Cannot enable bluetooth on S4 w/ 4.4.2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Nothing seems to have triggered this as it was working fine for years. However now when I try to enable bluetooth, the button turns light green indicating that it's trying and a couple minutes later it turns back to off state. No error message is generated. I have rebooted several times and also booted into safemode with no change.
The phone is rooted and I downloaded logcat to try a track down the error. I could probably use some direction on what specifically I'm looking for to troubleshoot but I do see 2 items that stand out:
1) an attempt to open /etc/bluetooth/bt_vendor.conf fails
2) set_bluetooth_power: write(/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill10/state) failed: Operation not permitted (1) [happens twice]
Any ideas?

samsung galaxy s2 cyanogen mod 7.1.0 wifi problem

Hi I have problem with wifi connection on this phone the wifi worked on stock rom and then on cyanogen for a while and now it stopped completely (its just trying to connect but It won't get IP. I have tried to switch off security on my router and use different wifi connections nothing has worked
I'm trying to update my dad's phone and I'm having the same issue. It fails to connect after saying "Authenticating". I've double checked everything, still no dice.
I'm on CM7.1 too and my Wi-Fi is not working, but the story is slightly different, check my thread for more info

It seems linked to the fact that you may use multiple AP / have multiple AP profiles.
For instance, I have 2 wifi AP at home (private / public), and if I forget the public one (using it rarely), I don't have the stucked following message : "Authenticating" / "Obtaining IP address" / "Connecting"
Several users reported this, don't know if it will work for you.

Yeah, I was answering to the OP because I had a similar issue.
Yours seems more complex, I'm afraid I can't help much.

[Q] OTA Update 651.167.26.en.EU

Anyone had a problem updating to 651.167.26.en.EU??
I've tried to update (many times), the phone shuts down starts the install, gets about half way then reboots. When it does reboot I get a message saying the update failed. I've even done a factory reset (which I hated) but now joy. Grrrrr
Has anyone had this issue and have you manage to solve it??
Also does anyone know what location the phone saves the update to?
Perhaps you're lucky it failed because I am having the following problem after the update:
After updating wireless is stuck and won't either turn on or off.. in settingsmenu on the wlan activate button it just says "error" in the second line. on push it says "activating" for some time the drops back to error. So my question: Does anyone else have this an what can I do to correct this?
PS: Moto Support just says Factory reset but there is upfront no way I am doing this without having tried anything else..
You could always just root it and install a custom rom. My app will will root it in 1 click.

[Q] Phone auto shut-down for install, CWM aborts, endless loop

Hello,
My device is an HTC Inspire 4G running android 2.3.5 with cwm v5.8.1.5.
I just got my phone activate on straight talk wireless and within an hour of doing so, my phone alerted me there was an update to install, and needed to reboot.
The phone shuts off and then CWM pops up and tries to install the update, only to fail and give me a signature verification error, and an aborted install.
I figured no big deal, I'll just reboot and forget about it. Only now every time my phone boots up, it runs normally for a minute and then pops up the installation dialog and automatically shuts down, only to reboot into CWM for the install to abort again. Every time, without fail.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do about this. I can't find any information even remotely related to my problem. Maybe I just don't know the right string of keywords for the search. Anyway, any help will be immensely appreciated.
Update: I was able to recover an old image and at least make the phone useable again, but it's once again notified me that At&t has an update for me. I chose to postpone it this time, but I'm still at a loss as to how to handle this. I don't want to just keep clicking to postpone the update, but I can't allow it until I figure out why CWM is aborting the install.

[Q] [Stumper] After reset, phone stuck at initial setup; can't flash ROM as a fix

So, genius me got into stuff maybe I shouldn't have and now my p769 is not quite bricked... but is still quite useless. Perhaps the wonderful minds here can help me figure out how to make it useable again.
Starting at the beginning:
I downloaded the free SQLite editing apps from the play store and tried to edit the value of "data\data\com.android.providers.settings\database\settings.db" "tether_dun_required" and set it to 0, hoping to circumvent Tea Mobile's tether data limits.
The SQLite apps were not as user friendly as I had hoped; the first app seemed to give me an error when trying to set the value to 0; the next app seemed to indicate that the prior update command had worked (showing a 0 value); a third app seemed to indicate that the second app was mistaken and that the value was still "1". I finally downloaded a non-root enabled app, copied my settings.db app to a non-system folder, made the edit, and pasted the file back.
It is important to note that I was suspicious about why 2 other files from that same \database\ folder had seemingly disappeared but they were mysteriously disappeared, and there was not much I could do about it, so I continued on to test my wifi tethering.
The wifi tethering data limit bypass did not work, so I tried restarting my phone. The phone hanged at the T-Mobile splash screen (I was running stock V20f, rooted); the little dots on the original T-mobile splash screen were animated, but startup hanged at the splash screen.
I then did a hard reset (vol up + home + power button). This took an incredibly short amount of time (a few seconds) and then the phone restarted itself.
The phone boots into the LG/Android "Startup Wizard" and asks me to enter my google information, set up wifi, etc. I cannot set up anything because, for whatever reason, no keyboard will open. I choose "next" or "skip" to simply get to the point when the setup wizard says "Go to home screen". When I press "Go to home screen", the message comes up "You can return to this setup screen at anytime by launching the "setup" application from the application tray" and, when I press "OK", I see "Sorry! Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped". After I press OK, Startup Wizard app restarts again at the initial screen. It is an unending cycle. Even at that final screen before I press "Go to home screen", pressing "Sign in to Email" results in the same crash error message, pressing "Sign in to Facebook" results in "Warning Facebook app is not installed !! Don't test it" and "Set up voicemail" results in "Warning TMUS app is not installed !! Don't test it"
Home button does nothing, long pressing home button does nothing; back button does not exit the Startup wizard. I can't get into settings or any other app (except the browser if I press More Info when the Tmobile disclaimer comes up about anonymous diagnostic data). I don't have a custom recovery on the phone and I don't think I ever unlocked the bootloader. All I ever did was use cmahendra's offline fix to root.
I tried Cmahendra's offline kdz install again now but the phone won't be detected by the phone update software after 15%. I had this same issue when I first upgraded and rooted my phone months ago but then I could perform his workaround by starting the phone, and then setting the phone to reboot into Software Upgrade mode. Now I can't do that because I can't even pull down the notification bar in the Startup Wizard.
Can anyone point me to a way to get a reset to fully install a ROM? I will install custom ROM, Recovery, bootloader, whatever. It seems that everywhere I look for solutions to install a ROM, I need a custom recovery and to install those I need an unlocked bootloader and to install those I need to download files without any working links (many want me to visit mega.co.nz which results in a nice white cloud with an M in the middle and no download link).
I won't be able to troubleshoot this again until 6 or 7pm PST on 03/13/2014, but I am open to suggestions as to what is my best course.

I've actually just run into the same problem, only difference is I rooted my phone, then eventually uninstalled the system keyboard like a dumbass after I installed GO! Keyboard, on top of deleting the system home app after installing ADW launcher. Then last week I accidentally knocked into a can a beer while I was sleeping, soaked my phone and panicked, turning it on and resetting it (don't ask me why that was my first instinct...), then rice-bowling it for 5 or 6 days....Now it turns on, the screen is visibly waterlogged but still fine, however I'm stuck in that same exact infinite loop you speak of. The voice recognition obviously doesn't work either. And even if it did I'm betting the home app being gone it'd still go "Sorry! Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped".
All that is to say, I'd really love some input from anyone whose run into this problem like me and this guy^. I read somewhere on these forums that there's an 'emergency firmware recovery' tool in LG PC Suite, so i'm following up on that atm, but it doesn't seem promising because LG PC Suite won't detect my phone anymore
pls send help :silly:
Wow. WOW. After about two hours of searching these and other forums/pages I've solved the issue; I had to keep messing around but I actually skipped some of the steps listed and still got it done, I basically just booted the phone into s/w upgrade mode without the battery, then instralled the drivers for it's specific mode about two or three separate times (I attempted all the downloads I had just to be safe, and actually restard the computer or anything), then ran the lg mobile update tool. it took about 20min and after it was finished the phone just rebooted, and my home launcher, along with the voice recog was able to be used, however limited, didn't care really because I finally got past the f-ing "Sorry! Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped". As I type this I'm using voice recog to search for a keyboard apk file. Hope this helps.

Help - phone keeps crashing with cyanogenmod

I have the 20141207 nightly installed and my phone now will automatically crash when i unlock it. An error report will come up but I have less than a second to look at it before everything crashes and it goes back to the lock screen. I cant access any of my files or data to backup. I can only see the error message for a second but its a null pointer exception coming from android.telephony.smsmessage.getO... (i cant read the rest) then from android.provider.Telephony.$Sms$In... ( again cant see the rest). There has to be something I can do to at least get my data off of it. Restarting the phone does nothing. The phone worked perfectly fine before that and I just randomly unlocked it and it started this.
