Hello everyone,
My girlfriend has recently bought a Jiayu G5 since she needed a new phone, and I have had a great experience so far with my G3S.
She has been using the phone for about two weeks now, and it is excellent, but it does have one very annoying bug with the bluetooth. She has a pebble smart-watch she connects it to using bluetooth, and this works as it should. The problem starts when the watch has been out of range of the phone. Once it disconnects, you have to turn bluetooth off an back on for the connection to be picked up again (I think this is due to the pebble-app on the phone). However, once you turn bluetooth off, it will not turn back on. You have to reboot the phone. After the reboot it works again as it's supposed to work, until you turn the blueooth off for whatever reason,then it won't turn back on. When you tap the switch, it turns on for like a tenth of a second, and it goes straight back to off.
The G5 is running the Jiayu.es-rom because we don't speak chinese
This is android 4.2.1, pretty much vanilla android so far as I can see.
Does anybody have any clue as to what might be the cause of it?
Thanks!

Not sure if it's my phone or my headset. Occasionally while talking the headset will tell me it's out of range and then reconnect (the phone is usually in my pocket or hand). I'll miss about 10-15sec of the conversation. Sometimes it'll do it repeatedly other times not as often. I don't have another Bluetooth headset to test with. I've had the headset about 8mths and this started happening about a month ago.
Any ideas?

I have the exact same headset and I have never had that problem. I'm on the slimkat weekly 2560. It doesn't even start cutting out until I'm half way across my house.

K. Thanks. I'll look into a warranty claim.
Anyone know how/if different radios could affect this?

Hi,
I would like to share an interesting observation I have also made about Bluetooth disconnections with phone in the pocket.
1) When the phone is in my shirt pocket, and I turn my head to its extreme, sometimes (not always), the connectivity gets disrupted. but unlike your experience, this is only for a secong, and as soon as I turn my head back to normal viewing angles, its ok.
2) with phone in trouser pocket, if I place my hand over the phone same disconet happens depending on which part of the phone gets covered.
Based on these two observations, and knowing that Bluetooth is a short range , line of sight connection, there is something in the materials your clothes include that probably inhibit the line of sight connectivity.
Hope that helps in understanding the momentary loss of BT connection, but not for a 15 seconds like you seem to be experiencing.
cheers

Bluetooth car audio disconnect and connect in cycle
I am experiencing similar issue with bluetooth audio calls in my car. I tried two separate KitKat roms (PSX & Beanstalk 4.4.225) and in both versions, phone bluetooth disconnected and reconnected, it seems like 20 seconds cycle. It would drop for about 5 seconds. I noticed the first it dropped was when the screen turned off. It is impossible to carry on a conversation as it would constantly connect and disconnect. Is this an issue with every kitkat rom?
I have E970.

It must be a KitKat related issue because I didn't have the issue on JB (SlimBean). Thought it may have something to do with the radios. It's intermittent which is a blessing and a curse. I can go a week or two with no issue...then multiple times on a one call (I could put the phone down and make a sandwich if mom is talking...she'd not notice...thus a great tester for this kinda stuff)
I've tried several (if not all) KK radios...no noticeable impact on this issue.
I'm also on the e970.
Note: I'm not losing connection for 15 sec. The headset says 'out of range' then immediately 'connecting'...but it takes time to reconnect and get the phone conversation back. I usually power cycle the headset since it seems more likely to be stable...otherwise it's likely to disconnects/reconnects over and over and over.

Yes, this really seems to be KitKat issue. I installed ParanoidAndroid and it was somewhat better in a sense, it didn't disconnect/connect as often. I do think, bluetooth gets killed when the screen is turned off and then gets turned back on. I can provide with a log file if someone has any ideas on this issue. Definitely I do want to drive handsfree.

Well, I think it may not be kk problem after all because I installed CyanogenMod version 11-20140225-nightly-e970 and I did not experience any issues so far. I will update if I encounter this issue in future.
When I had installed paranoidandroid beta 6, I did not have to install any radios either but still had issue.
For CM11, I did not have to flash any radios either and it is working without any issues till now.
Hi, I just purchased this tablet and am liking it enough, except for a couple quirks.
1) When I deactivate bluetooth, it never holds that way, and will somehow reactivate bluetooth.
2) The daydream/screensaver thing that turns on when charging the tablet. Daydream is off but I cannot figure out how to deactivate whatever this thing is.
Thanks
Anyone experiencing coverage issues with a bluetooth headset? I have read that there are issues with bluetooth and automobiles, but hadn't seen anyone have any issues with headsets. I have a Sony SBH-80 and when device is in my pocket, I have breakup. When I reboot, it temporarily works great, but slowly degrades again. It used to be only my back pocket, now even it it's in my front pocket I have issues. I did not have this issue with my G4. Oh, and I'm only 5' 7", so it's not like it is a great distance between my headset and my phone!
I just bought the v10 two days ago and I'm experiencing this problem as well. I listen to podcasts while asset work, and when the phone's in my pocket, the signal constantly breaks up. But if it's on the table in front of me or in my hand, it's fine. Very frustrating. Hopefully LG will address the issue in an update soon.

I wonder if its the headset or the phone? I believe it must be the phone, because past LG phones had bluetooth issues, and I've read where people with this phone are having bt issues with their cars, so I hope that's it. I love the headset - tremendous sound for a bt and awesome battery life!
Just noticed - I gave you your first "Thanks"!

Good point. I'm almost positive it's an issue with the phone because I've used the same bt headset (Samsung HM3300) with my HTC One and LG G4 (this is my third HM3300. I keep losing them lol so the one I'm using is actually almost new).
Whether it's this specific phone or actually the V10 model, I can't tell, but I'm leaning towards the latter. Not sure it's worth exchanging the phone since I've spent hours setting it up already lol. But maybe I'll get to the point where I can't take it any more because I rely heavily on using my bt headset.
Actually between these posts, I plugged in my charger and walked 15 feet away and my bt signal was fine. But as soon as it goes in my pocket, the signal gets choppy. I dunno.
Thanks for my first like! ?
I also have a Sony SBH-80 headset and it worked with no problems connected to my Note 4. I just got my V10 on 11/1 and have had several issues with my SBH-80 connected. Sometimes when talking through my headset voices sound "electronic" and I cannot even get the phone to show disconnected from the headset when the headset is turned off. I also cannot manually disconnect. I have to reboot the phone. I'm not sure when is going on here but its about to drive me crazy. I also have a pair of LG Infinims that I have not yet paired. I am going to par them tomorrow and see if I have the same issue but I like my SBH-80s much better and hope that LG fixes the issue. Hopefully they will roll out an update to fix the bluetooth issues that I have been reading about in the forums.

I have HBS-730, and I've had some luck rotating the phone 180 degrees in the pocket - upside down. The way I see it, it brings the sensor ~15 centimeters closer to the ears. If that does not help, usually restarting the headset helps.
And I just got this new phone too.....
Well...this is disappointing. After reading thru this thread and others, I can now confirm that it definitely is my new LG V10 having BlueTooth Connectivity Issues. I paired it to my Samsung Level BT headset and when I put my V10 in my back pocket, my front pocket or my jacket pocket, the sound begins to Sputter and Crackle and Pop. When I take the V10 out of my pocket and hold it in my hand, the audio plays just fine. It's winter time in NYC and I cannot walk these streets holding my phone in my exposed hands to hear my music clearly. Really upset now with this LG V10....and I was just beginning to settle in with it too. I did a little research and found a possible solution. I intend to test it on my subway ride to work....
How to fix LG V10 Bluetooth issues:
Turn on the LG V10
Go to home screen and select the app icon
Then select on the settings icon
Browse for the Application Manager
Display All Tabs by swiping either right or left
Select on Bluetooth
Select to stop it forcefully.
Now clear the cache
Select clear the Bluetooth data
Select Ok
Finally restart the LG V10
If the steps above don’t work, try performing a wipe cache partition on your LG V10. After that, try to connect the LG V10 with another Bluetooth device in range and it should work. These instructions should be able to solve any Bluetooth problems you have on your LG V10.
And here's the link to the Wipe Cache Partition incase the the BT Fix didn't work:

Happens with my Earpiece also. Gonna try above. Thanks
So, I have my Moto Z, I love it. But I have a rather horrible problem. If I connect my Asus Zenwatch 2 to my Moto Z, I get periodic, but frequent reboots. Probably about 2-3 times a day, as well as excessive battery use out of bluetooth.
Both watch and phone are stock, I've performed full wipes on both, but it doesn't seem to help. Ideas?
This may or may not help but I have the same combination Moto Z Droid and the Zenwatch2. I was having a frequent problem where my phone and watch would disconnect from each other and need to be paired again numerous times a day-usually when I walked away from my phone but sometimes with the phone in my pocket. That problem was corrected by going to Settings>Bluetooth>Asus Zenwatch 'wheel' icon and then unchecking the use for Phone Audio box. My guess is that disabling that would make it so I cant talk to somebody through my watch but I don't do that anyway and doing this worked for me. Some of the people running the Motorola forum have also recommended going to Setting>Location and turning off Bluetooth Scanning which can be done from the 3 dots upper right. Maybe one of these can help
Not the problem, if they're disconnecting it would be odd. It's most annoying as frequently it reboots while in my pocket and I don't notice, and because my phone is encrypted I basically go hours at a time without my phone functioning because it won't finish booting until I enter my password
Hey all - I've started having some issues with my LG G5 (Verizon)... looking for suggestions:
I get dropped off my home WiFi network after the device wakes up. Basically, wake it up, starting using the network, a few seconds later you get kicked off the network, wait a minute and it will auto reconnect. Disastrous? No... but incredibly annoying. My network is 5GHz with beam forming - and this is the only device it's happening to so I have little reason to suspect it's the router.
Nothing connects automatically to bluetooth anymore. I haven't had hands free connection to my truck in months unless I turn bluetooth off, then turn it back on again while driving. My bluetooth headphones require the same steps to get connected. It's crazy annoying.
I'm honestly at the point that I would rather just replace the phone with something else. My G3 was a rock star - I regret ever upgrading to a G5.
