HTC ONE M8 bluetooth wont turn on (Android 6.0) - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
recently I started to use bluetooth because I bought a smart watch which requires bluetooth for smart notifications, ... Its been working great, until one day. Every time I didnt use smartwatch, I turned bluetooth off. And one day I tapped the icon to turn it on, and the bluetooth icon stayed pressed for a 5-6 seconds and then it went back white which means, it did not turn on. I tried everything, reboot, safe mod, recovery mode, force stop, ... Nothing worked. Then I did factory reset, which changed everything and bluetooth started to work again, but not for very long. After 2 days, exactly same thing happend and I have no idea what to do. Im pretty sure its a software problem, but no idea how to solve it. Please any ideas??
Thanks a lot.

Found this on another forum... I had the same problem and it got solved by following this.
What you need to do is clear the Bluetooth Share app cache and data, then perform a Network Settings Reset. I'd recommend doing it in that specific order.
First, open App Manager from Settings menu. Then use the three vertical dots on the top right to open the options. Select "Show System". Scroll to the Bluetooth Share app, and open up it's settings. Tap Storage. Tap Clear Cache, wait a moment, the cache will clear to 12.00KB. Now tap Clear Data.
Next, open the main Android settings again. Go to Backup & Reset, then Network Settings Reset. Tap Reset Settings and enter pin, if prompted. Tap Reset Settings one more time.
After that completes, which should be fairly instantly, try to turn on your Bluetooth. It should turn on! Yahoo! Let me know if this works for you!
Thanks to the original poster (I cannot post links here).

Just got Tilt 2 yesterday...Error saying "Can't turn on bluetooth"

I just picked up my tilt 2 yesterday and up until right now it's been great. I turned off my bluetooth last night before I went to bed, and when I try to turn it on now it gives me an error saying, "Can't turn on bluetooth". I'm trying to turn it on via the Wireless Manager.
Can somebody please help? This is extremely annoying.
I don't know if I understand you well, but here is what I think you could do:
tap on the top bar and you will get the notification manager. On top you will see a bar with your carrier name. On the right of that bar there is an icon that shows the strenght of your carrier. Tap that icon and you will end up in the communication manager. There you should be able to turn BT on or off.
Hope this is helpfull.
regards, Kuzibri

Thanks for the response. This is what I tried doing, and when I try to enable bluetooth I get that error. I'm thinking unfortunately I may have to hard reset already
sorry I could not help you, but I would try several soft resets before a hard reset.
That's okay, you tried!! I tried about 10 soft resets. It looks like I have no choice.
good luck and I hope that the hard reset will do the job for you!!
OOPS, before I forget: do you use RamSweeper? If yes, then this is the problem and not your TP2. Please let me know if you use this program and I will tell you how to avoid this BT problem.
No I do not use RamSweeper. I actually just did a hard reset and bluetooth works fine now. Very weird.
Since turning off bluetooth I've installed SlingPlayer, vibra switch (to turn phone on vibrate fast), and thats all.
OK, nice to hear and good luck. Maybe either Slingplayer or vibra switch is the cause of your problem. Maybe its good to try this out before running into the same problem again.
Thank you for the help. I just installed SlingPlayer and bluetooth still works. I'm going to wait on the vibra switch software because it isnt 100% needed with the Tilt 2. I can always just push the volume down until it's on vibrate.
Thanks again!!
Hey Kuzibri just wanted to let you know that this was the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522373 I forgot that I installed TomTom on there!
I dont know if you still logon or not... my bluetooth wont turn on I tried hard reseting but still get teh status msg "can't turn bluetooth on' any idea how to fix it?

[Q] Display sometimes doesn't turn off?

I've noticed that my display sometimes doesn't turn off. It'll dim like it's about to turn off, but just stays dimmed. It doesn't do it all the time and I can't seem to figure out why sometimes it doesn't turn off and other times it does.
The tablet is rooted, I'm using Nova launcher, and have Hide Soft Keys installed, though have had problems with Hide Soft Keys disabled too. I have a bunch of other apps already loaded too. So before I start uninstalling everything, was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue?

That's because of the crappy power button. You've got to press it harder.
No. I was referring to the automatic idle turn off after a couple minutes. My screen will dim after 2 minutes (what I have the turn off period set to), but once in a while it never completely turns off and will stay on. I set the tablet down, went to the store, came back and the display was still on in a dimmed, but not off state.

Yes I have noticed this as well. Must be a bug? I have my screen time out set to 2 minutes (default I believe) and i have set it down for over 10 minutes and came back with the screen still on.
I did a factory reset yesterday morning.
First, I was kinda surprised after the factory reset, that after I logged into the device again, I found that some of the files were erased, but not all of them. Usually factory reset wipes everything, even the root. But SuperUser was still installed. And I installed AdAway and confirmed root was still working. My TitantiumBackup folder got wiped, but Kindle folder remained. Not sure why the factory reset seemed to only half work.
However it does seem factory reset might have fixed the problem I was having with the screen not turning off sometimes. When I first setup the Nexus 7 I choose the option to restore from my Google backup and I got all the apps I had installed on my Nexus 4 (my Nexus 4 seems fine with those apps). So this time around after the factory reset I played it safe and did not choose the restore from Google backup option and just manually reinstalled the apps I need for now. And so far so good.

[Q] Wifi Calling Keeps Showing Up In Quick Settings

Normally I only have 5 Quick Settings icons enabled (Quick Memo, Wifi, Sound Profile, Data, and Bluetooth), however every time I reboot my phone, the Wifi Calling icon re-enables itself and pushes itself in between the Data and Bluetooth toggles, pushing Bluetooth off of the screen. I realize that it's easy to just go back into the 'Quick Settings' settings and un-tick Wifi Calling again, but it gets really annoying when I reboot multiple times a day. Does anyone know of a more permanent solution besides just un-ticking the box every time I reboot? If it helps, I am using the Gold edition G3 from Sprint and I'm rooted. This 'problem' has been going on since I got the phone.

Does the same on the 855 model with quick remote etc. It's an LG bug it seems (someone else has posted a similar thread iirc)

My Asus Zenwatch has been buggy as heck lately after the last few firmware updates. The main issue now is that the watch face lights up and comes on whenever I move or twist my arm or hand even though I've set and reset the shake to wake setting to "Off". I've tried resetting and rebooting the watch to no avail. I've noticed that the battery life on my watch has shortened now too as it does not even last a full day! I also used to be able to tap the watch face one time to wake it. Now it does not wake up unless I tap the face two or more times. Sometimes it can't wake up at all and is dead until I press the power reset button on the back of the watch.
It is also constantly vibrating every now and then every few minutes as if I got some notification or lost connection with the phone when none of those activities really happen. It just vibrates and then when I twist my arm up to look at it, it wakes up and lights up even though I have "Shake to Wake" mode turned "OFF"! WTF?

I know you said you reset your watch, but have you done a full factory reset? That should fix just about anything wrong with it...
If that doesn't work, try to pair it temporarily with another phone or perform a factory reset on your phone. Maybe there is an app on your phone causing the watch to go haywire.
Go to setting on Zenwatch and search system update, you will go to 5.1.1, the best version I have see on this watch. Then do a factory reset.
I think this will go fine

No that was not the problem. I was already on the latest updated firmware for awhile when all this bugginess happened. Factory resetting the watch did not help.
I did finally uninstall the Android Wear and the Asus Zenwatch Manager apps and cleared those apps data and cache. Then reinstalled them. Did this several times until I got the watch to connect properly and successfully and stay connected. I adjusted all the settings on the phone app itself instead of from the Asus Zenwatch itself and that seems to have fixed my issues. Twist to wake is really "Off" now and the watch does not keep vibrating every few minutes. So hopefully this will not get corrupted again in time (as it seems to have before).

Bluetooth not working

Since this last update that sony rolled out to the my phone my bluetooth will not work at all. I can turn bluetooth on but I get a message that pops up immediately that says Bluetooth share has stopped with an X and close app message. If I tap close app the message disappears and bluetooth turns off and turns back creating the same problem over and over. I cannot turn off bluetooth from the quick settings bar, I have to go into settings and turn it off. Anyone else with this issue or have a workaround or fix for it?
Bluetooth notifier won`t go away
I have a problem where I have a message that pops up and says, "Bluetooth Share keeps stopping."
It has, "Close App" with an X beside it. (only option)
I tap it and it reappears a second later.
I've painstakingly gotten into settings (constantly closing this notifier) and opened Bluetooth and it`s not on so I turned it on but no difference. (notice still popping up)
So I turned it back off (no difference).
I've restarted phone (still happens).
I've turned phone off for 5 minutes and turned back on (still does it).
I've just discovered I can turn it off by sliding down from the top while locked but after a second or 2 it starts blinking so I open it and find it's back on.
Last app I installed was Torque Pro but uninstalled it when this problem arose, thinking it was trying to connect to my OBD2 scanner.
I managed to get a screen shot after many attempts but can't send it as the notifier keeps interrupting.
Wow, no idea why but it's just now stopped doing it after hours of pain.
What the hell?

ever tried on pc companion repair?
No I haven't.
I wasn't aware this phone used it.
All my Sony's have always installed it or accessed it the moment I plugged it in but this phone never did or needed it to exchange files so I figured it didn't use it
