Although my car shows my phone connected when I drive, while I am wearing the gear, any calls are routed through the gear.
I know it has to do with probably only one device can output the calls, but is there any way to go around this ?
Is there a quick way to disconnect the gear from the phone while in the car ? it's just that it's a lot of steps to get into the settings....
Was looking for something simpler and quicker.
Although it would be cool not to actually have it disconnected as I still like to see the notifications without pulling out the phone.
Anyone else with this issue ? Any suggestions...?
Only other thing I thought of is to find a software that would put me a toggle on the screen maybe ?
Thanks

Same here.
Car has inbuilt blue tooth, if I accept via the car, it routes through the car.
I also have no problems. The interesting thing is, I can initiate a call on the gear, and it stays there for about one second, then transfers to the car speakers. Which is where I want it anyway.
I have the same issue on Tmobile S4 4.2, I believe the 4.3 update has different profiles that allow this. Right now I'm stuck to connecting to the Gear or a Headset, I have to choose between the two since they both connect as 'phone audio' under BT settings. Once 4.3 is release in 2018 (LOL) it should be resolved.
I have a similar problem...or worst
My camaro '12, uses 2 BT profiles. One for media audio and the other for phone audio, since the gear also connects to my GS4 using phone audio, my cámaro's infotainment screen frozes until I disconnect the GG to my GS4 or the cars phone audio to my GS4.
I can't even chance the damn A/C temp or speed when that happens. Hahaha

I have connected my LG G3 to the galaxy gear Samsung gear 1.
Everything is fine except that I cannot use both gear and bluetooth connection in my car, whereas, if I am using my Note 3 there is no problem in connecting both.
Wondering if there is a solution so that I can connect both bluetooth and gear to my 3G in my car
I have the same issues. I have a lg g3, galaxy gear 1, and bt headset. If the gear is connected, calls go to gear and not the headset.
When I had my galaxy s5 all was fine.
Anyone have ideas?
*****************************************************
Something else I noticed, it may only happen to others with a lg g3, but if the watch is on and paired, the headphone jack doesn't work.

I don't have a g3 (yet) to test but I think using SQL lite editor and modifying settings.db under the settings app, you can adjust bluetooth priorities. By default priorities are all set to 100. I think if you changed the gear's priority to 99, it may work.

That may be over my head to an extent.
If it was laid out I could do that. But I've never used sql. I just tried and failed pretty bad.

Ok, I'll try to break it down. Hopefully, it works:
1) Get SQLite editor (sounds like you already have it)
2) Scroll down to "Settings Storage" and then select "settings.db"
3) Select global
4) find the entry "bluetooth_headset_priority_<MAC address of Gear>" and select it
5) Click menu > edit record
6) Change the priority from 100 to 99 and save
Hopefully, it helps. Let us know.

Not sure. I would try setting both the gear and your headset to a positive integer and make sure the headset is set higher and see what happens. Not sure if this will work or not but it can't hurt to try.
Try todo rename tour bt headset oer car device the bt device must be on the top and gala y gear under them

I was able to use an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect to set the priority of my Bluetooth devices so when I get in my car it connects to the in car Bluetooth and reconnects to the gear after

I've setup Trigger profiles to do exactly this back when I was on 4.1.2 since multiple devices can't be connected at the same time on that version. From Android 4.3+, multiple BT devices can be connected at the same time and I thought it was at the OS level where the system would use whichever devices answers the call...... I guess it is a function of the Samsung dialer after all.
The Bluetooth keeps disconnecting over and over. I have a Moga Hero, but it won't work because "Bluetooth disconnected" keeps popping on screen. It doesn't matter if the Hero is on or not. No other Bluetooth devices are nearby. I have disabled every possible app I can think of that might be using BT. The S6 is constantly showing "Bluetooth disconnected" popup - it goes away and pops up again over and over. It only shows up when using Gear VR (but I have connection issues with the controller without Gear VR as well).
I'm not rooted and I'm trying to not root if possible (but I am quickly finding too many limitations to being unrooted).
Hero is fully-charged and set to B (or off - the popup still happens when the controller is off). The popup does not happen when BT is off.
If I try to use the Hero controller, sometimes it will show a popup that it is connected. But quickly the "Bluetooth disconnected" popup happens. Occasionally, the controller will connect and work for a minute or so, but I can rarely get it to stay connected at all. Sometimes, the volume pops up with the "Bluetooth disconnected" popup, but sometimes it doesn't. I can't use the Gear VR like this.
I had the same issue with any BT device I tried to connect. I have read a few others with same issue. Must have been a bad batch of BT adapters. I just exchanged mine for a brand new one at the store. New one is fine.

Are you talking about the BT adapter in the controller? I get the "Bluetooth disconnected" popup even when the controller is off. So, the issue seems to be the S6 and/or Gear VR.
Dear all
First post so here goes. Had my 7 plus exactly a week.
Specs as follows:
Model TA 1055
Android 8.1
1st June 2018 Security patch
unrooted but themed with Substratum (Swift Black)
So my phone won't detect either my amazon bluetooth adapter plugged into my bedside radio or my creative bluetooth speakers. My lenovo p2 can find these without issue. Strangely it can connect to my PC's bluetooth which gives a passcode. I've cleared bluetooth cache and still not fixed. Anybody else had bluetooth issues?
TA-1046 here with June patch and I have bluetooth issues as well.
I was not able to connect my Gear S3 smartwatch to my phone, untill I decided to turn off BT and turn it back on again.
Suddenly it worked.
Then I was not able to update my S3 apps from the Samsung App Store, untill I stopped BT and turned it back on again.
It seems to me that there is a BT issues in the June patch.
How it was before, I don't know as I received this phone 2 days ago and it updated automatically to June update.
Sorry for adding more negativity to this forum than assistance.
I am also having similar problem with connecting to my LG sound bar. It picks it up when i search, saves it but does not connect.
BT issues
Well unfortunately I have to say same. BT even can't see any device during scanning. Other devices each between other works. Other devices also see N7+ and can pair with it. Seems like scanning doesn't work for me on N7+.
I tried reset networks, clear BT cache couple of times - didn't changed anything. Still wanna avoid factory reset.
No mods, no root.
I'm bit surprised (in the sad way) by this device :-/
In the meantime BT has worked quite well for a couple of days, untill today.....
I could connect to my Gear S3, but not much later I notice new notifications on my phone but no popup on my watch.
It turned out that BT was not connected anymore.
Manually connected and the same process happens again.
Untill I rebooted my phone. From then on, my watch stayed paired with the phone and didn't loose connection.

I lose the connection to my Gear S3 several times a day.

Try resetting your Gear S3 to factory defaults and remove BT settings on phone.
(also clear BT cache).
I had to set up my watch a couple of times.
Still it disconnects sometimes, but then a normal reboot of the phone helps to get the connection back.
Submitted this to another thread, but I'll copy paste it here.
I recently got Bluetooth headphones and found that playback easily got choppy if a part of my body was in between my headset and phone, or if the phone got locked. I did find a solution to this however, and not sure if it would work for everyone that has Bluetooth issues as well.
It seems as if Bluetooth has its own app on Android 8.1, and due to this, it's getting managed by Doze or the automatic app power saving that's on by default. I switched off battery management using the following steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Apps & Notifications
3. Tap on the option that says "See all x apps"
4. Tap on the top right hand 3 dots.
5. Tap on "Show system"
6. Scroll down until you find "Bluetooth" and tap on it
7. Tap on Battery
8. Tap on Battery Optimisation
9. Press the blue dropdown that should say "Not optimised", and select "All apps"
10. Find Bluetooth again, tap on it.
11. Optimise should be ticked, tick "Don't Optimise" instead, then press Done.
My Nokia 7 plus cannot find other Bluetooth devices.
I cleared cache, went to battery optimisation settings, ticked on the Bluetooth icon and selected *"Don't optimise"* turned on my Bluetooth to search for other devices and still this same problem persists. Can't find other Bluetooth devices including phones, tablets and headsets. I'm really confused on why there should be such a problem. I don't want to Reset to Factory settings. But I'm not being left with any other choice. I'm so upset that I have to spend so much and yet other cheap phones can search for other devices so easily.. please I need a solution immediately
After I had an iphone for 5 years, I'm now back at Android once again.
I noticed I don't like everything, for example the Bluetooth settings.
I paired my A6 with my car radio for handsfree conversations. But I have to enter a 4 digit code about every week now. Which annoys me so much. I paired it once with my iphone and after that I never had to pair it again. Now my A6 keeps on telling me to pair it about every week.
So my question is : a samsung employee wrote me a message saying it is a security setting. How can I change this setting to never ask again, or, let's say, once per 6 months?
I hope some whizzkid has a solution to solve this annoying situation for me.
And in addition to this: how can I disable the popup screen showing the available Bluetooth devices when I turn on bluetooth?
I only want it to connect to paired devices automatically, I don't want to see a popup which I have to close.
Hi,
What happen if you reboot your device ?
Did you lost all paired devices or not ?
So I have had Bluetooth connection issues with my new phone. I can pair with most devices properly but can not auto reconnect. Sometimes I can manually force a connection but may not get both media and phone.
Most frustrating is my car 2014 Subaru forester with a standard button stereo (factory). Worked fine with my note 9. The s21 will connect and work once, if I turn off the car and start back up it won't connect. I can go to the settings, Bluetooth, and tap on the stereo and 1 in 5 times it will connect. Most times it will only connect media and not phone. If I hit the gear I can hit the slider for phone and it will buzz and turn back off. 5 to 10 cycles of this it will connect both. It's great to waste 5 minutes every time I start my car to just get my phone to connect.
I have reset the network settings and that yielded nothing, cleared the phone cache, and finally wiped and reset the phone. Nothing has helped.
