Skyrocket Bluetooth Problems! HELP!

Zephyr1977 · 01-31-2012, 06:52 PM

After a couple weeks of trying different things, I have found what works for me. When I plan on using Bluetooth I turn it on and then set it to stay visible (no timeout) as someone mentioned previously. Following this method I am able to get in and out of my car multiple times and it reconnects each time without any problem. Then when I'm done with Bluetooth I just toggle it off again. This has seemed to fix my issues.

The issue with that is when you toggle off the BT, you have to go again and turn it on visibility from the BT main menu, but it is a workaround.

So it turns out my "fix" above stopped working a few days after I posted it. I was ready to return it then I tired one more thing. This time I've waited to see if it was a fix that worked consistently and it has (so far). I have disabled any kind of pass code or pattern lock and Bluetooth connects every time now without fail. When I need to put a pass lock on, I do it as needed. It's not ideal, but it seems that having a pass code lock enabled was causing the Bluetooth issue for me. I can even toggle Bluetooth on and off now and it still connects every time as long as the pass code lock is disabled. Keeping my Skyrocket now since that was the only thing I hated about this phone.

What I did was to remove the widget that turn on/off, wifi, BT, GPS, etc. I activate the BT from the notification swipe down finger gesture. i have no more issues so far. I have not have a passcode on the phone, so I do not know if I will encounter the same issue. Just my 2 cents

same problem here with my Canadian Galaxy S 2 which is the same as the American skyrocket.
I don't know how Samsung can deny there's a problem. none of the suggestions has worked for me...

Did you receive the newest update? I updated my Skyrocket last week and haven't had a problem with my bluetooth since. I was restarting my phone 1-2 times a day to get it to connect with my car and now it connects every time.
