Bluetooth Phone Connection

For anyone else who has been using the bluetooth hands free system in the Lancer:

Have you noticed that when a call comes in and you push the button to answer the hands free system turns off? I have found that 50% of the time it turns off, and the person calling me has to call back.

Same thing for when I call someone. You go through the motions where you say the numbers out loud and confirm these are the numbers, then it dials and hangs up, but the other persons phone still rings.

Maybe it's my phone's issue, maybe it's the bluetooth system; but whatever the case it's starting to get annoying

neither to me, it is possible that your phone has the issues. Try to turn off and on your phone. That helps mine when I got any kind of issue with the bluetooth

I get the exact same thing with mine, I replace my phone with the same model thinking it was the problem (M610 Samsung) and it didn't help. Have to maybe try pairing my work blackberry and see if the same thing happens.

sounds like some settings for the bluetooth are wrong. try playing around with them and use a hosue phone to send/recieve calls.

never had that happened to me... The only issue I have with the bluetooth system is that when you get a call if you pick up before it finishes saying that you have a call... you have to wait a couple of seconds before the other person hears you...

just paired up my blackberry pearl today, so far it works the same as my old phone (which was a Motorola rocker e1). No problems to speak of so far.

I was using my handsfree connection daily. One day it just stopped working properly. I could dial out, connect to the other person, they could hear me talking to them, but i couldnt hear them through my speakers. Anyways took it to the dealer, they changed out the bluetooth module under warranty and its worked properly ever since.

I have the opposite problem. I could connect with the other person, I could hear them but they can't hear me. So the dealer will fix it free of charge?
