<![CDATA[Bluetooth stopped working]]>Hi,

Bluetooth used to work but now when I enable it it doesn't search for devices (usually I get many 'unknown' devices and some with numbers I don't know what are these strange devices, I noticed the same stuff with Ubuntu desktop OS).

When I change the page, the button is set to OFF.

Since Shouko doesn't maintain this device from march on anymore it will hardly make any news, but i found out that bluetooth simply "doesn't like" when the cellular data is on. It only works when wifi is on and it needs a reboot after that. It is very annoying since waydroid" doesn't like" wifi which makes it impossible to for example listen to music when you are on your way with the mi a2. Anybody experiencing same or similar issues and searched for a solution already? My skills are limited but i like to learn about more terminal commands if that helps in my issue. Having cellular data on and no wifi, simply doesn't let the device find any other bluetooth devices. Rfkill shows no blocks and the bluetooth service is enabled. So there shouldn't be a reason that it doesn't work. Any other ideas on debugging the issue?

Seeing how many people struggle with bluetooth on their mi 2 i think it would be justified. I also tried with service restart in terminal and it didn't work.

I would guess that the number of people using Bluetooth headphones and smartwatches is the most likely explination. Please do not post about totally unproven theories here. There are many other places if you want to go down that wormhole. As @AppLee has also said.

Probably lost in translation, but I'll clarify things nonetheless.

So this forum is apolitical, so please keep your opinions for yourself.
We respect everyone's choice but this is not the place for this.

And on a technical standpoint, I doubt nanotech is so far advanced.
Your bluetooth devices are probably one from your neighbours, 10m can be a wide range in dense areas.

Some say that it is the Covid-19 application (that holds the QR code), here in France, that could create a new bluetooth device.

But this phenomenon has been observed elsewhere, where this application does not exist.

I am VERY tired of the current BS and what the governments are doing to reduce our freedom that this kind of stuff is believebale for me (even if it's dumb). We are heading towards an Orwellian dystopia.

Now its back after a restart. I will never disable it (but I'm afraid that if I enable airplane mode, the issue will reappears and I will have to wait for luck to fix it).

Maybe there's a link with airplane mode. I dunno.

Otherwise I wouldn't bother - for me personally, I don't require Bluetooth. I had an issue on my Pixel 2 losing Wi-Fi after the OTA-21 update - a reinstall solved it, all working with my usual apps installed in 20 minutes. Sometimes it is quicker to reinstall than try to and fault find if you need that service just to get it working.

I won't be able to help you further with command lines as i'm not an advanced Linux user.

I can tell you some basics when you end with no other solution, wich is trying to reinstall with ubports software, without wiping data if you need to keep it, or full wipe if you don't.

But before that, you could tell more about your issue.

When did it occured ? Did you update OS and then it stopped ? Did you install some apps and then it stopped, did you mod you system files, etc...

The more details, the more likely someone can provide helpfull advices.

Great !

@embeddedmz said in Bluetooth stopped working:

sudo service bluetooth restart
it blocks and never returns !

Maybe next time (hope there will not be) BT hangs you could try the rfkill command for no reboot, read this post : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5771/how-to-stop-and-restart-bluetooth-service/15?_=1641805952497
