Hi,

having trouble with a stable Bluetooth connection. Its constantly turning off after some seconds. Same for Tethering -the Wifi hotspot is very instable and not usable.
Tried:
- Factory Reset
- Enabled WIFI and Bluetooth in the Battery Profiles (no save mode enabled)

running on v3.02_20170317. Is there any trick to get this stable or working?
Is there a new update planned which fixes these issues ?

Thanks
Swally

Ok, but the phone was 6.0 before the update and was doing it then. I was hoping that the update would fix it but didn't. It's fairly annoying like. Other than that, the pphone works class... well, it did. I just installed the rom again and now the sim cards don't have signal...

I have used the hotspot feature on my Z several times, and i have never seen it fail.

I will estimate i have used this for something like 24 - 30 hours now.

Could you please perform factory reset reset now after update?
We don't have Bluetooth issues with smartwatches, Bluetooth speakers and car radio.
Please tell me to which Bluetooth devices you have such issues.

I did that, no change. I'm not able to pair any BT device as the phone switches off BT immediately. The BT icon in the top row on the phone disappears after 1 second. Also the BT setting in the Battery saving options always gets reverted. I switch it on, hit save, than go back and its reverted to be disabled again.

I'm facing unstable bluetooth connection on my phone as well, it connects but from time to time it disconnects itself from Bluetooth speakers and headphones. I don't have this issue with older phones. Is there a fix coming?

My Umi Z has been doing this since day one. I was hoping the update would fix it but it hasn't. The only solution I have is restarting my phone which usually solves it but then after a while it does it again.

I have disabled BT scanning in Settings -> Location -> (Menu) Scanning as suggested in another post, but it didn't stop it.

I have reset the phone after the update to factory settings and it didn't stop it.

I have tested it on a BT speaker and my BT Headset, both of which work without problem with my PC and Umi Super.

I am getting a Smart Watch soon and don't really fancy having these issues with that.

Any help is appreciated.
