Hey guys got some questions concerning BT.
I have noticed that bluetooth doesnt always reconnect when it should. Or am i missing something here.
I have my phone paired with my stereo receiver in my car.
- I get in my car and turn on bluetooth. After about a minute my phone pairs with my car and everything is good. I can do calls, stream mp3's via BT and use Pandora as well. Now i stop at the gas station to get gas or whatever. I shut the car of there for breaking the bluetooth connection. Bluetooth is still enabled on my android. However when i start the car back up the phone will not connect to the bluetooth in the car unless i turn bluetooth off then on again.
I'm assuming this is do to some time out count in the BT stack? is there a way to edit something in order to make this auto connect? Any one with greater knowledge on the subject school me a little bit here?
Thanks!
Hi I am recently got a windows 8 nokia 521 and I cannot seem to connect my bluetooth to my chevy 2009 factory radio. My phone does not find the cars bluetooth. I am also looking to tether with my nook tablet is there anyway to connect them.
The tethering feature that I *think* you're looking for is called Internet Sharing and is in the Settings hub.
No idea what the problem is with your Bluetooth. The phone supports headset and music profiles, among others; there shouldn't be any problem.
To connect Bluetooth you need to go to Settings and Bluetooth. To pair you need to keep on that screen to have it "visible". Now depending on how the car stereo is supposed to pair, you might have to pair it from the phone or pair it from the stereo.
Yeah, cars are weird.
To tether internet to your nook, you'll have to make sure you have a tethering plan. If you do, just go to settings and internet sharing and flip the switch.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with Bluetooth on their S6 Edge.
I have tried two different Bluetooth receivers on my JBL onstage 400P speaker dock. The dock has an Apple 30-pin connector, and the receivers are designed specifically to add Bluetooth connectivity to these kind of docks.
Pairing the receivers with the Edge is no problem. However, the Edge does not remember the settings for the receivers. There's an option in the settings to turn "Media Audio" on or off. The Edge does not remember the last state of the receiver, so when I turn Bluetooth back on, I have to go into the settings and turn Media Audio back to the on position.
Is this a problem for anyone else? Am I doing something wrong?

I'm having nothing but problems with BT on my edge. Especially in my car it rarely autoconnects to my Audi MMI for telephony or the media system for music. When I try to connect to both it messes up the connection to the other or just drops it. Sometimes it just refuses to connect and the only way to resolve is to bounce BT on the phone 1-5 times and if that weren't enough it just randomly shudders or drops out for a minute here and there. I've pulled out my old S4 to verify that my BT devices are fine.
I'm having the same issue with mine. Already have a new one on order. I'm not confident that it is going to be any better with the new phone. I should have the new one later today.
Situation:
when my NOTE 8 is connected to my LEVEL U PRO and i get in my car, phone continuously pups up a screen asking for a password for CAR AUDIO and a notification sound every minute, its disturbing...
(it keeps trying to connect to CAR BT even though they're UnPaired AND phone is still connected to LEVEL U Headphones)
when phone and car are paired, PHONE connects to both devices automatically and i dont want that so i UNpaired them.
my car BT is AlwaysOn and cant turn it off
Question: is there any way to stop this?
Is it possible that it's your car BT that is thinking "I was paired to the Note 8... ah, there is it, hey Note 8 why won't you talk to me?"
I would try flushing your car BT's settings, or if you can't do that, try and pair it to a different phone so that it doesn't keep trying to bother your Note 8.

You Are Right.
seems like my CAR BT has a list of paired devices, that when any of them is in reach it tries to connect to it, so tough i Unpaired CarBT from phone, my car still has it in it's list and tries to connect, but my phone requires password cause I've UnPaired them.
removing my phone from that list SOLVED the problem (the pop up and the notification sound)
BUT, I would better like them to be Paired AND Not Connect Automatically. is this possible in android?
cuz you know when i want to connect to CAR BT i have to PARK and re-enter the password (then they are paired and i have to Unpair and delete device from list again)
it would be nice to have them paired but only connect when i want (for music play)

What happens if you pair them, but switch off the media facility? Then you can just enable/disable the media as and when you want to use it in the car?

I didn't quite understand that, but i think the best solution (for me) is to let my phone connect to both CarBT and LevelU, then i disable call audio for CarBT from my phone's paired device settings.
so CarBT has only Media audio
and LevelU has both Media and call (so both works when im out of car and only connected to LevelU)
then, when i'm in my car and connected to both LEVEL and CAR, i set the audio output (from samsung connect panel on pull-down notification area) to CarBT, but since CarBT doesn't have CallAudio, the music will play on car, but during a call, music is paused and call audio comes from my LevelU just as i wanted
i'll have to test for a while for any flaws...
i think you kinda meant the same thing?

I'm trying to keep is as simple as i can and stay away from Third-Party's
but they are helpful Aps
Hi,
I've recently bought a new car which has Bluetooth but rather stupidly I've just discovered that it can only be used for calls. So what I'd like to do is buy a 2nd Bluetooth receiver and connect it to the cars aux port so that I can stream Spotify to my car. But my question is, could I be connected to both Bluetooth devices at the same time and could I configure one (the cars) for calls and the other (3rd party) for music? If so how would I set this up on the phone?
Many thanks
Yes it could. I'm using it that way
Just disable calls on 1st and disable music on 2nd device

i'd have thought you are just not setting it up right in the car, but i had a Mini loaner that was also somehow only phone use and not music enabled. just weird.
in your bluetooth settings, there's an exclamation mark inside a circle that is used for device-specific settings (as any other phone has as well) that will let you choose phone and/or media for each device.
so your car will be phone only of course, but on your bluetooth receiver, you'd pair it, and you have the option to turn off the phone function for that receiver so that its an audio-only device
