Within the last week I've started to experience an error that says "unfortunately bluetooth has stopped" dozens of times per day. If I am in a public place like a mall or an airport then the error happens literally about every 5 minutes. When the error happens I can look at my settings and see bluetooth has been turned off and it will automatically turn back on until the error happens again. I am stock and not rooted.
I've researched on the Internet and this error appears to be related to a Bluetooth bug in Android 4.4.2. Apparently every time the phone sees a Bluetooth device, it registers that device in a log regardless of whether you connect to it or not. Once the log reaches some high number that from memory is somewhere near 2000 devices, the error occurs because the bug is that the log doesn't flush itself and can't handle the next device that sees.
That matches my experience. I can connect to my own Bluetooth devices including my android wear watch but when I am in public, presumably where there are a lot of Bluetooth Beacons, I will start having the error in my android where watch dropping offline. At that point the only thing that you can do is restart the phone and it will work again until it sees another Bluetooth device. It's a horrible bug.
The only way to reset the log appears to be to reset your phone. With me being stock and not rooted, are there any options for a mass backup and restore of my phone's apps and data without having to actually set the phone up again and deal with each app individually? I'm going to be getting the new LG flex 2 when it comes out so I don't want to spend much time on this but would love to fix it if it was easy.
It's ASTONISHING Google has not offered a fix for this HUGE bug, which is affecting thousands of people.
Shame on them.
I was having the same problem. A quick google search said to go into the Settings, Application Manager, All, Bluetooth and reset the Bluetooth app. I went ahead and cleared data and cache. Hopefully this works. I really don't want to do an FDR.
I'm having the same issue although I tried clearing the data and cache, forced stop the restarted my phone - when my phone came back up it still had my other 2 bluetooth devices in the memory so I thought that by forcing stop it somehow didn't really clear the cache and data so I then cleared those again and then when back to the bluetooth app - they were still there even though I specifically cleared the data. Then I tried clearing and then just restarting the phone after it cleared - to now avail. : (
I've been searching for an answer to this problem because I have bluetooth speakers I want to connect to but every time it gets to the searching for devices and it sees it the bluetooth app crashes and then restarts and crashes when I hit the search for devices again. over and over again!
This totally BLOWSl -

After updating to 2.3.4 cellphone keeps donwloading updated version of an app (in this case Angry Birds Season) multiple times. I already deleted the app, unnistalled but the only way to stop it seems to be deactivating any type of internet connection (wifi/3g)
Any way to fix it?
try unchecking 'automatically update' in the market page of that app
Happened to me. I uninstall update of market app. Then run market to see
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
I have to wait for it to finish downloading the multiple copies. It stopped after that. However, I want the app, and hoping the issue stopped I tried to install it again, but it started all over.
About the market update, the option "automatically update" is only turned on for foursquare (which I have to test again yet, was not working since last try).
Sometimes this happen due to the internet connection having intermittenly disturbance while updating which resulting having your device rescan and reupdating again and again. Or it can be also from human error as you press update button multiple times which triggered to a multiple downloads.
The last one comes from the app(Market) itself. You may try uninstalling the Market app and reinstalling it again to create new database and cache from a fresh installed.
Hi thanks!
I replaced the old market by the 3.1.3. Seems to be a bit heavier though.
I also noticed that the internet connection got a bit slower than the usual after upgrading. There is any optimisation to be done?
It also happened with me and I think it's mainly because of internet connection and pressing update multiple times just update it smoothly it will not download multiple time. It's really pain to download one update multiple time
Next time just press the update once and it will eventually updating, sometimes it take a little bit longer to start the update process so you got to be patient on this.
Internet connection normally base on your service provider(Telco) and distant between you and the transmitting tower. To optimise it, you better get the APN update direct from your service provider and stay within the coverage area..
just one thing.
Few apps internet and gps related are not working as it should, like foursquare.
How do I know if I made a full upgrade or not? Because I might want go back to 2.2.1
Recently my car stereo stopped syncing the phone book and call log from my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I don't know how or why. It simply stopped working. I want to reset the connection, i tried unpairing but this didn't work. I want to actually delete the connection from the phones memory. As of now whenever I click on Bluetooth, JVC Unit is always listed there. When I first established a connection it asked if it was ok to share my phones call log and phone book, and gave a check box to remember my response for next time. I cliked OK and REMEMBER and everything was fine. Now I think it could be possible that somehow it has been set to "NO" and "Remember"(although that would be weird since I didn't mess with it) thus no matter how many times I connect, it always refuses to share. I don't know if this is really the problem, or how to fix it. Any ideas? FYI the phone works fine through Bluetooth it just has no history or data in the phone log and phone book functions.
Have you updated the ROM?

I am having the same problem on Sensation XE. It seems that with some ROMs it communicates without problems, in other cases it does not show call logs. Try to figure out what you've changed. Have you accepted any OTA?

Hey guys, I've been searching for problems first before posting but I've yet to find a thread that actually fixes this specific problem. It's a little different than the other threads I've seen. Basically my phone can connect to my interwebs and I can browse webpages on dolphin browser but I can't connect to the play store. I've tried going to the play store on my desktop and trying to download apps to my phone that way but they never start downloading on my phone. I've tried resetting my router, multiple times yet it only worked once and hasn't worked any other trys after that. I've also tried dialing multiple " *# " numbers, some don't even connect and *#0011#* gave me an error about my connectiong and an invalid MMI. My router is secured through a WPA-key. Another thing that just recently started up was that snapchat would give me an error when I open it saying it has stopped working. Unrelated perhaps but maybe not.
I've been able to connect to other routers at other houses and my school, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I've noticed that when the wifi signal icon turns blue then everything will work. When it's grey, it's a complete toss up on whether it'll work or not.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10.2-20130925

If you did a factory reset when you upgraded to 10.2, then there isn't much you can do. If you have not done that, do it.

No, I haven't factory reseted it. I'm trying to avoid any factory resets to lose my information but right about now I'd try anything. Do you have an up to date guide on flashing ROMs and keeping my contacts?

Contacts are synced to your Google account. But you can export them from the contacts app just to be safe.
You can back up user app data with one of the billion back up apps on the market. Only user apps though, never system apps.
This way, you will only need to redo the system settings. Factory reset will make you lose 20-30 minutes if you're slow.
Since i upgraded my s7 to Nougat, my Smartwatch 3 has failed to stay connected to the phone. Most of the time it refuses to connect at all.
Ive googled for days now, trying all of the usual stuff including clearing the bluetooth cache and wiping the system cache, unpairing the watch, safe mode, forgetting the watch and repairing, removing android wear.
The setup starts working and then during the sync stage, i start getting the bluetooth share has failed message several times although most apps seem to sync eg watchmaker pro and strava.
My question is should the Smartwatch 3 still work correctly with my phone even though the phone is on Android 7.0 and the phone is on 6.0?
Thanks
Andy
My SW3 works great with my HTC 10 running Nougat.
Have you tried doing a factory reset on the watch?
That was going to be my last resort!
Think I may be there though
Thanks,
Andy
Just completed a full reset. Paired first time but crashed several times with bluetooth share has failed.
Failed to complete and no longer connects
I'm also on 7.0 and no problem at all. Maybe is something wrong with your BT from S7, unfortunately I have to tell you to try try factory on the phone, if you can't find out. Samsung for me have strange way of using there BT connections maybe this is why.
Hope I'm not starting any flame but.... that's why I'm on HTC (and not only), Samsung (S4 and S5) phone several times have blocked my car BT system...

Thanks for the feedback. I have done a factory reset and it made no difference, but maybe it is a Samsung issue as nobody with an S7 has indicated they are using an SW3 with nougat.

I'm having same issues. Updated S7 edge to Nougat last week and everything running fine until SW3 ceased connecting today. Tried everything other than factory reset on phone and cannot get connection to SW3.
Mine has started working after a month of failing.
It's been connected for a couple of days without any disconnections.
The latest attempt was no different to any others.....
I switched off the watch, wiped the system cache, restarted the phone and watch and lt connected.
I left it alone as apps started to sync and there were some bluetooth share has stopped messages but everything works!
try this:

If you use in the phone the option "deep kill all apps" in recen menus... you will have sync problem... It happend me with my op3...
I have similar problem with my S7. It works fine with bt connection as long as i connect the watch over wifi. Then no more bt connection is established, only wifi. Turning off wifi makes the watch permanently offline.
Very annoying as my watch can't sync when outside my wifi range.
Any solution so far?
Hey folks!
I just picked up the BS3 after being generally disappointed for most of a year with the Razer Phone 2. I got the EU version (I guess?) and have been having general issues with the wireless.
Periodically, almost the entire suite of wireless connectivity just drops. My WearOS watch (Ticwatch Pro 2020) will disconnect, and the custom watchface I use via Watchfaces disappears. Wifi usually keeps working so I may not notice the drop right away, but if I'm on my phone's cellular connection, nothing goes through even though it shows signal and LTE. In my car on my way home from work this morning I was on the phone with my captain, and the bluetooth connection to my car started cutting in and out, to the point that I had to turn bluetooth off to finish the call. There was no issue up to that point, while driving and listening to Audible.
I am suspecting/hoping it was user error in setting the device up. I backed up my RP2 to Google Drive, because I didn't want to lose my apps/data (I was mostly hoping my Swype settings and game logins would transfer over, since Swype died and I'm being a luddite, and the games require the hassle of 'transfer IDs') and have my text messages transfer over easily. I think it also possibly transferred the core device stuff like cellular and bluetooth settings as well, though am not sure.
Turning airplane mode on and off seems to 'reset' things and it'll reconnect to stuff, for a while again at least. I noticed I am somehow still getting at least some push notifications on my watch even though it shows as disconnected. I am a firefighter, on AT&T's Firstnet, so am also not sure if maybe the Firstnet bands might be being finnicky with the BS3.
Thanks ahead of time for any help and suggestions!
ETA: I also get the "Xiaomi SIM activation failed" alert every time I restart the phone, and sometimes after reboot the keyboard doesn't load. ? I get the feeling ill need to reflash again, but knowing where I went wrong first would help! Also curious if there is a stock Android ROM because this JoyUI seems a hassle, and I just don't want all the Xiaomi stuff.
