Today's update to QPT1A ruined my bluetooth - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

I woke up this morning to a message on my phone I needed an update. I ended up with Build QP1A.
Now my phone can't find any bluetooth devices. It can't find either my Samsung watch or my Samsung buds.

Phone restart solved it.

HTC Mozart bluetooth causing reboots

Hi
I have had my mozart for about 6 weeks, and been using it in the car with my BMW Bluetooth.
3 days ago, the phone must have re-booted 20times in one hour while in the car. I turned off bluetooth on the phone. The phone stopped re-booting
I am not the only one with this issue. My boss has the same issue and she has a Jag.
I cannot find anything on this!
has no one else seen this!?
i use a sony hands free kit via bluetooth and im finding that once i disconnect and try to make a call, the person im calling cant hear me. but once i resart the phone its fine. im guessing this is a bug that may get fixed when the update comes out. hopefully you may find the same.

no problem whatsover in bluettoth, using parrot handsfree kit in my car and MW600 for rest
Same with Opel Astra. It was working fine for one week but now it keeps restarting.
Info
I just dig for some info. It seems that the phone is rebooting when the car try to synchronise the phone book. Just turn off this featuer from the car bluetooth menu.

Issues with bluetooth via car/hands free

It's paired but it seems like the connection drops in and out, it won't let me make a call.
Hero was working perfectly....ideas?
mine works perfectly in my car, on my head set and my stereo headset
yes, that is a software issue mostly, should be fixed with the next firmware update..
try to play with the settings also.
I haven't done the ota update yet in fear it could prevent rooting. Hmmm, need this to work

i updated mine, maybe that's the fix you're looking for
Can anyone else verify that it didn't work before the update? I might just go a few days without hands free in the car and monitor the s-off thread in development.
Gonna go play with it some more too...will report

I can almost guarantee whoever is rooting this thing shifted their focus to the latest update.
Whatever version is settled upon w/o another OTA will be our rooted firmware. You're ok to update.
Sprint probably had the updates rollout like to throw the developers off anyway.
What kind of car? I have an Infiniti G37, and my Hero would not work after the 2.1 update. I'm hoping the E3D works fine.
hope this works ok in my new truck..ill be mad since my old phone im replacing restarts everytime i connect via bt
Chevy Cruze, the bluetooth wasn't working again this morning on my way to work. I haven't accepted the OTA updates yet. Also this is not a user error, its a connection issues with the phone itself. The phone is paired but will not keep a connection with the car.
Still debating OTA updates...
Edit: My hero worked in the Cruze with Aosp 2.2 and 2.3.4 - I didn't have the car before then.
@op, do you have WiFi on?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
No, WiFi was off.
I tried with WiFi on...no difference. Anyone else driving a cruze that can confirm this happened before but not after the OTA?
Thanks

Do your contacts sync over to your car?
I bought an Evo 3D and now my contacts won't sync over bluetooth to my car! This sucks, I need this essential feature to work or I'll have to return this phone. Dialing from my car is much easier than dialing from the phone. My contacts synced just fine over bluetooth to my car with my old Evo.
The Evo 3D will connect to my car over bluetooth and can act work in "phone audio" mode, but how come the contacts won't sync like before?
Does anyone know if this is an issue caused by the new OTA? Unfortunately, I updated my phone so I could watch Green Hornet.
First of all, could you guys please list as below to clarify the issue. Thanks
1.What is the Rom version or Model of the phone you have use?
2.Car model Brand/ Year / model
3.Which car kit model? Original from the Car or install from car shop?

[Q] Bluetooth Issue

Have had my SG2S for about a month now. Everything works great except for the bluetooth.
In my wifes car ('09 BMW 3 series) and in my truck ('11 Ford F150) the phone connects perfectly when I get into the vehicles. The problem is during phone calls. In both vehicles, I get dropped at random from the vehicle during calls. I'm talking on the phone and poof, I'm kicked off. Sometimes I can pick up the phone to continue the call, sometimes there's nothing anywhere?!?
I've reset the phone, I've even changed the phone. The 'store' tells me that they have moved 'LOTS' of these phones and nobody has come back with this complaint. I've also read about manually reseting the bluetooth application in 'running services' in applications... no change there either.
PLEASE for my sanity... can somebody tell me what I'm missing!?!?
I've always had Blackberry's before and have NEVER had this issue.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thx.
Anybody? Anybody??
Nobody else has had this issue?!?
Bluetooth on the SGS2 has "issues" in some cases.
If your phone is rooted you can try editing /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and changing the "Master=False" line to "Master=True" then reboot which can help with dropouts.
You could also try just updating your firmware to the newest version you can, but Bluetooth support in Android 2.3 (and earlier obviously) is not very good.

Thanks for the info. My phone, unfortunately isn't rooted. I guess I should looking into that. I have Android Android 2.3.3 according to the phone. Is there another version available?

anyone here using the MOTOACTV with the GNOTE

i have the samsung note AT&T with ICS 4.0.3 and i cannot answer my calls from the MOTOACTV or return calls from it. the call back button is grey out i can't press it to received calls or to call back. i also have the motorola sf600 bluetooth , i can see the call on the device but i can't answer from it i have to use the button on the bluetooth to answer my calls.
I have a MOTOACTV and did some testing last night using my Note and my Motorola Atrix.
I have a bluetooth headset, and after connecting it I could not answer calls using the MOTOACTV with EITHER phone. I then connected a wired headset and was able to answer calls using the MOTOACTV, but only on the Atrix, not on the Note.
Just curious--did you install the hacked app before Moto released the new app that is supposed to work on any phone?
I tried it with my Gnote and I coulldnt get ANY notifications from the phone at all. And yes its connected. I have tried both the modified version and the newest version of the motoactv app. I also clicked yes and no when deciding what phone I have. ie with motorola phone ver2.1+.
My motoactv is rooted with Cleardroid 1.1.2A rom. Firmware version is 1.1.6. Any help to even get the SMS notification would be greatly appreciated.
Updated: Turns out Handscent SMS is not supported. Now I can see notifications, calling and text. However I cannot answer through the motoactv. I dont even know if i can do that...Any answer would help.
i have since returned my to bestbuy
i don't think it's possible to get all the fuctions working if you don't have a motorola phone. i gave up i went and got all my money back from them. **** this, i'll wait for samsung to come out with one that does with everything or at lease works with samsung phones.i'm not about to buy a motorola phone just to get this thing to work lol.
I have been using the Sony Smartwatch for the last week on the note and been working great! love it! havent charged it in 5 days!
yep the Sony watch looks nice but it is really a different device than the Motoactv.
Primarily the Motoactv has a GPS. I the Moto for golf, marathon training and bicycling. It has wifi auto connectivity and upload and auto sensor connections to Heartrate monitor, bicycle cadence, etc.
It does have a few software issues such as interval training, short battery life, and i can't get it to work at all via bluetooth with my Note. IT connects but that's it...no messages, etc. LUCKILY the problem areas aren't of interest to me but I can see where it is frustrating for those who do need those features.
For my activities...golf, running, bicycling...it's awesome. Was the gorilla glass since it can break...just like smartphones.
where did you get from ?

Have you tried using the earphones that came with the device? (ie. sf200)
Also try this: Go to bluetooth settings on the Note and click on the Motoactv. It should say something like "Connected to phone audio" under the device name. That's how I got my wired earphones to work. For some reason it doesn't automatically connect.
Haven't tried it with a bluetooth headset though.
Sorry for posting here. Old thread, but I think this is going to help.
Tried this with My S3 and my motoactv and worked well. You have to sync your headset to your motoactv AND your gnote.
bit . ly / OaSFJQ (put it together, cant post links 'cause im a newbie)
Not what I wanted but It works and I can answer calls right from the Headset (i'm using a jaybird freedom btw)
hope it helps!!

Sorry this is a reply to an old post, but I was really interested in getting the Sony Smartwatch but was a little let down when the site sad it would only work with certain phones and the Note wasnt listed. Have you have any issues?

LG V10 and chevy Mylink

Does anyone else have a 2014 Chevy silverado that they can test this on, or maybe any recent Chevrolet with the Mylink software/screen, whenever I connect my LG V10(Verizon variant) via blue tooth to my truck, the mylink touchscreen goes completely black, basically crashing it completely, it finally comes back on about 10 seconds later and says connected, but I get absolutely no volume out of my media, the phone volume is fine for phone calls, but I can't play any music, it shows it playing, there's just no sound, never had this problem before with my Note3 or my wife's S5 or her iPhone 6s
I have a 2015 Silverado and have the same problem. It will connect fine when the truck starts, but the screen does what you describe and the phone dissconnects, then reconnects a couple of times. Might do that indefinitely, but I switched back to the radio when the screen came up. There's another post in this forum that describes what I'm seeing, but in a Honda, so I'm guessing it's a phone thing rather than stereo related, but I could be wrong.
I've also noticed that I can access my contacts through my main screen, but they don't show up on the smaller screen on the instrument panel.
Mine is also a Verizon phone. I hope it's a simple software bug that can be fixed in an update.
ETA: The other poster said he had the same issue with the G4 and a Hundai whn that phone was new. But they patched it, so that's a good sign.

2015 CHEVY SS with mylink... No issue other than once where no audio would play through the speakers even though the track info was accurate. Restarting the car got it to work. Hasn't happened since.
Oh boy, I didn't see this thread, I've replied in 2 others. I'm having the same problem in my 2015 GMC Sierra. I have the newer "Intellilink" software, but the same EXACT problem with the head unit turning black and restarting. My truck is actually in service right now to see if they can update the software in the head unit. I love this phone, but I can't NOT have bluetooth audio. I'll keep you posted as to what they say. My note 4 and wife's iPhone 6 and 6s all worked with my truck, and with her car.

Do it.. You won't regret it
Other phones are having this problem as well. It's not just LG. The common theme is the new chevy my link system.
OK, update... I just picked the truck up from the dealership. They said they DID have an update for the "human interface" system, whatever that means, however the problem with the black screen / rebooting is still there :/
I might try exchanging the phone for a new one and see if it fixes it, otherwise, I'll have to get a stupid Turbo 2 (gross) or a Nexus 6p
LGv10 Chevy Colorado 2015
I'm having the same exact issue as mentioned above on a 2015 Chevy Colorado...black screen, rebooting and makes and received calls with no issues. Just will not play media audio. I hope LG fixes soon.

Got the SS [emoji1]. Everything works fine except that whenever I start the car it un-pauses Poweramp even when BT is not selected as source. I have the option tuned off in the player setting but still not luck.
Any suggestions?

Hmm.. you are correct. I've seen it do that sometimes with poweramp but I use google play music and it doesn't seem to have that issue. There are some utilities like Bluetooth Auto Connect (or similar) on the play store that control player behavior on BT connect/disconnect.. Maybe try one of those out? Or use tasker to pause music after x number of seconds?

I've got a 2015 Chevy Silverado. It does the EXACT same thing when I pair my V10 with it. Screen goes black then comes back on. I get call audio but no media audio. I see it playing but no sound. I've connected 4 other devices via bluetooth with no problem.

I also have a 2015 Colorado. My screen in the truck doesn't turn black/reboot. But I do have the issue where it says a track is playing but I either have no audio or the audio is playing through my phone rather than the speakers in the truck. I have found that if I wait until the phone is connected and I switch my source to FM and back to bluetooth it forces the audio through the vehicle speakers. It's an inconvience but at least it works. Hopefully there is a fix soon.
Android update fixed
I just did whatever update came down the pipe on my V10 and suddenly this problem seems to have resolved itself. So if you're still experiencing this problem and you have a pending android update. The Android update might fix it!
I have had the same problem the music looks like it's playing but not!, this happened on my lg v10 after the tmobil 6.0 update I love the phone but I can't have the audio music not play I would hate to have to change phones cause the trucks staying
I have a 2015 Silverado but I don't have that problem. But then again I have a different phone (HTC One M8). The only problem I have is that when the phone pairs, sometimes the phone will re-prompt me that MyLink is trying to access contacts/messages. Even though I have the checkbox checked to "don't prompt me again", it still prompts me often. It only started doing this when my phone got the Marshmallow update.
Oh well! At least it is a minor annoyance.
It's an LG thing more than a Chevy thing. I switch between Moto X Pure and the V10 and the MXP works fast and flawlessly. The V10 doesn't. I wanted the V10 to work so badly, I even bought an unlocked international version (in addition to the ATT stock version) to see if that would help. Nope.
EDIT: I have a 2015 Silverado
