Flex Bluetooth issues

I'm having issues connecting my Bluetooth wireless earbuds to my flex box. I've done it before but there was a firmware update and ever since it will connect for 1 second and then auto disconnect. I can never stay connected for more than a second.

For anyone else reading this, the only working resolution to this issue is to have the Flex unit replaced.  I had this same issue, had mine replaced, and the replacement works.

Hey @Jpeter38 thank you for visiting our Community Forums for help with your Xfinity Flex box and Bluetooth pairing. Do you currently have other devices that are connected as well?You can pair up to seven Bluetooth devices to Flex streaming TV Box, but only one can be connected at a time.

I've not been able to connect for a week now, although previously this worked fine. I called last week and talked to two different people for 45 minutes and was told it was likely a software glitch. Still hasn't been fixed.

Good afternoon! Thank you for reaching out to let us know this has been continuing to have problems with connection on your Bluetooth device. I never want to keep my kids awake with TV after they are in bed so having the Bluetooth is amazing!

can you try going to settings > device settings > audio > Bluetooth devices > and unpair the device than pair it back?

I have been having the exact same issue with my sound bar that had always worked. Sound bar works with my headset and my phone so it’s not the device. I have unpaired the device (forgetting it) and now reconnected it only to receive an error message [XRE-22003]

Also having this issue- done every troubleshooting step INCLUDING having an Xfinity employee remotely refresh my device. Definitely a firmware issue- things were working fine until late March.

@XfinityDevinC​ Yes I have tried this multiple times, as well as unplugging and refreshing my unit. I have no problems pairing with my phone or computer, so it's definitely an issue on your end.

Still having issue with this. I select forget and then try to reconnect and it won't reconnect even. I see it in the list , try to connect and it just stalls for 20 seconds before removing my headphones from the list, or it just gives an error saying sorry we can't connect please check that your Bluetooth device is turned on and in range of your tv box.

Hi, @Jpeter38! Thanks for reaching back out. Please make sure the Bluetooth device isn't paired to any other device already. It may help to restart the Bluetooth device and put it back into pairing mode. Please let me know if that helps!

I'm having a very similar issue, except that my flex box takes forever to even discover any Bluetooth devices, and if it ever finds my headset, my headset tells me that it's been paired. However, I then will get a message onscreen saying that it can't connect to my headset. I've tried multiple headsets with the same problem.

Hello, and thank you for reaching out to our forums for support with your Flex box and connected devices. How far away are the devices when attempting to connect them? Has your Flex box recently been updated?

Hello @Century2015, I appreciate you reaching out to us for assistance with your blue tooth issue. I would be happy to assist you. Are you only having an issue when trying to connect to the Flex box by Bluetooth or are you having issues connecting to other devices as well?

Can't believe there isn't a resolution to this issue after almost 2 months of reports!

All we've gotten is a generic "have you tried pairing it again"

Bluetooth device pairs but no sound. Headset works fine connected to computer, but not flex. Have tried forgetting and re-pairing. Nothing works. It says it's connected just fine. No updates that I'm aware of between last week and today.

@user_31b55e. There are no known issues yet, but I will keep an eye out. I have a few pairs of headphones that do the same thing and others that work. Waiting for a firmware update is the best for now.

I am having a similar issue, except the flex device does not even find my wireless headphones. I am able to pair my headphones with my phone, so they do work. Can someone help me? I do not want to spend an hour on the phone with xfinity. I have already unplugged the flex box and plugged it back in. I have refreshed the headphones multiple times, also. Nothing works.

I don't understand how after six months, there is still not a fix for this! It used to work fine, but then you all did something in early April and it stopped working. No matter how many times we do a system refresh, unplug the box, check the connection, forget the device-- nothing works. My headphones appear in the list but the connection fails. I have not had any issues connecting them with any other device and again, I used to be able to connect them to my flex box without any problems. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hey there @user_50e8d5. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to reach out to Xfinity on Forums! This is certainly not the experience we want for our valued members. Have any of the above answers helped or did you still need assitance with this concern?

@XfinityDevinC​ It would be great if you'd actually take this issue to the engineers instead of asking customers if any of the repetitive steps above that we've all tried worked.  No, none of the steps worked.

The engineers broke the Bluetooth functionality in a firmware release.  Report it now please and provide an ETA for repair.

Thank you for the update that this is still an issue on your end. Let's get this looked at and resolved. The best way to get this to our engineering department is for us to run a troubleshooting program on the audio issue you are having with pairing your blue tooth headphones to your Flex box. To create this ticket for our engineers, I would need to have you send us your full name and address in a direct message. To send a direct message, first make sure you are signed into the Forums. Then you will click on the "Chat" icon in the upper right. Next, click on the "pen/pad" icon, and lastly select Xfinity Support. Thank you for your time.

Yep replaced mine 7 months ago. Just go into an Xfinity store and ask for a replacement. The agent knew exactly what I was talking about. He said they've had issues with older models. So he gave me a new model which looked different and it has been working since.

I agree that the only fix is replacing your box. I’ve talked to customer service so many times and they often provided instructions that are on their website but are just wrong. Finally they sent me a new box and it now works fine.
