Bluetooth switching off at a particular location - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

.. That's how I would like to being this
This should be a singe for those in the know. After getting my S7E G935FD, I made some changes to the settings and can barely recall changing the Bluetooth option to be switched off when am at home.
I have't used any third party app. for this. This is embedded somewhere in the settings, is all I remember, but don't know exactly where.
Have searched high and low, in and out, here and there, but the option can't be found anywhere (poetic, i know )
Need help in disabling the same, as my BT headset keeps disconnecting when I reach home. Its really annoying. :silly:
Thanks in advance.

Try looking at the my places edge panel.

Bluetooth 3.0 HS

I realised there wasn't much of a difference in speed when sending files through 3.0 HS as apposed to 3.0, I tested this by sending files to my brothers galaxy s2 and didn't notice any difference in speed. But then I hurd wifi needs to be activated aswel in order to use bluetooth with HS? Is this true? And if so do both devices need to be connected to the same wifi network? Thanks.

I have a Samsung notebook and the wifi and blutooth 3.0 are integrated into the same card on my model and share the same antenna.
I find that my blutooth transfer rate is a lot higher with the wifi disabled when i am using the bluetooth , I think it was 250kb/s or something.
I just came across this video on youtube which compares 3.0 with 3.0 HS on the galaxy s2, altho I dont understand it cus its in japanese lol but I can make out the one with bluetooth HS is the one with wifi turned on and its much faster than the one without wifi on. Just hope you don't have to be on the same network in order for it to work.

Prob uses wifi direct to some extent since SGS2 supports it
Well I just got hold of my brothers gs2 again and tried sending the same file but with wifi on this time, it worked. before it took around 20 seconds to send this music file (9mb) and now with wifi on it takes just under 5 seconds, and you don't have to be connected to any wifi network, the wifi just needs to be switched on which is a good thing if you want to send files to friends when your out.

Very helpful thank you, I'd been trying to get my head around this bt 3 stuff for about an hour now then found this.
It's not obvious you'd need wifi on form the tiny book samsung provided.
Thanx a lot for this info man... was not getting the expected results before...
Hey no problem guys.. Having to turn the wifi on is a bit daft i know lol how on earth is a layman suppose to know that? Lol i met a friend on the bus the other day and he's also got the gs2, and he's very happy with it. He works in the Orange mobile retail shop so he thinks he knows the crack, As he was sending me a video he was boasting about the Bluetooth speed being so quick, telling me its got the newest Bluetooth technology in it lmao funny thing is he didn't even have wifi on and he works in a mobile phone shop. After he sent me the video which took about 5mins i turned on wifi on both phones and sent him the video back. It took around 40seconds, he was shocked lol he thought my phone sent files quicker because it was on a newer firmware lolol.

Wifi connectivity problems

Im having trouble staying connected to wifi at home, it stays connected as long as im in the living room close to the router but when i go into the bed room which is about 20ft away it disconnects and then reconnets several times. The router connection is 5ghz and only me and my wife use it.

First, make sure you've turned off "Auto Network Switch" in the advanced section of Wi-Fi settings (go to Wi-Fi settings and press the menu key and select advanced).
Second, turn off WiFi Power Save mode in the ServiceMenu. Go here for directions.
I done what you said i entered the codes you said to enter on my dial pad and it didnt bring up anything no services menus...nothing. but i did go to wifi and then advance and unchecked the box you said to uncheck and waited to see if it would kick me off and it did it still kicks me off wifi while im in my bed room.

If you're rooted, you'll need to go to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu....
Open the HiddenMenu file in a text editor and change OFF to ON
Maintaining capitalization of the word ON
Save file.
Then reboot. Try those dialpad codes again.

Dial pad codes worked like a charm went in and changed the band to B4Enabled*. Now im gonna hang out in my room for awhile and see if i get kicked off my wifi. Thanks a bunch for you help i just hope this works oh and yes i went to text editor and then carrier and deleted OFF and replaced it with ON then restarted my device then went back into carrier to make sure it saved and all is good. Just hop it fixes my problem. Thanks again.
Now i need to tryn figure out how to make my call signal better....lots and lots of fun this phone is
When it kicked me off before it took awahile before it would connect back. While in the process of typing i got kicked off but connected back veryfast. Strange because im only about 15ft or so away from the router. I have noticed a big difference though, before my bars would fluxuwait from 1 bar to 5b now it usually stays at 5.
Anyother suggestions i can try
Go into your router settings and check/change the frequency(2.4-5) and the broadcast channel to match what the phone is using
Turns off the power save mode worked for me. Thanks. Now I don't want to flash to a custom to anymore. Thanks.

I just upgraded my wifi from 3megs up to 12 megs. Im still having trouble downloading files that are 1g and up. I downloaded speed test.net and checked my down & up down reads 10.92m and up reads 2.23m but when im downloading a file say its 1.25g it slows waaaay down to like .94m is it supposed to do do that? Im the only one connected to my wifi at the moment.

12mb/s is a pretty slow speed. It's going to take a long time to download it. When you're downloading a file the speed you see is Mb/s not mb/s. Megabytes and megabits are a lot different.
AT&T service person came out today and upgraded my internet, from 3megs to 12megs. I asked the tech how fast it would download a 2g movie his answer was, " it should take about 15 mins at the most". Wireless is just a f#@$in scam the co$k [email protected]$!ers will tell you anything so they can get ypur money! The highest they offer in my area is 12megs funny thing about 15 miles from where i live they offer 50megs. Its just a rip off!! Im feed up EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD IS A MONEY RACKET...MONEY MONEY MONEY......IM SOOO PISSED

Low Frequency Beep During Calls

Is anyone else having any issues with the speaker when they are making calls on there S5? Whenever I'm talking with someone on the phone every 4 or 5 seconds I hear a low frequency beep the lasts about 1.5-2 seconds and then it goes away... After another 4 or 5 seconds it does it again. I really hope it's a software issue as I don't want to send my new phone in for a repair already.

I will have to try contacting Samsung about the problem. I will let you know what they say. I doubt target would do a straight exchange on the device.

Try disabling CARRIER IQ or removing it if you are rooted and then check for the beep afterwards see if it's gone and let us know what your results.

Well if you are not rooted go into settings then backup and reset and then collect diagnostics and uncheck it and this theoretically turns it off, now if you are rooted you can install root explorer open it up make sure that you are mounted as rw then search the root directory for carrier iq and delete it this removes it from the device.

I have the exact same problem and it annoys the **** out of me when I'm talking on the phone. I'd just love to get an answer why this is happening or just get rid of the problem..
I still haven't found a solution for it.. going to have a look into the carrier iq thing.. any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

The first thing I did was disable carrier iq when I got my s5 and after seeing this post I made a call to check for the noise and I dont hear it so maybe the carrier iq thing is the ticket.

Sorry.. but what exactly do you mean by "disable carrier iq"? Cause I'm a real newbie when it comes to doing administrative stuff to your phone...
I also thought that it maybe could be worth Factory reseting your phone? But I've got a lot of settings and stuff that I don't want to do again.. but if it's really needed I'll do it.

I tried that. But I'm afraid it did not work.. The annoying sound is still active. But the weird thing is that sometimes and on some calls it's occures very often and being annoying as hell.. and then again it can be off for like another call that lasts 30min+.. I hope that it's the phones own speaker that's broken or something..
Haha I hope you're wrong.. I really hope it's related to carrier iq

Yeah. I tried all of them regular settings. Minutebeep, noise reduction etc.. The sound kept going. But I also noticed that when I connected my headphones and talked trough them that there was no annoying sound.. so I guess it's something with the phones own speaker.
But I put the phone on service today after 11 days of usage... lol. Hope they'll fix it!
I don't hear the issue when I'm using bluetooth in my car either. That being said I'm pretty sure it's a issue with the speaker in the phone. Time to swap it out for another device!

So Undergrad.. are you really swapping it in for another phone? They actually gave me that option.. but I kind of said no.. I just wanted my phone to work 100%.. maybe it was a stupid choice..

Target is ordering me a new device and hopefully it resolves the issue. It certainly appears that the issue is with the speaker.

Many people have this thing bugging them for months or weeks now..
Either use any rom NON TOUCHWIZ.
Or just go to Application Manager-->All-->com.sec.android.sviewcover
And turn it off a few times..like 3-4 times by going there again and again..
This problem will be solved.
In addition..open the back cover..and you cane remove the screw named L1.
This has been a solution for many too.
Plus there is also an Xposed Module for this..Magnet Off.

I have had Samsung replace the mainboard and screen without fixing the problem.
I found that setting mobile network to WCDMA only fixed the problem permanently for me.
When on EDGE and gaming our using BBM I would get the sview clocks flash intermittently.
