I have this bluetooth stereo, connected to it once with my phone via BT. At this point I have completely reset the stereo, factory reset my phone, and still have the issue.
Phone: Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950U)
Strereo: Boss BV9370B
Issue: since connecting, the stereo attempts reconnection every 30 or so seconds when the key is on in the car. Its driving me nuts and wearing out my battery as it wakes the phone constantly.
How do I fix it? Or is there an app to get so I can specifically disable targeted connection devices or at least "mute" the connection attempt.
And Also, when the attempt is made it jumps to a screen asking me to enter a password. So if I'm using the phone at all, the keyboard keeps jumping up with the prompt every 30 seconds, making it impossible to do anything.

I own a 2011 Subaru Impreza STi which I have paired with my HTC Sensation 4G (t-mobile). Currently I can listen to music through the radio, take phone calls, and control the current song through the dash and steering wheel. Like others have reported, it always starts playing immediately upon bluetooth connection (annoying).
The real problem I am having is that the phone won't automatically reconnect to the car when I start the car/stereo back up. When I am using the bluetooth playing through the car, and I shutoff the car, the music player on the phone stops and closes, but the bluetooth still says "connected." When I go back to the car again, (15 seconds or many days later) it won't automatically reconnect and start playing again. In order to get it to reconnect, I have to disable bluetooth and reenable it; only then the phone will automatically connect. Any advice on getting the phone to automatically reconnect when I turn the car back on, so I don't have to disable and reenable the bluetooth on the phone?
I currently run the Sense UI (I hate it). I S-OFF'ed, rooted, and CID'd the phone yesterday so that I can install stock CM7 on it soon.
Thank you in advance.
I've been reading and searching but I think I missed the thread that pertains to my issues. Running Stock everything and bluetooth connects from my phone to my headset fine but when I get in my car, the bluetooth system in my car starts screaming at me every 30 seconds that the "pairing process must be initiated from the car and not the phone". Well, I'm not trying to pair, why is the phone sending out a pairing attempt and how can I stop it?
I have the AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket and my phone used to auto-connect to my car via bluetooth without any problem, even after upgrading to ICS in early July. All of sudden since yesterday a problem has popped up: whenever I start the car, the car's control panel shows "bluetooth connection successful" or something similar, and then the car audio system switches into the talk mode as if the phone is in the mid of a phone call. Of course I am not in the middle of any phone call. So there is no audio heard (no radio, no cd playing, etc). I try to press the button on the car's panel to disconnect the call but it always returns to that talk mode. After some tests I find out that if I make any phone call, the call will be disconnected immediately and the status of my car's panel returns to normal. But next time when I start the car, the issue appears again until I make any phone call.
At the beginning I thought something was wrong with my car. Then I tried two other phones: one was iphone 3G, and the other was an old htc magic with android 2.2. Both of their bluetooth systems worked well with my car. So I believe it is something wrong with the Galaxy phone. However I am not sure what could be the problem exactly.
My phone is not rooted.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Have you tried unpairing the skyrocket and your car? Sometimes you just need to break the connection and set it up again.
Reported questions go in q&a and there are threads on Bluetooth issues

Yes I have unpaired the connection, restarted the phone and the car, and paired them again. But the problem persists.
Today I tried my wife's iphone 4 with the car the didn't see any problem. I am pretty sure there is something fishy with the phone.

This is driving me batty. Ever since I upgraded to ICS, my phone will not consistently reconnect to my Soundfly View that I use in my car.
Sometimes it connects automatically, sometimes not. I did completely remove the pairing from both devices and repaired, but to no difference.
Most maddeningly, today, it wasn't connected, so I woke the phone (by pressing power) and unlocked it, then it connected. Almost like it was "asleep" or something???
Anybody else have this issue? Is there any fix?
I don't have a suggestion for you, just saying that my experience has been the opposite. I use two completely different stereo bluetooth headset devices to listen to music all day at work (neither one of them has a long enough battery life to last throughout the day so I have to switch)
I use a sony mw600 and a samsung hs3000. I'm sure they are different than your car thing, but I'm sure they do the same thing. Ie, phone and media sounds go through the headset instead of the phone.
Autoconnect has always worked well. For what it's worth I use poweramp as a media player and in the settings there is an option for a persistent service to always start auto playing when the phone pairs to either device, and to stop playing upon a device disconnect. All I have to do is turn on the power, or turn off the power, the service automates the rest.
So if your intended point of the car thingamabob is to get songs to play from the phone through your car speakers, and to use the car speakers to talk on a phone call, maybe consider a media player that has a similar option to what I'm talking about. I'm sure poweramp is not the only one that does.
Thanks for the reply (and sorry for the late reply...busy, and been experimenting).
I've been using the app A2DP Volume which sort of does what you suggest, to launch any app upon BT connect. It's been working fairly well...but I still have this problem.
After some experimentation, I really believe the phone is going into some kind of deep sleep if I haven't used it in a while (even though it is on). My clues: one, this Bluetooth issue, where it will not connect. However, I've gotten to the point of just hitting the power button (even through the case) when it does not connect, and it will then immediately connect and play just fine. Also, I've noticed that in the mornings I have started to hit the power and swipe, and it doesn't show that I have any new email. So I hit power and put it away, and it will ding in a few minutes with my new mail. So at some point in the evenings, it quits checking email.
Is that plausible? I've looked everywhere for some kind of setting, but don't see any.
Well, I blew that theory...
Left work yesterday, it connected fine, first time. Stopped to get gas, got back in, didn't connect, until I pressed power. So, it could not be a sleep problem, over just a few minutes.
I don't get it. So many use BT in their car, but it's always been a pain for me.
As long as I've had this phone (January or so), this phone has been extremely flakey with my car's Bluetooth stereo. It connects within about 30 seconds of turning on the car, as usual, and displays a status showing connected. But when I actually try to play an audio file (usually a podcast, sometimes music, sometimes initiate a phone call), the BT connection dies, and the car stereo shows "No audio connection detected". I then have to wait another 30 seconds or so to try again.
This happened maybe 50% of the time when I got the phone, but since the Oreo update I feel like it's up to 85% of the time. It's only the first attempt--subsequent connections are usually fine. Nonetheless, it's driving me nuts. I've had four Android phones over the past seven years (including a Galaxy S2) and none of them ever had an issue with the stereo before this one.
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?
try forgetting the device in car bluetooth settings
You could trying pairing your S8 with another car. This will help you establish whether the issue is with the car or the phone. You could also try to Reset Network Settings
