Hey guys, so i searched this thread and I found a few topics on Bluetooth issues with the pixel 2. I see some people reporting all sort of issues and of course some with none. I fell into the first group where my used ebay pixel 2 XL would connect fine to my car Bluetooth radio ( 2015 VW JETTA ) and if you started a call it was fine but once you ended the call on the phone it would never drop that Bluetooth session to the radio and lock it from playing anything else like music or radio. The only fix was to either turn off the car or disable/enable Bluetooth on the pixel. So I loved the phone, it was fast and the camera was awesome but returned it since i use Bluetooth audio a lot in my car ( I blame my wife ) ;> I spoke to google support and they gave me troubleshooting steps which were the same that i did including downgrading back to android O from android P beta, re-pairing to my car about 10 times, rebooting the phone and messing with the Bluetooth version(s) under the developer settings. Nothing worked for me.
So here i am thinking did i get a lemon from ebay and that was why it was a used returned phone and if i purchased a new one from google today would it have these Bluetooth issues? are these Bluetooth issues really common? Im on the fence on this. Is this a known bug in these phones that works fine so most but the others like me it doesn't? with the pixel 3 coming soon by all accounts is there any word if the Bluetooth chip set in those will be different?
Thanks for any info. Doug
