Phone Specific Tips and Tricks Android > Please note that voice dialing over Bluetooth was added to the Android Operating System in version 2.2.

You must select this message and agree to the connection in order to copy the phonebook to the S4.
BlackBerry > When pairing your S4 with a BlackBerry device, you may be prompted to allow the connection from the S4 in order to transfer your phonebook. If you see a message asking if you want to connect to the S4 or allow a phonebook transfer, choose “Yes” and ensure that “Always allow this connection” or “Don’t ask this again” is also selected. ENGLISH to the “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” section in the “Settings” menu on your phone and change both the “Sort Order” and “Display Order” to “First, Last”.
Troubleshooting I Cannot Transfer my Phonebook to the S4 In order to transfer your phonebook to the S4, your phone must support either the Phonebook Access Profile (PBAP), AT commands, or the Object Push Profile (OPP). If your phone does not support any of these Bluetooth profiles, then you will not be able to copy your contacts to the S4. When you receive a call, the S4 will read out the caller’s number instead. Some phones support phonebook transfers but do not support doing them automatically.
The exact setting to change depends on your phone. For example, Apple iPhone users should go to the “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” section in the “Settings” menu and change both the “Sort Order” and “Display Order” to “First, Last”. After changing the setting, you must use the Update Phonebook command to update the contacts on your S4. ENGLISH If this is happening, you can resolve it by changing the setting on your phone that controls the display and sort order of your contacts.
The S4 Reads Out the Wrong Name If the S4 is reading out the wrong name then it is likely that you have changed the contacts in your phone without updating the contacts on the S4. If you make any changes to your phonebook, use the Update Phonebook command to copy these changes to the S4. How Many Contacts Can I Store on the S4? The S4 can store up to 2,000 phone numbers for each paired device. Each number stored in your phonebook counts towards this limit.
Enter the code 0000 (four zeros). My Phone Prompts me to Confirm the Connection to the S4 If your phone always prompts you to confirm whether you want to accept the connection from the S4, then you should configure your phone to treat the S4 as a “trusted connection” or a “trusted device”.
The S4 Does Not Respond to my Voice Commands If you are having trouble getting the S4 to respond to your voice commands, try the following tips: > Say your command as soon as possible after the S4 asks you to Say A Command. > When you have an incoming call, you must wait for the S4 to finish asking you if you want to Answer or Ignore the call before saying the command. > Make sure you say the command clearly, speaking at a consistent speed. > If the S4 does not respond, repeat the command.
> The S4 plays a tone when you end a call. > The S4 plays a call waiting tone if you receive an incoming call while you are on a call. The S4 Light is Distracting ENGLISH > If you take the S4 out of range of your phone, then it will play a tone to indicate that it is no longer connected. By default the Bluetooth indicator will flash blue at regular intervals to indicate that the S4 is switched on. If you prefer, you can switch this light off.
To reset the S4: 1. Delete any existing pairing information from your phone and turn it off and back on again to refresh the phone memory. 2. Make sure the S4 is switched on but not connected to any phones. 3. Press and hold the + and - symbols for about 6 seconds, until the S4 announces that it has been reset. 4.
