[Update]Bluetooth Issue, freeze my TAB

hi
Im running the stock JK6 and rooted.
when Im running e.g. the liveview app my phone keeps some kind of freezing after a few minutes, first I tought it is app related but now I revieved my OBD2 scanner for my car and its just the same with the app "torque".
is this a hardware related problem or something wrong with this ROM.
did a HR several times and reflashed the ROM.
Edit: I noticed when bluetooth recieve or send data I cant get any other wireless date like on wifi or on radio.
please help
Seems to be a one time event with the data problem but the main thing keeps annoing me

Have you tried pulling the battery waiting 60 seconds placing the battery back in the phone and then rebooting?

Eh no cause on the galaxy tab the battery cant be removed

I don't Know, but if you have a Bluetooth PAN connection to the internet, then it should be not possible to have another connection to the internet. IP routing to the gateway would be confused if you could.
There are tools that "group" several separate internet connections into one virtual one.

no Im not using a bt PAN to connect the inet, only normal bluetooth data usage

Push
Just only me who is facing this annoing problem?

Same problem with OBD2 :s disable GPS reduc freeze loop. But not fully (30 minutes). Next time i will turn off Data conection.
Every time i've freeze now i see torque try reconnect to OBD2, seem like BT of SGT turned off or time out

I am having the same problem. As long as I have bluetooth turned on, it will hang the Tab within 30 min. All bluetooth connections are definitely gone. Turning off the bluetooth won't help. The only way is to reboot and never turn bluetooth on.
BTW, I have tried connecting LiveView or a normal bluetooth headset. Both cause the same problem.
I am on JK2.

It seems it is bluetooth driver conflicting with any other data connections.
Did a further testing. Disabled Wifi, but doing data communication via 3G network while turning bluetooth on. The tab hangs in a few minutes. Found a process called 'btld' sucking up all the CPU circle.
Any ideas what 'btld' is?
Thought this should not be a hardware problem because bluetooth works fine when all data connections are off and Wifi/3G data works fine when bluetooth is off. It must be some sort of default setting isn't correct. If this is the case, then root would be a must before manually tuning any parameters.

Found root cause. It is actually the SonyEricsson LiveView software causing troubles. After removing, everything goes well.
Checked on SonyEricsson's web site, it seems Froyo is yet to be supported.

try to use WO Webcam B-Lite out of market, you can open a bt connection by pressing activate and then while running, close via taskmanager, voila the freeze begun

I've got galaxy Tab and galaxy S, and torque badly freezes the devices almost every time I exit the application. It cannot be an hardware fault since I use lot of bluetooth devices and always 3g connected, never had issues. Just with torque, and I don't have any "sony liveview" thing.
Reading on the comments of Torque it seems that also other devices have the same freeze issue (especially a phone called "Evo 4G"). Many months ago I sent a mail to the developer explaining the bug but he bumped me away replying that the app is tested and working on GalaxyTab (and obviously it's not true, or he did some mistake in testing). Now lots of people with this Evo 4G are complaining and the developer is trying to fix. let's hope..

[Q] Bluetooth disconnects on WiFi connect

Hi,
when I ride my car, I usually turn on the car mode, WiFi and Bluetooth. I start at home where I am connected to my WiFi and connect the Bluetooth audio. Everywhere works fine.
But once I reach my destination where they also have WiFi the phone tries to connect to it. This causes the Bluetooth to shut down completely and only a reboot of the phone makes it possible to re-activate it.
I just started to experience this issue. Is it possibly related to the latest Android update? Does anyone know a fix?
Thank you!

Change the Wi-Fi band.
Go to Wi-Fi, click 3 dots menu, select Advanced and change the frequency band at 2.4ghz.

Hi, Thank you very much for your recommendation. The situation has improved since but I have had another two disconnects:
- once Bluetooth reconnected itself
- the second time the situation was again as described above
Any further ideas?

I'm still facing the issue in irregular patterns. Are there other possibilities than changing the WiFi band?

Try other radio maybe.
.48 seems to work fine for many users

Hi, thank you!
I just tried to find an option where to change the radio but couldn't find it. Could you please tell me where it is?
However, I discovered the "scanning always available". Does this drain the battery? If not, I could turn off WiFi in my car and always put this option instead. The only reason why I turn on WiFi in the car is to improve the GPS location and I usually turn it off cause it drains the battery when I am on campus and it keeps reconnecting to several WiFis.

Here are the radios.

Just flash through custom recovery.
And for GPS you shouldn't need Wi-Fi or other data.
Mine locks in seconds, the moment I activate the navigation.

Strange Bluetooth connectivity issue

Symptoms are independent of ROM or Bluetooth device. Forgetting and reconnecting doesn't work.
See two attached images.
1. Normal
2. Only 2 check boxes, one unchecked is phone audio and it will not allow me to check / enable it. When I do, you see a check that then goes away.
Bluetooth shows connected but can't get audio to play through any BT device.
Only solution is to reboot phone.
Any experience with this one?
EDIT: Solution found:

Same problem after Sept patch. A reboot only temporarily fixed it. I disabled both Bluetooth and WiFi scanning (WiFi probably not necessary) under location settings and it seems to have solved it for now, I can turn BT on/off, pair/unpair and it continues to function normally.
Edit: Turning airplane mode on and off would also fix it for me sometimes. But so far turning off location scanning is the only reliable solution I've found.

I have the same problem.....I noticed that when I connect from my Nexus tablet to the phone I can no longer use the headphones.. I have jaybird x2 ....I have to reboot phone. I tried Bluetooth auto connect and same thing.

Same problem, notice it after the september security update

try to install NON-HLOS.bin from latest release, this may resolve bt issues

You should reflash the Bluetooth firmware... find the correct factory firmware image (the one that exactly matches your ROM version) and flash the BTFM.bin image, in fact try flashing the entire radio firmware as shown below:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

I did flash the Bluetooth firmware but that didn't help. I did not flash the entire radio. I will try the wifi scanning option.

KUDOS - that fixed mine as well. Would never have found that setting. Thank you.

Good luck, it's been working fine for me ever since disabling BT/WiFi location scanning.

Thank you, it's working again

I'm glad I found this post. I've been working with Motorola/Lenovo support about this, with no solution.
Doing the Airplane mode on/off solve it, at least temporarily.
In my case, it started after the latest OTA (Sec patch Dec 2016) MPHS24.49.-18-16
I will feed this to Motorola (giving proper credit to XDA-Dev).
Thank you.

Thank you. :good:
This solved it for me.

BTW, I started having a issue with mine, and I haven't touched the ROM in months. Found an old thread, and did the following and it fixed mine:
Settings - Storage & USB - Internal Storage - then wait until it finishes calculating, then click Cached Data then clear cached data.
Give that a try and let others know if it fixes anything. Fixed my "May" rooted ROM.

Let me add to this bluetooth thing. I am experiencing the same as everyone else, but it also seems to be be deleting certain services for devices it connects to. For example, my phone is connect to my car's radio. When it was originally connected, I had four services available (media, phone, contact, and messages). With those services I was able to see email and text messages on the phone as well as the typical making phone calls and streaming music from my phone to the radio.
Now, when I pull up the bluetooth settings for the car, the media option is no longer available. It's not available to select at all and as a result I am unable to stream music from my phone to the car. I've turned off the scanning and have disconnected then reconnected the device with no luck. Any ideas?

Just curious, did you reboot after turning off scanning?

Yep, which leads to another issue with permissions resetting. Cleared cache as well for good measure.

Wi-fi and Bluetooth turn on and off randomly

Hey
I am guessing this is a software/app/os issue, but it is noticeable on the LG V20 thanks to the second screen.
Recently I have noticed that wifi and bt turn on while the main screen is off. When I turn the screen on, they both turn off like naughty school kids caught smoking. This is obviously when I am not using wifi or bt.
I have scoured the settings looking for something that can stop this from happening, but nothing so far. Wifi has a setting where it says, "keep wifi on while in standby", with three options, I have tried all three of them, and nothing is preventing this from happening.
I enjoy controlling these functions, and get anxious when it happens automatically. Anyone with advice?

I think I have found the solution. I had the app Firechat installed which uses Bluetooth and WiFi to transmit data to other devices. I have uninstalled it now and it seems that WiFi and bt have stopped turning on automatically.

Anyone else? My wifi will shut off after about 30 seconds and I have those same settings set to keep on. I even tried after a factory reset and still having this issue.

I have the same problem,if the Bluetooth is on I have high latency wifi and conectivity loss, this only fix if I power off the bluetooth

I am also running into this issue. The only way I can get my wifi to connect to my home router is by restarting my phone. Otherwise the rest of the time, I see a message stating that my wifi is disconnected, when it clearly was not, it was even showing me nearby routers that I could connect to, but not my own router, even when i tried to add my router manually, it could not connect. I am having the same issue with Bluetooth connections. My laptop can sometimes see my phones Bluetooth, but my car can't find it at all. I'm on AT&T H910, running on DESOLATION 7.1.2

Several weird issues

Hi there,
I have my S8 Exynox version for more than one week and I am facing some strange issues that I cannot explain and I have never experienced them with my previous phones.
I have WiFi router (2.4GHz/5GHz) running OpenWRT and S8 is disconnecting or keeping connected but losing internet access. Many times when I unlock the phone I can see that it is not connected to WiFi and just connecting or there is a message "Connected to XXXX" indicated that the connection was somehow re-initiated. It seems to be more stable if I remove 5GHz network connection but still not reliable.
This is even more strange. When I enable WiFi on S8 and let it connect I am facing network connection dropouts on my LAN not only on WiFi but even on cable. I am listening network radio and the sound disappears randomly and the issue is gone if I disable WiFi on S8. Sometimes I even have to restart the router.
Settings changes randomly. I was navigating with Waze and there was no speed indication. I stopped and found out that it was disabled in settings although it was enabled my previous drive. And another time LTE was suddenly disabled. There was 3G/2G selected in Connection -> Mobile network -> Mode.
I am using Dropsync to synchronize several Dropbox folders with my phone. One of them is synchronized to Share folder in local storage. Yesterday I found out that there is some sync problem in Dropsync and it turned out that Share folder is not existing. Some process has obviously deleted that folder. Could it be that I run optimization in device maintenance?
I am using Nova launcher with Morena icon theme. I have selected some icon for Samsung calendar to have is consistent with the icon theme but it randomly changes to stock icon during the night.
It forgot BT pairing with my Garmin Forerunner. I had to pair them again.
I have enabled volume sync when I connected my JayBird earbuds for the first time but it was disabled again few days ago.
Does anybody else have issues like this?

Experienced the WiFi issues in the beginning too, it doesn't kill my ping any more at least not majorly and it seems to have stopped not being able to connect to my router properly. Can't say anything about the rest.

And how did you solve the WiFi issue?

I didn't, it resolved with time, it did seem to stop after rebooting my router one last time but I doubt that's it as I already did that once and the issue happened again.
