Some weird bugs in Samsung T639

[Hinano]

I'm probably the only one using this phone but maybe someone out there can help.
I got 2 bugs that are a recent happening with this phone.

First one is sometimes when I go to call someone I get an error saying "emergency calls only". Only after rebooting the phone does it eventually go away :confused:

Second, my bluetooth magically stopped working. I have one of those plugin usb blue tooth thingies...and I used it fine the first time when I transferred some ringtones. But now I plugin the thing, my computer not only doesn't recognize my bluetooth (I have a toshiba), it seems to read the phone and the phone seems to "recognize the computer" but when I try file transfer...nothing works.

At this point I ordered a microSD card to transfer photos and stuff but I wonder if anyone else had a similar problem? :(

Gosh nobody can help? TT_TT
I guess I'll just use my microSD card for transferring stuff from now on :(

I would recommend a MircoSD as you're internal phone memory could be full, or close to it. Also, rebooting your computer may get your bluetooth dongle to work correctly. If you keep a Windows laptop on with a dongle, i've noticed from past experience, rebooting usually works. Annoying, but it works.

As for your "Emergency Calls Only", try going into the settings and doing a manual search for a network, you should power cycle your phone at least once a day to ensure the signal latches onto the closest tower at all times. If you don't it tends to stick to a tower that could be further away, even though a closer one is available.

I checked my internal memory - it's definitely not full but I am now using the microSD card to transfer files.

I tried rebooting but bluetooth still won't read my phone. I really don't know what happened since it worked fine the first day I got the phone :( I just hope it works with the blue tooth headsets I purchased recently.

As far as rebooting the phone - thanks I'll try that. I usually have my phone on like 24/7 and if its not in my bag it's charging. I guess it needs a reboot every once in a while :D

Is the bluetooth issue you're having a problem through your computer, or your phone?

I once had trouble getting my Samsung t629 to communicate with my computer via bluetooth. I ended up fixing it by uninstalling my bluetooth software, plugging my dongle into a different usb port, and reinstalling the bluetooth software. After doing that, the phone once again was able to communicate with my computer.
