S7 Edge Issues - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I've had the S7 Edge now for 3 months and I am generally loving the phone. However I have a few issues that are happening continoulsy:
Bluetooth turns itself on and the volume of the phone mutes itself.
Wifi turns itself off during the night even though I've selected the option to keep it on. I will wake in the morning and the phone is using my mobile providers data.
I have read various threads to factory reset the phone which I will do if it resolves the issues but I want to ensure my Apps return with the data they currently have residing in them e.g. 1Password etc.
Hoping someone has some thoughts,
Thanks.

Did those issues always occur or start only recently?

Hi,
From memory they have always been there. I've just lived with them but they are becoming annoying.
Thanks.

this is not a common issue and I believe you got a defective unit. you should take it back to make warranty claim

I'll have a word with Samsung support. I would have thought that the software was telling it to do these things.

In the wifi settings, try disabling wifi smart network and setting also wifi always active on standby (the actual menu setting names might differ, I translated from italian).

Unfortunately I've tried all of those to no avail. Today the phone has 4 times muted itself and in addition Bluetooth has turned itself on automatically. All bizarre!

Do you use the edge panel "My Places?" This can change those settings based on location.

Unfortunately not I don't use it. I wish I did as that may be an answer! It happens all over to be honest and isn't linked to a certain location. It's very odd as I can be using the phone and suddenly it turns mute on. Sometimes bluetooth will turn on with it and sometimes not. Its frustrating as I am now missing calls and texts.
Appreciate any feedback.

Apps - application manager - apps that can change system settings. (names my differ. Translated from my language). See if any user app that you installed is enabled in there or try troubleshoot by disable one at a time.

Okay I've disabled them all for now. If things stop working I'll enable them one by one. There were a few that had access. Appreciate your help.
Just as an aside what is the best way to factory reset the phone and then reinstall the apps etc that I had installed. I'm thinking worst case if what you have proposed doesn't work? I had an iPhone prior to this and it was a pretty straight forward process.
Thanks.

I'm not TOTALLY sure, but I think that if you're logged in with your google account and go into settings->Backup and choose to backup to your google account, your app data should follow. After the backup is finished, factory reset and then when you log into your google account again you get an option to retrieve your old app+data.
Don't hang me up on this, as i'm not totally sure! But i THINK it works this way. Google at least mention app data in the decription, but well, not sure if everything follows.

Wifi Keeps Turning Itself On

Ok about a couple hours ago I noticed my wifi would turn itself on multiple times, and I turn it off and it keeps coming on, I think it does it when I put my phone to sleep, im not sure. I think it started happening since I installed the Blue Star 5 theme. Any ideas?
Stupid question... but you don't have Locale installed do you?
Figured I would ask. I have mine set up so that it would automatically fire up my wifi because although I get 3G outside I can't get it through my mighty wooden walls where I live. Go figure. Every so often I guess Locale looses my position and it puts me on and off the network. Pretty annoying. So I disabled that and installed some apps to keep my wifi on even while my phone sleeps. There's a few out there, Wifi Insomnia, Wi-Fi Lock, KeepWiFi are a few that I have experiment with. Although since I have all three installed now... I'm honestly not sure which one I'm using.

Hmmm. Well... maybe try seeing if it does it in safe mode if that doesn't work. If it does it in safe mode too then I dunno. If it doesn't then it's probably an app messing with it.
I heard it could be ShopSavvy that is causing that.
If you have an app like keepwifi that basically keeps your wifi signal on, that might be whats causing it. If not, you might want to try other apps that require things such as internet access or access to settings.
We need an list of apps you have installed. Power Manager will do this also.
I too am having this problem!
Sometime the wifi doesn't stay on and I only knew it was turning on thanks to wifi toggle's symbol at the top.
I am running JF's 1.43 RC9 with root etc etc.
The apps I have installed are:
ASTRO
Download crutch lite
DroidFtp
Droidsans tweak tools
fBook
GPS status
JF updater
Meebo
PapiJump
Picasa
Pkt auctions ebay
Ringdroid
Scrambled net
Shazam
Shopsavvy (my suspisions are on this one!)
Skype
Sms awake
Toggle wifi
Thanks

Okay,figured out what it is. Its the theme u downloaded. Couple hours ago my g1 started turning on the wifi whenever it felt like it.I figured it was something I downloaded recently but I downloaded apps to check them out& then uninstalled them.apps have no effect after u uninstall them.then u mentioned the theme u just downloaded. Well go figure,I just downloaded the same theme wit a few others today.then my wifi started acting up.concidence? I think not.
Lol let me know how u do.
Hmmm, im not sure if its the theme, someone mentioned the setting on ShopSavvy, after I took it off it hasnt been turning on. I still have the theme on btw, but I modified it, so it may have been ShopSavvy
wifi not turning on
My problem is different my wifi wont turn on? if i start my wifi it will show a message that wifi failed to turn on... Can anyone help me on this
Weird, i had shopsavvy from day one, never encountered such a problem. still have it, and deleted the theme. Now the wifi is back to normal. problem with the G1 is, everyone can have the same problems or issues but different solutions with each device lol. the beauty of the G1.
Btw, does anyone know if the "shake awake" app really kills the battery?

ShopSavvy is a definite cause of this problem. I've been in touch with the developers over it, and they have admitted that there's a problem with the WiFi coming on randomly
they've assured me that the next update will fix it. i hope so, because ShopSavvy was useful until it started doing this
here you go guys............i posted this in the Tethering thread as well. this will fix the issue. it is indeed Shop Savvy, but heres the fix, just copy and pasted from my other post:

1. On your G1, open the Shop Savvy APP
2. once Shop savvy's screen shows up, SELECT settings
3. select PRIVACY
****you will see a phase that says "find my location" with a button to the right that will say "ON"****
4. press the button, now it should say "OFF"
5. Exit out of Shop Savvy
Voila.........no more disconnects. I have been tethering for 2 hours non-stop. happy tethering.
my wifi keeps today also itself on
I never installed Shopsavvy. So that cant be the problem.
I didnt changed anything today on my phone

yes, this fixes the issue of ShopSavvy randomly switching on the WiFi and disconnecting ongoing sessions, but it completely renders the most useful thing about ShopSavvy useless.
I've been beta testing the latest version of ShopSavvy, and it doesn't seem to be doing this random WiFi anymore. It is also a version of ShopSavvy that is compatible with Cupcake 1.5.

[Q] WIFI timer not working since 4.3 update

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?

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

[Q] Notifications not received!?

Hi there,
I am having the issue of not getting any kind of notification from apps or what so ever on my nexus 4, i noticed that my phone was really quite for a long time and i figured quickly that it is the phone and not the router or so, only after disabling and then reabling wifi on my device the notifications start to poor in, although in the meanwhile i can use the phone, the apps and web.
Any ideas why this is happening? i just had done a factory restore like two weeks ago because i had more app issues and also because my device was not reconnecting automatically to known networks, this issue disappeared and now i`m having this no notification issue.
I recommend you to reinstall your apps which you receive notifications often from. It may help
Thanks
i will try, but i don`t think it will help because all of them do same...so mathematically seen it can`t be an issue with all the apps at once and over night...
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Yeah, try clearing data and reinstalling the apps which are giving you issues. In addition, download an app called push notification fixer from the playstore, set ot as its default settings, apply them and reboot the device. See if that helps.

BT keeps turning off

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?

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!

"Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping"

Hi, its my first time writing here, but not using this forum.
First of all, sorry if my english is not good enough.
I have a Nexus 6P stock, without root or anything. This week I installed Android 7.1.2 from google beta program, after that, I was having draining battery issue, so, I checked the battery usage and discover that the Wi-Fi never stop, then, after reading on some blogs about this problem and found that I should go to WiFi setting and disable some option in "keep wifi on sleep", however, when i click on setting key, always appear this messages "Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping". Things I did:
1) Disable Wi-Fi, try clicking on setting key - still the problem
2) Restart on safe mode - still the problem
3) clean the cache from recovery mode - still the problem
Any other suggestions without restoring the cell phone?
Thanks in advance

Hi... The gear icon force close... It's a bug in this beta version, nothing you should worry about.
However, I have no idea for your battery drain...

Have You tried with - Settings - Location - press the 3 dots - Scanning - And disableing everything there ?
So...if I can't access the wifi settings is there any way to disable the wifi optimization or otherwise prevent it from dropping a wifi connection that it detects has no internet?

Unfortunately the only thing that usually fixes that is a factory reset. And if that doesn't work it's a ROM issue. Even though it's a stock ROM it happens.
Your best bet is probably a factory reset at this point. Usually if Settings or another system app is crashing on Stock, something is pretty messed up. You could either opt out of the beta and it will wipe/downgrade for you, or you can download a factory image from Google and install it manually if you're so inclined.
I have the same issue on my s6 after it updated to Nougat. Settings crashes every time if I try to open wifi, no matter what. Already wiped system cache and started in safe mode, but the problem is still there. Has anybody figured out a solution to this?
Did you try what was suggested..... ?

I tried everything except factory reset, which I don't want to do yet.
I have this problem but I'm running Nougat on a stock "International" Samsung Galaxy S7.
I've tried factory resetting which fixed the issue for a while, but now it's come back.
