So I am not the only one this is happening to.
I have the Telus variant of this phone, stock. Talking to their tech support, they would have you believe that this is only happening to you.
When phone is first turned on, bluetooth works fine for trip into work. I turn bluetooth off when I get to work and leave the phone on for the day.
I turn bluetooth back on when leaving work and it is intermittent weather it will connect or not. If you go to the bluetooth screen and tap to turn on bluetooth, it shows "turning on..." but does not turn on, no check mark in the check box. After about 30 seconds it stops trying.
At other times it shows it is on and connected to my speaker-phone. When I get an incoming call, the phone will ring instead of the speaker-phone. If you try to answer using the phone you get nothing because it is connected to the speaker-phone but not transmitting.
I am on my 3rd bluetooth speaker-phone, 2 blueant S4's and a Jabra freeway. I have had connection issues with all devices.
I have sent my phone into Telus repair twice and they did a factory flash the first time. The second time I was given a refurbished S2X. The problem is still there even on the replacement device.
The connection issues don't seem to have any consistency factors, ie after running a certain app and it is hard to recreate for Telus staff at store when trying to show the problem.
Lately if you try multiple times to turn on bluetooth when the connection issue is happening, the phone will lock up and turn itself off. At this point I have to remove and re-install the battery or the phone won't turn on.
We have a hands free driving law in Ontario so I need bluetooth to work.
I hope Telus and Samsung can get their heads together to sort this out. I am really starting to get frustrated with this problem.

[Q] no gps animation???

Am I the only one where the GPS symbol animation didn’t work proper?
I would expect a blinking GPS symbol in the status bar till GPS is locked.
The strange thing is, if I start an app using GPS, I will get a static symbol in status bar…. If I connect the device to my pc via usb, the symbol starts blinking till GPS is locked. It only works in this strange way for me, the GPS acquiring must already be started and then connect usb to pc. If usb is already connect before starting GPS… it will not work. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
I hope you guys understand what I mean

For me when acquiring GPS signal it is static with no center dot. Once acquired it is static with a center dot.

hi dennis,
same for me on a deodexed stock 4.0.2.
i checked the xml files in systemui. the xml for gps animation is there! It should toggle the 2 symbols until gps is locked.
can you try the trick with usb connection please? But you must start gps before you connect to usb...

Static icon with no center till locked, then center fills in.
Stock 4.0.2 GSM.

For me it varies, sometimes static whole connecting which makes me think it isn't connecting and sometimes it blinks.

Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues?

When i First got this phone It was working perfect, that was about 2 weeks ago. But now it wi-fi isn't working. It is stock and unrooted. The only time it will connect is if i turn off Wi-Fi on my phone then turn it back on. But then it will only stay connected for one minute before loosing it. And if it does stay connected it only shows one bar of signal strength even though I'm next to the router. Anyone else having this issue? I'm about to just factory reset my phone to see if it will fix this.

There have been quite a few reports of this issue, and the carriers should all have it as a documented bug so you should have no problems with an exchange. Weak wifi & wifi turning itself on have been a problem to many gs3 owners. I recommend calling your carrier & asking for a replacement.

[Q] Shutdown issue (but not the overnight one!)

Hi,
I've been reading the other shutdown issue with interest from the start but I think that my particular issue is different and I'd like to know whether anyone else has my exact problem.
I'm using the o2 UK 16GB version 10A/234 and this is the problem:
When I reboot the phone and it gets to the lockscreen, if the network status is "disabled" on the lockscreen and I swipe to open, the phone shutsdown and can't be started again until I remove the battery.
If I wait for a couple of seconds when the lockscreen comes up, there is a little lag but the phone works as normal.
I can replicate this issue over and over again, so it is not a random occurrence AND this is the second handset that I have had where this exact problem is present.
Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm facing the same issue. Is your device rooted?
At first every (re)boot without being connected via usb to a charger or a computer would result in a shutdown shortly after I enter my pin. After a day of usage I cannot reproduce it anymore, although it still happens from time to time, for example yesterday when I tried to send a text while having very bad to no reception. When it happens I also have to remove the battery or hook it up to a charger, otherwise the buttons/screen would not respond..
I'm thinking there is a (firmware) problem with the chipset since it always happens when my phone is trying/strugling to connect to the mobile network. I installed an app which constantly writes logs to my sd, hopefully that will give me more information about what's causing the problem..
Are you also having bad reception when the device shuts down? My previous device (iPhone 5s) had normal reception in my house, incl. a stable 3G connection, always 2-3 bars of 5. The LG G3 is constantly strugling with the connection to the network and often switches to "emergency calls only"..

This happens rooted non-rooted, stock (no added apps) and always whilst connecting to phone network. Are you on same variant as me and if you leave it for a moment before putting in your pin does it then work ok?. I'm trying to get o2 to change my handset for another model (m8) but they just want to fix my one.

Yes I'm on the same variant. Still running the 10A firmware.
Sometimes it works, but I will do some more test this evening after work and see if I can reproduce it every time and hopefully get some usable logging too.

I think this is fixed in the 10f firmware update that I installed yesterday. I haven't had a shutdown since :victory:
