Can you have more then 1 thing connected to bluetooth? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you have more then 1 bluetooth
connection?
Say like a G watch and then bluetooth streaming in your car. Or does one disconnect?

yes you can have 2 but i have to have one for phone and one set to media

You can. I've had 3 at one time paired. My car for calls, a bluetooth adapter in the car for audio (media), and my G Watch.

Good to know. Thanks! I'm assuming you can't have 2 devices connected under media or 2 under phone. Tho I'm not sure why you'd want to. When you had 3 connected everything worked as it should?

Everything worked fine. Spotify streaming with control from G watch as well as notifications. Streaming audio does get interrupted during phone call for obvious reasons.

Samsung galaxy s3 on car stereo usb

Has anyone figured out a way to get their Samsung galaxy s3 working with a car stereos' USB? ( I have a jvc)
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
With your USB connection, it doesn't automatically connect? Does your stereo have Bluetooth? I use Bluetooth with my car and it works great. Give that a try if you have that capability. But with USB it should work, not sure why yours wouldn't. Rom/kernel? Maybe some more info on your phone specs...

maybe you have tried this
Have you tried settings--accessory? Make sure all of those settings are correct if you already haven't.
I've tried this before and it generally isn't something that works.
The receiver cannot determine what is music and what is not. So it ends up playing everything from music to ringtones to navigational directions. Basically any compatible format file on your external storage.
Receivers and phones are not set up to work together like this.

Audio not synced with video when using Bluetooth

When using Bluetooth (LG tone) for audio, I am having problems with audio/video syncing on some apps i.e. Netflix. The audio lags the video stream by sometimes half a sec which makes the whole experience terrible. I tried different Bluetooth headsets and the problem is still there. When I use wired headphones the problem is gone.
I have read a few threads and this is a problem that exists in a variety of android devices (phones, tablets of different models/manufacturers). It also manifests itself in other video apps.
I did not see any solution to this but maybe I am missing something.
I guess I am wondering If anyone could verify this with their tablet.
Also, can anyone shed some light as to why this is happening?
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks!
Bluetooth in general is... Laggy. That's why, for example, PS3 Sony wireless headphones aren't bluetooth. In the case that you're only listening to music it's ok but for watching a video I would only use wired headphones or non-bluetooth wireless ones. Bluetooth is still evolving, for the best connection and audio quality you want to be wired. Remember that the less steps on the chain the better, qualitywise and "lagwise".

Use DICE player for local files as for Netflix I don't know . Dice player is free and perfect for any video files .
Yeah unfortunatly bluetooth is laggy on all devices. Lags on my S3 and Laptop and when I had an iPhone it was the same out of sync experiance. So in the end i just used it for listening to music and tbh they were great for that.
Will be class whenever they no longer have lag.. will happily pay some good money for some.
That's right but the problem aren't the headphones/devices, the problem is the bluetooth itself, the way it processes the data makes it laggy for real time stuff..

Same here. Thanks for your response. I understand that the bluetooth protocol is not meant for watching video but I don't understand why I can play the same movie on Netflix on my transformer prime tablet with the same bluetooth headset and have zero lag in sound. Same goes for my Nexus4 and yet I can't get it work properly on this tablet.

mmmm that is very very odd.
AHHHH I have just thought about this...What if you make the audio play a few milliseconds before the video or something maybe that could work....well it seems to work in my head haha, I dont have a Note 10.1 yet or even my Bluetooth headset with me otherwise I'd give it a go on my laptop.
Interesting... The note 2014 has bluetooth 4.0 which is the newest out there, hopefully a future firmware update will fix that...? (or maybe a Netflix update). Remember the note still has some flaws here and there. If you have NO lag in your transformer there should be a fix for that in ours... (more than no lag, synced correctly).
I know this isn't the answer you want, just my thoughts.

No Bluetooth isn't laggy by itself, that's ridiculous. What you're experiencing is caused by interference. The main culprit is usually Wi-Fi
My Sony Bluetooth Headphones don't lag one bit on any device. But one time while I had it on, playing the PS3 (with the Bluetooth controller) and connected to the internet via Wifi, I was experiencing audio lag. I turned off the wi-fi and went hardwired and the lag disappeared.
Try listening to you headphones via bluetooth on this device. But shut off wifi and listen to something that's on the storage. Tell me if it lags. If it doesn't then you'll know it's the wifi that's interfering and maybe we can remedy the situation by switching what channel you router uses for it's wifi signal so it doesn't interfere with whatever channel the Bluetooth is using.
Don't automatically assume that Bluetooth is laggy by nature and that's that. That's nonsense.

Every Sony PS3 headset is Bluetooth. Where do you guys get this misinformation that they avoid it? The only way Bluetooth will lag is if your headphones are using an old, slow profile or you're trying to pass heavy content over Bluetooth (and I mean HEAVY high quality content) or your environment is littered with interference.
You think my Sony MDR1RB, a $400 pair of cans, is a laggy by nature? No. Who would pay $400 for that? Why would Sony even make that?
And the Sony MDR1RB isn't even Bluetooth 4.0 it's 2.1

That was my initial thought. This is why I am using the 5GHz WiFi band since Bluetooth sits at 2.4GHz (same out of sync result). Also some streaming apps have no problem with audio sync i.e. Youtube, streaming from local NAS video and even streaming from Slingbox. I find it tough to swallow that it is a problem with the Bluetooth headphones since they actually work perfectly on my TF201 and Nexus4.
I think it is the actual implementation of the Bluetooth stack on the tablet that is at fault.

How you tried switching your wifi channel? There is an app on the Play store that scans your environment and shows you which channels are most congested. Search "wifi channel" and see which one looks best, I'm sure there are multiple ones.
As far as the implementation of the Bluetooth stack being at fault, if that was so, then wouldn't my Sony's lag as well? But the don't

Thanks for your response. This is actually really good info. Your Sony works with Netflix streaming with no lag issues on this Note??? If so maybe it is worth for me buying and trying one.
As far as the channel scanner, I used it and tried a few channels for my WiFi with no improvement. The higher end of the band i.e. ch11 is very clean. Anyway, I ended up going to 5GHz to at least ensure that there is no interference with the Bluetooth coming from my Wifi system.
Apologies on wrong info @spky818 but I could only go on what I have experienced with Bluetooth ... If what VDC530 says is true then I think I'll invest in some good quality BT headphones aswell...Hate wires haha.

Sorry but I'll have to disagree with vdc530, I'm not trying to be disrespectful or start a controversy here, but you are assuming that I'm assuming things. In my experience with bluetooth I found it most of the times laggy, that's why I said "in general", that doesn't mean "everything", (obviously because I don't have every single device/configuration). If you didn't have mayor lags so far or you found a way around it that's great and I mean it, and great you share it.
Not every Sony Headset/phones are bluetooth, http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Stereo-Headset-Playstation-3/dp/B0053OLY9O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384458305&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+ps3+headphones , That's the one I was talking about, and I was assuming (I'm human) that Sony didn't make it bluetooth because it would overload the bluetooth on the PS3, that makes sense to me according to my bluetooth experience, and yes I can be wrong on that. Anyway at the end that's out of the main point here, so I don't want to expand on that.
I wouldn't say "nonsense" to something someone says, even if I know everything there is to be known about this or that matter, we can strongly disagree, explain our points and/or correct someone in a more polite way.
That's the beauty of a forum, I always make sure to specify if it's my knowledge, my thoughts or an assumption, i apologize if I didn't.

Update:
So I fished out my old Bluetooth Headset (Sony DR-BT22) that I bought back in 2009 for a mere £20 on a clearance sale, these headphones were the reason I said all Bluetooth lags since I tested it on a multiple different devices (S3, Iphone 3G and Laptop).....anyways so I decided to test them on the Note 10.1 just to test something I already know and that I need to invest in some expensive £70 ($110) Bluetooth headphones I have seen.
To my shock there is no lag whatsoever when using the DR-BT22 via Youtube or even while playing a video stored on the Note 10.1...AWESOME
I really have no idea why it works on my Note efficiently yet doesn't on other devices but I no longer care - I now have Wireless headphones for my Note 10.1 that I didn't even know worked haha. I always loved the foldaway design of these headphones and now I can actually utilise this on my travels.
Thanks vdc530 and spky818 I wouldn't have bothered trying my old ones if it wasn't for yous - saved myself some canny dosh :good:
I was watching BS player yesterday with wired headphones and I had lag in the audio caused by fast forwarding. The only way to get rid was to close the player and reload the movie after which it was perfect.
So is it Bluetooth or the player or a combination?

amazon fire tv stick and BT headphones possible

I prefer watching things with headphones rather than using tv speakers so I can watch what I want when I want without disturbing anyone and I'd rather not have to get one of those rf headphones just for this. ..can't anyway my LG tv doesn't have headhone jack ..I was able to set up bluetooth on Aftv box ..has 4.0 useing the settings apk..
Do we need a settings.apk thats 3.0 BT compatible?..When I tried with settings.apk on fire tv stick I could manually connect but thats all ,no sound to headphones.

I tried it awhile back with aftv and couldn't connect with my BT speaker or headphone. Not sure why it's an issue because it supports some 3rd part BT game pads. Hopefully you find a solution or maybe it's already been answered??? I kind of moved on but this is a nice feature and aftv should support it. You could try Amazon tech support.
Just wondering if there are any new success story for listening to FireTV Stick audio on their Bluetooth headphones.
I was about to order a new Bluetooth headphones, glad I look here because the FTV Stick doesn't seem to be working with any Bluetooth headphones even with Settings.apk installed.
I will hold off on my Bluetooth headphone order for now...

This topic comes up often and the consensus is you can get it to work, but it's more trouble than it's worth because the audio is out of sync with the video. Even if you add a delay (for example, via Kodi's options) and get things synced, they eventually go out of sync again because the amount they're out of sync is not constant.
I haven't tried this myself. This is just information that I've read from other people's experience.
I got my BT speakers working with the settings.apk but alas it was out of sync.

I believe this is the case with the aftv. I believe with the aftv stick you are unable to even get that much (no audio at all). At least that had been my experience.

Was this with FireOS 5?
Does FireOS 5 offer an option to pair bluetooth headphones, as FireOS 4 does not, and people have to use "hacks".
The firmware version on my AFS is 54.123
I paired the headphones using the setting hack and from the main settings menu. Both times, I got a message saying that audio should be working and that might headphones are connected. however, no audio gets played.
Problem might be my bluetooth headphones-the brand is Maze Exclusive. it might be sending "phone audio" but not "music" audio. i get a message like that on my cell phone when pairing this headphone to it on occasion and can;t hear audio from music.

Bluetooth, easy shift between 2 phones?

Hi. Have a JY mtcb head unit with Maylaysk rom and 4.4.4 android. Find it tricky to shift between the 2 phones i have conected in the bluetooth app on my head unit. First i have to mark the active phone and then deselect it. Then i can mark the next phone in the list and connest it. Is there a easy way to do this with just a short cut or a another app that will do it more easy?
I do not know a shortcut but maybe I can do even better
Buy an android compatible Bluetooth dongle and pair both (cost me $4 incl shipping from China), I did that with my OBD device and phone but see know issue why 2 phones shouldn`t work as well.
The only thing that could be a (small) problem is which it would dial a number with.
Just a suggestion of course

What functions would you be using in Tasker?
I was just thinking that Tasker could possibly be used to automate bluetooth switching. I'm not sure HOW to set it up though.
I use the app Trigger. I use it to turn on my phone's Hotspot when it connects to my headunits Bluetooth connection and when it disconnects it turns off the Hotspot and turn on my wifi. It is very easy to use compared to Tasker. Tasker is good as it has a lot of functions but I don't quite know how to use it yet.

I was using Tasker for a few of these things, but actually the Smart Connect on my phone does all these things well.
I think what this thread is about though, which I would like to know two is that if you have two phones connected to the head unit, it connects to one, but even though the other is stored as a bluetooth connection it will only autoconnect to the last connected phone. This means you have to manually hit the connect on the head unit for it to work if you weren't the last one in the car!
It would be better if you could tell the head unit to have a "preference" to connect to phone A over phone B, but if phone A isn't present, then connect to phone B.
Well the headunit is very limited, but if you are very knowledgeable in Tasker you set something like that up on the headunit. I think trigger can let it do the same thing by using restrictions,

If the Pixel 2 has Bluetooth 5, which I'm pretty sure it does, this should be possible. Functionality may come with future updates.
I am.getting my Pixel 2 Friday and now noticed that in my truck, the Bluetooth only handles calls. I have to connect my 3.5mm jack for audio/assistant/Android Auto.
Are you able.with the phone to send calls.to one BT connection and Audio to the other one?

Yes, this is not a Bluetooth 5.0 thing. I did this on my Nexus 6. I jerryrigged Bluetooth audio to my car, which only had Bluetooth for phone.
So, the car only had the option of contact sharing and phone, while the other device (Bluetooth to 3.5mm) I had to select only audio (it have the option for phone, contacts and audio, I just selected audio). Let know if this makes sense.

Hi guys,
my car also only has bluetooth for phone so i wanted to connect my Pixel 2 XL via a bluetooth dongle to 3.5mm.
But everytime I connect my phone with car and dongle the sound skips frequently - phone calls are fine. When only the dongle is connected with the phone (car is disconnect) the sound doesn't skip anymore. After reconnecting the car, so that both devices are connected again, the sound starts so skip after a short time again. I already tried two different dongles and the third comes an wednesday but no improvement yet.
Does anyone have same issues or can give me an advice? I already tried to tweak some of the bluetooth development settings like changing the AVRCP-Version but no improvement.
Thanks!
