Not that I own one, but I'm curious also. I wonder, what kernal you are using and if it is the same as the p3100. If so, the 3100 method may work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TomSilverSpring:
When I try to turn on bluetooth, the icon and text indicates that the system is trying to turn it on. However, it never actually turns on and after a few minutes reverts to indicating that BT is shut off. This problem used to occur sporadically and sometimes seemed to be cured by rebooting. However it is now at the point that it just won't turn on no matter what. I did the requisite googling and found nothing very definitive. It looks like I may have to do an exchange on the unit but I would rather not go to the effort of unrooting this unit and rooting the replacement.

Any suggestions of things to try beyond what I have indicated above?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
Are you using an experimental ROM or stock rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TomSilverSpring:
Jedi Mind Trick XI (although the problem has been growing worse and has happened across the last several JMT versions). I will give a stock rooted ICS a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TomSilverSpring:
I just tried a stock rom and the problem persisted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jzxpw6:
I have the same problem

I have scoured the net looking for an answer, any answer, to this problem. It seems that a few people are having the same issue. But before it is ever answered, some dip$#!t always jumps in and says "I have the same problem, my phone won't connect to my car." Then the conversation goes off into other people that can't connect their bluetooth to their car or their headset- or their cat... That is not the same problem!!!

I cannot turn my bluetooth on unless I soft reset the phone. Even after I've gotten the bluetooth working, if I restart my phone the bluetooth turns off and when you try to turn it on, it says "Turning on Bluetooth..." It cycles for about a minute and a half and then goes back to "To see devices, turn on Bluetooth."

I bought this phone on Amazon for what appeared (at the time) to be a reasonable price. Since then, I believe that I have read at least one of the seller's post about bluetooth not coming on (no proof, just an educated guess). The seller probably got rid of the phone because noone could or would give an answer to this problem. Heck, it's possible that every post that I've read so far is by someone who owned this phone at one point or another. :silly:

I am sending this post to XDA because even the adminstrators on android forums say that you guys are the smartest and most responsive forum available. (Okay, they didn't say smartest- it was implied). Please help me resolve this issue.

I rooted this phone the moment that I pulled it out of the box. In other words, I don't know if the bluetooth issue is caused by the root, or if the previous owner didn't root the phone and also couldn't get the bluetooth to work. I believe that, because the phone is rooted, I should be able to remove and reinstall the app that bluetooth is based upon.

I am not a techie, the only reason I know anything about root is because I was complaining to someone about my old phone and how all of the bloatware that seems to constantly run eventually kills my battery. He told me about rooting, and it was easy enough - the rest is history. In other words, if you ask me for more information- I promise that I can give it to you. Yet, have patience with me if I ask you a question that you believe that any person that has rooted their phone should know.

I really hope that you guys can help me without bricking my phone. I truly appreciate any suggestions or thoughts on this matter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TomSilverSpring:
I am beginning to think that the problems I have had are related to the condition of the battery contacts.I have several third party batteries with contacts that are somewhat damaged from the pins on an external charger that came with them. I seem to experience a variety of problems when I try to use them.my original factory battery seems to work most of the time. I have several new Samsung batteries on order and will post again if they seem to solve the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badaphooko01:
i had the same problem and it started with JMT so I switched roms countless times and the problem kept coming back. It would work for a little bit but when i turned it off it would not turn back on. I decided to go back to stock to see if the problem was still there and it was gone. Since then I have rerooted and once again flashing diff. rom every other day and bluetooth works just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] enveous:
Well it seems no answer was found. I'm having the same issue as stated above. In my case, my bluetooth (custom ROM) keeps trying to turn on with the message "Turning On Bluetooth" until I soft reset the phone, after that it works fine.

Was having bluetooth crashes for months using CM 10.1 on a T989 (no custom kernels)

Would crash anytime I tried to connect to car BT audio, or would simply not start up.

Flashed this yesterday.... and no crashes!

For flash: Wiped dalvik/cache, flashed, fix permissions, reboot, start BT, deleted all devices, re-add.

No BT crashing of any sort for 36 hours now.

[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
The stock battery in my EVO 3D is looking pretty bad. I was wondering why it had such poor battery life lately.... until I noticed the battery is bulging so much it barely fits back in the phone, and almost pushes the back cover off.

Since I always wanted to increase it's running time anyway, I bought that 1960mAh extended battery from Mugen off Amazon. Pretty damn expensive, but reviews everywhere say they are a very good brand. (Plus the others were like $5-10, which I REALLY don't trust).

Anyway, the new battery finally arrived yesterday. Glad I made it before my phone went thermonuclear, I pop it in and...... nothing. Phone won't turn on. Figuring the battery has almost no charge since its new I leave my phone in the charger overnight..... still nothing. There is a very very VERY faint red light that blinks when the battery is in and I try to turn it on (Didn't even notice until I took a very close look all over my phone), but other than that, no response at all from my phone. I get the same reaction with the faint blinking red light if I have no battery in the phone and plug it in the charger.

I used a multimeter and the new battery reads at around 3.97 Volts (the stock one reads at around 4.00 or 4.02 volts on a partial charge). Even though it says 3.7Volts on the label.

Don't tell me I got a bad battery? I really don't want to have to run on this damaged battery for another week. Are there any retail stores that carry these? I only found Sears but they charge $85 instead of $45 for the same battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevin130:
Probably have a bad battery. You can go to a sprint store. They have. Thats where I got mine for like $40

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Just dig around on this forum, in any of the boot animation threads. If it's just the bootanimation.zip, then DL it and place it on your SD card. Go into system/media and rename the bootanimation that's already there to "bootanimation.zip.bak." Now, move the bootanimation.zip that you placed on your SD card to the system/media folder and set perms to rw-r-r.

Sometimes, the bootanimation is packaged into a flashable zip. In this case, extract the zip. After it's extracted, go into data/local and the bootanimation.zip is there. Copy this to your external SD and use the same procedures as above. I prefer copying and pasting the zip, over flashing it because sometimes the flashable zip doesn't work on every device.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NG113:
I rooted my defy+, 2.3.4, deleted a few apk's and also factory reset+wiped cache+ wiped dalvik cache. I did this to install a CM9 ROM.

Before I could install the ROM, i tried to add a new account to the phone apart from the existing MotoBlur account, but there's an error: "The application Accounts(process com.motorola.setup) has stopped unexpectedly."

What could be the cause and solution? Without email on the phone I'm stuck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savaytse66:
Generally speaking, my battery life is pretty good. However, at least half the day, I am in areas of poor cellular strength; I am usually in the -120 to -100 dBm range. I know this is eating up my battery, but is there anything I can do about it? I don't really want to manually go in and out of airplane mode, but I guess I will if I have to. I do turn off mobile data and stick to WiFi, but the phone radio is still sucking the battery juice.

Does anyone have any advice on how to save some battery in poor coverage areas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luke1987:
When I am at parents I have no service (which destroys battery like you said) so I use Google voice and VoIP over WiFi. It greatly helps but a bit of a pain setting up. I know not perfect answer but it's all the help I have to offer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
The radio on this device does not eat that much battery... on average my device spends most of the time over -100db signal and gets great battery life.

Had like 3 different parents stop watching their kid to watch me video tape mine because they were in awe from my phone. Thats wassup. :good: They all had iphones which made it even more funny for myself. They were all like, "wow that is beautiful" "thats so big, but i like it" You should have seen their face when i unleashed the slow motion feature on them. WHOA !!!!! hahahahaha."What kind of phone is that" "Is that a phone" "Who makes it", Man they all lost it.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adrian-:
I had the same problem, Samsung are still in denial! it happens to my GS3 as well. (windows 7)

A workaround is: uninstall Kies and all previous settings. (Uninstall USB driver if it isn't automatically uninstalled. )

Restart the PC, ( then check everything has uninstalled)

Download and install the latest Kies. Run the setup and (it always works with the first sync.)

But when prompted to update firmware components click cancel - Keys will prompt you to every time you connect, click cancel ( if I update it stops working )

Remember that you can also try right-click on the Kies icon and try run it as "Administrator" and see if that helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MIMi King:
Wifi Codes for Android 4+

What I'm Doin?

This application allows you to change your phone's wifi country code ( which is set by your simcard ), to be able to see wifi networks on all channels. This application also helps people who can't see any wireless networks while the simcard is in their phone ( like me ) which is again caused by the bad country code.

What I Need?

1.You have to be rooted.

2.Anything else? :p

Ok cool, How To Get?

You can get the application .apk from here : http://d-h.st/bi2

I will be uploading the application on the market by the time the beta period is over and I'm sure that it works fine on every phone.

Ok gotcha, How To Use?

1. First make sure that wifi is on. ( will be fixed in next releases )

2. Open the application, and put in your desired country code to fly to! :-p

3. You can see 2 main country codes which are already there for you, feel free to use them if they meet your needs!

4. Click `Change It`.

5. Now if it's the first time you are running this application, you will be asked for root permissions. Grant Please!

6. Now If everything goes well you will see a message which says that the country code is changed.

7. Go on and turn off your wifi and turn it back on.

8. You will see all the networks showing up.

Note:You don't have to do this every time the phone boots up... This only needs to be done once. Unless you factory reset your phone.

I can't see any wireless networks

It is caused by new android 4 roms arriving to the devices ( mainly htc phones ) which use some carrier and country specific files to set Wifi Regulatory Domain options ( which was present in wifi settings until android 2.3, but been removed from android 4 and later roms ). If your country code seems unknown to android system, then it fails to set right options and it fails to intiate wireless scan.

To solve this all you need to do is to change your country code manually to a known one, so that android system can determine what channels it should scan for networks.

Change Log

Known Bugs

1. If you run the application when the wifi is off, then you will face issues and you will need to restart your phone. ( I'm trying to solve this, but I believe it's nothing with my application, it's an android bug :) )

2. You Say!

About Beta

This application is still in beta section, and won't get to final releases without the help of you guys.. Feel free to post here if you faced any issues while working with the application.

Does this country code change affect the MAC address on my device ? I have applications that are sensitive to the MAC address and if this address is changed, it will cease to work.

Will this be of any use to someone in the USA who doesn't travel outside the USA? Will the app enable ALL possible channels? Or is it useful mainly for people in a country who get a ROM which isn't properly coded for the channels in their particular country?

I'm not having any problems finding Wifi signal with the stock AT&T ROM, so far as I know. But if there are any wifi channels available out there in the USA that are not currently enabled by the stock ROM, this might be useful to me, if only to see them.
