[Q] Bluetooth Freak out - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think my bluetooth is causing my phone to crash. I have a Jawbone and use it outside the car and the car has a bluetooth stereo. In recent weeks the phone completely freezes (switching between sources). The only thing I can do is do a 3 button reboot to get it back. A couple of times its come out of it but normally I need to do 3 button reboot. Sometimes an error message has popped saying android.phone has ceased functioning??? Then gives option of force close but that doesnt seem to work either.

Bluetooth & Wifi

I recently bought a bluetooth keyboard mainly to use while on wifi, but to my disappointed wifi dont seem to work with bluetooth on!
Another problem, my ppc keeps shutting down while i'm using my bt keyboard, tried few "keepalive" apps but it still shuts down, found only one way, thats adjusting the power settings not to shut down permanently, but this needs soft reset every time
Anyone with experience or suggestion on either the above?
Nevermind that, I found out that wifi needs adequate signal strength in order to function properly with bluetooth on.
About the power issue, the main problem was not knowing when the PPC will shut down, so i wrote a morscript to prompt a countdown when its about to shut down, and option to reset the idle timer.
Thanks all..

[Q] HD7 bluetooth turns off

Hey, i have a Bluetooth problem. When i turn Bluetooth on after 30sec it turns off.
Can someone help me?
First *push*
It sounds like you have a problem with your phone. Bluetooth stays on permanently, and there is no configuration option apart from on or off. Dies it say it is off?
Unless you mean discoverable? I have got a feliing it only remains discoverable whilst you are in the settings screen?
I have the same issue since a few weeks although not that fast.
Bluetooth switches off automatically on my HD7 after a few minutes.
When connecting it to my carkit, it can make a first call without problems, but when finished the call it will switch off bluetooth after a few minutes.
I even now reverted back to 7.0.7389.0 by using one of Ansar's ROMs, but I have again the same issue.:mad
Any one else has similar issues on the HD7? Anyone knows how to fix it?
Could it be something physically broken?
Meanwhile I installed all updates again with Zune, but still the issue exists.
I also have an issue with the WiFi when the issue with BT occurs.
If I try to switch on/off WiFi, the phone hangs for a while, after that he doesn't go to sleep mode no more and it's impossible to switch it off with the Power button.
Only solution at the moment is to take out the battery.
Had it several times now already.
I mailed HTC, and they told me to send in the phone, but I'll need to miss it for 2-3 weeks then

In trying to pair my phone with my Mazda 3, I'm on lollipop, i input tge pairing code as normal but every time i hit enter on the keyboard, the process dies, this hasn't happened with antitrust phone. I get this message a few seconds later in the status bar but its worthless.. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?
Figured it out, had to minimize the keyboard and use the top prompt... Weird

Help! Moto X (XT1049) Constantly Freezing and Restarting Itself (RW)

I purchased a used Republic Wireless Moto X (1st Gen) and in the beginning I was happy with the phone, but then I got to school with it...
The first thing I noticed was the issue the phone was having with the college's network. The network requires a one time login every 10 hours to authenticate that you are a student. I would login and the phone would work normally on the school's network until it turned the screen off or I hit the power button once to sleep the phone. Once you did this and then tried to use the phone again it was like there was no network even though it was connected and already authenticated. I am forced to disconnect from the school's network and reconnect every time I want to use WiFi if the screen was turned off...
Well that problem was annoying as hell, but it got even worse as time went on (2 weeks). Now I can barely even use the phone at all on campus or sometimes even at my own house. I will be trying to do something very simple like open txt messaging and it will show my messages and then load the names to match the cell numbers (slowly). However when I click on a message it will stay stuck at a white text body with the person's name at the top and a txt enter box at the bottom that I can't do anything with (keyboard won't pop up).
If I hit back normally it will freeze the phone and it will restart, this is my primary problem. When trying to do basic things like txt messaging the phone freezes and restarts itself. Once it restarts on its own, nothing has fixed. I try to open txt messaging again and I get the EXACT same problem and the phone will restart again. The only semi-solution I have found is once the phone restarts itself, I shut it down through the normal hold power button briefly and click power off. Then when it comes back up, SOMETIMES it will act normal-ish.
The odd thing is a lot of the time once I get home on my network these restarts and freezes are much less frequent vs. on the school's network. This could be a coincidence, but I thought I should bring it up.
-------------------------------------
This is my first smartphone I have ever owned, but I have owned two tablets so I am familiar with Android and also with modding Android (rooting, boot loaders, custom ROMs, etc). If modding is the answer here then by all means tell me what I need to do so I can get a phone that functions properly.
I saw that Motorola is testing 5.1 for this phone now, perhaps that may fix these problems? Right now I am tempted to throw this phone out the window and go back to my flip phone that I can at least txt message on.
Not even a single idea?
Edit, found this:

Some users have faced problems with the device freezing, or randomly rebooting occasionally.
Potential Solution –
If the screen is frozen, tapping on the power button to turn the screen off, and turning the screen on again might unfreeze it. If that doesn’t work, a long press on the power button will reboot the device.
The likely culprit for this issue is a specific application. You can follow the instructions in Problem #4 above to find out if this is the case.

Cannot switch between Phone/Speaker/BT in the Phone app.

After some time of using the phone, the Phone app is stuck in the BT mode. No clicking on Speaker or Phone mode will change from the BT mode. This is remedied by rebooting the phone, at which point it is again possible to switch between all 3 modes - BT, Phone or Speaker.
Do you know how to fix this bug.
Thanks.
I figured out some things about this problem:
it has to do with Huawei Watch GT2 Pro, and possibly with using this watch and other BT headsets at the same time.
When the problem occurs, you don't have to reboot. You can do two things.
Pressing the "Hold" button twice cycles between Phone/Speaker/Bluetooth/and back to Phone.
However, making a phone call from the watch and hanging up fixes the problem entirely.
Or at least for a few days - I haven't had to reboot the phone for 3 days, it's working as it should.
