Pixel, Nexus Users Report Bluetooth Issues on Android 8.0 Oreo; Google Asks for More Information
- Pixel and Nexus users on Android 8.0 report Bluetooth issues
- Google asking for more information on the issue
- Issues largely related to Android Auto
Now that everyone knows that Android 8.0 will go by the name
of Oreo, we can look forward for the update, which will be a gradual and slow
process for a majority of Android users out there. But Pixel and Nexus users
who have managed to hop on to the latest update are now reporting the first set
of bugs. After installing the final version of Android 8.0, some users have
reported facing Bluetooth issues, and Google is asking for feedback to address
the matter.
Pixel and Nexus users on the latest OTA update have been
asked by Google for additional information via the above-linked individual
forums. The Search giant has divided Bluetooth-related issues into three main
parts - Car/ Auto, Headphones, and Bluetooth Speakers - under which users are
to provide specific details of the products that are facing connectivity
issues.
Bluetooth-related issues with Android are getting fairly
common now. A similar situation was faced by users last year when Google rolled
out Android 7.1.1 Nougat that caused in-car Bluetooth connectivity issues.
Google managed to quickly solve the bug, and will likely get the kinks sorted
for Android 8.0 soon as well.
Users have largely complained about issues faced when
pairing with Android Auto such as media content not displaying correctly, or it
shows as paired but no audio plays, or frequent stuttering while music is
playing, to name a few. Other issues related to headphones include audio cuts
every 5-20 seconds and "skipping or clipping sounds like scratched
CD."
Google will likely roll out a fix for the issues once it
gets as much information as it can and before Android 8.0 rolls out to other
smartphones such as the Lenovo K8 Note, HTC U11, OnePlus 5, to name a few.
