Hi All,
Since the 11500 firmware update my UK unbranded Lumia 800 connects and disconnects from my MB car kit every 60/90 seconds, unless I am actively using it through a call/BT streaming.
I have connected an iPhone 4S with no issues, and a Nexus S. I can see a few people have had issues online, just wondering if anyone on here had seen anything similar? Almost looks like some kind of power management kicking in...over and over.
I am currently running 8107.12070, any pointers appriciated
Paul
Is your phone fully charged? I wonder if the power management is kicking in because of low power?
Do you see the same issue even when the phone is connected to the charger in the car?
Do you have any other BT devices (handsfree earpiece perhaps) that you can test your phone with (just to figure out if the problem is with the phone?)
(FWIW, my Lumia 800 seems to be working ok with my car even after the recent firmware update 12070 - and was working ok before that too)

Hello guys,
I've been having some issues with the controls on the In-Ear Earphones with both the Nokia's Original Earphones and the Monster Purity. The device simply doesn't always react on the pressed key. I sometimes need to press the middle button on the Purity few times for the song to Pause or Resume. Same issues I experienced with the original Nokia's Earphones. I've been using several Nokia Lumia 800 devices and I experienced same issue on all of them. Does anyone know more about these issues?
Best Regards,
Dani
This I'm very interested, too.

I have the exact same issue. I usually take a deep breath, press again, and often it works.
Notice the problem most on the play/pause middle button. Volume controls seem to work well enough.
I'm thinking earbud companies are still catching up to WP7 type phones - all the earbuds with controls like this on the market more often than not are made for iPhone. They all seem to leave Android and WP7 out in the cold
This shouldn't be true. We didn't buy a Headset from a third-party company and Hoping the headset will work on our phones. These Headsets, wether the one that came with Lumia or Purity by Monster which Nokia actually had influence on, are both ment to be working semeless. I could never expect myself questioning the compatibility support in this case, but what I actually see is some kind of driver software malfunction. Try to plug-in the jack very slowly, the headset won't get detected at all, on the other side, try to plug it in fast, the headset get detected but the controls don't always work as I posted before.
I don't yet own Nokia Purity headphones, but I have been using the ones that came with my Lumia 800 and I've also found erratic behaviour (mostly pausing instead of skipping or not responding at all).
On further testing, I've found that:
- Controls work without flaw, even recognizing clunky presses, WHENEVER THE SCREEN IS ON, regardless if the phone is locked or not.
- Turn the screen off, though, and everything goes haywire.
This has also been pointed out by other users:
http://discussions.nokia.com.ph/t5/...umia-900-is/m-p/1377613/highlight/true#M11647
Also, as pointed out by several users, the problem doesn't seem to change form phone to phone (even existing in different versios, 800 and 900).
Could this be a firmware issue? It can't be the headphones themselves, as they work fine with the screen on!
How should we proceed? What is the best way to communicate with Nokia?

The post on the Nokia forum states they do not work reliably if the screen is switched off AND locked. Can someone confirm if they work with the screen off but not locked (i.e. no PIN required).
Nokia have uncharacteristically given no assurances that this is either being worked on or even recognised as a problem!!
I wonder if this is really the end of Nokia? Quality and customer support is what they are known for, if they can't get their own equipment with their partners working together at a basic level what hope do they have of gaining customer trust?
I have noticed that android device earbuds and controls work kosher with my Lumia 800.
I have tried using the stock Samsung note earbuds and Beats for HTC.
Both of them work pretty well with WP and the next and previous controls function as volume controls.
Hey guys I bought a new head unit for my car an Alpine CDE-133BT and for some reason when i try to stream music from it, it wont see it, i dont know weather if its the headunit or the phone. I used my moms Dash 3G and that worked flawlessly with no problems at all. I am currently running ICS EnergyROM. If anybody has any related problems with the same unit or ICS problem, help a brother out =]. Thanks
I'm running the same rom and i've noticed that when my bluetooth is paired to my pioneer deck and the deck is switched off and the phone disconnects, the phone becomes non responsive.
The screen does not respond to any buttons, just remains off...a battery pull usually fixes it though.
I wonder if its ics or the radio because I updated it to R2 hmm
update: called the guy from alpine and he said that the best way to prevent this is to go to another source on the unit wait about 30 seconds or so and it will work. The reason is because the phone is trying to automatically connect to the head unit so it gives it time to refresh and pick up the device tried it multiple times with the car on and start position works perfectly yeeee =], includes all devices not just HTC
Hi,
For about a year I have used my GS2 with a Plantronics Savi Go bluetooth headset - I normally leave the phone in its desk cradle and use MyPhoneExplorer to make/answer all my calls and send text messages (I work in a small office with no wired phone at my desk and I sent at least 500 texts/day to coordinate teams working in the field.)
Recently - after returning from a trip - I noticed that the phone and headset would not work together at all if the wifi on the phone was enabled - the headset would connect to the phone and the first 10 seconds or so of every call would be OK, but the level of interference (as heard on the headset) would increase and increase and the headset would inevitably disconnect after about 20 seconds.
With wifi disabled on the phone this does not occur.
The headset works fine with another phone and also connects fine to its Plantronics USB adapter. This headset is designed to remain connected to two devices at once (intended to be the USB adapter and a phone) so you can make calls from either Skype/a voip app or your phone without having to change anything.
I have dropped the phone about a hundred times so I changed the aerial/loudspeaker module (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300715915473) but the interference still occurs.
Is there any way this could be a software issue? I hate updating as I have custom density and all sorts of other settings so my phone is still on the same android 2.3.3 stock ROM that it came with - I have also removed all the Samsung customisations and KIES etc so updating is a pain.
My opinion is that there is no way this could be a software issue and that, as the antenna replacement has not solved the problem, there's probably a hardware problem and I should just toss it and get a Note or another GS2.
However, thinking about it more - the bluetooth and wifi transmitters share the same antenna? Is there any software cooperation to make sure these devices don't try and transmit at the same time or is there hardware gating? Are there filters designed to stop the bluetooth transmitter transmitting directly 'into' the wifi receiver (as they both share the same aerial which is used both for transmit/receive) and are they software or hardware?
My thoughts are definitely hardware but I would welcome the opinions of anyone that really knows how the two transmitters/receivers are meant to work together.
Thanks!
Hi all,
i use my Z5 Compact for tracking my run with an Android Wear device (LG G Watch R)
I have several problems with Bluetooth. It works for some secs, then crash. After a min re-start works and reconnect....and so on..
When i use a cardio strip also the hr disconnects.
This is a video of the problem:
youtube. com/watch?v=YgA45nP8Nk4
Can you help me? I'v yet Hard reset it 3 times.
Thanks to all
I cannot offer help unfortunately but I am seeing similar things. And I am starting to think (hope, even) it is software.
My Jawbone UP3 disconnects continually and getting a reconnection is very hard, often involving a band reboot. I also have 4 TrackR tags which are randomly but frequently showing a re-paired message (smart lock device) in the status bar for no reason at all.
I've a Pebble Time but that has not been connected too much and seems ok, equally my Jawbone Jambox and MDR-XB950BT Sony headphones have been working without issue.
Possibly then it is only Bluetooth LE that is an issue (your fitness tracker would be that) and the three working devices are regular BT connections.
With luck this is something then that a firmware update will address. I hope so, because I'm bloody sick of buying broken hardware.
I use Bluetooth at various times throughout the day. I've never had a single problem with it! I am communicating with cars and obd2 systems though not low powered items like watches and headphones. Fwiw I'm on .152 firmware.
I am having massive Bluetooth Low Energy issues, I came to post about it but will do so here.
I have the E5823 unlocked in White. Android 6.0 although this started with 5.1. 32.1.A.1.163.
Basically I am concluding BLE is totally screwed on this phone, and I was about to send it back but realise the number of other BT issues people are having means it is likely not hardware on this one unit so perhaps software resolvable.
Jawbone UP3 loses connection continually, it occasionally connects and syncs, but I cannot force this.
TrackR Bravo tags work on occasion, frequently disconnected and randomly 're-pair' to the phone with no interaction (new BT device notification all the time)
Tile same thing.
Parrot Minidrone cannot be seen by the phone most of the time, it works on occasion.
All these devices are Bluetooth Low Energy. On the other side I have a Jawbone Jambox, Sony MDR-XB950BT headphones and Onkyo-NR626 Amplifier with regular old Bluetooth and all of these work, A2DP, atpX.
The only difference I noticed with 6.0 vs 5.1 is that TrackR can now tell the range by signal strength, something that always worked on the LG G4 Android 5.1 and 6.0. So I think the z5c started with issues and has not exactly improved.
Saying this there are known bugs in Android 6.0 and BLE, solved in 6.0.1. But right now I am super angry that yet another phone I buy is broken out the box. It never ends.
had BT issues, using a smartwatch (LG W100 G Watch).. but it was more frequent when used in combo with other accessories.
updating and restoring to MM 6.0 solved any issue.. so i managed to get well working, at the same time, smartwatch, cardio band, earphones and cadence/speed sensor (for bike).. all using BT LE..
before restoring and updating i got disconnections and glitchy music
Hi folks,
I've seen a few comments on bluetooth on this phone but not this specific one. I have a Kia Optima with bluetooth and when I get in the car I expect my M20P to auto connect to the head unit. It seems very temperamental though, often not connecting at all. Other times it will connect and then randomly drop connection and reconnect. Has anyone else had this or know what might be causing it?
I'm currently testing if it only connects when I wake / screen on / unlock the device which it seemed to do on my commute this morning, but then a second time it still didn't connect doing the same thing.
I'm also checking with Kia if there is a software update for the head unit but i'm expecting them to blame the phone and Huawei to blame the head unit.
Any help appreciated.
Hi, I am experiencing something very similar. Very bad audio quality during calls, and temperamental connections with Bluetooth - disconnecting and re-connecting.
I haven't been able to find any solution, hoping to awaken this forum.
Same issue here - On 9.0.0.187
Volkswagen Golf 7 2016
Voice sounds like its lagging and like metallic treble
Also i notice with Spotify will streaming music that the display unit is out of sync with what i am listening
It shows the title of the previous song that i have listen not the current one
Did you ever figure this out?
My girlfriend just reported to me that her new 6T is not automatically connecting to her car like her old Android did. It's paired, but she gas to manually connect.
I have audio speeding up and slowing down on my Skoda Citigo bluetooth with Mate 20 Pro, its slightly better than my Galaxy S8 which used to continually drop connection.
9.0.0.266, Very flakey Bluetooth since this update applied. Used to be fine before this, now i get random disconnects from my Galaxy Watch,, by VW headunit in the car, and random drops of audio from my Freebuds 2 Pro.
Starting to get rather annoying
