Moto G4 Plus Bluetooth "Not Finding" devices any more. Used to connect to my car/Speak

[fritzferr]

Thanks for the Bluetooth share hint! I guess the big mystery if it's one of the apps, how do we roll it back to the previous version?

Hi everyone,

If the issue persists even if you have already tested in safe mode, kindly do the following steps: Settings > Backup & Restore > Reset Network Settings

Let us know if this helps.

I also have this Bluettoth malfunction.

Worked fine on Wednesday....Thurday it did not work.

This phone is still new to me.

How do I start in Safe Mode.

And Does RESET NETWORK SETTINGS mean I have to redo my apps, etc.

Done, nothing's changed.

Gotta wonder if it is related to this

Guys, I found the culprit / solution until the bug was fixed !!!! The problem is in the location settings! Go to settings, location click on the 3 points at the top right, choose "analyze" and deactivate "search for Bluetooth". After this change, Bluetooth has been up and running again, with no need to reboot, end Bluetooth sharing processes or airplane mode. It's sad to have to be a user to figure out the problem / workaround and Lenovo does not even acknowledge it!

I tried this and it still didnt work, between this and the WiFI speeds crawling almost to a stop these last few weeks I think that after a decent start taking over Moto that my time is done due to Lenovo somehow making these phones worse! 

[joeBhoy1]

try these steps 

Settings > Storage > Internal Storage > Apps > press the three dots in top right > Show system > Scroll down to Bluetooth Share > tap it > press Clear Data >then tap the info icon at top right > then force stop

now see if you can connect, worked for me 

Its a joke that in the last week both bluetooth and WiFi have totally failed on this phone, I've (so far managed to work around both issues but with no help from Lenovo whatsoever

Hi JM,

your answer was the solution for my G4 plus. it did not connect anymore to my beyerdinamic bluetooth inear, without doing a restart from the moto.

Thanks!

for me, it did not.
