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.

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.
connect to the car...
I know the trick about turning off media for the car device etc...but it still constantly clicks likes it wants to connect. Also the headphones will randomly stop playing because it is confused... and god forbid i get out and run an errand and back in the car...all out of whack...
Its frustrating...so is there a way to turn off auto connect so when i want to have car bluetooth i can and when i want headphone bluetooth in the car i can....
thanks.
I can't think how to describe this without just launching into what happens.
In the morning I connect my bluetooth earbuds and listen to a podcast while walking around the house getting ready. When I get in the car, I turn the earbuds off and connect my phone to the Android Auto capable head unit, via USB. After arriving at my parking spot, I turn the car off, disconnect the USB, and turn the earbuds back on. Usually at this point I have to tap the volume up button in order to hear anything (I suspect because when nothing is connected, I keep the media volume muted, and the phone gets confused swapping from AA [which I think uses bluetooth for audio] to nothing to bluetooth). I then walk the rest of the way to work, usually taking about 10 minutes.
Nearly every day, just as I arrive at work or after I get into the building, the audio cuts out. The only way to get it to resume is to completely power off the earbuds and power it back on. Occasionally I have to go through re-pairing, even. I've had this experience with two different bluetooth devices from different brands (JayBird and Jabra).
Any ideas? :/
Are you paired with any devices in the building and do you disconnect the bluetooth from the devices before leaving proximity?.
Bluetooth will try to connect to a device if the signal was dropped instead of disconnected. If 2 devices are in the area Bluetooth seems to go cuckoo if the have existing dropped connections. You're not alone. My obd2 and smart watch constantly have fights with each other over my phone. It's a pain.

I don't have any paired devices anywhere near me when the audio cuts out. The only paired devices I have are:
Bluetooth control button (in car)
JayBird BlueBuds X (at home)
My car head unit (in car)
Jabra Elite Sport (in use at the time)
So I would say I am some 500m away from the nearest paired device when the audio cuts out.
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?
I have an annoyance with my LG V50, I had a similar issue with my V30 as well. Everytime it comes near a paired Bluetooth device, it automatically switches audio to that. For example, my garage I have a Bluetooth stereo, if I am mowing with headphones and it reconnects to the garage, it starts playing in the garage. If I pull into my driveway while using the Bluetooth in my car, it starts playing in the garage. While in the garage, if I open my car door, which switches the radio on, it switches to my car. It's quite annoying to say the least... From what I can find, there are no settings I can change or 3rd party Bluetooth Managers that can take over this function. To me, it seems like it should be obvious, if I'm actively using an audio source, don't switch it on me...
Has anyone dealt with this or come up with solutions?
