Downloading phone book problem after "Jelly Bean" update

I own a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT with Bluetooth (labeled as Link System) and a Motorola Droid RAZR. The vehicle has always recognized the phone as paired. Prior to "Jelly Bean", I had no problems downloading the entire phone book to the Bluetooth device in the vehicle. However, I had noticed on a recent trip that several new contacts were not recognized by the Link system. I realized that I needed to update the phonebook. I first deleted the old phone book from the vehicle, but I was then unable to download the new phone book to the vehicle. I tried several times but with no success. An additional Bluetooth symbol would appear to the left at the top of the phone display with the message "PBap connection request". The message would disappear after a second. But several seconds later, the upper left-hand Bluetooth symbol would also disappear, and the vehicle Bluetooth device would then inform me that the phone book download had failed. I contacted Verizon tech support last week, and the rep and I concluded that the Jelly Bean update was the problem, but she was unable to fix it. I also noticed elsewhere on the Verizon web site that several other people with different vehicles were also unable to download the phonebook from their Android phone to their vehicle's Bluetooth device.
I then realized that perhaps the Jelly Bean update had changed only how the Bluetooth on the phone interacted with the Bluetooth/Link system on the vehicle. I concluded that I needed to delete not just the old phone book from the vehicle's Bluetooth device, but also the pairing/recognition of the phone itself from the vehicle's Bluetooth device. I then reinstalled pairing/recognition of the Droid RAZR on the vehicle's Bluetooth device, and successfully downloaded the phone book from the RAZR to the Bluetooth device on the vehicle. This action should fix the problem on other vehicles as well.

    Jandariea, I understand how frustrating this could be. You would think a software update would be fully baked and basic functions like Wifi would work. However, this is not the case with all Jelly Bean software updates. You sound more like the exception then the rule! Have you tried to disable/enable airplane mode? Does this issue only happen with your home wifi, or can you connect to a public Wifi (i.e. library or Starbucks)? Have you tried to do a master reset on the phone http://bit.ly/T1Ib1B ?^SP

  • Xperia J- Problem in touch after Jelly Bean Update

    Hello Friends,
    I am facing a serious problem in Xperia J after the Jelly Bean Update.
    1) The touch functionality is not working, ie, I am not able to tap the icons to open an app
    2) The back/ home button does not respond to touch
    The next point is very interesting:
    3) The touch automatically happens, ie, when  I just unlock the screen by sliding the unlock button, then automatically the apps get selected, closes by itself, ofens the inner pages which I cant even control.
    Please help by atleast advising me on how to down grade the softwareback  to ICS.
    Thanks in advance,
    ~Viswanath

    It would be worthwhile running a repair:
    To repair the phone software
    1.     Install PC Companion on a Windows PC from Support
    2.     Turn on the phone, and connect it to the PC using a USB cable.
    3.     In PC Companion, under Support Zone and click Start.
    4.     Under Phone Software Update, click Start.
    5.     Click repair phone.
    6.     Follow the on-screen instructions.

  • Terrible reception after Jelly Bean update

    The morning after upgrading to Jelly Bean my phone suddenly began having terrible reception issues.  At home I normally get about 2-3 bars but I have never had any issues getting calls out or in or texting... Now I get one bar and absolutely cannot call out or text out AT ALL...  I can receive texts, but I get no calls.  Sometimes it will say that I have no service, even when I have one or two bars...
    Even when I drive closer to town I can't call out until I get 4 or 5 bars...  even then reception is poor and calls are dropped for no reason.  Literally this phone has gone from working beautifully to being absolutely worthless as a phone.  Wireless still works fine at home and I still get 3G/4G service...  It also always says I'm Roaming at home or if I have less than 3 bars...
    I have tried *228 and even reset the phone to factory defaults with a full wipe.  No beuno...  Obviously I've tried numerous reboots as well...
    I'm not sure if the Jelly Bean update is a coincedence, but something is definitely up with my phone...
    Suggestions?

        Javaslinger, I'm sad to see that you've developed signal issues on your phone after the software update. Updates should bring enhancements and fix bugs, not cause issues. It looks like you've done quite a bit of troubleshooting already. If you have a battery saver, please uninstall as these can turn off data to save battery, causing signal issues.
    If still having issues, we'll need to submit more info to our product team.
    1) Provide network type and network strength details observed on phone, Menu>Setting>About Phone> Phone status> network type and network strength parameters.
    2) What type of network service issues are observed on device? Like call drop, browsing failures, SMS etc..
    3) Do you see any flickering in "network type" icon at the time of issue happened.
    4) Is the issue random / always ?
    5) Is the issue limited to a location/region or does he have problem everywhere you visit?

  • Why won't my home wifi work after jelly bean update?

    My phone updated to jelly bean on tuesday morning, and i noticed i cannot connect to my home wifi.  It will connect at school or work however.  I have tried turning off and on my phone and my router.  I know its not my connection because my other devices all connect to it.  When i go to the wifi on my phone, it detects my home wifi with a full signal, but when i put the password in to connect, it says the signal is poor and it just repeatedly tries to connect.  Is there any way that i can get my wifi to work again?  If i have to and if there is a way i will uninstall jelly bean if thats the only way to get it to work again.

    Here is my current situation with a brand new Razr HD:
    -Linksys WRT54GL with updated firmware
    -New Razr HD purchased 5 days ago
    -System Version: 9.16.6.X926
    -Android Version 4.1.2
    -Build Number 9.8.1Q-62_VQW_MR-2
    My Mom got the same phone at the same time and has dropped calls, poor wifi signal and range, etc.
    I have fully set up my phone with apps and all settings perfect, cleared the system cache, one factory reset and input all app usernames and passwords again, etc.
    My phone is perfect, except for not connecting to wifi in a room downstairs from the router where all other devices, a Nook, 10-year old DELL laptop, and Droid Incredible get 4 full bars of wifi strength. This Razr does not connect at all and rarely if it does when I leave the door open gets one bar of strength and is useless.
    I love the phone so much I am reluctant to swap it out and lose all my app settings and customization. I read that it isn't mattering if you swap it out, still the same problem. But it's bothering me and I want it right so I went to the Verizon store today to test it and swap it out for a new different one. They don't perform tests and didn't know what I was talking about. Very abrasive staff and manager tried to research the issue for a half an hour, then said they had a call in to Motorola. If I wanted to swap it out I could but that would be my one swap and that's it.
    I have actually spent so much time and effort on this I wanted to get a MAXX HD for my wasted time and frustration. That is simply out of the question. I stood there with my phone connected to the Verizon wifi network in the store with one bar of wifi strength, while the display connected to the same network showed a full network signal all bars.
    They were so abrasive, demanding that it doesn't matter how many wifi bars you get it will still connect to the Internet. I said no that's not true this device will not connect in my bedroom while all other old devices get full wifi strength. They didn't care.
    They were so reluctant in the matter that I decided to walk out and watch for an update to Jelly Bean to solve the issue. People are taking their phones back and it doesn't fix this. It seems to be strictly a Jelly Bean update fix.
    I will watch my phone, only use wifi in large areas that usually work fine, etc. My question is: When will there be a Jelly Bean update pushed out to Razr HD owners on Jelly Bean so they will have comparable wifi and signal strength to every other wifi enabled device that exists?
    Thanks
    PS. I have tried every single router and phone setting mentioned on any forum. Same thing. This requires a 2nd update.

  • Problems after Jelly Bean upgrade

    I upgraded to Jelly Bean when it came available and immediately started noticing problems.  The phone became sluggish in general but most notably the keyboard lagged to the point where texting became problematic.  I was unable to use the gallery app - it would open but pictures either wouldn't load or I couldn't scroll through them.  The camera app also wouldn't scroll through my pictures.  The web browser was sluggish even on a strong wi-fi connection.  I did a factory reset twice and lost a ton of information in the process, in hopes the reset would clear things up.  I ended up going to the store and the rep said he would have a new phone overnighted - which by the way, they gave me a used, sorry, a "certified like-new replacement" phone, not a new one.
    Now that I have my replacement I'm reluctant to upgrade this one to Jelly Bean if I'm going to continue having problems.  Are/were these just an isolated problem, perhaps something in the phone itself and not the software, or are these widespread issues that will hopefully be addressed?  I've read on forums all over that people are complaining of battery drain but I didn't have that issue, just the sluggishness and the inability to access my pics.

        Jbthompson, I know it can be upsetting when an update that should improve your phone's functionality causes it to have problems. I haven't seen the issues you experienced on most Galaxy S III's. Like TheGuyUpNorth stated, most issues are resolved with a factory reset. Do you know if any of your applications were automatically re-installed after the reset? Sometimes the cause of slowness can be related to applications that were compatible with the old OS no longer being compatible with the new one, or conflicting with each other. If you reset and then the same applications are re-installed, then the problem may arise again. Have you completed the JB update on your Galaxy S III replacement yet? Even if you defer or reject the software update, it may come again at a later date. You want to make sure you are ready to complete the update because if it alerts you in the middle of the night and you don't respond, it may go thru. If the battery isn't charged fully that could cause a problem with the update completing. Please let us know if you have any problems with the replacement and we'll be happy to help.

  • No notification bubbles after Jelly Bean update.

    Hello, my Galaxy S3 no longer shows the number of missed calls or text messages in little bubbles on the lock-screen. apparently it's a problem/change on Verizons side of Jelly Bean, since other S3 carriers don't suffer from this. Is there a way to fix it, if it's a bug, and does Verizon know about it? Or was it intentional?
    I've factory restored the device and all, no change.

    I want the bubble notification back. Other carriers still have it and this upsets me greatly. I love being able to use the shortcut and it went right to the msg  or email.
    i noticed the battery consumption but didn't connect that to jelly bean... WTH verizon what were you thinking. get your butts in gear and fix this. fix the calendar too.  I'm now very unhappy with being a verizon customer. i love my phone now put it right PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU FIX MY PHONE

  • Xperia T menu icons touch problem after Jelly Bean upgrade

    I have Xperia T upgraded to jelly bean 4.1.2 Build Number 9.1.A.0.489 kernel version 3.4.0-g5b052b2-00759-gd9ee069 - Mon Jan 14 15:29:55 2013
    After tap my menu icons in jelly bean there is no action. ex. Settings, Messages icon tap.
    After switch on developer options -> show layout bounds - it's shown that icons (blue square) are covering the touch area (pink square) and not pushing touch events to action areas, only bouncing but without action. When touching both blue and pink area with finger icons works fine, with touching only blue areas no action. Every other touch are ok.
    Is it common issue ?
    Thanks.

    I think this only happens when you enable that under development options. Have you tried to turn that off and check if this still remains?

  • No Speed Dial after Jelly Bean update

    I am using a Razr Maxx. I had several speed dial numbers set up and working before the update.  Now they do not work and I cannot add them from the menu or by holding down the number I want to assign.  What is going on?  How do I fix it?

    Speed dial was one of the features removed in Jelly Bean; alternatives are Direct Dial and Favorite Contacts widgets.

  • Nothing but problems since Jelly Bean update

    Really frustrated with my phone since the JB update.  I have a Droid RAZR Maxx.  I really liked my phone until the update.  I've been waiting patiently for the problems to go away, but they're not.  I have tried restarting, as well as deleting unused or lesser used apps to free up memory.  The problems include:
    Overall, the phone runs slower than it used to.
    Text messages not sending -- AT ALL (especially with a photo attachment).  I have to resend text messages about 25% of the time due to a message failure error notice.  And sometimes the phone indicates the message hasn't been sent (shows an arrow as if it's still sending), so I resend it... only to get a reply from the other person that they received multiple messages from me.  Texting should not be so difficult.
    Text messages not receiving -- have to "download" them, which seems to take a long time.
    Touchscreen sometimes lags significantly -- this causes me to push a button more than once, or not realize I pressed something because the screen doesn't react.  Because of this, I have inadvertently hung up on people and made calls I didn't intend to make. 
    Apps freeze frequently, requiring a hard restart.
    Apps are slow -- they take forever to load and refresh.  Playing games, especially timed ones, is pointless because of the lag.
    Camera takes a long time to turn on and switch between functions.
    Unpredictable battery quick-drains.  When it's doing this, the phone gets hot!  Takes a few restarts to get back to normal. 
    I don't know if this is a phone issue or a service issue, but it's really annoying.  I'm not eligible for a new phone upgrade/contract til Feb 2014.  This phone shouldn't be giving me so many problems.  I've taken good care of it.
    Anyone have similar issues?

    Have you tried a system cache clear?  It won't hurt to try since it doesn't take that long and shouldn't delete your data:
    Power down phone
    Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
    Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
    Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
    Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery *
    Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
    Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select
    * if this doesn't work, press and hold the volume down and wait for a second or two, then press and hold the volume up and the volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds and then release

  • Google Voice Won't Work With Bluetooth Headset After Jelly Bean

    I am SO frustrated. I had no idea I was installing the Jelly Bean update when I updated the software on my phone. Note to Verizon Communications team: PLEASE do a better job of communicating significant software updates. I would not have installed Jelly Bean. I learned long ago to stick with factory OS on my phones.
    Since the update, I noticed that I could no longer dictate texts and emails. Also, my call recording app no longer worked. I switched to Swype and it would work for a few minutes and then stop.  I could still use my bluetooth headset to make calls and S voice worked (although, like others here, I noticed that it's now worse--it doesn't recognize any contact names I request anymore). After trolling Android forums I found that the problem is with the bluetooth headset. You can still dictate when the phone's bluetooth is on, but when a device is connected, all bets are off.
    I almost did a factory reset, but then I read that a hard reset will not restore ICS, nor did it resolve this bluetooth Google Voice issue for the few people who tried it already. In fact, resetting caused more problems (eg., more battery drain and removal of Adobe Flash, etc.).
    Does anyone know how I can go back to ICS? Bluetooth and Google Voice are the two features I value most in my phones. This is a NIGHTMARE.

    rcschnoor -
    The Bluetooth/Voice Search/Dictation issue is a valid issue for the OP, a valid issue for me and oh yeah, the hundreds of other people affected by the, "Google Voice Search stuck on "Initializing" bug filed here on the Google Android Project page.  Here is yet another reference to the same issue from Android Central.
    The "Google Music freezing after Jelly Bean Update on Galaxy S3" is also a valid and documented bug located here also on the Google Android Project page.
    So I ask, how does sharing with these people that do have these issues, and are affected by them, that you are not experiencing these issues help in any way?  Isn't that the whole purpose of a community forum to help others?

  • The only way to fix Xperia P problems after the jelly bean update!

    After the jelly bean update my Xperia got slow, I could not answer phone calls, the call log took so much time to appear , I have tried uninstalling external softwares , reseting the phone , nothing worked. Finally I have downgraded the phone follwing the guidelines provided in this link - http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/GUIDE-How-to-Install-Jelly-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sand...
    Now my phone is fast , gallery is working fine , I can receive phone calls , no useless chrome by default , the google search widget works fast , the overall performance is much better. So I would recommend people to downgrade their Xperia p to ice cream sandwich and stick with it. OLD is GOLD! 

    What is your build version now after downgrading to ICS? I could not download 6.1.1.B.1.54 from the list which was best to me.. Please let me know quickly, I'm having the same **bleep** problem in JB.

  • Everyone seems to be talking about the Jelly Bean update, however when I check for an update, it says my phone is up to date.  Why is this?

    It seems like every other RAZR Maxx has an update but mine.  What the heck? lol

    Same with mine - got in May. Says it is Factory Certified - factory tested 
    but never used. Claimed not a full charge yet it was 95% charged...what can
    you  do - other models were lesser in quality and features..interesting
    that you had  option to take update - I did not. My email accounts were not
    receiving. Didn't  try nav doc...Hope this one will be better.
