I have been using a 1490T for a couple of months with perfect function until I tried using the Bluetooth connection with my Samsung SGH-T819 phone. No problem linking up, both the nuvi and phone indicate they are connected. The first time I called it for a function test, the "accept/ignore" box appeared, I accepted, and the call came through fine. But it has failed consistently every time since. Most of the time the "phone" icon does not even appear on the main screen, so I can't make a call, and when a call comes in, the "accept/ignore" box does not appear. Then if I try to answer the phone directly, sometimes it works, sometimes I get no audio and can't answer the call.
I have the latest software update on the nuvi, from a couple of days ago, but the problems are the same before and after the update installation. Every other feature on my nuvi works fine; I am content to not have the Bluetooth running.
I am not asking for research assistance, but if you happen to have had (and somehow fixed) this issue, I would love to read your report. Thanks.
