I am having trouble keeping my bluetooth headset connected to the phone. Sometimes while making a call the bluetooth disconnects just as a call comes in or just before the connection on a out going call. The problem appears for a few hours, then disappears. I restart the phone, but it has no effect.

That's pretty strange, mwb1957. I haven't come across this same issue with the Note 3, so let's look into what's going on. Have you had the opportunity to try a different Bluetooth device? What make and model Bluetooth are you using? When the call seems to disconnect from the Bluetooth, are you and the headset within a few feet of the device?

I am using a plantronics voyager pro headset only. The headset is almost always close to the phone. As a call is coming in I can see the bluetooth button on the call screen flicker then go off. This will happen for a few hours then stop. I usually restart the phone with no effect.

Thanks for your reply, mwb1957! Like JenniferH stated, I haven't heard of such a thing before. Have you noticed any patterns to the time that this happens? Such as, do you find yourself in the same locations each time (in the car, in a specific room of the home or office)? Have either devices (phone or headset) experienced physical damage?

My S4 has a similar issue with my Plantronics Legend earpiece from time to time. I can't really get a pattern to it. It does not do it often. I updated the firmware in the earpiece to the latest firmware on the Plantronics web site. I never had the problem until I got the S4. Either one of my S3 gave this problem.

Lets make certain you stay connected japetty! It's odd that it happens randomly but we'll pinpoint the issue. Do you use any other bluetooth device? If so, do you experience the same issue?

When I used it with the S3 I sold a few months ago I never had an issue. I got the S4 after the S4 32 GB became available. I noticed the issue randomly so I updated the software in my plantronics legend to the latest available and it still disconnects randomly. It may go one day or it may go a week. It may do it here at the house or it may do it when I am driving down the road. I can always get it to reconnect easily and sometimes it will not disconnect and sometimes it just keeps disconnecting until I reboot the phone.

Thanks so much for the insight, Japetty. Is the call still there when you drop from the bluetooth? Does the call drop as well? Any particular applications that have been downloaded since you received the S4?

Has there been any resolution to the poor bluetooth quality issues? I traded my Motorola that synced perfectly with my car for this Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I cannot connect for any longer than 20 seconds. Drops, connects, drops, connects and it even hung up once! How can this be? Are there any answers on here?

I have been having the same problem. It is maddening as I prefer the Plantronics. It does not do this with by Bose so it seems to be unique to Plantronics and would love a solution.

I recently lost my old Plantronics. So I thought maybe a new one would not have the issue of disconnection but I was wrong. The new one disconnects just as the old one disconnected. I have not contacted the Plantronics help desk yet but may soon if the problem does not get fixed. I did not have this issue until VZW updated my phone to 4.4.2.
