Hello I have a rooted Galaxy S5. My bluetooth was working fine as of yesterday now today when I go to turn it says turning on and then just goes back to off...the only thing I've done as of late is edited a system file to allow write capabilities to the SD card and installed pandora patcher...please let me know if you have any suggestions to a fix...thanks!
Ps I've tried reboot, clearing cache, and taking the battery out

I'm actually experiencing the same problem.
I don't know how long it's been going on, as I typically don't use BT. I'm experiencing the same symptoms as the OP - I try to turn it on - it tries to come on - then goes back off.
I've disabled much of the bloatware, so I opened TiBu to see if there's anything that I've frozen that might cause BT issues. None of them would seem to cause the BT issues I'm experiencing.
Any ideas for me/us to try?

How did you get this fixed, I'm having the same problem: Edited file to allows 3rd party apps to write to the SD card, but had issue so reverted to backup file I created prior to editing original. But BT still not functioning even after numerous reboots.
same here
Same problem here. I noticed bluetooth stoped working after installing juice defender. Dont know if thats the cause. But clearing cache, factory reset, uninstalling apps, etc. Hasnt worked.I read where someone reflashed in odin and it worked. Will an odin flash void knox or my warranty? Sprint galaxy s5 rooted. Stock rom
Same problem here...
I have done factory reset, clean wipe via recovery and reinstalled rom.
Still the Bluetooth acts as if it is goona turn on but does not.
Problem fixed but at a cost
I had the same problem thats being discussed in here.
I was rooted with stock rom on the latest build NK2, I also modified the xml file so I could write to the ExtSdCard and it didnt work so I put it back to original and somehow my bluetooth got messed up after that. I would attempt to turn on but would only go back to off.
What I did was I unrooted by going into CF SU settings and chose the unroot option, I flashed the stock nk2 firmware and did a factory reset and that got bluetooth working for me again.
I'm going to stay unrooted until lollipop drops for Verizon S5.
Hope this helps somehow.

Having a few problems, very sluggish and buggy at times. The alarm doesnt work, whatever the alarm is set for the clock will just skip over that time, never seen that. Slow to respond when making calls. Play store doesnt really work, says downloading apps but will never actually finish the download and install anything. Any ideas at this point???
NB1 firmware
Reset it!

I really think you should try resetting it to factory default and try downloading the apps again. If its sluggish at times, there must be something you have installed on the phone. Is it rooted?
What ROM are you running? Stock Kernel? As the previous poster suggested, FACTORY RESET and see what happens.
Yes, you'll loose everything on the phone, but it's a small price to pay.....

Since its completely stock, yes you have to reset it. Factory Reset but not from the settings. I have been in the same situation before and I tried resetting it from the Recovery Mode which eventually helped.
Backup all your contacts, media files from your devices storage, S Notes (if not backed up by your Samsung account and other important files from the storage. If using a SD card in the phone, do backup ur media and just format it from your PC. Then reinsert it in the phone, turn the phone on using Recovery Mode (Vol Up + Home Btn + Power Btn) and Clear/erase the cache and then reset it. Turn the phone on if it doesnt automatically, set it up according to yourself and voila it would eventually work. Format ur SD Card using ur phone now and move all your data back in.
the problem I see is that there must be something unwanted and it installed on the device which causes various issues just like a virus. I hope this will help you out. I have done it on S4, S3 , Note 2 and Galaxy Grand and it did help me and my friends out. The same problem was there to deal with. Try it! Let us know if it worked.
Hi everyone,
i am having a SM-G900F (it is t-mobile). It is on stock lollipop LRX21T.G900FXXU1BNL9 with modem and bootloader BOB7 (which i flashed a week ago).
I have problems since the last 2-3 days, my phone is connected to a working WiFi or mobile data and everything seems alright, but it isn't, i don't have any internet access. I have to turn of WiFi or mobile data and turn it on and eventually it starts working again :S
Does anyone has an idea what the problem may cause and how should i fix it? Thanks in advance
EDIT: Also if i take out the battery of my phone and turn it on afterwards, it turns off but with a black screen, and i get a "System fc", and i have to try to turn it on a few times to get it work like it should, but if i turn off the phone without taking out the battery it turns on just fine everytime
First thing Id try is clearing CACHE from Recovery
Did you factory reset after updating to Lollipop from KK? It is needed to get rid of left over bugs / files from KK

When i bought the phone (used) it already had lollipop on it. I tried clearing cache+dalvik cache but still the same, but didn't tried a factory reset, right now i am downloading a custom rom, will wipe everything and see what happens after that.
Some strange thing that i noticed is, that the internet now won't work for any app escept for viber, on viber it works without problems
Right now i have flashed another ROM with wipe-ing everything before and i have still problems with the internet :S
i don't know what do to now :/
EDIT: Data is working, but wifi connects but no internet :/
EDIT2: I've found out what the problem is, it wasn't my phone, it was some weird virus which changed my routers DNS settings
So, I have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle I however think I can get out of it by sideloading using EXT. SD, Im not sure what to flash to solve the dillemma however. So this is the situation. I have a (had) a rooted Galaxy s4 (sgh-i337 ucufnc1) with 4.4.2 android. It had safestrap installed and back ups of everything else in sd card and other locations just in case. The phone was acting buggy, so I formatted the phone with safestrap, the problem persisted, ill get into the issue a bit further down. So I booted back into safestrap, and did a complete wipe, however my sd card must've bumped out, because it didnt delete any media files or so it said, and then after the wipe it crashed. and refuses to boot into safestrap or even past the splash logo. I can get into download mode, but usb debugging isnt on anymore since i wiped it, I can get into the other mode as well ( cant for the life of me remember the name of it atm although i use it frequently) with some luck. I also happen to have all .md5 files from a backup i did about 4 months ago in tact, I cannot for the life of me get them to convert properly to apply them to the phone without safestrap however, if anyone has any insight to this please let me know also.
I can/will list any other information I have if anyone needs it, and if anyone can help it would safe a life!
The reason i reformatted it to begin with, was because media would stall, and when i plugged in the audio jack it'd freeze the entire app using it, then the whole phone would freeze. I believe it was due to lucky patcher but im unsure. The issue began when I altered the auto update file, and even after i rectified it, it persisted. At this time i have a phone soft bricked because it didnt delete all the media files and I assume something bugged onto the kernel image but Im not sure. If I can simply try to restore it to stock kernel then im fine with that.

UPDATE: I resolved the issue, by rooting, safestrapping, ripping the image files, from another galaxy s4 with alike descriptions. then i managed to side load it, then it booted properly, i then reformatted it completely back to 100% factory everything. Now my original problem persists, and i cant help feel that google services is causing it. (examnples of issues" proccess.gapps has stopped. anotrher process error code. phone calls can be made, but not recieved as it seems the server is too busy to n otice it, massive battery drain, audio takes several seconds to play, while video continues to play fine, audiojack is mostly unresponsive, phone calls that are made cannot recieve or send audio during call session, phone may freeze at unlock screen, or any time during operation, may even reboot from process overloading" now keep in mind. i removed every system file and app that the natural reformat will allow. so nothing applied by the user is on the phone, other than natural factory applications. Im digging a bit into the phone as i can but its a slow process whenit starts freezing. if anyone has any idea of what can be causing this, or how to fix this please inform me lol.

The best solution must be installing the stock firmware via odin. Since you are on NC1 , You can installed the stock NB1.
Here is guide explaining you using odin, installing NB1, root with towel root, updated NC1, install the safestrap. The guide was not specifically written for that but you can find those steps in the guide.
I will attempt to do this, since nothing since has work. I am about to get a new logic board for the system in the next 2 weeks. Towel root DOES typically work on this system, however the last time I attmpted it it failed to work outright. Im not sure what has changed with the device, but i believe reflashing stock is the best method. The phone now, will boot up, then skip the lock screen and go straight to the home screen, which is black with no pull down bar, or with no signal and there is no way to rectify it. Even if there were, it boots back down and launches back up and becomes locked at the ATT logo.
After a fair bit of messing with it, and recovery mode it will sometimes boot normally where it tells me that processes has failed and askes me to cancel the ''app''. This is the best option to update the phone and attempt root, but getting it here is so difficult because it reboots itself and the mode is rare to acquire. This problem either is due to the kernel, or the rom i believe. I also am to believe the powercell may have some issue, as i replaced the battery a few weeks back and it worked fine for about 1 week.
Booting into safemode doesnt work either as it skips over the lock screen straight to the home screen. Outsidce of replacing the logic board, or attempting another flash im at the end of the short rope i was already on in terms of options.

UPDATE: I found therein two methods to flashback to stock. I did so, then proceeded to attempt to flash from nb1 to nj4. Progress stopped there when it flung an error 7 at me. So this means either something in my phone is corrupted or the file i downloaded from the above mentioned forum is corrupted. I also attempted flashfire, but seen as it STILL crashes at random due to process errors thats almost impossible to attempt.
This is on two standard Galaxy S5's, with standard ROM, etc - not rooted, or anything else.
Every time I turn off WiFi, or enable Mobile Hotspot, I get 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped'.
To fix I have to Power off/on the phone.
(Turning on WiFi is no problem, just turning it off.)
I have gone into 'Safe Mode', and same issue, so it looks to not be a bad App.
I have also uninstalled 'Google' updates, and again no change...
Any thoughts?
All of a sudden my S5 showed the exact same error message for no aparent reason... I didn't do anything, and now I can't use my phone at all because of that bug. It happens on every boot so I can't even unlock my phone. Tried reinstalling everything, ROM, recovery, kernel, with/without root = still same, what just happened here??
EDIT: Same thing if I'm in Safe Mode -_-
Seeing noone knows a solution here's what I did yesterday.
1. Backed up all my stuff from internal storage to the sd card
2. Did factory reset in TWRP recovery
3. Flashed completely stock official firmware from Samsung
4. Waited for it to boot up and try to restore some of my settings (it restored all folders on their places, made same amount of home screens as I had before the reinstall and downloaded all of my previously installed apps from the Play Store, ofcourse without the cracked ones, and it also restored most apps' data as well so it's not as bad as you may think to factory reset and reinstall everything)
5. Started rooting, flashing TWRP again, installing Dolby Audio, Xposed and everything I had before, took me one full day to set it up as it was before.
Now when I set it up I always make a nandroid backup from when things are working fine, in case it goes crazy for no reason again... Good luck!
when the wifi radio is acting weird, a dirty flash of your current ROM susually fixes is as its probably a radio issue. Id do that before doing anything drastic like the boot-n-nuke Odin flash and starting from scratch (which will fix that issue)
I don't think I have a ROM issue, as I have two S5's, and both have the same issue... and both are standard ROMs.
I will do a factory re-set on one at some point, but this looks to be a 'simpler' issue.
I have tried a full Cache delete, as well as other 'clean' processes.
Nothing works.
I tried to re-flash my stock ROM as @youdoofus said but still had that annoying popup. Try everything you can think of, if all else fails, reset.

well, you can wipe cache, and dalvik 3x each (not kidding about the 3x each), then dirty flash the rom, pray to the gods of android, reboot. If failure occurs, its Odin Nuke time unless you want to try to flash an individual radio file by itself (not recommended)
Hello people of the world,
after reading a lot of posts here I still can't fix my phone's issues, so I need to post. Bear with me...
I have an N910F which was entirely stock and functioning without problems. Two days ago I accepted the official update. After that, the phone regularly lost connection to the mobile net, froze, and restarted. It would work for a short while until it froze and restarted again and again. When I tried to use the camera, the live picture was completely distorted. The phone crashed and has then gone into a bootloop.
I pulled the battery, did a recovery start and wiped the cache. No difference. Factory recovery next, no difference.
I have since tried several stock and custom firmwares, always taking care to follow instructions and use the correct bootloaders, modems, etc. TWRP is working.
When I flash a stock firmware, it will go into a bootloop. With any custom ROM, it will crash during startup (logo) and switch off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Protect the eMMC?
So, after more reading I began to suspect that the eMMC had moved on to the valhalla of electronics. Sent my phone to service where my suspicion was confirmed. Luckily, they were able to replace the chip without having to put in a new board.
Is there any way to prevent this kind of failure again, or at least make it less likely?
Yes this is a known issue after latest update you could you install only one application called wakelock so that your phone doesn't reboot and CPU keeps awake

Thanks! I had read about that.
Got my phone back from service today, they had flashed stock 5.0.1. After checking that it worked I flashed RR 5.8.4 and installed Wake Lock Powermanager. I searched for a comprehensive tutorial on what the settings do and which to use. Right now I set it to PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK (4) but I'd like to read more about it. Any tips on that?

installing power wakelock and setting up on partial wake lock is enough.if you get trouble in starting your phone remove its battery and put your phone in refrigerator for five min.and try to start your phone.this problem also related and happens after the latest update
