S3 Bluetooth Voice command via headset - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone having issues with giving a bluetooth command to the S3 via bluetooth? (Verizon)
I have a S4 BlueAnt car speaker and a Interphone F5 motorcycle headset (bluetooth) and both will not allow voice commands. (Voice dialing)
I can remove all security, and the voice prompt will come up, but won't hear me.
When I use the phone alone, no issues.
However both these bluetooth devices worked perfectly with my old HTC Thunderbolt.
I have heard of some kinda of "Samsung Bluetooth Bypass" is not allowed. Any info on this please?
Anyone have a fix other than going root!? I wanted to try to keep this one stock for now... but may have to root if I can't find a way.
Thanks

Yes! Ford Sync, which worked fine with Thunderbolt, Galaxy Nexus, and iPhone 4S, and cannot send bluetooth audio to my Verizon S3. This seems like such fundamental functionality that I think I must be doing something wrong. I like almost everything about the S3, but I am seriously missing hands-free voice commands in the car.

Hoping it gets addressed.
Verizon is aware, and says they can't do anything about it, all on Samsung.
They are my next call. Tried every app possible, not software (or downloadable software)

I have a US Cellular SIII and voice works fine from my plantronics bluetooth. Call (whoever), what time is it, take me home(nav to home). Thats all I've tried so far but works fine. No special software or settings. A little slow to respond but acceptable. Finally, I don't have to say the name I want to call exactly as in the contact. First name is fine if its the only one. I used to have to say "call (first name, last name, mobile)"

Since rooting no issues
Not that you want to hear this.
Since I have rooted and running
Synergy 1.7 no issues with running
mult bt devices so far. Only issues
is with my bose bt once in a while I
have to pair it again on the S3 if I was
using it with my I-touch prior.

It's a Verizon thing. Samsung just replied to my email and said it is at the specs wanted by Verizon.
Root here I come. What's the best, stable ROM out that is fairly close to stock? Suggestions?

Bluetooth disconnect after hangup

Have a weird problem and i think it can fixed by some registry.
the bluetooth will disconnect each time with my headsfree after hang up call. only either i press headsfree button to re-estabish or restart bluetooth to get it hook up again.
Does anyone has similar experience ?
Bluetooth disconnect
I've had this problem with my Sprint Touch Pro since I've had it...running stock ROM or Merdin's ROM. Very frustrating...using Motorola HF820 in the car and AT&T EP5632 (BT/Landline phone)...same thing.
I think there's a registry entry for bluetooth polling or something that can be set, but I've yet to find it. There was a post indicating that Diamond TF3D Config had a Bluetooth "tweak" that might solve the problem...but I get an error message when I run it.
JLPDA, Can you send me the tread that talk about this tweak, i wanna take a look see has anything we can do about.
Same problem: Touch Pro with Parrot MK6000 handsfree. I notice though that the phone reconnects after a minute or so. Previous Tytn did not have this problem.
Any news on this? I have the same problem with my Touch HD and Mk6000
Prehapes we have to generate alot of post to make people make attention to us .....

Maybe we should flood Parrot with requests for a fix... It should be easy for them.. my previous kit (MK3000) worked flawlessly...
just "copy and paste" from MK3000 parrot engineers!!!!
OTOH, my Jasjam (HTC Tytn) worked fine with my MK6000, while my current Touch Pro has this problem.
I was unable to find anything on the Parrot forums...
I wrote a message to the technical support page on Parrot's web site... let's see what happens...
Parrot's tech support told me that the HTC Touch HD is not currently suopported!!

Seems like nothing is supported on this POS. Out of six phones I have had the only ones that seemed to work with the MK6000 without problem was the Blackberry Storm which is the only good thing I have to say about that phone. It seems moronic that people should have to go through different phones to make their "Accessory" work. Parrot needs to get a clue. I know I'll be voting with my dollars elsware.
I can confirm, it will work as a stereo adaptor with the Touch Pro 2 but hangs up phone calls in the first second or two on the handsfree.
For Sale: One Parrot MK6000 stereo A2DP car kit, slightly used.
And I thought Bluetooth was supposed to be a standard...
I hate bluetooth!!!
What do you know... my parrot MK6000 now works just fine with my new HTC LEO...
Maybe it's because the LEO uses Broadcomm's bluetooth stack instead of the Microsoft's one... who knows...

I also have the AT&T EP5632 and this happens. Does not happen on my Plantronics or Motorola earpieces though.
At one point, I thought I was having better luck with a DaG barebones rom. I like TF3D too much though...

Bluetooth unreliable

I am really getting tired of my bluetooth headset not staying connected. Has anyone been able to figure out why both the Infuse and now my Skyrocket both lose their connection to my bluetooth headset during the day? It will connect to it (manually) no problem in the morning but after awhile it just loses the connection to my device? No ryhme or reason and the only way to get it back working again is to turn BT off/on again. Is the BT hardware in the phone just a piece of dog poo or what?

If you are using the same B/T device for both phones then I would be highly suspect of the device, not the phones. If it is fixed (not sure what folded means) then good...
Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but has anyone come up with a solution to this recently? I've been having similar problems recently. When I turn bluetooth on sometimes, it just hangs and doesn't turn on. I have to restart the phone. This has been happening more and more recently.
If it has something to do with the 2.3.6 update, is there a way to roll back to 2.3.5?
Wait, there was an update to 2.3.6? Did you get that OTA or is that from an alternate ROM? Mine is showing as up to date at 2.3.5 running stock.

I got it OTA about a month ago. Apparently AT&T pulled it, though.
Honestly, I see no difference between the two.
I have given up on Bluetooth with this phone! I actually went and bought a decent set of wired headphones incase I need to use them to talk handsfree.
On a more pleasant note (Lol) my new Galaxy Note is superb on my Jawbone and my car. Nice to use Bluetooth in the car again.
The skyrocket definitely has a Bluetooth issue. I had it before and after the 2.3.6 update.

BTW, where does one typically go to file a complaint? Would I go to AT&T or Samsung? They have probably heard of this issue already, but I figure one more person reminding them wouldn't hurt.

where did you get your note? How much and how does it work on ATT? Thanks,
I have a bluetooth issue too. Seems like bluetooth won't always 'start'. I have to reboot and then it will work for a while again.
Stock ROM, rooted.
Edit: I just read my post from weeks ago and I think I posted to the wrong thread. Sorry

Is everyone having bluetooth issues in an LTE area? I think the first time I noticed this problem was around the time LTE was turned on in LA... or after the 2.3.6 update. Since people w/o the update are having the problem.. maybe it's related to LTE?
I started a similar thread a while back, but the mods moved it to accessories: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342831
There are definitely BT issues with this phone. I returned two because of the BT failing completely. So far so good with the two I have now. Some BT devices work better with this phone, but some don't work at all; it's very picky about what devices it works with. I have the Motorola HX550 headset, it works pretty well with that. Mine does not work well with Blueant, Jawbone, Motorola H17s or HX1s. The Blueant and Jawbone headsets worked, but voice dialing sucked because volume on confirmations was too low to be heard.
It's not LTE related; we have no LTE where I live. It's also not 2.3.6 related.

Thanks for clarifying the LTE theory. Thought it was worth a shot.
When you say you have two devices, do you mean two Skyrockets? I'm thinking of visiting the store, too.
Yep, I have had 5 skyrockets. 3 returned and I have two functional SRs now.

Mine is the exact same. If I turn on bluetooth sometimes it just hangs and doesn't do anything at all. I have to reboot my phone to get my bluetooth to turn on.

[Q] Bluetooth commands HTC Desire HD plz help!

Hi everyone, I hope I am not wasting your time with this question but I have just gone out and bought a Q2 Blueant headset and I have a HTC desire HD, on the side of the box it says it works with android and the guy at the shop said it works great..........the thing is if I say phone commands it says this phone is not supported, I have installed Vlingo and it does not pick up on my voice unless i speak into the phone and it just does not want to use the headset even though in the box the headset comes with says to use Vlingo with it!!! I don't get it!!
I have made sure the voicedialer.apk works and it does but not through the headset either, is there something I am missing? its driving me up the wall!!
Cheers for any help everyone.
If anyone can help at all it would be awesome, the people at vlingo are just emailing me what info they have on their site even though I asked them not to do that.....probably why they are doing it and blueant still won't get back to me. Someone else has to have tried to use Bluetooth.....
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Have you downloaded the blueant app? I have the Q1 and the T1 and they both work without issue. Also are you on a custom rom?
Thanks for the reply,
Yeah I have tried 2 custom roms now android revolution and core droid, I just want the headset to do more than answer and decline calls, I want full hands free feature with this thing, I have already gotten a $350 fine for using my phone so I bought the q2 which says it does all this and then when I say phone commands into the headset it just says this phone is not supported, I have gone through all the settings I can think of and nothing!
If there is a Rom you know of that will work perfect then Ill install that, I don't care what rom I am using I just want to be able to do my work while driving and any email I send to blueant or vlingo gets me nowhere.
EDIT: Yeah I downloaded the blueant app, it has done nothing for me unfortunately

Not real sure to be honest. I use it only for phone calls. I don't even have it read texts as that can be trouble causing. One of the main issues that when the screen is locked nothing will work till it is unlocked. What you are wanting may not be possible at the present time. Ill test a few things out on my end and see what I can find. But no promises
Cheers mate,
Ill be interested to know if yours works.
I did just get this email from Vlingo also.
"Hello
Thank you for contacting Vlingo Customer Support.
Our most recent 3.5 patch seems to have corrupted Vlingo's Bluetooth compatibility. We are currently investigating this matter and work to reproduce the issue you have reported to us. I regret that I am unable to provide you with a concise solution to resolve this matter at this time. Nonetheless, please be aware that our QA engineers are aware of the problem and will be testing to identify the issue. We hope to resolve the problem in a timely manner. If we are able to repair the issue, we will deploy the fix in a future version release.
We appreciate you brining this issue to our attention and apologize that our recent 3.5 build has caused issues with Bluetooth. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best regards,"
But why my headset says my phone is not supported I still don't know.
One of the biggest issues I have found is the lock screen. Once locked it doesn't allow any commands untilled unlocked.
That wont bother me too much, when im in the car its connected to USB and it will be unlocked most of the time.

[Q] bluetooth 2.1 pairing issues

i have a headset that i want to pair with my Charge, but for some reason when i try to pair it, it keeps telling me that the device returned a code that was incorrect,
first off the headset has no method of input, and second the phone never asked for a code, ive searched everywhere and cant find answers just people with the same issue that just decide to give up and get a new headset.
the Issue was there since EE4 (the version my phone had when i purchased it at the VZ store)
I now have EP4 with tweakstock, tried it with stock rom and still same issue
I know that the 2.1 should automatically exchange the codes is there a way to manually put in the code to the charge?
the head set works fine on a flip phone my brother uses, and im not sure if this is specific to the droid charge, or if this is Android in general as i dont have any way to test it.
any suggestions other than "buy a new one" would be great
oh come on! anyone?
See if another, newer headset has the same problem. If it happens again, it's the phone's bluetooth. If it pairs successfully then it's just an incompatible headset.
Really, there's no other way of testing. Just because one headset works with one phone, doesn't mean it'll work with another, but this isn't a common problem since Bluetooth headsets are mostly universal.

[Q] People cant hear me when I am using iPhone headset !!

Hi All,
Coming from a solid iPhone background, this is the first time I have fully jumped on the Android ship.
So far, I have really enjoyed the large screen, the custom keyboard and how fast the device is.
However, I use my mobile for work related conference calls with a headset and since getting this phone people are ALWAYS telling me my voice has gone quiet:crying:
I have searched the internet and can see others have reported similar issues and even Google have acknowledged it:
**cant post links!**
My question is if this is related to CTIA vs OMTP headsets? ie maybe I need a CTIA headset and that will sort the mic issue?
Can anyone confirm which headset they have that works perfectly (ie people can hear them)?
thanks in advance
i have this issue too.
google, i know you see this(u the biggest xda digging) : you have lot of problems :'(

I often use the white earpods that Apple started giving with the iPhone 5 launch. I use it for long conference calls, have no issues with voice/sound through the headset whatsoever.
Maybe troubleshoot? Clearly if 2 people are having a problem, it's not your headsets, but perhaps try a new pair or see if it's different between cell phones and landlines?
I using earpods too. Mabye you Satisfied, so you dont have any issue. I looked out the internet and found more ppl having this issue.
