should be doable, but it depends on the app that accesses the heart-rate monitor as what type of device it's being addressed.
I know, because I use a BackBeat 903 headset for "phone" connection and a Motorola T505 for "Audio" connection, which pipes my music from my N1 into my car stereo via FM. When a call comes in, the Music stops/pauses and the N1 switches the call into my BT headset. After the call is done, the music continues via the T505/car-stereo.
According to bluetooth specs (if i recall right) Bluetooth can handle 7 devices at once/parallel connected
Thanks for the reply...
had problems with my 2days old galaxynote. I tried connecting to pioneer and afterr inputting passcode it got paired. However after i tried connecting it showed paired but no sound came out from my car speakers, is there a way to let it auto connect? My incar unit is a pioneer 4150 witn built in gps f
(my iphondr work flawlessly n auto connect.)
everything was all fun and well when i got the gear this past weekend. always connected to phone and everything. However today I got in my car, the phone connect to the bluetooth audio as usual, and I get an alert on the gear saying its been disconnected. I messed around with it and discovered that my note 3 can only connect to either the gear's call audio or the car's call audio, not both at the same time. (it can connect to the gear's call audio and the car's media audio though) The car connection takes priority every time. I figure I can live with that but when I get out of my car, the gear doesn't auto reconnect to my phone. I know auto-reconnect works because it does that with my car but how can I get the gear to do that as well?
thanks
In my car, I have the ability to connect my phone via Bluetooth, but onky for phone calls. I cannot play music over Bluetooth. However, I have an iPod dock in the car. I was looking into buying a 30-pin to Bluetooth adapter. Would I be able to connect my Note 4 to my car's Bluetooth for phone calls, and the 30-pin to Bluetooth adapter for music at the same time?
Generally speaking yes. Unless they use the same profile, then you can have issues.
Hi,
I have a Nexus 6 (stock 5.1, rooted but no other system modifications), a pair of Philips Fidelio M2BT Bluetooth headphones and a Watch Urbane (fully stock). When I connect the headphones to the phone with the watch already connected I get no media sound in the headphones even though they connect successfully. If I look go to the Bluetooth settings the headphones are listed as "Connected (no media)". Sometimes the sound is played on the phone speakers and sometimes nowhere. I can usually get around this by first disconnecting the watch in the Wear app before connecting the headphones and then the watch. Sometimes I also need to turn Bluetooth off and back on before starting to reconnect the devices and sometimes I need to reboot the phone. I've used the phone and headphones together for half a year with no issues whatsoever. Also note that I'm not trying to connect the headphones to the watch but to the phone.
Anyone else seeing similar behavior? Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

I don't have my Urbane yet, so I'm not sure if I can help. But when the phone is connected to the Urbane, can you edit the Bluetooth connection on the phone to ensure that it's not taking audio (I know it doesn't have speaker, but is it taking the Media Audio Profile?)

Thanks for the suggestion but no, the Urbane is listed only as a "raw" Bluetooth device, i.e. there are no check boxes for profiles in it's Bluetooth settings. In fact it's never listed as connected at all in the Bluetooth device list. I figured that this is some kind of Android Wear quirk but it's my first Wear device so I'm not sure.
I have the watch and my bluetooth speaker in the car and I have had no issues using both of them. I also have a third bluetooth USB adapter connected to the USB of my car that allows me to stream music and no issue with it either. I have the OnePlus One with custom firmware running Lollipop 5.1.1
My bluetooth speaker only has "Phone Audio" checked (no other options), the bluetooth USB stick has the "phone audio" unchecked and the "Media Audio" checked, and the Urbane does not have a check mark option.
Try updating the Android Wear app.. they released some update yesterday that might help fix your issue.

Thanks for the info. The new wear app didn't make any difference but the fact that you have a couple of Bluetooth audio devices working flawlessly made me start suspecting my headphones instead of the watch - didn't really know where to start so I picked the watch since it's the latest addition. Searched around a bit and realized that others were having connectivity problems with them too, especially when using them with multiple devices (fantastic headphones in every other aspect). This review was really interesting and the tip about how to reset the headphones did the trick for me. Not a great solution as I probably need to repeat it after using them with other devices than my phone but at least I now know that the watch is not to blame - it was just the trigger for some bug in the crappy headphone Bluetooth implementation.
