Bluetooth keeps turning off after Oreo update - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hello guys,
The title of this thread is very straightforward but anyway... I've been dealing with this situation after installing Oreo on my Note. I enabled bluetooth and sometimes, it turns off in less than 15 minutes. I have not noticed it turning off when I am using my bluetooth headphones that I use about 2 hours almost every day.
Has anyone noticed the same issue? I hope it's a Samsung bug instead of a hardware failure. :fingers-crossed:

This started happening on my Note8 with Oreo a couple of days ago :/

Same processor here. I reported in Samsung Members anyway. I hope we receive a fix in a few months from Samsung.

I've been having this as well, snapdragon (N950U) seems to have gotten worse since the most recent security patch. I have not noticed a pattern for when it does just shut down. It seems to do it more when WiFi is on and engaged vs when I'm just on cell.

Interesting... Snapdragon users also been affected.
If you can report the bug in Samsung Members too it'll be good for Samsung keep track of this issue.

So, In trying to track the issue more. When WiFi is on I notice the issue the most. My guess is something is causing the BT radio to try and connect to 2.4ghz wifi signals (or something similar) and then something in either security or battery is shutting down BT radio. I guess it could be crashing I have not tried to see what kind of error logs are available to pull.
Does this seem to track with what others are experiencing?

I have not found a clue of the cause of this issue

Reading about so many odd issues with oreo, I think that I will stay with 7.1.1 a little bit longer, to wait for a really stable version of oreo

I figure I'll toss out a few of the things I have tried as well to see if triggers anyone having an another idea.
So I went in and reset the two blue tooth system apps (cleared data and cache). No change BT still disconnected fairly quickly and shut down.
unpaired and re-paired a few of the BT devices, no difference BT still shut down at random.
Performed a network reset on device. This has worked so far but was running out of test time, I will updated more if the issues seems to have "gone away" I am however not holding my breath yet.

Nice, please keep us updated if the reset network settings fix the issue.

FYI, I had the bug on my S8+ running Oreo which I just traded for a Note 8 that I updated to Oreo...aaaand same issue. So it's most probably a firmware issue.

same happened to me in recent days.... after two weeks of using OREO. Any known solution?

same issue after firmware upgrade from T-mobile few days ago. My Bluetooth just turns off within 2 mins. very annoying. I just did Network Reset.. and it is better for now.

I find the network reset works temporarily and then after a day or so it's gone back to being "dumb" I think the only thing I have not tried is a factory reset (not going to happen).

I think I have found reason.
In special access there is option to set Apps that can Change system settings. Turning off all bixby apps solved the problem.

My BeatsX headphones randomly disconnect from my Note8 at times. Sometimes it works stable for 5 hours and then 2 days later it starts disconnecting randomly. I have no connection problems with my Dell laptop and this issue only started appearing my Note8 from the oreo update. I am using the N950W snapdragon model on the latest software.

Nope, that's not it unfortunately. I did the same and just had the issue.
Was this reported officially to Samsung in any way ?

Bluetooth Constantly Becoming Disabled

Within the last few weeks I have noticed that upon reset or simply after a period of time, my Bluetooth will either disconnect with my Moto 360 Sport or will become disabled altogether. If I restart my phone, the Bluetooth toggle in settings is always disabled.
Several users have been discussing this issue over in the PureNexus ROM forum, but we have not identified the culprit yet. Some who are experiencing it have Android Wear devices, but not all people do. Those who are experiencing it are on different ROMs, or different builds of the same ROM, leading me to believe that it is an app and not specific to a ROM. Also, for everyone who is experiencing it, it started withing the last few weeks.
I wanted to start a thread to allow people experiencing this issue to find a common cause so that we can correct it.
I'll also tag those who have said they are having this issue to lead them to this post: @Moguledyouth @uberbdon @MVLJR @ethanhunt123 @MysticKing32 @danman7 @hawkz28
I'm unsure which thread is the most appropriate to post this in, so I'll throw it here.
I don't believe the entire issue is tied to 7.1.1. I believe it originated in 7.1.0 or earlier, but got worse in 7.1.1. (Side note, I did on occasion get a "Bluetooth Share has stopped" notification, but only if I was actively using the phone).
My phone's bluetooth began "cycling" at the very latest in 7.1.0. I first noticed the issue when using an app called "wear aware," an app designed to let you know if you leave your phone behind (on your android wear watch). It was frequently giving me "false positives," so I ultimately uninstalled the app. I also began to have issues with android auto, where it would occasionally freeze and stop showing me data. Likewise, when I'd be on a phone call, my radio would randomly turn on and I'd assume the call got disconnected -- until I realized the other party was still on the line but now on speaker phone.
The reason I believe it got worse in 7.1.1 is because it used to cycle bluetooth. At least when it crashed, it restarted. Now it appears to require intervention to re-enable it. As a temporary work-around, I have Trigger set up to enable bluetooth if it gets disconnected from my watch. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but at least it re-enables bluetooth frequently for me (it claims to have run 10 times in the last 2 hours).
It's probably also worth noting that it's been reported on at least the Nexus 6 and the Pixel, from what I've seen.
My current setup:
PureNexus (1/21 release, rooted)
Franco Kernel
Huawei Watch
Prior to this, I was running Stock, unrooted, with the same issues.
Thanks for the workaround (Trigger) - like the speakerphone issue we are experiencing, it might not be an official fix but it works for now. It seems like the more updates we get, the more bugs we get. Seriously, 6.0.1 was about perfect, and I might flash back to that and add the additional Nougat features via xposed.

Anyone try to revert to an earlier dialer app or is it in the framework of the Feb patch?
I don't think it's the phone app. I get Bluetooth share disconnects with just a Pebble smartwatch.
As is stated in the second article, this issue is not related to the phone dialer app. I'll delete that post as it might cause some confusiom

I thought my phone was dying. I'm having this issue as well. I found that uninstalling Heart Trace, which records my heart rate every 15 minutes from my Huawei Watch, helped a lot with the Bluetooth issue.
It used to be that my Bluetooth would turn off in the middle of the night and I lose my sleep tracking data from my watch (Sleep as Android).
Don't google test their sofware?
This is a poor show by them.
Had the same issue and it stopped after clearing the data on the Bluetooth Midi service and the Bluetooth share apps

I'd like to say that after (dirty) flashing the 2/15 update, my issue is resolved. When I reboot now, BT remains enabled.

PureNexus ROM. And I'm glad to hear that it resolved this issue, might be time to flashback over from stock.
On a side note, the one thing that I feel stock is missing, and this is minor, is a battery percentage that is not in the icon. Google has added just about everything I wanted to stock except for this one small detail, and yet I'm going to flash over because of it.

I'm on stock firmware and Project Fi on Nexus 6 and been having this problem lately yet I have had no updates since the Oct 5 2016 security update on Android v7.0. I wear a fitbit Charge 2 and occasionally use either a bluetooth headset or my car's bluetooth audio. I try real hard to keep my battery charge above 40% at all times. Normally I'm at 70% or higher when these problems occur. [edited to add] Forgot we also have a few Tiles and a LugLoc.
When not using bluetooth at all I frequently find bluetooth has disabled itself on my phone.
When using the bluetooth headset during a phone call bluetooth shuts off and my headset reports it has lost a connection to my phone.
In my car bluetooth is flawless and never shuts down even on long drives 2-4 hours.
I have also enabled trusted devices in Security when certain devices are connected via bluetooth.
Sometimes bluetooth settings loses a device. Sometimes they come back on their own but more often than not I have to repair the device to the phone.
Right now there are so many issues with this phone (including dust in the camera sensor) that makes it real frustrating as an owner.

I tried this earlier today. Made it through two one hour conference calls with only one hiccup between the bluetooth headphones and the phone which did reconnect. No disabled bluetooth yet. I hope this is the fix!

Mine had issues when I first upgraded to nougat with mirroring but it magically fixed itself lol
Only thing I've noticed is even with Auto rightness off the screen still dims itself ever so slightly when you leave a lighted area and go to a darker area, I'm assuming it's the blue light filter....Even though I have that option turned off.

Only issue I've had is a daily "Android System has stopped" popup, but it's pretty uneventful. Nothing crashes, phone doesn't restart. Just hit "ok" and go about my business. I assume it's related to the disabled package list I've carried over from MM.

Hi Norbarb,
Last weekend, I was on QA4 then I Odin'd back to APK1 and took the Official ATT OTA update to Nougat 7.0.
I just tested screen mirroring and it worked without any problems. Sorry, I don't have a Samsung BluRay to test.
Now the issue that I've been having is reboots. In the beginning, when I was first on N7.0 I had no problems whatsoever for a few days.
- On Feb. 20th, I kept getting a message that one of my apps unexpectedly closed. Now this app is old and wasn't even supported on MM (it's called Webcams widget) but it had worked flawlessly on MM and Nougat QA4.
- Then on Feb. 21st I had a couple of reboots happen, I went into a solid Bootloop that started in the afternoon and kept rebooting for around 10-15 times! It stopped long enough for me to actually Power Off my S7E down in the normal manner and I left it that way for around 5 minutes.
- I searched for solutions and finally ended up clearing the Cache Partition like this:
Wipe cache partition
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key at the same time.
When the phone powers on, the Android System Recovery screen appears approx. 30 seconds later.
Release all of the keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight "wipe cache partition."
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight “yes” and press thePower key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, “Reboot system now” is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
My phone went without a reboot for almost 2 days then yesterday afternoon I had one single reboot. My next test (if needed) will be to clear each app cache/data. Unless it gets really, really bad again, only then will I resort to a complete reset.
The only difference between using my phone on the official QA6 and the sideloaded QA4 is that I had turned off auto-updating for my Play Store apps when on QA4 (and earlier). I had a lot of updates occur when updating to QA6.
Doing more research today, I found an article talking about some common Nougat problems and possible fixes here.

Did you preform factory reset ?
It help me with lot of problems. Just make backup using Samsung Cloud and after factory reset using restore from Samsung cloud you will have 97% all of you settings and apps back. It is wort to do it.
Actually I just took a guess and re-enabled com.qualcomm.atfwd. I don't have a wifi display BUT I haven't gotten "Android System has stopped" since I turned it back on. This was never an issue on MM. If it happens again I'll try a few more packages related to Android System before a factory reset.

Package Disabler Pro. It's the only one that currently works in Nougat as far as I know.
I switched to OnePlus 3T today, and here are few observations guys...
Compared to Nougat on S7E... different level of speed and responsiveness, way different.
I used CM and AOSP roms in the past, on different phones, I know they fast, but this... speed demon out of the box, with MM or Nougat.
Feel bad for leaving S7E forums, but believe me guys, it is a flagship killer indeed. Unbelievable.
I will go back to Sammy with S8 only if they will be able to keep up with this kind of speed, plain and simple.
I was hoping with every generation that Sammy will get rid of touchwiz lags... new phones and new chipsets were piling up, but it never changed, unfortunately.
Touch wiz nougat is a bloody mess next to 3T nougat...
Yes yes, I know. But I never used edge panels... or OOD that much.
Peace out guys!

Hello. My first post here. I have been lurking & reading for years.
I have a few of the minor issues that others have, like the colors will be washed out sometimes, pull down notifications are a bit harder to read. My main issue with this update is that my recently used apps will randomly close when the screen is locked & only keep 4 or 5 open. I want them to all stay open & I close the ones I no longer need. That is why I got this phone in the first place. Now apps that I need to go back to later & continue working are gone. Very annoying. I assumed it was a new performance setting activated without any explanation of how it will affect normal usage. I can't find where to change that particular setting, if it is changeable at all now.

Thanks for the tip. I tried that a few times. No change. Even added frequently used apps to be unmonitored. It is still closing all recently used apps, except the last 4 or 5. I just now turned off the app power monitor completely. It didn't change the estimated battery life hardly any. We'll see how that goes for a while.

Random Reboots

Anyone else suffering random reboots? I have got my Note 8 N950F for a few days now and sadly have to notice that I see random reboots from time to time. Sometimes I saw the Samsung boot logo, sometimes i noticed it because I hat to enter my PIN after reboot. For now it seems to happen once or twice a day. Quite annoying.

Rogue app?
Sounds like something installed is not agreeing with your device. Usually thins can get tangled up when you do a restore from an old back up for example.
Did you have an older model note device that you restored form perhaps?
I'm using a T-Mobile variant ands no such issues.
As an aside, there is an option in the phone (you may already know this) that will restart the phone at a setting you setup.
Maybe also try clearing cache on your device?
Did you disable a lot of stuff with a package disabler?
A couple of mornings now I've woken and my phone asks for a password because it restarted overnight. I haven't experienced a crash or reboot yet, but something seems to be happening overnight.

Do you have Substratum installed? I installed Swift Dark and noticed what I call mini reboot, phone would lock up for a second and just the carrier label came on and everything was fine again. Was using the S8 for my Substratum setting and I guess the Note 8 isn't compatible yet. Uninstalled most of the layers and haven't had a reboot since.

Ive seen people that posted having random reboots being that they transferred a backup to the new device.
There's something to be said in a fresh manual install into a new machine with new guts and firmware/builds....
My Note 8 just randomly rebooted itself this morning for the first time. I have had my phone since September 7th. After the reboot it has been fine but shortly before it rebooted it quit functioning altogether. I think I will go in and clear the cache when I get to work.

Its a system wide ad-blocking app that does not require root
My note 8 n950u1 has rebooted multiple times, but not in one day. It has restarted for the third time (ever) this morning. The first time was Gmail, second was Facebook, and this third time was Gmail again. My best guess is it might be a ram glitch because it seemed to happen when the app was trying to do a lot. Now, I have no idea if this is true, but it is my best guess. At first I thought it might be because of the snapdragon but seeing how others on an f varient with the exynos chips are rebooting too, that theory is shut down.
Could be apps like others pointed out. 2nd option the battery? But due to how new this phone is, I doubt that. In my past phones it was old bad batteries.
Not a single random reboot since day one, I got my note 8 on 22 Nov 2017, I dont use substratum or adhell, but I installed bk disabler and blocked all bixby, microsoft, google music, video, books, all carrier trash, almost all samsung stuff in "bloatware section", also disabled many services in a lot of apps, I am running naptime, greenify and hibernator, so far, all working fine
SM-N950F here same problem.
Mine ended up random rebooting four times from Sept 7 through about Feb 1. Then about two weeks ago, it completely froze, then decided the port was wet and wouldnt charge at all (port wasn't wet). tried a few things, then did a factory reset, where it actually rebooted probably 20-22 times (well, during the reboot process, the black screen with Samsung flashed probably 20 times).
Needless to say, I talked with Samsung and then TMobile. Got a replacement and it's been great since.
Can't believe it's now been over 5 months since I first got my Note 8. Even counting the replacement, I still LOVE this phone.

It seems Oreo Update has fixed this, at least for me. No unwanted reboots since a few days.

Thanks for the update, please keep us up to date even if you continue to have no problems under Oreo. BTW, I have the exact same problem (using N9500 dual SIM with Samsung processor as opposed to Qualcomm) as you but do not have Oreo available yet. I'm getting the restart message every few days and its always after the phone has been idle, usually overnight. Its asking for a PIN due to restart as I use face recognition. Also I transferred over data from a Note 3. Want to ask you, did you try to wipe the phone completely as a solution to the restart problem (before Oreo became available)?
Thanks so much in advance!
I am still waiting for oreo OTA, but after almost 5 months, I have not had a single random reboot or freezing, even though I have a bunch of stuff disabled

Bluetooth audio playback issue due to wifi?

Hi Everyone,
Recently started having an issue with my moto g5s plus. Ill be playing audio over bluetooth to any of my various bluetooth speakers / car then all of the sudden audio will stop being transmitted to the device and it will start coming out of the phone. One way to solve it is re-do the pairing which is a no brainer as to why that "solves it". But another way is to turn wifi off, wait a bit, then turn it back on and walla, audio stops playing out of the phone and goes back to the bluetooth device that was never disconnected!!?!?!
This is REALLY odd, has anyone else had this issue, if so what was your solution.
Latest 7.1.1 android with June 1st security update (NPSS26.116-48-18). The issue has started within the last few weeks, doesnt matter what audio app (pandora / play music etc) and doesnt matter what bluetooth device it is hooked to. Wifi Location scanning has been turned off, same problem.
WHAT TO DO!??!
no one
This is happening to me too this is so annoying as I use phone for car audio. I re did the pairing but no luck. And I have had huge Bluetooth battery drain too.
So tempted to flash custom rom as its taking so long for Oreo or even a security update 4 months behind here in NZ for security
right, im in the same boat. I dont know if it was the security update with the June 1st security update (actually i know it wasnt this as i have been running this for a long while without issue). So this begs the question what the hell changed to make it start popping to speaker audio when listening to bluetooth audio and wifi disconnects?!?!
It's been happening to me since I got this device, and it also happened on my older Moto G3, it's a ROM optimization problem as far as I know. If I'm not mistaken, the Bluetooth and WiFi chips are the same, and the ROM does not handle pretty well both active connections at the same time. Custom ROMs seem to do this pretty well, so if you really want to fix this I suggest you install a custom ROM, or maybe wait for the Oreo update and see if that fixes the problem.
I have had this phone since it came out over a year ago. This issue has just started to happen within the last month or two. My vehicle, wifi at home and work, bluetooth devices i hook to in and around the office and home have not changed.

I got it today, I'm on retus channel. I'll test the Bluetooth and report back if the problem is solved.
UPDATE: Problem still there.
Others are claiming that updates are starting to roll in for retus. So hopefully your wait will get shorter.
Moto G5S Plus XT1806, Liquid Remix v9.1.4 ROM, MultiROM, XDA Legacy
Just got notified this morning on my phone. Downloading as we speak with fingers crossed.
also...
FREAKING FINALLY getting oreo.... bout a year late.
Update, looks like it solved the issue!!!! THANK GOD. that was annoying as hell, lets hope it stays fixed.

S10 rebooting in standby

Anyone else having issues where their S10 randomly reboots during standby? Mine seems to he doing that more when I have AOD enabled (done so 3 times today alone). I can't seem to isolate it to a specific app so it's confusing the heck out of me.

Not the auto restart functionality is it? ?
Nope. I have that disabled and this issue has happened a few times during the day.
