[Q] Using Bluetooth without Throw - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway of disabling Throw and just using a set of Bluetooth headphones with the Bluetooth set-up alone?
Pairing my LG headphones through the conventional Bluetooth settings works perfectly, re-establishing a paired connection every time. Then Throw kicks in and wants to establish a new connection, which invariably messes things up.
I've tried starting the pairing process from scratch with Throw, but when using the headphones subsequently, it occasionally fails to make an auto connection when I turn the headphones on.

My computer is on the list but whenever i click on it, the only option is to unpair.
Try deleting and re-establishing a connection. I had to do this with my car system the second time I used it. It seems to work fine after that..
I'm having a somewhat related issue....
I can pair my BT headset, but each time I turn it off and back on I have to manually "Connect" it. It stays in my Devices list, but it will not automatically connect when it sees the headset. Instead I have to touch-hold the device and choose "Connect".
That's a pretty annoying extra step. With my Droid, all I had to do was turn on the headset and then the Droid would see it and connect automatically.

I am having this same problem. Anyone find a solution to this?
I had the same problem while importing contacts from my Touch Pro. I somehow managed to import though.
Strange but true,,,,,
All of my previous WM units, and I had most of them, had BT troubles, but the incredible has been the first device to work correctly with all of my toys. I have a Moto HT-820 stereo HS, a BT mirror in 1 car, Scala Rider BT on my bike, Kenwood system in my other car, and all work, I even made the thing transfer my contacts list from my TP 2 ;-)
Same issue here with my Atrix to my G-Tablet.
I have been all over the Google and nothing but unresolved threads out there.
I have only gotten BT pairing issues with gingerbread roms, not froyo. Are these other folk having bt issues on gb, and perhaps not froyo?

i have a stereo blutooth headset i have had it for little over a year and have used it with a couple older phones(non android) and i would always be about to just turn on headset and it would connect, when i got the dinc and tried to use my headset it would sometimes only connect to the music part or the phone part or sometimes not at all.
i found that if i turn my headset on first, then turn on the blutooth on the dinc it will connect right up no problems at all, this is completely backwards from way i have always done it but it works so i just use wiget to turn off bt if it is on on the phone, then turn on headset then turn widget back on and bingo! not sure if this will work with car or computers but as far as headset it seems to be the way to go!
hope this helps.
Yeah, wow problem ...
Well, still, this unit - a miracle!
very very much!

I'll try this right away!

Surely an app exists that does this....

I am trying to find a bluetooth app that will allow me to set a "default / always connect automatically" bluetooth device.
I am looking for this functionality:
- When the phone detects my car's bluetooth is in range, and it's not connected to anything else, it'll connect.
- If I turn on another bluetooth device such as my headset, it'll automatically disconnect from my car and connect to my headset
- When I turn off my headset, it'll automatically reconnect back to my car.
Currently my phone will not do this. I must manually connect/disconnect everything. Any ideas?
Takes some getting used to, but you should try an app called 'Tasker' It's kind of expensive but if you go to the devs website I think you can use it for free for like a week or so to see how it works out for ya
tasker is expensive but worth more than every cent. you can pretty much set it up ot automate anything

Getting Bluetooth Audio to autoconnect.

I have used my SGS3 for a while now with the built-in bluetooth phone connection in my car. The first time I used it I had to go through the pairing process, ever since then it automatically connects as soon as I turn on the car. I don't have to touch anything, as long as I have bluetooth turned on it connects.
So, I added a Logitech bluetooth audio receiver to the car http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Speaker-Bluetooth-980-000540/dp/B004VM1T5S
This unit paired with the phone fine, and remembers the pairing. Only problem is every time I turn it on, I have to go to the bluetooth menu on the phone and tap the entry for the logitech adapter to get it to connect. It's a few more steps that I'd like to make this work.
Can anyone suggest a way to my phone to auto connect this pairing?
I know it's uncool to bump your own post, but really........nobody?
Really unsure but try deleting the device from your phone reboot and pair again. All I can think of.

I have the same problem and I have not been able to solve the problem. I am using a Blackberry Bluetooth Stereo Gateway. It would auto connect just fin to my Evo 4G. It will not auto connect on the SIII. If I look at the Bluetooth settings I will see it briefly show Connecting before dropping off when I power up the gateway. It has been this way since I got the SIII. I have only tried the stock ROMs. I am thinking about trying an AOSP ROM to see if it makes a difference.

CM11 Bluetooth Problems

Curious if anyone would have any insight...
I hadn't used bluetooth too much, but I occasionally used it with my Pioneer car stereo. I know that CM10.1 had some issues with bluetooth, so I figured that was the reason it worked intermittently. I purchased a different car stereo, and couldn't get my Epic to pair with it. Basically it would see the car stereo, start to pair, let me enter the passkey, then bluetooth would turn off, then back on and it will keep doing this. So...I wiped everything and installed CM11, which I thought (and heard) would have much better bluetooth. But I'm having the same exact problem. At first it was saying that my passkey was wrong as it would turn off, or I might get a bluetooth process force closing, but it always ends up turning bluetooth off, then back on again as it tries to pair. I also tried pairing it with a bluetooth HMDX speaker, and the same exact thing happens. Just wondering if anyone might have a few tips on what to check out instead of going back to stock.

I have a 2014 Mazda CX-5 and a Samsung S3 and I'm having the same issue.
The odds part is that I have no problem connecting and staying connected to my pebble smart watch.

Bluetooth pairing problems

Hello, I am getting weird problem when using bluetooth devices with my HTC 10 (stock rom)
I bought a bluetooth device with aux-in for my car radio.. That way I only enable BT on my phone and devices connect without problems.
But I also have a small Bluetooth speaker I use when I renovate the apartment (JBL GO).
The problem is when I paired car bluetooth device so it can connect automatically and after that also connected bluetooth speaker this one does not want to connect. If I unpair car bluetooth device, the speaker connect normally.. also if speaker connect and I come down to my car and try to pair to car bluetooth device, it doesnt want to connect/pair... Again if I remove BT speaker from paired devices, car bluetooth device connect normally...
Why is that, anyone knows a solution? Why can I have only one BT device paired with my phone?
Thank you for answers
i have this problem too.
Had this problem myself.
Updated to the latest firmware, rom and kernel.
Currently using cleanslate.
Turn on the BT device, make sure no other BT devices are in the near radius which may confuse it, no wireless devices (I know hard in this day and age)
Turn on BT on your phone, hold it up clearly (not laying down) close all apps, and open the Bluetooth menu.
Click the Bluetooth device to make sure it's ready to pair. Then scan on the phone.
Should start picking it up.
Repeating this and turning the BT device on and off periodically, allowing for several attempts at a time before switching off..
Even really it'll work, perhaps a different rom or kernel combination may help..
I have had this problem, once connected it'll always work and work well. It's odd
Same issue somewhat..I really want to keep this device...i dooooont want to go back to the s7. But on the S7, i could have my Gear S2, Sync and LG Tone all paired at the same time...If i got a call they would all ring and i could answer on whatever device...now if i have the LG on, sync wont find the device. or the phone wont allow for sync to use the Phone, because the S2 is using that feature...what gives? just me?

Do you have another device to try it with? i have had a similar problem, but its just my terrible bluetooth rockford deck causing me grief, and an ebay pill. But it did it with a lg g3 and xperia phone as well. so i chalked it to that
Seems like HTC only allows one bluetooth profile at a time. Like it will only allow one device to use the phone profile or one device use the media profile.
I have to turn off my tone for Sync to connect. Sucks.
I've had this problem since purchasing the HTC 10 about a month ago. My Bluetooth earphones work without issue, but I've been unable to connect to my car or portable speakers (pairs but never connects).
After reading this thread, I unpaired the earphones, cleared all devices, and I was finally able to connect to my portable speaker. So glad I found this topic.
Still, I'm hoping for a fix. I don't want to bother with pairing and unpairing just to connect to a different Bluetooth device.
Similar problem
Hello !
I am having a similar issue!
I have been trying to register and pair my phone with my car's Bluetooth.
Every time I try to pair with my car an error message pops up saying "couldn't pair with Hands Free System because of an incorrect PIN or passkey" except it never even prompted me to enter the passkey...
Things I have already tried:
Resetting network settings
rebooting phone
Factory reset phone
Also , I do not have any other devices paired with my phone.
Any suggestions??
