[Q] Bluetooth device management? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you know of any application that manages your bluetooth connections?
Here's what I'm talking about, I have bluetooth headphones, several speakers and my car that all are connected to my phone and I'm having several small issues.
- As soon as I turn on bluetooth it tries to automatically tries to connect to these certain speakers, I don't want that and don't know how to stop it.
- If I'm in my car, my phone connected to my car for calls and I'm listening to music through the headphone jack but it will automatically connect to a set of bluetooth speakers in my home when get home and pull into the driveway. So music will play through those speakers instead of my headphone jack. I obviously don't want that either.
-Titanium Backup never restores my bluetooth connection either so if there is an application that can save those too that would be helpful.

[Q] Bluetooth Help

So I recently got this bluetooth audio receiver (got for 15 bucks off dailysteals) for my car so I can play audio through bluetooth using an aux port. However every time I restart my car I have to manually reconnect my phone to the music bluetooth device because it does not auto reconnect. But, when I turn on the car, the cars integrated bluetooth (car bluetooth only can play call audio not music audio) does reconnect to the phone. Is there a way that I can tell my phone to reconnect to the bluetooth music receiver when it connects to the cars bluetooth so I don't have to keep reconnecting the bluetooth receiver that receives the music. I know the galaxy s3 can connect to both at the same time because I have done it before manually.
Thanks for the help

[Q] Bluetooth issue - other bluetooth apps?

Hello all
One of the issues I have with Bluetooth on this phone is that the controls aren't granular enough. I want to be able to make and answer phone calls in my car using the Bluetooth connectivity, however, when I turn Bluetooth on, Google Now and Maps also try to send their audio to the car speakers, and either A) you can barely hear the voice, or B) it doesn't work at all and I hear nothing (this is especially true when I'm playing other music media in the car that isn't coming from the phone).
Is there any way (or is there an app) that can redirect Google Now and Maps to continue to use the phone speaker, while phone calls can go through the car? Right now it seems like it's the same setting to control both phone calls and audio output from apps.

New Bluetooth Media issue

I think I found a bug with Pixel BT. I use two BT connections, one to my car head unit directly for phone calls and the other to an Astell&Kern high quality BT receiver for music. In settings media is turned off for the car connection, and phone is turned off for the music BT.
The problem is that the media BT receiver will not connect automatically unless I turn back on the phone setting. Which kind of defeats the purpose.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this -- make it connect automatically without phone BT enabled?

Is it capable of connecting bluetooth to multiple phone+media devices?

I can't find a way to have both my headset and car stereo connected at the same time without changing the bluetooth profiles in settings. Samsung s8 can do this automatically/natively. both bluetooth devices show connected for phone and media audio.
I use a bluetooth headset on my oneplus 6 (trialing it) during working hours for calls and music.. when i get in my car, I sometimes make calls on my headset... but in between calls, I want to listen to music on my car stereo. That's fine.... IF i remove media audio bluetooth profile from my headset first...
But wait..... Sometimes I want to transfer the call from my headset to my car stereo, and/or vice versa. I don't want to change the Bluetooth profile manually every single time i want to use a different device which I have been having to do.
Pretty please can you try connect your nex to 2 devices that have phone and media capabilities and see if you can connect them both at the same time? If so... try and switch calls between the 2 without changing any settings in the bluetooth? Will you take a screenshot of the bluetooth settings page once they are connected too? I appreciate your time.
Only Samsung is making what you want. (Afair)
Yes, you can pair two Bluetooth devices at a time but only one can be used/selected for calling. If you want to pair two Devices of this type you have to disable Media or Calling for the first connected devices. Then the other one is connecting fine.
I use this in my car. Bluetooth streams music to a FM Transmitter and is connected to my car for calls. In this case (when one device is detected as media only) you can connect the Calling devices without a flaw.

Pick Bluetooth Audio

Is there a easy way without opening up Bluetooth connections to disconnect my Bluetooth headset ?
The problem is I maybe playing a game and listening to audio from the game and for some reason the headset kicks in. "The On/Off switch of my Bluetooth handset is not great"
I lose my Audio my phone, then I got to open the Bluetooth connections and disconnect the headset.
Sometimes I want the device to ignore Bluetooth accessories and just use the internal speaker; my old OnePlus this was easy but not so much with the Pixel 4a.
Got to be so annoying I am thinking about buying a new headset.
