When I try to turn on bluetooth, the icon and text indicates that the system is trying to turn it on. However, it never actually turns on and after a few minutes reverts to indicating that BT is shut off. This problem used to occur sporadically and sometimes seemed to be cured by rebooting. However it is now at the point that it just won't turn on no matter what. I did the requisite googling and found nothing very definitive. It looks like I may have to do an exchange on the unit but I would rather not go to the effort of unrooting this unit and rooting the replacement.
Any suggestions of things to try beyond what I have indicated above?

Are you using an experimental ROM or stock rooted?
Jedi Mind Trick XI (although the problem has been growing worse and has happened across the last several JMT versions). I will give a stock rooted ICS a try.
I just tried a stock rom and the problem persisted.
I have the same problem
I have scoured the net looking for an answer, any answer, to this problem. It seems that a few people are having the same issue. But before it is ever answered, some dip$#!t always jumps in and says "I have the same problem, my phone won't connect to my car." Then the conversation goes off into other people that can't connect their bluetooth to their car or their headset- or their cat... That is not the same problem!!!
I cannot turn my bluetooth on unless I soft reset the phone. Even after I've gotten the bluetooth working, if I restart my phone the bluetooth turns off and when you try to turn it on, it says "Turning on Bluetooth..." It cycles for about a minute and a half and then goes back to "To see devices, turn on Bluetooth."
I bought this phone on Amazon for what appeared (at the time) to be a reasonable price. Since then, I believe that I have read at least one of the seller's post about bluetooth not coming on (no proof, just an educated guess). The seller probably got rid of the phone because noone could or would give an answer to this problem. Heck, it's possible that every post that I've read so far is by someone who owned this phone at one point or another. :silly:
I am sending this post to XDA because even the adminstrators on android forums say that you guys are the smartest and most responsive forum available. (Okay, they didn't say smartest- it was implied). Please help me resolve this issue.
I rooted this phone the moment that I pulled it out of the box. In other words, I don't know if the bluetooth issue is caused by the root, or if the previous owner didn't root the phone and also couldn't get the bluetooth to work. I believe that, because the phone is rooted, I should be able to remove and reinstall the app that bluetooth is based upon.
I am not a techie, the only reason I know anything about root is because I was complaining to someone about my old phone and how all of the bloatware that seems to constantly run eventually kills my battery. He told me about rooting, and it was easy enough - the rest is history. In other words, if you ask me for more information- I promise that I can give it to you. Yet, have patience with me if I ask you a question that you believe that any person that has rooted their phone should know.
I really hope that you guys can help me without bricking my phone. I truly appreciate any suggestions or thoughts on this matter.

I may have figured out what is going on, although I can't understand why it is (maybe someone more versed with processes can help me figure this out).
Using Titanium Backup, I first froze the two bluetooth items (Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth Test). Of course, that didn't remove anything, but I wanted to make sure that I could. Then I wanted to see how Bluetooth Share would react without Bluetooth Test. I unfroze Bluetooth Share.
I was then able to turn on and off Bluetooth fine. I restarted the phone and Bluetooth came in just like it did on my old phone. I guess I want to know:
1) Is the Bluetooth Test the cause of my problem?
2) Why is it there?
3) If I uninstalled it, would I experience a major hiccup?
There is still the possibility that this was simply a fluke, and very soon I will go back to the old bluetooth soft reset problem.
There is, however, one distinct difference between this phone and the last and may be the "drop out" that everyone else seems to be having. I have a Chevy Malibu with bluetooth in the stereo. On my old phone, when I started the car and got going, the word "Bluetooth" would appear on the digital display for about 10 seconds, which means that the vehicle detected and connected the bluetooth pairing. Yesterday, as I was driving in the car, every 5 minutes or so, "Bluetooth" would appear on the digital display.
This leads me to the conclusion that Bluetooth is dropping out and being picked up continuously by my vehicle. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm okay with that as long as when I am talking to someone for more than 5 minutes I don't have to keep calling them back. I simply want to know what you guys think about this issue.

I am beginning to think that the problems I have had are related to the condition of the battery contacts.I have several third party batteries with contacts that are somewhat damaged from the pins on an external charger that came with them. I seem to experience a variety of problems when I try to use them.my original factory battery seems to work most of the time. I have several new Samsung batteries on order and will post again if they seem to solve the problem.

i had the same problem and it started with JMT so I switched roms countless times and the problem kept coming back. It would work for a little bit but when i turned it off it would not turn back on. I decided to go back to stock to see if the problem was still there and it was gone. Since then I have rerooted and once again flashing diff. rom every other day and bluetooth works just fine.
Well it seems no answer was found. I'm having the same issue as stated above. In my case, my bluetooth (custom ROM) keeps trying to turn on with the message "Turning On Bluetooth" until I soft reset the phone, after that it works fine.

Was having bluetooth crashes for months using CM 10.1 on a T989 (no custom kernels)
Would crash anytime I tried to connect to car BT audio, or would simply not start up.
Flashed this yesterday.... and no crashes!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174100
For flash: Wiped dalvik/cache, flashed, fix permissions, reboot, start BT, deleted all devices, re-add.
No BT crashing of any sort for 36 hours now.

Hey thanks! I switched to JMT JB4 and it's not happening (much) now, I'll try to flash it and see if it fixes something :good:
I've had the lg g3 (verizon, rooted) for almost 4 months. The phone has worked flawlessly with my car bluetooth until the past week or so. Now it, randomly disconnects from the car. I recently added clean master and cm security to my phone, but I deleted them to see if they were the problem and I am still getting random disconnects. Any ideas? Is there some type of app I can use to monitor (log) processes during the course of the day to try and identify what is causing the disconnect? I have tried unpairing and re-pairing the phone. The first time I used the phone after the re-pairing, there was no disconnect, however, in subsequent trips, the disconnect issue reappeared. Any suggestions appreciate, thanks in advance!
I have problem with reconnection of my SW3 to my Note 3 with Android 5.0 when I am away for longer time period.
Maybe this problem is connected with lollipop or newer Android Wear App, because about month ago this was going well.
Strange is that on watch is "no connection" icon and on phone is "connected". So phone is making no atteption to reconnect, even bluetooth on/off does not help, I have to restart my phone.
Any help with this problem?
Factory reset your watch then in the wear app press "Forget Watch" that's what fixed that problem for me.
My bluetooth is turning itself off randomly. It comes back on within seconds, but when its off the symbol disappears from the notification bar, the button shows bluetooth off and of course everything (car, Wear device, etc) disconnects. It then quickly comes back on.
I did not have this problem until I did a factory reset on my device. My device is bone stock, unrooted, running latest OTA. Prior to the factory reset, Bluetooth was rock solid. Installed apps are exactly the same pre/post reset so I don't think its a rogue app.
I also noticed that FoxFi randomly drops the connection with tethered wifi devices, which also did not happen before the factory reset. Was thinking that even though it's not using bluetooth this could possibly be a related issue, maybe due to a memory leak or some other Lollipop nonsense?
Anyhow, I've tried re-pairing devices and clearing bluetooth app data, but no dice. I'm about to do another factory reset but wanted to see if anybody else has suggestions before doing so.
Hello. I have Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 and have a few issues with it. First thing is battery life. After upgrading from Android 7 to Android 8, battery life significantly decreased! I even know the reason why it is happening (it decreases on standby mode. If you will remove SIM card or go to the Airplane mode, battery life is great) Probably many of you know about this issue? - Do you know how to fix this?
Another problems started about an year ago. Firstly, we were not able to turn on WiFi. This is also known issue on Lineage OS as I know, but this phone is still running its original Android 8. After few months, we could not turn on Bluetooth as well. After that, I tried a factory reset and that is when things got worse! After factory reset, phone was still not able to turn on WiFi and Bluetooth and plus it was restarting over and over again. During these restarts, you can not turn off your phone. If you will push the Power off button, it will simply restart the device. After a long time it stops restarting and you are able to turn it off, but Wif and Bluetooth are still not working. If you will turn off phone then it still starts restarting again and again. Now I have noticed that it shows antenna when there is no SIM card in it. Even signal strength is changing. Of course if I am trying to call or go to the settings, it says that there is no SIM card inside.
Please, could you help me to solve any of these problems? I have cleared partitions, made factory reset few times, wrote latest firmware for this model using Odin but none of them fixed anything.
Can I downgrade to Nougat? or should I try some custom ROM? If yes, which one?
