[Elephone P7000] Sixtasy:
Hello everyone,

I'm having a problem with an elephone p7000, the entire phone works, except for the touch button which don't and sometimes when pressing the home button it assumes I'm pressing the middle of the screen.

Have any idea of what this could be/how to solve it?

Hey peeps, came from another thread labeled "Can you pair Pixel XL with car?" But we may have narrowed down to GM vehicles so I wanted to create a more specific thread. We're getting tons of other vehicle manufacturers owners replying they aren't having issues when we really need to know who is having issues.

In that thread there's two of us Silverado owners that can pair our pixel with our vehicle but it only connects for about 5 seconds then disconnects. It will not reconnect or stay connected. I've contacted support they had me do some lame typical scripted steps that did nothing to help. I've forgotten all BT devices rebooted , tried adding just my vehicle. I've rebooted in safe mode did the exact same steps. I've done a factory reset and before doing anything jump straight to my BT and try again. All with the same results. Other user has opened a bug report and I've sent feedback from the device.

I'm hoping we can get GM vehicle owners in here to reply to whether or not they have issues instead of non GM owners saying they are having no issues.

Please, if you're a GM vehicle owners give us your feedback on your BT connection. Maybe year and model info will help.

I own a 2013 Silverado. Other guy has a 2010 Silverado. In the bug reports I've read at least two other GM vehicles ( or people having the exact same issue ) Terrain and Equinox.

Hopefully this issue can be addressed or it will be a deal breaker for me and I'll have to return my pixel.

Btw I own the pixel XL. This other guy owns both pixel and pixel XL.

Thanks

I have a Pixel XL and a 6p. I have a 2015 Silverado. Both phones pair and work just fine with the truck. I have not had any random disconnects with the 6p and have used it with the truck since July of last year. No issues with the Pixel XL so far either.

Is there any updates available for your radio? I don't own GM but have Dodge with uconnect and download updates for maps and radio to usb drive then update my system. Just a thought.

I was having bluetooth issues on my uconnect when going to android 6.0.1 so updated radio and was good.

Can't connect – Buick Regal (late 2012)

Pairs without a problem, but drops connection within 2-3 seconds every time.

Same car without any issues in the past with: iP6, N5X, N5, Galaxy Nexus
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ko0ky:
After very simple and scripted troubleshooting with google store support I believe they are sending a replacement. I however am not confident the issue will be resolved with a replacement phone. I'll keep updates on any new information.

I also own a 2013 volt that I CAN pair and stay connected to. So maybe it's just certain radios. I have a standard gm radio with Bluetooth nothing fancy. I'll upload a photo of the radio unit in a few hours.

Thanks for all the replies

That's my exact head unit too.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jmcging:
The car is a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox with the factory handsfree OnStar equipment I can pair but as soon as I'm off the pairing screens, it no longer connects although it seems to think it is, given it shows the vehicle in Paired Devices and shows in the car as a paired phone.

My Nexus 6P, prior to it getting the 7.1 upgrade, paired and connected to the car the first time and flawlessly thereafter

Both 6P and XL paired with my Sony SRS-X3 and Fitbit Surge and my Nuvi GPS, which copied over contacts and handled handsfree nicely

Tried Safe mode - no difference from non-safe mode.

Did a factory reset. No resolution. Didn't fix a thing. Phone worked (or not worked) as it did before, same as safe mode.

Lots of GM problems in the link below:

https://productforums.google.com/fo...!msg/phone-by-google/SZrziPyWiHw/g-mkTUyzBwAJ

If nothing is said soon, I'd suggest that folks do like I did and use the support function of the phone (it's part of what you paid for) and report the bluetooth issue that way as well. You get to it by opening Settings and you should see the Support tab. I called and opened up an issue. Then it moved to email. It's one way to get the issue some focused attention.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jmcging:
Google support had me video the issue with my car and I showed it happened with my Pixel and Nexus 6P, both running 7.1. I then rolled the Nexus back to Android 7.0 and tested again. And it worked perfectly and as expected, so the issue is related to Android 7.1 and some of the GM head ends. Bur reports were generated for the 3 situations.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jawmail:
Cool, it looks like it is generating some interest with Google so I hope we get a resolution quickly. I sent them an email this morning with a bunch of questions they had asked me to answer. I also filled out a bug report on Google bug site.

Same here 2015 Camaro it connects then disconnects almost immediately. Oddly enough I use a Bluetooth to Aux for my media and that is fine but the Bluetooth for calls through the radio is a no go. Honestly not sure if I will stick it out for them to fix this.

I agree, it's simply not acceptable to not have hands-free calling in my truck. I've owned it since new. We would have to wait for 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 and who knows when those will come.

I was looking at the google forum site yesterday and was noticing numerous threads that indicated bluetooth issues with GM cars/trucks. The descriptions you mentioned are identical to what they were describing. I got the impression that google was starting up a bug report on the issue.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nikitis:
Hey guys, I'll shed some light on this subject. There are GM updates for radios for your cars. I have a 2012 Camaro 1 LS which had this problem with my previous phones. The Chevy Dealers can update your radios for as cheap as $40. Some dealers will charge $160, do not go to them. They CAN do this for $40. Get the latest radio software update and it greatly enhances the Bluetooth functionality. My Pixel XL works fine in it now as well since my radio update. Some dealerships are stupid to the idea of radio updates, but push the subject with them and tell them to go look it up. It's something they Can and SHOULD do, but the techs often times are educated on how to do the process so they need to look it up. The information is there for them.

Also if you do end up costing you $160 because you cannot find a dealer to do it for $40, then you may want to consider replacing your Deck with a Full Android Deck which can actually combine Bluetooth calling / Audio into one. Most GM decks require them as two devices, so new decks can do it better for similar pricing of flashing the radio. There are several people who have reported Chevy dealers doing radio upgrades for $40 from dealers and they should do it for that price. Do not let them talk you out of it. These flashes do report fixing Bluetooth connectivity issues with phones, and I can confirm my Pixel XL does work in my 2012 Camaro after flashing my radio.

Can you take a photo of your head unit? I just wonder if you have a fancy head unit while we have a standard. I can see my volt touchscreen having updates, but stock standard handsfree BT unit.. leaves me wondering..

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bladeofanduril:
I'm having the same issue with my Pixel (not XL) and pairing it with my 2012 Chevy Cruze. The Cruze has the base radio (not MyLink), with factory Pioneer upgrade. I did replace the PDIM with one from a Camaro that's A2DP capable. I'm running hardware version DB and software version DF. (This can be checked by pressing and holding the menu button on the radio). The Pixel can not hold a bluetooth connection for phone, but the A2DP connection is rock solid and works great. The two are separate bluetooth connections.

The fact that I'm running radio software revision DF (which I believe is a fairly recent one) makes me doubtful that a software update from GM will correct the issue. I'm hoping this is something Google can address.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] :
2012 Buick paired fine.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jawmail:
Thanks, I read this somewhere else too, I might have to check reflashing with my local dealer. When you mention the other decks are those GM radios or are you talking aftermarket?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tacopimp:
We have 2 pixel XL phones. In our 2012 Chevy Equinox with the basic GM radio and upgraded pioneer sound package, neither phone holds the BT connection. It connects and the 3 seconds later it disconnects. We also have a 2015 Chevy Malibu which has the MyLink radio that is obviously newer with all bells and whistles, and both Pixel phones connect and hold connection great. We never had an issue with the older 2012 Equinox when using past phones (S5, S6, Note 5). So it seems to be the older GM radio with the Pixel.

I have a different Chevy issue - I have a 2015 High Country 2500HD. I have no issues connecting to bluetooth. I'm able to listen (have it read to me) or view the text on the radio head. My issue is when I get in my truck, every text I've received since the last time I was in my truck starts popping up on the head. Anyone have anything similar?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tacopimp:
That's not working for me. Here is a pic of the radio, maybe it's not the one you think it is.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
on further testing with my 2013 Insignia, connects and can make calls. the problem is it doesn't auto connect when I get in the car I have to manually tell it to connect and it also can't pull my phone book information meaning if I wanted to make a call I have to dial by the phone, not a terrible thing with voice commands in android but I would rather use the voice commands on the car.

for information it's a navi 600 it's the one GM likes to put in the Euro cars. the only mention of a firmware update is with the maps, but £80 seems a bit excessive to get my phone working a bit smoother, because to be honest at new the maps were terrible and massively out of date also missing most smaller roads, I'm glad the nav didn't cost any extra or it would have really bugged me.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bladeofanduril:
Hmm your radio looks a little different. Maybe put it in Aux input and try again?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nikitis:
Correction. My phone now won't stay connected to the phone device on my Camaro either and I have DF version flashed as well. Radio flashing will NOT fix this issue with pixel! The GMusicConnect works solid though. This means that the Pixel has an incorrect blue tooth profile. Call Google and report the issue. This can be fixed with a software update. State that it doesn't stay connected to your radio and you need a different profile compatible with GM radios.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nikitis:
Update! I spoke with Google and went through all of the troubleshooting steps and it did not fix the issue as I knew it wouldn't. I was escalated and spoke to them and he confirmed the issue with me and there is now a bug opened for this issue. I stated that there were a lot of people on this forum in GM cars with this Radio type, and he responded with "They plan to fix this and roll it out with a nearby update, and that the pixel currently only works with the 2016 GM model cars as they use a newer radio device. The OnStar hardware used on some 2010-2015 GM cars was considered out of date and there was not Bluetooth profile support designed into the Pixel, but that they do plan to add it now because of our awareness here on XDA". Camaro's some Buicks, among others are affected and are only in GM cars. So it sounds like they were aware of the issue but was not aware of how widespread. So congratulations! We are getting a fix! He said they would send me a bug number after I asked for one, but have not received it yet. I will bug them until I get one as confirmation they are working on it.

I have a 2011 Equinox and have the same issue. It connects for few seconds and then disconnects.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jmcging:
For what it's worth, my Chevy dealer agreed to look at my radio and check the firmware/software to ensure it's the latest (or what passes for the latest) so that we can put to bed any question that the bluetooth problem is because the software in the GM hardware is not the latest. This is for a 2012 Chevy Equinox LT with the 7 inch screen, but pre-MyLink. The Google Support people were a bit aggressive in saying the issue could be because of this and while I suspect (especially based on some of the above messages) the trip to the dealer will not find any updates, I'd like to at least eliminate the variable..

So I got their Tier 2 support and it looks to be deflecting. We really need everyone to report this to support. Here's his reply:

Hi nikitis,

Thanks for contacting Google!

My name is Leny from tech-support team, I hope you're doing good.

I looked int your case and I see that you'd been contacting us several time regarding the bluetooth connectivity. We apologized for the trouble it caused about it.

I further checked your case and so as the Onstar, it looks like that you subscribe for this subsidiary General motors. We're not really familiar hw this works on devices and if there's like device compatibility for this OnStar. I strongly recommend you contacting OnStar, to check if your device compatible for it, or how it works fro that device.

Thanks,

Leny

Google Support Team

-------------------

A Pure deflection. This tells me they do not plan to fix it. They probably discussed it internally and decided they implemented bluetooth properly and Onstar did not. But they need to realize that a car is much more difficult to replace than a phone, and they need to correct this or people will return. The only way this gets fixed is if everyone reports the issue.
