Just got a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7, Android 6.0.1. Used to have a Motorola/Lenovo Droid Turbo, Android 5.x up until last week.
I have my Plantronics Bluetooth Voyager Legend and Panasonic Link 2 Cell cordless phone with BT configured on the old phone and on the new phone.
On the old phone (Motorola), if I was connected to the Panasonic device, I couldn't use the Plantronics headset. I would have to disconnect the Panasonic BT device and then connect the Plantronics.
On the new phone (S7), if I have both BT devices turned on. I can see them both connected to the S7. It says "DECT KX-xxxx" connected for call audio, and "PLT_Legend connected for call and media audio".
So is this a new feature for the S7 or Android 6.x? or is something funky going on with my phone, where it mistakenly is semi-connected to both devices?

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab, rooted. I've found that the Bluetooth is problematic at best. I've been able to pair it with my Samsung SCH-U470 (Juke) cell phone and with my Sony UX-50 Clie PDA, but not with the two devices I'd really like to: my Motorola H-250 Bluetooth headset and the stereo in my Hummer.
The Juke phone connects to the car just fine. I put the car into discoverable mode but the Tab never even sees it.
I applied the etc/bluetooth/audio.conf described here: <http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-795691.html> but it didn't help.
I got rid of auto_pairing.conf by renaming it to auto_pairing.conf.old. That didn't help either.
I'm about out of ideas. Can anyone help? Thanks!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos SM-G7102. Over the holidays I purchased a watch that supports Smart Notifications as-in it Bluetooth pairs with a supported phone and receives call and message notifications. But the "supported phone" caveat is that it must be a phone that supports BT 4.1. My phone supports BT 4.0. Is the difference just a software difference or some sort of radio difference? Is there a way to just update the Bluetooth on a phone?
There appear to be no roms available for this phone (DUOS is a dual-sim phone). Ideally you'd be able to suck the existing rom off the phone, update the bluetooth, and re-flash it.
I just purchased a 6p and love it had about 6 days know. I just came from an HTC one m8 running Android 6.0 pure Android.
I can connect my phone up to my car stereo Bluetooth but only audio and contact sharing shows up. I've connect the 6p to my bt headphones and can receive calls.
My HTC one can make phone calls from my truck. I have deleted the pairing and rebooted the phone and also deleted the pairing from my truck stereo. Rebooted into safe mode and paired with same issue.
Any ideas. I love this phone but this is a must can't go backwards when you buy a new phone.
Hey Guys -
I've had my Gear S2 for a few months now and even though I enjoy it, have a nagging issue I can't seem to fix. I've searched everywhere and tried a few things, but no luck.
My Issue
My Gear S2 is obviously connected to my phone via bluetooth most of the time. If / when I power on my headset (M 165), it does not work as phone still goes to the Gear S2. In Bluetooth Settings, it shows both connected, but the M165 says "(No Phone) behind it. The only way I can use the headset is if I turn off bluetooth on my Gear S2. The same thing happens when I connect to my car's bluetooth as it says "No Phone" too. (see attached screenshot)
What I've Tried
- Disabling "Phone Audio" for the Gear S2: When I do this, the watch disconnects from BT. When I reconnect it, Phone Audio is enabled again
- Bluetooth Auto Connect: I installed this and set the Gear S2 to enable everything but Media and Call audio then set the headset to have only those two enabled. Didn't make a difference when testing as things still connected the same way
- Tasker: I've tried using a variety of plugins to get things to connect correctly, but still no go
Specs
- Phone: HTC One A9 / Marshmallow 6.0.1 / Rooted / s-off
- Watch: Gear S2 / Latest Firmware
- Headset: PLT_M165
Any suggestions? Am I perhaps using Bluetooth Auto Connect wrong? Thanks!
Have you tried another Bluetooth headset? I recommend you to try it if you didn't. I am not experiencing this issue and here is my setup:
I have Note 5 with latest Android 6.0.1 available.
Gear s2 (3g/4g model from T-Mobile) with latest firmware available.
I have Jawbone ERA (few year old model)
I also have Plantronics Legend
When watch is connected to my phone and then I connect any of the above Bluetooth headsets to my phone, then I am able to make/received calls on the headsets and in Bluetooth settings I see "phone" where as your pictures show as "no phone".
How did you connect your watch to your phone by just pairing via Bluetooth or through Gear Manager app?
I have this same issue with my Pixel 2XL it seems that having a samsung phone fixes this issue but any other android phone will exhibit this issue. if you disable phone call audio to the watch everything else will work properly. but you cannnot take calls on the watch.
Has anyone found a better fix then this???
Coming from the Galaxy S8, I was kind of disappointed to find that the Pixel 2 apparently only connects to one Bluetooth device at once. For example the phone will only connect to my car but not my headset at the same time as the S8 did. I like having that because when you don't want to take calls on the car speaker you can just send the calls to the headset without much issue. Is there anyway to get the phone to connect to multiple devices? Any mods that are available to get it working?

I've not figured out a way. In fact, as of the 8.1 update it made my bluetooth worse. When I connect to a BT device, rather its my headphones at the gym, or my car, I have to dial something and hit "dial" on my dialer. When I do that it makes the hangining up sound and then is free to be used for other things. Quite frustrating, really. :crying:
I had my p2 connected to an aftermarket head unit in my vehicle and set it to media only, connected to my Bluetooth ear piece for calls and shared my internet via Bluetooth to my PS vita at the same time. You just have to play with settings for each device.

I have wondered if its an issue with a mismatch between the two bluetooth devices.
It looks like this has been addressed somewhat in Android P. I am running the beta that was released yesterday and the device is now connecting to multiple bluetooth devices. There is a quirk that requires you to go into the bluetooth menu to change the current active device (Think it might have been like that on the Galaxy too) but it does maintain the connection to multiple devices now. It does automatically switch when you turn off one of the devices, such as your car, so this is definitely progress on this front I think.
