Galaxy Tab freezes with bluetooth accessories [SOLUTION]

---

Just wanted to throw this out here in case anybody else runs into this problem. I just purchased a bt keyboard, worked fine for a few days, then suddenly my tab started to freeze, even after rebooting. System panel would show full cpu usage, and it took minutes to simply scroll, but the time and charging indicator worked in real time. After some searching I found some troubles the tab had with bluetooth devices. To the point, I found that after opening pandora for the first time since I had the keyboard that the bt media setting was enabled, turned that off, rebooted, and its been at least 5 hours and haven't had a problem since, usually only took a few minutes to freeze after powering up. As a side note, I'm sure other apps/settings may cause the same problem.

I use(d) bluetooth headset and my freezing problem was with any and all music players. I have Pandora installed, but is it only the setting in pandora that's the problem or all music players?

It could be any apps really. For me it was pandora, I'm using poweramp for my music and I know that has bt disabled. I would just check any media apps for bt settings.

I noticed that the 'Bluetooth' was the cause of my GT-P1000 freezing issues.
But I didn't know that some apss could also cause this!
I will try to uninstall Pandora and see if the BT issues has been resolved.
It's annoying coz I often turn the BT ON coz I used it as my primary phone number

So since you changed the BT setting in Pandora, have you had any freezing issue at all? My device started freezing like mad and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was. I first deleted unnecessary apps, no effect. Then I formatted the memory, followed by a factory reset when the format didn't work. The problem persisted! Two constants in the equation are the presence of Pandora (which I did not realize uad a BT setting) and my Apple Bluetooth keyboard. I finally put two and two together that it had to do with my keyboard, so now I'm a bit wary of even pairing it again lest I smash my Tab against the desk in a fit of freeze induced anger.

So I am interested to know if yoir correction of the Pandora setting seems to be a permanemt resolution.

Notice the typos above? That's because I'm not using my Bluetooth keyboard. Haha

Helps alot, thanks.

Yep. Pandora. As soon as got my new Jawbone ICON Hero bt earpiece I decided to try it with my media players. with XiaaLive it was fine. Audio was nice and clear. Starting and stopping the app was smooth. However, when I tried Pandora, audio was fine and starting the app was fine. But every time I tried quieting the app my US T-Mo Galaxy Tab would get super slow. Everything was going in slow motion. Folders would take 20 to 30 seconds to open. Even pressing the Power button took about 15 seconds to show the "Shut Down" screen.

After a reboot, everything was fine again. And I left it alone until the next day when I tried it again. And sure enough. Upon quitting the Pandora app everything got really really slow again.

So, using Pandora and a BT device seems to be the issue.
