Wifi won't turn on - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

At first I thought it has something to do with JB roms but I tried going back to stock as well. Wifi will not turn on! Even bluetooth sometimes doesn't turn on. Send phone in for repair?

Ok, so wifi is working now but bluetooth is not? It's like one will work but not the other!

Bluetooth wont Disable

Hiya...
I have tried searching for anything todo with bluetooth not disabling... I dont even use bluetooth but accidently turned it on the other day, and since then i cant turn it off... I am running MCR r2 with no problems until this...
I have tried turning it off but it just sits on "turning off..." have turned the phone off and back on at this stage but bluetooth re-enables... have tried going into aeroplane mode and trying to switch off bluetooth before it activates etc.... Still no luck.... is there another way of turning bluetooth of?!?! Stopping a service/process or anything!!
Any help would be great...
Thanks in advance
No-one have any ideas?!?! Its eating my battery and i dont fancy reflashing my ROM just to sort it out... But i guess if needs must
Is the bluetooth controlled by the Kernal or by the actual rom!? If i could get away with only flashing the Kernal with a known good one then im happy with that!!

Going from 4G connection to WIFI requires reboot

Good afternoon,
I read in another thread on here that there are a few that have experience this and one mentioned that there is a fix somewhere but I've searched and haven't been able to turn up anything.
Basically, after I connect to 4G, then go back home and want to connect back to WIFI, I have to reboot before WIFI will work. And vice versa. After connecting to WIFI, I have to reboot before 4G will work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue. That will be a real pita.

Have you tried turning the radios on and off? Perhaps turning them both off then back on? perhaps turning on airplane mode then turning it off?

Say I'm at work on 4G. When I get home and then turn the 4G radio off and turn WIFI on, the WIFI radio fails to even turn on. I get an error saying it couldn't be activated...or something similar. Haven't tried toggling airplane mode.....

If you leave 4g and wifi both on through out the day do you run into problems? Or is it just initializing them after they have been off and you've been using the other radio.

So far it's been just initializing them after I've been using the other radio. My habit has been leave home, turn off WIFI and turn on 4G. Arrive home, turn off 4G, turn on WIFI. I haven't tried leaving both radios on all day... Hmmm....
Airplane mode does nothing.
Wifi on, turns off 4g. You can have one or the other on, not both.
Reboot phone, the first one you turn on, either wifi, or 4g, gets control until the next reboot.
I cannot find any way around it. Going to test a stock rom.
Stock ROM had 4g turned on and connected. (this is stock with the latest update)
Turned on wifi, it changed the status of 4g to Disconnected and it did enable wifi.
Must be something with the radio..
I am on DC 3.2.3 and baseband version 2.05.00.06.10
I'm on DC 3.2.3 Baseband version 2.05.00.06.10.
Radios *should* be fine. I did whitslack's method then flashed DC on top of that. Grrr... Sure is annoying having to reboot twice a day.

Bluetooth issues.

I was wondering if anybody has any issues with bluetooth not been able to reconnect or just not sending sound to the bluetooth device, sometimes on mine I have to reboot the phone cause the BT doesn't turn off....

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.

Bluetooth stops working intermittently

I just got my Sprint GN a few weeks ago, and love using the bluetooth to connect to my car audio, but every 3rd or 4th time I get into my car I notice the bluetooth doesn't pair, so I take out my phone and look and the bluetooth icon is gray (instead of blue, indicating it has connected), I toggle the bluetooth off, and then when I try to turn the bluetooth radio back on it just sits there saying "bluetooth is turning on...". Bluetooth stops working until I reboot my phone
Does anyone have any incites into this or anyone else experiencing this?
I have the same issue. It's no solution but you can enable/disable Flightmode to get Bluetooth up and running again (but quicker then reboot).

I'll give that a try (again) next time.. I am 100% certain I had tried that, though, unfortunately.
Yeah, I tried your solution again, and it just keeps saying "bluetooth is turning on..." even after I've turned *on* airplane mode.
Need some more information to be able to help you properly >_>
Stock ROM or Custom?
Rooted/Unrooted?
Or alternatively (Because it sounds like you're running a stock Galaxy Nexus...) ave you tried unpairing, and the repairing the devices?
Hi Zach,
Completely stock & unrooted (so far)
I actually did a complete factory reset a couple days ago, and the problem has yet to resurface, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's gone, but the issue was intermittent so there is no way to be completely sure it won't show up again.
If it does, I'll try your suggestion, thanks

[Q] Wi-Fi is not turning out, all of a sudden. Possible conflict with Hot Spot.

A few days ago I noticed that my network would always stay on 4g. Normally the phone kicks over to my home WiFi without a problem. Now I can't turn the Wi-Fi on, but when I try to turn on the Wi-Fi from the settings, it turns the mobile hotspot on. I've never had a problem before. I have FoxFi that I use to turn on my mobile hotspot and it's always worked fine. The hotspot still functions perfectly fine, but the wifi doesn't. I am rooted and running a 4.3 version of Nebula ROM. Also, I just noticed when I boot my phone up, it starts with the hotspot activated. Not too long ago I flashed the full firmware here . And here is the Nebula ROM.
