Bluetooth Feature
Throughout the pandemic I have had problems with the blue tooth signal from my X1 box. I turn on my system and my blue tooth earbuds give me a pairing announcement. They will not pair. I check the X1 box settings only to find that blue tooth is no longer an option in the settings menus. It is simply not there. I reboot the box and the blue tooth options reappear in the settings menu. I never know when this is going to happen or how frequently it will happen. Generally, as long as the box is use after I re-establish the presence of blue tooth in the menu, the blue tooth options remain available in the menu and the devices remained paired. Once I turn the box off for the day I don't know if it will be there the next time I turn it on. I have had the menus disappear on occasion with out the box ever being turned off, but usually not. I have had many lengthy conversations with Comcast technical service to no avail. One tech sent me a new box which began did the same thing. The only answer I can get is to restart (reboot) the X1 box. The reboot procedure is time consuming and annoying, especially on those days I have to do it several times. I have read on the internet that other comcast customers are having this same problem. Every time I make a call to Comcast and wade thru the inordinate automated answering system and get to a technician, they act like they never heard of the problem. I have absolutely no control over what appears in the settings menu, nor should I. To the best of my knowledge nothing else on the menu is dropping out. As an electrical engineer and computer programmer, I have my suspicions as where the menu is being corrupted, but there is nothing I can do on my end. I need Comcast to address this problem on their end rather than continuing to ignore me.

Hello thank you for taking the time to reach out to us on our community forums! I noticed your original comment was on an older thread so I converted your comment into a new post. For troubleshooting purposes, when the menu disappears, are you able to say "Bluetooth" into the voice remote to get the Bluetooth menu to pull up? <EDIT: Removed Personal Information>

I'm afraid we are caught in a circle with this response. I am on this forum because several chats with comcast support ended with a promise to elevate the problem by taking my information and making a ticket. I have received a response to none of them. I am in no way interested in going through the same process again. I do have to note that I checked other comcast customers settings and found the blue tooth function missing and they are neither able to restore it by rebooting (restarting) or able to access it with the voice remote. I'd like to know what happened to all the complaints I filed and why this is happening with some customers and not all. I feel as though I have been abandoned by comcast on this one.

I am having problems pairing my bluetooth headphones. I don't even see bluetooth as an option. I reset my headphones and still unable to pair them. So frustrating!
