Myself and many others have had crippling issues with bluetooth on CM-based roms and it has gone unfixed for a long time. Bluetooth suddenly just stops working. The icon disappears from the notification menu, and if you try to turn it on, it appears to turn on for a fraction of a millisecond and then shuts off. Rebooting doesn't fix it. Clearing cache from safe strap does fix it (temporarily), but it's a pain in the ass and takes a long time.
This has happened to me both in CM 10.1 and Carbon, and it happens about once a day. Once every two if I'm lucky.
Today I managed to restore bluetooth completely by simply force closing the "Bluetooth Share" app. I did tap "Clear Cache" first in the app's settings, but it didn't appear to do anything (cache remained at 12KB), so I don't know if that step is required. Bluetooth was immediately restored and the icon immediately reappeared in my notification bar. Why this worked but rebooting doesn't is beyond me. I would think since all apps get shut down on reboot, that a reboot would have the same effect... who knows.
Anyway, I just thought I would share my discovery with other frustrated Razr owners. I have only tried it once, but I will update this thread next time I attempt this and post my results.
1st Attempt: Success
2nd Attempt: ??? (will test without clearing app cache)
3rd Attempt: ???
If this does indeed work consistently, it may be possible to create a bandaid fix for this whereby an app running in the background constantly checks to see if bluetooth is turned on, and if not, executes a force close on the app, automatically bringing bluetooth back up.

So this has happened twice now. First on MeanBean and now on Sense 5 Port. Well here's my story
I wake up, then 3 hours later my battery life is dead. Looked at the battery consumption and usage and it was in fact Google Services.. again. I don't know how I fixed it the first time, but damn its annoying and it overheats my phone like no other. Is there a way to fix it?
Searching online I found that factory resets and all that work, as well as disabling google now, done both but still nothing. Do I just wait it out?

Clear data in Google play services and play store, then head to sync and accounts and turn Google sync off, reboot your phone, once the system is loaded go back and re-enable sync and wait for everything to sync, all of the Google services that you have selected should have a green checkmark, open play store and make sure you have the latest version... After that you should be good...

I mentioned this in the original sense 5 thread, but check your playstore version. If it is below 4.1.10, then search for a more recent version. I think there is a leaked version of 4.2.3. That should do it.
Hey, XDA.
I looked around but I couldn't find a similar thread about this.
Back a couple weeks ago, Verizon pushed out the not-so-official-but-it-exists-for-you-to-download VS98523C firmware and I put it on my G3 through the LG Flash tool and it works flawlessly...except for one part...
It seems that when I connect to WiFi, I instantly stop getting push notifications (i.e. no email, WhatsApp, GroupMe, Wunderlist, etc... alerts). But, when I connect back to 4G, I instantly get a barrage of the 'missed' notification from when I was on WiFi.
Also, it's not my WiFi network at home, I've reset my router/AP multiple times, tried different networks, different configurations to no avail.
I was wondering if anyone had the same issue and if there was a fix out there.
If there already is and I still don't know how to read, I'd be more than happy to get a link to it.
Thanks!
Are you living in some type of time warp?

Second post in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3039710
Hi, i bought a Samsung smart led lamp, that connects using Bluetooth Low energy and MESH network to control color temperature and on/off with android app,( which haven't been updated since last year) it seems like Samsung suddenly killed this project, with no news about it, its a great and useful smart led lamp but the app is not working properly, i had problems pairing in first place as app kept crashing but after i got it to work there was no problems, until i updated my s5 from 5.0 to 5.1
after that the app loops between searching and re requesting connection to device, and every time it loops the lamp dims to show a connection attempt, but nothing else happens, so i cant get to menu, where is a option to re-initialize the lamp, ( which doesn't seem to working as well) there is no buttons on the lamp and no info about "manual reset", i tried a fresh install , a different phone and phone with kitkat, but all just crash and loop, also when i try to pair using Bluetooth menu it gives me a error: incorrect pin or password, but it doesn't ask for one, i tried the "forcestop bt share" etc but nothing seems to work, also no stop form Samsung and the email address they give in app page in play store is not in use.
also the log of crash points to : source method: FindViewUnlocked and stack trace starts with: "java.lang.illegalArgumentExpection:View=android.widget.FrameLayout{fe9f3fd V.E.... .....I. o,o-960,192} not attached to window manager"
So now for the real question: is there a way to manually reset the lamp or bypass the pin/password?
sorry if wrong subforum or etc

Hello,

Have you found a trick to reset or smtg ?
Tanks
Try to upgrade the version of the app on your mobile.
Hi. I got same problem. Got two lamps and cant connect to any of them.
Any solution to this?
any solution?
any solution?
I also get 2 bulb. Any solution?
Ive had my ham2 for more than 2 years, been running awesome for that time until all of a sudden it shut off one day randomly. didnt want to restart at first, but eventually got it back on. and since then it's been lagging like crazy. i uninstalled a bunch of apps and removed a lot of files like pics and stuff, and for about a week it was running ok, but now its back to running like crap. it wont even let me install anything from the play store. i tried to install a malware app and it gives me error code -504. some apps don't even open anymore. what is going on??
Mine became buggy within the last two or 3 weeks. I think updating the loaded apps in the Google ap store helped, as well as shutting completely off, and turning back on. I did use a scanner to check for malware and found nothing. Using Lookout Security free version.

looking to format and reinstall
Did you try instructions similar to these:

that didn't work. it's really messed up! looking at my old posts to try to remember how to format it and start fresh.
Hi all,
I'm getting for some time now very annoying full screen ads. I'm not 100% sure about it but I think, the issue appeared after I installed several apps. I have found some older threads related to this issue and I have tried with several antivirus apps, task managers, ad detectors but none of them has helped so far. Has anyone an idea how can I identify the cause of the full screen ads?
BTW
My phone is not rooted and is running Android 7.0.

You didn't explain , did that pop up when you search on the internet example on Google , or when you open some apps ?
Thanks for the response!
It appears when I open apps or when I have an opened app e.g. YouTube or even when I press the home button.
Uninstall all apps which doesn't belong for your phone and see if that ads are again jumping if it's still there do Factory Reset by first make backup of your data and remove all your accounts from phone like Google and so.
I think that peal remote that came with my S6 started placing "full screen" ad on my device.
You can uninstall but I believe you have to disable it.
Most of my ads were coming from dodge
@Teddy Lo: this doesn't make sense to me. Like I mentioned before I have installed several apps. Uninstalling and reinstalling is not the way to go. There must be another way.
@RockStar1965: Thanks for your response but I don't have any of these apps.
Example of a full screen ad i got today

After I did a Factory Data Reset the full screen ads stopped.
