Samsung Galaxy S4: Trying to pair by Bluetooth to Capella CR50 Desk clock: Unable to pair:

Hello..

Yes, the Capella CR50 should be able to Bluetooth pair with any device that can connect via Bluetooth (as stated in the Capella product description).

If you are not able to connect try doing the following (process of elimination) to resolve why this is happening:

• Turn off and turn on again Bluetooth mode
• Try resetting the Bluetooth app in Applications>All Applications under Phone Settings
• Try eliminating apps that may be affecting the bluetooth connection.. you can narrow this down by rebooting the phone into Safe Mode. If in Safe Mode, your S4 is able to connect via bluetooth to the Capella CR50, that will tell you that it is software related, and most likely an app that you installed that is not playing nice with your phone. You can either remove apps one by one and retrying to connect via bluetooth to find and eliminate the issue, or remove all the apps you installed and start fresh.

(Note: removing an app with erase any settings you set up as well as any database within the app (such as a game with scores/levels/and any rewards you received/purchased, unless that database is saved in an online cloud account you sign into specifically for that app, or sync to Facebook (FB) while having the game installed in your FB account

How To Set Up Bluetooth On Your Samsung Galaxy S4 Phones 4u

.

Try to insert external SD card and move some app over there: System Settings -> Applications Management. Highlight any app and in open window select 'move to ext SD card'

I have 2 sgh-m919 galaxy s4 s from TMobile. Both phones were randomly showing the message "sim card not detected restart" and phone would reboot.. sometime would have to reboot 2 or 3 times before i was normal. I tried many of the net poste solutions including paper on sim card, clear cache, new battery etc. Nothing worked

This week i was ready to buy a new phone.. but was sure the phone wasnt the problem. I started deleteing apps one at a time and found the problem. It is GOOGLE MAPS !!! G0 into settings / more / application manager / slide over to all/ down to Maps /clear cache/ uninstall updates / force stop. Then turn off phone and restart. When you go to use maps or waze again when it asks for permission "decline" it will still work and you wont see the sim not detected restart message again.. Google the words google maps crash or reboots and see how many phones crash. Galaxy s4 happen to have the dialog box that makes it appear to be a hardware problem! Googles motto use to be "First do no harm" please reply if this works for you

Good luck!

In Android, the word widget is a generic term for a bit of self-contained code that displays a program, or a piece of a program, that is also (usually) a shortcut to a larger application. We see them every day on web pages, on our computer desktop and on our smartphones, but we never give too much thought into how great they are. Widgets first appeared in Android in version 1.5, and really gained traction thanks to HTC's Sense-flavored version of the operating system. Prior to the release of the HTC Hero and our first taste of Sense, widgets were functional, but pretty bland in appearance. Since then, manufacturers and independent developers alike have done some marvelous things with widgets, and it's hard to imagine using Android without them. Android widgets come in all shapes and sizes and range from the utilitarian 1-by-1 shortcut style to full-page widgets that blow us away with the eye-candy. Both types are very useful, and it's pretty common to see a widget or two on the home screen of any Android phone. A full-page widget, like HTC's weather widget for late-model Android phones, tells you everything you need to know about the current conditions, and is also a quick gateway to the weather application where you can see things like forecasts and weather data for other cities. At the other end of the spectrum, the Google Reader 1x1 widget watches a folder in your Google Reader account and tells you how many unread items there are, and opens the full application when pressed. Both are very handy, and add a lot to the Android experience.
Most Android phones come with a handful of built-in widgets. Some manufacturer versions of Android offer more than others, but the basics like a clock, calendar, or bookmarks widget are usually well represented. This is just the tip of the iceberg though. A quick trip into the Android Market will dazzle you with the huge catalog of third-party widgets available, with something that suits almost every taste. With Ice Cream Sandwich supporting things like higher resolution screens and re-sizable widgets, it's going to be an exciting year seeing what developers can come up with.

Reboot phone and retry to see if that solves it.

Upgrade the firmware to the latest stock version.

Remove any free apps that might be crashing or downloading lots of adverts.
Make sure you are in a good reception area for your 3g or wireless. Google play needs a good network connection to download its updates and apps.

Try to wipe it clean. Aka hard reset. Lots of vids on youtube.
Turn off
Press power + vol up
When logo appear release power. Still hold vol-up until green android appear.
Now you can navigate menu with vol up/dn and select with powerbut

You will select factory reset
Scroll past no no no to yes
Scroll to reboot

Maybe its an app you installed? My S4 mobile started rebooting all the time by itself after intalling a kids game!

if you're using any kind of task killer app or autokiller app then disable/remove them . task killer apps usually kill widget processes and services which results in the freezing of your widgets .

hope this helps .
peace :)
