bluetooth related problem - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi, When my phone disconnect from my car bluetooth, wifi goes off, sound to mute and bluetooth to off...... anyone ever experience this? But not every time, like 2 time out of 3. doen't seem to do it when disconnecting my pebble..... and didn't do it when I just went to car and connect and disconnected from the car audio. But did it just as it connected the first time to car......
google didn't not help me much so far. gonna try to refine my search but any hint would be appreciated

Any thoughts ? Does not seem to be related to Bluetooth as it happened during lunch, middle of it, pebble buzz, from disconnection, Wi-Fi is off, Bluetooth is off, and sound is turn to vibration....... have to manually put them back to original setting.
Edit: Just happened right after a reboot

Automatically connecting to bluetooth receiver?

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.

Keep Losing Bluetooth Pairings

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.

[Q] Help with a few issues

Love my infuse, but there are a few quirks that drive me up the friggin wall about it and I'm wondering if there are any quick/easy (or even not so quick/easy) fixes for them'
1. Wifi refuses to reconnect to a known network if I leave the range of the network and then come back. I know the phone has wifi issues that are detailed here, but I haven't seen that one specifically.
2. Bluetooth will not reconnect to a known device that it has been (and is still) paired with. Every time I want to use bluetooth audio in the car (via my sony head unit) I have to turn on bluetooth, go to settings, and then network/connection settings and find the head unit and click on it. It would be quicker/easier to use an aux cable at this point. Every other phone I've had would auto-connect.
3. Bluetooth audio quality. Sounds very tinny, no bass to it what-so-ever
Would appreciate any help
Some info would help... are you stock? If not, what are you running?
If I didn't turn on bluetooth before I started my truck, I had the same problem with the bt connection. I think the problem was with the stereo not looking again for the bt signal. If I turned off the stereo then turned it back on everything was fine. Hope that helps.
Edit: I have a sony unit also.
Oops, sorry I mean to include that I am on Infused 1.6
Had these issues even with the stock ROM though. Was thinking about trying a GB as some people seem to have better luck with the wifi but not sure about the BT.
Thanks for the tip fishjam, I'll try turning on BT before the stereo.

Same issue on stock. I created a tasker profile that flips the wifi on and off when wifi disconnects and it helps but doesn't cure it. I think part of the problem is that the phone "holds on" to connections that aren't really there. For instance according to tasker my wifi strength will be 1 but I won't actually be able to use it yet the phone insists it is still connected when you are at the fringe of wifi range. I may tinker more when I have time as I was looking at the tasker forums and you can parse out data from the info page. I may try to just have it connect/disconnect when the signal strength is 2 or less. My main issue is at work with multiple waps as I make my way through the facility.
Was able to get the bluetooth to reconnect to my head unit by leaving it on, or turning it on before starting the car as mentioned above. Thanks for that, much much better now. If only I could fix the damn wifi issues!
Does turning wifi off and back on solve the wifi issue?

Check your settings for checking wifi my auto connects if I leave and come back but it won't untilled the interval has ended IE if the interval is every 10 minutes and you leave and come back in 8 it will really assign to your wifi in two minutes. If you have this option turned of you will have to manually reconnect ecerytime

[Q] bluetooth ???

I was looking for this on all forum and did not find answer. I get second one skyrocket and second blutooth device plantronic voyager pro HD and still have problem as is had with last one. Devices paired with no problem and worked for some one-two days with no problem. After that time sound is scrachy and disconnect from phone, then i can not turn on or off blutooth on phone and also can not find device antill i restart phone. Skayrocket running on rooted stock and I installed CWM on. Did not flash with any rom yet. Any idea what is the problem or this is hardware problem again ( that why i replace last one phone and bluetooth) ???
There's an issue with bluetooth on the skyrocket and the galaxy s2 for some reason. I am running the newest version of seanzscreams ROM and I've had no issues since I updated. My bluetooth would think it was connected but when I made a call I'll have no audio. I would have to reboot my skyrocket and resync my bluetooth. Hopefully they fix it in the ICS release.
so many ppl having bluetooth issue. SO i ma gonna take out my jawbone and see if i can help these ppl out.
I have the Era, Plantronics backbeat 903+, and the Blue Ant Q2 and they all do the same darn thing. It's weird, the phone even shows it's connected. When I press the button on my Era is says how much talk time is left but not connect me to your phone. It is a pain. I wish it would automatically sync to my car when I turn it on and switch off my earpiece. Guess we need to wait for an app or something.
Well my jawbone got connected to phone easily. Made phone call and every thing went smooth so good news for me. Running Ice cream rom.
What I found was that you have to make sure it's set to auto connect if not then you'll have to manually connect it every time in your Bluetooth settings.

Thanks all for answers.. I hope someone will find solution for problem , i also will try to flash some roms to see what is working what not..
I was having a strange problem with bluetooth as well. The audio would become undecipherable sometimes. I found that when I had wifi turned on I could recreate the issue and when I turned it off the issue when away. I've since used tasker to turn off the wifi when initiating a bluetooth connection and haven't had the problem since. Your results may vary, but couldn't hurt to try it out. Hopefully it'll fix your issue.
There is a definitely issue with bluetooth. I use 5 different sets of bluetooth (Bose, Plantronics Voyager Pro, Plantroinics 975, Blueant Q2, Jawbone) and they all seem to have an issue with Skyrocket. Even tho they are paired and connected to the phone, I can't seem to hear anything. Also, sometimes it does not turn on or off. There are times when it won't even connect/pair even though the bluetooth is set on auto connect. I have to reboot in order to get it working correctly. With my Bionic, I never have that issue. This is my 2nd set of Skyrocket and my first one had the same issues.

In "Settings", "Use Power saving mode", there are a number of defaults, one of which is "turn off blutetooth".
If you have powersavings enabled and this ticked off it will drop your BT connection if it's idle for a bit... It also has the same foy wi-fi, gps, and sync, and timeout and response values for brightness and timeout.
Also note that reaching your "low power" threshold set in this area will turn off all of those too.

I'm on my second White Skyrocket and am still having the same bluetooth issue. After connecting with my car, then leaving the car and returning later, I cannot turn BT back on without a reboot. Once it connects, it works well though.
Issue w/Speaker
I've not connected with a bluetooth headset, but I have HORRIBLE audio issues when using my Parrot 2.1 b'tooth speaker.
Rocket connects & keeps connection, but audio drops & is choppy - even when < 4' away.
White Skyrocket on faux's kernel & seanscreamz SkyIceCreamSandwich RC6.6 ROM.
I did something diffriend on my wifes skayrocket with stock rom and no root totaly clean...

BT sucks down too much battery life to leave on all the time for me.
That's what we have found to be the issue....everything works unless bt is toggled off then back on
Bt draining battery when not connected does not make much sense...it doesn't scan frequently once on from what I can tell. Would have to run some logs to verify

Try with Wifi turned off and see if that helps
I'm running Sky Ice Cream Snadwich 6.5Z. I seem to have bluetooth issues with my Backbeat 903+ when Wifi is turned on. I just tested it. I hung up the call, turned off Wifi and the audio was much better. I still have to have the in-call volume turned way down though
I will say that the 903+ were kind of crappy when I used them with my iPhone 3GS too though. Again, had to turn the volume all the way down. Its too bad because I really loved the first gen of this headset
I was palying with bluetooth and I notice if i turn off Bluetooth PBAP and Bluetooth Share my connection to handset if perfect. Can somebody explain what are this two thinks and what role they have in phone ?
You can find Bluetooth info here:
(sorry new member... can't post outside links... search wikipedia for "Bluetooth profile")
It will explain what PBAP and all those other services that do not work and cause you grief...
I have a feeling that this issue with this model of phone could be because it is using Bluetooth 3.0, maybe the Bluetooth devices we are trying to connect to are not compatible or struggle with the data transfer rate?
In any case it is super annoying, lets hope the issue gets fixed with ICS. I am trying to use my SGS2 LTE (on Rogers in Canada) with my Bluetooth in my Hyundai Tucson 2010... it rarely connects, and when it does either it cannot download my address book or people cannot hear me.
I read in this thread "set it to connect automatically", I cannot find this setting on the phone, any help?
Thanks,
Marc

Bluetooth Not Reconnecting!!

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??
