Default Odd bluetooth problem

My older Samsung phone worked fine with my 2010 A4 for about two months. But now I'm finding that the first call or two that I make during a drive will not connect properly. The system dials the phone, the screen says "connected," but I hear nothing from the other end, and the caller hears nothing coming from me. I can hang up and dial this same number, and it will then connect properly on the second or third try. I haven't changed any settings on the phone or on the car's Bluetooth system. Any suggestions?

If you don't hear from someone recognizing your problem I suggest that you first remove the car from your bonded devices in your phone and bond again. Removing the phone from the car list might cause extra work to enter directory or phone list details.

The last step would be a reset of one or both of the "devices".
(MMI Restart is explained in the manual "Setup + Control **** + Upper Right" but I haven't tried it to know if your entered data is cleared.)

I'll try these suggestions (the MMI reset first, since it doesn't clear entered data from the directory--I already had to do this for an earlier unrelated problem).

I have the exact same issue ore often than not w/ my iPhone. I've reset the MMI/bonded devices, and it still happens...
I typically hang up and call them back and it works ok at that point.

When I first tried using bluetooth with my Cliq and 3G MMI, it worked great. I could make/receive calls with no problems. Now for some reason when someone is trying to call me, I hit "accept" and I can't hear anything over my speakers. I have to end up putting the phone to my ear to talk to them. Anybody else have this problem? Btw, I've already tried doing an MMI reset and repairing my phone with the car as well.
