Unable to turn on bluetooth sometimes? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't seen anybody create a thread about this, but has anyone not been able to enable their bluetooth without rebooting their device? I'll hit the bluetooth toggle in the settings and it just shots off right away. I'm not exactly sure what's causing it but I'm hoping that it's just a software issue since I use A2DP to listen to music.
EDIT: I performed a Factory Reset, I'll let you guys know if this problem still occurs.

Yeah same here, had that a while ago.. it happened after I used bluetooth for a while then switched it off, and then when I tried switching it on again after about 10-15 mins it wouldnt switch on. Had to reboot before it worked again..
Hope there's a software fix soon!

Bump

This happened to me a few times with my galaxy nexus. Haven't had an issue with the N4 yet.

Would you recommend a factory reset?

I've had this happen occasionally on my N4, have to reboot in order to enable BT again. I'm guessing a software bug to be fixed in a future update. I doubt a factory reset will cure the problem.

Had this happen yesterday. I figured it was the nfc tag getting triggered too many times in the car mount? Simple reboot fixed it though.

I'm really hoping that this is just a software issue. I really don't want to RMA again. I actually have a Nexus 4 with a perfect screen.

I just experienced this problem as well. It was really annoying. Even toggling airplane mode wouldn't even work. On reboot, my bluetooth was already on though.

It's looking like a software problem. I wonder if people are experiencing this on CM10.

happens to me to. BT won't come on and need to reboot phone to fix issue.
i only use BT while driving as my music streams from the N4.
It's prob a software bug. i wonder if there's a service that we could kill that may get it to work again with rebooting.

Same here. Reboot fixes the issue for me.

First issue with my N4 I've experienced is this - happened just now and came looking to see if I was the only one. Normally I have alogcat installed, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Next time it happens I'll fire it up and see if there's any useful messages or not If I get any info from it I'll share it here.

[Q] 3G dead for me no idea why D:

Well for some odd reason my 3G isn't functioning correctly. It randomly appears and disappear. Started happening after my last flash. If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it. But for now no more flashing. Also I would appreciate to help out if anyone needs help.

Switched from ciscogee's rom to normal deodexed rom.. then put trailblazers mods cause I never really checked what all it had. and as soon as the phone booted up from flashing that's when the 3g started acting funny. but it's all good now. and no one to blame. just my mistakes.
Just wondered, cause I've had some random odd things going on...wifi not scanning/connecting, notifications not working, weather not updating, apps that did work fine fc'ing, earlier today my soft keys disappeared... they still worked just couldn't see them. Some times the phone runs like a Ferrari, sometimes like a pinto. Rebooting seems to fix it, or jump to another problem. Its almost like sometimes things don't get loaded correctly at boot. Not bad enough to make the phone unusable, but does have me scratching my head sometimes.

Hmm.. that's odd. the only problems I had was that my lockscreen wasn't showing even after I locked it and the whole 3g issue. The lockscreen problem didn't bother me much but the 3g one did. both fix themselves on their own. Rebooting does work. but also when it's booting up it's best to wait and let everything load instead of using it right away. But aside from this don't worry much. These bugs and error will go away soon as we get closer to our goal.

Oh, I'm not complaining! It's still MUCH better than Verizon had it!
Yeah, letting it boot and "settle in" is the way to go...still starts up a lot faster than stock. The only bug that really concerned me was the wifi. It only happened once, so probably just a fluke.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda app-developers app
The lockscreen won't show until you toggle the "disable lockscreen" or whatever it's called on and off in TSM parts ---> lockscreen... it'd be a good idea to also choose a lockscreen too, and pick one you like
And I figured out awhile ago why we have some problems, including weather syncing, ticker sleep settings, unsaved options for social network options in ticker options, ticker time delay nut saving, etc etc... it's because there aren't proper permissions given to the dbdata/databases/com.android.settings/tt_prefs or something like that I managed to fix it, and I can release a quick patch that fixes it, I just didn't know anyone else was having the issues, haha

While we're on the subject of odd stuff...anyone had an issue with when you plug in USB with the phone on/screen off the phone locks up? Doesn't matter if its the wall charger or connected to a computer. Have to pull the battery and reboot. If the screen is on or if the phone is off then everything works as it should.

Oh I know...I hope its not coming off like I'm complaining, cause I'm not. I like how the phone works now, there is a 0% chance of me going back to stock. Just putting it out there in case someone else has the same issue.
I'll try to get a log and see what's going on when it happens.

I noticed that my 3G will go out when I'm on wifi, however if wifi isn't connected to internet it will not automatically pick up the 3G. I would recommend if people continue to have problems look and see if toggling off wifi will help bring the network back online. Worked this problem and many others last night. Nearly "bricked" the unbrickable thankfully stayed calm and worked through each problem one at a time and soon will try and reflash CWM and then TB's mods for ec09.

Bluetooth toggle doesn't work all the time?

The past few weeks I have been experiencing the bluetooth toggle both widget and settings not working unless I reset my phone. Any ideas why it's acting like this? I doubt it's a hardware issue. Any help would be great. Thanks!

i have / had the same issue, but lately has not happened. I am on the franco kernel r29. give that a try and see if you still cannot enabled bluetooth.
I had the same problem today. It was stuck on "off" until I rebooted my device.

I can't turn on my wifi and bluetooth neither. First I can turn them on after reboot, 2 days later, reboot doesn't work. Maybe it is a bug.
Okay well at least someone else is having the same issue as me, I hope it just a bug also.

do you have an NFC tasker installed? I think that might cause the problem...no sure tho, I'm having trouble with bluetooth not turning on too.
My 2 nexus is having the bluetooth issue, it will work when reboot or restart, but after a couple of day, you cannot switch the bluetooth on until you restart it. One nexus is rooted stock with bunch of app, The other is bone stock with very few app install.

please help, my gps stopped working

so, today, i needed to look up driving directions and my phone would not lock in. i thought it was kinda strange, so when i got home i did some research. attached are the gps test results. I know that it's the phone, because when i checked it on my nexus 10, it locks in right away. i tested both of them next to each other. i tried using the gmps status app to clear A-gps data and doing resets with the gps status apps, but it did not help. it's no driving me crazy since most people are happy with their gps in the nexus 4 and seem to be able to lock in within seconds. i've left maps on for minutes with no success. i've already checked both google settings in the accounts and location to be on.
i recently started charging my phone with the lg wireless orb. do you think that's the issue? how can i fix this? it's driving me crazy.
It seems to see the satellites, but can't lock in.

google now: frequent "no connection" error since i/o

Ever since the Google i/o update for google search I'm frequently experiencing a "no connection" bug with google now. The rest of the services works fine but Google Now can't connect to the internet. Rebooting fixes the issue but it reappears after some time. Am i the only one with that?
It happened to me once about a day ago, but that *might* have been because my internet was throwing a hissy-fit.
Out of curiosity, what was the Google i/o update?

They've added reminder settings and some new cards. Go to settings/cards to see what the new ones are
I'm having the same issue. Since the update, Google Now losses connection at least every other day until I turn off my WiFi/mobile data and turn it back on.
Assume a big fix week be on the cards (excuse the pun) but it's a pain in the meantime...

I had this problem show up randomly after a few months without issues. Wiping the Google search app data solved it for a day or two then it came back.
I finally solved the problem by simply wiping the Google search app data, then turning Google Now OFF then ON. 6 weeks without a problem so far.

[Help][Urgent]WiFi won't turn on

Hi there!
I'm having a really bad problem at the moment on my s4 (i9505). Recently I upgraded from stock (MDE) to pre-rooted (MF8). Since then, my WiFi has stopped working, and it seems to be the only thing that has gone wrong. When I toggle WiFi on, it immediately toggles off (both in the quick settings, and through the settings panel). When I mean immediately, I mean within 1/10 of a second.
I flashed another ROM over it (OMEGA V7) and nothing changed.
I feel as though I've missed something vital, and would rather work on a fix for it rather than flash stock through Odin and start from scratch. Any help is very much appreciated.
Check settings in WiFi. There is an option for using cell or WiFi based on which one is faster, disable it.

Might take the phone back.

I can't really say why this happens but a lot of times with this phone it seems that the MAC address to the wifi is somehow lost and by removing the /data/.cid.info file you can somehow reset something that makes things work again. I assume it's somehow tight to different wifi network chip drivers in different kernels but I'm not sure. On some ROM's I have tried I have to do this on every boot...
