After playing for a while the wifi just turns off and so does Bluetooth. I cannot turn it back on (especially wifi as the selector is greyed out) Bluetooth is selectable but turns off within a second of turning on. This is the second time I'm having this issue. I've tried clearing cache. I'm on stock Android 4.3 JSS15R. The only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset. Anyone else with this issue ? Need help.

Update 1: Factory Reset did not help. Still no wifi !
Update 2: After the factory reset my Wifi doesn't work and i cannot get past the welcome screen (which needs wifi connectivity). Great work *Google* [email protected]#[email protected]$
Any ideas ppl ? coz i', sh*t out of 'em.
Interesting... I have a similar experience but my WiFi doesn't turn off - I just lose the ability to transmit/receive data.
When I first heard that the Nexus 7 2013 could use a bluetooth keyboard AND mouse I jumped on purchasing the device. Of course, once both were connected, bluetooth lagged out and repeated keys and the mouse lagged - but if I used ONE bluetooth device it wasn't a problem. However, when I went home to my 5Ghz router, I could connect bluetooth headphones, keyboard, mouse, AND surf the web without a problem.
So it looks like Bluetooth and WiFi share the 2.4Ghz antennae? I haven't had my WiFi shut off but I've had issues if I connect more than one bluetooth device to my Nexus 7 while connected to a 2.4Ghz network. I can have 1 device connected just fine (usually bluetooth headphones).
I'm actually not sure whether to get a replacement or wait for a fix ?! It's basically as good as bricked 'coz im stuck at the welcome screen and no way to even test the hardware.
One thing i had noticed however was the mac address was "unavailable". So does that mean the hardware has failed ? or the OS is broken ?

Wow that's terrible - as soon as I stop the multiple bluetooth device interference, my wifi comes back. Not being able to see the mac address seems like a hardware problem to me too. If I were you, I'd wait to see if anyone else replies to this forum, and if no one responds by end of work today, I'd take your device into the store - show them what it is doing and get a replacement.

Update 1: I was so frustrated that I used the nexus 7 toolkit and unlocked the boot loader and reinstalled the entire JSS15R (stock rom). It still didn't work.
All of a sudden Wifi appears and all works well. I'm seriously confused. I'm still gonna get a replacement.
Update 2: After setting up my accounts Wifi and Bluetooth dead again.
So, i have 2 different vehicles that have Bluetooth calling. When i get in my car, the vehicle connects to my phone and i can make and receive calls through the car and the sound goes through the speakers. Now that my watch is connected as a calling device with the new speaker activated, my vehicles will not connect to my phone. The only i can think of around this is to disable the Bluetooth or enable airplane mode on the watch which is a real pain every time i get it my car. Anyone else have this issue and a solution?
Same here, the car will connect to the phone but will then disconnect. This keeps repeating. If I turn watch off, car connects to phone OK.

Oh, that's bad! But it's somehow also logical. The phone can only be connected to one handsfree/handset device at a time. Even so the car audio is the better choice, the phone does not know this, and will just stay connected to the watch.
Have you tried to connect to the car audio by the BT menu on the smartphone? You car audio is listed under paired devices and you can connect to it manually.
Maybe it will also remember this decision.

Just searched a bit on the internet. The problem is not new, as people with headsets and a BT car stereo experienced the same problems in the past, so maybe there is already a solution for this. I quickly searched and found a potential solution by apps, that manage the BT connection and offer prioritization, like this one claims to be capable of: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect
Maybe this is also something you may investigate into.
I'm very interested on a solution, because I drive a lot of rental cars and I usually connect my phone to the car stereo (if available).
Completely disconnecting the watch is not an option for me, as one reason for buying the watch was to get quick notifications also when I'm in the car.

just disable in the bluetooth settings of the watch on the phone the "phone audio" and it works fine again.
Had the same problem that my car connected to my phone and played music, but the calls were still connected with my watch

Yeah, but if you disable on the watch, you can't use the speaker that was just activated on the watch to make calls.
I actually found a program called triggers that will disconnect the watch and allow the car to connect.
same issue with bt headphones. Kinda annoying.

I tried that. Doesn't help if you are already connected to the watch and get in your car.
Apple watch doesn't have this problem. Google really need to fix this.

Yes, I have this problem too. I will try to play with BT priority, maybe it will help.
So I tried using triggers and it worked to activate my car bluetooth. However, the sound does not go through my car stereo. I went in and had to disable phone calling on the watch bluetooth in my phone to get my car to work correctly. It sucks to have a speaker on a watch and you can't even use it to make calls because it interferes with other devices. I think the basic fix for this is to have a widget or shortcut on the Watch to enable airplane mode when you get into your car. Right now you have to go into settings and scroll through to get to airplane mode.
All I have to do is pull down the quick settings and choose my cars Bluetooth instead of the watch and it switches just fine
yes, priority do not work.

This works for me also. For those having the issue here is one option. Use tasker and secure settings plugin. Create a profile in tasker to monitor BT near. Choose your cars BT. Create a task that uses secure setting plugin to connect to cars Bluetooth. Once done whenever your phone sees the cars BT it will connect. Rooting is not necessary.

I used tasker and triggers to get my car to connect to my phone. The problem is, as long as bluetooth is enabled for the watch, i don't get sound through my car. I have to actually disable the watch to get sound to work.

I'm not having that problem. Might try with secure settings to see if you get a different result. If not it must be a phone or car head unit thing.

It seems that bluetooth near is actually working. I never even knew that existed. Hope it continues. Thanks
Can anyone give me a newbies guide to what you're talking about with triggers and tasker and how to configure?
I'm aware of tasker and have used it a long time ago when I used to root my Android devices, but I'm not entirely sure about the config nowadays especially for this kind of thing.

Hi everyone,
So I bought my HTC 10 a month ago.
Yesterday I took one of my cars, which I haven't driven for a long time, and tried to pair my phone with the car kit. For the record, I have a Parrot Mki9200 installed, since the car's kit did not have BT.
Now the weird part:
- I search the device - OK
- I pair the devices - everything still OK
-after that, it is supposed to instantly connect with the unit and then download my contacts. Long story short, it cannot connect, no matter what. I tried many times but all that happens is I keep waiting until I get an error from the phone " unable to connect" and then something like "make sure that your devices are one, etc".
I could really use some help on this. I even made a factory reset on the Bluetooth unit just to eliminate any conflicts. I called the authorized service in my country and they told me it should be a problem with the phone.
The weird thing is that my M8 connects flawlessly (on Android 6.0), so does a Huawei P9 lite on Marshmallow, so do all the other devices.
Any help?? The last thing I want is to make a factory reset on the phone and make no difference whatsoever.
Is there any way to reset the BT settings on the phone without factory reset? Any other way to fix it or even find the cause?
FYI, on 1.90 firmware currently, no root.
Any help will be highly appreciated, since I cannot imagine what else I can do with a new phone and no option to connect it in my car.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Thanos

A few hours ago I finally found the culprit of the problem, just to let anyone know if they have the same issue.
When you are requested to enter the pairing PIN, a bit below there is an option to allow the BT unit to download the contacts, which is selected by default as always.
All phones never have a problem with that.
Anyhow, this time I deselected this option and guess what, it instantly connected!
Afterwards I selected again this option in settings and now everything works like a charm, it connects instantly every time and the contacts are properly synced.
Best regards,
T.

Hi thanito,
Thanks for the hint ! I had the same problem, your comment was very helpful, I could connect my phone. Although phone works fine and contact are correctly synced, I'm not able to connect the device in Media Audio mode.
The Bluetooth in the car shows "Audio connected". In the device I see only Phone Audio and Contact Sharing. I unpaired and paired it again unsuccessfully.
Do you have an idea how to correct the problem?
Thanks for your help
Fred
Do you have the same car kit unit? Did you try to enter the settings of the paired device and select media audio?

Hi, yes is the same car kit. It went suddenly wrong, I didn't change any settings. I tried to unpair and pair it many times.
When I'm pairing the device I can't select media audio. I'm only asked if I agreed to sync the contacts.
Something strange: when I get a call whatsapp, Soma or Google Duo, I can hear it trough the car Bluetooth for few second then it cuts.
I don't see how to add the Media Audio to a paired device.
Moreover, I don't have Media Audi problem when I connect the HTC10 to the MINI Bose Bluetooth. It works perfectly
Car kit works properly with my Samsung S6 Edge: Phone Audio, Audio Media & Contact sync.

Hi,
See my picture: Audi... = Car Kit, MINI Bose = Music Bluetooth player.
In the options for the paired Audi, I don't have Media Audio and can't select this option. few weeks ago it was ok and suddenly, the Media Audio option disappeared. I can't set it again.

I see..
Did you try unpairing/deleting stored device from both devices?
Usually in factory car kits you get the option to delete the paired device from the memory.
When done, try to find again the phone from the car kit or the car kit from the phone, uncheck the option for the contacts, then recheck it and hope that you are asked to allow media audio access, contact access, etc. I remember that I am prompted for these every time I pair the phone with a new BT device

So this is yet another thread asking for advice on paring an ODB2 device with the HU. I've searched through this forum and haven't found a resolution.
I've recently purchased a Hondash (http://www.hondash.net), it works perfectly when connected to my mobile phone so I know the device works. The HU can see it but won't pair with it. It sees the device as "HONDASH".
I have Xposed-MTC-Manager installed and the OBD workaround didn't work. In settings.ini, I've tried both:
obd_device=HONDASH
(as suggested here on XDA), and
obd_device = HONDASH
(with spaces as suggested on 4pda.ru)
Neither got it to work.
I've tried pairing through the Bluetooth app and Settings.
I've also tried the workaround using XposedMTC to no avail (I also disabled Xposed-MTC-Manager so there was no clash between the two Xposed modules).
It seems most OBD apps do not like the bluetooth on our headunits as when starting them, they ask to enable bluetooth then when you press Allow, they stop on a message saying something like "turning on bluetooth".
So, is there anything else I could try? Is there a way I can force the HU to pair? Are there any terminal emulator commands which force bluetooth pairing? Are there any modified bluetooth apps which fix?
Did you try to set HU bluetooth security code to match OBD? Default is 0000 and I had to change mine to 1234.
Yes, tried exactly that and still not working. I'm wondering if it's a Bluetooth hardware incompatibility or a ROM issue (currently running Booroondook's 5.1.1 ROM).

I have similar issue like on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxI2LqHQrAk.
I have 2 pcs OBDII BT adapter. These work with my 4.4.2. android Samsung mobile. And these have worked 2 years ago with only 4.2.2 OS on the headunit.
I'm using malayk's rom (4_4_4_800X480_RK3066_23_MAL_02_12_2015) now. The BT's is OK, because my mobile phone paired with HU, and the HU works like a headset.
I can't find the pairing process. The HU has found the OBD device, but does't appear the pairing.
It's either a ROM or MCU issue. Xposed-MTC-Manager is supposed to work around this however the module is designed for 4.4.4 not 5.1.1. Replacing mtcmanager.apk with an older version gets some features of Xposed-MTC-Manager to work but unfortunately the Bluetooth work around still doesn't work. I suspect that another file other than mtcmanager.apk needs to be replaced in order for Xposed-MTC-Manager to do it's thing correctly. Currently Xposed-MTC-Manager is trying to patch some code that has changed from what it expects.

I have done this solution:
If they're not pairing and it's not the adapter name issue, disable all Xposed modules and try pairing. After pairing, you can enable the Xposed modules. Many thanks for Core-Lokt!!!
Now my BT OBDII device was paired with HU. I'm using Malaysk ROM. And Torque Pro works well.

I have the Hondash as well and same scenario as yours it won't pair properly to the headunit but works fine on phones. Headunit sees it as "OBD".
I have another OBD adaptor for another vehicle thats shows up as "OBDII" on the headunit and works fine with Torque.
Have you managed to solve this problem? still trying to get mine rooted Allwinner T3 P2 android 4.4.2.

Hi, sorry for delay, haven't been here since before Christmas. Yes, I got it to work eventually. I sent to Hondash dongle thingy back to the developer and he reprogrammed it so the Bluetooth ID was something that would allow the headunit to pair with it. The default is 'HONDASH' which our headunits do not recognise. As it was so long ago, I can't remember exactly, but I think our headunits only like to pair with devices that have 'ODB' in thier ID? He reprogrammed the it and now it pairs with the headunit.

Hi mind sharing photo/video of the head unit functioning with hondash? If really the case I'll have to contact the developer to reprogram the dongle.

Well after all that faffing, I decided having Hondash installed on my headunit is not for me because it's too much out of my line of sight. So It's no longer installed on my headunit. I'm now using Hondash on my previously retired mobile phone which is by the dashboard so more in my line of sight. I've rooted the phone, installed Tasker and setup some fantastic Tasker routines to automate things. If you're interested in doing that, let me know.

Try the MyMTCService app from Play Store. That has the Bluetooth ID workaround, maybe it works better than the Xposed modules.
Hi all, I'm in the market for a new phone, though, that's not what I want to ask. I'm interested in the bluetooth functionality.
What I'd like to know is for all you Xiaomi Mi 6 owners out there - Are you able to have multiple bluetooth devices connected at the same time, just like the S8+? And I'm not talking about dual audio.
To elaborate on the question. I have the leeco le pro 3 and normally have my bluetooth headset everyday. When I jump in my car, the phone connected to the bluetooth car which is expected, however, the phone completely disconnects the bluetooth headset. I just tested out a friends galaxy s8+ and was able to have both bluetooth devices connected at the same time, and "hot swap" between the 2. I'm not sure if this is the result of Apt X technology, android OS version or even the mfr's ROM config.
Can the Mi 6 do that?
Yep, I can do that on my Mi6 - AICP 13.1
The phone is contently connected to my watch (Amazfit pace).
and it connects to my headphones seamlessly.
although i haven't tested 2 BT headset at the same time.
I can test it tonight if it helps
Thank you, yes can you please test it with 2 audio and/or phone channels. In my case, I have a bluetooth car receiver and a bluetooth headset that I want to have connected at the same time, so I can switch between them. I have an old phone that doesn't allow 2 of the same type (phone/audio) channel streams to be connected at the same time. I know that most phones can't stream to 2 at the same time, but I want them to stay connected so I can hot swap.
Below is how my Bluetooth looks when I connect to 2 devices of the same channel. I can't have both phone and audio on both bluetooth devices *connected* at the same time.

Well, I've played with it a little....
As you can see in the attached picture, I have my Amazfit Pace Smartwatch connected.
JBL BT headset for music
And Sena for calls.
You have to set profiles for each one; you can have two BT connections for music or calls, you have to pick what goes where.
But at a click of a button I can switch between them (is this what you call "hot swap"?)
As far as I know, both the Samsung and the Xiaomi have BT 5.0
So I don't think it's a hardware limitation.
It's also worth mentioning that I'm using a custom rom:
AICP 13.1, stable build, ver 21.05.18, based on LOS 8.1

Hey @R0ttenB4ndit
Just now saw your edit
well, I've done some digging and.... not good
With Android Oreo (I use ver 8.1) I now have the ability to set the AVRCP version to 1.6 (insted of 1.4)
I can also select a variety of Audio Codecs, but no matter what I choose (eg. aptX HD) it wouldn't stick, only SBC works for now.
It's 100% software limitation, just like I said earlier
both SGS8+ and the MI6 have BT 5.0 (and the Pixel2 and OPO5 and others)
but so far, only Samsung has used Android Oreo BT5 abilities
I guess it's a matter of time and ambition from our devs.
BTW, if it help, android P should bring us the ability to connect to 5 devices!

Samsung did something differently, that is why they can do it while others can't.
sucks....
BTW, ZTE did it too with the AXON M

[*]You have to set profiles for each one; you can have two BT connections for music or calls, you have to pick what goes where.
Yeah that's what I have to do now, because when I connect the second device... the previous device will get completely disconnected from the phone. I have to go in an manually choose which profile goes on what device to have both connected, but that doesn't help me since I can't push (for instance) the answer button and have the bluetooth transfer the call or media over to the specified BT device.
[*]But at a click of a button I can switch between them (is this what you call "hot swap"?)
Do you mean the click of a physical button?? Yes ! that's what I mean as hot swap. When I press a button on one headset, I want the active call or media to be transferred to it automatically. Instead of now I am having to go in and switch profiles, or even disconnect one of the two devices.
[*]So I don't think it's a hardware limitation.
Yeah I am starting to think it's software implemented like you said. Do you think otherwise now?
[*]With Android Oreo (I use ver 8.1) I now have the ability to set the AVRCP version to 1.6 (insted of 1.4)
Not sure what AVRCP is, but does it change anything for you with using 2 bluetooth devices though?
[*]BTW, if it help, android P should bring us the ability to connect to 5 devices!

Good to know ! but I can't even connect to 2 devices at the same time ! Does android P do this?

Ah, so wait? It is a hardware limitation then???
Thanks so much for your help

It has been a mini rollercoaster.
To make a long story short:
Right now, with Android 8.1
The mi6 operates just like your 'old' phone.
Not like the s8.
Why is this like this? Is it hardware? Is it software?
I have no idea.
As of right now, I found that a ZTE axon m is supposed the have the same "dual audio" as the s8.
If it's really the case, then it should be a matter of software.
I've downloaded the axon m kernel and in the few days will poke around when I'll have a time away from work.
I've also heard that the LG v30 have dual audio, but haven't looked into it.
If you need to buy a new phone NOW, and you MUST have that ability, then the MI6 is a no go.
This could be a nice project, but like everything here on XDA...I can't give an ETA.

Thanks for the help! For the sake of being clear.... "dual audio" is not the same thing as having multiple Bluetooth devices *connected* simultaneously. "Dual audio" is what Samsung named the feature which streams audio to 2 devices simultaneously. I'm not sure if this is a Samsung thing or not. hopefully you understood what I meant earlier, which it seemed like you did . I don't need audio played on both. I just want to swap between the 2 with the push of a button on the device itself.
The Dual Audio feature has been released with the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ & Note8. When two devices are connected via Bluetooth at the same time, the Dual audio feature allows the user to play sound on both devices.

I planned on buying the new Xiaomi Mi 7 when it comes out, but the rumored specs show that it has the exact something Bluetooth features as the previous gen which is why I asked here
Thanks again.
