Bluetooth Headset not working with Samsung Galaxy S3

So, I don’t use a bluetooth but my dad uses it extensively. He has a Motorola bluetooth headset that was working fine but then it started to work on and off. Now it seems to not work at all. He can hear the person on the other side but they can’t hear him. I also tried a samsung bluetooth and same problem. Restarting the phone makes the bluetooth work for a day or so and then its back to the same problem. I even did a factory restore which fixed the problem for about a week. Now at this time the Motorola bluetooth is not working. I will be trying the samsung once again but I don’t expect it to work either. Funny thing is it works on my phone fine but I think it might be because it used to work on my dads phone so eventually it won’t work on mine either. :bummer:

Anyone know whats going? What could be the problem? I made sure all the settings were same on both our phones.

For now I restarted the phone and both headsets started working (motorola and samsung) but like I said it stops working after a day or two. No idea what is going on here.

Looking at your threads and niksik's threads I am feeling that Samsung galaxy S3 is not that good handset :D

Every computerized product has bugs. Don't you know about the maps blunder apple made?

Have you tried the setting gear wheel when u turn the bluetooth on your phone and the physical device. Both call and media should be clicked. Also, does he have any app that may be interfering with the settings?

Ninja, looking at mine and CDG’s threads, you should know that we are avid users of our phones and we like to fix our problems. :snooty:

Yes, once the bluetooth is paired there is a settings gear but there is only one option “call audio - use for phone audio” which is checked.

Another app that may be interfering crossed my mind too but he doesn’t really have many apps. :hehe: A bunch of Pakistani news channels apps.

Acha. Well see if it stops working again tomorrow then we’ll troubleshoot. Mine works great. I have a basic Jabra one. Tariq had a fancy one that he left in his suit coat pocket. The dry cleaners were kind enough to rescue it and put it in a small envelope attached to his suit. I tell him, hey you left your bluetooth, it’s in the envelope, your suit’s in your closet. The dude opens his closet, pulls the envelope off and trashes it. :hehe: So these days he’s using my Jabra, as I’m planning to get myself a better device. I need new headphones as well so I’m “looking.” :smiley: He on the other hand, is grounded from buying anymore blue"teeth". :smiley:

If the BT headset was in the envelope why did he throw it out?
If ur in the market try those stereo ones. Here’s a plantronics one at Amazon:

I have the Moto S9 and it works for the most part, but gets a bit un-comfy after a while. I’m going to get a softer connector between the 2 sides, like so:

I guess he was NOT thinking. That just goes on to tell you that he doesn’t listen to me. :frowning: He can come here and defend himself. :snooty:

Will check those links out Tofi.
