Smart Lock Problem - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have the Smart Lock feature turned on and set to keep my phone unlocked whenever a trusted device is connected, which in my case is my bluetooth headphones.
However, I realize that when I disconnect my bluetooth headphones, Smart Lock still keeps the phone unlocked until I manually turn off Bluetooth.
I have experienced this issue from Oreo and it didn't seem to be fixed after updating to Pie.
Is this normal operation of Smart Lock, and if it is, is there any way to configure this setting, or is this a bug?
Thanks.

Not normal. I keep Bluetooth on all day, since I have a Gear S3 watch. I have smart lock set to stay unlocked when connected to my Bluetooth in my Jeep and it works perfect. Once I shut off the Jeep, the screen lock goes back to normal.

Bluetooth On-Off

Dear all,
i have downgraded to WM03SE and i have noticed that when i tried to use the bluetooth, if the devices goes to stand by mode the bluetooth goes off and when i power on the device it became on again, but if my bluetooth head set was connected and the device goes on stand by mode the bluetooth does not turned off. so i will post my registry file to anybody who can search for the difference.

A2DP turns off sound on disconnect

I recently bought a Motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headset. It's paired with my Tilt, and connects and works great (though the range is pretty crappy).
I run my Tilt in Vibrate mode, so both phone and PDA volumes are at zero with vibrate turned on.
When the A2DP headphones connect, they automatically turn the volume up, which turns off vibrate mode. No problem.
But when the headphone DISconnect, they automatically put the volume back where it was (zero), but fail to turn vibrate back on. So unless I manually fix it every time, I don't get any notifications, even for an incoming call.
Is there any fix for this?
I'm running the stock 6.0 ROM.
Thanks!
I have had the same problem with my normal bluetooth headset. I am running the stock 6.1 rom. From what I can find, there is nothing that can be done. I use a cradle with a speaker phone in my car because of it. I am not sure if there is a problem with cooked roms or not. Good luck.

Screen unlocks with bluetooth

I use my tab as a phone a lot with a bluetooth headset.
The problem I have is when I answer calls using the bluetooth headset, and the phone in my back pocket the screen unlocks causing buttons on screen to get pressed acidentally.
Is the any way to stop the screen unlocking when answering calls with the bluetooth headset?

[Q] Is there a way to prevent Bluetooth from switching off if no device connected?

Is there a way to prevent BT from switching off if no device is connected? Apart from some Automate/Tasker loop I mean.
I'd rather keep it enabled all the time.
Thanks
Sounds like a OxygenOS feature, on LineageOS it stays on until I switch it off. It does drain quite a lot of power to have Bluetooth always on though, just a warning. ?

Note 9 started calling self upon Bluetooth pairing

So here's a wierd one. Have a SM-N960U1 on Android 9. Everything's been fine but as of last Friday every time it pairs with a Bluetooth device (headphones, car, etc.) it starts calling itself? I re-paired all devices, turned BT off and back on, restarted phone, etc., but this behavior persists. Music is also terrible during this time, but realized by accident when I press Device Care widget to optimize phone the BT device announces 'Call Ending', and music again sounds great. However there's no record of any outgoing call in Phone App. I didn't realize what # was being called until I got in my car and saw it was dialing itself, but again, this phantom call does not show up in Recent Calls history? Any ideas?
I have had the same issue for the last week. Have tried everything to fix it, but nothing has worked. I am hoping someone out there can come up with a solution.
