stock tmb note 4. CONSTANT bluetooth connectivity issues. this phone is a piece of sh!t when it comes to this and I am at my wits end. does anyone know if a 3rd party app that fiuxes this issue? we have not gotten the marshmallow update yet either so I dont even know if this is limited only to jellybean.
anyone with this same infuriating issue?
thanks!
What is the issue? You didn't actually say anything other than it's giving you problems.
FWIW my wife and I have never had a BT issue.
Never had a single issue here either.
Cannot connect to any device with any level of stabilty. I have done it all. Clearing.caches and data. Installing stupid 3rd party apps. I'm at the point where I don't care about Knox and just root but I'm leery arput doing it. Bluetooth on the note 4 for me has been nothing but a problem

My wife and I both have a Note 4 with TMo. Hers is bone stock and mine is stock rooted.
Never had BT issues. We both use BT connections for hours at a time with no stability problems.
Maybe try dialing *#0*# and running a self test on the BT hardware.
Not to be a jerk, but could you be more specific? You're really not giving us any kind of useful information.
What are you trying to connect to?
How far away is it?
Do you get any error messages?
What system version are you on? 4.4.4? 5.0.1? 5.1.1? I assume you're stock, so probably 5.0.1?
Can you have a friend with a different phone come over and try to connect to it to rule out the device itself being the problem?
FWIW, I highly doubt rooting your phone is going to do anything useful with your BT situation.

My WiFi connection has always been reliable and robust before the update to 2.3.6,but now it works wrong,the wifi is scanning repeatedly.When I try to connect my wireless,the connection button is disable.
Anyone else seeing this? Would you give me a suggestion?
Thank you!
I've had the same problem since 2.3.6 was pushed to my Nexus One. There seems to be some people with this and other serious issues, but there doesn't appear to be any acknowledgement of the problems from Google. I have read some posts by people who use their phones for their business and such, and the issues with 2.3.6 are causing them to lose time and money. I don't know why they released this, they obviously didn't test it very well.
Since upgrading will take you off the upgrade path, I was just wondering if there is something on the new build that isn't working.
Like camera, video, data etc.
Honestly, I wouldn't jump on it unless you really need it (I've heard it makes GSM work a lot better). AFAIK, it hasn't even been rooted yet, which means you are giving up a LOT just to get ICS, which you can do from the stock rom and safestrap.
If you root just before flashing and use voodoo rootkeeper you can keep root. I unfortunately forgot to re-root after I needed to flash SBF (wouldn't update). So far everything works for me. Well except root that is. But to tell you the truth. I only used root to change the build.prop and have write access to system (notifications etc). Owh and freeze apps. But thats it.
So far so good! The battery won't last as long as on 219. But by how much I'll have to test. On 219 I ran in 2G mode all the time. So it isn't a real fair comparison. Yesterday I turned off all sync and push and disabled some applications. So we'll see how long it will last today.. I took it off the charger around 07:50 AM. So don't expect an update 'till tomorrow. It's only 08:50 AM where I live .
For the gsm users i recommend this update if you can go with no root
The rom is actually more responsive and most importantly, it dun drop the line that often
And ics with WORKING camera & video, not much is missing actually
According to this, you can keep root if you install OTA Rootkeeper, back up root, temp unroot, restore root, and THEN apply the update.
I updated and kept root and am very impressed with every aspect of performance on this build.
Battery life the first day was excellent, above average considering I was playing with the phone a lot.
Radio performance on VZW's network with this new baseband is exceptional.
Data throughput and transitions from cellular to WiFi and maintaining data connection were all distinctly improved. I am in a marginal 3g only area where I live and work 90% of the time, but I can go a few miles away to get LTE coverage.
While I cannot openly recommend flashing non revertable leaks to anyone, I cannot say enough about how much I am enjoying this build right now. I have yet to find any downside beyond the fact that we have no full firmware files for this build yet.
This is a superlative build and anyone willing to accept the risk should not be disappointed.
25 hours later there's 30% battery remaining. Made 5 1-minute phone calls. Played about 20 minutes of 3D games. Used internet a couple of times (checked email, whatsapp, some internet apps) and I would say at 90% 3G connection. So that's not so bad I would say.
Stuff not Working
For me, my Facebook app (built-in) is not working, and constantly crashes. I finally disabled the app completely to stop getting the crash pop-ups.
Also, built-in MotoCast disappeared, and it does not show up for me in the Play Store (probably because they have not released an ICS version of the app for non-tablets yet in the Store).
Other than those 2 so far, everything I have tested and checked works like a dream come true.
Everything is working great for me. The ota rootkeeper worked as well. Im running the leak with root.. the facebook app that came on the leak needs update. Its an older version. May be the reason

Anyone else have problems with the headphone jack not working?
Everything seems to work fine for me so far.
Motocast is built in to "My Files", "My Gallery", and "My Music" now. I just installed it and seems to work fine.
Negative. Just drove 20 hours with headphones on.

Please be more specific about the headphones.
I haven't had any issues with Klipsch X10 headphones at all, but mine is only a 2 prong headset, without microphone or call control features.
I've had some odd headphone issues and I am NOT on the leak.
I'll plug in headphones, but the phone won't switch from the loudspeaker to the headphones. Unplugging and replugging the headphones in usually fixes the issue. Kind of annoying, but I use headphones so infrequently on my phone anyway that I haven't done any hard investigating on whether it is a software or hardware issue.
I'm leaning towards hardware though, because IIRC it happens on stock and the GB-ICS frankenbuilds.
This may be a stupid question but does anyone know if there is going to be a way to reverse being taken off the upgrade path? Im new to the forums and I just started getting into rooting and flashing roms. Im running a nightly build of the aokp ics with cm9. Im happy with it so far but would love to use my camcorder again lol. Are there any other issues with this version of ics?
I dont know about reversing the upgrade path but i do know that everything works really great on my d4 running the leaked ics.

You SHOULD be able to get back on the upgrade path using the same method others have used to go from the .200 ICS leak to the .206 ICS leak. That involves a partial flash of the .219 fastboot file to essentially trick the update into thinking you are still on .219. But there are no guarantees.
I see. Thank you for your input. One more thing does anyone know if the gummy rom has been updated? I was using it for a few days but decided to go to the aokp for better 4g functionality.
Having serious troubles with the GPS (I think ever since I upgraded to KitKat). I've tried a couple of ROMs and went back to the stock rooted one found here. I will get a fix at times but it will be lost within a minute or so and makes things very frustrating.
What's the best way to troubleshoot this? I've tried Chartcross GPS test, but it doesn't fix anything. Any help would be really appreciated.
Anybody?

If you google your question you will find loads of the same exact issue. I am also having the same exact issue, it only kind of works on stock rom with no root. But even then not for very long. Samsung decided to put garbage gps radio's in our phones so gps is pretty much non existent on the Note 3. I'm on my 4th phone from ATT. Not only does the GPS suck, the connection losses are pretty unbearable at times and have actually costed me customers. And to think I traded my S5 for this POS....really frustrating.
TLDR: Someone at Samsung needs punched in the face, twice.

Interesting. Mine was working perfectly prior to this whole kitkat ordeal. If I Odin back to stick and reflash to 4.4.2, do you think it will remedy the issue?
That's what i did because I need gps daily, though it still has major issues, I'm literally trying to sell it, my s5 never lost lock, even in my pocket.

Do you think there's any use in ODIN'ng back to stock and then trying the custom 4.4.2 ROMs or is it not going to work?
I bought the Nexus 6 (blue, 64gb) the day one, in November and since that day I noticed random reboots in a particular situation. When I switch to a WiFi network to another it shuts down and so I have to turn it on. When it turns on I have lost all my WiFi networks configurations, so passwords, dhcp settings, etc.
Random reboots rarely happen also in camera/gallery apps.
I tried to send it back to google and I received a new nexus. The first one was produced in June 2014, the new one in December 2014. The issue is still there. [emoji17] I've also tried to update to 5.1 but no resolution.
I have rooted, installed twrp, decrypted both my nexus 6 with toolkit.
How can I solve the problem? I was very happy with this phone.
Try using it completely stock and see what happens. I'd say chances are that if you set both up the same, it's something you're doing and not the hardware on 2 different phones.
But other people have made the same basic mods on their nexus and their phone has not this kind of issue.
Is it every network? Maybe try a stable custom ROM to see if it happens there too. Could be a problem with specific networks or even apps. Troubleshooting is the key. First try full wipe, no restored Apps.
I could be as simple as an app the developer has not updated since gingerbread or something stupid like that.
Is there a way to find the malicious app?
There definitely *was* a bug causing loss of wifi networks, and I think there may also have been a reboot involved there (not sure if we rebooted it manually, or if it just did it on its own as a response to a wpa_supplicant crash...). It was across the board for Android 5.0 though, not limited to Nexus 6. I saw my wife's Nexus 5 do it once. Never actually had it happen on my 6.
I'm not sure if this bug was fixed or not, since it wasn't something we tried to reproduce, and only happened once. The bug is definitely related to wpa_supplicant, since that is the only program that actually interacts with its configuration file (which is where the wifi configurations are actually stored).
As far as galleries go, you're not giving much to guess by. I certainly haven't seen galleries cause reboots like that. Maybe you are using a bad one?
Try this gallery; https://github.com/lbdroid/Android-Binaries/blob/master/Gallery2.apk
That is the actual AOSP gallery, modified to install as a standalone application. The source code is in another repository on my github.
*note: it will not do you any good at all to swap out your phone, since there is no indication that you are experiencing a hardware issue.
But why other people doesn't experience this problem that is related to WiFi? All people use WiFi and every time. Is there a way to fix the WPA_supplicant issue? Maybe a custom ROM?
My first n6 had also an hw issue, I think, because before it rebooted it gave me some little "buzz" from the top speaker.

all people use WiFi is an incorrect statement. you can say most ppl use wifi, but all would never happen. I hate using WiFi and NEVER use it except when its absolutely necessary. ive probably used WiFi 2 times on my n6 since getting my n6 in November, and there's no WiFi issues here.

Yes, start with stock and install a few apps at a time until you get the problem. Given the fact that you have 2 different phones experiencing the same problem, it is much more likely that it is something software related rather than hardware (though I suppose it could be possible if you're really unlucky ).

You said that it happens when you change from one wifi network to another. Most people don't do that. Most people have one wifi network at a time and don't change it.
There is also a huge difference between wifi network configurations... A/B/N/AC, frequency, bandwidth, multiple-bands, encryptions, etc.

Normal.
I'v had 3 note 4's this year. My first one was a N910T but it had problems and needed to be replaced. The replacement was a N910T3 and it came with 3 problems.
1) headphone icon would show up even when the headphones weren't inserted.
2) s-pen would have the same issue, the icon would show up even when you inserted the spen back into the phone.
3) camera would be blurry for about 5 minutes until it focused (couldn't manual focus either and it would work for all camera apps).
So i got another replacement. Another N910T3 but with problem 1 & 2, thankfully the camera works flawlessly. I flashed a rom on the T3 thinking that it was a software issue but the icons are still displaying.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I have been having this issue ever since I got the T3, would I be able to use Odin to get a stock ROM without root without tripping knox? Was thinking of just finding the software online.

I have the same issue as well in my T3 running 5.1.1... Has anyone found a solution to this? With many great minds on XDA someone will sure figure this out..
