This morning, when starting my commute to work, I noticed that the S5 wasn't connecting to my BT car stereo. I checked the phone and BT was off. I tapped the icon and it did the slight dimming for a few seconds and then went back to the off state. I opened up BT settings and tapped the slider to turn it on, got the message "Turning on bluetooth", but again, after a few seconds, it returned to the off position.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted with the hotspot mod, and the restart menu mod.
I tried restarting, powering off and removing battery and restarting, restarting and hitting the BT settings as quickly as possible, but it still will not work. Permissions on /system/vendor/lib/libbt-vendor.so are rw-r--r--, so I don't think it has anything to do with permissions.
I read a thread regarding a different phone and ROM having this problem and they fixed it by flashing a different kernel. Any ideas before I take this route?
EDIT: Just to be sure, I rebooted into recovery and ran fix permissions. No change.
Does anyone have the stock kernel that I can try to flash or Odin? Thought I might give this a try before going with a modded kernel.
Thanks
As much as I hated to do it, a factory reset fixed the problem. Still don't know what actually caused the problem.

Are you going to reflash the mods you were using to see if the problem was the same? Also, you might be able to just make a backup of your system/data/recovery and flash it over so you don't have to factory reset.

I tried the backup, but it brought the problem back as well. Not sure if it was something in the system or days our apps. Still need to do some forensics.
If you flashed off of an SD card, sometimes you can get subtle corruptions? I thought I saw something about it before..

Hi
I got my phone back and recovered it through a backup from TWRP.
Everything went smooth, besides half my drop-down menu settings are gone. Anyone with similar problems?
Attached picture. Missing things like Mobile Data on/off
I have the same issue after replacing some of the toggles. Now I can't turn data off wtf

I can't understand how it can disappear without any update. Like Samsung sat a date in the system it should disappear on
Maybe it's there when we wake up tomorrow.
i am now having this problem, the phone rebooted itself which has been reported on the net by lots of people and after i downloaded an app i noticed that this mobile data icon has disappeared. i have about 32 gb of space left on my phone so i dont understand what has happened here.
happened to me to today , 920i not rooted, Saudi Arabia
So what was the point of OTA update? What's changed beside disappearing toggles?
I'm having the same issue here in Ireland since yesterday. Spoke with Samsung support and they said factory reset should fix it but I haven't done it yet
Has anyone tried a factory reset to see if it worked?

I've read that some people tested it and factory reset is not working as far as i know... If you have rooted your phone, there are some solutions exist. Otherwise, we have to wait for a fix.

great tip, but due to the hardware problems I've had I rather not root (and yes I know that pingpongroot doesn't trigger kn0x).
My SM-N915FY reboots appx. 10 times per day. It's a stock phone, no root so no custom roms or mods. I had this phone since 5.1.1 and the phone is now at 6.0.1 patch level 1 from June 1, 2016. All upgrades have been done automatically OTA by either Samsung or my provider. It's been rebooting ever since i have it.
Questions:
- Anybody else having this problem?
- Is there a way to find out what i causing the reboots?
- If i root my phone, would i be able to troubleshoot this better?
- In case i root my device, is there a list of Samsung bloatware that is know to be safe to remove? My aim is to remove everything that might cause these reboots.
Thanks,
Ton.

Hi...
Have you tried factory resetting the phone from recovery. This solves a host of problems usually accompanied with OTA updates...Ensure you make a back up of your data...before doing this.
Cheers

Well, not good. I am now stuck at the Samsung activation screen. I enter my (correct) details and i get a "Processing Failed". I guess i am now down to rooting and install a custom ROM that doesn't have this crappy Samsung stuff.

Did you clear Cache and Dalvik cache from recovery...after factory reset....Do not select "Send diagnostic data" radio button during the activation process...
Good luck..

Yeah, i just had to remember my Samsung account. Now i am back in business. My phone is like new. New as in using battery like h*ll. Thinking about flashing a ROM that increases my battery life. Any suggestions?

Flashing a Custom ROM is easy. The tricky part is rooting and installing custom recovery. Since you are already on the latest Android version, you can disable any app that is causing battery drain..after rooting. Here is a useful guide...

Yeah, i tried to do that, but i keep having issues with a PIT file i apparently don't need. I am using Jodin (Mac here) and Jodin is asking me for a PIT file. I have a thread about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-915f-fy-g-t3398339/post67596487#post67596487
Any ideas?
BTW, after the factory reset the phone keeps rebooting itself.... Problem still exists.
Reboots
Well I am in the same boat with my edge. I am currently using it as a remote! I have booted into safe mode...nothing. Wiped the cache and hard reset it twice. I have never rooted a phone but it seems like that will be my only option. It doesn't seem that easy to do. How do you find the roms that work with your phone?

You can find ROMs in the Galaxy Note Edge section of this forum. I changed my Note Edge for a Galaxy J7 and it's faster, more modern and has a battery life 10 times longer than my Note Edge. Ah, and no reboots.
No more Note Edge for me.
I am using Moto G 3rd gen XT1550 Marshmallow stock version with Latest update by OTA.
Means my phone is fully updated with current available stock rom.
But sometimes when call is coming...the calling receiving option does not work.
I can not accept or disconnect call....
Just stuck while it automatically disconnect after full ringtone.
It's very annoying....
Pls help me....why it's happen...
And to fix that.
Try booting in safe mode... When you hold power to shutdown and the Shutdown option option comes up, long press it and reboot into Safe Mode and make a few tests, if it continues might want to try to factory reset, if the problem goes away it is an app you have installed (lock screen replacement perhaps?)
I did reset the phone.
It does not help.
I downloaded stock rom and flashed now as per instructions and commands....and locked bootloader.
Everything like factory update.
But still some times it stuck at call incoming windows....not able to receive .
Except this....everything working flawlessly and fine.
Any idea what to do now....
Not using any lock app .

Sounds like hardware or a rom glitch... If you've unlocked before try Resurrection Remix 5.7.3, it's about the only other thing I can think of

I tried to uninstall updates, also clearing cache but nothing works
this app must be a battery life improver app! not a killer one!!
knox anti malware system is off in it
Try clearing cache partition in recovery. If that doesn't help factory reset.

do you have the same problem with your device maintenance app ?
Bro, it shows a battery usage of.. a system. The Device Maintenance app is a part of the system - so it does not show the battery usage only of the app - it shows all the usage of the system apps. That's why is so high .

No mines fine. Normally 3-5 percent usage in a full day.

Yes its not there, and now exynos is on V2 bootloader too which means its not possible anymore to flash back to V1 bootloader, btw its the android system drain that you are experiencing, for me its 4%. Maybe clear the cache to solve it, or a factory reset as a last resort.
