OnePlus Nord users have been facing Bluetooth issues where it automatically disconnects from the paired device. The user complaints were posted on Reddit, Twitter, and the OnePlus community forum. The OnePlus Nord has seen multiple issues since launch and the company has been releasing updates to address them, but it has not yet acknowledged this Bluetooth issue. A OnePlus Nord user posted on the community forum that this issue occurs when connected to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and not when using 5GHz.

This latest issue to affect OnePlus Nord users is related to Bluetooth connectivity. As per a few tweets, OnePlus Nord users seem to be unable to get a stable Bluetooth connection. They have described the issue as not being able to stay connected to their wireless headphones, or another phone as described by a user on Reddit, for more than a few minutes over Bluetooth. This prevents users from listening to anything on their wireless headphones or transferring files from or to their OnePlus Nord.
