Wifi and Bluetooth won't reconnect automatically - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

I get a brand new Note 4 a few days ago. The wired thing is both Wifi and Bluetooth won't reconnect automatically. For Wifi, it won't automatically reconnect to my home wifi after I get home. It won't be able to see my home wifi. I have to manually turn the airplane mode on and off to make the connection happen. For bluetooth, I have paired it with my car and Panansonics Link to Cell cordless phone. Both won't automatically reconnect. Sometimes I can reconnect manually and sometimes I have to delete the device then repair the device to make the connection happen. Anyone experiencing the same issue? Anything wrong with my phone? How I can fix it?
Thank you

Yep. Same thing here. I have to reconnect manually all of the time.

Both our note 4s auto reconnect to wifi and bluetooth.
Not exactly sure what would be interfering with its reconnecting ability but I assume standard reset procedures ,battery pull, factory reset etc.
Take it to store to have it reflashed, escalate to exchange device if necessary.

I have the issue with my car. Keeps losing connection to Bluetooth when car is shut off. Next time I turn on car it says pairing failed.

Solved: Bluetooth disconnects once...no matter what the rom...

I have a really weird problem.
No matter what ROM I'm using, when I first turn my bluetooth on and connect with any device after about a minute or two the bluetooth turns itself off and if I manually turn it back on.
It's still connected to the device it was connected to and when I turn it back in it works fine but it will do this once each time I connect to any bluetooth device.
Can someone help?
I had downloaded the "auto off unpaired bluetooth" tasker profile and it had an error in it.
I've downloaded a "fixed" version and hopefully this will fix it. In any event, the phone is fine, but the tasker profile was defective.
I use bluetoothkeepalive from the Google play store. It holds the connection all the time, but I still have issues when I disconnect from my car and then reconnect again the next time..

Reconnecting after out of range issue

If I leave my phone on my office desk and walk away, the watch will not pair back to the phone (Samsung S5). I have to reboot the watch to get it to reconnect. Inside the android wear app it shows as "connecting" and even if I hit the icon to stop and restart the connection process no dice.
TL;dr
I have no issues with random disconnects but when I get out of range it will not reconnect when I am back in range.
I've a note 3 running 4.4.2 rooted stock. No issues here reconnecting.

[Q] Watch continues to disconnect?

Has anyone else experienced frequent disconnects between the watch and the phone?
It was happening with my modded Note 3, which had a custom kernel so I was thinking it may be that. But now (for 2 weeks) I've been on a stock Note 4, and it keeps happening. Every once in a while, once a day or maybe once every two days, the phone and watch disconnect.
Android Wear says "connecting" but never does unless I click on Disconnect and then click on Connect, at which point it connects immediately.
I had "Find My Phone" installed, which would notify me when I got disconnected, so I thought it may be that. Uninstalled it a few days ago. Still happens. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying and I don't see why it should happen.
Any idea?
Noticed the same with my 360 and Nexus 5. Both on stock latest versions.
Issue with mine is that the Moto360 constantly says Disconnected when trying to connect to my Note4. I click connect, it says connected and then quickly changes to Disconnected.
Been trying to figure it out for 3 days now.
I think I realized that the issue is in reconnecting.
I still don't know why sometimes it disconnects, but disconnecting itself wouldn't be an issue if then it proceeds to reconnect on its own.
But I realized that when I'm at home, I leave my phone by the computer and walk around. If I walk outside of the bluetooth range, then it disconnects. That's fine. But then it should reconnect when I come back into range, and it never does. It says "Connecting" and never reconnects unless I do it manually as I said in the OP.
So I guess the question becomes: why does it get stuck on "connecting" when it's in range and should be connected? Is this a Samsung issue or a Moto360 issue?
I have seen the same issue with my Moto 360 and an original Moto X. It normally reconnects but then once in a while it just won't. The easiest solution I have found is to turn bluetooth off and then on again on my Moto X. That always brings it back, a reboot of the 360 does not.
Well as I said in the OP, if I go into Android Wear, click Disconnect and then click Connect, it works. But there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't auto-connect. If it disconnects, and I don't notice, the rest of the day I go without notifications until I realize the watch has disconnected. That's not how this should work.

Hi, i have the same problem, my watch always disconect to my phone (moto x), and then the bluetooth system never start again. When I enter in setup ---- bluetooth---- the bluetooth switch doesn t turn on again until phone reboot.
this is so annoying. and it seems like there's a few people experiencing the same thing but nobody seems to have hit a solution. I have yet to come up with one. if I do, i'll post on here.
Same happens with mine. It just prompts me with a "connect" screen on my phone once in a while. After connecting 2-3 times, it won't appear until next time I turn off Bluetooth.
I get this problem about 2 times per day...running with a Note 2 running 4.4.2 stock but rooted....

Mine disconnects if I go over 50ft from my phone but quickly re-connects when I get back in range. I love the watch!
I have the same problem: mine never reconnects automatically, i always have to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. Maybe a Nexus 4 (LG) Problem?

Yes, I have the same problem and it's very annoying. Every time I flash a new rom or update a rom(Vanir LP) to my phone(LG G3), I have the hardest time getting it to reconnect. I always have to reset the watch to get it to connect again.
Mine worked, connected and reconnected flawlessly and quickly the first five days that I owned it. However the last few days, it's disconnected when I wake up and I have a hard time reconnecting. Now the watch says that it's connected to the phone, but the phone (Android Wear App) can't see the watch. Very weird. I've reset the watch three times. I've un-paired and re-paired the devices in bluetooth. I've cleared cache and cleared stored data and uninstalled Android Wear App, then re-installed it. The Android Wear App just can't find the watch anymore, but the the Watch still shows it's connected. This is maddening.

FWIW, I don't have any problem with my ZenWatch and Nexus 4. I've had the watch for a few weeks now, and no connection problems with it. I do notice that it doesn't maintain the connection for as large a distance as my old Sony Smartwatch did, but it doesn't have any problem reconnecting. I figure the distance issue is because of the use of Bluetooth v4 instead of v3 with the Sony.
Disconnection to Apple Iphone 5
I have the same problem. Does not reconnect. I've tried everything. The only way to reconnect is to unpair the watch which resets the watch to factory default and establish a new connection to the watch.
After software update cannot answer calls etc.
Functionality wise not very good especially to iphone.
Good looking watch though.

Question Bluetooth turning on?

I don't use Bluetooth that often so I decided to turn it off. First I used the quick tile, but it came back on by itself an hour or two later. So I tried doing it in settings. Same thing, came back on.
Bluetooth scanning and wireless scanning are turned off.
Anyone else seeing this happen or have any ideas? Not a big deal but off should be off.
I noticed that too. I feel like there's Bluetooth scanning in the background and turns on when it is around a device it's connected to in the past. I notice when I get in my car, it's already on and connected to it.
yes it drives me crazy. It turns on after each reboot.

I unpaired it from the car and it still does it. But it knows I am in the car because it suggests I plug it in for Android auto. So I suspect you are right, it is scanning even if turned off and turns itself back on when it sees a know device.
