Hey guys my dads S4 is experiencing a weird Bluetooth error. So he got a new bike GPS (Edge 510) and went to connect it to his phone. He did everything right and then while searching for the device his phone says Bluetooth share has stopped (picture) and then Bluetooth turns on and off. I've turned both off and on and even cleared the Bluetooth cache and data. He also is able to connect my Galaxy Gear, his FitBit Force and 2 different cars with no problem. Here's where the weird part comes in.. my mom also has an S4 running 4.3 and she connects to the Edge with no problem. Same with my HTC One. So I really don't know where to turn from here. Any ideas?

I'm using jawbone prime. The earpiece working fine with other phones. So its not jawbone problem. While my phone works fine without connected bluetooth earpiece. File transfer through bluetooth also fine. Rom issue?

So guys, I lost my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 inside my house somewhere and I cannot find it. I know the GPS is on and the device is on with little battery. Is there any way I can find it? My Google account is on it so is there anyway I can find it with GPS? BTW, I do not have any texting apps on it. Any help? Thanks

You should call on police, and tell them, you have got a drags, they will give you hard revision!! And you will get your desired sgp!!
Have you turned on wifi before you lost?

You might be able to use a laptop with wifi signal strength anaylizer software to locate your device???

Use your router to locate him, there should be singals of all devices connected to the router, so, you can easily locate SGP5

You can't use GPS to find it considering the accuracy probably spans the entirety of your home. You may be able to locate it with wireless information from your router. I'd hurry though in the case that your battery drains quickly with WiFi always on.
Worst case, you'll come across it while cleaning or just retrace your steps to when you last had it.
Well guys, I found it using using the Plan B app from Lookout Security. It connected to my Google account and found where the location was in my house. Any suggestions on how I can be prepared next time? Like a backup GPS?

you can get a communicator like skype, parlingo etc. and if you lost again, you will be able to locate SGP with one call/massage to SGP.
you cant use GPS, coz accuracy of GPS is nearly of 15m-10m,
you can use also a spectrum analyser or a wifi device with monitor mode on, but the first cost ~600$, the second is hard to do, those two need to have wifi turned on SGP.
A couple of options:
You could install skype, or some other app that lets you receive calls, messages, or whatever over wi-fi. Configure the app with an audible alert when a call is received, and then just call your player when you lose it.
Configure the email client to play an alert sound when a new email is received, and email yourself when you need to find your phone
Download google voice and get a free phone number you can text from your computer or phone. Couple it with groove ip app and you have a free wi fi phone service. I use it all the time.
OK, Thanks Guys!

I know it's bad form to resurrect old threads, but I noticed an app on Google Play apparently made for this exact situation. it's called "Wheres My Droid" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alienmanfc6.wheresmyandroid)
install app androidlost....it is not using any memory because its using google account and app after first time doesnt need to be even started as any process normal or background...and then go to www.androidlost.com ..log with your google id and you can do what ever comes to your mind with device remotely.I find my phone and tablet with that 10 times by now or scare my friend who use it because you can even play police siren remotey on device.And this free app is also awsome for spying your girlfriend if she has android phone..mine have no idea that i read all here messages and now who calls here and who she calls..but for now she is good girl
Hey guys, (Did extensive search before posting this)
Whenever I get a MMS the messages show a download button but will not download. I have tried turning wifi on and off, turning mobile data on and off, rebooting, using stock app and Go SMS and nothing is working. I looked in APN settings but do not know if they are right or not.
The issue just started recently, I have had the phone about a week and they seemed to work at first.
Please help,
This is driving me crazy and is frankly unacceptable in 2012. I saw some threads about old Galaxys having this issue.
You have to be on mobile data without wifi for them to download.

Thanks for the reply, but I have tried turning wi fi off, which in turn reverts to mobile data and still no success. Could it be that I also use a micro cell? My carrier service is literally the worst possible at my house without the micro cell. This is quite unfortunate if so.
I think wifi has to be off when it is initially coming through and yes, a micro cell will do it. Is it a voice micro cell or data?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Its a voice micro cell, but it also transmits a 3G signal. Not sure of the speed since I always use wi fi.
This is boggling my mind. Are you telling me that it is not possible to recieve a freaking MMS message created in 1982 (sarcastic) on a 2012 LTE device if I am in a wifi network. WTH. That is crazy to me.
So are these images gone or do I need to turn off wifi and turn off the micro cell to download?
Thanks for your help btw.
So I disconnected wifi and disconnected my microcell and clicked download on Go SMS and nothing, error message. Pulled up the stock SMS app and clicked download and after a half minute or so the picture appears. The picture then also shows in Go SMS.
I guess the solution is no MMS while at home which is a bit frustrating coming from another device/platform where this problem would not occur.
Thanks again.
I have the international GS3 on AT&T. My phone automatically downloads MMS if only mobile data is on or both wifi & mobile data are on. I believe it is your microcell causing your disruption OP.
Sorry, my international S3 also only downloads MMS if only mobile data is on.. I have yet to see it auto download when Wi-Fi was on. I would say it could be the microcell in this case though.

It isn't just you. I had the same issue with my GSII. It would randomly appear and disappear. Have the person resend it.

Not true. I am on WiFi 90% of the time and I still get MMS

When mms comes in the WiFi should temporarily shut off and the radio picks up 3 or 4g in order to download it. U honestly won't notice any seperation. If u honestly can't receive them, check your apn settings
Sent from my vivow using Tapatalk 2
You are getting mms when you are away from your home/microcell, correct?
hmm, i just noticed that mine has been doing this lately too. MMS won't download unless I turn off wi-fi. I'm on t-mobile
So, I'm sitting in a hotel that has great free wifi (15mbps down/up, Marriott) and my GS3 isn't picking up the signal at all. My iPad, laptop, and my wife's iPhone are connected with full bars (or bends, what have you), but nada for my GS3 wonderphone. Any tips?
I've restarted it twice, toggled the switch, and scanned manually. Not sure what else to do. :banghead:

There is a known issue with Wifi. It is odd that it won't connect at all. I'd go get a replacement. There is also a thread regarding the issue.
Is there any kind of fix yet?

So I got ahold of a galaxy nexus and within ten minutes of signing into my google account using the setup app my WiFi drops on the nexus..i have seen this behavior before so I diddnt think too much of it...I still retain my ip address and connection but WiFi on the nexus just will not receive any packages the router dishes out...so I pick up my Amaze and it starts doing the same thing!!! I've had my amaze for about 4 months and I've never had this problem never...until I bought home the galaxy nexus...I have factory reset using 4ext and still the bug persists...I even changed Roms and still no fix...I'm in super sense now and the only way to recueve any wifi package us to turn off WiFi then turn it back on...but that only works for about ten minutes then its back to empty WiFi...but I still keep my connection and up address...I'm thinking the bug jumped from my gnexus to my router then to my amaze...I have a brother who has an iPhone connected and his Phone is fine...that let's me know its not my router...and help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated as I do not have a pc to restore ruu (relock bootloader) or another phone to connect to WiFi with...the battery in ny gnexys has been pulled and won't go back in any time soon...Anyone interested in buyingva galaxy nexus? 70$ lol clean Verizon ESN...
