Bluetooth creating constant notifications - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

So with bluetooth on, I get a constant notification whether a device is connected or not. This is all after the MM upgrade.
Steps already taken:
- Verified reminder is turned off in accessibility.
- Cleared cache.
- Removed all BT devices
- Factory reset.
PLEASE HELP

@jasong127
Try settings > wireless and networks > nearby device scanning > off.
Let me know if this works. It uses BT even when off. I turned mine off long ago. Never had your issue and unsure if this may solve it.

That was already off. I think that when my car (chevy mylink) was connected, there's an option to "Allow Contact" or something like that. Problem is, when the truck is no longer connected, all the other options move to off, except this one.
Happens with one other device too (my home phone system). I have to unpair them and it stops. Pretty much seems like a bug to me.

I will have to test this on my ford transit the next time i use it. I do know it always resets the 911 link, which is annoying.

I'm having the same issues. Just did a factory reset and have not paired any bluetooth devices. But the minute I turn on bluetooth I start getting notifications. Help before I flush my phone.

Did you have items at one time that were paired? The way I found out the solution is to unplug ever BT device in my house and start one by one. BTW, I have 1 home phone, 3 speakers, and a computer that all use BT. Turned out to be the home telephone that was the cause of it.

[Q] Auto off WiFi never comes back on

Anybody else having trouble with the WiFi not turning back on after waking from sleep? I'm using the "Only when plugged in" option for "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to conserve power.
What I'm seeing is when I am connected to a WiFi network and then lock the phone long enough for the WiFi to turn off, the WiFi will say it's on in the settings menu but won't show any available networks even if I hit "Scan". The only way to reestablish the connection is to toggle the WiFi on and off.
I've disabled Smart Actions because I thought that was interfering but it didn't help. I've also booted into Safe mode with the same problem.
My router is a Linksys WRT54GS. The settings are: SSID broadcasting, WPA2 Personal (AES), G-only.
I've attached before lock and after wake screenshots to show what I'm seeing.

I kind of see the same thing. Wi-Fi works fine until I leave the range of the router (e.g.leave the house to go to the store). Upon my return I see the same thing your screen shot shows. Turning off wi-fi and turning it back on solves the problem No other phone I've ever owned has ever done this.
I've tried auto connect, leave it on and off during sleep, reset the router and nothing has had any effect.
So it's not just me. I wonder if this is present on all phones or if we just got a bad batch.
EDIT: Well... for some odd reason the WiFi came back on from a sleep just now. I don't remember changing anything other than installing the 4.2 camera and changing the build.prop to a Galaxy Nexus. I shall investigate further.
EDIT 2: Could this perhaps be an ICS issue? (I came from a DROID X with GB) I ask because a GSIII in our house seems to be doing the same thing.
Not sure. My GS III will connect automatically without fail. I just got home with the Razr Maxx HD and had to go through the off and on routine to make it connect. I had the GS III last evening and it reconnected as usual once I got home.
There's an extensive thread on the Moto support forum where everyone is complaining about the wifi signal dropping randomly when connected. You are the only other person I've seen with our issue.
I haven't played with the GSIII extensively so it might have been a fluke that it did that.
I did see that thread but the Motorola support site has been loading very slowly on my end so I haven't been able to look through the whole thing due to my impatience with it.
Something's definitely wrong with the site. There's a thread for that as well LOL.

this is an issue with 4.4 kitkat. to fix it temporarily, toggle airplane mode or restart the phone, then toggle wifi.
for a permanent fix, i've read that deleting the wps_supplicant file under data/misc/wifi will do the trick. note that this will also delete all your saved wifi networks and passwords.
what i'm trying at the moment is just editing that wps_supplicant file - cleaning it up and just keeping 2 wifi networks in it (one for work, one for home). So far it's working well.
Just to make it clear, search the internet, other phones on kitkat intermittently have this problem.
What I'd try is turning off BT temporarily and see if WiFi works. Also, some people have reported WiFi issues after installing and using certain apps (a flashlight app, the app GasBuddy.) If you have one of those, try uninstalling and restarting the phone.
If that doesn't help, try restarting in safe mode to rule out another third party app. Long press power like you want to power off until the power off dialog shows, then long-press the "power off" until the safe mode prompt comes. If BT and WiFi works in safe mode, it's a third party app problem.
Hey mines was broken and I tried everything in every post around the web.Slap it,wipe cache,Factory data reset, safe mode nothing worked? then I enabled developer options and switched select runtime from Dalvik to ART and a reboot happened...Android is updating it said as I waited patiently. Maybe just maybe,BOOM I got WiFi Yes.update
WiFi gone again fix was temporary
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
wi-fi work on 1080
Thanks for give suggestion. Me also turn run time in developers option than phone reboot and upgrade after the process when I turned on Wi-Fi then it on.
Thank's once again.

[Nougat] WiFi and cellulair connection issues

The fact that our Nougat update got a bit late was annoying. The update was released and them feels were amazing..
However, at this point I am about [.....] < that close to throw my phone across the room... every single time I lose not only my WiFi connection but at some times even my cellulair connection...
This has never happend on either Lollipop (5.1.1) or Marshmellow (6.0.1). My phone has never been rooted and is up to date according to the last Samsung updates. I am currently running the latest 7.0 build (NRD90M.G920FXXUE5QE8), Security patch of May 1, 2017.
Some screens to show my issue:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, the first show no cellulair connection but a working WiFi...
The second shows the other way arround, no WiFi but a working cellulair connection. Both screens are taken tonight a few minutes apart.
I have tried:
- Reboot
- Wipe cache
- Forget and reenter WiFi
- Safe mode to exclude apps (but even in safe mode both connections will fail at some time)
I have performd a factory reset just after the OTA update and I haven't changed anything special within my phone, haven't installed any extra apps.. So I am a bit lost.
Anyone else with this issue?

I have the same issue. Not really sure what to do. I'm thinking of just taking it to the Samsung store and trying to get it replaced.
Did you find any solution?
Sounds like your data keeps bouncing from hspa to LTE and back. Whenever it does that it can be disconnected for more than a minute. Make sure you don't have download booster on and maybe lock connection to one type. Wcdma or gsm. Other than the usual crappy s6 signal it has been worse on mine since nougat aswell.

Xiaomi - "Sleep Timer" functions not working

Hi, I decided to post here because I'm facing a problem for a while and either the app developer knew how to solver. I'm talking about the Sleep Timer app, speaking of which I saw a post of years ago about it.
So, whats happening:
I use this app for years and it always worked well when I wanted it to turn off Spotify. Recently, I changed my phone and now I use a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. Since then, the app doesn't work well. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes not. That's how I'm using it now:
- I connect my phone to my Tronsmart bluetooth speaker
- Start the music on Spotify
- Start counter on the Sleep Timer app. I set it configuration to turn off Spotify and turn off bluetooth, so the speaker can auto turn off too when dispair the bluetooth and saves the speaker battery.
I used the app almost every night, setted as "no restriction" in the battery configuration area, with my bluetooth speaker. Speaking of which, last night setted the app to turn off Spotify and bluetooth as always and I woke up in the middle of night and the music was still playing. So, I setted it AGAIN, and I woke up later still in the middle of night with the music still playing, AGAIN.
I made some tests in the daytime instead of before I sleep and the app did its functions. But, its how I said: sometimes works, sometimes not.. To test if the problem was the app, I downloaded another app with the exactly same purpose and functions, and the same missfunction happened. So, it's something to do with the phone configurations too.
What I want with this topic is to see if someone could help me with this problem or at least could indicate some app with these functions that works 100% fine in the Xiomi's phones.
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this!

Extreme battery drain issue with Bluetooth

Hello,
I've had by Z5 since late 2015 and it's been a real trooper. Sadly it has recently (in the last few days) developed an issue where Bluetooth appears to be draining battery like crazy. I've dug around a bit on the internet and found a few people experiencing the problem but none too recently. One post suggested turning on the 'Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log' and toggling Bluetooth on and off, then checking the log. When I turn that setting on, it creates the 'btsnoop_hci.log' which very rapidly starts filling with junk. In the space of about 20 seconds it took for me to toggle BT on and off and take a copy of the log, it had grown to 700 KB.
Below are some screenshots showing the battery usage of Bluetooth. I have a copy of my btsnoop_hci.log file too but I couldn't find a way to attach it to this thread. If there's some way I can share this, please let me know. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this issue, I would be most grateful. As far as usage / changes that might have cause this problem, I can't think of anything too crazy but here are some points:
I paired my phone with a pair of Taotronics BH22 headphones last week but have since forced my Bluetooth to "forget" this device.
I use my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones pretty much every day to listen to music since March 2019.
I don't use my phone for anything other than messaging, and music. The apps I have installed do automatic updates sometimes -- I was actually suspecting that an automatic update that went on for one of my apps might be the culprit, but I have no idea how to check this.

I think I've figured out what was causing the problem. It was an update to 'Google Play Services'. The version that recently went on was 16.0.91
I installed the beta version (specifically, 17.1.22 (040400-245988633) beta (040400)) and since then, Bluetooth is behaving.
