Hey everyone, was hoping someone might be able to shed some light as to what's going on with my phone/headset.
I've had this bluetooth samsung headset for a while, it's always worked on my old Galaxy I. It worked for a couple days on my Galaxy II, and then stopped. The phone will find it, and it will pair, but it will not connect.
So I tried my wife's headset. Same thing happened, worked for a couple days, and then all of a sudden it won't work. Same thing, it will pair, but not connect.
What in the world could cause this? Is there a file or directory I can delete that will purge the bluetooth settings on the phone maybe?
Thanks everyone.
I had this happen with my handsfree speakerphone and my Bluetooth ODB sensor recently. What I did was go into Settings>Wireless and network>Bluetooth Settings and unpair and re-pair the devices (long press on them from the list until the menu pops up to un-pair)
I did try that and rescanned for them. It finds then again but it's the same problem it just won't connect with them. Very strange.
Would a custom rom have any effect on something like this? I was thinking maybe switch over to something else and try that maybe?

i have this trouble with my bt all the time. i usually have to turn my bluetooth off on the settings and keep restarting then turning it back on. after doing this three or four times it seems to start working right. if u find a faster way would be helpfull
I've found that BT (with and without custom Roms) seems to work whenever it feels like it. To be fair my phone usually seems to be willing to work, but more than a couple of times it has decided to not work for no good reason other than apparently enjoying watching me be mad.
Since I got my phone on release day and I haven't been able to use it to make calls in my 2012 mazdaspeed3. My other phones have worked fine so I thought I needed a software update on my radio. Well everything is up to date and that didn't fix it.
The problem is when I make or receive a phone call the Bluetooth will connect and disconnect every 5-10 seconds. This makes it impossible to talk on the phone.
So I have tried stock roms, sense based roms, and all the CM based roms and they all did the same thing. Yesterday I was trying to figure it out so I sat in my car in the garage and the phone was in a constant connect disconnect loop. During this time I was disabling apps and services hoping to stop it when all of a sudden I turned off WiFi and it stopped. I then called my wife and had a 10 min conversation with no problems. So I now run a tasker profile that when Bluetooth connects it turns off WiFi so I can make calls. The problem is I have a nexus 7 dash mounted and I use the WiFi hotspot to run apps.
So after all that, does this sound like a hardware issue or a software issue? Should I return my phone for an exchange? Thanks for the help

Borrow the ole ball and chain's phone and see if it acts the same way.
Tried it. It works fine in my car, she has an S4. My phone also does the same in her car...

Sounds like u need to swap it out for a replacement. Never had an issue unless using custom kernals.

^ ^ What he said^ ^
Weird...
My M8 should be here today and I have a 2010 Mazdaspeed3. I hope this isn't an issue with all of them. Although, my MS3 has a long history of it's bluetooth not getting along with HTC phones.
Did you have any issues?

So far, no. It took me like 20 minutes to get the phone to pair but once that was done it hasn't disconnected at all. I have music constantly streaming through Bluetooth to the car and I've taken a couple calls with no issue.
having the same issue here. My vehicle is a 2013 Ford F150 with Sync.
Worked up until about a day ago .. Now i can't get stock or aosp roms to lock in bluetooth

Have you tried clearing data and cache in settings?
the Red Viper ROM
I am having the same issue.
It is connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, and it is SUPER annoying because it essentially renders my pebble watch useless.
For a while i was using the Automatic Link (car link) and was getting 'bluetooth share has stopped' errors, but found that when I stopped using the Automatic app it helped a little bit (stopped giving me the 'share has stopped' error), but it still connects and disconnects repeatedly.
The weirdest thing about this is that when I first got this phone I wasn't having this problem, everything was working fine for the first month or so, but it seems to keep getting worse.
I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, etc. and have not had any luck, but I don't want to do a complete wipe of all my data and lose my text messages, etc. unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, since there are images and things in there that I continually refer to for work, and I have not found that titanium backup restores them very reliably.
Has anybody had any luck with this issue? Could it be a defective device? It seems to me like it should be a software problem because it is not something I was having problems with from the start...
I am very frustrated with this, even more so because I love this phone so much. I have never had a phone that I liked as much as this one, usually the first thing I do is install an AOSP rom, but I even like Sense 6 in some ways. With Nova Launcher's 'OK Google' hotword support this phone is a dream come true... if only the bluetooth worked.

Sounds like the common theme may be root for whatever reason. I assume when you first had the phone and it worked that you were not rooted? Possible issue?

you need to let HTC backup app take care of backing up your texts etc...what if you dropped the phone in the toilet tonight or got pushed into a pool?
this app is free...will backup your stuff daily or on demand and will restore email accounts/texts/desktop/apps/blinkfeed settings etc.

install that, backup to the cloud (uses Google drive) and then continue troubleshooting without fear of losing stuff.

Please Help: HP Pro Slate 21 AiO Touch 2 Closing App & Returning to Desktop (Reboot?)
I've got a unique situation as I use two of these AiO devices as security camera monitors and this has worked fine for months now. I bought two of these and have them in two different rooms and I have IP Cam Viewer set up on each one to display the cameras that I want to view from that room. I also have installed IP Webcam on each one so that I may use the camera built into each one to monitor the area in front of of the monitors. This worked fine for months and I hadn't updated any firmware or anything on them because they worked fine as they were so I had no need to change anything. Within the last couple of weeks I would wake up and both of the monitors would be on the home screen with the apps both closed. I don't know if it's rebooting the entire unit or if just the apps are crashing or what but it's a real PITA since they're mounted up high and require getting a step stool out to reach them each time. Since I started having issues I upgraded the device's firmware since there was an update available thinking it might fix my issue but it did not. I thought maybe a notification was causing the issue (even none of my other Android devices close out the apps when I have a notification) so I disabled the notifications for some apps that default to have them enabled since I'm not using them but it's still happening.
I dunno what to think here.
Anyone have any suggestions to fix this?
Bumping this up & hoping to get some help. The problem still persists and I haven't been able to get any closer to a solution. I've noticed a couple of times now that I will get an error that may or may not be related. The error says:
"unfortunately, com.wolo.service has stopped"
Now, I don't know if this is the causation of the issue because there has been times that the screen going black (from basically a security monitor) has caught my eye and when it comes back on to the home screen (about a second or so) there is no error message. My guess is that this is the behavior most of the time. I just thought that it might be related or help to solve the problem.
To recap, HP Pro Slate 21 running whatever version of Android came on it and I quite literally have two apps installed and ONLY two apps installed: IP Cam Viewer & IP Webcam which I run exclusively 24/7 and nothing more. It worked fine for months where IP Webcam would allow me to access the webcam on the monitors as an extra security camera and then use the display to display 9 of the security cameras as a monitor. Then, without any notice or any changes from me (I wasn't even updating any apps or anything since I had no issues) the monitor crashes several times a day. This requires me to launch IP Webcam again to allow access to the camera and then launch IP Cam Viewer to display the security cameras as a monitor. This works fine for about 1/4 or so of the day/night but then, inevitably, it will occur again.
This is SO annoying from a device that should just work w/o any input.
Just got the SM-G920I via the Monoprice deal. It came loaded with 5.1.1 and upon startup did a Samsung update to bring it to the latest firmware. It's stock and not rooted right now. Put in my AT&T SIM and works fine with LTE and everything else. That's the good part. Given it comes with no warranty, I only have about 5 more days to decide whether to keep it or return it. Not being a Touchwiz fan, I installed some alternative launchers I've used in the past (Nova Prime, Action Launcher 3 Pro and Smart Launcher Pro). I can't diagnose any particular repeatable event, but every once in a while (several times a day) the phone just appears to restart showing the Samsung splash screen bringing you to to lock screen. It doesn't seem to be a full reboot as you don't see the initial "Android" screen and the "recent" menu is still full with the apps in place before the restart. Is this a common Samsung feature/bug other see? Does it seem like the phone might have faulty hardware? I did check for it being a fake, but it seems 100% genuine Samsung. For as painful as it is, I'm now using it under Touchwiz just to see if there is some incompatibility with 3rd party launchers. Any advice?
I don't have any such problem with the same device bought on eBay from monoprice and att network
That's not normal. Try a factory reset if you have the time or just return it
Clearing the cache partition is seeming to help. No soft reboots since doing it. Hope this doesn't jinx me - knock on Gorilla Glass.
I had the same problem and found out it only happened when I was out and about (away from my normal wifi connection) and the phone tried to connect to other wifi networks.
I reset all my wifi access points with an app called wifi fix and rescue, and no more soft reboots since.

My problem is different, and it has returned, but not as bad. Have since reset the phone and started from scratch. I'm trying to see if certain apps are the problem like Gravity Screen. Also, for the time being, I haven't disabled any of the S-crap "added value" loaded on the phone (except S-Voice because it wouldn't let me use Google Now voice recognition without nuking S-Voice). Before I was selectively disabling higher level apps I don't use like Facebook, and all the Microsoft apps. That shouldn't have made a difference. I might still return it and just get a Nexus 5x instead.
Sent the S6 back to Monoprice today. Crashes still remained about once a day. I liked the form factor, screen and camera. Fingerprint reader wasn't 100%, but not too bad most of the time. If it came with a Nexus style software distribution, it would be a killer device assuming no hardware problems. Just seems so senseless for Samsung to invest such effort into duplicating so many of the stock features just so they can create the illusion they are adding value with S-this-and that. I counted about 1.4 GB of bloatware you can't delete. They should completely follow the approach of Motorola and deliver a stock distribution with a couple of added unique capabilities which actual work and are useful. No need for a parallel Samsung app store. If they really don't think the stock launcher is adequate, include a $5 play store credit good towards any number of incredible 3rd party launchers (e.g. Action, Nova, Smart, ...). No, TouchWiz wouldn't be on that list. Waiting for delivery of a Nexus 5x; not as premium build-wise, but stock distribution and knowing security patches will come on a regular basis counts for a lot especially since much of the premium build of the S6 just gets covered by a case anyways.
I have a stock note 5 and a first generation zenwatch that has worked fine with my other phones but for some reason it has in the past month not been playing nice with my note 5. I have tried factory resetting the watch, different faces, etc and no luck. The voice control doesn't seem to work unless the phone is on and unlocked, even if I set the watch as a trusted device and notifications are extremely spotty. Anyone encountered issues or have a fix? Any help is much appreciated, I rely heavily on my watch and it sucks not having any usable functionality (besides navigation, which won't launch except by phone)
