Galaxy S4 bluetooth issue

Featured Replies

Hi to all,

New to the Skoda scene, just bought a 2011 Superb Elegance DSG 170 estate and very very pleased with her.

 

Does anyone have issues with the Galaxy S4 dropping bluetooth connection with the Columbus system, I get this intermitently, sometimes it's rock solid for the entire journey, next time it'll drop every few minutes. I haven't used it as a media player yet for this very issue.

Not sure whats at fault here, I can get a rock solid connection with my Ipod via bluetooth in my Superb and the S4 worked flawlessly for a week in a hired Ford Galaxy.

 

Any thoughts?

As I'm planning to get an S4 soon I shall follow this thread.

Providing I remember to switch on the bluetooth my S4 connects and stays on line.

Something else I've noticed today, I had the phone connected this morning with the usual drops every now and again, on the return journey I didn't bother connecting it but the MFD nagged me all the way home asking me to connect the phone, didn't matter how many times I cancelled it, within 1 minute, up popped the message again. Out in the car this afternoon, didn't connect the phone and didn't get a single message asking me to connect.

Could a firmware update help here?

I'm going to try and prise my other halfs Nexus of her to test that in the car, no doubt it'll cost me lol.

 

BTW the S4 is a great phone, had mine for 5 months and love it :happy:

I have the same symptoms with a Galaxy S3, so the problem is likely at the BT module end.

I'll have a look at the connections to the module to make sure they're secure, it's under the drivers seat I think. Failing that I feel a trip to the dealer coming on.
