[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.

5.1.1 OTA now available

https://plus.google.com/+WaynePiekarski/posts/2unJBySoqn2
Just to let you all know, the latest version of Android Wear is going to start rolling out via an over-the-air (OTA) update to the Moto 360 today! OTA rollouts are always done over a period of many days, so it will take some time to receive your update. For more details about what is contained in this update, please see my previous blog post:

dude it says that it will be a staggered release in the coming days that means it's going to take some time until someone grabs dota link and puts it available

Time to try every (mostly not working) trick to get the update notification

OTA link or your post is useless thanks

I just got the update too iOS 9.1 turned my 360 into the Iwatch since whenever everybody asks about it " Is that the new apple watch?" No dumbA$$ apple is not the only one that makes smartwatches and phones.

No worries cause I bet my my bottom dollar some joker will no doubt start a new thread about the horrible battery on 5.1.1.

I'm sorry, how do I clean the wear app to try to start the process??

Installed the update, Wi-Fi works with no issues, flick gestures are nice, navigation still smooth, entering settings takes a while, battery seems fine.

Is the VPN part necessary? Thats the only thing I didn't do (because I don't know what it means) and I can't get mine to show the update.

So what's the trick to force an update. . . . Just let a wipe and then reload or what. Never had to force an update before.

-Reset watch
-While watch resets, unpair the watch through BT settings
-Uninstall AW app
-Reinstall AW app
Voila. There's different variations of this, which work for some, and don't for others. Worked for me twice on the 1st day of rollout both times, so the naysayers can keep to themselves.

Moto 360 won't update to the latest version

I've tried resetting it, deleting the wear app, unpairing bluetooth...even tried it on my tablet and the thing just will not find the update. My friend did it the other day on his new phone and it grabbed the new update straight away.
I tried contacting Motorola support and they were useless... Does anyone have any other suggestions? I wouldn't be that bothered but I feel the wifi would make me use the watch far more, plus with the latest version it works with iPhones and I'm thinking of switching to an iPhone 6S Plus!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I would suggest using an older version of Android Wear. I used version 1.3.0.2139573. Once I did this I could update my Moto 360 from 4.4w2 to 5.1.1 without a problem. After that I had to update the Android Wear app on my phone to the latest build and it's all working flawlessly so far :good:

Issues with unofficial MM on ATT

Well, someone had to start this... I know it's not their final release and I am not complaining..!
Been running MM for a few hours.
First issue is with Amazon Prime Videos. Have noticed that downloaded movies can judder and freeze, then BT disconnects. Anyone else seen that?

How do you know that? I thought it was possible that this is the build that will soon go out OTA.

Well it wasn't sent as OTA. So I'm not sure

Samsung Pay allows payment cards to be added, but Android Pay refuses because it says it is unable to verify that your device or the software running it is Android compatible...

I noticed there was an Android Pay update this morning. Do you know whether Android Pay works with the new MM following the Android Pay update?

for my normal day to day tasks no issues here yet. loaded up samsung pay and no issues. didnt even try androidpay

I did the update earlier - Still no go.

I've been running MM for about 15 hours now with no issues. Have not tried Android pay yet, but everything else works without any discernible problems. In fact: Android wear works better now than it did before; whereas on 5.1 it would constantly disconnect, now it doesn't even have a single problem.

Android Pay is no go here also.
Samsung Pay seems to be working.
With new loyalty cards feature added... it's not officially time to ditch Android Pay. It was disappointing since the day they launched

Neither Android nor Samsung pay support my bank but my experience with MM so far has been great. It feels like a brand new phone.

i have been running it for about 30 hours and have not had any major issue. the only minor issue I see is in the messaging app. if you hit the back button to exit out of a conversation and go back to you message list, it exits out of the messaging app all together. other than that, my phone is running twice as fast as it was before. my Bluetooth issues seem to be better as well.

After updating to Marshmallow, I can't seem to have my text messages preview on my status bar; that is, I do not see any words besides the little text icon. Is anyway else having this problem? I have ENABLED "MESSAGE PREVIEW" in the settings within the app, but still no go. Maybe I used package disable pro, disabling an app that interferes with it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Just tested Android and Samsung Pay. Both worked for me.
The only thing I may have done different was I shutdown my device. Entered recovery(power+home+volume up) and cleared my cache.
When I rebooted my cellular data connected to 4G instead of Edge and it detected new updates for the bloatware lol. Worth a try if you need Android Pay.
Just tried a few minutes of movie in Prime Videos and no issues here, Android Wear stayed connected too.

Yep, now that loyalty cards are in Samsung pay, I can now disable Android Pay completely. I have to say Samsung knocked it out of the park with their reverse engineering magnetic strips to allow our phones to work with the older technology.
-----------------
A non-issue, or bonus, is that my battery life has increased a good 30-40% with this update - and thats without using package disabler pro.

What is the lastest GT2 firmware ??

I have 1..0.6.32 currently.

On the other hand, why is there no a specific forum for the Huawei GT 2?

Same version here in UK. Waiting for new Health app so we can officially create watch faces.

There is nothing you can do for speeding up update to your watch. It depends on your area and exact watch model number. Just wait, it will come soon.

according to the vide in youtube the new update brings some fixes and the remote shutter options . so you can use the watch as a remote shutter for the phone's camera. but this also requires the new version of the health app as well

1.0.7.16 as well today, they also added 10 new watchfaces, 2 or 3 look quite nice

Did you buy both on the same day?
I think they are updating by serial number but old ones first. Mine bought recently and also did not update.
I'm from Brazil.

1.0.8.16 for mine.

1.0.8.16 same for me too , in Poland

1.0.9.58

after the last update the missed calls show only the number and not the name of the contact.
Before I do not have this problem.
Can you suggest me a solution to this problem?
