Bluetooth problems on Nougat - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
after updating to Nougat i have noticed that my bluetooth turns itself off sometimes, som days just one time but some days up to five times.
i notice it because i have a android wear watch.
I did a clean update, i'm rooted but with slightly modified kernel, ran the script that adds back drm and twrp.
Tried to exclude bluetooth from powersave settings, and also android wear, but it still disables itself sometimes.
i do not have the stamina mode enabled.
Does anyone have the same problem?

try these:
Add bluetooth share to battery optimisation, but try adding unrestricted traffic aswell
also, the bluetooth time out for scanning in build properties is set to 120s as default

Thanks, i already had bluetooth share excluded in my battery optimization. i'll try the traffic thing.

if you have any VPN or Adguard, make sure it doesn't route bluetooth share traffic...
ANT HAL is another thing to look at aswell

Oh, I for got to mention, when I was first testing Bluetooth when the Z5C launched, I found Mirror service would create a bluetooth connection to paired devices, without authority, if this happens, normal bluetooth functions are lost because the device cannot create a new connection while the other one is active.
As a result, one of the first apps I disable when I flash is Mirror Link Service: com.sonymobile.mirrorlink.server11
it'll poll, connect, try to link the available services, and if there is no match for service type, it forgets to remove the connection.
it happens to bluetooth pairing with notebooks - because there is no "Audio Unit/Head"
I had a post about it on the Sony forums, and I think the CManagers gave feedback to the devs.
if you have any cast or screen mirror shortcuts enabled for display in quick settings, move them in to the unused drawer when you edit. anything appearing in any of the pages for quick settings will keep that app's service alive

Does anyone helse have problems with BLE/smart bluetooth on Nougat? Since the upgrade I've not been able to add my bluetooth heart rate strap.

In my car, Rav4 late 2016, hotspot by Bluetooth doesn't work since I upgrade to 7.
I would like downgrade to 6.0.1 but unfortunately it not possible to obtain OS french customized.

Problem with Bluetooth

I have had my Omate Truesmart for about two weeks now and I have loved it. When I turned my watch on this morning the bluetooth refuses to turn on. It was working last night but this morning it won't stay on. I have tried from the notification bar and from the settings wireless and networks. Neither approach works. When I slide the toggle to on from settings it immediately jumps back to off.

Do you have recovery?
If you have recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then try...
You could have same problems like many other.
If wiping won't to the job, it could be hardware issue, maybe to open it and check connections.
But contact Loki first...maybe he has better idea...

Loki suggested on G+ to try disabling Quick Boot, then rebooting.
It's in Settings>System>Accessibility
Yes, you have to turn off quick boot to recover bluetooth, or pull the battery or let the battery run all the way down. Otherwise it doesn't really reboot, and Bluetooth will still not work.

Just for reference. This did solve the problem. I am now back up and running. In regards to network access unavailable I had solved that with mine since I have it paired with Glass I had to enable bluetooth tethering. Then the error went away then the problem is that it always asked to connect and I had to manually disconnect it otherwise it would severely drain my battery.
I have also tried enabling Bluetooth tethering but still cannot connect. I don't seem to be able to connect with my laptop either. I can't send files at all. I might just have to be patient and wait for an update.
I am using the latest cm nightlies and Ubuntu 13.10 if it makes any difference.

Tethering is broken. At this time, with the poor base firmware Omate (and others like SimValley) is being given to work with. we get BT audio and not much else.

I have had Bluetooth tethering working on my stock omate and with the custom rom. I have it connected to my google glass as just a headset and with bluetooth data connection. I cannot get the my glass app to recognize it but I can get the internet sharing working over bluetooth.

That's the only tethering that works. Can't do it they other way (x201 > phone > internet) so it's still broken really.

I see. So it can provide bluetooth tethering but not consume it.

I've heard that this watch and the TS is pretty much the same watch. I'm having trouble with connecting with BT with my HTC One XL. I tried connecting a BT headset to it and it paired and connected. When I tried my laptop and my phone, they pair, but immediately disconnect; or rather, they don't connect at all in the first place. Has anyone had, and resolved, this issue with the Omate?
The BT issues affect ALL x201 smartwatches. So if it gets fixed on any x201, this forum will go nuts with folks applying the fix.

I saw a video from Cnet with the Omate and that BT icon at the top of the screen showed that it was connected... Can the TS's the people on XDA at least connect to their phones through BT or is that an on & off thing for all of these watches? Ugh.. I wish I was proficient at programming and other things so that I could help out with designing ways to improve on these smartwatches...

Me too! I really don't want to bother with adding a SIM card. The watch is great but I'd really want to use it with internet connectivity. Just curious... if this does work... will it affect my data plan same way as a hot spot? Sorry if its a newbie question.

[Q] no push notifications on wifi with KK

I upgraded my phone to KK back in late december and have been on it ever since but one problem has plagued me since then and I'm hoping to get some insight here. heres the problem...
When im connected to wifi (and this is only with wifi, not MD) I don't get my push notifications (gmail,fb,words,hangouts,etc) when the screen is off.Often i turn my screen on and get a barrage of notifications that i should have gotten hours ago. Ive tried all the sleep modes and Ive tried turning off wifi optimization.Nothing works and I know for fact it did not do this on JB.
I DO get text messages and phone calls instantly though but nothing else will wake my phone up. While i do enjoy the deep sleep, i would like to get my notifications in a reasonable amount of time without having to turn the phone on to check them.
Has anyone else had this "problem"?
Nope. Have you looked into what is and isn't checked in your Google Settings? There's a Play Games tab that allows you to mute certain games, essentially stopping their notifications. I don't suppose you've messed with that, have you?
It's strange, I've not really heard of this, especially since you're getting texts and such.

Yeah i know and I've googled it to death for a few months now. I'll check g settings but idk why that would stop gmail. It's like when I'm on Wi-Fi w/ the screen off its just a plain old dumb phone. I turn the screen on and the notifications just flood in.
Edit: nothing in g settings is muted. The only thing i can think of is i don't have app data synced in accounts.
I think i figured it out. I had "sync app data" unchecked in accounts. So far I've been getting notifications screen on and off. Now if someone will just play back to me on wwf...
EDIT: i may have spoke too soon. It still doesnt wake up without turning on my screen

I did when I was using Omni and it worked great. I haven't used it since running RR, however.
So you're wifi connected, and have actively turned mobile data off? I have never even tried that...
If, however, you mean that this happens only when you're connected to WiFi, then no, I have not experienced this issue.
The only other setting that I can think of that pertains to sync is in system settings > Data usage > settings > [ ] auto-sync data, but I don't think that would cause the awake-vs-sleep sync issues that you're describing.
I used to use Active display, I currently use AcDisplay, I'll likely go back to using the baked-in active display.

No i never turn mobile data off. I just meant that notifications come as expected when I'm on mobile data but on Wi-Fi, once the phone hits deep sleep (<a minute) i won't get notifications unless i turn the screen on.
I ask about active display because i remember when on resurrection ROM i was using it and getting notifications then and kind of forgot about it but I'm on PAC 4.4 now and it's doing it again. However i was using the init.d scripts they have baked in but have them all turned back off now to see if that fixes it.
It's the strangest thing I've seen. It's like when I'm on Wi-Fi and turn the screen off it just disconnects from all data even though i can plainly see that it is not. Angela has the same phone with the same settings as mine but on RR 5.0.5 and she gets notifications fine.
@cyril279 I knnow this is off topic but have you tried this AD app? Its got some other features/customizations that aren't on the built in AD
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications
That was actually one of the first active-display variants that I tried. It worked well, but there were a couple hiccups that kept me shopping. The add-on AD clones have great features, but they don't play well with the stock lockscreen, or they leave the [home] button active, or involve significant lag when evoking the notification. The baked-in clones operate fluidly, but without the cool-stuff. I haven't tried active notifications recently though, maybe the updates have smoothed things out. I'm definitely down to try it again.
AcDisplay's development has been re-directed by Motorola. It's still my favorite of the clones, the beta version is boss, but it still isn't as fluid as the built-in boring-ol Omni AD.

Well all my testing so far has lead me no where with the exception of using that app. So far, I've not been able to reproduce the problem while using it. The question is,"what is it doing" to make it work....
EDIT: The app does not fix it....
just thinking out loud herebut, could this be a kernel issue? Im currently using PAC's kernel that comes packaged in the rom. Maybe I should try @RenderBroken 's kernel...?
Edit: Using RB's kernel breaks some of the PAC features and it did not fix my notification issue

PAC uses a modified ramdisk compared to other CM derived roms. Are you only having issues trying to get PAC running on your phone? Is it KK or JB?

[SOLVED] Not Receiving Notifications on WiFi
My suspicions have paid off!! I started suspecting my router was the culprit so i pulled out my old netgear2400 and hooked it up and low and behold my notifications starting lighting my phone up again!!
The problem was the Xfinity router that came from comcast. Apparently it was closing the "heartbeat" line to stay connected when the screen was off before the heartbeat would send again, if that makes sense.
For the time being I'm going to just use my netgear router BUT I was able to fix the problem with the Xfinity router by using an app called Push Notification Fixer. Just install it, follow the instructions, and set the WIFI/mobile data heartbeat to the recommended settings. If that don't work start shortening the heartbeat time. It'll make sense when you see the app.
Hope this helps someone else along the way. I went a LONG WAY down the google rabbit hole before I figured this one out.
Great news, glad it was an easy fix!

Great news! Now you just need to install DD-wrt on your router and turn it from a $40 router to a $400. I know you like to tinker but check it out. ITs free and its just firmware for certain routers. It turned my old wrt54g into a baus

I'm having the same issue with KitKat CM11 ROM on my HP Touchpad (which is WiFi only), and will have to try this. Notifications come in instantly on my iPhone/iPads, but my Touchpad gets some serious delays...sometimes right away, and sometimes delayed.
By the way, did "Sync App Data" setting for an account have anything to do with push notifications, or is that more for backup purposes?
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------
Oh darn, mine is still delayed even with the push notification fixer installed and WiFi heartbeat at 5min. Even after I've just rebooted my Touchpad, actively using it, and not even 5 minutes has passed. Delay was 8 minutes and then the notifications came streaming in.
With Android/KitKat, do you have to have the app open in the background for push notifications to go thru? Or run the app at least once after a reboot?

Bluetooth won't stay on

Anyone having trouble with their bluetooth staying on? Mine continuously shuts off on its own, even while in use (streaming audio etc). I added the exception to the battery optimization just in case, but no change. Just wondering if any others are having that problem or have a possible solution? Possibly a hardware problem with my phone?
I set up a tasker profile to log each time it shuts off and turn it back on, and its almost exactly every 20 minutes. Sometimes it will stay on for a couple hours, but then it starts on the 20 minute cycle again.
Getting frustrated when streaming audio in the car and I also use Tile which needs bluetooth on to track. I have a Verizon G5 if that matters
Hum that is weird do you have an android wear device connected to the phone? If so add the ignore optimizations with that app and if you don't the maybe a factory reset might help and if that doesn't then idk what will.

Got the solution from a user on Reddit, it was the Tile app setting to "auto-repair connection issues", turned that off and Bluetooth works fine.
I got mine yesterday and didn't face your problem. Maybe you should also check the Bluetooth device.

Where does one find this for other people to see?
I am having constant dropping of my phone audio with my car BT. It will cut out for several seconds, the radio audio will come back, and then the phone will come back. I do not have the Tile app. I am wondering if the VoLTE (voice over LTE) might have something to do with it but that is pure uninformed speculation. I just disabled VoLTE so I can try it later in my car.
Looks like my hunch may have been right. There seems to be a problem on Marshmallow with Bluetooth:

If that is is the case, it didn't do it before the Marshmallow upgrade.

Just to update- disabling VoLTE seems to have completely resovled my problem of phone audio constantly dropping off and on.

This fixed my issue. I complained to Tile that they had not alerted Tile users that the Tile App is not compatible with Marshmallow v6.0 and that the auto-repair connection would effect the Bluetooth connections on the phone.
I nearly replaced my phone because I could not find what was causing the issue.

My Way of Turning Cell Radio off When Wifi Connected

I'm sure this has been done with Tasker etc, but here is my way of turning off the cell radio when connected to my home wifi. Saw just shy of 6 hours screen on time today for the first time so thought I'd share.
When connected to home/work wifi, it turns off the cell radio, thereby relying on Wifi for Project Fi calls and texts. When leaving home/work wifi range, cell radio is re-enabled.
Download and install Automate: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate&hl=en
Open it and click on the people icon on the top right corner of the app. Search Project Fi Airplane Mode. This is my "flow", download it then back out to the main screen.
Click "Project Fi Home Wifi=Airplane Mode". Click the pen icon on top, then Flowchart. Here we will change it from my network to yours. Click on the "when wifi connected" box. When you're connected to your home or work wifi network, select pick a network box and select it. Click done Click check mark on top. Install the permissions listed on this screen. Click start. Enjoy some nice battery savings Project Fi users!
I see, this app uses electrical grid to explain your automation, i use tasker but it requires secure settings to enable flight mode etc. Which has been broken since android L i believe, will try this app as it has the fucntions required

I don't do much with Secure Settings, but it's been working fine for what I do with it, which is mostly GPS toggles. I just couldn't do system less root

The Airplane Radios feature is still working perfectly from secure settings. I'm using it right now and it's working nicely! The only issue with it atm has been that, like @inzandity stated, Secure Settings does not cooperate with Systemless root, but that's really no big deal if you dont care much for Android Pay.

I want to play around more with this as I like the interface. The only problem I'm having is, currently I'm using phhusson's superuser and it doesn't seem to be getting the su request from Automate. Up until now, I've used Tasker and Secure Settings to do the same and they work fine.
Tasker will do that, GravityBox will do it too, and so will multiple IFTT type apps. Not sure there is much new here.

I'm aware of Tasker + Secure Settings, but where is this in GravityBox? I don't see anything in Smart Radio that shuts off the radio completely when connected to wifi. Also curious which apps in particular do this.

Yes, Smart Radio will not turn off the radio completely, but you can set it to 2G mode where the power consumption drops drastically relative to LTE. Now that you have pointed this out, why would you want to shut off the radio completely when connected to WiFi? That means that you loose phone functionality, and cannot receive or make phone calls.
As for apps that do this https://ifttt.com/ should work, at least before Marshmallow where Google clamped down on some settings adjustments.

No phone functionality is lost that I'm aware of, since Project Fi calls and texts will be routed through the wifi connection.

Got it, I did not read your OP in sufficient detail. For those that have Project Fi this could be value added. In my experience the 2G radio draws negligible power (standby time in 2G of a phone with a 3000mAh battery will be measured in weeks with the screen off) so the difference between fully off, and 2G only (or even 3G only) will be minor with respect to SOT, which will be dominated by the screen and wifi anyway.

I think that's right. 2g uses very little power, unless you are in a building or house that has low signal. I work in GM factory where I can barely pull 2g data.
Is there any way you could update this to include Bluetooth turning on after airplane mode is activated in addition to wifi, that way my smart watch can always stay connected too. Either way thanks for the post, it works great!

I just uploaded a version that will keep bluetooth on as well. Find it by searching the community for "project fi bluetooth"

Thank you so much, this is going to be amazing for my battery life. Toggling airplane mode and wifi and Bluetooth just became too tedious after awhile, but now I can save power effortlessly.

Jio4gvoice App bug on Oreo 8.1.0 and 8.0 ROMs.

As we know oneplus X is non VoLTE device so we have to use jio4Gvoice app to use jio Sim for calling purpose.
I am facing issue with jio4gvoice app which is not able to stay connected to network even if it is not optimised in battery setting. It automatically get disconnected after some time. And if it is connected I am not able to receive calls when app is not running in foreground. There is only message notification that you have missed a call.
This app is able to receive call only when application is open on the foreground, but when you clear it from recent the problem will start again.
I tried many solutions like enable GPS, switch off automatic network selection. But none of them is able to resolve the issue.
Now I am frustrated with testing new ROMs of Oreo because this problem is not resolved in any of them.
Due to this problem I am not able to use latest Oreo ROM.
Is there anyone with concrete solution of this problem in our community?

I am also using AOSP 8.1.0 by YumeMichi but I am not facing any problems. Try clean flashing the ROM once again. I faced the above prblem on LOS 15.1

Edit: if this helps then you can try. I'm using Naptime and I have white listed jio4gvoice from it. And I also use L Speed and did the same.

Thanks again. I tried this build also and got same situation with jio4gvoice app. I think naptime and lspeed has to do something with it. I will check and let you know outcome.:good:
Problem resolved.
Just turn on GPS and it will work like a charm. No need to whitelist app in Lspeed or Naptime or any other app. It will work as normal like in any nougat or marshmallow ROM after turning ON GPS.
Didn't in first post you said that Enabling GPS didn't helped? I am also having the same issue. Will let you you know if this resolves it.

Yes I mentioned it in first post. I was facing problem with older ROMs I tested. Solution with "GPS ENABLED ALWAYS" works with new builds of ROMs. I think it might be problem with older ones.
Enabling GPS did solve the Problem.
But Wouldn't GPS drain Battery if it is ON 24x7?
I was happy to flash Latest LOS 15.1 on my OPO.
But this Bug Ruined everything.
Hope there will be a fix out Soon.
Saddest Part is I've Just Replaced My OPO's Battery A few Days Back.
And I'm afraid this Battery will Lose its Full Capacity.
Time to Say Bye Bye to Jio I guess.

You can set the location to Battery Saving, no need to set it to High Accuracy.

Exactly. I use GPS in battery saving mode and it's not that much battery draining compared to high accuracy or device only mode. Which turns out to be daily driver even with jio4gvoice app running.
I tried to use xposed module to make Jio4gvoice app get predefined GPS location without turning GPS on, but not succeeded. If some app with ability to modify system settings or giving fake GPS location can make Jio4gvoice app to run without GPS always enabled. Which can solve battery draining due to it.
If someone finds any app please acknowledge us.
Thanks @SjBathavar for these. It saved my plenty of time.
