Dropping calls and BT since Kit Kat update - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I537 on NE3 (6/6/2014) Re-issue of Kit Kat and I'm dropping calls in areas where there's low reception but I was able to hold the call before. Also, my BT headset works fine, stays connected until the actual call is placed, then BT is dropped. I need to turn off my BT headset then turn back on.

[Q] toggle call between BT handsfree and phone

Hi,
I have a Blue-tooth hands-free set in my car.
Often I need to walk away from my car during a phone call.
It also happens that I am outside the car, a few yards/meters away from it when I make or get a call. when this happens the audio goes to the BT headset, but I can't hear it or be heard because I'm not near it.
So how can I make an ongoing call move from the BT headset back to my phone?
It has to be done from the phone only. No pressing buttons on the headset itself etc. (as I explained, I might be far from the headset and the car may be locked, etc.)
ThanX in advance!

[Q] Bluetooth Headset Won't Stay Connected

I've been using a new bluetooth headset for about a week now, and suddenly it won't stay connected to my Pure. I have not done anything different to the phone to affect the bluetooth settings, and I've checked them several times anyway and everything seems normal.
I even deleted the pair with the headset, re-paired, but still the same results. The headset is properly recognized, it connects to the phone normally, but after about 20 or 30 seconds it disconnects.
If I turn on the phone's bluetooth, turn on the headset, then make a call after it connects, the call is properly routed to the headset but only for those first 20 or 30 seconds. What's worse is when the headset disconnects from the phone during the call it doesn't just revert the call to the phone's mic & speaker, it ends the call.
By the way, the headset is a NoiseHush N450, but I don't think the problem is with the headset because the same thing happens when I pair my phone to other BT headsets.
Any ideas?

Issues with Note 3 w/ Motorola T605 Car Kit & Bluetooth AVRCP Disconnecting

OK this is a bit convoluted so please bare with me:
I have a motorola T605 installed, but do not have it hooked up to my car stereo. I use a 3.5mm cable from my Note 3 to my car stereo, and the T605 just for phone calls, BUT I do use the controls on the T605 to skip tracks.
The problem I have is it works great, until I make or receive a phone call, then the Bluetooth AVRCP profiles cease to work, and the volume keys, which were being used to skip tracks before the call, now only adjust the phone volume, and the T605 itself blinks Blue (indicating phone profile connected) instead of flashing yellow (indicating phone and media profiles connected) as it was before the phone call.
Once it happens the only way to restore it is to shut off the bluetooth car kit (ie turn my car off). Powering the bluetooth on the phone off/on does nothing, as when it reconnects it still only have the phone functionality.
When I look at the setting>Bluetooth menu on the Note, both before and after a call, it always says that both Phone and Media profiles are active and connected.
For the record I am using X-Note ROM.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance everyone.

Ok so the moto T605 is connected via bluetooth, and under bluetooth settings both phone and media are checked correct? BUT your sending the media via 3.5mm jack. I hope I read what you wrote right. If I did, I think you need to UNcheck the media box in bluetooth settings and just have phone connected. This way the music will play via 3.5mm until the phone rings. Then it will mute the 3.5mm and you'll hear the phone call over bluetooth connection. Also since the T605 is still connected via bluetooth it should still change your tracks.
Try that or tell me I read the whole post wrong and we'll try a different scenario. lol
I think you misunderstand. The audio is playing fine out of the 3.5mm jack. My goal is to keep the AVRCP connected so I can use hte button on the bluetooth car kit to control the audio player functionality of note 3 when not on a call.
