Galaxy S6 :: Bluetooth Won't Stay On?

Jun 23, 2015

I've had my white G6 for about 3 months now and haven't had any problems until the past few days. I used to be able to connect the BT to several devices: cars, ear piece, speakers, etc, but now the BT won't even stay on long enough to connect to anything. I hit the BT button, it will stay on for about 8 seconds and then turn off.

I did the BT force close, clear cache and it still won't turn on. I did a factory reset this morning and I am still unable to turn on BT.

I searched through the forum and didn't see anything like this - most of the BT issues are about connecting to a device. Mine won't even stay on.

Galaxy S6 :: How To Get Bluetooth To Stay On

Jul 9, 2015

I have a couple weeks old Galaxy S6 that was working great until suddenly today the Bluetooth stopped working..

I turn the phone on from the OFF state.

When it boots, I open the app drawer and choose Settings. Then Bluetooth.

In the Bluetooth screen the switch is toggled off, now I tap the switch to turn it on and it turns green. The text "Turning on.." appears and all looks well, but then suddenly the switch just toggles back to the OFF position again!

I've tried turning it on repeatedly, same thing happens. Have tried toggling it from the pull down menu, and same thing.. It just turns on for 10 seconds then back off again.

It's completely not useful, not a single error message or anything.. Impossible for me to troubleshoot

I tried uninstalling all my apps, didn't fix it.

Galaxy S5 :: Samsung Bluetooth Won't Stay Connected To BMW

Apr 24, 2014

I have a 2012 bmw 5 series. I can pair the phones but after about 2 minutes it losses pairing. I noticed that the phone contacts never download beyond 3 contacts(I have over 1,000) so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I called bmw service and they were totally unaware of what to do.

Also media is not supported! When connected texts and music will not show or stream.

BB Pearl :: Bluetooth Won't Stay Connected?

May 7, 2010

I have an 8220 pearl flip and until last week my bluetooth worked fine; then it lost connectivity. I've taken the battery out and put it back. I've downloaded the latest software. I've checked bluetooth in manage connections and it stays checked for about three seconds and then disappears. I've tried pairing in settings and it just says bluetooth disabled. I took it to the T-mobile store and they just tried to sell me a new phone. Nothing seems to work.

Galaxy S5 :: LTE Notification Stay On While On WiFi?

Apr 19, 2014

Unlike my Note 3 the WiFi enabled doesn't disable the LTE signal from showing. Obviously its not using any data but any specific reason? I disabled a lot of apps including the Caller Name ID. If it's normal than no big deal but I'm just nor used to seeing both.

Galaxy S6 :: Keyboard Will Not Stay Turned Off

Apr 11, 2015

Like a lot of people, I prefer the Google keyboard over the Samsung one. Annoyingly, an icon appears in the notification bar whenever the Google keyboard is summoned. One way to get rid of this icon is to disable all other keyboards under Language and input -> Default keyboard -> Set up input methods. Unfortunately I've noticed that the Samsung keyboard keeps turning back on all the time.

Galaxy S6 Edge :: Why Don't Emails Stay Removed

Jul 16, 2015

After years of owning a blackberry I finally switched over to a Samsung. I have configured my imap mail servers and have it working (receiving and sending). I have a question. I removed my e-mails using web-mail on a computer but the e-mails still show up on the phone. I have manually sync'd the phone multiple times and they are still there. Why this is the case (My phone shows 250+ e-mails and when I log onto web-mail, I have about 20, which is correct)?

Galaxy S6 Edge :: Camera Settings Will Not Stay On

Aug 17, 2015

I open the camera on the Galaxy S6 Edge by pressing the camera icon. The camera screen appears, and at the top of the camera screen is the settings gearwheel icon along with Auto, Off, HDR On and Effect.But, when tapping the settings gearwheel icon the Camera Settings menu appears for a fraction of a second before the screen reverts. I can't get at the Camera Settings no matter how many times I try; the menu is on for an instant - then gone, and the screen is as before.

Galaxy S5 :: Why Lollipop Lockscreen Stay Awake

Mar 17, 2015

Whenever I get a notification that wakes up my lockscreen, usually a text message or snapchat, the screen stays awake until I lock it manually. Very annoying as the screen can be on for an hour straight since I'm in class and it completely drains the battery. Can't use wakelock since I don't want to root my phone, and I've already tried clearing cache partition.

Galaxy S5 :: Why Won't Phone Stay Connected To WiFi

Nov 23, 2014

I've never had a problem connecting to my home wifi, everything was working fine on Friday, I left the house, went to my girlfriends and my phone connected to her wifi without a problem as usual. I returned home on Saturday and my S5 failed to connect to my wifi, I connected it manually and it connects and disconnects almost instantly. I have 5 other devices including a samsung galaxy note 4 in the house which all work perfectly fine. I've tired switching the router off and on again and that makes no difference, I removed the phone battery for 5 minutes and it then connects to the wifi for about 5-10 seconds then again disconnects, what else I can try....

Galaxy S6 :: Getting Texts Via Bluetooth

Dec 8, 2015

I just recently made the transition from a Lumia 1020 Windows 8.1 phone to an S6. I have a 2010 Ford Focus with the Ford Sync system.

On my 1020, when connected to Bluetooth, I was able to have my texts read to me over my speakers and reply via hands free. I cannot for the life of me however get the S6 to replicate this behavior.

I can get the car to recognize texts, but they come across the text messaging system, which requires manipulation of the stereo, and response isn't entirely hands free.

I've tried using multiple suggestions, but haven't found anything that works. Is exist Android to work out of the box like my 1020 and my wife's iPhone 6+

I can get Bluetooth audio, but no hands free. I drive 60+ miles on a work commute. I've tried 3rd party apps, but they were slowing down my system and draining battery life horribly.

Galaxy S6 :: Waze Won't Play Over Bluetooth

Jan 8, 2016

Waze on my iPhone worked great in my car over the stereo speakers. Now it won't play over BT with my S6. I have read about all I can find and some even say the car/phone must be A2DP compatible. Well my car hasn't changed so is the S6 not compliant or is there something else going on?

In Waze, I don't see a "Prefer Bluetooth" option in sound like I did on my iPhone

So is there something in the phone that i need to adjust

PS. Phone calls work fine in my car over BT

Galaxy S6 :: Bluetooth Battery Drain?

Sep 6, 2015

I have a Verizon GS6 running 5.1.1. A few days ago there was an update for the ANT Radio Service and ANT+ Plugins Service. I'm sure others got this update too. I'm not sure if it's related, but all of the sudden my Bluetooth is killing my battery. It won't let my phone sleep. All I have connected is a Fitbit, which I've had for 4 months and never had an issue like this. It's killing my battery and the only thing I can do is turn off Bluetooth.

My new S6 doesn't recognize my Bluetooth in the car each time. I can easily pair it but each time I turn the car off, I have to re-enter the pairing code. Doesn't seem right. My S4 was paired once and then each time I got in the car and put it on Bluetooth, it connected.
