GFit's WIFI and BLUETOOTH won't turn on

Hi guys! Anybody here knows where to purchase or what to do about my phone?
My WIFI and BLUETOOTH won't turn on anymore. My phone was actually a FLOODED phone, and we brought it to SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER. They did not open and cleaned the inner part of the phone (even the outer part). That's why my WIFI and BLUETOOTH thing got rust and now it won't turn on.
When I want to turn my WIFI on a message ERROR will show up.
When I turn my BLUETOOTH on nothing happens.

wrong section...
go to samsung customer care center again and be ready to pay them as mostly water damaged phones aren't covered under warranty.
it's a hardware problem and can't be solved by software upgrades.

Crap, I have exactly the same issue, did you get it resolved?

Try to reset the watch. Cut the BT on the phone so it doesn't start pairing, go into the tools on the watch and chose reset.
Put the watch off and now delete pairing on the phone and reboot it to be sure the watch is no longer paired.
Now start the pairing process all over.
Hope this helps

Mine too. Suddenly decided after a week to continually disconnect from phone. Get a message saying 'unfortunately smartwatch 2 had stopped working'. Tried every reset. Annoyingly it works fine on my wife's galaxy s4. Really hope it's not the z1 that's knackered! Returning on Monday.

If it works fine with your wife's s4 than its not the problem with the watch.
Its the problem on your phone with smartwatch 2 app.
Try to delete data and reinstall app on phone, delete pairing and reset watch and start again.
Bad watch is the one that doesnt work on any phone...

Yeah, hopefully mine will be picked up today, but I'm told it may be up to 14 days for replacement. And they kept talking about repair when talking on the phone when it was DOA, hopefully they took on board that it just needs replaced...

I have exactly the same issue. I have tried multiple phones, but no dice..... cant reset it from tools as cant get past the clock screen. Going to try to update the fw and see what happens

Screen is shacking! Help!

I just woke up and my screen started shacking , everything is moving up and down randomly by 0.3 mm ( like in movies when a computer gets attacked by an alien virus )
It seems it happens more often when I touch the screen , but its also shacking on its own just les often.
I have 32 GB Nexus 5 everything is stock

Seems like a hardware failure(screen) to me... Try rebooting?? Post a pic if you can...

You can add dots/spaces between the url of the image to post!
something like : h t tp s: // www example. com/nexus5 .jpg
Rippling/shaking effect on screen means a hardware failure... However, just to be sure, we would like to look at it...
Last resort might be to factory reset it.. but I doubt if it's going to help.

This happens only in Google Now or everywhere? If yes, then it looks like a screen failure. RMA it asap.
However, I would suggest a factory reset first and see to confirm it.

Since your fully stock, there's no question of uninstalling Xposed framework or anything of that sort.
Backup your data and factory reset it. If that doesn't help, then it's obviously a hardware fault and the only thing you can do is send it to Google/LG! Good luck :good:

The weirdest problem.

hi guys,
i seriously think i have the weirdest problem on my nexus 5, i looked for ages for someone with that problem. and didnt find.
ever since i've replaced my screen and my battery (pretty sure it's an original one) every now and than my phone just turns off.
the weird part is, it won't turn on until i plug my phone to the charger.
i can plug it even to one second, and than i can turn my phone back on.
and it won't turn on in any other way!
I have this problem for a long time so i gathered some facts:
* it can happen regardless of how much battery i have. it can happen in 90% and it can happen in 10.% but i did found out it is more likely to happen the less battery i have.
* it happens more when i use stock apps: google search, google maps, camera...
* it happens almost always when i take a picture with the camera , especially if i use flash
* it is more likely to happen if the device is wormer (after a long heavy use...)
* it is also likely to happen if i press the "back" button a lot of times rapidly to go back to home screen

Ask lg

Have you isolated the reverse power flux coupling?

This is not weird. Obviously something went wrong when you replaced battery and or screen.

i don't have money for a repair shop... it will probably cost me like a new phone
i wanna figure out the problem myself and try fixing it alone (by buying parts in ebay...)
and i still think the problem might be softwary

That's fine, except no one here is going to be able to tell what you did or didn't do when you opened up the device and replaced the battery and screen. There's some very sensitive circuitry in there. Could be anything. Most likely NOT software-related or other folks would be having these same issues. and they're not.

Get a free quote from the repair shop they'll find the problem then leave and buy the defective parts on ebay

You're describing basically the same issues I used to have with my old Samsung galaxy s4 when the battery got bloated. 3 times.. 100% bad battery.
I mean, c'mon dude really? you replaced the battery AND the screen and you still think you're having software issues?.. just replace the battery for one you're more than "pretty sure" is an original one..

Compass?

Hi guys. I have some problems with the compass. When I compare it with other devices it shows other directions.. is my phone broke ? Do u guys have this issue too ?

Maybe the gyroscope isn't calibrated property, if you can't do anything now, try a factory reset

I tried this at my desk at work and the phone shows North where south should be and South where north should be. I grabbed a co-workers iPhone and his pointed north perfectly. After shaking my phone a few times, it eventually corrected itself, but was easily thrown off by moving it again.
My only guess is that our phones are VERY susceptible to electromagnetic interference.

Or you can simply try to reboot.

no it asks every time to calibrate ,I dont know y.

I can confirm that my compass now works properly in my home. My office has hundreds of electronic devices connected to numerous WiFi routers. It seems to support my hypothesis that our phones are just very sensitive to EM interference.
