I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a common problem for the SGS3. Previous to my HM1900 Samsung Bluetooth I had the HM1800. The 1800 worked flawlessly, around 25 feet or so through a wall, turning my head, etc., how a Bluetooth should work. The HM1900, however, is awful in comparison. During work, I keep my phone in my right breast pocket with the headset in my right ear. I stream music while working (in near-perfect 4G) though if I put my arm over my chest, or turn my head, I lose signal. Could it be the headset itself, or is it a possibility that it's a combination of both?
On the phone I have the Otterbox Commuter case, so it isn't that thick. The phone is not rooted and running 4.3. I have attempted at doing a software update, but nothing downloads. Is there somewhere to download a software update for the Bluetooth itself on the phone? Or is this just a lost cause?
I would rather keep the HM1900 just because of how well built it is, I easily ruined my HM1800 within two weeks for it not being as robust.
And another side note! Volume is damned quite on the headset even with everything at full volume. Any volume control fix or app?

I have problems when streaming music to a bluetooth speaker. When using iphone on max volume sound is much louder than when I try using my galaxy s3. Do you know a way how to fix that?

Repairing doesn't do anything unfortunately.
Is it possible there's just a weak bluetooth antennae in the phone, or it has somehow become damaged/unhooked?
Going back to my first post, the older headset worked wonderfully, but this new one isn't doing so hot. Turn my head; lose signal, place a hand over phone; lose signal. It will however work from five feet away crystal clear with no obstructions, but I must be within sight and have my headset facing the phone. Seems a little ridiculous for a bluetooth if I can't have the phone in my pocket.
If when checking the Bluetooth association you find general poor performance, then there are a few things you can attempt. Initially, make certain your gadget's batteries are appropriately charged or are overall new. Contingent upon the gadget, you can discover this data in either the Bluetooth menu or the Bluetooth framework inclination by selecting "Show more information" from the apparatus menu. On the off chance that your gadget has removable batteries, than regardless of the fact that the framework reports them as being healthy, give the battery compartment a decent investigation to check whether any consumption has happened from a spilling battery.

Unfortunately the batteries are not removable in my device. They are fully charged as well. I think a lot of this comes down to the signal on the BlueTooth itself brand to brand and model to model. Still though, there might be a fix.
I have come to the conclusion that the Bluetooth headset is the problem going from one device to another; from one Galaxy S3 to an HTC One to my current Galaxy Note 4. The problem is the HM1900. Purchase the HM1700, it's not as robust, but it sure fits better and gives better sound.

Since swapping from my GS2 i have noticed signal loss issues when streaming music from my HOX to my Bluetooth headphones. Previously i used my GS2 everyday to play music via one of 2 pairs of Bluetooth headphones whilst training. Never had any issues with signal loss even when I left the phone on the other side of the gym temporarily. Now when I use my HOX I get massive skips sometimes if i merely put it in my pocket upside down or more commonly if i put my hand over the top end of the handset or swing a weight and/or my arm etc over top of it. I swapped firmware to aokp to see if it helped and it may have slightly but still it is unacceptable for a newer handset to do this let alone a flag ship. I have seen some others noticing this too and sorry if it has been already discussed lots, just wondering if anyone has found a fix or workaround? Or do I just need to go back to Sammy and swap to an s3?
Thanks in advance

Go swap it for an S3. You'll fit right in over at the whiniest forum on xda.
Chill, no need for that dude I'm not trolling or IMO excessively moaning over nothing as it seems like I have a legit hardware issue I was trying to work around, other than that I'm very happy with my change back to HTC.

I've had similar problems with my bluetooth headset on my One X - fairly frequent signal dropouts which appear as pauses / skips in the music. This is in contrast to my HTC Desire which always had a good signal to the same headset, and very rarely (if ever) dropped out.
i use bluetooth headphones when training and also catching train to work and i notice it too mate. In fact i had something similar in my desire HD. The range of the signal and also strength is exremely poor in recent HTC phones for some reason. I thought it may be my Senheiser headphones, but i tested them on my friends SG1 and they work perfectly even at long ranges, no skips or pauses.
I don't think there is a fix as i think the problem is in the poor hardware itself......hopefully HTC address this in their future phones
Cheers for the replies guys, yeah assumed that was the case just was hoping I could some how increase the buffer size or something along those lines so when the signal is interrupted it could stream through it somewhat. Obviously this would only work if the interruption was relatively short but still may just be enough for a bit smoother playback, providing this was possible at all in the first place of course. I tried to fiddle with power amps settings to do this in a very basic way but had no real success.

It's probably obvious, but have you tried unpairing and then re-pairing your BT headphones? I used to have a similar problem with my Legend, and doing that solved it (along with rebooting the phone). BT reception on my HOX has been near flawless, on the other hand, so not sure what causes your problems. Hope the above helps.
PS. The HOX does have skip issues when turning the screen on/off, and I suspect this has to do with switching to and from the companion core. Wonder if that will be fixed in JB.

My bluetooth headset signal is getting worse and worse.. even having it about 30cm away it'll still lose signal.
and if i put it in my pocket and walk, basically every step i lose signal...
I assume it's software issue and it didn't have such a bad problem when i was on ICS
This is a hardware issue

Has anybody else tried the Motorola Elite Sliver bluetooth earpiece? I have tried two of the units with my AT&T S3 and with both the people I am talking to have complained about the low quality of the sound. It's loud enough. They say the sound is "fuzzy" and sounds like I am talking in a barrel. Also, there is a lot of background noise. I installed the MotoSpeak app and tried different background noise cancellation settings but that didn't help. I had a friend of mine try it with his iPhone 5 and the problem persisted. It is without a doubt the most comfortable earpiece I have ever worn. But, that's of little value if the other person can not understand me.
Thanks

I use it with my S3 and I like it. I haven't haany complaints about MINE, but two of my friends got them because I raved about it and they both sounded fuzzy. one of them returned it and the other still uses his. I love how minimal it is, but I sometimes miss my moto h710 I had. that thing was amazing and crystal clear.

I think I can help you with this since i was exhausted with this prob before.
You can connect the earpiece normally, yet before turn on bluetooth on your S3 do a few step below:
Access Motorola Elite sliver menu and turn off Wide band audio (option 5)
Then turn it off
Turn it on and access menu again. Then turn on Wide band audio
Turn on S3 bluetooth and let it connect to Motorola Sliver as normal
--> You are good to go, people now can hear you loud and crystal clear :victory:
Hope you also enjoy the earpiece as I do after fixing this prob
Thanks windbytrick. People tell me that really made an improvement. Is this procedure required every time I take the earpiece out of the charger? Or, every time I turn the earpiece off? Thanks again.

this should be done everytime you take the earpiece out of the charger, i'd recommend you do it once in the morning and keep the connection between SLIVER and S3, then you dont have to worry for the rest of the day. It wont be a prob for both S3 and Sliver battery.
Thanks winbytrick.
I had it, return and bought Jabra WAVE+. Way better and more comfortable.
Tengtengvn,
Does the Jabra Wave+ have the same capabilities as the Sliver with the MotoSpeak app?
Android has that capability built in. Why do you need an app to do that?
While I've been waiting for my Nexus 5, I've decided to get all my accessories ahead of time. I was on Amazon today and saw that the LG Tone Bluetooth headset is on sale..where it is normally $70-80, it's going for a little over $40..i ordered one, just wanted to let all of you know.

"A little over $40"? Dude, that's $50. Still a deal, but...either your math or vision is atrocious. Lol.

He's right, it was cheaper earlier. About $42 when I checked. Amazon prices fluctuate.
Deal looks dead now.
Also doesn't work with the Nexus 5. Volume stays at max no matter what you do.

I have that happen to me; the reason is that the Tone+ adjusts the device volume and not the headset's own volume. I blame the supposed 4.4 "enhanced support for bluetooth devices" trying to be too clever...
Either way, I've bodged mine by using the equaliser to flat pull down to 10% on all frequency channels and then set headset volume to minimum using the hardware volume rocker.
Clunky, but it works!

Can you explain where you find that?
I've owned one of these headsets for almost a year (I also own the earlier HBS-700). I've tested it with the HTC One and Nexus 5. A few notes from my own experience:
As pointed out elsewhere: The HBS-730 controls the volume level on the Nexus 5 not the headset itself. I expect this is a "feature" of 4.4.
This headset has remarkably short Bluetooth range. I've seen drop outs when I have my phone in my right pocket but not in my left. My suspicion is the headset radio is on the left side. Why this is a problem is beyond me. Anyway, range in open air is better but if you expect it'll carry around the office, through walls or (occasionally) through your body: look elsewhere. The 700 has better range, oddly enough.
The battery is great. I can listen to music or podcasts for 8 solid hours. It tends to cut out at around 10 hours of use (ymmv). I've yet to see a significant loss in battery life.
The wire shielding as it enters the the headset body will start to break down after enough use. I've yet to find a real solution to this but a little electrical tape seems to prevent additional damage.
Sound quality is good. Sound isolation is very good. Mic quality is alright and very dependent on shirt collar and headset position.
$42USD (on Amazon.com at the time of this post) is a good price.
Recommended: Yes with the above caveats.

How I found the solution or where I found the equaliser?
If the former, the answer was trying anything I could until it didn't deafen me!
I noticed that when I pressed the volume buttons on the Tone+ while music was playing, the system device volume bar would appear on the display and adjust just like when pressing the hardware volume keys on the device. This never happened on my Nexus 10 (stock) nor Galaxy Note (stock, PA, CM) and the headset volume could be adjusted independently of the "source" volume, so conclusion was 4.4 specific. "better support" for bluetooth devices was a well publicised thing about 4.4 so I drew that conclusion as well.
I then reduced the volume using the hardware keys to minimum and found the volume to still be too loud, which is why I had the idea of using the equaliser to drop it further.
I only use Google Play Music (for the All Access subscription), so to get the equaliser it's just Overflow Dots -> Settings -> Equaliser. Your player of choice may be different or simply not have one... I don't know if the equaliser is Play Music specific or system-wide...
Hope that helps!

I also have this volume problem, yet would still recommend the headset. Really helps me ignore the lack of a proper headphone jack cutout on my spigen Neo hybrid. However, has anyone on an aosp rom noticed the volume problems as well? I wonder if it's just a Google kitkat problem.

Thanks. Your first part answered my question. Does your phone also automatically increase back up to full volume on the phone no matter how you try to turn it down?
Example:
Connect headphones
Set headphones to minimum volume
Attempt to turn down volume on phone
Phone turns the volume back up to maximum no matter what

yeah, it's very finicky but does work eventually if you keep pressing volume down...
Update seems you have to start playing music before it will let you turn the volume down... the headset switches mode when playing music "media audio" and not playing music "phone audio" and when in one mode it looks like you cannot adjust the volume for the other mode...

So just to make sure I'm understanding this:
Start playing music via bluetooth
Use equalizer to turn down music
turn down music on headset
listen at less than an ear splitting level

I purchased a used Sony ZL c6506. The ZL would not boot, it would only show a steady red LED when connected to a charger. I figured out that it is likely a battery problem as the person who sold me the phone told me he was using it as a GPS when the battery drained and the phone turned off. He tried charging it and it would not charge or boot.
I replaced the battery and it booted. I upgraded from 5.02 to 5.1.1 as a test to make sure the wi-fi was working. The upgrade installed and it was running stock 5.1.1 (10.7.a.0.222). I did a factory reset from the ROM settings to clear out the previous owner's data and apps. After setting up the phone, I went to change the volume for alarm and ringtone. As I moved the volume slider around, there was no sound from the external speaker. Rear speaker doesn't work in safe mode either. Headphone jacks work properly and, when I remove the headphone plug from the phone jack while playing a song, the song pauses until I press the play button to resume playback. No matter what I do, I can't hear anything from the external rear speaker.
I took the phone apart a few times and everything looks okay. I even connected a tiny speaker and connected it directly the what I think are the speaker connections on the phone and still nothing, even when booting with boot sounds enabled in the ROM settings.
Given everything I have described, should I buy a replacement loudspeaker piece for the phone or am I just wasting my money?
Any troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
Decided to buy a replacement buzzer. Hopefully, the replacement will fix the issue; otherwise, I will have to use the phone as a media player

The speaker have a screw that needs to be tight correctly to work. here is a video on wich screw I am talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yADs4OsAXg
Got the replacement speaker and still no sound from the phone. Everything works perfectly (vibration, headphones, wifi, bluetooth, etc.) except sounds. Factory reset a couple of times and nothing.
Time to move on from this issue. Parts are too expensive to keep trying to repair it so now I have a nice media player
i had the issue with battery and speaker...turns out the battery issue is common with zl..
solution for battery:remove the battery connection to board and reconnect it...(this happens alot to me especially when im using camera)
solution for speaker: the screw on the speaker loosens for some reason and results in disconnection....i used a piece of paper to hold it tight from back
hope this helps for u
i think the buds are really good.... but I am now on my third pair, as the first two both malfunctioned, and i'm starting to wonder if its the buds or the phone. In . both cases, when new, I had equal stereo, but within a few days, I found the left side to be much quieter than the right side. One day they were fine. the next day they weren't, and they never returned to working properly. Identical experience on the first two sets. In both cases I had tried resetting them, removing and re-pairing them, messing around with loads of different galaxy buds and bluetooth parameters etc. Of course, I tried reversing them in the opposite ears, but it was the bud, not my ear! So now im on my third pair, and hoping they dont go wrong. Anyone else had these issues? Perhaps its the device itself?

I had major issues with my buds after an update so much that I couldn't put my phone in my pocket without 2 or 3 second dropouts. I had to reset the buds a couple of times and now they are perfect again. Have you tried this?
Does the ambient sound work for you? For me and other users who reported the issue in Samsung forum it does not, meaning that it does not make any difference...
There was an update in the last few days. I've had much better luck since then.
Hey guys I have an issue with my galaxy Buds.
They are not loud enough and dont produce good sound quality for calls as well as for music, they also dont get along with bluetooth connectivity. Most of the time gets disconnected and produce uneven sound while they are connected to the device, people on the call do not hear my voice properly and clearly.
Have tried reset option but it does not work for me, face the same problems time and again.
Any solutions? Definitely not going for a replacement as the procedure will be lengthy as I got them in the pre order sale.

Have you tried adjusting the volume of your buds? Go into the wear app, select your buds (my app defaults to my Gear S3), and go into touch pad. Change it to volumn up. By default they are set to like 1/2 the volumn they are capable of.

In . both cases, when new, I had equal stereo, but within a few days, I found the left side to be much quieter than the right side. One day they were fine. the next day they weren't, and they never returned to working properly. Identical experience on the first two sets. In both cases I had tried resetting them, removing and re-pairing them, messing around with loads of different galaxy buds and bluetooth parameters etc. Of course, I tried reversing them in the opposite ears, but it was the bud, not my ear! So now im on my third pair, and hoping they dont go wrong. Anyone else had these issues? Perhaps its the device itself?

don't update them, I seem to think the update bricked my pair so now I just don't mess with updates..

My buds were shipped to me the day the phone launched. From the beginning they seemed low budget in every respect except sound quality. Sound wise they are solid mid tier Bluetooth buds. Like many I had spotty connectivity while pocketing the phone. I had the right bud with less battery life/capacity then the left. And now my bud are being sent in to Samsung since the case no longer tops the earbud off without being plugged in. Fully charged case, insert dead buds, 3 hours latter buds still 0%. Light inside case never turns on.
My right one stopped connecting :/
hey,
does anyone else have a battery drain on the f3 update? my right bud keeps draining my case and itself.
The case was fully charged I left it and after 24h the case was dead and the right bud is at 30%, while the left bud is at 100%.
I tried resetting, cleaning case and even adding papers on top of right bud(bad connection) but nothing helped.
I know my bud is charging for sure because the light recognizes it but it seems unable to fully go out when in case(The bud).
Anyone had the same issue? anything that can help? I really like the buds but this issue that came with the last update(I THINK) is really a downer
