I am on 4.2.2 and the bluetooth won't turn on. As soon as i click ON, it immediately goes back to OFF (in blink of an eye). Is it due to the well known wifi-bluetooth issue? It happened yesterday when wifi was off even. Restart is the only temporary cure as for now. Any suggestions?
See this
The video isn't mine. Searched over the internet.

Exactly. Although a restarts fixes the issue temporarily but it's pretty annoying as bluetooth is used daily and that too quite a lot of times in a day, sometimes. So constant restart really isn't a cure. Anyhow, I was wondering it's just me and this youtube user lol.. but now I know it's kind of a known issue and hopefully Google will fix it, since they know the issues with BT/WiFi etc. But I heard they fixed it in 4.2.2 however, we are still getting it which means the issue hasn't been resolved completely.
Edit: I was using Juice Defender Ultimate earlier and the issue started happening right after a few days of the said app's. installation. Googled a bit and got to know JDU is the culprit. So I uninstalled it on Saturday. But issue still persists.

Never had Juice Defender Ultimate installed on my phone,so thats definitely not the cause. However maybe another app is causing this ? Would be interesting if we could find out.
I am also glad im not the only one with this problem, but it seems like it isnt affecting a lot of devices .. I mean this thread is barely getting responses ? Anyway I hope this gets fixed soon.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I hardly ever use the BT, but the only 2 times I needed it, it happened the same to me. Never used juicedefender, unlocked bootloader + root only.
It's not a big issue for me... but IT IS an annoying issue
I had this for the first time today. The only app I have that might effect it is Qualcomm Battery Guru.
Do you have frozen any service that might be linked to Bluetooth ?
Hmmm.. I uninstalled JDU after reading this thread:
http://feedback.latedroid.com/forum...ooth-cannot-be-turned-on-when-juicedefender-u
...but nothing really changed. So it definitely wasn't JDU.
Hmmmm..
Since a week I am facing another weird issue. I can't seem to transfer any files from or to my phone. Since Jpegs are of small size, they get transferred. But songs..videos..etc.. they just cant get transferred. For instance, a transfer will suddenly hang at..lets say...14% and will stay there for half a minute or so.. and then 1 file share unsuccessful will appear in notification. Out of around 10 to 15 tries, just once it transferred a 39 MB HD trailor.. otherwise it just doesn't transfer any thing.. Do you guys face this *hit too? What to do?:s
This Bluetooth not turning on issue is really annoying. Anyone has any news for it? No fix? Nothing?
I have to restarted my device several times in a day. And it extremely embarrassing when someone asks for a file transfer and you say him.. wait i need to restart the phone. BT isn't turning on
I asked a friend of mine, who has a N4, about this and he said it never happened to him. It seems that not all devices are affected with this bug ? Could it be a hardware thing ?

Only had it happen once during the last three weeks so the issue is quite rare. Also had to reboot to fix.
You can leave Bluetooth enabled though, it doesn't drain battery whilst inactive.

Same here, have no issues. I did have issues with wifi not turning itself back on when I was using Qualcomm's Battery Guru. Are you using any type of battery saving app like Tasker? If you are try uninstalling it and see if that helps.

No. I don't use any battery saving app. I recently installed Battery Guru. But the issue was there even before installing it. The issue is there since the day I got my hands on the device. I seriously don't want to RMA as everything else is excellent in the device. Infact.. I seriously do not hear any buzzing sound from it.. even in a silent room. It was there in first few days but it was hardly audible. And now its gone. I have tried many times listening in a silent room but don't hear it anymore. So everything is perfect besides this BT bug I really really want a fix for it. No RMAing
The problem arises from the constant turning off and on of the bluetooth radio, as seen in cases such as the battery saving apps (Qualcomm Battery Guru, Juice Defender, etc.). I have the same problem happen when I automate the toggling of bluetooth using a Tasker created schedule. It is not limited to any particular app but has to do with a bug in the Android OS.
The official bug report is here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39688
You guys can star the issue to help raise awareness to Google so that they can fix it. For now, the only workaround that I have found is to just leave bluetooth on all the time.
Help!
Same happens to me. As soon as I switch bluetooth on it switches off. Rebooting doesn't work for me neither does doing a factory reset. Will this be fixed??
I am not having any issues with blue tooth and wifi

That's interesting. I got this phone as a replacement and I already have a charging issue with this. Even after sending for repair it came back saying no issues found.

Yeah, thats really weird. I dont know why you cant disable it. I have no issues there. Maybe someone else can help you with that.
As for the charging, did you try completely draining your battery dead to the point where your phone shuts down and then fully charging it? Sometimes, that could help.

When you say 'uprooted' do you mean non rooted? I didn't have the systm update and after I rooted mine, never really had it. You can try to hve a background application running, like the music player, but paused. Though there is supposed to be an update to fix it soon.

Lets hope so!
Be patient. Toshiba has done a lot in working to resolve this issue. They asked owners, including myself, to exchange their Thrive directly with the engineering department so Toshiba could look at examples with the issue.
Based on my conversations with the Toshiba engineer, I fully expect the fix to be released within 2 weeks if not sooner.
That's great. It is an exquisite tablet. I am glad they are working so hard to fix this problem.

I had no SOD before Update and I have no one after the update.
Thrive works perfect! Go on Toshiba!!!!
Still SOD
I just downloaded the latest update today and I still have the SOD issue . I am generally a patient person when it comes to fixes on brand new devices, but after two updates I had really hoped that the problem would be solved. I am still looking around to see if there is some sort of temporary fix while they develop a more permanent solution.
I also still have the issue. In addition, I now have more random reboots (had them rarely before), laggy keyboard (was fine before), very long boot-up process, and terrible battery life.
I did a factory reset after the update, because the update put my Thrive in virtually unusable condition. I lost 4% on my battery just typing a 3 sentence reply in a forum!! I actually hoped a factory reset would roll back the update, but no such luck. It did improve battery life, although it's definitely worse than it was pre-update. And it seems to have improved the keyboard lag, as well. The boot-up is still much, much longer than it was before and the SOD and random reboots continue.
Mine is working awesome no sod no random resets seems to be fine.

Unfortunately these are still present (and high) after a full wipe and flash of the latest AOKP. Anyone else see these at the top of your wakelock list?

Well, I searched for hours, and hours for this wakelock too, and I think I finally found what it is, basically this wakelock is caused by the signal processor going berserk and waking up your phone constantly, most of the time this is caused by something disturbing it, and in that you have to think about something that could change or capture a signal in really the root and not through the official Android ways, like Viper4Android, it changes the audio kernel, this could disturb it, or automatic call recorder, this one picks out the voice signal, and this applies to almost all the sensors and signal processors
My experience with my S4A has been amazingly flawless up until yesterday, when it started experiencing one of the issues that killed my experience with the HTC One- random freezes. And what's strange about it is that they are the same type of freezes that my One experienced, only when browsing the web or using an internet based app like Pulse. It has happened 3 times since yesterday and is so bad that I've had to pull the battery to even get it to reboot. Which brings me to one of my suspicions...
The only thing that has changed between me getting the phone set up originally and when the freezes began was the fact that I started swapping batteries instead of charging the phone. Now, phone batteries nowadays are not just like your average AA cell, it has circuitry in it and NFC stuff... is it possible that a defective battery could be the culprit of my woes? I just put in my original battery and am gonna just wait and see if it happens. The other battery that I've been using is a Samsung OEM battery and not a cheap one. I did root and freeze a bunch of stuff, but nothing exotic, and it was fine until yesterday. I doubt anything I did caused this.
Has anyone else experienced any freezes like this? Help me solve this, I really want to keep this phone (at least until the next latest and greatest comes out). TIA

A couple of times now my active has become unresponsive. The power button doesn't seem to work and the home key doesn't do anything. The led is flashing blue and the battery is still about 35%. The only thing I can do is pull the battery.

battery pull

battery pull

root/etc/restore from there. check to make sure you dont have custom CPU voltage/speed mods enabled; i believe this was the initial culprit, though even after resetting them to stock it would still lock up. it only did it 3 times, and usually right after a new mod, but ONLY if CPU values were changed. after the above procedure, she redid all her cpu values but only AFTER all mods were installed, rebooted, and everything works great again.

Same problems no matter which battery. It seems to happen most when I'm using Chrome so I deleted the updates but it's still doing it. It happened while playing a game today which it's never done before. Next step is to freeze Chrome and see if that helps. If not, then I'm gonna factory reset and if that doesn't work, I'm gonna have to exchange it. I really did not want to have to deal with this. With my ridiculous work schedule I don't have the time or the energy. I might just start looking for a different phone because I'm sick of having issues like this.

My One X had issues (though my 5th one was near perfect), my iPhone 5 was horrible, both my Ones had problems, and now this. I'm just venting now but I'm seriously tired of it. I've got my eye on that new Sony i1 that's coming out in a couple months, I really love their current design choices and I've never tried a Sony before. Or maybe the next Nexus. Who knows.

Yup. Have tried factory resetting twice. Clearing cache. Disabling nearly everything possible. No avail.
Mine was draining a bit faster than normal after the update. I let it run all the way down, and charged it up, and it has been fine since then.
Hope it works out for you guys.

I posted this in the 4.4.2 issues thread, but will post here:
EAS continuously running....I found this out as well after the update. I cant believe its low priority for such a major issue. I switched mine to manual just to be safe. I also found a major battery drain issue when surfing on the internet via LTE service.
Any way, I wanted to see if others could replicate my issue:
-Stock (non-rooted) S4 phone with the recent 4.4.2 update on LTE with 5 bars of service.
-I am using Chrome to surf the internet.
-I have Exchange and Gmail accounts. Gmail is set to PUSH and exchange is set to manual. (My hope is that having Exchange set to manual I avoid the EAS issue described above.)
-Majority of the boatware turned off
Scenario: While using Chrome to surf via LTE service I am literally able to see a 1% decrease in battery ever 2-3 minutes of surfing on the internet. Wifi is better, but still drains faster than 4.3.
Can anyone else try and replicate and respond back? I may have to do a hard reset to see if it will remedy the issue. :-/
Thanks,
Eric

I have google+ at the top of the list with >30% use. Definitely new after 4.4.2 update.
Seemed to be ok for a day and then popped back up. I'm going to try to see if it's caused by 1st use of the camera.

I'm not using live wallpapers.
Rebooting the phone and avoiding use of the camera did not help.
I uninstalled all google+ updates that that has worked so far, but definitely not a long term solution.
Well I would up flashing the MK2 revert, then changed my mind and re-updated to NB1 (these two processes involved many full-wipes and even flashing a .pit file). Installed all my apps one-by-one. I'm now getting better battery life. Still higher than previous usage by Android System (usually ends up being 14-17%).
NB1 now works pretty damn well for me. Once we get root I will be able to disable some stupid things like the boot sound and charger connection sound, along with a few apps that just don't need to be running like Knox and Security Policy Updates...

Yes mine is really bad. i even lowered the brightness. like it loses 1% every two minutes even though its screen is off. I gotta get Zerolemon battery or use SetCPU. Does any other 4.4.2 devices have battery drain?
