| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | Paul | 12/12/07 14:46 | Hi drasco, Could you try rebooting your Nexus 4 in safe mode (instructions here) and let me know if the problem still happens? If it doesn't while in safe mode, that's a pretty good indicator that an app installed on your phone may be causing the pro |

| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | drasco | 12/12/07 20:38 | Thanks for replying Paul. So after rebooting in safe mode it was fine. So I rebooted normally and it worked fine for a few hours where I have both synced Bluetooth and Wi-Fi but then the problem started again. I am not sure what that means. |

| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | drasco | 12/12/08 19:46 | That sucks that your nexus set is acting weird. I can say that I had no issues with my Bluetooth. Just this annoying thing. I hope your issue gets resolved soon! |

| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | Paul | 12/12/10 10:22 | If you're in safe mode and things are fine, but then switch back out of safe mode and experience a problem, that's an indication that one of the apps you've installed on your phone is the cause of the problem. The next step is to remove apps from you |
| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | J Little | 12/12/10 12:02 | Thanks Paul, a reboot into Safe mode did fix the issue, but then after about an hour, the problem came back, and my wifi dropped off.

| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | SUTHRNFRIED | 12/12/12 15:58 | Same issue as the rest of you. Tap to turn on BT and it jumps to off immediately.

| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | Siddarth Arumugam | 12/12/13 22:47 | Hey, I'm having the same issue. Safe mode operation offers only a temporary fix before the problem starts surfacing again. Streaming over the mobile network seems unaffected. |
| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | drasco | 12/12/13 22:53 | if the problem doesn't persist in safe mode then 1 of your apps is causing the problem. the hard part is figuring out which one |
| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | Siddarth Arumugam | 12/12/13 22:56 | Were you able to find the app causing the issue? Did removing it completely resolve the problem? |

| Re: Just received my Nexus 4; bluetooth and wifi don't work togther | drasco | 12/12/18 11:56 | just to clarify, you do not have the problem in safe mode? if that is true then as I mentioned you have an incompatible app. Your android phone is fine, you just need to uninstall one app at a time to see which one rectifies the issue. |
