My phone will connect to my bluetooth device, but there won't be any audio going to it at first. I have to turn off bluetooth and then turn it back on for it to work properly. I must do this everytime.
Also, each bluetooth device use to save the volume levels. For instance when it's connected to my car it will be max volume, but when it's connected to my headphones it will be at the level I set it at from before. It no longer does that.
Any reason why?

So I use bluetooth for both phone and music in my car but my phone pairs to two separate devices. For the phone it pairs to my Audi MMI system and does so correctly every time. For the audio I have it pair with my Blackberry Stereo gateway which is hard wired into my aux input.
The issue I'm having is that if I'm connected in both Headset (Audi) and a2dp (Blackberry gateway) modes, the music will start to skip after a minute or two. It works completely fine for a few minutes, then I believe the phone is going into some sort of sleep state as it'll begin skipping fairly often. If I turn the screen back on, the skipping goes away. The strange part is that if I disconnect the pairing with the phone, the skipping never happens. It's almost as if there is enough juice in awake mode to correctly power both bluetooth connections, but if it's in some form of low power sleep mode, it's not able to handle both connections so the bluetooth audio skips.
I've also found that if I'm paired to both, the call quality over bluetooth is slightly lower with a bit of crackling/garbling, but not nearly as bad as what I get with the audio. I can deal with the phone side of the issue, but I can't listen to music that skips every 5 seconds.
Anyone else have this issue? I wish I could set it so the phone wouldn't sleep when paired to both devices! I don't mind a bit more battery drain while in the car if my phone is actually usable for what I want to do with it.
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.
I have a bluetooth speaker at home, and also use bluetooth in my car.
Whenever I get in my car, and start listening to music in the garage, it will usually start playing on the speaker in the living room.
I have to manually disconnect, and then reconnect the car's bluetooth.
Also, I might be watching a video on my phone, and the living room speaker will all the sudden connect. I want to avoid this as well.
I could disconnect the speaker, but it will just reconnect on its' own later.
I feel like there should be a way to designate a device to never connect automatically, and only ever connect when I request it.
Also, ideally, allow one device to kick the other one off. So, when my phone detects the car, it should disconnect any other devices.
I hope I explained the problem well.
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?
Hello,
Having a few bluetooth issues with the pixel 3.
1. Got some cheapy totu bluetooth headphones. In most cases on switching bluetooth on, the pixel 3 will not automatically conect to the headphones, I have to go to 'previous devices' and do it manually. Sometimes it will connect automatically but this is rare
2. In the night if i have had bluetooth connected, the phone will connect with my car bluetooth but i cant make calls, its just goes dead...I have to reboot the phone to make it work correctly
Any ideas ? Many thanks
Android Auto beeps 2-5 times before connecting to my car bluetooth...
