Bluetooth Samsung Intensity III and Mac 10.8.4

I got the phone and the Mac to pair, but never got them to maintain a connection.  They both discover, but the Mac can't browse the phone.
I want to transfer my pictures from the phone to my Mac.
Any  ideas on how to do this successfully?
Thanks in advance for advice.

Some further info
In our testing without cluster migration we have noticed that volumes have been dropped.
When the Macs went to sleep (for about 15 minutes) - all the volumes were present.
When they were asleep for longer - some volumes dropped but not all ?

  • Samsung Intensity III – what do I think about this phone

    There is nothing good in the basic phones. If I don’t like touch screen and I have passed the flip phone era, then there are in fact only two (2) phones offered by the Verizon: LG Cosmos 2 and Samsung Intensity III.
    Are these phones any good? I don’t think so. The quality of these phones is not even close to the quality of basic phones that we had in the past.
    I am the owner of Samsung Intensity III. I “upgraded” my old Samsung Sway (4 years without any problems) to Samsung Intensity III, and I was experiencing any kind of issues – issues, which I never had with my four (4) previous phones (diff models). The time that I spent with VZW tech support and the store employees in three weeks was much greater than the time spent during the last 10 years. Yah!
    Since this is the third Samsung Intensity III in three weeks, I think that I could give honest opinion based on facts.
    I had to replace the phone twice for different reasons.
    With the first phone, I was experiencing very poor signal, drop calls and terrible sound.
    With the second phone, after first night in standby mode, the battery was almost discharged. The battery and the charger have been replaced. On the same day, I spent hours with VZW tech support to fix cracking voice and windy noise in the background. At the end I was told that it might be a problem with the phone and I should go to the store and replace the phone.
    The phone was replaced. The cracking voice and windy noise is gone but I still have a weak signal and I hear from the callers that sometimes my voice sound like I was distant from the phone.
    I had no problem with:
    1. Setting the alarm
    2. Setting the bluetooth
    3. Transferring the pictures and contacts from the phone to my PC
    This phone is very poorly designed with the following issues:
    1. The keys (on the front panel) are so small that is very difficult to touch one key without touching another.
    2. The orange color of the symbols on the keyboard made the symbols hard to read.
    3. VERY small pictures. According to the phone specification: “Display 2.4 inches”. I wonder how it was measured, when the actual width is less than 2" and height approx 2”. But to see the picture in this size, you must set the picture as wallpaper. Otherwise the size of the picture, in the ‘full view’ is only 1 1/2” x 11/8”.
    4. The back cover is made so cheap that I am afraid that I can break after a few openings.
    5. Poor signal (in comparison to my 4 previous phones that I used in the same location)
    Why ALL the basic phone models must be slim? I don’t might to have a phone 1” wider.
    There is no variety of choices on the design front. I think that most of the basic phone users could prefer to have a phone in the size of the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, just to have a bigger numbers and a bigger screen size.
    So far, it look like the Samsung Intensity III could be the worst cell phone I have owned.
    I just don’t understand the phone manufacturers. Why do they cease production of a good quality phone, only to replace by piece of crap?

    Junk.
    I picked up an Intensity III a couple weeks ago to replace a perfectly good LG Venus that Verizon doesn't want to support any longer. The Samsung appeared to successfully pair with all the Bluetooth devices I tried (3 different headsets (two from LG and one from Samsung) and one vehicle (2011 Hyundai Sonata)), but would not successfully connect with any of them. Samsung's technical support people said I should refer the problem to the Bluetooth device manufacturers, because it wasn't Samsung's responsibility to make their device work with any particular other device. I thought there were "standards" for things such as Bluetooth, to try and insure these types of problems don't happen. I thought it was likely there was something wrong with the particular handset I had and Verizon's technical support people tended to agree with me. But I didn't like Samsung's "blame someone else" attitude and so I exchanged the Intensity III for a somewhat identical feature-wise LG Cosmos 2 last week. So far, except for hanging each night when Backup Assistant runs, the Cosmos 2 is working well and according to those I've talked to and asked, sounding better.

  • How do I stop the "factoid add" from popping up on my Samsung Intensity III?

    I have a Samsung Intensity III and about every hour or so when I pick up my phone, I find that there is a "factoid" add as my lock screen.  It's supper annoying.  How can I go about disabling it?  Does it use data?

    1 Launch Daily Scoop: Media Center  > Browse & Download menu > Daily Scoop icon.
    2 In Daily Scoop: Menu > Options > Verizon Msgs > Off.
    3 In Daily Scoop: Menu > Options > Bonus Msgs > Off.

  • Bluetooth on Samsung Intensity III

    Can Samsung Intensity III connect to multiple bluetooth device?

        Hi Verizononly. I'm excitied that you're using the convenience of Bluetooth technology. I have a few different Bluetooth devices I connect to my phone too. You can certainly pair multiple Bluetooth accessories to your Intensity 3, they just can't all be used at the same time. We have a fantastic Bluetooth pairing guide at http://bit.ly/1b2rtGQ to help you with pairing any Bluetooth device to your Intensity 3 too.
    Thank you

  • Samsung Intensity III won't make calls

    My Samsung Intensity III is stuck in roaming mode and won't make calls.  Any suggestions?

    My home is zip code 97016.  The phone has worked fine for the year or so
    that I've had it until the last couple of weeks.  When I try to make a
    call from home, I get the "Welcome to Verizon, not able to complete the
    call as dialed" message  Then the recording says something like "4
    switch 6-6". It is an intermittent problem, but is upsetting to not be
    able to rely on the phone working.  This morning the phone is working,
    but I'm not confident that it will last.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Samsung intensity III

    6hrs with Verizon- in person on line, at store..still no one is able to transfer contact info, pix, etc to this new phone.."computer gluche'!! anyone else having this problem?/ now I'm still on hold with tech rep!1

    If the battery is good – the battery life is not short. You probably have a bad battery in your phone. I had this problem.
    Currently, I have the third Samsung Intensity III. First phone had a good battery, but had some other problems. Second phone had bad battery. After approx 8 hours on standby, the battery was almost discharged.
    I went to the store and they exchange the battery and the charger. The battery was holding okay, but the phone had terrible sound, so the phone was exchange two days later.
    In the third phone the battery is working fine.
    Ask VZW tech support to note your account about the battery problem and then go to the VZW store. They should replace the battery without a problem during 14 days from the date of purchase. Try the store even if these 14 days have passed.
    If this will not work, the factory warranty should help you.

  • Samsung tv LE32R86BD and mac mini: No Signal

    Hello dear mac users!
    Today i received my new mac mini (the new model) from the official Apple distributor here in Greece
    with all the adaptors needed to connect it to my Samsung LE32R86BD tv
    and that is a mini display port to HDMI adaptor and an HDMI 1,5m cable.
    Well, i unpacked the mac mini, pluged the cables in to my LE32R86BD tv which had the notification "check the cables" on screen for the HDMI source.
    Once i switched on the mac mini, with the familiar check sound, the notification on tv changed to "No signal" and remained that way.
    After a minute i heard a voice saying "English".
    So im guessing that mac mini boots fine but why no signal on HDMI?
    I tried the HDMI cable of my apple tv and still no signal!
    How can i solve this?

    There are at least a few possibilities for what went wrong. One thing could be that the adapter you have is defective. Unless it is confirmed to be working with another TV or monitor, there is no way to know.
    A second possibility is, when the mini first starts, it may output a low resolution that is compatible with most/all computer monitors but perhaps not with your TV. So it may that a computer monitor will have to be used at least for the initial set up and thereafter the TV can work as the monitor.
    Also, is the mini connected to HDMI2? The user manual for that TV says that only HDMI2 is compatible with computer connections.

  • How to transfer photos/music to Samsung Intensity III?

    Been trying to move photos I had on my Intensity II over to my new Intensity III. Seems to be more of a hassle than anything. I tried to go on my PIX place album and text them to myself as the VZW chat person told me. That didn't work. Only was acting like I got a picture message, but it was actually just a blank text coming thru.
    Tried to connect to the USB port on my computer and send them that way. Somehow I got one pic to show up. But when I access the phone thru the computer it will show more pics are on there. But I'm not seeing them on my phone. I even powered down and then back on to see if any change. And nothing.
    So far I tried to move 2 pics off my computer to the phone. Only one shows up. And it is there twice. Not sure how I accomplished that. Also moved a song over. But it isn't actually on my phone anywhere, but it shows up when I access phone thru computer. Songs I have are in MP3 format. But do not show up when I go to My Music on the phone.
    Very frustrated. maybe things aren't compatible in terms of music? Thinking I just won't bother anymore and just take new pics to have on my phone instead.

        I can understand your desire to keep your music and pictures, mws_1984. I have made so many memories over the years and many of those memories were captured with my wireless phone. The only way to truly transfer music and pics from basic phone to basic phone is via SD card. You can save the data on your old phone to the SD card. Once you reinsert the SD card in the new device your files should appear. Please let me know if this helps.

  • Share bluetooth headset between iPhone and Mac

    Just got a Sennheiser MM100 headset (love it).
    I'd like to use it with both my iPhone and Mac. But if I've paired it with both, I can't seem to control which device will use the headset for audio when I turn it on.
    In other words, I'd like to be able to turn on the headset in the presence of both the Mac and iPhone, and decide which device I want the headset paired with on the fly, without having to pair/unpair the device or deactivate bluetooth on one of the devices.
    Any way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Any way to do this?
    None that I'm aware of.

  • Will someone please help me with this Samsung Intensity III??

    I have had this Intensity III for 3 days now. I stay completely confused EVERY time I open the menu. Somehow I was in "Phone Settings" & accidentally chose "NAM Select". I don't have any idea what "NAM" even means!! When I tried to exit that place "Auto NAM Select". The only option was "OK", which made to phone automatically turn off showing "Reset". I am not sure what the original settings were, so I don't know if I even changed anything. Each "NAM" option have different choices. I am SO confused!!!    Any help would be SUPER appreciated!! Thanks, I hope to hear form someone!

  • "Automatic" messages on Samsung Intensity III

    Anyone have any knowledge on how to turn off the "automatic" messages on the Samsung Integrity III? I set these up when I got my phone and didn't realize what they would turn out to be. Now, they are an excuse to accidentally click on a button that will ring up a charge. These messages include things like today's weather, gas prices, today in business, etc. Thanks for any help!

    Ah... I think (I hope I figured it out. Instructions to turn "Daily Scoop" off are here:

  • How to connect by Bluetooth between iPhone, iPad and Mac

    How do I connect an iPhone, iPad and Mac by Bluetooth?

    There's a known Bluetooth issue with the latest version of iOS (8.0 up to the current 8.0.2), and it won't be solved (hopefully) until Apple releases iOS 8.1, sometime next week.
    I have the same problem as you, and many others do too. Just search the forum with the keywords "bluetooth" and "iOS 8", and you'll see...

  • Backup Assistant - Lost Samsung Intensity II and re-Activated LG enV2

    My son lost my Samsung Intensity II about a week ago. Before I activated my old LG enV2 I went online and ran the Backup Assistant on the Samsung. Since then, I have periodically received the following message on the LG:
    Backup Assistant has encountered an account configuration error. To reconnect this device to the service, please delete Backup Assistant from the phone and download it again from Get It Now, then install. Log into your account for more info - www.verizonwirelss.com/backupassistant.
    From scanning these forums, I understand that this phone is one that is no longer supported by Backup Assistant. So how do I get rid of the reminder messages coming from Verizon?
    Also, can I see the backup files on my PC so that I can manually enter my contacts into my old LG?

    I've now found where I can see the contacts online. However, I have a family plan and the Backup Assistant will only let me see the contacts on the primary phone. It does not allow me to see the contacts on my phone. How can I get it to show the contacts for my number?
    Finally found out that you MUST have a Verizon Wireless account for EACH phone to access you Backup Assistant Contacts. At least I can now see my contacts and can manually update them. TG this isn't a corporate phone with a ton of contacts!

  • Samsung Intensity III Backlight

    The screen backlight on my Intensity III goes off completely while receiving or making a call.  I can't check during the call how long the call is lasting, signal strength, or time of day etc.  When ending the call I have to press the red button twice - once to restore the backlight, and again to end the call.
    This is a terrible design flaw.  The one time you do need to see the screen is during a call.  Is there a fix or a way around it? 

        Thanks for sharing your issue taratot. I can see why checking your phone during the call would be necessary. Does the backlight go off completely right away? Try pressing your okay button while on the call. Does the screen light up? Try also changing your backlight settings by going to Settings & Tools, Display Settings, Backlight, Display, Duration. Extend the time.
    Let me know if this helps.
