[Q] Bluetooth works but suddenly causes bootloop. Is this due to faulty firmwares?

Hey guys, I bought a Galaxy Nexus almost a week back but as its not launched officially in India its not under warranty and so I can't get it replaced.
Out of the box it came with ICS. Everything was going fine including Bluetooth file transfers. But the phone went to a boot loop (stuck at boot animation) when I tried to activate Bluetooth. Mind you that Bluetooth had been working fine, I got this issue all of a sudden.
I went into recovery mode and recovered my phone but all data was lost.
Later I updated to official stock ICS. Again the Bluetooth worked fine for few days and later suddenly went into a boot loop. I recovered my phone but this time too lost all my data.
Now I'm obviously very scared to use Bluetooth. Some people say that its a faulty firmware and I should flash another firmware.
What shall I do? Could this really be a firmware issue? And if yes then which firmware shall I flash and how to flash?
Currently I'm on stock JB on my GSM GNex which is unrooted and has a locked boot loader.

Never heard of this. With all data lost, do you mean the /sdcard partition as well?

I'm sorry I didn't get you. GNex doesn't have a SD card slot, right?

Correct. That's why I said partition.

Well this is my first Android so I don't know much about partitions.
Well when I wipe my phone / factory reset, ALL my data gets removed including images, music, videos, contacts, messages, calendar events, 3rd party apps, etc.

Someone please help.

Bluetooth Boot Loop
Im having the same problem.. Please let me know if you found a solution.. I'll give you update if I find one myself..
The list of Android units that I have encountered this was with
2 units of Asus TF101G and 1 unit TF300T
My TF101G was fixed when I installed a Custom ROM (Revolution HD)
I'm open to rooting my phone but not to unlock the bootloader to keep the warranty..
Hard Reset fixed it but after a few days when I activate the Bluetooth it will start with the Boot Loop.. It's very frustrating to install apps and everything.
Perhaps is it related with the files I installed?

Afaik, bluetooth radio is controlled by the baseband. What version are you guys using?

Im currently using TF300T
Asus Official WW Jellybean ROM
I think It's not related with the JellyBean coz I expereienced it with ICS before when Im using TF101G

The baseband of my GNex is I9250XXLF1. I am on official JB (4.1.1) on yakjuxfw.
Please help me, this is really annoying and I'm very scared to activate Bluetooth now.

You are on the latest baseband and Android version. And since you are completely stock and the problem also manifested itself on ICS, I'm going to say you are probably having a hardware issue there.

That's really sad to hear. And as the GNex is not available officially in India, I can't get it replaced either.
BTW you said 'probably', what can be the other possibility?
Well I too have something to elaborate. Both the times (on ICS and JB), the problem occurred while activating Bluetooth from Notification Toggle (downloaded from Play Store). It's not that whenever I used Notification Toggle did the problem occur. Several times Bluetooth successfully got activated using Notification Toggle.
So as much as I feel that it could be a problem of Notification Toggle, I feel that the opposite is possible too.
Another thing is that I had downloaded a paid app for free from a torrent website. Tapatalk to be precise. Many of my friends suggested that and I wanted to try it out and so downloaded it from torrents. On both bootloop occasions, that 'pirated' copy of Tapatalk was present in my phone.
Now I have purchased Tapatalk, uninstalled that pirated copy, uninstalled Notification Toggle and now I just tried three Bluetooth transfers with my system (2 send and 1 receive) and they took place perfectly. Is it possible that the pirated copy of Tapatalk was causing the issue?
I know it's not ethical and even against the XDA rules to discuss about such pirated copies but I didn't want to hide anything when asking for a solution to my issue.

If the problem happens again, I think you have to return it to where you purchased it from as it may be a hardware defect. Let's just hope it doesn't happen again. And I know you mentioned India does not officially sell the Galaxy Nexus. All the best!

and yes, it happened to me too. Its bootloop, then i took the simcard out, then power on again, but takes a long time, only X logo for more than 10 minutes. Then its going to menu. Then, well, i check the settting, turn on the bluetooth again, bump ! it happened again.
FYI, device not rooted, bought three days ago, and its LOCKED.

Is the problem solved for you? If yes, then how?

@Kanded: Can you please tell whether it's solved or not?

The same problem with me!!
Not just in the GNex, it also happens with me in my HTC One V.. I can't find a fix anywhere on the internet? There's no one who can tell why this happens? I change ROMs but still it happens in every ROM! :crying:
I use Bluetooth for a few days... and BOOM! on one day it suddenly goes into boot loop....

That is exactly the issue I face, exactly the same.

[Q] Just rooted - Phone keeps asking for language

So, I just rooted my Kitkat z1c using xxxOOO's method. It was a bumpy ride but in the end it worked.
Now, there is a funny bug / phenomenon. Whenever I turn on the phone it goes through the "first use" moves. Asking me for language, making me tick a Sony EULA checkbox etc.
Any idea why or how I can get rid of that?

I had the same problem for several reboots, but eventually it did stick.

Hehe, did you also take your SIM out to old phone while tinkering? I noticed it stuck when I first inserted the SIM after rooting / flashing.
Might have been a coincidence though.
Problem solved for me.

I have the same problem and after a few days it still there
Any solution? I even think that it is preventing that the screen asking for the SIM unlock code shows up

Cannot make/receive phone calls/ send/receive text messages - randomly

Hello,
I've a following problem with my LG G4:
From time to time, without any warning, my LG G4 stops receiving phone calls/sms. I cannot make any phone calls nor send sms. Today I've also noticed, that I also couldn't connect to internet.
When I try to make a phone call, I hear no signal, and the dialer is stuck - pressing the button that ends conversation doesn't end it.
Resetting the phone fixes the issue, but after few days it reoccurs.
I'm really worried, because it happens silently, without any warning. For this reason I miss some important messages/calls. Today I had my phone in this disconnected state for ca. 12 hours without being aware of it.
Any ideas what could be the reason? Old/faulty sim card? Please help.
Thanks,
OperatorKoparki.

I have experienced similiar behaviour. Are you rooted, do you use Afwall+

No, I'm on stock LG G4 rom with Android 6.0

I had a similar situation. Raised a trouble ticket with my Operator. Their technical analysis concluded that my phone rejected the calls and SMSes.

This problem was solved with new sim card.

I made downgrade to 5 android and problem is gone.

Thanks to all respondents, it seems I have two solutions I can try: getting new sim card, or downgrading to Android 5.

Reflash ur stock rom again

What did you do?
Hi! How did you solved this issue?
I'm experiencing the same thing, I've even put a new sim in the phone and still the same and since it's so random I can't take the phone to warranty.

New SIM not solved this problem on my G4 but sold solved very good. Mate 9 not have this problem. ?

Not here....
Side note if you say standby: did you activate STAMINA? Then it's a normal behavior depending the percentage you gave STAMINA to get active after Screen off...

Well, stamina is not active... So I have some problems. How can I solve it? I've already made a reset... Should I reinstall the firmware?

Factory reset does the same effect like flashing it new... Dido you get MM over OTA or did you flash it?
I can only imagine you may have flashed a wrong Model-ROM so Baseband etc are not model specific... But ignore my words, I may totally be wrong

I got MM through xperia companion... I did a factory reset using the options in backup.. Is this ok?

Sounds legit... tough I never used companion on any of my xperias...

I,m getting crazy: in two days I have almost finjshed my data.... I did everynthing, even a repair with the xperia companion. Believe me...it's an horrible thing.... Does anyone have a solution?

Are you sure your router isn't faulty? I have MM and no wifi drops
Sent from my E5603 using Tapatalk

I don't have any problems either (other than according to battery management, it takes more battery than I remember). What's the specific model of your phone (E5603, E5606, etc)? You may have already tried but did you check on Wi-Fi advanced settings?
edit: Also, does it works with other networks? Do you remember if you or someone changed something on your router settings recently?

No guys.... Nobady used the router. My tablet xperia z4 doesn t drop... Why does my phone drop? The model number is e5603. My android version is 6.0.

I confirm (E5603). I installed through Xperia Companion and also have problems with wifi.

How can I try to fix the issue? Maybe is there a way to install a firmware using a differnt method such as odin in samsung device?

INstalled update through xperia companion and it works just normally here. May i suggest that you try again?

No Sound during cellular calls HELP!!!

Samsung Galaxy S4 no sound during calls, tried everything , google app, reset, firmware update, even changed the sim card port.
Still same issue the sound works only true Bluetooth !!!

Was the phone ever dropped? Opened the phone and checked for loose connections? External speaker works on calls?

The phone was never dropped, sound works perfect on Skype calls or whats up calls,voice recorder or anything else, as i mentioned before sound not working ONLY on cellular calls! neither external speaker, i can talk only with Bluetooth connected.

I'm expwriencing the same issue. I did some search for older threads and found a couple of aolutions. One guys solved the problem by changing motherboard from a used ebay phone. Another guys changed the sim card reader. I was running CM13 when this happened flashed stock latest stock firmware with odin and issue still persists, is definately a hardware problem. Everything began after droping my phone at work.
