Hi everone , can i ask for help /advice regarding my problem......Avensis 2012 TR tourer, when i receive a call on the telephone i accept the call, and then can only speak via bluetooth for a couple of minutes,before the connection is lost,When the caller tries again,the bluetooth doesnt work ,and the ringtone just sounds on my phone, which i am unable to use whilst driving. I should add that i am totally too old to understsand the complexities of modern tech,things so keep it simple PLEASE... MANY THANKS..

What make and model phone?

Try unpairing and re-pairing it as a first step.

press one button too link to your phone on bluetooth... and when you get in car if bluetooth is on your phone it links automatically... uses your voice system on android... never failed me yet and you can get it too read out messages hands free whilst on the move too

Of and if its an ace work collegue had one - said it was connected to the network at work but would not be connected till he shut it down and rebooted - been back and they say there is no issue... change your phone to a better one might be a better idea

Can I add to Alan's reply.

Unpair the phone as Alan suggested, reboot the phone then pair the phone. The Galaxy Ace is a 3 year old phone that supports bluetooth v2.1. It should work fine but things have moved on. Change the phone! John already said this. See if Samsung firmware can be updated. Sometimes this can fix any issues.

If a friends mobile works, you will have an idea which route to choose.
