Is anyone able to automatically connect to a bluetooth device from your captivate? I am using a sony bluetooth receiver a2dp profile so it's basically functioning like a bluetooth headset.
Pairing works. Manually connecting works. But it would be great if the captivate automatically connected to the bluetooth receiver as soon as i turn on bluetooth. It takes almost five clicks to manually connect but only one to turn on bluetooth.

I have a similar problem in that the phone will sometimes "forget" the bluetooth devices that it has been paired with. I then have to do the pairing all over again.
I'm having the same problem - if I turn the phone off & back on again, it won't connect to my car. The bluetooth menu still shows that it's paired, but it won't connect (even if I try to manually connect). The only way to get it to connect again is to turn bluetooth off & back on - then it connects automatically.
Mine connects right away.
I think it is relate to not being able to set the bluetooth to always visable. My fuze had the same problem untill I put the energy rom on it.
I'm having the same trouble. I have to click on the Connect option which is buried in the Bluetooth menu. Annoying.
Are you using a task manager or some sort of helper to keep battery usage low? I found I was having a blue tooth problem until I saw a OPP service pop up on my task manager. Every time I killed apps I had blue tooth problems until I set this service to be ignored and left alone. Now even after I shut off the phone and turn it back on, I quickly connect to my blue tooth headset.
I'm just a noob here and I am thankful to everyone who posts who have helped me so i thought I's throw this out as something to check on.

Anyone else seeing some odd behavior with bluetooth pairings? I keep on having to re-pair with my laptop (Win 7 64x) and my car (Audi S4). Complete pain.
I use it with my computer (Win 7 32-bit) and my Motorola bluetooth headset, no problems since I first paired each (sometime in July).
I have the same issue at times....quite frustrating and I have found no way to stop it from happening....
Yep. I get this too. My only fix has been to turn off my plantronics earpiece and when turned back on it connects.

It used to work fine for me with stock build. Now on JH3 I have the issue...

I am JH3 as well, FWIW. Dunno if JF6 gave me the same problem. I now have 3 of the same device in my Win7 BT folder. I also remember seeing the BT settings reverting to old ones.
Problem I keep on having is that the media profile, or A2DP, setting won't enable when I turn on my stereo bluetooth headset. It'll sometimes reestablish the media profile if I keep on turning off and on the bluetooth setting on the phone and headset, but most of the time I just end up having to re-pair my it. Would be awesome to know if anyone knew how to fix this.

I suppose I should just throw in there...I never had the problem with JF6. I'm running JH7 now and still have not experienced it, will report if I notice anything.
More Info
While I don't have a solution, I have researched this problem a bit.
In my experience the problem happens when I disable the phone capability of a device.
For instance, I have a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that I can make calls with, as well as listen to music and other audio.
If I edit the profile and disable the phone function, the whole device disappears from my phone if I reboot it. If I leave the phone option enabled, it does not disappear.
Disabling the media option does not appear to have any affect as long as the phone option remains active.
My rom is stock.
The pairings don't disappear, but my motorrokr s9-hd disconnects and I have to restart the player and then press the headsets connect button. Just hitting the connect button only activates the display, but doesn't start the player. The way the headset connects just isn't right.
There are things like the headset disconnects and the browser crashing, that sometimes don't happen for days and then will happen repeatedly in minutes.
I do hope that froyo fixes some of these problems...
I have some similar problems. I have a Spracht AURA Mobile BT Speakerphone in my car and I don't use it that often but when I turn it on it doesn't seem to keep the pairing every time. It worked fine with my TouchPro on WinMo.
Another strange thing is that when it is working and I turn off the BT on the phone then come back in the car and turn it on again and it pairs, it immediately starts redialing the last number I called. VERY annoying. Fortunately I've caught it every time but I don't know why it would do that.
So I am running Vegan 5.1(Which I love), and I just got a new Bluetooth headset which I tried to connect to my tablet so i can play music to my headset during class, however to connect you need to set up with a "0000" pin, which my tablet never asks for. It just says "paired, not connected" and will never connect cause it cant without sending the security pin, is there a way to enable this in vegan 5.1?
Well it depends on the bluetooth you bought because some don't need the pairing code if your in pairing mode hopefully it is A2DP compatible because that's the only way to get music to the headset
My motorola s9 headset said paired but not connected then I long pressed it and I got some other options including connect. The next time it paired automatically but my tab is crashing (and it did) so the very next time after that I had to actually type the pair key 0000 after the long press.
I need to wipe and reinstall everything but I am just waiting till it is totally unusable.

I've done long press and i only have 3 options: Connect, Unpair, Options. Options just has Connect and use device for audio options, but neither let teh device connect nor give the option to enter the pin. Any ideas?
I am running vegan mod, so when you click connect it doesn't? That seems odd... removed dumb question.
I realize this thread is a couple of weeks old but I am having a similar problem and wondered if you ever figured it out.
I am able to connect to my headset and use it to listen. However I have a Creative D100 bluetooth speaker that won't work. It will connect but as soon as I close settings and then start playing music or videos it drops the connection.

or you can use supermono pro
it sends any sound through bluetooth.
i use it for my music and pandora on my phone.
unfortunely my headset wont connect either. what i did to get it to connect is this:
make discoverable
unpair
long press on device and press connect and pair
i can get the pin this way but mine still wont connect. just paired ;(
It is an A2DP speaker. Works great with my Iphone but would love to be able to use it with my gtab for watching Netflix and Hulu through Playon.
It connects fine the connection indicator on the speaker even comes on but as soon as I try to play any type of media the connection drops.
Figured it out. It works fine if I am connected via wifi. If I'm tethered to my phones ad hoc network The bluetooth speaker drops the connection. Guess bluetooth doesn't like ad hoc networks
Hi ppl,
I'm having issues with bluetooth on mytouch4g phone.
To connect it to hands free set I have to every time turn off and then turn on bluetooth on my phone.
Anyone have similar issue?
Is there a setting somewhere to set default device?
Thanks
Do you mean "Hands free mode" or do you mean pairing a stereo BT headset?
With the stock OS -- "Hands free mode" can be set by either 1) starting the Car Dock application, or 2) Using the BT headset phone button or the Genius button to enable speech commands, and saying "Hands Free On" once the phone is ready.
With the stock OS -- pairing of the phone occurs automatically whether the phone or headset is powered up first. Pairing of media (for stereo headsets) will only occur automatically with any degree of regularity -- from experimentation and observation by others, reported on forums like this -- if the phone's BT is powered up =after= the headset. One can manually disable and enable media connectivity after long pressing on the device in the BT settings window, and that will establish the media connection -- but it is probably easier to have a BT power toggle on your home page somewhere.
If neither of these answers the question you were asking, please rephrase it. And of course, for a custom ROM (non-stock OS), ask in the appropriate ROM's thread in the development subforum.
I mean bluetooth at car. I'm able to pair my phone with car and connect with no issues.
If I get into the car with my phone and bt on - it will not establish connection. I have to turn off bt on the phone and turn it back on. Then it will establish connection. It works fine with my old Fuze.

Hey there, just wondering if anyone has a solution to a bluetooth auto connect issue. My problem is that no matter what bluetooth device I connect my phone to, it will work fine until I turn bluetooth off on the phone. When I turn bluetooth back on it will try to reconnect, but just hangs there.
For example, I pair my phone to my car, listen to music no problem, then when I get home I turn bluetooth off to save battery. Then if I get back into my car later and switch bluetooth on, it refuses to auto connect, even though the car bluetooth is still listed as a paired device on the phone. This also happens with my bluetooth headphones! It won't even connect if I manually try in the bluetooth settings page, I have to manually unpair and repair again and the process starts all over again.
I'm using DoomLords Stock 4.3 on an XperiaT. Anybody got any ideas??

Guys, I have a BT device in my car that is connected to my car audio system. I've set up my nexus 5 to connect to it, and it works great, but there is one flaw - the phone won't auto connect to it when I turn it on, I will have to turn BT off and back on on my phone for it to discover the car BT and then it will immediately connect to it. *I always leave the BT on on my nexus5 in hopes that it will auto connect but in never does, only auto connected about 4 times out of the dozens of times iv'e used it. any ideas?

I don't know if this is a flaw with your Bluetooth device or your phone. I have some devices that auto-connect and some that don't. I doubt you car BT device will have many options (if any) but maybe check and see (if you haven't already) if it has an auto-connect option or something along those lines.
Do you have any other BT devices you can test connecting and disconnecting to/from like you would your car? Eliminate if it's the stereo or your phone. You could also using something like Tasker and create a profile to do what you want. Just a thought.
Hope this helps.
It's most likely the fault of your cars Bluetooth system. Some just don't reliably autoconnect. Try a kinivo bt module 40 bucks on Amazon, works perfectly.

Hey buddy, thanks for the thoughtful reply, I'll try and see if I can find another BT device to test my phone with. One thing I did test today, that I don't do every day, is to turn my phone BT off and back on BEFORE turning on the BT device I have in my car, then I turned the device on, and it connected immediately.. This shows its more likely to be a fault with the phone..

I'll try and find it on ebay, Amazon does ship to my country but for some reason the shipping cost is the same or sometimes more than the item itself..
my BT device connects to phone on power up, e.g. when start car
Well, today it auto connected, I got in my car with my son, and didn't have a chance to unlock the phone to check if it connected to the BT, but when I checked, about 20 minutes after getting in my car, the BT was connected. this got me thinking maybe there's a connection delay, when I'll leave work today I'll see if it'll connect on it's own after leaving it alone.

I use PlayerPro to autostart playing when bluetooth is connected. It's better than PowerAmp.

Mine won't auto connect to bluetooth until I've gotten far enough from my house that my phone disconnects from WiFi. Maybe this was what you experienced too? I'm unsure.
