Disappearing Bluetooth Settings?

---

Is this happening to anyone else? I changed the device name and added a couple of paired devices. Everything works great for a while. Then if I turn Bluetooth off, the settings revert to stock. When I reboot the phone, my settings reappear. Strange.

With Bluetooth off, my paired devices don't appear in Bluetooth Settings. When I turn Bluetooth back on, they are there, just as I had paired them. I guess that's the way it's supposed to work? I never looked at the settings with Bluetooth off, only when it was on, with my former phone, so I don't know if it's different for the G2x or not.

I want to just chime in and say I cant even pair it with my car (2011 Subaru) I go through the setup and when it gets ready to ask for the PIN, the phone says 'Unable to pair, incorrect PIN.' without me even getting a chance to enter it...maybe the BT has some quirks? (My N1 BT was flawless, and this is by no means a deal killer for me)

Mine does the same thing (2011 Infiniti) but after the fail, a pop-up appears on the phone asking me for the PIN and then it pairs.

Resurrecting an old thread, my bluetooth settings all vanished yesterday, and turning off and on the bluetooth power did not restore them. It took a reboot. First time that's happened to me since I've had the phone (April 20).

This seems to be a pattern: things degrade over time. Either the GPS won't get a fix, or Wi-Fi Calling won't connect, or the browser gets very slow, or now the bluetooth settings vanish, and a reboot makes things work right again. This smells a lot like a heap management bug to me -- corruption, or fragmentation, or leak. I hope things are better after the Gingerbread/bug-fix update that's supposedly coming soon.

+1 Definitely some poor memory management in the stock kernel is to blame for this.

Try this for a bluetooth fix.. worth a shot...

I am also having an odd BT issue. The phone pairs just fine with my 2009 Infiniti, most of the time. What i have found is that the phone decides to occassionally change its bluetooth address. After a reboot, it goes back to the original BT address that was originally paired with the car. This is kind of weird, no? Why would the phone change its BT addresss on its own?

I've seen this happen to me too. The address is part of firmware so its possible to change it just not sure why it is.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

did someone found the solution.
I am having same issue on lexus rx350, it will pair and then next day it will not find the g2x. you will have to reboot the phone, disable and enable Bluetooth to get it back or delete the profile and re enter/pair it again.
