Is it possible to keep BT connected to two devices at the same time?
I have a fitness band with no built in GPS and when running outdoor it needs pairing with its app to track GPS data, but I tipically listen to music via BT headphone while running.
thx
I ride a mountain bike connecting with BT ear buds for music, BT media controller on handlebars (for volume, skip, pause etc) and also connected to BT bike GPS, all with no issues
Yes, it is possible....I have my my samsung smartwatch connected and when I go for a walk I connect my buds pro as well...No issues
Thx will try again, maybe I did something wrong
It can. I have mine connected to the gear, razer anzu and if i get in the car - it connects to the car as well. All at the same time.
I'm not sure how it works with other devices but in order forbme to pair with both of my bt speakers I have to enable them both in media output. Pull down the the notifications bar, it's right next to device control.

So I recently got this bluetooth audio receiver (got for 15 bucks off dailysteals) for my car so I can play audio through bluetooth using an aux port. However every time I restart my car I have to manually reconnect my phone to the music bluetooth device because it does not auto reconnect. But, when I turn on the car, the cars integrated bluetooth (car bluetooth only can play call audio not music audio) does reconnect to the phone. Is there a way that I can tell my phone to reconnect to the bluetooth music receiver when it connects to the cars bluetooth so I don't have to keep reconnecting the bluetooth receiver that receives the music. I know the galaxy s3 can connect to both at the same time because I have done it before manually.
Thanks for the help
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.
Hi!
the radio in my car doesn't have bluetooth (BT) so I need to use a BT audio adapter that I plug in the audio jack. THis would be the first device that I want to connect with my Honor 8. Because I don't want to switch tracks over the phone display, I would like to connect a bluetooth remote too that is attached to the steering wheel. FInally I would like to use a BT headset to make/answer calls while driving.
So there would be 3 BT devices that need to be connected to my phone at the same time...
Have any of you tried this? Should / can this work?
Thanks for your thoughts!

You can do that if you use 3 different protocol.
1. BT headset-phone audio
2.Bt aux-media audio(this give music audio and dedicated music control)
3. BT remote-have to be some kind of input type.

I haven't had any luck connecting to my car's Bluetooth with emui 5.1 so I wish you the best of luck bud! I'm back to the aux cord life until something gets fixed. Please keep us posted on how things work out for you.
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 can't find a way to have both my headset and car stereo connected at the same time without changing the bluetooth profiles in settings. Samsung s8 can do this automatically/natively. both bluetooth devices show connected for phone and media audio.
I use a bluetooth headset on my oneplus 6 (trialing it) during working hours for calls and music.. when i get in my car, I sometimes make calls on my headset... but in between calls, I want to listen to music on my car stereo. That's fine.... IF i remove media audio bluetooth profile from my headset first...
But wait..... Sometimes I want to transfer the call from my headset to my car stereo, and/or vice versa. I don't want to change the Bluetooth profile manually every single time i want to use a different device which I have been having to do.
Pretty please can you try connect your nex to 2 devices that have phone and media capabilities and see if you can connect them both at the same time? If so... try and switch calls between the 2 without changing any settings in the bluetooth? Will you take a screenshot of the bluetooth settings page once they are connected too? I appreciate your time.
Only Samsung is making what you want. (Afair)
Yes, you can pair two Bluetooth devices at a time but only one can be used/selected for calling. If you want to pair two Devices of this type you have to disable Media or Calling for the first connected devices. Then the other one is connecting fine.
I use this in my car. Bluetooth streams music to a FM Transmitter and is connected to my car for calls. In this case (when one device is detected as media only) you can connect the Calling devices without a flaw.
