have a problem, but I have to toggle off/toggle on Bluetooth and then manually tap the car's bluetooth listing to get it to actually 'connect' the audio portion.
Rather annoying, considering I'm only in the car for a few minutes at a time, this either eats into the time entirely, or makes me sit in my car for a couple minutes before even driving to fiddle with the bluetooth settings.
Car has stock headunit, 2015 Evo X. Like I said, original Pixel XL had no issues, but this is annoying. I've tried changing bluetooth versions to no avail. I can see it connecting and dropping the bluetooth connection fairly frequently while staring at it and trying to 'get it going'. But once it connects, it stays there.
My bluetooth headphones (Some knock off cheap Chinese ones for $20) don't seem to have an issue.
My connection to my aftermarket stereo is fine. Just seems a little quieter than my last phone. Connecting is kind of slow too when I start my car but it is automatic.
I don't have any issues with connecting to all 3 cars (2014 Honda Accord, 2009 Pontiac G8 Gt and a 2018 Honda Fit) but I do agree that the volume seems a little lower than my previous phone (Galaxy S8).

Hmm. Weird. Is there anyway I can check for logs to find out what exactly is happening? I haven't rooted, just don't know if it's something I can naturally pull from Android as a whole.
I had the same issue, but when I made the phone discoverable and initiated bt from the car stereo it seemed to work.
I also set a custom pin , not the default 0000
My bluetooth is quiet, but its also static-y. I never had any issues with my G6 and now I get static clipping every 10 or so seconds. Its unbearable.

I'm not really having an issue pairing it, but it's just connecting after pairing is the problem.
I have changed the default pin. I can see it popping up and down the car stereo a few times in the bluetooth settings before it just gives up.
As for the other issues, I'm not having a problem at all with audio volume, nor popping/static when it finally does connect.
My volume is super low when connected to Android Auto and streaming music. Have to turn the radio up to max. However, I'm assuming that's an AA issue or Android issue, as it seems many others are having the same problem with different phones. Been thinking of adding an aftermarket amp to the car. Maybe I should pull the trigger. Lol

However, I'm assuming that's an AA issue or Android issue, as it seems many others are having the same problem with different phones. Been thinking of adding an aftermarket amp to the car. Maybe I should pull the trigger. Lol

Be careful that a bugfix doesn't come and blow your eardrums out, lol.

My OnePlus 7t connects fine and phone works for calls on 2014 cts. The sound comes out of phone can change song on head unit but I can't get audio to play through car. Anyone else get this?
Yeah music stutters with car player... Only calls work. Music works on headphones etc. I couldn't find solution, did network reset, cleared cache. Nothing works.
Seriously!
I've wasted at least two hours already trying all the recommended steps: from flicking icons on and off to a full phone reset.
Still no connection to my Suzuki S-cross car. Multiple previous phones have connected effortlessly.
Even the $50 temporary five year old borrowed phone could handle it.
Anyone got any other suggestions? Yes, tried the AVRCP setting change from 1.4 to 1.6. That didn't work either...
Barebones system reset from scratch running O2 OS 10.0.6HD65AA
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
I need to be able to talk and drive!
Reset the car radio and clear all pairing data if you can. Then try again.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried that.
Tried one other car - no problems.
Tried a tablet and a very old phone with the car and suprise - the car's bluetooth seems to be the problem.
I will try and find out if I can fix the car!
UPDATE: Morale of the story - read the car manual very very carefully and go though each tedious step = SUCCESS

Yep most have lots of tedious steps that are different model to model and if not followed exactly will cause this problem on occasion..
In my case music starts to be scrambled after 10 minutes or so of listening. When I take the phone (so the watch pops up) or turn on the screen it immediately works fine again, but when being put aside and the screen turns off, the issue starts again ..
Also in the early days of my previous 5t I had the same issues but some fix was delivered together with oxygen os update. And now the same story again
I have a different issue with Bluetooth:
- OP7T connects to car Bluetooth fine
- I can make/answer calls
- Bluetooth media works fine
The problem is with Google Assistant & car audio:
- it was working as intended until the latest update - 10.0.15 - I was pressing the button on the steering wheel the google assistant was answering questions through the car bluetooth, no need to switch to bluetooth media.
- after the latest update, when I press the button on the steering wheel, Google assistant pops on the phone , starts to answer question, but cuts off after 5 seconds. the command still goes through and Assistant still runs, but does not come up on the car audio.
- it looks like the Assistant is not connecting to the car as a hands free, but as to a bluetooth handsets.
Anyone experiencing this?
My P6P (US Unlocked) no longer plays media via bluetooth in my car. It just decided to stop suddently (while playing). Calls are still fine.
Things I tried:
- Bluetooth On/Off (On the car and on the phone)
- Unpairing/Pairing
- Reset Network Preferences on the phone
- Tried another phone with the car (works fine)
- Enabled/Disabled the bluetooth media profile (kept the calls and contacts sharing)
- Paired other bluetooth speakers to the phone and they work fine.
The phone seems to think that audio is playing and so is the car, it's just silent. I'm on the December update.
Any thoughts?
Are you by chance having this problem with SOUNDCLOUD? It's been trouble since my Pixel 2 & 3XL / Android 11. And I can get it started with force stop + clear cache, but it is a pain!

I've had a similar issue since getting the P6P. Usually it's (randomly) when I try to skip/restart a song or when the song ends the phone will still think it's playing, but the display for the car will show it's paused so audio will stop. To get it playing again I have to turn the phone screen on and press pause then play and it'll start playing normally. As you mentioned, only an issue in the car. No issues with any other bluetooth devices.
I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it, but I updated to the December build last night hoping that might fix the issue. Haven't been anywhere yet today to see if it worked, but your post is giving me doubts now lol.
Edit: Just to add, this is playing music locally from storage with the Retro Music app.
Since the December update i have the same problem, it will connect to phone but will disconnect and not reconnect to play media
On the December update. Was in the car today playing all my media. Iike Spotify and local music and works like a charm. Sounds awesome in my Mazda 3 through Bluetooth. Also same call signal as before more or less. Right now at least is good....but haven't left my area as it's the weekend. LOVE MY P6P!
More things I tried:
- In Developer Settings, changed Bluetooth AVRCP to version 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6.
- In Developed Settings, disabled hardware A2DP.
Still no dice, maybe I should go for a factory reset? Man this phone is weird
Yeah my bluetooth headphones and my home theater amp do not skip a beat, but my car keeps cutting out the music, only just started happening, slightly after decmeber update, so I think they pushed other updates (playstore) which caused these issues. Rebooting the phone fixed it, but nothing else including mentioned in the OP repairing the phone to the car, seemed to make it slightly better.
I too have also noticed the similar issue where the music just stops for no reason, and the phone app thinks its still playing, phone reports it's still connected.
For the OP, if you rock the volume keys up down and up again does it change, beause I did have mine at some point force to zero volume.
Update, it scould be related to temperature because in the morning do not seem to have the same problem, only in the afternoon, temp about 30deg C

I tried to rock the volume buttons on both the car and the phone and it doesn't seem to change anything. Both the car and the phone actually think that music is playing (as if it was on mute) and the progress time is always in sync.

Nope, It was actually fixed after factory reseting the car's headunit. Weird but at least it's all good now....

Hi mate, i had same issue, installing android 12L beta 3 fix all my problems, battery is awesome, fingerprint fast, animations smooth like butter....give it a chance and try, maybe fix all your problems.
I know it's a long shot but you should check the settings for automatic do not disturb. I had that happen when the phone realized I was driving and it drove me nuts. Uncheck and mystery solved.
Now if someone can tell me why at completely random times and within a call the device switches back to phone speaker or watch Bluetooth while on an Android auto phone call I'd be appreciative.

Try disabling a2dp hardware offload in the developer settings, fixed all my bluetooth issues.
