I recently started Bluetooth to transfer some files to another phone and could not get the file to transfer. Since doing this I have not been able to turn off Bluetooth on my Aria (the sending phone). I am running stock 2.1, rooted.
Could Bluetooth be still trying to send the file and therefore not shutting off? Is there any way of fixing this or has anyone ever heard of this problem before? Would clearing the dalvik cache fix this w/o loosing all of my data and settings? What would clearing the cache partition do anyway?
I have tried rebooting several time with no luck. Any suggestions are welcome.

You can try clearing the cache and dalvik cache, you won't lose any settings or data or anything like that. It also may be worth your while to look at what services are running (settings > applications > services (<- that was off the top of my head, could be a little different)) and see if you can stop the bluetooth service.
That's what I would do if i were in your situation.
Well, still no solution. I've tried clearing the dalvik and cache partitions, tried killing all of the processes related to bluetooth. When I try to uncheck the Bluetooth setting in wireless and networks it says "turning off..." removes the icon from the notification bar and then stops but never updates the menu item to "Turn on...". It is stuck at "turning off...". I'll have to scan for it with another phone to see if it is indeed off. Very odd. It may be time for 2.2 liberated.

I'm having the same issue here on my HTC Desire running froyo. Any solutions?
Here is what worked for me. I am rooted. I have bloat freezer installed. Had bluetooth share frozen. This morning I accidentally hit bluetooth widget instead of wifi. Bluetooth would not turn off just as OP described. I defrosted bluetooth share, powered off and back on, turned off bluetooth thru settings instead of trhu widget. And it worked. Off now. My theory is freezing bluetooth share had something to do with it but I'm no expert.
Hello, today my LG G2 D800 began to act strangely.
When Data or Wifi is turned on, it crashes and gets stuck in a boot loop indefinitely.
When data or wifi is turned off, everything works fine.
I do not know what would cause this problem. I booted to safe mode to see if it's an installed application, but it still crashes when data is turned on.
I did not drop the phone or have any other physical damage.
I am running 4.4.2.
Any help is appreciated. I googled about this problem, and nothing similar comes up.
I suddenly encountered this issue today after recording a voice memo.
Straight after accepting it, my phone started into a reboot loop. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure it out, even tried to get into the recovery mode without success.
It wasn't until I started turning things off, wifi data sync etc that the phone started operating again.
One by one i turned them back on again and it turns out that it was the auto sync causing the reboot.
Currently it's off and I'm writing this on it, but I would like to turn it back on again.
Any ideas?
I have same issue. Just started today. As soon as phone starts to auto synch it reboots. Switching off wifi or data links stopped this until I could disable auto synch in settings. I think its something to do with the new Google update. This really sucks!!!
Same happens to me also i am running a 442g on lg g2 d802 since yesterday evening bam autosync got screwed
Wow, I disabled autosync, and then turned on data and it's fine.
Thanks for recognizing this. Who would have thought that it could be that?
Now that we have recognized the problem, how do we resolve it?
Clearing all data of the Google App resolves the boot loop issue.

It looks like clearing all data of the Google App seems to resolve the boot loop issue.
However, what looks like a sync icon is constantly on, the battery seems to run out faster and the phone is warmer.
In the Settings go to Apps
Find and select Google App in one of the columns
Select Manage space then Clear all data
Enable sync, connect to the internet and check if this resolves the issue
Delete and return google account to resolve on-going sync issue
As described by user webfrank in a post titled "g2 d802 reboots when sync enabled" at Android Central (as a new user I cannot post links) in order to resolve the on-going sync issue perform the following steps:
Delete Google account
Clear data from the Google App, Google Play services, and Google services Framework
Reboot device
Reconfigure the Google account
Hmm, is there no other way to resolve this problem?
Why do I need to delete my google account and readd my google account?
What do I do if I have multiple google accounts added? Do I need to remove them all?

I found that clearing data from various Google apps was not enough to resolve the continuous sync issue, while disconnecting the phone from the Google account is not such a big nuisance.
For the past few days, my BT setting keeps turning itself off every few hours. Once it happens, it then continues to turn itself off immediately each time I re-enable it. After an hour or so, it recovers and lets me turn it back on (until the next time a few hours later).
The phone is completely stock (APK1), never rooted, no 3rd-party power-saving, task-managing, or security apps ever installed, no power-saving modes turned on. It does not help to clear the system cache or the Bluetooth Share cache. Closing all open apps does not help. Rebooting sometimes helps temporarily, sometimes not even temporarily. I haven't seen the problem when I reboot in Safe Mode, so either it's caused by an app (I have hundreds), or else I just didn't leave it in Safe Mode for long enough for the problem to reappear. I have not recently installed any apps or made any settings changes. I've searched online and come across many suggestions but none are applicable and successful here.
Is there a system log somewhere that would tell me what is turning off the BT setting?

Wouldn't that delete all my WiFi passwords? I find several online mentions of people who unsuccessfully tried Reset Networks to solve BT problems, and no mentions of it being successful.

Try one more thing : Settings-> Applications-> in right top corner you have 3 dots, press and choose Show System Apps
scroll to Bluetooth share , click on it then click on Storage and Clear Data. go back and do same with Bluetooth Test.
Thanks, but that didn't help either. I found the culprit, though: the Walgreens app. When I force-stop it and then turn on BT, BT stays on. As soon as I start the app again, BT turns off. And I now see many other user reports of this problem, going back a couple of months.
It's annoying that without the user's knowledge or consent, Android gives an app unnecessary permission to turn BT off. What's worse is that there's no easy way to identify who turned it off.

There is an app in the store called App Brain Ad Detector.
After you install it you can scan all your installed apps and it will break down all permissions given to each app, show which ad network, etc. It is very useful!
Also after it is installed when you install a new app it will report if it does things not normal.. IE it would probably have caught that BT permission!
Hi, its my first time writing here, but not using this forum.
First of all, sorry if my english is not good enough.
I have a Nexus 6P stock, without root or anything. This week I installed Android 7.1.2 from google beta program, after that, I was having draining battery issue, so, I checked the battery usage and discover that the Wi-Fi never stop, then, after reading on some blogs about this problem and found that I should go to WiFi setting and disable some option in "keep wifi on sleep", however, when i click on setting key, always appear this messages "Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping". Things I did:
1) Disable Wi-Fi, try clicking on setting key - still the problem
2) Restart on safe mode - still the problem
3) clean the cache from recovery mode - still the problem
Any other suggestions without restoring the cell phone?
Thanks in advance

Hi... The gear icon force close... It's a bug in this beta version, nothing you should worry about.
However, I have no idea for your battery drain...

Have You tried with - Settings - Location - press the 3 dots - Scanning - And disableing everything there ?
So...if I can't access the wifi settings is there any way to disable the wifi optimization or otherwise prevent it from dropping a wifi connection that it detects has no internet?

Unfortunately the only thing that usually fixes that is a factory reset. And if that doesn't work it's a ROM issue. Even though it's a stock ROM it happens.
Your best bet is probably a factory reset at this point. Usually if Settings or another system app is crashing on Stock, something is pretty messed up. You could either opt out of the beta and it will wipe/downgrade for you, or you can download a factory image from Google and install it manually if you're so inclined.
I have the same issue on my s6 after it updated to Nougat. Settings crashes every time if I try to open wifi, no matter what. Already wiped system cache and started in safe mode, but the problem is still there. Has anybody figured out a solution to this?

I tried everything except factory reset, which I don't want to do yet.
I have this problem but I'm running Nougat on a stock "International" Samsung Galaxy S7.
I've tried factory resetting which fixed the issue for a while, but now it's come back.
Possible Fix Found!

I may have found a possible fix for this issue. Head over to this Android Central Thread where I've been discussing the issue with some other people.
Good luck!
Before updating I had the dolby app disabled. After the update it was still disabled but the service seemed to be running because it was affecting the audio quality, so I re-enabled it, turned off the dolby processing, and when I was about to disable the app back I got my first reboot. After it went on again I was able to disable it. Started playing some music to check if it was disabled and got another reboot. Now every once in a while happens. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Maybe try to force stop Dolby app then erase data and try again.
For now seems you're the only with this problem
Sent from my Motorola moto g(6) plus using XDA Labs
Made a factory reset, didn't disable anything and I have got at least two random reboots. How can I get a logcat of what happened before the reboot?
[EDIT] Found that the random reboots only happens when I'm at the office, connected to a hidden unmetered WPA2-protected Wi-Fi network.

You run Catlog app (for example) and wait for the reboot. If it's plain that it only happens with that Wi-Fi connection, then just run Catlog, connect to WiFi, boom. Check logs afterwards
Has anyone found a solution?
I'm having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution? I already factory reset the phone, but the random reboots persists, and it's only when connected to my home router, it never occurs when wifi is off, and hardly when connected to other APs, wich is very strange.
My device is RETBR, I'm not rooted and never unlocked my bootloader.
Thought about reflash the rom, but i don't see how it would help.
Workaround
Hi, just updating this thread because I maybe have found a workaround. After I installed Blokada, witch uses a VPN, the phone stoped rebooting when connected to my home WiFi. Probably the VPN changes the way Android connects to the internet thus solving the problem. Blokada isn't a real VPN service, it only uses the API to creat a way to block adds, so other apps that uses VPN like that (1.1.1.1, intra, etc) should work as well.
This is a really weird bug, that onky happens in some specific conditions. I didn't found to much people reporting this, but if someone is having the same issue, I hope this "solution" could help.
Have you tried reflash to Oreo Stock?
Maybe after flash Oreo Stock your cellphone working fine.
