Nokia 8801.

I mean most of the time I have no problem. It will all of sudden disconnect sometime while I'm using it. I would say I got disconnected probably 4 or 5 times over a year and four month.

Sounds like you're getting 'dropped' by your cell carrier - doesn't sound like a BT issue at all. Who's your carrier ???

FWIW, I've got Verizon and a Moto E815 - no issues whatsoever . . .

my bluetooth connects everytime but sometimes the answer key on the steering wheel does not work. I can press it repeatedly when someone is calling, and it wont activate the call..

Does the phone disconnect, or does the bluetooth disconnect?

Sometimes, if you have a cover or fascia on your phone, it limits the bluetooth range...

I don't think it's that cuz I can still use the phone without any problem. sometime the bluetooth will stop working but my phone is still running..

Recently, my phone and bluetooth (car) will not connect. I have one of those Samsung slider phones and I don't know if it's the phone or the bluetooth in the car. I've tried to manually connect from both sides (the car & phone) and it doesn't work. Tonight, I'm going to switch to my blackberry and figure out whether it's the car or the samsung. Hopefully, it's the phone. I spilled some melted butter on it and may have damaged it. I'll keep you guys/girls posted.

yeah with my phone it sometimes doesnt connect because my battery is too low even tho on my phone it still says i have over half of battery life left, so that might be it, maybe?

also, i have a question. when someone calls me. my caller ID only works sometimes....sometimes it will be the name showing up on screen, sometimes only the number, and sometimes nothing at all just "incoming call." and yes the person call is in my phone book on the phone and on the nav. any ideas?
