"Unfortunately, Bluetooth Stopped Working" after 5.0 update

[the_unrepentant]

Hi all
Major problem with my S5 in the UK on the Three network. My phone worked fine on 4.4.2 and now it upgraded to 5.0 over the weekend, now my Bluetooth doesn't work at all and if i try and enable it, I get the message "Unfortunately, Bluetooth Stopped Working" and it switches off. I have tried rebooting but nothing. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rich

This is because Samsung wanted to get lollipop out the door for the owners of the S5. They did not test as much as they should have. If Samsung got rid of there stupid touchwiz and used stock Android they would have more time to test it because they would not have to make a whole new touchwiz every time a new Android version came out. If you wait a little while Samsung might fix the bug. If it's just to long to wait get a LG G3. I have not found one bug in LG's Android 5.0 Lollipop update.

I'm not sure how suggesting I buy a new phone is a the best solution! My S5 was absolutely fine before this ridiculous update so logic tells me if there is no fix for it, just roll back to 4.4.2 where everything was fine. This will be tomorrows task. I'm sure the LG G3 is a lovely phone but I like the S5. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It was my fault for agreeing to the update. I never used to update my iOS on iPhone until I was 100% sure it was ok. Its my bad.

Sometimes updates are not good. Like the first version of iOS 8.
