[Q] Bluetooh is dead...

[jrmusante]

Hello all, i wanna start this off by saying im afraid the only solution is a new phone. I've got an amazing rooted Evo lite with Carbon ROM is running flawlessly, well almost. Bluetooth hasn't worked for months for no matter how many wipes/rooms ever tried it doesn't recognize anything and nothing recognizes it. The weirdest thing is that it still turns on, (Ive had many roms before where neither Bluetooth or wifi would turn on but that isnt the case. I've contacted HTC they think it's the back cover, but I figured some genius on here has a better solution. If anyone has any ideas or information on what i should do or try please PLEASE let me know, I'm willing to try anything, Ill even take it surfing with the sharks if that will help. Btw ive already deleted the data for Bluetooth and stuff, i just need this emo to connect to my future sony smart watch!!

Try removing the back cover where the SD card goes and make sure the connectors are actually making contact

I had the same exact issue and no matter what I di I couldn't get it back to work, used viperRuu to get back to stock/s-on and even with stok kernel, unroofed, s-on the Bluetooth didn't work I've waisted 3days with sprint/htc tech support and I went to a spint corporate store and a private store owned by western talk and the tech checked the back cover and all the connectors, note that my evo has been on an otterbox defender case since I got it on "release" after customs release date, anyways, I got a replacement yesterday and I'm Dirty Racun S-off already, good luck!

Rubbing the back cover did something!

I violently pushed on the back plastic cover and Bluetooth actually picked up my Xperia tablet! But still said error communicating or some ****, but its a step in the right direction for sure. Contacted htc and they're sending me a replacement cover so hopefully that will fix everything. Thanks everyone for the quick response and help

Who did you contact at HTC? I am having the exact same issue. If I press hard on the back of the cover, I can get it to work.

I'm also having bluetooth issues.I've been told countless times it's because of an app, but I've wiped my phone twice and even with no apps I can't get bluetooth to connect reliably. However, if I boot it in safe mode I can get it to work about 50% of the time... I'm wondering if I need to try to get a replacement?
