Bluetooth will not switch on. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Having some problems using Bluetooth on my sgs3. When I flick the switch it immediately switches back off again.
Here's the logcat from the point that I try to enable BT to the point where it stops complaining:

Can anyone help me out with this? I have searched around for about 30 mins.

Sorry, first post was a little sparse.
I am using Xylon v4.2-2.7.3.
Android version 4.2.2, kernel 3.0.6.4-CM.

Take a nandroid backup then wipe data via recovery. Test bluetooth. This either rules out or identifies the cause being the rom. If it works (and its not the rom / kernel) then its your data.
This is definitely the best first course of action imo. Cuts the field down the middle and narrows it by half

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I wiped the data area and no dice, so I'm flashing the latest PA to check if it's a problem with the ROM.
EDIT --
Flashed PA and Bluetooth now works with no problems. Then just for posterity I went back and flashed a clean copy of Xylon and it had the problem right from the start.
It's a shame, I really liked Xylon. But looks like I'll be using PA from now on.
Thanks for the help everyone.

At least you've identified it. Paranoid android is good though. My current favourite

RECOMMEND best custom GALAXY S 3 ROM

I got my pebble blue galaxy s3 few days ago and I am on stock rom which is fast and smooth.I disable the home screen lag by disabling svoice.Galaxy s3 is the best phone right now and I like it a lot.
But wondering if I should root it and put a custom rom to use titanium backup and take advantage of rooted rom and other stuff.
So please recommend me a custom rom which can make s3 better and faster.

I rooted my phone on the same day
I wasn't able to stand it more than 5 hours without rooting the s3.
Before i had it in my hands i was decided not to root it in the first month to see
if the hardware isn't faulty. But then it came different very quickly :laugh:
Btw.. i have the pebble blue version too.. which isn't very blue in my opinion
If your planning on using a sdcard, I think roms based on cm9 are a bit finiky with them working with exfat. I'm using Foxhound rom. It's got great features and my 64gb exfat sd works great.

Whats best rom post you sir are number ten thousand and 3 and that's why best rom posts are banned repetitive repetitive repetitive asking the same question day after day .
Consensus of opinion by the way on previous SG models from forum member is simple if you have to ask then stick with stock .

You shouldn't have to disable S Voice. Go into your settings - developer options - windows animations scale and transition animation scale and turn them to 0.5 or off. That will help volumes.
Try all of them out & find out which is best for you. None of us can answer that question because what is best for us, might not be best for you. Best thing about flashing is that you learn so much in the process.
omega is quiet good and fast, in aroma i staller i choosed no blootware version and now i have stable and fast custom rom. I use 5.1 version

Flashlight and Flash

Seems that recently the LEDs for the flash and what are also used for the flashlight are no longer operating on my husbands phone. I've tried wiping and reflashing JellyBlur v1.3 and trying various applications - but it seems that this doesn't help and that those LEDs just don't want to come on. Is there something that I can do to fix this or are they out for good?
I'm also running JellyBlur v1.3 on my phone and my flash/flashlight are working fine. While I'm waiting I'm going to try flashing another ROM to see if that solves the problem, but any tips or helpful posts are greatly appreciated. Thank You. :good:
Update It seems that switching ROMs didn't help it either. The flash still doesn't want to work nor does any flashlight application including stock. Not sure what happened, but hopefully someone can suggest a fix. (Could it be kernel or something similar related?)
- Tried reflashing JellyBlur v1.3 and Skyraider Zeus v1.3
Thundeshed is good and any Rom based off of it is too.

Do you think flashing that might fix the flash issue? I've never encountered this problem before on our phones so it's new to me.
I would definitely make a backup of what you have now, do a good/clean wipe and install a nandroid backup from a different ROM in which the flash was working to see if the flash will work for you again.
If not, the flash may have just given up on you. =\
Note: Clear data 3x, cache once, and dalvik once. (I always recommend clearing data at least 3x because data doesn't always clear within the first or even second time around)

Yep, tried doing super wipe then cache/dalvik... doesn't work on any of the ROMs I have tried. I guess the flash just went out on his phone. *sad pandas*
I guess he will just have to do for now until I can buy him a new phone. :crying:

Good news. I was able to put ICS (Liquid Desensed36) and applied the new combo radio someone developed.
Using the Wi-Fi w/ root from play store using generic ics/jb (wlan0), channel 2, password protected, with router fix was able to fix his Wi-Fi tether.
Also the ICS Liquid Desenesed36 fixed his Flash and flashlight! (Don't know how; I don't question it) :good::good::good::good::good:

Got a serious problem

I was using omega28 and things were fine and then I updated my phone to omega v29 after that I started getting"SIM card removed please restart" or when I restart I Have to airplane mode on and off. So I nandroid my first backup and still same problem then I Odin Ics firmware still I get same problem so what should I do plz help but I've been saving my efs backup I have those but how do I restore or will it work after restore.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Slow down. You should have made your nandroid backup before flashing v29. I would flash Omega again from scratch. Wipe (use Charmin ) and flash ROM and see if the problem persists
You should always do a nandroid before flashing a new ROM or even update. For reasons just like this. You can always delete backups as you make more

Those two statements are mutually exclusive. Are you getting the same problem still or not?
Additionally, have you carried out a full wipe before flashing new ROMs?

Okay so I been testing it for about an hour or two. GPS is fine. Data is fine. Everything is smooth. Volume rocker skip works with the different music apps I use. The samsumg keyboard doesnt have auto correct tho. I dont own anything blue tooth so maybe some other testers can confirm if it works but I dont see why it wouldnt. Also there was no boot anination. It might have been because I chose to install the Saber kernel. I will continue my testing throughout the day. Everything seems perfect so far

Okay so I had the increased system volume installed and the ringtones sounded horrible so I took it off. I tried the stock kernel n still no boot animation. One request would be if you can add the option to remove the AM/PM from the status bar.

Sleep of death on ICS 4.0.4 with Wake Lock on

I bought my s2, unlocked version, 1 month ago and a week later, it started shutting off when the screen was turned off or when I put it in my bag and moved around. I searched around and found it's called sleep of death. But none of the solutions worked. My phone is on ICS 4.0.4 and it is rooted. So far, I have tried 1. the clock app trick
2. disabling sumsung apps
3. load monitor app installed with wake lock on
It still goes into deep sleep only revivable by long press on power button. What is worse is that the battery drain, which was only one to two percent becomes a massive drop from 80 to 20 percent. It only happens when the phone is left unused for a while. No intereference with phone calls and messages yet. Service and such are also unreliable in myanmar. Anyone here has any suggestions? I'm at my wits end. Will a manual update to Jellybean solve this problem?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know if you want to stay "stock rooted", but my advice is to get as far away from 4.0.4 as possible.....
You have a number of options....
If you want to stay as close to stock as possible, get Moblie Odin pro from playstore and flash a firmware...either 4.0.3, or something newer than 4.0.4....
Or.....
Go the custom route....
Download cm9, cm10 or cm10.1 and a compatible kernel....Siyah, Dorimanx or Philz....all available on XDA, and use CWM (if it came with your root) to flash the kernel (first), do your required wipes (second) and flash your chosen cusROM and associated GApps (third). Just get away from 4.0.4.....fast. And for your phones wellbeing, just DON'T wipe data while you're on the 4.0.4 kernel....the brickbug may not have happened this time....but that's not a guarantee it won't happen next time......

Sent from the little guy
That's what I'm currently running....if you do get mobile odin pro (paid version) it will inject your root privileges into the stock firmware and perform a safe wipe as well.....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
Not to sound too ignorant (but I am an absolute novice), what happen to the old root? Will the phone become unrooted on upgrade? I don't mind rooting again. Just not too sure about it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
You will lose root when flashing a new stock ROM.
The only way to "keep" root is by flashing a pre-rooted ROM or by flashing via Mobile Odin Pro.
Sent from the little guy
Yeah....if/when you use M.O.P to flash the firmware, make sure that the "everroot" option is ticked and root will be kept.....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
Thanks. I thought rooting might somehow interfere with the upgrade. Silly me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Well, as I said, it'll "keep" root.
Both pre rooted ROM and M.O will root the new ROM while flashing it.
So yes, your guess was right, you'll always lose root when flashing a new ROM, these ways we mentioned gets you rooted again.

How did you get on with Stock JB and SOD? I'm using RootBox, and it seems that no matter what i try i still get an occasional SOD.
I am still doing fine with stock JB. Wish I could give you a better answer but I'm not very good with technologies myself. Hope you find a solution soon.
