Hi guys,
I have updated my phone to 5.1.1. However bluetooth uses a lot of battery now. I have removed my added bluetooth devices but that did not help. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Turn bluetooth off when not in use. I put together an Automate flow to turn it off when phone unplugged and no devices are connected.

I actually did that. But found it inconvenient as i do have bluetooth speakers at home and in car. I ended up reseting the phone which ended up fixing the issue.

Interesting. I have reset my phone probably over 20 times this week but always had the BT deep sleep issue until just this morning when I switched to SimplKernel and a different ROM...problem is, GPS isn't working in this ROM. Sigh.

Has anyone had issues with bluetooth phone and media disconnecting randomly with the rezound? I have the rezound paired with my 2011 Acura TL, and I've had it just randomly disconnect 4 or 5 times now. Sometimes just media disconnects, sometimes both, sometimes bluetooth shuts off entirely? Anyone else notice weirdness?
I use a blueant t1. When an incoming call comes in, it is fine. Occasionally, when I make an outgoing call, I have to shut off the blueant and turn it back on to make it work even though it says it is connected.
One time I would turn it on and 3 seconds later it would turn itself off. Reboots or battery pull did not fix. I had to do a factory reset. Verizon said was probably some software I loaded, but I have since restored all the same apps and happened once for like 10 minutes, but never again. I looked and it was in performance mode too. Otherwise, I have had mine disconnect but never during a call, maybe only once. I also have an issue with it coming into the middle of a sentance during navigation if using my bluetooth speaker. It works fine without the bluetooth, but not with it.
I don't think so. I used it in my car for 2.5-3 hour trips over the holidays and it has been solid. Used it for calls and streaming music from my phone and mostly streaming podcasts from internet.
I could swear I read something about someone having disconnect problems in his car but I searched and couldn't find it. Something about it disconnecting in his car when he held it a certain way.

Thanks. I'll try that out. I always have it in my inside jacket pocket in the car, so it's definitely not the way I'm holding it.
I rarely use the phone over bluetooth, but loves me some A2DP.
I noticed that my NT seems to emit a faint "clicking" noise every few seconds when the tablet is on but in sleep mode.
Anybody else experiencing this?
Does not seem to happen while the screen is on, only when the screen is off. Also seems to disappear when WIFI is turned off.
Just wondering if somebody can check their NT and see if they hear the same thing... need reasonably quiet surroundings.
Now that you mention it, I have also noticed that. I believe I was running stock 1.4.1 at the time. Currently back on 1.4.0 and I haven't heard it...
Thanks for the info, I am on 1.4.1 myself (out of the box). I'll wait in hope for some more feedback and if it seems to be the case, I'll drop down to 1.4.0.
Haven't heard it but it could very likely be a B&N program that is running in the background. Perhaps it has something to do with the 1.4.1 update and the frequency of the wi-fi checking for updates?
Actually, I need to retract my earlier statement. I was just listening to music so I had my headphones in. Sure enough, when I kicked it into standby, the clicking came back.
Going back to 1.4.0 does not solve the issue.
My OTA timer is disabled...
So that makes two cases now... I am wondering if all NT's are doing this. I kinda PO'd I just got my Otterbox and spent great effort getting my screen protector on nearly perfect.
Never heard this before because my NT's speaker sat flat on whatever it was sleeping on. But the Otterbox elevates it, so I started hearing the clicking when it was sleeping on the table beside me.
If it's a common bug on all NT's... hopefully CM7 will resolve it!
Ok I am hearing it and it is not a constant click either its quite random for me. But I am not going to let it bother me at all to be honest.
I haven't heard anything like that with mine I'm running CM7 and i get a slight pop in my earphones when audio kicks in but nothing major.
Probably because CM7 has different WiFi settings... it's definitely tied to the WiFi. AdamOutler suggested tweaking the Wifi .INI file and it has made the clicks more apparent (it's the WiFi kicking in and out).
Hopefully he can find the way to get it to sleep properly... and thus save battery!
Rooted 1.40 and I have not noticed any clicks.

Bill, if you can try plugging in some headphones and then going into standby/sleep... the clicks are more pronounced through headphones.
I noticed the click as well, this also happens to my PC LG monitor and my LG Optimus 2x when using the headphones.

No, only when I press wake up button or when the sound stop/begins.
I'm not sure, but maybe it's the headphones? Too much coincidence to happen on 3 different devices here.
I user Razer Moray earphones, it has noise canceling something built in, maybe this is the culprit. I have other Philips earphones laying around, I'll test them on the tablet to see if this happens too.
Hi I am rooted...not running the CM7 yet...but I have noticed it when I have the the sound muted and I am playing words with friends. This was also doing it before I was rooted as well. I have not noticed it sleep mode. this only happens though for me when I have all sounds and notifications muted.

Put the tablet into sleep/standby mode (using short power button press) with WiFi on and no music playing and see if you get the click every few seconds.

No clicks on sleep/standby mode under these conditions.
Either it's a problem on some NT's or not everybody has good ears.
hmm ok now I am not getting the clicking and I have not changed any of the settings or anything on the tablet. So I do not know how it vanished but it has for now.
Rooted 1.4.0 and I hear the clicking with either headphones or if I plug it into an external speaker.
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?

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.
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 bought a g5, and I'm loving it so far. Except for 2 things:
A. I seem to have received a bad battery with my phone, as it doesn't charge all the way on a non quick charge charger, and if I reboot, I lose about 10-20% battery regularly.
B. If I use my Bluetooth headphones (Sony mdr-zx770bn) in a2dp mode, I get random skips and drops of signal. Very annoying when listening to music. This happens with both my headphones and my Bluetooth car stereo. It's not location based, as it happens at work and at home.
I think I may have got a bad phone, because when it drops the Bluetooth signal, it drops both wifi and mobile data as well.
Anyone have similar problems or suggestions? I really don't want to have to exchange the phone, because I ordered it online so it'd be a pain to do.
Sounds like you got one of those 1% failures. Better swap it out!
Definitely.....I have same issue with first phone....now on second and evrythig is good

I have similar problem with A2DP streaming - random drops of sound every few minutes. No problem with other sources (I used many other phones before) . Additonally sound (voice) during calls is distored. This is so annoying. Apart from that issues G5 seems to be great phone.
Did you manage to solve the problem? Swap, other way?
