Hey there everyone, I have a 16 GB version in my pocket and i'm using it for 10 months, from yesterday my bluetooth toggle just have been stocked. it doesn't turn on anymore, and I'm always on my bluetooth headphones so it is on my nerves badly...i tried 3rd party apps to turn the bluetooth on, but they just stop at "turning bluetooth on" and nothing changes. i've reset network setting and nothing changed, i used to turn on safe mode and still the same problem. Is there any way to fix it out rather than factory reset? or anyone is sure that a factory reset would fix it?
my phone is not rooted. and is on nougat.
thanks

You can try to clear cache within stock recovery.
Nothing changes with cache clearance....

im having trouble turning on my bluetooth. It wont turn on at all... ive tried turning it on from the Comm Manager and nothing.. i tried it from Settings>Connections>Bluetooth>Mode and clicked on turned on and it still did not turn on.... can somebody help me!?!?!?!
have you replaced your stock comm manager with a new one?
no.. the only i have done to my phone is change the pagepool to 4 MB
i tried pairing my phone with another phone and it said something about error with bluetooth hardware... what can that mean?
I've never had much luck with any bluetooth stuff. Even using headsets has always been a pain in the ass, so I don't use it much... so I dunno.
thanx for tryin to help... im thinkin bout callin it in
try hard resetting your phone before you do anything.
Im sure you know this, but make sure you are not plugged into your computer when you are turning bluetooth on. For whatever reason, it wont let you do both at the same time.
you can try that ^^^^ or you chould try the hard reset, even with the hard reset the page pool will remain the same
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.
When i was using 4.2.2 the wifi timer worked fine, i had it set to come on at a certain time and off, and it worked fine
Since updating to 4.3 i have set the same timer again (as i done a clean install of 4.3) and now every time it gets to the on time, i get a notification saying the wifi timer has started but the wifi it's self doesn't come on, when i look at my short cut tabs at the top the wifi one if off, even after the wifi timer says its started.
is this a known issue?

Hi.
I don't think this a known issue.
I'm using it myself and it works good in 4.2 and 4.3.
Does yr WIFI on yr device working without the timer?
Yes the Wi-Fi is working fine when I put it in myself, the timer just doesn't seem to be working in my phone, when it gets to the on time, I get a notification saying that the timer has come on but when I bring the notification bar down the Wi-Fi isn't turned on.

Strange..
U might want to re-install the firmware again.
Make sure to do clean wipe, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache before reinstalling.
Other that that, some 3rd party apps u had installed might have prevented the WIFI timer to be activated (some apps are poorly made by the developers).
This is all I can I think of.
Hope that this may help u.

thanks for your replies, ive done a bit more testing with it and have found that if i have my phone on when the timer comes on then the wifi does connect, its when the flip case is closed and the phone screen is off it doesnt seem to come on.
also i have also found that everytime the timer comes on i get a security message saying an application attempted to access system on your device, this has been blocked..
the wifi timer is the built in one though and not a 3rd part app, so not sure why thats saying that.

Ok, that is normal when the screen is off, mate..
I read somewhere here that the security message is kinda bug by Samsung...
btw, are u using the original firmware?
If so, u will get that message.
Yes I'm using the original non rooted Rom, when I was 4.2.2 my Wi-Fi would also come on by timer even if the screen was off, that's why I was confused by it not coming on in 4.3
When in 4.2 I was using a rooted version, but decided to go official with 4.3
if i download the original fw and reinstall it with odin, will it wipe my apps / settings or will it keep them the same?

Hi all, I wonder if any of you have seen issues with bluetooth turning off? It seems random, it will stay on all morning on my desk at work, I go out to the car and it turns off. I've even had it turn off in the middle of a conversation (via bluetooth) in my car.
Any places I can check for stuff that has permissions to BT or anything like that?
I can wipe it but I'd rather not.
Anyway thanks for your time.

I have the same issue and after looking extensively for a solution, I found out that this is a problem with the Nexus 6P - many, many, users have had this issue. I have tried to wipe the cache partition, delete all pairings and even a factory reset but nothing had resolved the issue.

Ahh, bloody thing eh?
OK mate, thank you very much. I'll try one of those tasker type apps that will be set to keep the BT on.
Thanks mate.
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!
