Why does my LG G4 Bluetooth shut off after a few seconds?

LG G4 Bluetooth shuts off after a few seconds

My LG G4 (H815, T-mobile) has suddenly started shutting off Bluetooth within 6-8 seconds of turning it on. I've tried power cycling, removing the battery, booting into Safe Mode, clearing the BT cache, clearing the entire cache partition, no joy.

It's running Android 5.1. I thought the phone came with 4.4 (I got it about 3 months ago), so maybe an OTA got pushed to the phone last week?

I really don't want to factory reset and hope that works. Any ideas short of that? Thanks.

Welcome.

It may be worth contacting LG Support about it.

I'm having this exact issue with my g4. I tried everything, but the only thing that fixed it was a factory reset. Unfortunately, out only worked for about4 days, then the problem returned. Did you ever find a solution?

Same here! Haven't been able to use bluetooth for a few weeks, so annoying.
