There are many posts with people stating their bluetooth is no longer working.
When activated, it trys to go on for about 10 seconds, then stops, and it never activates.
My fix was strange. After getting out of space messages when trying to install Angry Birds Rio, I moved many apps to the external SD card. That still did not fix those messages, and I had plently of space in any event. There's an app on the market that supposedly address this issue...we'll see.
And I had noticed that my bluetooth stopped working. After moving all of those apps back to the phone, bluetooth started working again. Don't know what app(s) caused the problem, but now all is fine with bluetooth.

Just for giggles, have you tried with wifi off? I've noticed wifi sometimes interferes with my BT..
I have this problem too and it still doesn't work even with wifi off and I used permissiondog to see what uses the Bluetooth and uninstalled all of it and still not working so I think when I rooted my phone it messed up the files doing with the Bluetooth.

I am creating this new thread because I haven't seen anything similar for the SGS II.
I can't pinpoint the exact moment when this started (before I rooted the phone), but my screen started turning on and off on its own.
Note that it is only the screen turning on/off, not the phone.
Has anybody experienced the same problem?
Any suspicion on the applications you have installed that may lead to this issue, third-party IM running in the background maybe; Skype, eBuddy, etc.
lol root whould have nothing to do with random reboots. What tweaks youve done since rooting might be the issue or maybe a rouge app.
The "rooting" part was just in case anybody asked
Yes, I installed Skype, but the anomaly started quite a bit after. No tweaks, couple of programs that shouldn't affect anything. The thing is that it does pretty often for two hours and then stops
I will report later when I will have more time to observe the pattern.
Have you opened vlingo voice control app? My phone started flipping out after running that app once. It messed with my screen and gps.

Well I don't have Vlingo, but the default program that comes with the phone (Voice talk, Voice command).....yes! That could be it. It did start around the time I was messing around with it (I still haven't tried the GPS).
Do you still have the problem or did you solve it?
I opened it to trying to find name of app, and all of a sudden my gps turned on and screen lite up.
Two big problems with my EVO 3D that are driving me crazy:
1. I have been having this streaming video issue for a few months now. No matter what streaming video service I use (although mostly YouTube or the G4TV app) the video will start to massively lag eventually. The timing is always different, sometimes its a minute in, sometimes its 10 minutes in, but it WILL eventually start to lag. The sound is still playing, but the video stutters or flat-out stops. And it turns out its not just the video, my ENTIRE PHONE lags when this happens, so much that the hardware buttons and touchscreen don't respond until about 30 seconds to a minute later. This only appears to happen when streaming video, already-downloaded video plays just fine off of the SD card. Half of the time Sense appears to crash when this happens too, since I see it restarting after I exit the streaming app. My cousin has an EVO 3D as well and this isn't happening to him, nor have I see anyone mention about this on Google ) the instances of lag I found were buffering issues. I don't have any idea where to begin finding out what is causing this, does anyone have any hints?
2. My G-Mail app stopped working. And I don't mean it stopped syncing like it has for others before, I mean it dosen't work anymore period. I can still launch the app, my accounts are still there, but NO new mail since Janurary 12 has shown up, manually choosing refresh does nothing. I tried rebooting my phone, and even clearing the Gmail app's data.... all it does now is say "Your email will appear shortly" ... its been saying this for about three days now. I can't even use G-Mail on my phone anymore! Help?

Are you rooted? If so, are you on a custom ROM? If yes, which one? On average a simple wipe fixes the problems you talking about. I can't say much about the streaming issue since I've never experienced it, but for the Gmail issue, go into Settings>Applications>Manage applications and find Gmail, then "Clear data". Once you set it up again the problem should go away (at least that's my experience).

As I said, I already tried that, didn't work.
I use my phone at work to listen to Pandora and TuneIn a lot, but one day it started stuttering so bad I could no longer use them.
For example, with Pandora, when I start the app it'll say "Loading" or "Buffering 1%" then skip to the next song.. and skip to the next song, and so on. When listening to TuneIn is plays for a bit, then buffers, stops, plays, stops plays, enough to pretty much be un-listenable.
Now I've tried everything, re-provisioned, factory wiped, even installed a whole new ROM (MeanICS) and it still does this. I've wiped and re-installed the applications, still a no go.
Ran SpeedTest multiple times and everything seems fine. Anyone have a clue as to what in the world is going on?
I blame the network. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I have had more issues with the data on this phone than I have on my old phone. I've talked to Sprint about it and they offer zero help on the issue. I also can't get "Roam only" to work on my phone, so I've been trying to rotate songs through my SD card.
Network issues try a profile.and prl update
Hit the thanks button if i helped
I've experienced this a few times while downloading apps or surfing the web. At times it flies and other times it just crawls. My reception is always 4 or 5 bars and asking Sprint why something isn't working is like pulling teeth.

yea man i do that to and i love google music and when im on 3g it keeps on loading so i keep songs on my sd card also but sometimes google play works on a 3g network. hopefully LTE works alot better.
The nice thing about Google Music is the offline cache, it decreases the pauses when I'm switching between no signal/1x/EVDO. Unfortunately it isn't as helpful when you're mostly without a signal.
When I was on stock ICS of apps that run constantly I had total recall and lightflow installed. My phone would auto connect to my car without fail. I installed doubletwist and started to have problems. Sometimes it would connect and other times it wouldn't. It seemed if I had been using airtwist or using the phone a lot prior that it would fail. On restarting the phone it would boot and auto connect. When it failed to connect it I checked task manager and the memory usage was quite high.
I moved to stock JB and all was fine again. I assume JB manages memory better than ICS. Then I installed tasker and now I have a problem again.
I can only think with a lot of background processes running it is interfering with the bluetooth connection.
Is this the case and is there a way round it? I have just set developer options to kill anything as I leave it to see if this helps.
I would appreciate any other suggestions.
Got in the car earlier and the phone didn't connect. This is driving me nuts. I don't want to start removing programs if there is a simple fix. It must be related to something I have installed as it has been fine in the past.
I nobody else having this issue?
I've been having an audio issue on this phone and it's getting quite irritating.
If I use the stock Music app or the Google Play Music app to listen to music and turn the screen off, eventually the audio gets cut out. The only way to fix it is by closing the music app entirely and reopening it. But once I turn the screen off, the issue comes back.
Someone on the OnePlus One forum had the same issue on their HAM2, but they said it went away. I've had my phone for almost month now and it's still here. I've tried the normal power saving mode, and both music apps don't show up in the protected apps list.
There's also a Bluetooth audio issue. Once connected to a Bluetooth device, the music skips around.
Anyone else have this/these issue(s)?

I've ordered a HAM2 but don't have it yet, but this is really an Android issue (there's still a BT skipping issue in KK 4.4 when playing music from an SD card in devices with an SD card slot). Some users with different phones have reported success in stopping the skipping by going into BT settings and choosing "visability timeout" and moving that setting to "never timeout." Good luck.

Weird, my previous 3 year old phone with 4.4.4 didn't have this issue. All the music was on the SD card too.
I'll try the BT later and see if it still happens.

In another forum, a person for whom the visibility input fix didn't work, who believed his issue was with another app running in background and using system resources posted that he used safe mode and lost the BT skipping issues (and confirmed his issue was app related). It's always a pain to try to determine if an app is causing issues if you've got a new device and installed a lot of apps at once. I've had to do that a couple of times and felt like pulling my hair out until I found the offending culprit.

I guess if finding out which app is the culprit becomes too difficult and a factory reset is needed, it won't be too bad as Google Play will automatically reinstall the apps.
However my priority is music from the SD card, and it'll be impossible to listen to anything if this doesn't get fixed.
YES I have this problem all the time and It's starting to make me mad
I had problems with audio both streaming through bluetooth and Chromecast. Bluetooth would stutter and skip frequently (rebooting fixed it temporarily), and music would just stop on the Chromecast at the end of the current song after turning my screen off (also fixed for a short while by rebooting). I returned the phone because of these issues. I'm hoping that 4.4 will fix these problems and I can buy another one.

Someone on a different device and forum solved this by going to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Music > Uninstall updates.
I did Force stop > clear cache > clear data > uninstall updates, and updated again through Play Store but the issue still exists. It's so frustrating. Can't listen to music on the train or in the car unless I leave the screen on, which is dumb.

It hasn't really been acting up the last couple of days. However before that I couldn't listen for 2 minutes without it cutting out.
Oh well. Problem solved itself, I hope it stays like that.
EDIT: I'm going to try streaming through bluetooth to see if I have any problems, as a lot of others were complaining about it.

Interesting, the people on our boat on the OnePlus One forums said the same thing. I wonder if I should just let the error happen and see if it fixes itself instead of trying to avoid it by leaving the screen on.
And please do! I completely forgot to test the bluetooth problem.
I had the skipping thing and what I did to get rid of it was turn "off" the smart battery saver, and set it to normal.
Cuts the battery time, but good grief, even with it off, I get 2 days EASY.

So I have been using my "Big Blue Live" bluetooth speaker for the past couple of days. I've probably listened to a couple hours worth of music and it hasn't skipped once. I don't have a bluetooth compatible car to test car compatibility in, otherwise I would do that too. But I don't have any skipping problems.
HOWEVER I remember I was coming back home from a trip and I wanted to listen to the radio from Chicago so I downloaded an app and hooked it up to the car via bluetooth (it was a rental) and IT was cutting out....that may have just been a problem with the app though.
