Note 8 keeps trying to connect to another BT device - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

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?

Problem with BT headset

This may have been talked about before but my search didnt come up with anything so i thought i'd ask
i have a sony bluetooth headset and when i make and recieve calls it works fine
when i listen to music it comes out of the speaker on the phone
i guess this is a known 'problem' .. is there a setting somewhere i need to set
thanks in advance guys
To get standard audio thru the headset it has to support Wireless Stereo otherwise it will only work as a voice command/phone unit.
If you have a BT headset such as the Promate PM-2006 (which looks like a small pair of headphones with a mike) when paired to the phone it will show two profiles, 'Hands Free' and 'Wireless Stereo'
To set up audio thru this headset you go to 'Settings' 'Bluetooth' 'Devices', hold the stylus on the paired device you want to use and select 'Set as Wireless Stereo from the small drop down menu.
yeah i have both wireless stereo AND hands free selected .. thats what was confusing
Just to be sure...
You need to select both profiles when you first pair it.
But every time you want to listen to audio through it you need to go and select it for 'Wireless Stereo'. The phone then connects to the headset for that purpose.
Hope that's clear.
cheers .. i'll take a look at that ..
seems a bit crap tho eh??
Same on all windows devices, you have to tell them to play the audio through BT whereas a phone is listening for a headset.
True, a quick connect button would be much more help and I am sure if you search around you can find one.
ive got a paitr of motorola ht820's they just automatically pair up and sort out the myusic and calls when i turn bluetooth on however, they dont play nice when wifi is turned on

Bluetooth Wireless Stereo

Hi folks,
I've successfully paired the Kaiser with a Blaupunkt car stereo, but my issue is that if I want to use it as a Bluetooth stereo, I have to delete the coupling and re-pair it every time I get into the car. Is there any way around this?
Cheers.
I have this problem with my Motorola Ht820 Headphones. I found that a solution for me is to leave my bluetooth ON. It must delete the settings when you turn bluetooth off or something.
Give it a go and let us know if that works. I know it's not the best way round it, but I've come to terms with it owning a Kaiser
EDIT: I think you can even turn off the phone, as long as you leave your Bluetooth ON, your Kaiser should re-sync OK without haveing to Re-pair.

As far as I can tell, the basic 'hands free' function is maintained when I reset either the phone or the car stereo, but the 'wireless stereo' function does not. This means that it activates when I make/receive a call, but not when I launch TomTom or Audio Manager. It's pretty inconvenient, eh?

Strange.... My Motorola headset retains it's wireless stereo function, as long as I keep bluetooth turned on...
Go into the bluetooth settings, do a right click (long hold tap), and "make this my wireless stereo" or something like that. Works everytime for me with my car stereo.

Car stereo hijacks bluetooth media connection

I have a Pioneer car stereo with built in Parrot bluetooth and media connection. I had this issue with my previous phone so it must be either an Android issue or problem with my car stereo bluetooth. Every time I connect bluetooth to the car stereo the phone enables media connectivity and I have to manually go in and turn it off again. Sometimes I have to turn it on and off again as it says it's connected even though it isn't (tick box is ticked but if I untick it it connects and I have to untick it again and OK it to verify). Also if I disconnect it then cycle through the sources on the car stereo as soon as I get to bluetooth it enables it again.
I don't want it on because I want to hear media audio through the phone speakers and phone calls through the car stereo.
Android 4.1.2 at present.

I think the answer lies in the question here,, Parrot Bluetooth Media Connection.
The stereo isn't 'smart' enough to determine that what is connecting to it is a Phone/MP3 and as such you wont be able to split the audio to have the phone play music and the Stereo take calls, it'll end up being one over the other.
One way around this would be to test with a completely different Bluetooth Headset to see if this allows music to be played on the Device and Calls to come through on the Headset,, failing that its going to have to be a potential dev jobby to split how the device sends its audio and to what specific device,,, if that lies with HTC and Android/Us or Pioneer/Parrot themselves,, might be worth asking whats the official standpoint on this with the Manufacturer and see if they are getting this same issue from multiple folks

I have the same problem with my HTC One across four different ROMs, two GE and two Sense.
It's NOT an issue with my car stereo (uConnect system) as it works flawlessly on my Nexus 7 and VZW Galaxy Nexus. I prefer to have media (music, Ingress etc...) play over the phone. Only thing I want to play over the uConnect is the actual phone. No matter how many times I unselect media in the bluetooth settings it selects it again.
I see this is an old thread, anyone have any ideas?
Nope. It does not always do it though. I found that if I leave bluetooth on it seems to be OK just as long as I don't switch through from aux to radio to CD and back to USB again on the Pioneer. If I use the automatic bluetooth app to save battery it connects but then connects with the media option enabled. Bummer.

I've just installed Bluetooth Auto Connect have to go run some errands in a little while, I'll let you know if it helps out managing profiles or not.
If it works let me know what settings you used as I don't understand all the options lol.
bluetooth problem
Hi developers: Thanks Team Venom for a great ROM. I have only one problem. Rom 2.7 no problem with Bluetooth in the car. 3.1 Installation of clean and dirty disables bluetooth. Ten seconds connected and then disconnected. Again, connects and disconnects. So it all over again. It is in version 3.6 ... any change BT software? You can install the software separately BT? Or any other advice? Thank you very much
edit: I deleted the original settings in the car. Again the connection and still the same problem.

Interesting thing I discovered with Chromecast app and bluetoooth headset

I discovered that when using my bluetooth headsets with my phone the Chromecast icon appears in supported apps and clicking it will toggle audio from my BT headset/headphones to my device and back.
Nothing major but I found it interesting. Normally I'd have to turn of the BT headset or go into BT settings to accomplish this. Comes in handy if you are listening privatly to YouTube or something and want to share with someone.
Haven't tested a call so not sure if calls would still be to the headset or not, or just media audio.
I noticed the same thing last weekend. I also noticed another oddity: Once I connected to the bluetooth headset, it wouldn't allow me to cast back to my Chromecast again. Each time I'd hit the cast icon, it would toggle between the speaker and the headset, but I couldn't seem to make it go to the TV. I seem to recall I had to either turn off bluetooth on my Note 2, or reboot the phone entirely before it would let me cast to the TV again.

Just tried it and at first it one gave me the choice between mt BT device and my Tablet, but less than a minute later it started to show the Chromecast as an option and it worked.
If I'm off the Network my Chromecast is on the button only works to goggle audio between my BT and Device (Phone/Tablet).

Bluetooth Bug

This only happens in my car but...
When I start the car, my handset connects.b, but the music will not play through the car. To get it to work, I have to wait until the car connects with my phone, then turn BT off and on again. Every time. Anyone else suffering from this.
My Bluetooth is working with my car. This is normal procedure that it will take a couple second to sync phone with car system. So even after a 1 minute even you load up Pandora radio or anything, it wont play on your car's stereo ? do you get any error message on phone ? The only thing which i noticed is missing artist and song title tag on my car's screen. I think it is caused by Pandora radio, cause when I restart Pandora, it will work fine. Try to reset your phone or 1st delete Bluetooth car sync profile and re-sync again. Good luck.
Do you have a Bluetooth headset connected when you connect to your car?
If so, go in to your BT device profiles on the phone, open up your headset, and disable media audio.

No message on the phone. I play though Google Music and on the phone it looks like it is playing as normal. I'm only using a simple BT device that conects through the aux port as Ford want a small fortune to supply the bluetooth adapter. I'll have a little play though, thanks for the advice.

No headset connected, nothing else via BT in range to connect to. I'll see if I can find anything else in the profiles though.
Maybe it's Google music. I will try to play music whatever it's store on your memory. I know it seems stupid but it's good to try it. I tried my nexus on my friend's car and no issues. He own Audi, I got Hyundai with navigation. Anyway there is not a lot settings regarding Bluetooth. Like I said before, might be worth to reset phone .
I have a similar issue and it is only with my car as well. It pairs up, the bluetooth audio controls on the stereo come up, but it doesn't play unless I hit play on the phone. After that, I can skip tracks, pause, etc. This happens about 90% of the time, to the point where it almost catches me off guard when it works like it is supposed to. This did not happen with my previous phone (HTC One M8) or any of the iPhone versions I had before it.
