I agree, I wouldn't hold my breath on Samsung releasing a fix for this. If my phone starts having the problem again I am going to go to T-Mobile and get a replacement.

Yeah, t-mobile told me it was going to be shipped next day air. They ended up shipping it the next week with ground shipping. It came from East Coast ups which is a 5 business day zone from where I am at. Ended up being almost 2 weeks total and they charged me a $20 "processing fee". The...

I don't know, I had the problem, got a replacement from T-Mobile, installed all updates, and it has been working fine ever since. I've been completely up to date for weeks. It may be a hardware problem that surfaces after a software update (for certain devices). I would think that if it was...

Perhaps you didn't buy your phone from a carrier, but with T-Mobile I went into the store and they ordered me a replacement phone. When the new one came, I put the defective one in the box and shipped it back. So, I was never without a phone.

I agree with you. My bluetooth problems surfaced after a few weeks of owning the phone. I tried all the suggestions in this thread. Even tried a factory reset. If a factory reset doesn't fix the problem, there is a very good chance that it is hardware. I have had my warranty replacement for a...

I had mine replaced under warranty because of the issue mentioned in this thread. I have been using the replacement since Sunday and the issue has been resolved. My only concern is that this issue did not pop up until maybe about 1 month of usage. Seems like a hardware component fails after...

I have had the Note 5 since launch day. Had a Moto 360 and LG G Watch R paired with it since the day I got it. Everything was fine for several weeks and then (what seemed like after an update), bluetooth went to pot. I've used these watches with so many phones without a single bluetooth issue...

I got mine on launch day through T-Mobile. They are handling the warranty exchange and I'll be getting my replacement tomorrow I believe.

I went to T-Mobile and explained what was going on. They were surprisingly cool about getting me a replacement. I guess it will be shipped to my house and should arrive by Tuesday. Fingers crossed this one doesn't have issues.

I contacted Samsung support about this issue. Of course, they wouldn't do anything until I tried a factory reset. They wouldn't even log a case for the issue so there is no record that I contacted them. Needless to say, I finally got around to doing a factory reset and of course, it did not...

Not showing for me

Unfortunately the note 5 doesn't have those options in the bluetooth pairing. The only options available are "Rename" and "Unpair".

This didn't work for me, but thanks for the help. At least now I know about Safe Mode. I had no idea that this existed in Android.

So, any instructions on how to do this? How do you start the phone in safe mode for starters?

I have had the Note 5 on T-Mobile since launch. This problem just started happening this week. Maybe after the latest update, but I can't be sure. Android Wear devices constantly show disconnected. Bluetooth headphones disconnect and have poor connection. Again, bluetooth was fine for the...
