I drive a ford escape and when I bought it, I set up my phone to connect to the cars bluetooth automatically when I get in.
Since the ics update a couple months ago, I have to manually connect it each time I get in now.
I've looked through all of the setting available, and can't seem to figure out what to do to get it to connect automatically.
My phone is setup as the primary phone, but unless I connect manually, my g/f's phone connects and hers is the secondary phone.
The cars bluetooth seems to be fine as her phone works every time and mine only started to have this issue after ICS.
Any tips?

Have you tried unpairing her phone and pairing only yours?
yeah, no difference.
It seems like ics just doesn't support auto-connecting, but that would be ridiculous....no?

I seem to have a problem connecting my new 10.5" tab s to my Verizon note 3 via bluetooth. It shows that they are paired but when I click connect it acts like it will connect for about 3 seconds (it says connecting...) then just goes back to saying paired. The dude at the Samsung display in Best Buy claimed these 2 devices simply cannot connect through bluetooth which didn't seem right. Tonights?
What I've tried so far: obviously restarting both devices and completely unpairing them as well to no avail...

It isn't right. I have a Note 3 also but with Sprint. I don't have any problem connecting. I would assume it is not the carrier that is causing the problem. It is well known that the Samsung reps at BB know absolutely nothing about their products. I also assume you tried shutting BT off on both devices then re-activating them? Is NFC on on your note? If it is try shutting that off as the slate is not NFC capable and it may be interfering. Just some suggestions.
I have a Note 3 as well from sprint and haven't had an issue connecting via bluetooth. I'll take a look around to see if anyone else is having this issue. Hopefully you'll be able to resolve it.
I did a factory wipe on my phone thinking that may help but was unsuccessful. Those of you who are able to connect your phone and tab, can you use the Internet connection from the phone using bt on the tab?
Update number 2...I factory wiped the tablet too and still no luck. It automatically wants to connect for Internet access and if I have the tab connectrd to WiFi it says it can't connect to bluetooth for tethering if WiFi is connected. Turning off WiFi does nothing...
I have the ATT Note 3 and am able to connect to my Tab S with Bluetooth. On both devices it only says paired. The only time it said connecting is when I initially paired the two devices, once paired the "connecting" was replaced by "paired". I can't find anywhere it says connected yet I am able to send files back and forth between the two via Bluetooth. I don't use Bluetooth to tether so not sure if that is where it's supposed to say connected. Sorry if we're talking about two different things, just trying to help.

Well I feel stupid now haha. I can't connect to use Bluetooth for an Internet connection as I was attempting, but I can send and receive files to and from the tab and phone.
I am having problems keeping the watch connected to my phone. Android Wear will report it's connecting... then disconnect very quickly. It will repeat this cycle over and over. On the watch, it shows a little cloud icon with a slash thru it, pulling up Google Now reports the watch is disconnected.
My phone reports it is paired with the watch via bluetooth and the radio is turned on. I tried changing my wifi access to use my 5G radio instead of 2.4 but that didn't help. No other bluetooth devices are paired with my phone or with my watch. Phone is a Galaxy Note 2 running Android 4.4.2. Any suggestions that I can try?
I have this as well with my GS4.
are you having this issue when the phone is near you or like say across the house from you?
I got my watch yesterday.
Problem occured with out of the box firmware (4.4.4). I manage to reconnect and connect last enough to update to 5.0.2. ANd there I was hoping it will be good. But unfrontunately no. I still have the problem.
I have a galaxy note 4 (N910F) on Lollipop. I reset factory my phone and the watch. I have stil random disconnections. And when disconnected, It is hard to made the watch reconnect. Didn't have any problem with my LH watch R.
Kind of disappointed by the Moto 360 (a colleague with a one plus one and the same watch doesn't have such problems.
Really don't know mess things up.
What a burden to have to reset the watch each time we need to connect to a new mobile / reconnect to the current one.
They should have add an option to connect / disconnect
As the title states, my phone will not connect to both devices simultaneously. If I connect one, the other one will disconnect immediately. I don't remember having this issue with previous phones. Any ideas on what is the issue and how to fix it?

Sorry, not sure what to say here. My S3 connects perfectly, and stays connected when another Bluetooth device connects to the phone. Do you mean, it's actually no longer connected or paired? My phone shows 'connected' to only my car for example but not the S3. However, it IS still connected to the watch. I still get notifications and such. You may try unpairing it, otherwise resetting the watch. Sorry I'm not much help here.

Maybe you're right and I'm just overreacting. I was going off of what the phone said. It says connected to one device, but does not say connected under the other. Maybe the watch is still connected and I just need to chill out. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for grounding me.
My 6P on Oreo has no trouble staying connected to my car ('17 Durango) and my Gear S3 at the same time. Works flawlessly. Now, if my P2XL would actually ship I'd be able to confirm whether that hardware combo works as well...

I thought the same thing the first time I connected my phone to my car. I even rebooted my phone. When I did, my watch buzzed that it had been disconnected, which I forgot it does when the connection is lost. It wasn't doing that when connecting to my car. I also confirmed when I received a text and my wrist buzzed. Should be all good!
Hi all,
Not sure if this is a common problem, but on my Pixel 2 XL, I cannot get any other phone to connect to it via Bluetooth?? I'm trying this so I can try Daydream with the Controller Emulator app but so far, 3 different android phones can pair, but will not connect. Have tried all the basic troubleshooting, any ideas??
Cheers for any help!

Same Here

Yeah, same here. I thought I was doing something wrong so it's kind of nice, sorry, to see I am not the only one having this problem. I had tried all of my phones and even the newest on that I replaced with the Pixel 2 XL. Maybe because we just got an update to 6.1.0? Maybe that's what has changed and I hope we can figure this out. I have a really nice headset that I would like to try Daydream with to see if I want to take the plunge for the Headset and controller.
I was having a similar issue with my Pebble app. Watch would pair with phone, but the app would not connect or would have issues connecting. Turns out I needed to add special permission for unrestricted data usage for the pebble app. Also, bluetooth is by default optimized under battery options. I tried leaving it there and it killed the connection after about 20 minutes and I couldn't reestablish it. So, it's not being optimized now.
I also had issues with phone to phone file transfers using bluetooth. It worked once then stopped. I'm going to see if the file transfer service maybe needs special permissions like the pebble app did.
None of this was an issue on 7.0 so not sure what's changed.
Edit: So the Pebble thing was resolved with a factory reset of the watch. Turns out to be coincidence that it stayed connected for a day after the permissions change. The file transfer over usb is still having issues.
It seems like Google's update did something to it I believe
Strange issue but i am having issues with Bluetooth connectivity. I don't use bluetooth a lot but occasionally i will use it to transfer a picture from my computer to my phone.
It has worked once or twice but for the most part i keep getting...... "Failed to establish connection" ??
It often asks me to allow bluetooth tethering (no idea why as i have never had to do that before) but even if i do allow it, it makes no difference. Its like it connects as soon as i am about to send the file and then disconnects the second i hit send.
Interestingly i had had this issue before on previous Samsung device but never figured it out either. Whenever i get a new device i always disable a few apps that i don't need/use and i am wondering if maybe i am the cause of the problem! In saying that though. I don't seem to have anything disabled that would interfere with bluetooth and there has been the odd time when it has worked so i cant figure it out!
Any thoughts?

You need to update the firmware

Always figured this was a Windows issue. Had the same problem with my Note 9. Bluetooth setup has both devices connect, but then it automatically disconnects on the phone right after. Trying to send a file to the computer results in an error even though if I try the opposite and send a file to the phone, it works. I tried again when I got my Note 10+ and same result. I used to use bluetooth to stream music to my PC speakers but since maybe around Windows 8.1, I've heard they removed that feature and i figure this is the result of that.
restricted file type? send from sd card?
