Help!
My HTC One X decided to play silly beggars a few weeks ago, and allegedly couldn't be repaired, so I was sent a new Samsung Galaxy S3 as a replacement. The phone itself is fantastic (better than the HTC in most areas), however it doesn't seem to like working well with my bluetooth hands free in the car.
I paired the phone with the car the day after I got the phone, and everything seemed fine - think I made one call and received one call without any issues. The following day, I tried to get the phone to work, but pressing the voice command button on the steering wheel drew no response. When I finally got parked, I un-paired then re-paired the phone with the car, and it seemed to work fine.
The day after that, someone called whilst I was in the car, the ring tone was coming through the car audio system, but there was nothing on the screen to say incoming call, and no option to answer or reject on the DIS. Again, when parked I un-paired and re-paired the phone again, and all was well.
On to yesterday, and I went to make a call, and again there was no response from the speech button on the steering wheel - yet at the bottom of the radio display it clearly showed the bluetooth symbol and the signal strength. I suspect that this is a phone issue rather than a car issue, but would appreciate any and all advice please guys, as I am now completely confused.
