[Q] Bluetooth connection - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm new to this site so apologies if I'm in the wrong place or this has been raised before but I've googled with no joy..
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 uk unlocked.
For the last month or so m having problems with Bluetooth devices and loudspeaker (seems to be connected)
I can connect to bluetooth devices fine, beats wireless and vw car bluetooth.
It connects automatically and I can talk and hear fine, after a while the sounds drops and it goes echo like, I can't hear the other person at all but on the phone the green button Nader headset is still lit up and the connection is still made. I have to press the headset button to in light it/disconnect it and then re press to connect / light the button back up. I then can hear the person again but it does this continuously throughout the call. Listening to music via Bluetooth is fine and this problem doesnt arise.
When using loudspeaker it's the same, will go to phone (button lit) and I have to press it again twice to disconnect and reconnect.
Can't find out why this happens. I've done a factory reset and it allowed me a few days of it working fine but then goes back to normal.
Anyone else having this problem? I've read a lot about it disconnecting and having to repair but mine seems to stay connected but just drop the sound?
Cheers

Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970

Ok i just bought this headset and I must say it is really great and everything works.
it has in ear headphones it is really great the sound is great. all the buttons work so no problem.
what i liked about this headset was when someone calls you you see the caller on the screen so you know who calls you. it has a mic on the cord so you can talk with the headset. u can change songs and adjust the volume. the volume is not the phone volume but the headset volume.
First Connection:
I turned the headset on and it wanted to sync with a phone. On the hero i searched for bluetooth devices and found the headset, i Clicked on it. it connected without any problem.
Issues:
I only have one problem when i listen to music it lags sometimes. i don't know if it comes from the headset or from hero. I thought when the screen goes to standby the bleutooth doesn't work 100% to save battery but i'm not sure. If someone knows what the problem can be please let me know how to fix it. maybe its with most bluetooth headsets, if someone uses bluethoot headset without a music lag please let it know.
Battery Life:
I received my headset today so for now i can't tell much about the battery life. i used it today a little bit. the battery life today was great. i started using my phone at 8 Am the battery was fully charged. i made some calls total 15 minuts. i used 3g to surf the internet for 1 hour, i played some games it also total time of 1 hour, i connected the headset with the phone it was connected for 4 a 5 hours with 45 minuts music listening. the battery showed 15% at 3Am so i used my phone for 19 Hours and then it showd 15% battery life. i think that this is amazing. i will let you know when i tested it with full day connected with the headset but for now you have to do with this.

I have this same SE headset but it does not pair with my Hero (white unlocked) when I do a scan it wouldn't show up at all on the phone. I've tried the new update from Modaco, no joy.
The phone can see & pair with a regular headset (not stereo) and also with a couple of phones (iphone 3GS/SEw910).
Any ideas?
Thanks
When you wan't to connect the headset make sure that the headset shows the sync icon. it is the icon where the headset is shown and then sync icon and the phone icon. if this shows up you will be able to sync it with the phone. to get it in this state you have to hold the on/off switch till you see the sync icon.
I have the Brown HERO with modaco 2.0 rom. i didn't had any issue's with connecting

Yes! that did it, I just didn't had to do that before with my MDA Vario2. Thank you very much. By the way, I don't have any problems with the sound skipping or lagging which was present on the MDA but there was a fix/tweak for that.
One thing, there is no headset icon in the notification bar like when you plug in a wired headset, is this normal?
Yes i don't have the icon either. but the bluetooth shows conncted. if you change the volume on the phone you will see the headset and bluetooth icon.
i foud what was cousig the lag, the background proceses are the reason when you close everythin with taskkiller it will work. the lag comes when its checking mail or when i recieve a sms.
maybe overclocking will fix this issue but i dont want to do that (bad experiance).

I used to have stutter problems when connected to my car stereo via bluetooth.
It was caused by the wifi being on. Switching it off removed stutter.
My wireless is always off when i leave home, maybe the first day the wireless was one and then where there so many lags. but now when i'm listning there arent so many lags anymore.
Like i sayd it its happends if you run other processes. i hope this will be fixed in android 2.0
do you know how can i open this BT headset to change the battery??
Bluetooth Headset HBH DS970
I have had my bluetooth headset plugged in for hours and the red LED IS ON. It is my understanding that after fully charged the LED will go out. The LED Will not go out when I have it charging. I have attempted to pair the headset but when I hold the power on button the LED never flashes blue.....any ideas?

MW600 connection problems

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago, MW600 was working as expected. But at the moment, I've got connection problems. Is anyone experiencing anything similar, or do you have any tips?
I have tried restarting both the phone and the MW. The radio function works perfectly. I have tried renaming my phone.
Here's what I'm doing:
* Turn on MW
* Turn on bluetooth on phone
* Search for units -> pair the two units using code 0000 (starting from scratch, just in case)
* Phone states that MW is connected to phone and media sound
* If mediascape is playing, I hear ~1 second of media sound
* After 1-3 seconds, MW makes a sound (5 descending tones) -> the phone briefly states that MW is connected to media sound only -> the phone goes back to stating that the two units are paired (no connection)
What do you think?
Mine doesn't do that, so it's quite odd.. Do a full reset of the MW600 (manual here: turn off, press and hold down power until pairing indication appears, press power and call buttons simultaneously until headset turns off), delete it form the phone and try again. There's no reason for it to do that.
I found the battery life to be a bit short....10 minutes of streaming music and it shut off, all this after overnight charging.....I have repeat this 'issue' Friday night, Saturday and Sunday only to have MW600 dead at the office now
My runs 12-15 hours! Without any Problems.
Same, I can use mine for at least 4 days (about one and a half hours a day) before it needs recharging - are you using the right charger?

You press the buttons on the MW600 itself, not on the phone. Read the manual that I linked to, it's all in there.
hmm anyone else have problem with the ringtone playing thru the mw600? when the phone rings. i can hear it ring on the bt headset. but it's like play a bit.. then i hear a beep.. then it plays a bit more.. and beep it's like intermittent
The beep means, that the headset is changing from the mediamode to the telephonemode.
Update... The problem above came back. If seems related to using bluetooth and wifi simultaneously. Whenever I'm using BT and enable wifi, BT gets a lot of problems and usually shuts down. Does this happen to anyone else?
Also, in the past I could use the buttons on the headset to change songs etc. That doesn't work anymore, even after resetting the headset etc. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Update... Problem keeps coming back. My supplier suggested that BT and wifi might interfere. I'd be very surprised if a "smartphone" cannot play music over bluetooth and surf using wifi at the same time. My supplier promised to check it out and get back to me... That was ~2 weeks ago.
Is ANYONE else experiencing the same problem? Can you listen to music over BT, then enable wifi, connect to a network, and keep listening to music over BT?

I have wifi on 24h/day and most of the time i don't have any problems but sometime they get disconnected and i have to turn off/on BT and everything runs fine after.
I will have to try without wifi
Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (WiFi) both uses the same frequency space (~2.5 GHz)
Most of the times Bluetooth should be smart enough to adjust the frequency to co-exist with WiFi devices.
If your area are crowded with other Bluetooth devices and WiFi access-points, the Bluetooth set might having trouble settle on one quiet frequency, and might just sit there trying to switch frequency all the time, never finding a good frequency to settle on.
To help those poor Bluetooth devices along the way, try to change the WiFi access-points channels to create a free channel where the Bluetooth devices can settle on.
Also check if your WiFi access-points have a "Co-exist with Bluetooth" option, and enable it. It will however reduce the frequency-width and therefore the bandwidth slightly on the WiFi, but Bluetooth devices should work with less interruptions.
Connection problem with s60
Hello!
I have an MW600 as well - using with an s60 symbian nokia (6650 fold).
It works corectly when using in bt mode and listening music from the phone, but it alwways lost connection when turm the handsfree to radio. When listening radio, zthere is no connection, no way to get the calls or answer.
Do somebady have the same problem or somebody know how to solve it?
I did reset on mw600 and paired again, but i have the same problem.
รก
i haven't had any problems with my MW. i always stream music from my pc via wifi to my X10, then to my MW via BT, witch is connected to a Reciver for party.
have you tryed restarting your MW after pairing.
My problem with this headset is that it doesn't:
1) caller name not displayed on incoming calls
2) Music/Mp3 tags not displayed on lcd (using Poweramp)
3) why does the phones itself rings not the headset just some beeps. Embarrassing when phone rings and then answer on headset.
Resetted but not solved any problems.
Wildfire running Wildpuzzle 0.8 with kernel 4.1 overclocked
Ok I m using mw600 stereo bluetooth headset with CM 6.1.3 V4.4 rom for 2 days now. The pairing is easy but the issues that I am facing are;
* phone has crashed/rebooted couple of times while pairing/ unpairing.
* besides first fact, it pairs without any problems and very easily.
* I have used it with mixzing and doubletwist media players. In both cases the music lags and sometimes the lag/pause is about 2-3 seconds long.
* incoming call shows phone number only, no contact name.
* voice dialing works.
* when I m listening to music or not listening to music on incoming call the headset converts to phone mode fine but after the call is finished, the headset doesnt reverts back to media mode that is, the music doesn't plays again and I tried connecting and disconnecting again but only way to make it work again is restart the headset.
* battery is so far ok for the headset. Infact I runned out of my phone battery while I was trapped in underground and listening to music.lol
* even the headset is connected, if I play youtube video, the sound comes from the phone speaker. In order for it to come from headset I have to play some music from using my headset controls and then play the video and then pause the track. This also happens with music app aswell sometimes. Like the headset is connected and if I play the song using my phone, it will play through phone speaker and I have to pause it and play it using my headset controls in order to listen through my headset.
So far its oki but its annoying the laggy music thing. It only occours in music playback, I spoke to my mate on phone for couple of hours using this headset and both ends could listen loud and clear.
i also paired it with my inspiron duo tablet and its working flawlessly....so anyone have any work around of the above mentioned problems? anyone facing the same problems? is it because i am using custom ROM? i am ok with the headset not showing song tags and stuff but music being laggy is not acceptable...because thats what i bought it for!
Any help would be much appreciated?
thanks

Bluetooth (Handsfree) issues with I777

I am using a handsfree Bluetooth in my car. It is not a high-end device, but it certainly did what it was meant to do with my former Bold 9700. Voice quality is good, it is easy to use.
With my S2 i777 I seem to have issues with it.
If I activate 'Driving Mode', I could hear the Driving Mode On through the BT speaker. If I press the DIAL button on the BT, I could hear the What Would You Like To Do command through the speaker, but only once. If I try it again nothing will come out from the BT speaker.
I then turn Driving Mode off and back on, but it won't help. I TAP & SPEAK on the phone itself, hoping to hear it through the BT - doesn't work.
So I don't think there is anything 'wrong' with the BT itself because it worked perfectly fine with the Bold and it works with the S2 for a minute or two. So what could be wrong? Is it possible that the S2's BT work only with specific devices?
I'd try with a second device. The fly-by-night-company handsfree kit I bought at Frys gave me all sorts of problems, but the Jabra unit I have works well with everything. Bluetooth is a finicky technology, especially in regard to the different implementation between stacks, and BT has been amazing on my i777.

Then the gods are looking down on you - my S2's bluetooth connection to my Jabra Cruzer2 is one glaring weakness with this phone. My connection drops and reconnect at seemingly random times - this is with the phone in my shirt pocket and about two feet from the Jabra.
Update
I realized something today and I am 99% confident that there is nothing wrong with the Bluetooth.
The Voice Command 'wakes up' when I turn the BT on. When I hit the DIAL button on my BT, nothing happens. If I press any of the Voice Command buttons it works fine (that is - "who would you like to call", or "Who would you like to text", etc.), and I can hear it loud and clear through the BT. However, when I speak to the BT nothing happens.
Furthermore, if I shut down the BT completely and want to use the Voice Command through the phone, I double-tap the HOME button, the VC comes up and asks me what do I want to do, but it still does not respond when I speak.
So it looks like something is wrong with the phone or with the ROM or with the Voice Command or what have you, but it's not the BT.
Any idea?
No one has any idea why Voice Command won't work?

Strange bluetooth and car audio connection issue

I have the AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket and my phone used to auto-connect to my car via bluetooth without any problem, even after upgrading to ICS in early July. All of sudden since yesterday a problem has popped up: whenever I start the car, the car's control panel shows "bluetooth connection successful" or something similar, and then the car audio system switches into the talk mode as if the phone is in the mid of a phone call. Of course I am not in the middle of any phone call. So there is no audio heard (no radio, no cd playing, etc). I try to press the button on the car's panel to disconnect the call but it always returns to that talk mode. After some tests I find out that if I make any phone call, the call will be disconnected immediately and the status of my car's panel returns to normal. But next time when I start the car, the issue appears again until I make any phone call.
At the beginning I thought something was wrong with my car. Then I tried two other phones: one was iphone 3G, and the other was an old htc magic with android 2.2. Both of their bluetooth systems worked well with my car. So I believe it is something wrong with the Galaxy phone. However I am not sure what could be the problem exactly.
My phone is not rooted.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Maybe try GOING TO YOUR PHONE'S FORUMS this is not the skyrocket

No sound when receiving call

From time to time it just happens. I hear nothing from the other side while they hear me ok and turning the speaker mode on also doesn't help. Only restart could fix it. It's not something new that happened during the latest update - it was like that for a long time. Is this some known bug and is there a fix?
Thanks
got the same problem now. did you find any fix?
Hi, I'm having the same issues as well.
When i make or receive calls, i can't hear anything from the receiver, unless i plug in my earpiece.
Also, my screen goes completely black and does not respond even when i press the power button, nor when i connect it to the charger. Any workarounds for this?
