Bluetooth Refuses to Turn On. HELP! - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ahoy XDA!
So for some reason every time I try turning on Bluetooth, I click the checkbox to activate, it hangs for about 10 seconds, then just turns off. I am unable to get bluetooth to turn on. Any suggestions or ideas as to what might be going on? I don't know how to access the logs to check any output so if anyone can help out with that I might be able to fill you in with more info.
Thanks so much for the help!

Not sure if it's helpful, but a similar thing happened to me when I accidentally tried to root a stock rom with the wrong version of superboot. I used superboot for ERE27 after I'd updated my phone to ERE36b, if I recall.
I just reflashed the proper superboot and was good to go.
Now I'm on CM5.0.5.3, though, and that was a while ago, so...

Just a quick FYI.
Im running CM 5.0.53 with the latest radio. It still just refuses to turn on. I even did a stock restore from a nandroid backup (found on this forum) and then re-upgraded to the latest CM.
This is so frustrating, I hate having to carry my USB cable everywhere just to transfer a single file now and then.
Thanks for any help that you guys can provide. I know there is a way to check log outputs, any info on how to do that which could lead to the discovery of my issue?
Thanks,

a logcat would be useful!!

aha... adb logcat
/me smacks head... working on it now.

So here is what my logcat reports when trying to activate bt:
V/BluetoothEventRedirector( 160): Received android.bluetooth.adapter.action.STATE_CHANGED
D/NetworkLocationProvider( 82): onCellLocationChanged [19696,27182127]
D/NetworkLocationProvider( 82): onCellLocationChanged [19696,27183656]
E/bluedroid( 82): bt_enable: Timeout waiting for HCI device to come up
V/BluetoothEventRedirector( 160): Received android.bluetooth.adapter.action.STATE_CHANGED

Any help on this would be fantastic... at least a direction to go... I just used a fresh nandroid backup and restored to factory. But i'm guessing that doesnt touch the radio.
So here is where I'm at:
Firmware Version: 2.1
Baseband: 32.19.00.16U_202.02.14
Kernel: 2.6.29-gad36b87 ([email protected] #1)
Build: ERD79
The bluetooth has definitely worked before so i don't think it's a hardware issue. This is just really frustrating and I feel like I don't have many options.
Thanks!

Does anyone have a link to the stock kernel. I think this all may have started when I tried flashing a zimage a long time ago. I'm thinking if I flash a stock kernel or stock radio image that may do the trick.
Anyone...?

Update:
Tried updating the radio, reflashed with enom's latest, even updated the kernels. Still no go.
This is so frustrating...

or... perhaps there is a module that is missing that I can push. Is there a bluetooth module located somewhere that someone can post up?

Almost sounds like hardware

How do you have a 202.02 radio version? And your build number "ERD79" is out of date. Latest should be EPE54B.
Flash latest radio (4.04.00.03), flash CM5.0.6, and if you still have a problem it is certainly a hardware issue.

Ok. Managed to install the latest CM. Now it looks like I'm running,
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
Kernel Version: 2.6.33.2-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: CM-5.0.6-N1
Build Number: EPE54B
I cant seem to find the update to EPE76 but either way, my Bluetooth will still not enable. logcat prints the same errors as before. This is weird because it has worked before, only briefly. Would it make sense to just fail like that?
Thanks,

Don't worry, you have all the latest versions of everything now. And since it is still not working, I think it's time to phone in to HTC. It is a possibility that you had a faulty chip that worked for a little bit but overloaded and is now fried. Cause I have Bluetooth working on my phone and my About screen looks exactly like yours.

[Q] Cannot enable Bluetooth

When I try to enable Bluetooth, buttons becomes gray for a 5-10 seconds, appears message about switching on, and then - checkbox becomes unchecked.

Must BT-module return any debug information ? Can I check it by software way ? Or really it can be completely dead ?

[Q] hi noob here

Ok i have done some searching on this forum looking for my answer but not much luck. I have the captivate. i realy like the phone and its display. i had it rooted with atts stock rom for a while. but since att was draging there feet with the 2.2 update i have flashed a few new roms. all of wich when im in the car listening to tunes if i got a call the music would stop and i could hear the call through car speakers stoped working. I have tried diff roms and no luck to fix. so is this something to do with the 2.2 update. I was reading another post and if i read right it looks as if it is. I am currently running pheonix 4.5 wich has been my fav rom so far. So to get my calls to go through car speakers again what do i need to do? I know there is apps and so forth to make the phone go to speaker, but 9 times out of 10 i cant hear speaker phone in car.
Also i have the exchange pin. whats a good way to nuke that?
There are kernels or view that allow balks through head set. This should fix your problem. What rom are you on, what kernel
im using pheonix 4.5 kernal 2.6.32.9
Phoenix does not show actual kernel but you are on an old version of hard hardcores kernel
If you want a fix follow these steps
Dl this
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B-3n...WIxYTQtMTdhYzgzMjdjODg4&export=download&hl=en
put on internal sd
Dl sgs kernel flasher from market
Open app
Choose kernel
Tap .....
Find the kernel you downloaded
Select
Flash kernel
Phone will reboot
The kernel info will read the same. Try to make a call now, should work
What modem are you using
ok noob ? #2 how do i know what modem im using?

[Q] wifi error / sd not mounting

G1 wifi has stopped working and has 'error' listed underneath wifi option in wireless setting...
Also, the sd card doesn't mount... what's worse is this problem is intermittent..
I'm currently using FroyobyLaszlo 5 and the problems are both still here.. I was using cm6.1 for awhile and eventually tried a couple other roms, but the wifi error and sdcard problem carry over thru each flash. I forget which rom i flashed to where the wifi function broke.. I've flashed back to the cm6.1 2708port nandroid backup I saved (which was the last working rom where I had working wifi) and still the wifi error! I've tried a few different kernels as well and still nothing..
Can somebody help me get these fixed?? ..thanks
hboot - 1.33.0013d
radio - 2.22.28.25
recovery RA-dream-v1.7.0
UPDATE 1: I began to re-flash the original tmobile nbh image in order to restore the phone and start all over again, but now I'm stuck with that image flashed and can't access fastboot on the phone anymore.. The phone probably needs to be re-rooted now, but I can't access wifi (which means I can't sign in to google in order to get to the phone's desktop and then perform the root procedure).. Now I can't flash anything!! HELP plz???
hboot - 0.95.0000
radio - 1.2.12.29
UPDATE 2 - Ok, I got everything (hboot 1.33.0013d , radio 2.22.28.25, laszlo 5.1 rom) flashed back to the G1 again, but the wifi error persists and so does the intermittent sd card issue.. I think the sd card problem may be hardware related..sometimes It'll work for a minute after I remove the card and re-insert it, then it'll stop working again..
*edit* Can someone or has someone already made a patch to disable the function of that little trigger inside the micro sd card reader on the g1?? That little switch that pushes in when u close the sd card cover.. Apparently, this might cause my sd card to not function, so I figured that somebody may have made a patch to disable this and make the sd card work outright without that little button inside needed..
First, try a SuperWipe. Sometimes junk gets left around even after a wipe through recovery that causes very weird problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
I haven't heard of a patch to do that. It might not even be possible if it is implemented in hardware. You could try opening the phone and modify it to always keep that trigger closed, as a last resort.

ok i'm gonna try to flash superwipe2 but atm the sd card isn't readable even in recovery, so I'm gonna have to play around and hope I get lucky and the sd mounts in order for me to flash superwipe... if/when it happens, i'll post an update..
finally managed to superwipe AND re-flash laslo 5.1..
the g1 still has the wi-fi 'error' and of course the sd only works intermittently.. I lost count how many re-boots and how many times i re-inserted the microSD card until i finally got it to work long enough to flash it this time
so what files are involved in the wifi anyway?? Can I manually replace a driver perhaps?... or something?!?
The wifi kernel module is located at "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko". This really sounds like a hardware problem if it is occurring in recovery too. Have you tried ROMs other than laslo? Try a stable CyanogenMod or BiffMod ROM.

thnx , I'll read up on this..
and also, I've used cm6.1, 2708port cm 6.1, and sparksmod rom 2.. i had biffmod installed for like a minute or so before i switched to something else due to the wfi error.. maybe i could try it again, I can't remember if there was something else wrong with biffmod or not, but I do know the wifi issue carries over thru different roms.. pretty much on all these roms I've experienced lag, fc's, broken apps, battery drain, and now the wifi problem and sdcard problem..

so can I download and replace the wifi kernel module with any one I can find? or does it need to be a specific one? I still need to fix wifi... thnx
No, the wifi kernel module has to be built specifically for kernel. You can try flashing a different kernel (with a wifi module) though. Here are some to try:
2.6.35.11 by Pershoot: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=1563
2.6.34.8 by ezterry: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11565574&postcount=670

for 2.6.35.11 pershoot, I get the 'failed' error when flashing thru recovery.. i used the nfs_32b_radio2708.zip
for 2.6.34.8, I've flashed and rebooted and still the same wifi error =(
Is the "wifi module" already included in each kernel zip?? Or do I need that too??
thnx

Read through the whole post again. That isn't the kernel.

It is included with the kernel.
a user on another forum posted "Could you guys check if your wlan kernel module is loaded? Open up the terminal emulator, then su to root and run 'lsmod'?
For me, I get 3 modules now: wlan, ramzswap and ipv6.
When it was broken for me, I didn't have wlan."
well I don't have wlan listed either, even though i have the wlan.ko file in /system/lib/modules...
EDIT: finally got 2.6.35.11 flashed and installed, but still same wifi error =(
I have just developed this problem as well...on one of 7 phones. I have taken it back to 29 on 2 ocassions, bringing it back to ezterrys gingerbread. at 29 I get wifi error.... at cm6.1 I get wifi error....and at GB also get wifi error. Looking in logs, I see (in RED) 00:00 00:00:00.000 E/WiFi Service (132) on next line (also in RED) Failed to Load Wi-Fi driver.
Reading thru these forums..I see a few folks having this same error....but no one seems to have a fix.
Can anyone shed some light on this topic...
Thanks a million.

I have had a couple of GPS issues, ususally when it get hot on my dash board or with dodgy weather normally a reboot fixes it. Its possible that you've accidently buggered up the GPS settings, a hard reset will fix that.
As for a flashable ROM or newer firmware that fixes things? there is 2103.12.5.2 firmware that should get downloaded automagically via zune but other than that (which did bugger all cept fix some audio clicking and keyboard lag issues) it does nothing else, be warned though, that is the firmware that will stop interop from being enabled via the old way, you will need to use heathcliffs newer method after installing it
there is no flashable ROM either.
Thx Dazza
A big thanks Dazza. You've been a tremendous help directly to me. I'd love to do a reset, but the most important part of the process is remembering what to do when as far as backups, unlocking etc. I have the "Internet Sharing" feature unlocked and I don't want to mess that up. Always the question of reward vs. risk.

[Q] "Not registered on network" error. *PLEASE HELP*

Yesterday, my phone just decided it didn't want to be connected to a network anymore. I was running DynamicKat ROM. It just happened out of nowhere and continues today. I've tried flashing different ROMS and they install fine, but I still can't register to a network. I believe I need to update the modem, but I'm not sure. I'm currently on baseband version ANK4, but I think I need to update to BOC4. Does this sound correct? Any advice would be great, and if you might point me in the direction of any files needed it would be greatly appreciated as well. No need to link, but just a general section where I could find the files would be helpful as I seem to have little luck with the search function here. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Ehhh... Nevermind. It just started working again. I can't explain it. Suddenly I was connected again.
Always a good idea to check your APN settings if you are in a known coverage area with a new ROM. Been my problem 90 percent of the time

Funny you mention this as I run the same ROM and have had this occur to me whilst traveling around my area and in and out of T-Mobile "Dead Spots" which seem to be many...
Even called T-Mobile to report and best they could tell me is go into "More Networks-Mobile Networks-Network operators" and select - Select automatically.
A real PITA when you driving down the road and need to call out or re-connect your call with someone.
Note: I've had numerous issues on different ROMS similar to this so I pretty much blame T-Mobile and their service in my area unless someone else can chime in, I would be curious...

I had a similar problem on DK, except that it was unmounting my sim card completely & I had to reboot to get it working again. Happened every hour or so, very frustrating. I tried a different rom & the issue went away, so it's definitely something funky with DK which makes me sad cause that's my favorite rom.
I just reflashed it last night though & I took the precaution of completely reflashing ANK4 through Odin and redoing root & TWRP too, then flashing DK like normal. So far, so good(and it seems to have fixed the battery life issues I was having as well, yay), so you might try that method & see if it helps for you too. But be sure to back up your internal storage first cause odin WILL wipe it. Learned this the hard way, bye-bye all my pictures & titanium backups :/
Files I used can be found here.. BOC4 is for LP, so you should be fine with ANK4.
