Radio app keeps turning off/on/off/on etc - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

Bought new Galaxy S20 FE August last year. Put my favorite radio app on it and it keeps going off/on/off/on/off/on etc.
My old S8 with cracked screen keeps on working nonstop.
Have been told its the buffering thats doing it.
Any ideas as to what I can do to fix the problem

[Q] Rooted my Samsung S5 Mini yesterday now it is ringing a police siren non-stop?

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini G800F yesterday using Odin method. It rooted without any problems & everything seemed fine. I switched off my phone overnight & this morning I turned it on & while it was loading up I left the room for about 10 mins, And I heard this what I thought was a passing Police car, then I come back to my room & you can imagine my shock when I realize it's coming from my phone! Funny thing was that I don't know where it came from,no indicators/notifs of where it was from or which app,I checked some apps but it was not any of them. There was nothing I could do to stop it,only turn down the volume. Then Thank God after a while it ceased.
Think has never happened before,only happening after I rooted yesterday. I know it don't seem bad as I make it but this is not OK! What on earth have I done to my beautiful phone?
Anyone have any ideas about this & what's going on? Could it be some virus or malware as a result of the root? I dunno please please help.
Hey, have you got any third party mail apps such as yahoo as it might be a notification problem. It sounds like an anti theft software was triggered but I'm sure it shouldn't have. Type *#0*# into your dialer and test the low frequencies if you have anymore problems. I have no idea why but I was told it helps.

Bluetooth keeps turning off after Oreo update

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?

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 ?

Weird behaviour from Samsung Apps

Peeps,
I am going to go with this chronically, although i am not sure if things are connected to each other.
1. A few months back, Watch didnt pair with Phone, i noticed that Galaxy Wearable disappeared from my phone. I manually installed the APK as the update wasnt available on the stores.
2. Again, past two months, i kept randomly losing my alarms in Samsung Clock...although, never manually updated this one.
3. Yesterday, i get a notification from Galaxy Wearable that i should install Samsung Health if i want to sync the stats between the watch and phone/cloud. Well, i updated the app to get Dark Mode cause the update does not show up on the store. How the hell did it delete itself?
All this, coming after some shady Chinese company detected in Device Care (not anymore, i know) and randomly receiving the Find My Mobile notification (i am one of them).
Phone is not rooted, and i am VERY sure i do not have any malware on it.
Samsung health got uninstalled, seemingly by itself, on my Note too. Two days ago.

Question S21U Bootup Logo

Anyone noticing that after updating to OneUI 4 upon turning on the phone it does not say "Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G", not is says only "Samsung Galaxy". Or am I the only one who got this "bug"?
Weirdly, my wifes S20+ already got the february security patch while Im still waiting for an update. And on her phone the bootup logo hasnt changed at all.

Question Watch keeps disconnecting, bluetooth issue on MIUI14

Just updated to MIUI 14 and it was a mistake. My Galaxy watch just randomly disconnects, bluetooth connection needs to be manually started again. This happens on random intervals (but no longer than 1h). Tried reinstalling apps, restarting watch, a2dp, turning off miui optimalization and a2dp, reseting bluetooth connections, and still nothing.
Everything was working fine on android 12. Now the lifetime of my active2 watch is down from 3 days, to maybe 1,5 days.
Anybody has any ideas? I am considering downgrading to android 12, cause it's so bad.
Thanks!
Omg, it's such a relief knowing it is not only me. Seriously, updating to miui 14 was a mistake, whenever I open camera app, the Watch randomly disconnects.
Pls give a solution.
Thnx.
I started having this exact same issue after updating to MiUI 14.
My Gear S3 doesn't even connect anymore. If I manually connect it through the Galaxy Wearables app it disconnects immediately after I close the app. I can fix this by making every app related to the Gear S3 (Wearables App, Gear S3 plugin, Samsung Accessory Service) able to auto-start, then my watch will stay connected, but as soon as I open the camera, either through the system camera app or any other app that uses the camera, my watch will constantly disconnect while the camera is open. And even worse, it will lag like crazy when recording 4K footage, making the final recording look very choppy, rendering it unusable.
So I'm stuck choosing between having a useless smartwatch or being unable to record 4K video. What the hell Xiaomi?

Try changing battery to no restrictions for camera and galaxy wearable. Mine was disconnecting when using camera. Also app lock and auto start Samsung accessory service and gear s plugin. Auto start Galaxy wearable.

Change battery optimization for camera to no restrictions.
