Hi All,
As a last nail in the coffin, I had recently purchased a brand new samsung android phone for my mother (not a high end one, but a basic one which has almost all the bells and whistles of a flagship phone sans the price) and tried the bluetooth option, BUT again a BIG NO! This phone too failed to detect the AVR. So the only option left to test is a non-samsung android phone hoping that Samsung here is the culprit.
I will definitely try that option too, but currently we all are Apple users hence nobody in the family has another non-samsung android phone but as and when I do catch hold of someone who has a non-samsung android phone, I will try pairing it again with the AVR and will post the results here.
Meanwhile if someone who has recently bought the 6012, I would request them to check the bluetooth connectivity with their android phones (any brand) and post the results here.
Thank you all once again for all your time and efforts put here to troubleshoot the problem. At the bottom of my heart I still feel this is a samsung issue rather than the AVR.
Regards,
Pushkaraj
