Question Bluetooh always on? - Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

Hello, can you help me with a question?
i have bought the watch 5 pro, but i have seen that My Bluetooh is always on when a i turn on the watch, i mean, i turn off the bluetooh and the watch, and when i turn the watch on, the bluetooh also turn on by itself, even when i turned it off last time. The same thing happen with yours? its a device funtion or a Issue??
Cheers

Whenever I power Off/On or restart my Galaxy Watch 5 LTE, it defaults Bluetooth to On as well...

BT will always be on, no other way to communicate with your phone if its off. With BT off its a glorified Timex

WM5: Suspended BA discovers wireless network?!

I had my BA suspended in the pocket near a school yesterday, and suddenly it warned me about having found a new WiFi network. And it was suspended! I'm 100 % sure, since I don't have any software that can turn off the screen and leave the unit running. When I took it up from the pocket, it was on (and that didn't happen by accident either, since I have locked all buttons except for the power button, and I had just put it in the pocket from the passive car holder, where it wasn't on either).
This is with the WiFi fix, that I really like since I almost always need the WiFi when I turn on the unit. But what the heck's going on?
turn off wi-fi and reset
It happened the same to me after the wi-fi fix. I believe you can get rid of this automatic wake up if you turn off wi-fi and reset after 10 seconds.
cheers
fucsia
Thanks! So that will only turn it off temporarily? Most of the time I want WiFi to come on when I turn on the BA.

Anywho, yes, suspending (power button) will turn off the built-in GPS, and I think even bluetooth GPS. TrackMe will just turn off the screen, the phone itself stays on, and it'll keep tracking as long as the phone doesn't turn itself off.
I use PhoneAlarm to set the suspend time to disabled, turns up the backlight, turns up notifications, and runs TrackMe in a "GPS Tracking" profile, so I just change profiles and go.
I suppose more GPS Tracking programs are not a bad idea, just... eh.. Duplication I guess.

Car dock disables

Does anyone else have a problem with the car dock randomly disabling and playing on regular speaker mode? Almost every time I dock it the phone will stop and using the navigation on it I need the loud dock speaker not the regular phones speaker. The phone still shows the orange light so it seems to still be connected to the power. I thought bumps may cause the plug to get lose and disconnect but since the orange light is on I don't think its that plus reconnecting it sometimes doesn't help. Any ideas? I'm going to use it for a 8 hour drive so I hope someone helps!!

Mine seems to goof up if I leave wifi on. Try turning off wifi. That seems to work for me. Sometimes if I drive past a house or whatever that has wifi my phone picks it up and it seems to goon up my car dock connection. Hope this helps

my wifi automatic turns off when i leave my remembered locations so i know its not on. its so annoying to worry about the gps/phone/navigation when getting turn by turn directions. this is because even though the phone has been connected and the light stays on when returning from the long drive the and undocked the phone i found the phone very low on battery. i dont understand why if i always checked the light to make sure its not being disconnected since i thought that would mean its not using the battery to power it. this time i am going to try like 4 apps that say they will keep it in dock mode bluetooth on so we will see. i wish i didnt have to load all these apps and just knew which works but i cant risk this happening in a big busy city.

This happens to me too, every once in a while. What I do is unplug the dock from the power, plug it back in, insert my N1 into the dock, go into settings and repair the dock. Works after that.

will keep this in mind. i noticed another problem. i lowered the audio when playing pandora internet radio but i cannot put it back to loud! ive tried audiomanager and nothing. used navigation to turn it up but it says its maxed already yet both are very low. its so odd that i can lower the audio but not make it louder. ive now lowered it to like 1 bar and cant hear nothing unless totally silent in the car. ive even downloaded some apps to max the dock audio but i dont think they worked. time to reinstall cm i guess.

Did you try the volume buttons on the dock?

Oops, just noticed a typo. My sentence should read like this: "This happens to me too, every once in a while. What I do is unplug the dock from the power, plug it back in, insert my N1 into the dock, go into settings and re-pair the dock (via Bluetooth). Works after that.

yea thahts the problem i cant make the volume higher just lower and no way i can get to the phones buttons without undocking the phone. hmmm i wonder if the volume is in the actual dock and a unplug will restore it.
Have had this problem (random bluetooth disconnects) with the car dock since, I think, 2.2.1 came along. Reseting the car dock (power off and on) sometimes resolves the issue. Prior to 2.2.1 I don't think this problem existed. Anyone confirm that ?
*Update* Nexus One died totally today and is being collected by HTC UK tomorrow. That might explain some of the more bizarre behaviour I have been seeing.
ive had the problem on 2.1 but it wasnt a big deal for around town. found it a pain in unknown cities especially noisy highways using the stock speaker on the phone. i got home today from the trip i must take every 6 months and stayed parked trying to figure it out. 1st thing i had to do was up the volume. i found a nice app called a2dp volume that helped restore max volume on the actual car dock. at that exact moment it was docked but switched back to speaker kicking off all car dock apps like navigation and car mode. i just left it in the dock trying not to tiggle anything to reactate it and checked the settings-wireless and bluetooth. under bluetooth settings way at the bottom in paired devices i saw the car dock nexus one. it said it was paired but not connected. i held down the item and clicked connect (also if clicking the item gives you like 3 checkmarks 2 checked but 1st box is unchecked named Connect) and that is how i fix it now. really annoying to navigate through all that just to reconnect the bluetooth to the device. looking for a app that will help with this. if anyone finds it please reply!
When you say your wifi turns off, does it turn itself back on when you go back to you remembered networks? If so disable wifi completely.

i have a app called y5 that completely turns off the wifi when away from the remembered area. with that app, i cannot turn on/off the wifi because the app will not allow changes unless i turn off that app.

issues in 5.0.1 so far

- Sometimes the watch does not show any notifications anymore. Restarting the Watch "fixes" this behaviour
- Theather Mode is great. However it does not even vibrate anymore. At least there should be an option to keep the watch vibrating.
- After directly archiving a Gmail Notifcation it vibrates again. Why? Didnt do it on kitkat and i see no reason for it despite using more battery juicy.

Fabio

1 confirmed, noticed the same. Only reboot of watch helps. Occurred 2 times.
2 agree.
3 don't get many Gmail notifications, so cannot say anything about it.
My watch vibrates without reason when it is on the charger. Tried resetting my clock, put in silent mode, theater mode and even flight mode and it still vibrates. It doesn't vibrate Al the time, once every 5-10 minutes and some times more. It works fine out of the charger, no issues at all.
Didn't have this problem before update to 5.0.1

This is by design and indicates when the watch connects/disconnects to/from the phone. When it connects to the phone, it vibrates once; when it disconnects, it vibrates twice.
If you reboot your phone, the watch will vibrate twice when the phone's Bluetooth turns off and once when it turns back on. Or when you leave the watch on the cradle and walk away from it with your phone far enough to lose the Bluetooth connection, it will vibrate twice to let you know it disconnected from the phone. When you get back within range, it will vibrate once to let you know it reconnected to the phone.

Not always. See the link I posted above. My watch would vibrate at random while charging and the phone was on the cradle charging (and turned on) it would appear that the watch was possibly not getting a high enough current at times due to the phone charging.

I have also this issue (on R and G watch). It is when contact is not well between watch and dock. Seem OK but I must press watch to ensure right contact without vibrate signal for charge ON/OFF. Look at your charge icon on watch when vibrate to see if it is good
Thanks all for your info. I have my phone off during night maybe this is a new feature that reminds you about lost connection to the phone ? Tried all other suggestions with no luck

Had the same last night, noticed that my watch was waking up (just like me ) several times. Secured it better in the dock and all well again.
Removed wear mini launcher to see if that solves the "not receiving notifications anymore" problem (which was easily cured by a reboot of the watch). After removing wear mini launcher I also had to restart the watch because notifications did not work anymore, so it could be related.

Item 1 - I faced the same problem intermittently. The notifications come back again after I manually displayed the previous message (the one without notification) on the watch.

Let me try to explain my case:
- when this issue first happened, my watch did not display the notification when the notification is received on my phone
- I then swiped the screen of my watch to check if the notification was transferred to my watch or not although it was not displayed
- After swiping, the missing notification displayed on my watch immediately which indicated that the message was transferred to my watch although it was not displayed
- After the above actions (swiping and read the notification), my watch was back to normal for a while (the notifications could be displayed on the watch automatically).
I repeat the above actions every time when I noticed the notifications could not be displayed automatically.

I have same issue few times since the last update
It is strange to ear the notification sound and see nthing on watch, I look at phone and I see the notifcation icon on notification bar and all like you.
This Wear update sucks horribly. I've had this watch, GWR,for two weeks. I like it. Wear is complete garbage. Notifications randomly stop pushing to watch, reboot to temporarily fix. Randomly get 'offline' message despite showing 'connected' in Wear app, reboot fixes temporarily. Upon giving voice command, watch occasionally displays 'offline' message despite a strong data connection, usually no more notifications with this as well, reboot to fix. Battery life is 14 hours at best. So at the end of the day, I have a 300$ AMOLED watch. I bought this device so I could keep my phone in my pocket...this happens about one fifth of the time. The rest is me rebooting, uninstalling, reinstalling toggling Bluetooth and now randomly checking my phone to see what I'm missing because the toy on my wrist is totally unreliable. Nice work Google.

What kind of phone is your watched paired with? I get about 2.5 to 3 days on a charge. Everything is rock solid for the most part. The only thing I'm pissed about is I keep getting my step count card even though I tried fit notifications off.

I'm paired to an LG G2 rooted on xdabbebs 2.2.0. I can stretch my battery further but I chose to leave screen always on, skymaster face with ambient on level 3-4. 2-3 days is believable if your screen is off, backlight low, using theater mode here and there.... everyone's mileage will vary for sure but mine was definitely low.
I think I may have figured out what is causing the random disconnects and could be to blame for higher battery consumption. I'm gonna wait until tonight and see if my connection remains solid before I get too excited.
So far so good though after 12 hours.

I think it has a lot to do with a setting in Bluetooth on my LG G2 that is labeled 'connectivity authorization' or something like that. I have to go in and re-tick 'automatically' every time I cycle Bluetooth on/off or reboot phone, as it defaults to 'always ask' and that is when I get the fast battery drain and connectivity issues. The other issue is that I fly for a living, generally two legs a day, so I am constantly switching into airplane mode on phone and watch and it seems that a huge drain occurs upon landing and coming out of airplane mode. After a bit the drain tapers off.
I'm looking more for a fix for the constant disconnections
My battery is fine I've had 2 days out of it and it's normally more than 50% by the end of the day
If you haven't tried already, reset the watch and make sure you pair it with the Wear app, not thru Bluetooth settings. Do you have the option in your phone Bluetooth menu under the connected watch to change the connectivity from 'always ask' to 'automatic ' ? I'm 90% sure this is causing my problems.

Galaxy s10 screen wakes / turns on on its own... annoying bug

I've searched far and wide and can't find a solution for this issue.
Here is what happens: for no reason that I can see (no new notifications), my screen turns on its own. My phone is just there on the table when this happens and I haven't touched it.
This happens whether the phone is plugged in or not. It happens in the middle of the night and wakes me up.
Things I came tried:
- turn on do not disturb and remove all exceptions.
- disable always on display.
- disabled all lock screen notifications.
- disabled a notifications.
Other things I've tried:
Lift to wake and all other things that could wake the screen.
Did a factory data reset and re setup my phone from scratch.
Nothing works. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance.
I had the very same problem until a few days ago when this behaviour suddenly stopped. What changed? I had shutdown my Pebble watch and connected a Wear OS watch to my phone.
I don't know what the Pebble did, but it looks like it woke up my phone at random intervals.
Maybe it a bluetooth device you've connected?
I'm expeciencing sometimes this behaviour when listening to the music on bike with phone in pocked on back. I disabled all "smart" funcions like smart lock, pocket detecting, wearing detection etc and it stopped.
I think it is caused by new type of proximity sensor used in whole S10 line (so I think it is hw related). I read somewhere than it detects skin proximity even thru several layers of cloting.
It is behaving strange even during phone calls - when put phone down from my ear, it tooks several seconds until screen lights on.
it's one of the things that bothers me a lot about otherwise great phone.
facing same issue
I always loved Samsung galaxy s10. I bought it from my friend who used it for 10 months. I am facing the same issue first I thought it is because he used it for 10 months and some bug appeared but now I came to know its not just me. if anyone knows how to fix it then please post a reply. I really need to fix this
I haven't noticed that on my S10. It sounds like something is triggering it, but what. Do all of you use Bixby because I don't.
