Galaxy S6 going beserk..what is going on (VIDEO) - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So last night my phone just went crazy. My wifi turns off, the sound modes go psycho, and bluetooth just goes on and off so very fast (as you can see in the video). At first I thought someone was hacking my phone, but it might be a software bug or something. Anyone know whats wrong?

Did you try factory reset

Or are you on a group text? My phone acts like that when I get off a plane and all of my messages are coming through.

Might be a wayward app. Try full reset as suggested. Of it recurs then it may be a factory defect.

Factory reset should fix the issue

Headset Connected

Everytime i connect my headset all notification sounds (email, sms, calls and other app notifications) are going through the speaker and headset isnt that when you connect the headset it shouldnt play on the speaker?
I came from iPhone 5 and this is what i am used to when headset is connect all sounds should only be in the connected device not on the phone speakers. I know you can install 3rd party apps but are there any normal or should i say a OOB solution for this?

I dont have this problem. Using stock firmware MJ1

I had this problem, too. The problem was that the Headset connection got deactivated immediately after a call was made (saw the Headset button going from green to grey when the call screen appeared). Pressing the Headset button again to reactivate it worked. Had to do that a few times. Now the problem is gone, the connection stays activated. I did reboot/cache wiped my phone at some point, but since I don't have the problem anymore, I can't reproduce what I did to check what did the trick. I'd start with reactivating the connection when it gets lost and than reboot.

they said its a phone feature, but if it is then Samsung suck bigtime.
there are some work around but its just a band aid solution i guess.

Well, what's the workaround then?
Apart from putting the phone on vibrate or silent.
Because it is bloody annoying, I spend 7 hours a day in a silent coupe on the train and the other 12 hours of my day in places where I can NOT afford to have my phone start beeping and make a bloody racket!
My earphones are IN MY EARS. How the bloody hell am I supposed to hear the notification if it goes off outside a bloody noise-cancellation soundbarrier?!
Absolute morons, the baffoons who designed that 'feature'. If your 'feature' looks like a bug, you did it wrong.

You can use Tasker to detect notifications and then send a message through the media stream.
When I have my headphones on and get a text Tasker will tell me about it while I am listening to music. You can get the name of the sender and/or speak the body of the text.

I guess we need to let Samsung know about this . Its very annoying whats the point of using headsets when the notifications are still being played on the phone speaker???

Notification sound after call.

Everytime I end a call my phone makes a notification sound. Any idea what this is for and how do disable it?
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Go into call settings and there is a prompt that allows you to turn it off on
Sent from Tapatalk
I turned off the end call notification and still get it.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
So I've figured out when the noise happens, but can't figure out how to turn it off. It happens everytime I connect too lte.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Is it a sound or vibrate? I see an option for vibrating
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
It's a sound and its quite annoying.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
117 views and no one else has experienced this. I've come to the conclusion that it has something to do with lte, but can't figure out how to disable. I can't be the only one.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Not sure, I've had two S5's now and neither did this.
It's possible some random setting that carried over for most of us etc.
I know the first S5 when it restored my old phone settings the screen timeout was set for 45 seconds for example, well that's not a valid option so it made the menu look funky lol. The second one it didn't do that as I had changed to 30 seconds before exchanging again.
I imagine something similar, some setting carried over to disable the sound and we just dunno which/where.
I did a lot of traveling yesterday and bounced on and off 3G and 4G and no data many times, no sounds.
Maybe it's the roaming guards too glitching? I do disable those too.
Thought I disabled the roaming guard but will check again. It wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't so damn loud.
Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk
I feel like an idiot. It was signal check pro. It never did it on my g2 or my tablet, but for some reason it was on by default on my s5.

Weird font issue when flipping homepages

Have a completely stock T-mobile Note Edge and recently been noticing that when I flip through my home screens (2) that the font is real small then pops to regular size (the font under the app icons) also the calendar widget goes back to regular size (that's only a tad smaller than normal)
I tried getting a screenshot of this happening but flipping through home screens and holding down the power and home button fast enough is a wee bit tricky.
Anyone else getting this issue? Seems to happen like 8 times out of 10. Running 5.0.1
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Yes. Same here with stock, unrooted 5.0.1. My girlfriend also has this problem on her Note Edge and she's with Sprint.
Been searching for any reference to the issue online, you are the first person I've heard mention it.
I don't know how to fix this but I wish I did. I've factory reset, wiped update cache, uninstalled apps. I'm out of ideas short of getting a replacement. [emoji29]
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
I'm thinking it's a software bug.
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Not sure what significance this has, but I noticed that if I go to developer options, scroll to GPU rendering profile and enable 'show onscreen as bars', for me this issue is longer reproducible.
Could you test this out on your device to see if you get the same results? It could be helpful.
If this is a software issue, I wonder if using Odin to write a fresh copy of 5.0.1 to the device would fix it. Have you tried this?
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Still happens
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Huh. That's interesting. I'm kinda hoping it is software related. I still haven't figured a way to permanently fix it.
Did you try odin'ing fresh stock firmware back onto the device? I haven't tried that yet. Or what else have you tried?

I have a T-mobile Note Edge and I am having same exact issue. i think the problem is with TouchWiz. I downloaded Nova launcher and it works fine now..I would be glad to get rid to Nova launcher and go to to Touchwhiz if the problem is solved.

Phone Locking Up

I'm hoping that this isn't a unique problem just for me but this is literally the first time I've had this problem. Depending on the use of my Note 5 will determine if I can even unlock my phone the next time I turn it on. I'll go about my usual use of any phone should be able to accomplish (browsing Instagram/Facebook/Chrome/Email/Pinterest/etc.). After a little while it become noticeable that the phone is starting to slow down considerably if I continue to use it. However, the one that really grinds my gears is I'll do my typical browsing and then lock my phone, put it back in my pocket. Something we all do, however, the next time I go to pull out my phone I can't even get the screen to come on for sometimes five minutes. I can hear it thinking with random sounds of the lock screen either responding to my fingers touching the screen or the un/lock sound but nothing happens. Sometimes, I can see the screen and all the notifications that I want to check on but nothing is happening. Sometimes, I'll double tap the home button to get to the camera shortcut programmed to it and sometimes the camera app comes up like it should but it is completely unresponsive.
So the steps I've tried to resolve the issue:
Restore to Stock ROM
Different ROMs
Even leaving the Stock ROM alone and just seeing if it still occurs
I'm just not sure what to try next. There's a chance the problem could be a memory error that's occurring physically but I'm not 100% sure.
Attached is my Note 5's current state of customization. Any help with this would be very very much appreciated.
Thank you
Giving a slight bump here. Does no one else have an idea of what c could be wrong?

Have you removed or disabled any system files? Also have you tweaked the kernel in any way?
I will say that I've had issue with v11 of that kernel you are using. I bounce between v4.1 and Sky-high v4.5 depending on what I need my phone for that day.

I will give those a try. Thank you!

Random vibrations?

T-Mobile Galaxy S7 here. There are times when I'm using the phone and it suddenly vibrates, as if receiving a notification. The thing is, there is no notification being received. I've already checked the most probable causes: Notification Reminder in Accessibility and Smart Alert under Advanced Features. Both are off. I'm at a loss and the random vibrations get annoying.
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
There has to be certain alerts or adverts coming up from one the apps.. try removing any online shopping apps or any such...
Else give a factory reset as a last resort..

That's what I'm talking about. It's so random. I might have to do a factory reset.

I had the same issue on my OPO, it was driving me nuts. It turned oit some ads on chrome when tapped once makes the phone vibrate, which got triggered evem when i wanted to scroll
I have problem with random vibrations on s7 edge. I think the cause of the problem is google play service. But if i uninstall gps i cant use some apps.
Are any of the S7/Edge's rooted or running custom ROMs?
I am on official samy rom

Anyone figure this out, mine has started doing it and it's bugging me.
I just realized mine stopped, though I don't remember when it stopped.
