BT keeps stopping - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

I just noticed that phone is not connected to my bmw car kit most of the time, because BT keeps stopping. Now this is a show stopper for me. This seems like yet another cheap Chinese device which has nothing to do with Nokia.

Any other people who have the same problem? I do need BT all day for headset and connection to an OBD-device..

I'm connected all day and night to a Xiaomi Mi-Band 2. BT never disconnects from it.
Also when I'm driving, I connect to a 2nd device which is an MPOW bluetooth receiver connected to the car's aux port. Also never experienced the BT stopping or dropping the devices (2 simultaneously, yes, using Oreo beta).
Dunno if this helps or qualifies to compare what you're experiencing.

I experience the same Bluetooth disconnections while using my Parrot carkit. Unusable for now. Running on Nougat oct security update

People report about car connection in other phones too, I think it's might be a OS problem. For me I use bluetooth headphone, never get disconnected. But sometimes have audio drop out when moving.

I have a slightly old ford kit.
Yes Bluetooth on it seems a hit or a miss. Connects and the audio comes for a few seconds and then just stops. Calls or audio just stops to work
I would like to blame the phone since my old Nokia 808 and galaxy S6 work fine but my brother's one plus 3 has the same problem.

Bluetooth audio plays just fine over my Volkswagen stereo BUT the play/pause/skip doesn't work and the song info (metadata) doesn't display.
Really frustrating as it was working so well before on my Huawei P9.
I'm running 7.1.1, really hope Oreo comes quick to fix this ?

This was the not very useful advice from Nokia support.
You may have guessed that it didn't work and I'm back using my Huawei... Looks like this phone will be going back to the seller by the end of the week.
Unless Oreo magically comes to save the day. Anyone want to place a bet?

Nokia implemented Bluetooth version 5 so maybe there is a compatibility issue.

Thanks but it was my understanding that Bluetooth versions are backwards compatible? It's a 2012 car stereo and I've tested 2 other Nougat 7.1.X devices which work perfectly.
Music does play from the Nokia but it's the controls and song info that is missing.
I'm back to using my Huawei P9 as my daily driver because of it

So it seems as if there are mostly problems when running Nougat, while it's working under Oreo.
Will watch this thread before going for a new handset. Quite unsure between Mate 10 non-pro, Nokia 8 and OnePlus 5/5t. Dual-SIM is absolutely necessary for me, in Germany they use band 20 (800 MHz) in many areas. As I'm using a Samsung Gear S3 and that OBD-device in my car and furthermore a BT headset, a bigger battery or more efficient device is what I'm looking for.
Seems as if this is getting hard to decide...
sent directly from my mind using my upper extremities..

I'm seeing issues on Nokia 8 with Ford audio in my van. It's not that it disconnects, but when skipping to next / previous song in Play Music, progress indicator continues to move, but no audio comes out unless turn off Bluetooth and back on. Happens when using onscreen skip button, or steering wheel skip buttons. Same worked fine with Nexus 6.

I am using my Nokia 8 for about a week with Ford Ranger (about one year old) and completely there is no any issues.
Regards

A workaround (of sorts) for me is to cycle through the inputs in the car dash (bluetooth, aux-in, fm1, fm2, dab, then back to Bluetooth) which brings audio back and the skip/next buttons work as intended.
Should also clarify that it is not just Play Music. Same issue in Castbox, so not app specific.

Fired up the Nokia 8 last night and see there's a November security patch being rolled out.
This seems to bring my kernel version up to Nov 9 - hopefully this might have an effect on the Bluetooth compatibility and stability?
Haven't had a chance to test it yet but it's going back on Saturday morning if not fixed...

I have only connection problems with my Parrot 3100 carkit. Connection drops when calling. Bluetooth connection drops randomly. Stays connected when not calling. No issues with other Bluetooth devices.
The November update did not solve the carkit issue. Unfortunately. My hopes are on Oreo..

My problems are still persistent on the new November kernel.
I feel like this will be a forgotten device once the Nokia 9 is released in the New Year...

Would any of these Bluetooth developer options help those having issues?

I believe these are Oreo specific and despite the fact the rollout began yesterday it's yet to hit my phone. Fingers crossed, I've extended Nokia's deadline until Monday ?

Bluetooth Issue

So I paired the One with my QED uPlay at home and I'm having issues. The phone has to literally be 30cm away from the receiver or the audio will start getting distorted until it eventually cuts off. I have two uPlays, issue exists on both so its not tbe receiver. Also my iPhone 4s has no issues either. I was hoping the One had better audio than the iPhone since it has aptx, but its quite the opposite. Has anyone tried bluetooth music streaming? Is it just a faulty phone?

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi both use the 2.4GHz channel. Asus had issues with the Prime because of its all-aluminum design where they had to greatly amplify the Wi-Fi signal and use diversity antennas to get through it. HTC uses the latter on the One. When used together, the Wi-Fi signal can overpower and interfere with the BT signal. Try turning off Wi-Fi and see if your connection quality changes. You're the first one to mention a BT issue so it could be unique to your device. Time will tell.
I have had a problem with bt connecting to my car (audi a1) I can hear the call but the other end cannot hear me. Going to delete connection and try again tomorrow.
Thanks for the replies. I switched off WIFI, re-paired the device and bluetooth started working perfectly, so it makes sense it was interference. Strange thing is I turned WIFI back on and bluetooth was still working fine. I'll do further tests in my car tomorrow see how it goes. If I'm not convinced I'll just get the phone replaced.
I have also had issues with bluetooth paired to my hands free car kit. Issues have surfaced when streaming music and also when making audio calls via bluetooth.

The One X had a similar issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
It could be that when I was first trying the WIFI antenna was stuck on high power, which caused the interference, but when I reset the WIFI it reduced its power and no longer interfered with the BT. I have changed the WIFI at home to run at 5 GHZ, but work still runs on 2.4.

Apparently 1.29.709.4 has been officially released in Taiwan by HTC, so it shouldn't be long before the update arrives to the rest of us (hopefully).
got the same issue...some times I got no lags in audio streaming, but sometimes they are there...until it (maybe) will be fixed I'm using a widget, my cousin has coded for me yesterday . Quite simple solution. If I press the button, wifi turns off and bt turns on...works fine for me, so far

[Q] Anyone else having problems with the 3T and car bluetooth?

Mine stutters when connected to my car's headunit. It's especially bad when in a call. Wasn't a problem with my Note 3 and doesn't happen on other bluetooth devices.
I haven't had any Bluetooth issues other than the fact it eats a lot of my battery throughout the day but that's a usage issue than anything else. I also use Bluetooth in my car while commuting around the city. If the audio stutters, that often means the connection isn't stable therefore move closer or remove anything in between.
Does playing a track before the Bluetooth connection is established make a difference?

Not really. It cuts off for a second every minute or so. The phone is right in front of the headunit so i dont think distance os the problem. The case is plastic so that shouldn't be causing interference also.

I'm having the same issue with Bluetooth not connecting/cutting out when it does.
OnePlus 3T
Android: 7.0
OOS: 4.0.2
Car is a 2016 BMW 328i
Not a problem on my Optima. I actually had to tune it with an equalizer app because stock equalizer raises the Treble louder then the bass. All normal now but not cutting. Had problem connecting phone automatically for a few days but went away

Use my device with a set off speakers and to connect to my in car audio system and I don't experience the problems you have, sometimes I need to stop and start my music a couple of times whilst it reconnects again if I move between devices but after that it stays connected and working.
my phone has trust issues with my car. it always requires a re-pairing whenever I try to establish a connection (means, whenever I enter the car, and try to connect, it requires me to pair the same phone again)
Working perfectly with my car. Maybe updating car stereo firmware could help?
I will try to see if there is an update for the car master today (their site seems to be down atm). I have had it work at times but it usually has issues connecting and will stop/pause sometimes out of nowhere. It's really difficult because I need a Bluetooth connection when driving but it gets to the point that I need to forget and repair my phone everytime I drive....
I just got my my OP 3T . I had issues with it connecting to my VW Passat. Then I read the following at the car's BT manufacturer's FAQ
Some versions of Android use a deviate pairing method. This can cause the problem of a failing connection. The solution is the free tool Bluetooth File Transfer (Android) for a better Bluetooth connection. It is available at Google Play. Establish the pairing once with this app and from then, everything should work as normal.
So after this app connected for the first time to the car's unit, the phones own BT software also started connecting without problems when I turned the car off and on subsequent times.
Might be worth a try.

T-MOBILE LG G6 Bluetooth issues

Hello I am on the latest e update from T-Mobile and have noticed in my cars Bluetooth when I stream music it seems to have popping noises that seems to be like it's having a hard time keeping up with the stream. I also noticed with audio from videos played through my car has an aweful sync delay. I have a 2017 Ford with Sync3. I have no issues with my older Nexus 6p or GS 7.
Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if I have a defective unit.

I have the same problem with the new update connecting to my 2017 Ford Escape. I found a work around, though. If I disconnect and then reconnect to the car's Bluetooth, the skipping goes away. No idea why this would happen, but hopefully the next update fixes it. I don't want to do this every time I get in my car!
Edit: Also, I'm 90% sure I didn't​ have this problem before the update.
I hope so too. I have factory reset and turned battery optimization off all Bluetooth apps too. Also I had all the new play store updates. And when I factory reset I lost them all. Seems like the updates tab and filter options were on then gone after reset. ?

Which version of Bluetooth are your devices/car bluetooth connections utilizing? Just curious.
My stereo headphones use 4.0 (Jabra Move), but I haven't noticed any issue yet with high CPU usage, battery drain, quality issues, etc. I've had it on when out in case a call comes in.

Bluetooth Issues
Hi, I have been having bluetooth issues with this phone since day one. It does not happen with all bluetooth devices but it definitely happens with my Pioneer Head unit in the car. Sometimes it also depends on the application used. The strange this is that it does not happen all the time, but when it does it happens frequently. I also noticed that the headunit will get stuck in voice command mode after using voice command, also the phone will answer calls by itself even though this feature is turned off in the settings. The message is "Bluetooth device has stopped working". This obviously did not happen with my G4. I have cleared Cache and all bluetooth devices, and have also cleared them on th Head Unit. I do have another Pioneer head unit in another vehicle, different model and it does the same thing. I have seen many people reporting issues with car units in other vehicles.
Hoping for a quick update, I know weird things are bound to happen with new phones. I really like the phone, this is the only real anoying issue.
I think the issue is more so bluetooth than anything else. Bluetooth never was, and likely never will be, a truly reliable data transfer protocol.
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
I think the issue has to do with device incompatibilities. Every phone I have had, I see reports of BT problems that I just don't experience. Hooks up to the car in a flash. Works with both my bt headphones and soundbar for my tv.
My car is a nissan maxima.
I have had g2, g3, g4, nexus 6p , g5 and now g6. The nexus was the worst for my devices. It worked, but getting connected took longer.
Possibly The Music App Being Used
I don't have a ford like allot of you guys replying in the thread, however I have noticed that specifically "Google Play Music" will have an issue on any bluetooth device; where if you have a widget of the player on the phone, and you have listened to music using the app BEFORE you connected to the vehicle, when trying to play from where you were in the song, it will pop and skip around. The only way to fix this easily is to pause the song, clear the app out of recents and re open the app and play. Hope this helps some of you.
I have also noticed this with my G6. I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu and use Google Play Music, streaming through T-Mobile. I have no issues streaming music to the same car with GPM through my Samsung GS7. I noticed someone mention disconnecting then reconnecting bluetooth, so I will give that a shot. Still frustrating, and I am hoping that LG will be able to come up with a software fix.
My G6 Bluetooth crashes every time its connected to my car "Bluetooth crash". It doesn't matter which app I use, it disconnects every 5 seconds. The rest of my phones connect without a problem to my Honda Accord. Even my fiance's G6 connects without an issue. I believe I got a bad unit, will return for another one and see what happens.
There were a ton of Bluetooth issues in 7.0. I had them on my Pixel XL. It really sucks that LG didn't ship the G6 with 7.1. Hopefully they implement the Bluetooth patches in 7.1. I can't get my Dodge truck to display Google Play Music metadata with my G6. My Pixel XL displays the metadata just fine. The G6 does display Google Play Music metadata in my Ford Explorer though.
I'm getting noticeable static when using Pandora via Bluetooth with my 2016 Subaru, but it's an improvement over my OnePlus 3T that wouldn't even allow media playback via Bluetooth with my car.

Hi Yes I am having a similar issue with my lg g6. I am also on tmobile. The sound randomly about 1-2 times during the song just starts to sound terrible (like FM quality). It does have a bit of a static/popping nosie, this happens for a few seconds for me and then goes back to sounding normal.

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately it didn't work.
I tried wiping my phone clean but it seems that after the LG Android Updates it starting acting worse. GPM does not help either.
I've tried everything, reset network, clearing all Bluetooth data, safe mode, even restarted my car's audio system. Brand new LG G6, not a day old and it doesn't connect to car, only call audio connects but not the media. Works fine with portable speakers but keeps disconnecting every ten seconds in car.

Nokia 8 Bluetooth unusable with Airpods. Anyone else?

Just to open with this - I really like this phone and have been enjoying using it. Aside from the fairly poor WiFi range and the flaky NFC it is otherwise a really nice phone. There's just one other issue I have which is extremely frustrating:
I can't use it with my Airpods. Or at least, I can connect it but at some point the sound will crackle and cut off. If I wait it will occasionally crackle and come back on again but will cut in and out in a way that would drive anyone mad. I've tried fiddling with Bluetooth settings in developer options but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I've even tried a factory reset.
The Airpods work absolutely perfectly with every other device - no issues with the iPhone (expectedly) nor the S8, G6 or even my laptop. I can't 100% rule out a fault with the Airpods but given these facts it seems highly unlikely.
I wondered if anyone else used Airpods and had experienced issues and found a solution.
Not too interested if you've had no issues with your device, nor what you think of Airpods - I just want to see if I can get to the bottom of this, or the Nokia will have to go back.
Many thanks
Similar problem
Got a similar problem with my apt-x receiver.
Every few minutes the connection drops for a very short time.
The airpods don't support apt-x, but maybe it's the same problem.
My receiver shows a connection via apt-x, , but you can't find any apt-x support in the Nokia 8 specs.
But I had no problems with a friends portable speaker (non-apt-x).
I went back to cables

I’m wondering if the Nokia 8 just has rubbish connectivity, generally. If the Bluetooth chip is part of the WiFi chip then this would figure as it has the worst WiFi connectivity I’ve seen in recent years
Are you running Nougat or Oreo? From what I've heard, a lot of the bluetooth issues have been fixed in Oreo.

I wonder if yours is wonky, my Wi-Fi is excellent and i get get 75Mbit down 19Mbit up over 5Ghz through 2 brick walls, a floor up and at the opposite end of the house, i have not missed any payments using contactless via NFC and Bluetooth works fine via an Anker Bluetooth speaker and my JBL Bluetooth headphones.
Sorry for digging an old thread, but I still have the same problem even after a bunch of software updates.
My issue with the AirPods is that they do not work after they connect. I take them out of the case, they connect (as expected), but as soon as I start playing something the music/video pauses and the sound switches to speaker (if I press play again it plays out loud). To make them work I need to go to bluetooth settings, disconnect them and connect them again. Then they will work almost flawlessy (minor intrerruption from time to time).
I have no issue with other BT speakers. I also use the AirPods with an iPad and laptop and no issues there.
My Nokia 8 software is up to date. AirPods firmware the same (checked on the iPad).
I tried re-pairing after each software update. I tried changin BT settings (absolute volume - dev settings; contact sharing and HD Audio: AAC) but no improvements.
Any ideas what else can I try?
Search for Oreo and Bluetooth problems. It seams to be a general issue for this Android Version. I have problems connecting my Phone with the car, too.

Android 10 upgrade causes problem with car handsfree

I have updated my phone to android 10 and everything went great, it worked fine and I was pretty happy.
I drive Hyundai Tucson 2017 and using phone (via bluetooth) in the car was great, but since my upgrade there is no sound from the phone (any sound, playing music or phone call) and I can't answer or make the call from the car, phone is pretty useless in the car now (or car is pretty useless with the phone now).
I deleted bluetooth device, and connected fresh and it didn't help. Is there any option I should check? I spent an hour looking through settings and couldn't find anything related. What are other options? Going back to android 9? Hopefully not. Just don't tell me to go to car dealer and ask them to update firmware, I would rather kill myself
I don't have 10 yet so take that for what it's worth.
Do you have a bluetooth speaker or headset you can pair with and see if it works then?
When I do get 10 I'll try with wife's 2017 Sorento, I believe KIA and Hyundai use very similar head unit software and hardware (assuming your trim is the same).

Hrm. My next suggestion would be a factory reset - a bit drastic but often helps when there's been a major update. If you do this just make sure you back things up first.
Otherwise I have not heard any other issues on the Lenovo/Motorola forums nor Reddit with this issue.
