Blue tooth problem after JB Update

Updated system this morning. Have been using a motorola elite flip blue tooth with the MOTOSPEAK APP. worked great before update. Now after udate when I use the hands free button on blue tooth it activates a google speak prompt by default. The google speak voice recognition is terrible and just calls the wrong contact without any suggested options. The MOTOSPEAK still works but is not hands free if i am driving. How do i get rid of the unfriendly, anoying google speak ??????

    Bobbydub, voice dial and Bluetooth are such useful features and I want to make sure they are working well for you. Please try disabling Google Search by going to Settings, Apps, select the All tab, Google Search, Disable. Let me know if this helps with your Bluetooth issue.

  • Multiple Samsung Stratosphere problems after FF1 update

    There have been multiple posts on various issues users have found after the recent Stratopshere FF1 update.  Some were replys to older posts and some only touched on a single issue.  I wanted to consolodate into one thread, and hopefully get teh attention of Verizon to maybe reply here.
    For reference, a lot has been discuss here --> https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/874446
    Summary:  Verizon and Samsung have finally updated the Stratosphere almost 1 year after release.  This updated the phone from Android 2.3.5 to Android 2.3.6.  Going by filename, this is known as the FF1 update.   This update went live at the end of August 2012, and most users were upgraded before mid September 2012.
    There were some noticable changes in this update:
    -Lock screen has changed.  The puzzle piece and glass lock options have been removed.  New options have been added, such as facial recognition unlock.
    -Call answering screen has changed, introducing the option to ignore call with a message.
    -Camera now has digital zoom ability.
    -Ability to uninstall the 2 games the phone comes with (Need for Speed and Lets Golf)
    -Phone icon has changed ever so slightly
    -Wifi icon now included up and down arrows to indicate data is being sent or recieved
    -Wallpaper no longer "stretches" over multiple screens - ie, it no longer scrolls as you move from screen to screen
    -The visual voicemail app has been improved (I have personally not used this feature)
    -Callback number is now supported in text / picture messages
    -Android core OS updated from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 (both versions are still Gingerbread)
    -Update to how the device deals with the end of scrolling.  It used to rubber-band bounce back, now it will just give a green bar and expand the bar as you scroll.  (I cannot fault Samsung for this change as this was at teh core of an Apple lawsuit and has been changed in newer versions of Android.)
    -(I am sure there are more.  please list any others you may have noticed)
    I have found some problems, and others have confirmed that this is (at least) somewhat widespread:
    -The biggest problem is with wifi connectivity.  Upon an initial connection to wifi, everything works great.  After somewhere between 15minutes and 2 hours, problems start happening.  Its as if the wifi keeps hanging or reconnecting.  Download speeds (tested with the SpeedTest.com app) slow to about one third of normal.  Apps like Facebook that require a constant connection will just time out.
    -It appears the signal strength for 3g and 4g connections is lower.  There are places where I used to get a 4g connection, and now I only get 3g.  Some palces I fall back to just 2g digital.
    Another minor issue i found was with text messages.  When you reply to a message, it no longer automatically focuses the text in the input box.  You have to first click into the box to start typing.  Not a huge deal, but one more step to take over and over.  Minor annoyence.
    At my house, I struggle to get a 3g or 4g signal.  I depend on wifi for my data connection.  So with the wifi connection problem introduced by teh FF1 update, my phone is somewhat useless to me now while at home.  Here are teh troubleshooting steps I have been through so far to attempt to fix the wifi problem:
    -Complete factory reset on my phone.  (did not help)
    -Pull battery and SIM card out of phone for 15 minutes.  (did not help)
    -Went to a Verizon store.  The guy at the store was helpful, and said he also had a Stratosphere and was getting the same wifi problems after the update.  He said all he could do was to send me out a replacement phone. I got the replacement phone, and it had the same problems.
    -I read in multiple palces that Android 2.3.6 has a bug within wifi and DHCP.  Apparently if you have a DHCP lease set to "forever", the phone will keep requesting a new address.  Setting the DHCP server on the router to something like 2 weeks, or using a static IP is supposed to solve this.  I have a NetGear N900 router, and I can not change teh DHCP lease time.  It appears, however, that my router is not sending out "forever" leases.  But just to make sure, I gave my phone a static IP.  (None of these steps made any difference).
    The only thing that temporarily fixes the problem is a reboot of the phone.  This will again give you anywhere from 15min to 2 hours of good wifi use before problems start happening.
    I have now had this update for over a week, and on 2 phones.  I still can't maintain a wifi connection for much longer than 15 minutes without problems starting up.
    I am asking Verizon or Samsung to at least confirm this issue if possible.  Maybe there are newer revs of the Stratopshere hardware that don't have this problem.  Or there is something unique about my (and apparently others) situation.  But it seems like Verizon's current stance is to offer a repalcement phone (as currently all Stratospheres are within their 1 year manufacture warranty as the phone has not been ouy for quite 1 year yet).
    I am asking for a workaround for this problem, or a true fix adressed by a new software update, or at least allow us to roll back to the original Andorid 2.3.5 software.
    I have had my original Stratosphere for almost a year with no wifi problems - then get the FF1 update and have had nothing but problems on 2 different phones.
    Thank you for your time.

    Thanks for starting a comprehensive thread on problems with this update. I want to add one more.
    I have Bluetooth in my car (a 2004 model), and previously the phone has connected to it practically instantly when I start the car. Since the update, I have never been able to connect the phone to the car by Bluetooth. Several times the phone has made a standard notification sound at the moment it should be connecting to Bluetooth, though no notification appears. I have no idea what that could mean.The car's Bluetooth shows up as paired in the list of devices in Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings. I haven't seen this widely reported as an update issue, but perhaps some others have experienced it too.
    UPDATE: I finally did some testing, and found that the notification was to signal the extremely brief appearance of a dialog indicating that the car's Bluetooth was requesting a connection. Accepting that request let the phone connect with the car, and calls went to the car's sound system as they should. When I turned the car off and back on (just the electrical system; not wasting any gas on this!), the connection was established immediately, so apparently the acceptance only had to be done once. Nevertheless, it did have to be done, and the dialog notification disappears within seconds. I believe it would have been possible to go into Bluetooth settings and accept the connection request there if I missed the notification; but not seeing the notification, I might not know to do this.
    One further observation: When I turned the phone's Bluetooth off and back on after a connection had been established, leaving the car on the whole time, the two did not reconnect. I believe that may be different from before the update, but I'm not really sure.

  • Please Read This To Reduce or Eliminate Problems after Software Update

    Hi all, I have been reading quite a handful of Mac users here reporting problems ranging from minor ones like slow downs to major ones like application crashes, and many of them blame the new OS and/or Security Updates.
    Without learning more from the details of how did they perform their Software Updates and Install, I am making a huge assumption that it maybe something they did or didn't do, one of the key things they did not do is Repair Disk Permission
    Below is what I called, the "ritual procedure" needed to perform before and after a Software Update, and also any other major software installation - to help reduce or eliminate "hiccups" afterwards, I cannot gaurantee that all macs all over the world will not suffer any problems after an update, but by doing so, you may help reduce it; I have 4 macs all together and so far I have not encounter any major problems after many versions updates.
    Anyway, I didn't come out with this series of procedures, I read it off somewhere in this Discussion quite a while ago, and thought I share it again with all of you:
    1.Before starting Software Update, unplug all external devices, FireWire, USB, hubs etc etc, not just turning them off but unplug the cables off your Mac, leave only your keyboard, mouse and internet connection on (unless you are using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or on wireless internet)
    2.Repair Disk Permission
    3.Restart the Mac, then start your SU, do not run any other apps.
    4.After finishing SU, restart your mac; If you are updating OS or Security Updates, Restart is required.
    5.Repair Disk Permission again
    6.Shutdown and re-plug in everything and start up your mac as normal.
    I know the procedure is pretty long and "troublesome", especially the unplugging and restarting part, but so far it really has done my macs good, so I am going to "swear" by it... my FireWire, USB devices etc still work as normal.
    This is really contrary to that "Macs are easy to use", yes, no doubt about it, but the software updates etc is just well, put it this way: The Mac OS when it comes to updates, is very very delicate... so handle with it great care, it will just turn out okay.
    Cheers

    Thank you for posting that. I posted a similar set of suggestions here:

  • Loss of Blue tooth function after upgrade to 10.6

    I have a MacBook Pro... I also have a Motorola Droid that was working perfectly with blue tooth when I was using OS 10.5 etc... I was able to "Browse" my phone, Transfer files, it worked like a dream. After upgrading my OS to Snow Leopard... I am unable to transfer files or do any thing of any value using the blue tooth connection on my computer. When I attempt to "Browse" the phone I get the message "The Device does not have the necessary services" I have searched the forums for help with this issue... I'm seeing a lot of "your phone doesn't have that capability" or "your provider has disabled that to make you pay more" or worse yet... I've seen things like "blue tooth isn't made for file transfer it's only for headsets and headphones.
    Admittedly most of the people posting these questions had never been able to browse or transfer files before and were just now trying to make this work. I on the other hand had been able to use all these services. Which is why I am not considering my phone as the source of the problem at this time.
    Nothing has changed on my phone "no updates in software" and the only change that was made is going from Leopard to Snow Leopard. This is leading me to the conclusion that there is something I'm not seeing in 10.6.x that has caused an issue with my blue tooth functionality... I have gone in to system preferences, in to file sharing and enabled sharing in bluetooth... I have also tried to delete the Bluetooth plist file as was suggested in other discussion forums.
    This has not changed any thing I still get the same error when trying to transfer files or browse. If any one else has any advice on something I could try to return my bluetooth function to Pre10.6 that would be most helpful... I'm aware of work arounds "Emailing my self,,, etc." I'd prefer to have my bluetooth back.
    Sorry if this post sounds harsh or snippy... I'm getting very frustrated.

    Is it smarter economically to repair replace the board, or use the computer as it is and purchase a replacement?
    This depends on your usage. If you find performance with 1GB to be satisfactory (maybe not optimal, but satisfactory), just keep using it as is. A new logic board (which will likely be used or refurbished depending on the source) is $400-$800 plus installation. I don't know what company's charge to repair the logic board.
    If you decide to go with a new system, you can sell your current system to offset the cost. Or just keep it as backup/extra/computer, or give it to a family member who can use it. If I were going to give it to a family member, I'd reinstall Tiger, as it probably will work a little better in 1GB than Leopard.

  • Bluetooth Problems after IOS7 Update (on screen album art gone)

    Before updateing my Iphone with IOS7 my bluetooth connection in my 2013 Toyota Tacoma was flawless. Now after the update i am having problems and would like to see if someone has any suggestions for me to clear this up.
    Before the update i would get my album art or general art from where i was or what i was listening to on my head unit in my truck. ie: if i was listening to a song... the album it was on would appear on my screen... or if i was listneing to sirius via my phone and bluetooth... i would get the sirius logo or channel logo on the screen just to the left of the song or channel details.
    now after the update all i am getting in the small box is the blue tooth logo... that is it... what happened?
    i have tried the unpairing and the repairing... but nothing workes... can anyone help me?
    Thanks!
    James

    I finally had to restore iOS 8 on my iPhone, and then I restored from my backup.  Everything is fixed now.  All music synced without issue, and iTunes even seemed more stable while syncing. I guess iOS 8 didn't install correctly the first time.
    My iPhone seems to be running better now too.
    I'd recommend reinstalling iOS 8, if you're having trouble.  It fixed all of my problems, hopefully it can fix yours too.

  • Weird color profile problem after SMC update

    Although I've managed to resolve this particular problem, I wonder if anyone has suffered the same thing.
    Software update says that I should do the firmware update, so I did that yesterday night. Also, at the same time, I went and removed MS Office 2004 Test Drive (it was taking up space for no good reason). Sometime after doing those things, it seems like OSX had lost the display color profile. The only ones I've got was the Adobe one, Generic RGB and sRGB. The generic RGB washes the screen with a blue tone, and clicking on Calibration would merely have the ColorSync utility complain about the profile isn't there.
    Looking at the knowledge base, it says that after the 10.4.8 upgrade, the screen may look bluer than before. The curious thing was that my Macbook reported it running on 10.4.8 when I first got it. But anyways I downloaded 10.4.7's LCD profile, and put it at the location specified in that knowledge base. Display preference still didn't pick up on the profile, so I end up restarting the machine, and now it seems to be using a profile called "Color LCD".
    I'm wondering if anyone else have experienced something like this, and going to document this here as a possible solution if someone is lost after a random deletion of a color profile....
    Macbook 13"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I had something similar happen when I upgraded to 10.4.8. In fixing the blue tint problem, I loaded a backup copy of the Color LCD profile. Subsequently, under exact circumstances I don't remember, the machine "lost" the profile. And the calibration option would just give an error.
    So somehow, after further fiddling, I ended up with two copies of Color LCD profile, one the old 10.4.7 one, one the 10.4.8 one. I haven't had the problem of it losing the profile again.
    But I might mention that there is a related problem which you may encounter. If I use fast user switching with another account and return to my (admin) account, the blue tint returns. The workaround is as described in this article:
    http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2006/02/fuscolor/index.php
    I have created an alias to the DMProxy application as described in the above article, and have to run it after every time I use fast user switching.

  • P67A-gd65 boot problem after BIOS update

    I'm not optimistic about this, but...
    My P67A-GD65 was delivered with BIOS 1.5. (However, the stickers on both chips read 1.4.) I updated the BIOS to 1.7 using a DOS formatted USB flash drive. (The EM was updated as well.) Things seemed to be running OK.
    I foolishly experimented with the 1.8A beta BIOS. I flashed from DOS again. After rebooting, I went into the settings to reconfigure the machine as it had been. The EFI screen hung, so I powered the machine down (from the button, not the PSU).
    I've been unable to boot since. No display appears on the monitor. If it is powered down, the power comes back on for an instant, goes off again, and comes up again with nothing on the display. The USB keyboard and mouse never become active, as far as I can tell. I tried a PS/2 keyboard; no difference.
    If this board has dual BIOS indicator LEDs, neither illuminates, which indicates that all is serene.
    I have cleared the CMOS several times, using the jumper or the button at the rear I/O panel.
    Any advice? Is there any way to force the use of the second BIOS? (I've read the MSI dual BIOS FAQ posted elsewhere, but didn't spot anything of use.)
    RMA time?

    Hi,
    The blue screens started after a clean Bios flash to the 18b10 bios then eventually it stopped working complety (just doing the start up cycle over and over)
     I had tried reseting cmos and it doesnt make a difference, the motherboard will not post , boot , start up at all so default settings cant be set (although reseting cmos would set to default anyway)
     Each time the board goes through the start up cycle (i.e. upon pressing start button the board will start up with fans spinning for a second then shut down, start up again with fans spinning for a second then shut down, continuasly repeating until main power is removed) I have used a multimeter to measure the voltage read points on the board and they show that there is no vcore being suplied to the cpu but all other points show the voltage is being supplied to those componants, so imo that is where the problem lies and I would sugest that the other ppl who are having this issue to also try  measuring the voltage read points and see if the same thing is happening on thier boards .
     If others are getting the same results (no vcore) then the msi techs should be informed of this issue..(imo)
    1.8b10 still is a beta bios. I got random bluescreens with that one also at some point a blinking bios led. So I flashed back from secondary bios (using the first option (change disable in enable)in "security" in the EFI shell to allow flashing from secondary bios), blinking bios led now stopped, Then I flashed with 1.7, no issues sofar cpu now running stable at 4.5Ghz (already 2 days).

  • Start up problems after security update 2014-002

    Hi, after this update sometimes my Mac does not start up like it should: the Dock is not appearing and the screen is flashing between fully grey and thenormal background.  The only cure seems to be to restant a second or third time. Already resetten PRAM, used disk utility (no problems) and repaired permissions. Does anyone else has encountered this problem? Thanks

    I have always had good luck with DiskWarrior. I've had serious issues and DiskWarrior has always come thru .
    Are you nervous because you have never used DW before, or are you afraid it will hose your system?
    By your report, it kinda sounds as if your hard drive has either failed or on it's last leg.
    I'm guessing you had issues with the drive before installing the update and you did not know it. Updates tend to point out problems in a big way sometimes.
    I run repairs on my hard drive before installing any updates.
    I don't remember, does Jaguar have S.M.A.R.T. status in Disk utility? If so, what does it say about your drive?

  • Problems after Airport Update

    I own a 2ghz/2gb MBP running 10.4.7. After I installed the latest Airport Update 001, my computer has been acting up. The MBP now has major issues connecting to my graphite airport, though my eMac (10.3.9 w/latest security update) does not have any issues. The graphite airport has WEP enabled, but the MBP refuses to keep the password in the keychain. Everytime I try to connect to my network (upon wake up or start up) I receive an error stating that there is a problem joining the network. After about 10 seconds, though, it connects. Also, it doesn't recognize that the airport is one of my "trusted networks." Before connecting it says, "none of your trusted networks could be found, would you like to join (my network name)."
    What I have done so far:
    Repaired permissions.
    Created a new user (has same problems).
    Shutdown and restarted all of my computers/router/modem at least 5 times.
    Put the WEP password in the keychain manually.
    Changed the Airport's channel a few times as well.
    MacBook Pro 15", Powerbook 12" G4, eMac G4 & iMac G3   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    After countless nightmares trying to connect to my home network, and one kernel panic, I zapped the update with AppZapper. No problems after that.
    Apple, I'm sorry ,but I think you got this latest SU wrong!

  • New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

    Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Netscape cursor/text problem after Software Updates

    A friend of mine recently ran Software Update (3) updates and ended up with a reasonably serious issue with Netscape which he uses for e-mail. Here's his description...
    "I did a routine Apple update the other day:
    Mac OS X Update (Power PC) 10.4.6
    QuickTime 7.1.1
    J2SE 5.) Release 4 4.0
    Since restarting after that update, the screen display of text in my
    Netscape email program has been damaged. Trying it a second time with
    the update combo did not help.
    The main complaint is that I cannot see the current or previous
    characters being typed, nor the cursor itself, nor the end of the line
    after an automatic return. Ends of lines are replicated for some reason,
    cluttering up the typing window.
    A couple of indications of how screwed up it looks: notice the font
    gibberish below the text, every touch of the return key yields an
    apostrophe, and then there's the other clutter that appears below and
    around the signature.
    When I do spellcheck, some (but not all) of the stuff disappears.
    The spellcheck itself doesn't catch many errors anymore. .
    All the best,
    ph"
    Here's a screenshot of the issue...

    Does anyone have any guesses what might be wrong? I had him run the 10.4.6 Combo Updater as occasionally the combo fixes issues with Software Update versions. It made no difference. Unfortunately, even though I've preached having an external backup prior to any system upgrade, he has not yet done so. His computer is the 17" Flat Panel iMac 800 mhz.
    Thanks!

    Did your friend check his hard drive for any directory problems with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from the Tiger install disc before installing the 10.4.6 Update and other updates and were all running applications quit before the install - namely Netscape?
    As a first step, I suggest Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided including using a system and user cache cleaning utility.
