Galaxy SIII owners - any trouble with HFL?

My HFL has been acting up on me lately ever since I changed out my Evo for a GSIII. I can make phone calls and receive phone calls, but the I cannot hear the other person in either circumstance. I don't know if this is because my Galaxy has an incompatible version of Bluetooth for the older TL or if it's something not right in my settings but for the life of me I cannot figure it out.

Anyone else experience this?

I have the ATT version and everything works fine, I had to do a master reset though to get it to sync up. Maybe you should try that?

I don't have any problems with my 05 TL and S3 from Sprint. Sync right up and actually connects better than my Evo and S2. Did you try deleting your Evo from your car's memory before syncing S3?

I also have the S3 on Verizon and it works just fine with HFL. The phone is VERY nice as well. Slim, powerful, great interface on Android ICS. Do it.

Before you guys had the GS3, did you already have a phone synced up to HFL? I had my OG EVO 4G synced up before my GS3 and everything was working fine. With the GS3, it pairs up fine, and I can make calls, but I can't hear anyone through my speakers.

I have s3 and works fine. Previously had Iphone which worked as well. Delete all your stored phones first and then start anew with the s3.

I have the same issue, if I make a phone call the phone will ring but in order for me to hear over the speakers I will have to click on Headset on my S3 then it will link. But I only get this issue when I make a phone call, when I recieve a call it works fine.

Mine too ..........

Only sometimes it takes a bunch of tries for it to connect when I get in the car and turn the Bluetooth on, no rhyme or reason.

t-mobile version works fine. But either carrier the bluetooth should be the same for all s3. exchange the phone for a new one.

I have the Galaxy S3 from Sprint and a 2004 TL and I'm definitely having problems. No issues with pairing, but the in-call experience is bad. Every 10-20 seconds, the caller will "stutter" (much like the 1980s TV show, Max Headroom). It will sounds like "H-h-h-h-h-hello there". It's driving me so crazy! Anyone else have this issues? More importantly, anyone have some ideas for a fix? I've got the latest software on my phone, tried unpairing & re-pairing, all to no avail.

I had the Droid X2 before; pair up and no issues

I have the S3 now; pair up fine and no issues

My provider is Verizon

Maybe you should reset your HFL settings

GS3 from Tmobile here, no issues, actually connects much faster than my G2X did. I deleted all paired phones and phonebooks prior to pairing.

Yes, same issue with my Galaxy S3 and my new S4 with my 2004 TL. I laughed and thought the same thing - Max Headroom. Well, it's funny the first couple times, then quickly turns into a nightmare!
Tried deleting old phones, re-pairing, etc. My EVO 4G and EVO 3D worked great - something's up with the Samsung.

Was hoping it was my S GIII but my HFL won't even show up on my phone to pair.

I have the HTC before synced and working fine. Now nothing.

Having same issue for my SGIII, my HGL won't show up on my phone either. It's like it's looking for air to pair with.. I have verizon as well...Grrr...

I have a 2007 RDX but can't tell if there are other phones linked to it. Maybe I will try to see if those profiles still exist.

mmyers300: Have you had any luck extricating Max Headroom from your HFL? I'm getting ready to purchase an aftermarket Bluetooth speaker deal, but it seems silly to have to resort to that in a "high tech" Acura. Still looking for answers here!

I thought my HFL was messed up so I put it in the oven for 8 minutes at 385 degrees, let it cool completely and did it again.

Well, I was not pairing it right so I don't think the HFL was the issue to begin with.

But afterwards I was able to pair my Samsung Galaxy SIII and seems all functions work properly. At least the ones I have tried so far.

Not sure what the issue is JJH. Should be able to make it work. Make sure you phone is in search mode and follow the pair directions for Bluetooth and do the pin code.

Should pair right up. Maybe do a full clean of your Bluetooth and clear all phones and try again??

Good luck
