Updated overnight and now my bluetooth and wifi will not turn on. I have restarted many times, and nothing. 

I posted this earlier, and someone responded with some instructions to reboot in safe mode but now I cannot find my post. It seems as if it was deleted.

My Samsung Z Fold3 Bluetooth has not been turning on. I have done network reset, still not working. So times it will turn on and then turn itself off and will not turn on again. Please any help.

Hello, Welcome to the Community. We understand how frustrating it is when you are unable to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on your phone.

There are several steps we recommend attempting to get these features working again.

1. Test the phone in safe mode. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062983/

2. Clear the cache partition and repair apps in the recovery menu.

To get to recovery mode:
- Turn off phone
- Once off, hold down volume up and power buttons simultaneously
- When Samsung logo appears, release power button BUT KEEP HOLDING VOLUME UP until the recovery menu appears
- Use volume buttons to navigate down to clear cache (NOT CLEAR DATA/ FACTORY RESET)
- Use power button to select.
- Run the repair apps option and your device will restart.

3. Reset the network settings. Settings>General Settings>Reset>Reset Network Settings. This will remove all Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections, and you will need to reconnect to these services again.

4. If the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi will still not turn on, the next step would be a factory reset of the phone. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/

If the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will still not turn on after the reset, it is recommended to have the phone serviced. You can use the following link to find a list of service centers in he U.S. that can do the repair: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/ or by contacting customer support at 1-800-726-7864.
