I've seen a lot of posts about bluetooth issues, but I can't find anything about this: when I start BT on my pixel XL running 8.1 (the April security patch), it immediately closes. I'm fairly sure that it was okay in January, and maybe February; I think the trouble started with the March update. I have an unlocked and rooted (Magisk) phone, so I've been flashing my own updates. I thought about trying to flash an older version, but I'd rather not lose the security patches. where is the BT code? I know about the radio and modem images; is it one of those? any caveats?

Hi!
I'm having the same issue here, but i tend to think that Magisk is guilty, on non-rooted March update everything worked ok.
I'm still looking for something Magisk-Bluetooth related, maybe there is a fix somewhere.
Goodluck!
Are you updating with an OTA or with the full system image? I am on the April update (full image with flash-all with -w removed) and rooted with Magisk. I use BT every day and have no issues at all. If you haven't done a full image, I would start there without the -w. If still an issue, I would suggest doing a complete image including the -w and doing a complete reset.
yeah, I do the full image without -w, and it's the April image that I'm having trouble with. I guess a wipe might work, although I was hoping to avoid it. would you happen to know where the bluetooth code is?
Hmmm. I think I tried it on the April update before re-rooting; I might give that a shot when the May update comes out.
It seems that for me one of the Magisk modules was the problem, not sure which, but one of these two: Greenify or Crossbreeder lite, after i uninstalled these two my bluetooth started to work again.
that was it! I turned off Crossbreeder lite (didn't have Greenify) and now bluetooth is working again. thanks!
