Hello all,
Since I updated my phone to jelly bean (4.2.1) the bluetooth doesnt work very well in my car. SInce the upgrade, when i get into the car with the bluetooth on the phone turned on, the phone wont connect. if i try to turn the bluetooth off, the screen says "turning bluetooth off" but it never turns off. The screen just says that until i turn the phone off. (ive left it 'turning off' for days) once i turn the phone off and back on with the car running, the phone connects to the car just fine. Until i turn the car off, then i have to go through the process again. So in a day of running errands with the kids I might wind up getting in and out of the car 10 or 12 times, and having to reset the phone each time. this happens in both of my cars. other phones work just fine in both cars. my phone worked just fine in both cars while it was running Ice Cream Sandwich. Ive been hoping against hope that version 4.2.2 would come out for sprint phones and that it would fix the problem, but i surrender. None of the improvements of Jelly Bean mean anything to me and I miss being able to use the bluetooth in the car. Can someone please post step by step directions for how to put the Ice Cream Sandwich software back on the phone? Including which versions of what software i need to download? All of the tutorials Ive seen online seem to have multiple choices of things to download, all with the warning that downloading the wrong files will 'brick' the phone, but without very clear instructions about how to pick the correct files. The most detailed instructions Ive found talked about how to do it with a GSM galaxy nexus, but i dont think the sprint phone is GSM. Id love some help. thanks
