Bluetooth disconnecting on Samsung Stratosphere?

Hello all!
I have a Samsung Stratosphere, and I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro + Bluetooth headset with it. I have been having trouble with the phone not connecting to the headset if it has been idle for a while, and I have even had the Bluetooth disconnect in the middle of a call. It will NOT re-establish the Bluetooth connection unless I totally restart the phone--something I obviously don't want to do in the middle of a call.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions for me?
I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks!
Steve

Hi SouthParkSteve,
I feel your pain; I use my phone all day and I depend on my Bluetooth headset for hours. I can just imagine the inconvenience of having to power off and on to reestablish connection constantly. I checked my resources and I learned that the Samsung Stratosphere is not listed as a fully compatible device for the Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and while most Bluetooth devices will have some connectivity for using the same Bluetooth technology, please note that connectivity is not guaranteed for device not listed as fully compatible. Please confirm this compatibility information at this LINK as the only Samsung mobile devices fully compatible with your headset on our network are the Omnia II & Continuum as per the Plantronics website.
To avoid compatibility issues in the future and be able to take full advantage of your devices' Bluetooth features going forward I recommend confirming compatibility of your devices before purchasing.

My car bluetooth disconnects when answering a call.

My car bluetooth disconnects when answering a call?

So does mine - but keeps the call going so then have to risk picking up the phone and putting it on speaker - although friends android phone works perfectly - i'm fed up - i have an iphone 5 and i would expect that with paying 600 for a phone and using it in a 40k car - there shouldn't be an issue, but no - my question is why weren't these things adressed before it was issued? - instead of being told ***** to be you but that's just the way it is. Is apple going to pay my fines $300 each for touching my phone while driving - aus law, and finally when i lose my licence because each fine is 3 points are they going to provide a chauffeur?. Apple need to remember before the iphone they were very small indeed, and only big in the graphic art industry. With Androids getting better and better there's now alternatives and the thing is i quit iphone, i quit the rest of the suite as well - ipads, itunes, apps, as well as mac books, and let's not forget ipods - which means i won't be updating any of those either. I'll rather buy Samsung tablet and an android phone and then i'll buy android apps, and update android. Apple need to remember customers vote with their feet, and IBM nearly went under because of it's own arrogance - could it be apple are going the same way?

Samsung Stratosphere extended battery

Verizon currently has the extended battery for the Stratosphere on sale at 50% off ($24.99 instead of $49.99) online and at local Verizon corporate stores (call the store before you go, though). There are informative discussions about it here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-stratosphere/145059-extended-battery.html and here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9064-standard-vs-extended-battery-updated-1262011-920-pm-cst/.
There are pros and cons to this battery. The biggest, pro, of course, would be longer battery life. It's a 3000 mAh battery, compared to the stock 1800 mAh. I only got mine today, and it came with about a 40% charge, so I can't comment on how long it lasts yet personally. The second of the two links above has some discussion on that.
The major con is that it is twice as thick as the stock battery, and of course heavier as well. This means that the stock battery cover will not fit, so Verizon throws in a new, customized back cover when you buy the extended battery. The whole phone thus becomes thicker, which then means that standard-size cases, holsters, dashboard mounts, desktop dock, etc., won't fit either (at least, that is the report that I've seen).
However, when I bought the battery at a Verizon store, I asked about cases (I don't use one now, but I might want to), and they did have one available that was made for the larger form factor with the extended battery. I wonder if maybe more will become available as more people buy the battery.
My findings so far: At this price, I think it's a great, great buy if your use of the phone is such that you need an extended-life battery. It definitely changes the feel of the phone. It adds some weight and bulk; but IMHO this wasn't a light phone to begin with. I think it fits my hand better with the extended battery, but of course that's going to vary from one person to another. I also think it makes the physical keyboard more solid and stable for typing, which is a definite improvement. Unless you're a riverboat gambler type, though, I'd recommend buying at a store rather than online, so you can get the feel of it before you put your money down.
I'll report on battery life experience after I charge it up tonight and use it over the next day or two. Has anyone else tried out this battery?

A follow-up report on battery life with the Samsung Stratosphere extended battery: I charged it to 100% as of about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. It is now 8:30 a.m. Friday, 58 hours later, and the charge stands at 12%, low enough to get warnings from the phone to charge it, which I'm going to do.
Obviously this includes two overnights when I was not using the phone at all. I don't do any game playing or very much music streaming (and no video streaming during this particular time period). OTOH, I do leave the Bluetooth and GPS turned on all the time, even overnight, just to avoid having to remember turning them on when I go out. I do spend a fair amount of time on Wikipedia and other Web browsing, a newspaper-reading app, and Google maps. The phone requested to go into power-saving mode when the battery reached 20% earlier this morning, but I declined that for the sake of the testing.
Of course everyone's phone use and experience will be different, but 58 hours to go from 100% to 12% seems pretty good to me.

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?
My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card. I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it. Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
If not, any suggestions on backup apps? I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...). Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
Thanks!
Rich

How can i transfer contacts from my iPhone5 (6.1.2) to Benz C200 via bluetooth, as soon as i hit receive contacts, bluetooth disconnects.

I am unable to transfer my contacts from my iphone5 to Benz c200.
as soon as i press receive contacts Bluetooth disconnects, I can see from my iphone under bluetooth.
is it possible to do? if yes how?

The bluetooth system must support the PBAP bluetooth profile. If it does, transfer is automatic when the connection is made. If it does not, you can not transfer them. Check the manual for the system to see if it supports PBAP. If it does not, contact your dealer to see if an update is available.

How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once?

How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once? I use AOL and when I delete the emails off of my computer, they do not delete from my phone. So I have hundreds of unwanted messages showing on my phone but I have not found an option to delete all messages, only individually. I would also like to be able to clear the messages from my phone without them deleting from my computer. This was super easy with my blackberry and I have not found anything similar on this phone.

When I go to the trash folder on my Stratosphere, I can check individual emails and then hit "Menu" and "Delete", but if I hit the "Menu" button before selecting any e-mails, then I see the "Delete all" button, but it's greyed out, so I cannot select it. There's also a "Restore All" button next to the "Delete all" button, and it's also greyed out. So, currently the only way I can delete the 100's of e-mails in my trash is to put a check mark next to each one, which is painful. Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution?

Why won't my Samsung Stratosphere Charge??

I've had a Samsung Stratosphere since late July of 2012. For the most part it hasn't given me any problems. However for the past 3 days the phone has had problems charging. Last night it finally died while I was sleeping, I tried to charge it again, but it wouldn't even stay on. I took out the battery for a few hours, put it back in and then charged it with the phone off. It charged all the way to 100% after 2 or 3 hours.I turned it on to see if there was any positive change and the battery went back to 50%. When I turned it off again for it to charge again it was noticeably less than 50%. Does anyone know how to help me with this problem?

i have experienced this on multiple android handsets that i have, and it is not limited to just the stratosphere. in my experience i've found that:
1) the charging usb cable was at fault, eventhough i was able to get a charging state and a usb connectivity state. i swapped it out from a cheap one i bought from fry's and my charging issues went away.
2) you can try discharging the battery all the way down until it depletes. you need a fully and completely discharged battery. ( keep powering it on until it can no longer power on after it discharges)
a) charge the battery with the phone off. I have found that a complete discharge of a battery has helped resolved my issues in the past.
b) *for rooted users only* reset battery stats through Clockwork, or use Battery Calibration via Google Play.

Samsung Stratosphere keyboard questions

People,
Is anyone familiar with the Samsung Stratosphere phone? This is my first Android smartphone and I've run into a few problems. Is there a "enter" key on the keyboard? one isn't marked and my phone came with the wrong users manual, plus Verizon doesn't have a users manual posted on any of their pages either. Also, is there a way to go forward, or undo the back button, from the keyboard? Will a stylus work on these Androids, fat fingers suck.
Browser, how do you bookmark a page on one of these? list of favorites? will these phones accept .pdf's or .docx files in through the data port? I hope there is probably a word.docx reader app somewhere? I cant find it. am having trouble with the Sims card as well, is there some set-up step or is there some procedure to unlock it, unblock it, activate it or something
To be able to use the Cloud player so many people offer, is that feature limited to the ability to use WiFi? I understand that the cloud service is an online storage for things like music and or movies, what else can be stored online? I can'f find allot of info about this Cloud service.
I would appreciate even a partial answer to only one question, if anyone feels like responding, but I assume "chat" will be manned come monday and that should answer my questions? I think! thanks again

Bluetooth disconnects randomly from Thunderbolt

Is anyone experiencing trouble keeping their bluetooth paired with the thunderbolt? My headset will disconnect without warning and with no cause- I have not moved or opened a new app.

After researching this issue I was unable to locate issues reported to Verizon Wireless regarding the bluetooth disconnecting. The issue may be with the actual bluetooth and not your handset. You can ensure your Bluetooth settings are correct using the directions below. If you continue to have issues, we can speak with you to trouble-shoot your equipment and bluetooth.
From the Home screen, select the applications tab (lower-left corner).
Select Settings.
Select Wireless & networks.
Select Bluetooth settings.
Select Bluetooth.
Bluetooth is enabled if a green check mark is present.

Can you set print from the samsung stratosphere mobil phone

Can you set up the mobil phone samsung stratospher to print to the hp officejet pro 8600?

Bettielittle118, Hope you are doing well and welcome to the HP forums.
Yes you shoud be able to print from the Samsung Stratosphere as long as is running Android
If what you want is to print from anywhere you must use HP ePrint go here to see how to start with this super free service.
This will give more control but it can be use only when the device and the printer are in the same network i.e. Home Network

CK-7W Bluetooth disconnect beep

Whenever I turn the ignition off and the bluetooth disconnects a load beep is heard through the car speakers. It's very annoying. Even worse it's really loud.
Why the designers thought I needed to be told that the phone had disconnected when the ignition was turned off I really don't know. Of course it has!
I don't suppose that there is any way of stopping this? Unlikely though it is.
I'm using an Autoleads telemute which obviously still operates even with the ignition off. Does anyone know of a telemute lead that only operates when the ignition on - if the speakers do not get switched to the kit then the beep will not be heard.

Aah! Might be telling porky pies there.
I've actually wired my CK-7W so that it is totally diconnected when ignition goes off. I've wired the red wire to switched ignition and left the blue disconnected. Only disadvantage is that you can't use it when the ignition is off but the advantage is it gets rebooted every time I turn on the ignition. I was having probs with making voice tag calls when the phone is connected to the cradle ie not Bluetooth. Had to disconnect it every couple of days to get it working. Thought it was a bad connection but this seems to work.
