S24 FE Bluetooth won't turn off - 6.1 bug?

[GiGiShrum]

Hello

My bluetooth has been giving me a lot of issues for about a week now. I know 6.1 has been buggy for a lot of people but presumed that all skipped me... it seems I was too hopeful. I've gone into all of the settings I'm aware of to make it stop but nothing sticks. As soon as I turn it off, whether on the Quick Settings or Advanced Settings or when I search all Settings, it gives me an error saying Settings has crashed and most times it turns my screen display off for a couple of seconds, and then shows lock screen. I've tried restarting, Safe Mode, clearing Settings cache. 

I have AdGuard as well as Anti Spy. I've scanned every which way I know how to make sure no malware is on my phone. I've only had it for a couple of months now. I dont understand what happened.

My phone needs to get a new update or security patch soon. It's making me stress.

Long press Bluetooth go to details, and then see photos for further information. I won't sync my Bluetooth as I have no other devices. I created my own routines when connecting to Bluetooth..

Also check ADMIN type in that word in your settings, you should see DEVICE ADMIN APPS / make sure if there are any, you inherently trust that app indubitibly as that may cause a lot of issues.

That's what I worked do to remedy the issue, maybe others have an idea.

Also in these settings you can check about the Bluetooth. Just noticed auracast... strange thanks for posting this as now I can look into what that is. 🙏

😂 Well I am glad you discovered something on this journey 😀 😊 I'm puzzled by how it happened but after looking into all you posted but still seeing it as "on" which was making me want to rage so I sar it down and walked away, and then when I came back to it a couple of hours later and just unlocked my screen & tapped bluetooth out of spite and suddenly it switched off and everything was smooth! I did not restart my phone. Idk what it was that made it cooperate, but I'm happy bc it was driving me crazy! 😂 I ran it all day yesterday and it's still good. So thank you.
