Hi everyone,
i searched on the forum before write this post, I hope this is the right section.
I updated my galaxy to 2.3.5 (I9000NEJVB, 2.6.35.7-I9000NEJVK-CL649158) starting from 2.2 with Samsung kies.
After this operation the phone works a lot better, but a serius problem is started to be present (always reproducible) with bluetooth.
In 2.2 version I only used one time the bluetooth, with a wireless mini keyboard. It's the only item i've paired.
After the firmware upgrade, when i start the bluetooth, android crashs and restarts cyclically: crash, restart, take network, scan media and crash.
Also removing the battery the cicle remain the same, because when i startup it remembers the bluetooth conf to be on.
If i try to switch bluetooth off in the few second when you can operate the phone, the bluetooth doesn't reach to be switch off .
The only way I found to break the cycle is connect to te pc in debug mode, and wait (if it comes) a popup screen with the confirmation request to turn off immediately the bluetooth, and fortunately this opearation works.
But sometimes I waited more than 10 minutes, with dozens of reboots, one every 5-10 seconds.
On http pastebin dot com slash rFvD81iN you can find the debug log, and the log starts few seconds befere i switched the bluetooth on.
I tried to remove the files in /etc/bluetooth as suggested in one post, but the problem is still present (now the folder is empty, there are not 'grey' paired devices in the list of bluetooth settings; the log was taken when the paired device was in the list).
Can anyone tell me how can I solve this issue? I can use all the feature of the phone, when bluetooth is off, otherwise it became unusable, and I have difficult to recover it.
thanks a lot,
regards
Francesco
I'm having the exact same problem (also on galaxy s i9000). Also just upgraded to android 2.3.5 from version 2.2. I managed to get out of the cylce of crashing eventually after about 10 cycles the phone actually booted sucessfully. I was then able to turn off bluetooth. Re-activating bluetooth then caused the crash cycle again. Oddley, it has now stopped crashing but I can't conect bluetooth properly to my iControl Pad device, now it just says it's paired but not conected. However, I fear the crashing cycle could begin again at anytime I try and use bluetooth.
My bluetooth worked fine as well as my iControl device on version 2.1, only issue was it lagged a lot!
I have the exact same problem, but with Galaxy SII (i9100).
I have Romanian Vodafone Galaxy SII with official software. I upgraded via Kies from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 and everytime I turn on Bluetooth Android goes through successive crash-restart cycles. During every cycle, BT seems to be on and even if I try to turn BT off, nothing hapens. After a 8-10 cycles, at some point, randomly as far as I can see, it starts normally with Bluetooth turned off.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Razvan
thanks nickmaymusic and razvancd, I'm surprised no one have any indication to how the problem can be adressed.
Anyway in my case the cycles continue for many minutes, and sometimes the phone became unusable.
I think to reflash the phone with odin, but I was try to found another solution, i need the bluetooth.
Try installing Android 2.3.6 using Odin. It's easier with Odin than using Kies.
I also have the same symptoms on Galaxy S2 Android 2.3.5 and Baseband I9100XXKI4 with Kernel version 2.6.35.7.I9100JPKJ2-CL655700 [email protected]#2 Build Number: GINGERBREAD.JPKJ2
This was upgraded via Kies in the UK in Dec 2011.
Bluetooth is effectively unusable and the device simply reboots repeatedly. I have managed to catch the unit during media scan stage and switch off bluetooth and this seems to (if lucky timing) allow the device to fully boot and remain stable.
In my view this is a high priority bug and the Android community really need to solve it quickly to preserve the reputation of an otherwise strong O/S.
Flash a newer relase with odin and the semaphore kernel!

Hi everyone.
I bought a sgs about 7 months ago. Since I bought this phone, I am having some bluetooth issues with it.
The problem is;
when you first try to connect the device with any other bt devices, it connects without having any problems and operates normally.
Then, when you disconnect sgs from the device, it never connects again. it does not even search for the nearby devices. you can also not unpair the previously connected device, the command "unpair" does not work.
the 120 seconds counter, doesnt count down when you switch the phone to visible mode.
I tried to re-boot but it did not work.
I re-flashed the same rom, it did not work as well.
I changed the rom with another one and flashed 2.2.1, but it s still the same.
the only way, to make the device connect with a nearby device is to re-flash the rom and it only helps me to connect to any device for just 1 time. then bt becomes useless when you disconnect and to re-connect, you have to flash the rom again..
Please help me in solving this.
Honestly I have similar issues with my phone. This thread fixed the connectivity issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795691&highlight=bluetooth
However, my phone consistently drops its connection...very annoying.
Honestly, I never had a connection, thus, I am not familiar with the saying "connection droppings"
I tried the things written in the thread but it did not work. still the same and really annoying.
Hi, did you solve this issue? I'm having the same problem on 2.3.3. and it's very annoying...
Hey Everyone
I recently installed XXJVB (2.3.3) onto my sgs and it works really well. my only issue is that the wifi connects sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. This happens at home often and is really annoying.
Does anyone else have this problem?
And does anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you for any reply's
I haven't experienced it.
First thing to try before you go any further.
Turn off everything that connects to your Wi-Fi router. Unplug the router from the power supply for a minute, then plug it back in. When it boots back up, see if the problem still persists.
Also, Have you tried a factory reset prior to or after flash?
had that issue when I played around and installed a cpu tool from the market: my wifi acted up same as yours. As far as I could deduce it was because the power/sleep settings were altered -- beyond my pay scale. Uninstalled the offending program and rebooted: the whole system was hickey and media scanning was an issue. So, did a recovery restore in cwm and all is well again.
Suspect the issue is the set up for power management. sleep policy and the other internal setting sin the kernal being out of phase with each other. Do a retore to the last stable system you had.
I have also leanred the value in doing a complete backup before I play with any new themes and mods: that way restore bails you out!
Did you notice that on version 2.3.3 wifi sensitivity worse that on previous version?
Using "Wifi analyzer" application I found that on Gingerbread kernel signal weaker then on 2.2.1 by about 10 db.
I've tried to use modem JPY (from 2.2.1) instead of native JVK but it didn't help.
It looks like somewhere there are wifi parameters that should be configured properly.
SOLVED
Thank you everyone for you input
@electrotune1200
Thanks for your idea's. The whole turning router off and on worked. i feel rather stupid cause i have to do that often so that i can get my laptop to connect, never even crossed my mind to try it for my phone lol.
Thanks again everyone
im having problems with my 3g on my phone its a samsung galaxy s 2 gt i9100 and version 2.3.3
it keeps turning on and of randomly for no reason some times it just goes of and other times it actually deactivates itself. ive removed juice defender which i thought was the cause but its still switching on and of randomly somtimes it will last for a hour or so other times it wil go on and of every 5 mins.
sometimes i can simply switch the data mode on and of and that works but most times i have to reboot the phone and everytime i reboot it the internet is back on.
what could be causing this its driving me made as i use my phone as a router most of the time. i know its not the network im on because it happens in every country i go to on a new sim.
is there a simple solution is it a android fault or samsung fault?
anyone have a solution to this as i really like my samsung phone but this problem is really annoying.

anybody else get this problem with a samsung or android phone ?
I don't own a 9100 but a 9001 (SGS Plus). The 2.3.3 firmware for my device gave me the exact same issue. I solved it by updating to 2.3.6. But you would need to ask someone who is more familiar with the S2 which ROM ist best as I don't know those.

thanks for the reply now how easy is it to update the phone it says there is no update avalibile when i try to check for updates.
How easy is it to do this rom thing and flashing id need a step by step guide id rather just be able to update it with the click of one button.
i assume you havn't rooted/flashed before? if not, either get into a decent wifi area and update your phone through the settings (that worked for my friends galaxy ace) or see if theres an update through samsungs own software "Kies"
personally i think the 3g issue seems to fall on samsungs side of things but i could be wrong,
no i havent rooted or flashed before. When i try to update in the phone info check for updates it says there is none im currently in the uae is the update done by the network or by samsung. Ive never used kies either. Ill have a look at it i thought kies was just another form of wifi.
Hi all.
Every 10 (about) calls my Note loses the bluetooth connection with my new car (during a call). I’have this problem only with ICS and Jelly Bean OS, the Gingerbread bluetooth connection works fine. Can you help me, please ?
Is it an hardware or software problem ? (it seems software because of ginger..). Any suggestions, please ?
Thank you a lot
seen a lot of thread on this but mainly on JB roms
Slightly OT but still connected, on most JB custom ROMs that I have flashed recently, I have found that when using Bluetooth either on a headset or with the car, I find that there is a lot of lag after the call has completed. Meaning that while the call is actually completed, the phone still stays on the call screen for a couple of seconds. Once the phone screen has gone away, it is back to normal.
But with regards to the connection itself, I have never had the problem of losing the connection.
In your opinion the reason may be some apps (from google-store) ?
Hello,
I upgraded my phone to the unbranded/Nordic version (9.2.A.1.210) from the original 9.1.A.1.140.
While this brought many positives (support of BLE for my forerunner & good battery life), it also brought some negatives:
- A terrible clicking noise when the camera is auto-focusing (clearly a known bug in all JB version ...)
- A very unstable wifi
On this second issue, I have not seen any other report of the issue.
The symptoms are quite basic, after some time (around couple of hours), the phone will no longer associate with any wifi.
The only method I found was to enable/disable the airplane mode to restore normal wifi operation ...
I have installed wifi-fixer for having more details, since the wifi is looping on the association mode (could be authentication errors on these known network). Of course, all authentication info are correct as the phone will connect properly once going through the airplane mode ...
I also re-flash that firmware, from the .ftf but also forcing it from Sony SUS ...
At this point I reverted back to 4.1.2 as I'd rather have less features but reliable one (wifi is flawless now - well just as it should be ...)
Anyone else with the problem ? Any solution identified ?
Same problem Here
Would you please point me to the tutorials to get back my phone to 4.1.2, thank you?

Just follow the guide in the general section (i.e. retrieve the right .FTF file and use flashtool), this is very straightforward.
Tried with the ROM from Singapore, same issue ...
=> Association rejected on all known wifi
(using the power button to cycle the airplane mode restore the wifi for 10-15 mn)
Any advice on how to troubleshoot ?

Maybe it's your wifi that gives problem of compatibility when you're on 4.3
Try with another wifi if you can..
And try to change some settings of your current wifi like number of channel, kind of encryption, and so on..
In fact the problem is more complex as sometime my wifi appears to be ok but I do not have any connectivity ...
Now, I believe I found some interesting infos:
=> prb is directly tied with usage of Bluetooth (especially 4.0 BLE)
When the wifi is 'broken', disabling BT will indeed restore normal wifi operation ...
I could not notice the issue before since Android 4.1.2 do not support BLE ...
I've notice others thread reporting WIFI/BT issue (notably around support of smartwatch)
In my case, I'm trying to have my garmin GPS Watch to pair with the phone, this is were the prb can be easily reproduced
I have the same issue! That damned Association Reject!
I can confirm this is due to Sony 4.3 as Wi-Fi still work normally on my other 4.3+ devices (Nexus 7 2012, Galaxy Nexus)

Same here
i have tried numerous methods to fix this so far no luck..im on ub flashed 2 3 roms even stock rom with sus
One observation ...
This time, running stock .210 but not installing my BT4.0 Application (Garmin Connect), I only had the Wifi/BT issue once ...
I will install the application but not connect to my watch (Forerunner 620), to see where exactly is the breaking point.
After all these, I will certainly consider unlocking my bootloader and try the Omni ROM (as I see Walter79 is extremely active)
