Anyone else having intermittent Bluetooth problems on their SGH-T989? I'm still running 2.3.5 as the OTA update has never come. But I have a problem where a couple of times a week the phone won't connect to my Jeep. And trying to manually connect just gives errors. When I try to power cycle the BT radio the phone seems to get hung up. The only solution is to power cycle the phone which takes forever. Ideas?
I just got an SGS2 this week and have been having problems with the BT. Don't think it's hardware; I think it's the crummy software Samsung/T-Mobile have conspired to load it with. (Really starting to wish I'd gone with the Galaxy Nexus to avoid the crapware.) In my case, I finally got it to pair and for in-call audio to work, but the voice-dial button on my headset doesn't do anything. Makes the phone a non-starter to use while driving.
Earlier today I tried installing the 'Bluetooth Launch' app to see if that would fix the VAD-button problem, but it doesn't. It makes me think that Samsung/TMO have changed something from stock.
Be interested to know, if you decide to reflash with an aftermarket f/w, if that fixes any of the issues. I haven't gone there yet as I'm not 100% sure I'm going to keep the phone ... at this point I'm frustrated enough with it I may eat the $50 restock fee and get a Nexus. But we'll see.
