Help! Issue with Galaxy Gear - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Posted on Gear forum, no response there.
My bluetooth connection has been driven me nuts.
The spontaneous disconnection happens a lot even with direct line of sight between tablet and watch, oh, I'm using note 10.1 P601 Latin America Edition, watch is Latin America too.
I couldn't sleep well last night because of disconnection and vibration it caused, and there's no way turn that vibration off.
After showing disconnected, the two device connect back on instantaneously. It will happen randomly around 10-90 minutes.
EDIT: I'm using latest software update right now for both device

I have a SM-P601 from LATAM and have used my Gear on it without any problems but I mostly use it with my N3. Make sure the latest version of Gear Manager is installed. There's also a new version of s/w for the Gear itself (MK7) that adds some functionality and may address some connectivity bugs. There have also been reports on both U.S. and international Note 10.1-14's of intermittent BT disconnects so it might not have anything to do with the Gear. There are threads discussing that issue in the general forum.

It's bluetooth disconnect from tablet, drops same time watch and my car bluetooth. I already have latest firmware for my P601. Hoping only that samsung could fix this bluetooth issue.

Samsung Tab sm-p600 WLAN und Bluetooth dont work help pls

Hello, i have a Samsung Tab 2014 SM-P600 and my WLAN and Bluetooth wont Start. I have reinstalled the software and unfortunately set back brought no change. I have read in the forum that it may be with the modem software. Has there anyone have an idea where I can get that come from? (Download) or other solution proposal?
Greetings from Germany
I usually do not reanimate zombie threads... But yesterday it took me a couple of hours to figure out that I have probably a US modem flashed. The wlan freq range is a little different from the German/ European one and you can only connect to your router if you set it to a low channel number e.g. 2. It might be that your issues are related.
Now me too I am looking for p600 modems. Anyone?

OnePlus 3 Problems with Car Bluetooth connection

Hi all,
Since the last few firmware versions (OS 4.02 and above) I´ve been experiencing some issues exclusively with the Bluetooth connection of my car (Jaguar XE). I couldn’t fixed the problem even with the last firmware version rolled out via OTA (4.1.0).
In the last two months the connection of my Jaguar has not been stable at all. Most of the times I am able to pair my phone with the car, upload my contacts and so. However, once I start to transfer music of Spotify via Bluetooth, it keeps failing the "multimedia audio" and the connection is interrupted the whole time. I also lose the connection with the “phone audio”. I seems that my phone disables both connections intermittently. My guess is that Android Nougat is a "control freak" of permissions and this leads to issues with some car stero units.
In the previous versions of the firmware (4.01 and below) I didn´t experienced such problem. In the past I did have perfect connection to play spotify in my car with my same Oneplus Unit. I am very confident that there is nothing wrong with my car stereo unit since the Bluetooth still working fine with my wife´s phone. I haven´t upgraded my Jaguar´s firmware lately…so that shouldn´t be the source of my problem.
Despite of all this, the Bluetooth of my Oneplus unit works perfectly fine with any other Bluetooth devices . In fact I am able to enjoy full connection playing music with my External Speaker (UE BOOM 2) and my Xiaomi roidmi 2s –used in my other car that lacks of Bluetooth technology -.
I´ve tried everything. A couple of days ago I even performed a factory reset using the last version of firmware (4.1.0). Of Course I reset system settings, wiped cache and all data (music, pics…etc)…but still experiencing the same issue. I am desperate.
Any instruction will be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
So there was another thread on these boards, cant find it for right now... but in my experience the problems were only present on OOS rom's.
Perhaps not the best solution, but have you tried a CAF or Lineage OS based rom? All my problems went away after I made the switch
Good luck

Thank you Gomezie, I´ve read all the threads but I dont seem to find the solution.
I stick to stock os. Never changed my stock rom.
The funny thing is that OP stated in its last changelog that they have fixed bluetooth problems....
Kind regards,
Hi, my one plus 3 has the same problem. Done all the required resets and clearing of cache and it still would randomly connect and disconnect. Problem only surface after the recent 4.1.0 update.
My kids phone and wife's phone all have no issues.
My op3 connects with all other Bluetooth devices without any problems.
Mine is a f-pace .
Same problem in Mazda 6
Hi, I've been experiencing similar problem in Mazda 6 after software update. Everything was working perfect in previous versions. I my case problem is with using Spotify. Phone connects to the headunit, just after engine starts with no isuess, but the music won't start to play. Only way to start playback is to disconnect the phone manually and reconnect every single time. Re-pairing the phone with car doesn't help.
I sent an email to customer service a couple days ago. i haven't got any reply yet. I will let you know.
Regards.

I finally did receive a reply from OP customer service: The only solution they offer me is trying a downgrade to OS Oxygen version 3.2.8. This is the link suggested by the technical agent to do so:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_3.2.8/
I haven´t done it yet since I am not eager to this idea.
On the other hand, in the meantime, OP rolled out new OTA 4.1.1. I made the upgrade to the latest firmware version. It seemed to work at first. However right now I am having the same problems with bluetooth disconnecting the whole time.
Any other experiences?? Have anyone solved this issue with new OTA???
Kind regards,
Bluetooth and 4.1.1
It's worse now on 4.1.1. definitely not the car, Samsung works ok
Hi,
I've experienced the same problems starting on OpenBeta 12 and continuing through to OOS 4.1.1. I've posted in the Open Beta 12 thread on the Oneplus forums, and have been contaced by Oneplus regarding the issue. For the Open Beta I have provided log files for them, but due to work and private life getting in the way have not been able to do the same for OOS 4.1.0 or OOS 4.1.1. Also, I did not clean flash, but dirty flash - because I'm really lazy and stuff. It needs too much time, to be honest
Maybe if everyone who has the problem here contacts the guys at OP or the OP forums, respectively, providing logs etc. the problem can be solved faster.
I did some googling around and found a few articles that hinted in the direction of Android 7.1.1 being the culprit, which would mean that Google needs to fix it. In these articles, it said Nexus devices, and a fix coming up...don't know...
Best regards,
Chris
My phone audio always works fine but the media audio on both my nissan and ford sync system works randomly or not at all on both stock and Lineage based roms. My wife's iPhone 6s works perfectly every time on both cars. Fortunately for me it's not a big deal since both cars have usb inputs and I keep all my music on thumb drives...My old Galaxy S6 Edge works fine on both cars too so I am not sure why the OP3 is so spotty.

Galaxy Watch + Samsung Galaxy A50 BT connection problems

Hello.
Been using Galaxy Watch with Lenovo P2 without problems. Time came to get new phone. So i got the idea ( my bad ! ) that Galaxy A50 would be good move. Phone itself is OK.
Also I was counting ( naive ) that cooperation with 2 Galaxy devices will be brillant. I couln't be more mistaken.
BT connection between phone and watch is a nightmare. For first 10 hours it was OK. Next is going wrong. Every few minutes watch vibrates and beeps as BT connection is broken. It established back almost immediately.
This drives me crazy.
Any ideas ? I guess that Galaxy A50 ROM is young and has bugs

No, I have not. I think this is issue of Galaxy Wearable App. Seems to me BT connection is OK but the app does not sync with watch.

Thank you for this hint. I had: Galaxy app and Watch plugin on this list but not Bluetooth. I will try
For those who have problems like me. I think I found the reason of disconnections. Please make experiment: switch off wifi in your phones permanently and check if disconnections occurs during that time.
What I observed: when I switch off 2.4 wifi ( or "forget" all known networks so the phone does not connect ) then BT connection with watch works perfectly.
Strangely enough when I am connected to 5 GHz wifi BT seems to work OK.
So in my case: BT and 2.4 GHz wifi running together causes problems

I have the same problem with A50 & Watch. BT connection drop in every minute.
Tomorrow I will try your idea, what happen if I use only 5 ghz wifi.
Do you have any solution?
Thanks
2 days ago I flashed May firmware update for Galaxy A50. All problems are gone. Connection with watch works perfectly now.

Wifi and Bluetooth stop Working constantly

Hi,
I'm with the A50 for 3 weeks now. In the last couple of weeks I have a very annoying problem. A few times a day (sometimes 5-6) the phone disconnects from the wifi network and turns off the Bluetooth with no apparent reason.
When this happens the Bluetooth is actually turned off (not just disconnects). When I try to reconnect to a wifi network, I cannot (no response from the phone, although it does recognize available networks) and also the Bluetooth cannot be turned on at all.
The only way out of this is to switch to flight mode and back. That resolves it and everything goes back to normal. Then it can happen again in a few minutes or a few hours.
Anyone have an idea what's going on before I throw this phone away?
I thought I'm the only one facing these issues (in my case its not as frequent but its there). I also noticed that when changing EAP settings in certain wifi coneections, the settings app just force closes. Contacted customer support and they recommended doing a factory reset!
There is a big problem on this part of the smartphone, I encounter a problem with bluetooth and the wifi tends to cut also by now, but it returns to normal without going through the airplane mode for me.
I do not know if it's a hardware or software problem, but I think I'll return the smartphone to Amazon and go back to my S7 Edge

Can also confirm. Finished a factory reset now and I still face the same issue with the FC on changing EAP setings. Wifi keeps dropping. Unfortunately mine was bought from mediamarkt about 8 weeks ago. I'll contact the customer support again and see what they recommend.
I have similar problems with BT connected Samsung Galaxy Watch.

As I saw in May update Samsung declares fix for wifi performance.

I just spoke to Samsung Germany today and they told me they are aware of this problem and it should be fixed with the next update and that they are working hard to get out until the end of the month. At least some hope.

Strange issue with Wi-FI and Night Mode
Hi there,
I'm on the latest May '19 update with my A50 (A505FN) and just discovered a very strange issue: when Night Mode is enabled, I can't change advanced settings on WiFi connection, or the Settings app will crash as soon as I tap on the "IP Type" or "Proxy" option.
If I disable Night mode, then everything works fine and I can successfully change the above settings.
Think this is a SW bug...
Did someone experience the same behaviour?
Thanks in advance,

Gps issue

Hi to All, i have problem with GPS, can anyone help me

Is this a software thing?? My phone is new but I have issues finding satellites. Please let me know if anyone has a solution.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I dont know why, but in past devices I have encountered the same behaviour in the first weeks of use, but fine some time later, odd
Mine works perfect, actually better than my older N8, no drifting, much less interference around tall buildings etc. probably due to dual frequency receiver. If mine had such an issue, I would leave it outside for about 10 min to make sure it has enough time and clear sat view to download all the required sat data, especially on first start. later on the data only gets updated and should be much faster Also there is some way to reset GPS, in case it gets corrupted and doesn't work well, but I don't remember how anymore.
Know issue from Samsung
I'm guessing you have the 5G version as I do. There is a major flaw in the software where the GPS location services are unable to handover when the device switches between the 5G chip and the 4G/3G/2G chip.
This is a know fault that Samsung are working on fixing and are yet to release an update. The most obvious time this fault shows itself is when you are navigating and pass from a 5G area to a 4G area (or vice versa). The GPS drops completely and no satellites can be found. Switching off 5G in the settings stops this issue as the device cannot handover to the 5G chip if it's disabled.
This is obviously not a solution and Samsung are sending me updates every few days saying they are still working on it and hope to release a fix soon.
Hope this helps!
T-Mobile Samsung Note 10 Plus 5G - GPS Issue
If you are using T-Mobile version of Samsung Note 10+ 5G you will experience losing GPS signal constantly. The only way to resolve this software bug is:
Settings > Conections > Mobile Networks > Network mode > and then disable 5G Connection
Technically 5G connection there is nothing to do with GPS but at this point you will find it so related as the bug stays at Samsung Software. Hopefully they will be able to come up with a solution.
Check Time Syncronization
The setting to sync time was turned off. I noticed my phone was 7 minutes fast.... checked the time settings.* Turned on auto sync time.* Once the time was synchronized my GPS stopped being spotty and my games and maps that needed GPS started working correctly again.* The March update must have turned it off by default and I did not notice until my phone was off from my clock and other devices.
