• Bluetooth Keeps Stopping [telecom]

    From Bill Horne@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 2 14:31:24 2022
    As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was given a Google Pixel Fi phone by a kind neighbor. I got a Verizon SIM from Ting.com, and
    looked forward to have a "new" phone.

    It makes and receives calls OK, but there's a problem:

    Every few seconds, it pops up a notice that says "Bluetooth Keeps Stopping," with options to send a problem report, stop the app,
    or obtain app information. It's never-ending: I keep pushing "Stop the APP," and it keeps coming back a few seconds later.

    Please tell me if you know of any cure for his problem, and thanks for your help.

    Not my area of expertise, but have you tried turning the blue-tooth
    setting on and off?

    With Apple phones, one can do a "hard reset" by holding the home and
    power buttons at the same time until it reboots. I imagine that Android
    phones have a similar function.

    I have tried every "solution" that I could find, including a complete
    reset. None of them work: the last post I came across stated (bluntly)
    that the problem could not be solved. Google, it seems, does not feel
    that it's profitably to support long-term customers whom aren't buying
    new devices every quarter-hour.

    My 2¢. YMMV.
