HP Pavilion Desitop & Samsung Galaxy s3 Phone won't pair

My HP Pavilion Elite-HPE-4801t Windows7 and my Samsung Galaxy s3 os v.4.3 will not pair using bluetooth. All devices are up to date with software, drivers and updates.
I am also using a Netgear WIND4500 Wireless Router for my home network and I can see both devices on the network and both have internet access.
From my HP desktop I can go to devices and select [add device] which then finds my Samsung Galaxy s3. After selecting device and clicking next..my S3 receives a message showing a pairing code. After choosing [ok] and a few minutes I receive a msg on the phone "Confirm passkey xxxxxx [yes][no]" & selecting [yes] i receive a "Error Unable to pair with xxxx-HP. Incorrect PIN or password."
From my Galaxy S3 phone can go to bluetooth settings [available devices] which shows my HP desktop name..when I select I get "Bluetooth pairing request" "Confirm passkey is xxxxxx to pair with the HP desktop [cancel][ok]. I select [ok] and it shows "Pairing..." the I get the Error msg 'Unable to pair with xxxx-HP. Incorrect PIN or password"
The s3 & s4 do not allow you to manually enter the PIN or passcode. It's automatic [cancel] or [ok] only so I cannot confirm if the pairing passcode is the same on both devices. What's up with that?
I have tried everything I have read in the HP, Samsung, Internet forums.
Shut down both systems
Uninstalled & reinstalled drivers both bluetooth & phone
Checked firewall including disabling antivirus & firewall.
It appears to me that the:
HP desktop sees the Samsung s3 phone and the
Samsung s3 sees the HP desktop
I have unpaired all other wireless devices, cleared cache and data with no luck
They just won't pair to each other.
PS.
I have also tried to pair my Samsung s4 phone with the same results.
I can connect a USB cable and with a little tweaking can transfer files both ways.
I can also auto connect with my Motorola "Roadster" bluetooth hands-free car speaker and I can connect the s3 to any of serveral bluetooth wireless speakers I have. ie; Motorola, Creative, etc.
I also have a Samsung inFuse phone and have no problem pairing the HP and inFuse using bluetooth.
I have not solved this problem nor have I seen a solution since I first got the Galaxy s3 & s4 phones. At this point I have to either "live with it" or "no mas"
Sorry this post is so long...it is my history of flustration with bluetooth phone pairing.
Anybody out there got a fix???????

Hi,
Samsung has stopped at one point the distribution for android 4.3 to many international countries. There were many problems and some were Bluetooth related. I can't say the Bluetooth problems are the same as what you are experiencing. See this post.
I have paired my S3 with Windows Windows 7 and 8 and I do remember having to enter the passkey (auto generated) at least once to set up the initial parring. I am on android 4.1.2.
You might try uninstalling Samsung Kies and the S3 drivers and then reinstall. Try the latest drivers from the Samsung site if necessary.
Be sure that your PC is using the same Bluetooth level as your android 4.3. supports.

Does Samsung Galaxy III phones recognized WiFi that does not broadcast SSID?

I recently purchased Samsung Galaxy III phone. At home, I turned on WiFi SSID broadcast on the router to set up phone to connect to router. I then turned off SSID broadcast on router, and phone no longer connects to WiFi. I understand security is better when SSID is not broadcasting, but this phone will not connect now. Apple products connects just fine. Why will the phone not connect to a router that does not broadcast SSID event when the information is programmed into the phone?

what revision Actiontec do you have, can you check the service Tag? it will say REV A, B, C, D etc.....
Also you can verify you are doing the right one by logging in at www.verizon.com/repair and clicking "

Is it possible to print over a SAMSUNG Galaxy S phone onto a HP Scanjet Photosmart printer?

I have a SAMSUNG Galaxy S Phone and I want to print documents and pictures via eprint on my HP Scanjet Photosmart B110 series printer.
Where can I get an App for my phone to do this?
Thanks
Dieter

Hi Dieter-trainer,
You do not need an App to ePrint from your Android pone. All you have to do is compose an e-mail with the items you wish to print. Then in the two section, type your printer's eprint e-mail address.

Can I access my iCloud account on a Samsung Galaxy Android Phone?

Question stated above!

I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly. So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though . Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar. Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend. The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking). Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem. I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

Adobe doesn't support that.
Google and you will find some workarounds. Expect your battery to run down faster if you use it much.

Why doesn't my Macbook pro recognise my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone when connected via USB?

Just connected my Samsung Galaxy S2 mobile phone to my Macbook Pro for the first time ever using USB. Unlike a PC the Mac isn't registering that a new device has been connected? Has anyone got a solution please?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've paired it to my Mac. It was all working fine up until about a week ago, but now when I try to "Send file to device" nothing happens...

I've had my Mac and my Samsung for about 2 yeas now and I haven't had any problems with the two in regards to Bluetooth. As of about a week ago, I could no longer send files from my Mac to my Samsung. I don't know what has gone wrong, but the devices are still paired and I haven't changed any settings. I don't understand how it can just stop working
When I click the "send File to device" option, it doesn't freeze or give me any notice stating the devices are not connected, it just does nothing.

I have the opposite problem. I cannot "browse device".
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini which was working fabulously through Kies and Bluetooth (on Lion) until I upgraded to Mavericks about 3 weeks ago.
Now, when I go to Bluetooth and "Browse Device", the following happens:
The Mac will eventually find the phone, say "connected" then it will say "the device does not have the necessary services". This is despite the fact that both are discoverable and have been previously paired.
Bizzarely though, I can send a file from my Mac to my phone through the "send file" command. That works fine....
Is there something I am doing wrong or is this problem just symptomatic of the ongoing Apple-Samsung spat?
And yes, I know that Kies is now no longer supported by Mavericks and vice versa (boo!), so I have had to use other rather cranky solutions (Android File Transfer) and a faffy google calendar sync to sort the rest of the compatability problems out. The Bluetooth issue is just odd though.
If this is just an Apple-Samsung software war problem, I really wish both would grow up. Many people no longer care who made what first, we just want stuff that works. If iPhone contracts were cheaper, I would get one, but I refuse to pay more than £15 p/m for a mobile phone, sorry Apple.

Samsung Galaxy Tab - phone call and dial pad

can you actually make a phone call grom the galaxy tab, if so where is the dial pad

AFAIK, this is not a feature of the stock version. You could try installing an app such as dialer one from the market and see if it works, but I doubt it.

Premiere Pro CC: MP4 video files from a Samsung Galaxy S3 Phone

I work with Adobe Premiere Pro CC, and I am able to import the MP4 files from my Galaxy S3. The video files are very good quality. The problem is that the videos do play, but they are really choppy and freeze alot. Is there any way I can makes my MP4 video files run smoothly?
Thanks in advance.

An Intel i3 is VERY minimal for anything other than DV video such as that digitized from a tape camera
Newer, more compressed codecs need a LOT more computing power to edit
As well as your i3, how much Ram and how many hard drives?
You should have at least two 7200 RPM hard drives, or one SSD and one 7200 RPM hard drive... drive one for Windows and all software, drive two for projects and video files

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 won't update code 410

I've been having this problem since the update came out, May 1st I believe, my phone just will not update. I've done at least 3 or 4 factory resets. I think it's really important I get this installed too because I've noticed that since the update came out, and I haven't been able to get it, my data usage sky rocketed. I looked into it and realized that I'm now, all of a sudden, using my data when I'm at home connected to my WiFi. I found a previous question exactly like this for a different device and the answer to it was factory reset, which I too figured would fix it up, but did not. Does anyone know what I have to do to get my phone to take this update? This is not the first problem I have had with the phone, I've also had my contacts disapear, and google freeze constantly to name a few problems off the top of my head. Often my phones email says "sync error" I was told to factory reset to fix these problems too, which never did, I also was told to clear the cache which made no difference either. Any help would be much appreciated!

Having the ability to benefit from an update is important to us maralyn225. Let's work on the issues your having. The factory reset is our last resort to fixing functionality issues with a phone and I see you have done a few resets. What software is currently on your phone? From home screen, select apps ( located in the lower right), from the apps tab, select settings, select about phone, and view the build number. If you continue to have issues, we will need to review replacement options if you are still under warranty and no damage to your phone. I look forward to hearing from you.

Verizon for one you have very bad customer service, for two why does someone who has a one year warranty have to go into the store to replace my samsung galaxy s4 phone, when all it has done for months is over heat?

I dont understand why i would need to go into the store for a replacement phone when i have had my phone under one year just because i have had it under one year. My phone has been over heating and i been trying to get a replacement phone, but i dont really have time to go in the store and i really dont see why i can replace my phone over the phone after one year.
oh and your customer service sucks.
Thank you

My I-Phone won't pair with my Motorola Roadster. It used to work but stopped. Works with other phones

I have a Motorola Roadster that worked fine with my I-Phone for many months. Some time ago, it would not recognize my phone when I got in the car. I have messed around with re-booting the Roadster and turning both it and the phone off and on in different sequences without an luck. When I try to pair them, I get a pop-up on my phone that says 'Connection Unsuccessful - Make sure your Roadster is turned on and in range'.
I did try my wifes phone, which had never been paired with the Roadster, and it worked fine, which leads me to believe I have some setting in the I-phone that is blocking the pairing.
Any Ideas?
