Hey all, so I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue:
I put my phone in disk drive, mode, after a restart it works fine at this point. I toggle wifi on, it disconnects from the computer and asks which type of connection again, turn it on and off again, usb teathering seems to do the same thing.
Sometiemes, but not always, it will disconnect every time I pull down the app drawer, which is really weird.
I've tried this on 2 different kernels, on 2 different roms, on 2 different radios, nothing's made a difference.
So has this happened to anyone else?
Also. I can't turn off USB debugging, this is on coredroid, just is ion atomatically when it's in charge only, even if it's unticked.
Curious that noone else is getting this, the only rom I'm not getting this on that I've tried is Virtuous Affinity now, tried their kernel on other roms and still happened though...
Really can't figure out what's causing this, doesn't seem to be because of any rom, kernel, radio, ril or anything else I could think of... I noticed it was mentioned in the RCmix thread, and was blamed on the kernel.. But that wasn't it for me...
Just curious what was causing this...

My phone has had absolutely no problem connecting to Wi-Fi for the longest time. About a month ago, it started refusing to connect to Wi-Fi properly. If I go to the wireless settings, as soon as Wi-Fi turns on, it turns itself off immediately, and it keeps doing this over and over. I've tried different kernels (including stock), different ROMs, which sometimes fix it for a little while but it always goes back to this. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or know how to fix it?
I can see on many forums and google searches that many have the same problem as me: Volume button doesnt work, and bluetooth and wifi cant be turned on. Wifi gives "error" message.
It started after I installed latest coredroid. But I've tried many other things now: All wipes and formats, miui, cyanogen and stock rom, new radios - no solution.
Anybody knows what the solution is?
i have seen that exact problem with an overheated dhd...
did you leave it someplace very warm? Maybe forgot the phone inside the car on a very warm day?
in my case it went to htc for repairs
The exact same happened to me dude. Volume up, bluetooth, 3g hotspot, WiFi not working. When it happened, I had been on 3g only for a couple of days and had used it quite a bit for navigation. Tried other custom and stock ROMs but those features were dead.
Got it fixed on warranty though - no idea what happened, the status page just claimed they had upgraded firmware but I know that's not true, as I had tried that myself.
Anywho, if it's still under warranty, send it off to get fixed, it's definitely some hardware issue.
If you tried several ROM with same error, your hardware has been in trouble. Bring it back to the shop
Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've been active here, but I've recently discovered a weird problem with my phone - I can't get it to turn *off*.
I rarely try to turn it off, so I have no idea how long it's been doing this, but I was on a plane recently and discovered that whenever I try to power it off, it'll pop right back on as soon as it shuts down.
I'm on CM7.1.0, but it's the same when I go back to my nandroid backups of 7.0.3, 7.0.2, and even stock 2.2! I have then eng-hboot (0.76.2000), radio is 26.08.04.16_M, recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0, but the same thing happened on 3.0.2.4. I can provide more info if needed.
Can anyone help?
Just... take the battery out?

But I mean how long is he going to keep his phone off for? If you're keeping the phone off for a long time, you shouldn't store it with the battery inside anyways.

Does this only happen when the device is plugged into the charger/connected via USB?

1) Yes, pulling the battery works of course, but there should be a way to turn it off without doing that. And it comes on instantly when the battery is reinserted.
2) It happens regardless of whether it's plugged in or not.
Maybe I should try re-installing the engineering fastboot? Or try a different radio?
This was happening to a lot of CM Nightly users a few months ago (myself included), and it fixed itself a few days after it started. I still have no idea what caused it.

This happened to me just the other night. I needed to power off for a short while - I pulled the battery. I don't think it happens every time, but I was able to pull the battery and then reinsert it without the phone rebooting immediately.
It happens to me form times to times but i think its nothing serious so i just take the battery out
An update - I tried turning it off while plugged into my computer and watching the log in DDMS; it *CAN* turn off when it's plugged in! Still nothing when it's unplugged, though.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Like others have said, it's not like this is a major problem - I can always just pull the battery if I need the power to be off for some reason. And it's not like phones really need to be off for air travel, so I can't even think of a reason I would need it off, but still - this is obviously a flaw in something, and I can't stand knowing that it's not working exactly right. I think I'm going to flash a different radio, see if it makes a difference, but if anyone has any ideas how/why this is happening, I'd really appreciate you sharing them.
ETA: updating the radio didn't change anything.
same problem--- keeps turning back on
IOn my Desire Z running MIUI, i turn it off and it shuts down to turn itself back on! Very annoying, particulary when on a plane. Taking the battery off, OBVIOULSY fixes it. But not a very practical solution.
Similar to post above, it stays off when connected to USB. Go figure!
I think I read somewhere that this was a clwm issue with the most recent recovery, have you tried flashing a different one? Older or maybe try 4ext?
PS just reread your first post sorry, it seems you already tried a different recovery.
For the OP, since you tried reflashing, and I'm sure you wiped, then I would imagine it isn't a issue with the ROM, the radio didn't help so maybe bootloader or recovery.
OP here, sorry I hadn't checked in for a while. For unknown reasons, the problem's gone. No big changes to my phone, so the issue vanished as mysteriously as it appeared.
When I try to turn on bluetooth, the icon and text indicates that the system is trying to turn it on. However, it never actually turns on and after a few minutes reverts to indicating that BT is shut off. This problem used to occur sporadically and sometimes seemed to be cured by rebooting. However it is now at the point that it just won't turn on no matter what. I did the requisite googling and found nothing very definitive. It looks like I may have to do an exchange on the unit but I would rather not go to the effort of unrooting this unit and rooting the replacement.
Any suggestions of things to try beyond what I have indicated above?

Are you using an experimental ROM or stock rooted?
Jedi Mind Trick XI (although the problem has been growing worse and has happened across the last several JMT versions). I will give a stock rooted ICS a try.
I just tried a stock rom and the problem persisted.
I have the same problem
I have scoured the net looking for an answer, any answer, to this problem. It seems that a few people are having the same issue. But before it is ever answered, some dip$#!t always jumps in and says "I have the same problem, my phone won't connect to my car." Then the conversation goes off into other people that can't connect their bluetooth to their car or their headset- or their cat... That is not the same problem!!!
I cannot turn my bluetooth on unless I soft reset the phone. Even after I've gotten the bluetooth working, if I restart my phone the bluetooth turns off and when you try to turn it on, it says "Turning on Bluetooth..." It cycles for about a minute and a half and then goes back to "To see devices, turn on Bluetooth."
I bought this phone on Amazon for what appeared (at the time) to be a reasonable price. Since then, I believe that I have read at least one of the seller's post about bluetooth not coming on (no proof, just an educated guess). The seller probably got rid of the phone because noone could or would give an answer to this problem. Heck, it's possible that every post that I've read so far is by someone who owned this phone at one point or another. :silly:
I am sending this post to XDA because even the adminstrators on android forums say that you guys are the smartest and most responsive forum available. (Okay, they didn't say smartest- it was implied). Please help me resolve this issue.
I rooted this phone the moment that I pulled it out of the box. In other words, I don't know if the bluetooth issue is caused by the root, or if the previous owner didn't root the phone and also couldn't get the bluetooth to work. I believe that, because the phone is rooted, I should be able to remove and reinstall the app that bluetooth is based upon.
I am not a techie, the only reason I know anything about root is because I was complaining to someone about my old phone and how all of the bloatware that seems to constantly run eventually kills my battery. He told me about rooting, and it was easy enough - the rest is history. In other words, if you ask me for more information- I promise that I can give it to you. Yet, have patience with me if I ask you a question that you believe that any person that has rooted their phone should know.
I really hope that you guys can help me without bricking my phone. I truly appreciate any suggestions or thoughts on this matter.

I may have figured out what is going on, although I can't understand why it is (maybe someone more versed with processes can help me figure this out).
Using Titanium Backup, I first froze the two bluetooth items (Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth Test). Of course, that didn't remove anything, but I wanted to make sure that I could. Then I wanted to see how Bluetooth Share would react without Bluetooth Test. I unfroze Bluetooth Share.
I was then able to turn on and off Bluetooth fine. I restarted the phone and Bluetooth came in just like it did on my old phone. I guess I want to know:
1) Is the Bluetooth Test the cause of my problem?
2) Why is it there?
3) If I uninstalled it, would I experience a major hiccup?
There is still the possibility that this was simply a fluke, and very soon I will go back to the old bluetooth soft reset problem.
There is, however, one distinct difference between this phone and the last and may be the "drop out" that everyone else seems to be having. I have a Chevy Malibu with bluetooth in the stereo. On my old phone, when I started the car and got going, the word "Bluetooth" would appear on the digital display for about 10 seconds, which means that the vehicle detected and connected the bluetooth pairing. Yesterday, as I was driving in the car, every 5 minutes or so, "Bluetooth" would appear on the digital display.
This leads me to the conclusion that Bluetooth is dropping out and being picked up continuously by my vehicle. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm okay with that as long as when I am talking to someone for more than 5 minutes I don't have to keep calling them back. I simply want to know what you guys think about this issue.

I am beginning to think that the problems I have had are related to the condition of the battery contacts.I have several third party batteries with contacts that are somewhat damaged from the pins on an external charger that came with them. I seem to experience a variety of problems when I try to use them.my original factory battery seems to work most of the time. I have several new Samsung batteries on order and will post again if they seem to solve the problem.

i had the same problem and it started with JMT so I switched roms countless times and the problem kept coming back. It would work for a little bit but when i turned it off it would not turn back on. I decided to go back to stock to see if the problem was still there and it was gone. Since then I have rerooted and once again flashing diff. rom every other day and bluetooth works just fine.
Well it seems no answer was found. I'm having the same issue as stated above. In my case, my bluetooth (custom ROM) keeps trying to turn on with the message "Turning On Bluetooth" until I soft reset the phone, after that it works fine.

Was having bluetooth crashes for months using CM 10.1 on a T989 (no custom kernels)
Would crash anytime I tried to connect to car BT audio, or would simply not start up.
Flashed this yesterday.... and no crashes!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174100
For flash: Wiped dalvik/cache, flashed, fix permissions, reboot, start BT, deleted all devices, re-add.
No BT crashing of any sort for 36 hours now.

Hey thanks! I switched to JMT JB4 and it's not happening (much) now, I'll try to flash it and see if it fixes something :good:
I grabbed my brother's S II X because he was tired of it (phone having some issues that I didnt get so far, but he's not the most responsible phone user out there). Screen is cracked (not a huge crack, touch works 100%), bezel in poor condition, but otherwise works great.
Except for the Wi-Fi, which most of the time I cannot get working for some reason. It just stays off, or if I go in the Wifi menu and turn it on there, it shows "Turning On...", then stays there. Sometimes it starts working for absolutely no reason, sometimes it works from a cold boot, sometimes it works after enabling data/4G and messing with other stuff. I can't replicate the fixes. And it will also "disable" itself automatically for no reason after a while (could be minutes, could be hours).
A quick search made me realize this was a recurring issue with a few phones, not only the T989, but the fixes are missing.
It was doing this on stock 4.0.3, now I flashed AOKP's latest nightly (2013-02-22) and the issue is still there. I havent touched the kernel at all, other than dumping AOKP in there (if it includes a custom kernel then I guess I did, but otherwise I havent flashed anything else other than AOKP).
Anybody knows what is going on, or a tip to figure it out? Its rather annoying not being able to use Wi-Fi, especially since I was hoping I could change carriers to drop my plan prices by half by losing unused data.
I have a Canadian/Telus T989D, using the TLLE4 radio. I will try the TLLG2 (Koodo) radio and see if the issue is still there, but Id like to have a few ideas to try out since Im not really used to the inner workings of an Android phone.
Up, I really need tips on how to try and fix the issue. The phone is barely usable, the USB won't connect to the computer 19/20 times, Wi-Fi doesn't really work, and BT doesn't even turn on. I needed to remove the SD card from my old phone to put in this one and manually transfer pictures I took for job, to put them in the computer...
I flashed TLLG2 radio (Koodo) and Wi-Fi worked immediately after, but again stopped working shortly after. EDIT: BT doesn't seem to work on TLLG2, now that Im back on TLLE4 it works, but WiFi still doesn't work
