I connected to Kies 3 and updated firmware. My watch had bluetooth off, and on restart with Tizen, the watch is stuck waiting to connect to the phone before doing anything else, but of course cannot connect because bluetooth is off. How can i turn bluetooth on?
Factory reset does enable bluetooth, so all was fixed. At first attempt it did not appear to work, but after a power cycle all went smoothly

I'm in the same situation as you were. Even after I turn it off and on various times, Gear Manager does not find it when scan.

Really need help guys. My SGS is doing REALLY funny things...
I just got my SGS a few days ago and so far all I've been doing is installing aps on it (no messing with rooting/flashing).
Today, I was trying to get Keis to work. I reinstalled Keis and unplugged and repluggeed my phone a few times and managed to get it to recognise.
Here's the problem, now it ALWAYS says USB connected on the top left hand corner. Everything seems ok except after a few minutes of the screen turning off, I can't turn it back on again. Absolutely no activity. If I try to turn it back on immediately after it goes off, it can come back on again.
Things get weirder. If I remove my battery or turn it off, I can't turn it back on again (it flashes a loading symbol in the middle of the screen for half a second then nothing happens). To turn it back on, I have to plug it in and wait for the charging screen to come on. THEN it comes on.
I've tried doing a factory reset but nothing changed... Is there a hardware fault? Perhaps flashing will solve the problem?
ps. When it's off, I can enter download mode but not recovery more unless I plug it in...
Sounds like a hardware problem on phone, But I beleive its more of a Grounding problem with your usb. Can you try it with another port or computer? Also does your pc/laptop have a grounding pin for its power supply? I noticed I get odd power spikes when I travel to asia as their power is not always good. You can always buy a surge protector for your computer and one for your samsung charger. Other then that see if you can get new KIEs (I Don't EVER use it as its crap and never reconizes my phone)
Also if you want to kick up a storm, get the thing replaced as it sounds like a phone hardware problem as it should not crash when you take battery out. Could be battery but better to change the whole thing.
Try activating USB DEBUG in settings. Check the option and restart.
It should solve the problem. You can UNCHECK again the option and the phone should work also without USB debug activated
It will happen again, it seem to me a problem with some USB port, or some cables, activating a *waiting for USB* option BEFORE the ROM loading
Thanks
Thanks for the advice guys. Last night it suddenly started behaving itself after the 10th or so hard reset *phew*
Very strange problem and I think I will stay well clear of Kies from now on... Samsung make a good phone but lousy software...

I have a desire but the samsung daily briefing app, the media player, .... and my desire has some HW problems too
I have a standard SM-N700 Galaxy Gear and had it running null. All seemed fine until one night after a notification tried to come to the watch, the screen flashed white and the watch appeared to shut down. Since then, it hasn't been able to turn on for anything. Below is the steps I've taken to try to recover my smartwatch...
Tried using multiple power supplies, no response (one power supply even caused the charging dock to become a little warm)
Tried holding power for 10 seconds, no response.
Tried repeatedly holding/pressing power (I heard sometimes this can help clear a softlocked device), no response.
Opened the watch and disconnected the battery. When the watch was reconnected, it vibrated once as if it was going to turn on, but didn't do anything further. Repeated attempts at removing the battery had no response, not even a vibrate.
Tried connecting the watch to my PC, the computer beeped that a device was connected and reported that there was no driver for "sec s5pc210 test b/d". I checked and the standard Samsung USB Drivers are installed. Tried other USB cables and USB ports, either the computer gives the beep of a malfunctioning USB device, or beeps as if something connected, but then the device seems to disappear.
I've read some resources that suggest that either the watch is completely fried, or somehow during an update to Gear Manager, it corrupted or damaged the bootloader of the watch, and after the watch attempted to reboot, it failed and got stuck in the condition it is in now. Based on these resources, there's supposed to be a way using Odin to flash a proper bootloader to the device, but since it does not appear to stay connected for more than an instant, and when it does connect it appears as this "sec s5pc210 test b/d" device, the tools I've tried to flash the bootloader have failed.
I really don't want to have to replace this device. Having a Samsung watch that still runs plain Android is not something I want to give up.
Hi, I updated my note 9 to the latest version and not my s pen can not be connected. I try wipe partition and it did not help. Does anyone else have the some problem?
I had a similar problem before when I was connecting and disconnecting from a tomotm repeatedly it started saying the pen wasn't connected but turning on airplane mode for about 30 seconds then turning it back off sorted the problem for me, but then I often have to do the same to get my phone to connect to my tomtom for some reason this phone seems really picky when it's going in an out of range of a bluetooth device.

I tryed your method but it does it work. S pen still can't connect
i am having same issue after update to july patch of Pie. have you get it resolved? i am still searching for solution. i have tried full factory reset , soft reset, airplane mode on/off, s pen reset, without entering any account when setting up phone after reset.
Have you tried wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode?
It turned out I abused my phone too much and I demaged S pen. I went to Samsung service center and they replaced s pen for me. Everything working fine now.
When I try to turn on bluetooth (which is usually turned off) everything freezes the moment I 'click' on the turn on/off switch. After the freeze it takes around one-two minutes to restart the phone and then I can normally turn the bluetooth on.
The strange thing is that I can turn it off and on then and it will work, but when I turn it off and leave it off for a few days, and then try to turn it on the phone will freeze again...
My build number is EVA-L09C432B505. Stock firmware, regulary updated.

Did you have the same problem before updating to b505?
Maybe there is a problem related to specific BT headset you are using or so, does it reproduce if you delete all BT connections...
Have you tried Factory Reset and Wipe Cache from Recovery and then turning on BT (without registering yet your BT headset)
You can boot to eRecovery (switch off, connect by USB to charger, press and keep pressing Vol+, press Pow button).
From eRecovery you can opt to (re)Install latest firmware and recovery, followed by Factory reset and Wipe cache
Hi,
If I turn off the car and turn it back on, android auto won't work. I need to restart the phone. With another phone where Android auto is not in developer mode it doesn't. Is that possible? At the first start everything is ok, but if I turn off and restart the car the phone connects only via bluethoot and not via cable unless I restart it and sometimes I have to restart uconnect as well. advice?
thanks,
Mariodm
