Bluetooth not turning off

Hi guys
I've been getting fairly decent battery life, however am now connecting my phone to the car daily via bluetooth.
I've noticed some battery drain and after checking the built in battery stats and also better battery stats app, my Bluetooth is not turning off when I'm selecting it.
IE, connected on the drive to work, get to work, disconnected then turned off, but showing as constantly on.
Any ideas what could cause this?

I have noticed the same thing when viewing battery stats although I never use bluetooth and it's always off.

Any updates or anyone else having the same problem?
I also noticed it just a minute ago. gsam monitor tells that bt was on for 6hrs+ which is the exact same time with phone radio.
Earlier this week connected to my boss' car radio for bt aux, this is the first and last time I used bt. Switched it on&off from settings, nothing changed.
SH26CW, running 4.0.4
Might be useful to give the serial no's since it is useful information about the production site and date.

Same issue here, and same Android version. GSam always reports the same Bluetooth on time as the time unplugged, ie. it's saying that BT has been on all the time, while it's clearly off. I've tried different ways to switch off BT (using widget, using settings, going into Airplane mode and back) but to no avail.
Part of me is suspecting that GSam might be reading the wrong value and falsely reporting it as Bluetooth. But perhaps someone with a different battery monitoring app could check on this and confirm?

It is a bug, to solve it you will need to restart your phone.
This is the only way I find to solve this on stock 2.17/Android 4.0.4.
This bug is caused by turning your Bluetooth on and off.

I faced the same problem? But does that use battery? Actually.the Bluetooth is off.

Hmm, user fault then hheheheueh
the strange thing is, it does not consume battery at all. ok it's not connected to any device but I would think it would consume more than just %1.
may be non-discoverable makes it use less. not broadcasting anything.

A restart sometimes fix the problem but not always. Today I had bluetooth turned off then after restarting by four hours my device reports that bluetooth has been on for 4 hours even though I didn't turn it on and it shows that it's off.

Glad I'm not the only one
I do find a reboot fixes it, but I don't want to have to reboot my phone every time I get out the car.
I'll get my serial number when I'm home and see if its the same

I'm now having a chat with HTC live support about JB update and also asked the question about BT off issue.
He said, please follow the following steps.. Waiting for what he'll say..
So he suggested booting in safe mode, going to applications? >> manage, uncheck.. ? I'm not familiar with safe mode so I cannot surely say what he is talking about.
Has anyone tried this? Did it work?
So he sad that this will solve if an application is triggering the problem, but I haven't used any applications that use BT.
So, the next suggestion is factory reset, bullsh*t. sorry guys =)
useless post may be, but confirms that HTC official support has no fixing for this.

Hahaha, that's funny and more towards Apple ideology.
Bluetooth was designed to be efficient. But, if its running then it consuming energy ,and that's something I don't like.
I already checked logcat/kmsg ,but nothing about this Bluetooth issue.
I didn't see anyone on JB came to complain about this, let's see what the offical JB has to offer.

Try to disable "fastboot", and give it a try.
I am afraid nothings more can be done on stock, other option is to wait for JB and hope it already fixed.

Safe mode is a mode in Android, that will will disable all the 3rd party installed apps. Similar to safe mode in Windows. After your turned on your phone, just press on the volume key and it will get you there.
Beside that, I never trust customer support, and I never had a good experience with any of them.
The only good thing is about companies offering customer support, is they add job opportunities into the economy.

This problem just crept up on me. I noticed the battery was lower than normal, I checked BBS and it seems like BT never turned off. A reset would solve the problem until I turn BT back on again.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed with 4.1?

It seems so, at least on my One X G Sam is now reporting the correct BT on-time, whereas pre-JB it was continually on, clock ticking even after turning it off.

[Q] HTC one V g-sensor not working

All of the sudden my screen wouldn't auto rotate in both apps and normal interface, i haven't downloaded any app recently so i don't think it is caused by an app.
Things i've done to try and fix it: - turn auto-rotate off\on in quicksettings notification bar, did the same in screen settings and again in accessibility
- calibrated g-sensor, which doesn't give any errors
- rebooted phone after calibration or auto-rotate setting change(multiple times)
- downloaded phone tester app and it can't find the g-sensor
I'm on the last update of Suprimou rom with titanium kiss kernel and have been on this rom for a few months now.
Any suggestions?

HTC one x had the exact same problem which you are saying ..there were a few solutions which worked temporarily well so u can search Google for the same problem but just mention one x, u will find some solutions ...try this my frnd also had a one x he tried the solutions which worked fr a week but ultimately he had to sell his phone...good luck..

Here's a link with problems and a few suggestions..
Hope ur g sensor starts working and this s*** doesn't happen with me and other HOV users..

Thanks, im trying some methods out now, really want it to work again because i don't think htc would like it if i'd send a phone in with unlocked bootloader and this kind of problem.
Update, It's working again! not sure how long it will work.
I rebooted several times while holding down volume up button, then turn it off and let it sit for 10 min.
Now it's working

happened same thing to me so returned to the stock then it was fine now again I'am rooted

[Q] Bluetooth hanging at turning off.. Searched.

As the topic states. Tried searching and couldn't find anything...
Running the latest stable CM 10.1.
Bluetooth hangs at 'turning off' about 50% of the time, and have to reboot to get it started again.. Is this a known issue? Anything I can try to at least minimize it?
Thanks..

not sure about CM10.1 but on Paranoid Android 3+ there is a problem like that. When connected to a Bluetooth device everything works, its just when you disconnect.
In PA3+ on the I747, IF you disconnect from the phone it screws it up and need to reboot. If you disconnect from the Device it works fine.
You might want to try that

It does happen, although, you don't have to reboot. Go into apps->All->Bluetooth Share and force stop it.

Is there a way to create a shortcut to do this? This happens mostly in the car, and would prefer a one touch approach..
Thanks.

If there's, I don't know about it. Although, you can put a running apps shortcut on your home screen with a 3rd party launcher which saves half the time.

HTC One M8 with Ingress

Has anyone tried Ingress with the M8 yet. I'm curious how the GPS performs with all the metal in this phone.

No issues here. The GPS really shouldn't be any different for ingress than other apps. Though the ingress compass appears permanently broken. Other apps have no problem with the compass but ingress can't get it right no matter what I do.

I have no issues at all, not even with the compass. I feel like its not using the right drawables, buttons and other UI elements seem oversized but GPS, etc. work great.
Edit: The LTE coverage around here is great and I don't have to deal with the drop-back to 3G (which basically kills ingress) like I had to with the One S. That, plus the slightly larger battery makes this a much better Ingress phone than my old one.

Turn the back of the phone to the sky!

I got the compass to work with the m8 in Ingress! All you have to do is point the back of the phone directly up. After trying that orientation I tried some others and as it turns out, landscape works too. Keep in mind for all of these *working* orientations, the top of the phone is your direction vector.
I doubt anyone will play by walking around with their m8 turned screen down (and walking backwards), but the landscape orientations might help

are you all having any issues with Ingress after 1.54?
I can't see myself anymore. The arrow and circle are both gone.

That happens randomly on every device once in a while. My M8 works awesome for Ingress. Great GPS & LTE & my compass work perfectly in any orientation. With Flar2's ElementalX & a couple of tweaks, I get 5+ of Ingress screen on time.
BTW, that issue I've never had on the M8, but N7 & N5. A wipe of cache & dalvik with a reboot usually fixes it.

Make sure you do a full power down of the phone (Turn off Fast boot in the Power menu) and bring it back up. I only see this issue when I switch SIM cards and doing a full power off fixes it for me.

app restart while opening media files and passcodes
Hey guys,
I'm having issues when trying to open media files or submitting passcodes.
The app restarts to scanner. Tried several things: set chrome to default browser, made sure YouTube is working, but nothing seems to do the trick.
Have a rooted M8, almost stock Rom..
Anyone ideas what problem might be ?

No now playing in Sounds setting?

Just got a pixel 2 xl and one of the features I was most excited about was Now Playing, unfortunately I can't find it anywhere in settings>Sounds>Advanced settings, any idea what could be wrong?

Settings, Security, lock screen preferences then it should be in there

Thanks for the quick reply, I got it ,I had to install pixel ambient services from play store but now I've another issue, now playing isn't working, I've tried turning it on and off and on and even rebooting my phone but nothing, tried with many songs but doesn't recognize any, any one else faced similar issue?

It's glitchy at best. Works sometimes for me and takes a long time to recognize a song. Much more of a novelty item

For me works well with commercial music. If I listen the sort of music I like best.. Nothing. Not surprised there though.
I hope they'll be adding songs to the database and make it more useful.

Well, it takes quite a while to recognize a song, and it can range from several seconds to even minutes. I wouldn't rely on it being able to pick up every song out there, especially at low volumes or loud environments that can make it harder for the device to recognize songs. Also, you might want to make sure that you're not covering the microphone and that your microphone works perfectly fine.

It was working for me, but it has since stopped. I think it happened when Google issued the November update. Looks like they might have broken something.

Tis a poor feature. Only recognises very famous songs. The sort of songs you already know the name of!

Plus, Google Hates Christmas. 1 in 3 Christmas songs don't show up.

Many users facing this problem. Even me, After enable now playing feature it's not working properly. But after uninstall Words With Friends 2 game, it's work like a charm.
