After this last weekend, I've noticed that Bluetooth no longer works. Specifically, it is off, and when I tap to turn it on from any menu, it grays out and never turns on. I've tried rebooting several times, turning airplane mode on and off, clearing the cache and data from the Bluetooth app and force stopping it, and even booting into safe mode where it still does the same thing. As of last week Bluetooth was working fine and I used it daily for audio streaming and syncing with my smartwatch.
This issue coincides with a software update a few days ago (G950U1UEU1AQH3). I wonder if it has anything to do with that.
I want to avoid a factory reset if at all possible.
my bluetooth works fine after upgrading to AQH3, probably a bad update, im afraid outside of a factory reset not sure how else you can fix it.
Got a fix - I went to "Reset" in Settings and reset all network information. It reset wifi as well, but right after I did that Bluetooth started working. No idea what happened, but at least I avoided a factory reset...

My phone has been working great. Last night though, my phone just wouldn't connect to my wifi. I rebooted the phone a few times, along with the router, but it still would't connect.
I did a factory reset to see if that solved it. It didn't. My phone was plugged in on charge at the time, and when I tried to set it up, it just hung on the wifi part, when it was supposedly connecting. This happened again after a few more factory resets. About 1am this morning it managed to connect so I could set up my phone, though it took forever to connect. When I tried to sign into Gmail that took ages as well.
I lost all my MMS and data settings. I need to input them manually - cheap network provider - and to input them, I needed to get the settings online. Low and behold my internet died. It's working now, but I won't have time to input them - gotta head to work.
So at the moment I have a phone with no apps installed, no antivirus, no data settings, but I need to take it with me to stay in touch with people.
So my questions are these. Performing numerous factory resets in a row - whilst the phone is on charge - won't have damaged the phone at all right? I was just a bit hesitant performing so many resets, but needed to resolve the problem.
Second of all, taking my phone out with no antivirus - but having data turned off - shouldn't be a problem should it?
I'll have to set it all up when I get home, but for now I just need a phone.
antivirus ? :\
I managed to install AryaMod V5.3 TW last week and over the weekend I had to factory reset my phone 3-5 times.
I think the problem was when I had wifi and possibly bluetooth both turned on that my phone would break and constantly restart.
I got my phone working again Sunday and restored an old backup and everything seems to be working fine. I haven't tried turning bluetooth on again out of fear haha.
Has anyone else come across this?
So this morning my WiFi was working just as usual. But after that I went out so I turned it off and when I return home, my WiFi isnt working anymore. Its not that it wont work completely, but it keeps connect and disconnect. I just can't use it. After an hour I'm going out again so I turned off the WiFi. I was so annoyed by what happened so I decided to play with the WiFi toggle. Guess what, it wont turn on. When I tapped on the toggle it slides to the right remained greyed out, and stucks there. It will not turn on. I rebooted it many times, it worked for about a second then it stops working again. I tried to find out if it was software problem or what, I rebooted several times, disabled root, reflashed ROM, cleared cache, but it still wont work. I even factory reset it by clearing data and caches and reflashed my ROM but it still wont turn on.
Then just now I did a few Google and found out it may be hardware problem and many solved the issue by whacking it at the back. I tried it it worked for a second and the problem comes back again. Then I suddenly remembered that I heard some shaky sound from the upper part of the phone when I shake it. I noticed the sound long time ago but I didnt bother. And I did some sports this morning with my phone in my pocket so I think its the wifi antenna contacts.
Okay assuming it wasn't a hardware problem, is there anything I can try to be more sure that it's a software fault? I did factory reset from recovery. And is that shaky sound a hardware bug or it's normal?
Update: I can't turn on Bluetooth too so it's definitely a hardware problem since they share the same antenna. More over I saw this line in logcat thus making me more sure it's the antenna

Yes it's hardware.
I keep having to reconnect my previously paired bluetooth devices, and I believe this started after upgrading to Marshmallow. Initially, my devices seemed to unpair infrequently, like maybe every 10-14 days. But now, for whatever reason, it is happening more frequently and sometimes daily.
After reading through the forums here and at AC, I thought it might be happening because I rename the devices after I pair them, but that didn't solve the problem when I stopped that.
After Marshmallow, Android Pay required a screen lock to use, which I never had done in the past, so I also enabled Smart Lock and set my paired bluetooth devices as trusted devices. I just disabled all of that (screen lock, android pay and smart lock) so I maybe that will solve the problem, but I suspect it won't.
Anybody have any ideas?
Hi,
I have the exact same issue!
VEry annoying!
Clearing, hard reseting, repairing etc... tried EVERYTHING!
Now i also set smart lock and trusted devices.. Will go to a meeting and back, will test it on the way.

Well, that didn't work for me. I also tried clearing the cache from the boot menu, but it's still dropping my paired BT devices.
My new Square Up Contactless + Chip credit card reader arrived yesterday. Unlike their previous credit card readers that connect through the earphone jack, this one connects through BT. I cannot get it to connect to my XPE, but am able to connect it to my Moto X 2nd Gen.
I really hope this is a Marshmallow issue that will be fixed soon, but the lack of responses has me concerned that it won't.
I tried resetting the network settings and wiping the cache, neither of which fixed it. I decided it was time to do a full factory reset, but that didn't fix it either. Any other ideas?
I going to assume you are unrooted... But either way if you can change your SELinux to permissive that might help your Bluetooth issue there is this app here that might help out

Got the new phone from Motorola a couple of days ago. After reinstalling all my apps and customizations, including renaming my device and the 4 Bluetooth device I connect to, I started to experience the same problem. Not initially, but soon after I turned on the new System UI Tweak option.
So, I turned off the feature and it hasn't happened since. It has been a few days and I have restart (soft reset) several times, which I found would usually trigger the loss of pairing, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it was related to the UI tweaker.
I had tried many different ways, such as:1. Wipe cache. 2. Clear Bluetooth cache. 3. Reset Network. 4. Factory Reset. None of them work out. And I almost need the Bluetooth all the time for my headphone, smartwatch, speaker.
I am having the same issue with my S7 Edge from AT&T.... It was working just fine my bluetooth watch was synced to it up till all the sudden bluetooth refuses to turn on at all... I'm miffed as to why.. I"ve tried all the cache wiping factory resetting also.. no dice... I am super mad its broken...
Let me know if anything comes of this.
I was thinking maybe it was caused because I installed root access on it, but it was working fine for quite a while after rooting so I doubt thats the case.

I bought a used S7 Edge with AT&T that has a bluetooth issue and I believe the OTA update was installed before I ended up with the phone. Can I back up to the previous update to see if that will fix the problem? Bluetooth will not turn on, slider moves, but doesn't lite up, and reverts back to off as soon as I leave that screen. I think that reverting to previous update might restore Bluetooth function.
