Hi,
I have several bluetooth questions.
1. On my old TP2, once paired with BT in my car, as long as I would leave phone bluetooth on, it would auto connect every time I started my car. Nothing had to be done unless I reset the phone or turn BT off.
With ET4G, I have to manually go to BT settings and clique on my car BT to have it paired every single time I get into my car. Is that the way it works for everyone or is there a problem? It finds the car BT when I start the car, but does not auto pair.
2. I know officially Skype and Gtalk do not support BT audio out. Is there a way around? I use those apps to video chat while on the road, and on highway, speakerphone is too weak. Besides, it is located on the back of the phone, right against the windshield holder. Any ideas???
Thanks.
Mike
My BT connects every time I start my car or truck. I have a Pioneer Navigation Radio in the Car and Ford Sync in the Truck. BT has been pretty good for me so far. If you have not done so, maybe try and un-pair and re-pair it and see if that helps.
No problem here with car BT connecting automatically.
If you want Skype BT, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 (bonus: you can turn off annoying start up/exit sound)
Hey there, I have a quick question about Bluetooth.
Here is the situation: I use a bt headset when driving every time. It's a godsend etc etc. But I also have an auxiliary port on my car's head-unit which I use to plug my phone into and stream music. I would like to minimize the amount of wires going around because sometimes I also have to plug in a usb power cable into the phone and then things get messy.
So here's my question: Can I have my bt headset paired and connected, and also get a Bluetooth audio receiver (like the official htc bt receiever: http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-bluetooth-stereoclip/) and have it paired and connected at the same time. This way I can stream music but also receive calls to my headset.
Thanks

Only if the car is compatible with streaming music via Bluetooth.
Well the head-unit does not have/support Bluetooth, this much is true. However it does have an Aux port like I said, and with the device I posted (that htc bt dongle) i can plug it into the aux port and stream that way. I know this will work but I don't know if I can also still use my bt headset for phone calls at the same time.
If it matters, the headset is a Jawbone Icon.
Thanks!
no one?

Yes, you can. I use that exact setup in my Nissan Juke. You can have multiple pairings simultaneously. The music even stops when you get a call, then resumes after.

Bluetooth on tablet stays on but doesn't reconnect even though the receiver has power.
Hey guys, i got a question.
I would like to purchase the watch but i am doubting something. If my watch would be connected to my phone and i step into my car and normally my phone auto-connect over bluetooth to my car audio system. Would it still do that? And i'm i able to pick music on my watch in the car, example Spotify library, to play on my car audio.
The Bluetooth should work just fine. I don't have it with a car Bluetooth but when using the Bluetooth headphones it doesn't have any issue at all because both link directly to the phone.
The music controls are another thing, you can use it as a remote to play, pause, skip or go back through the tracks but it doesn't let you select whatever you want directly from the phone(selecting playlists or songs from them).
If you download playlists on the watch because you have premium you can go through them and select the songs just fine, but then you wouldn't be using the phone to play the music, so you should check if the car would let you have two devices connected at the same time if you want the phone linked for something else.
Tldr: Remote or standalone Bluetooth music yes, total control of the phone app no.
Ive been having issues with that as well. Do you have android auto in your car? If so, you need to go into AA options on your phone and go to quick connect and only have your phone connect.
I can confirm that you can still use BT on your car and have it connect at the same time with your watch. If you are having issue connecting just go to your car's BT settings and force the connection and it should connect to your phone for media. I use my watch when I'm driving to change a song without having to move my hand from the steering wheel.
Let me add to this that, at least for me, it is *not* possible to have the watch connected as a handsfree device to the phone together with the car kit. So the watch is connected, but I can't answer calls with it if I want the phone to connect to the carkit. It (the phone) simply rejects that request if the watch is connected.
This is why I don't want a smart watch. Only because when I sit in my car it will not connect to car and disable on watch.
Odd question. I bought a vehicle that has Bluetooth but only does phone calls. I attached a Bluetooth aux device to the radio, which allows streaming music. I need to have both to allow the steering wheel bluetooth controls for voice on my phone to work and music streaming. My phone and car work great when both bluetooth devices are connected to my phone.
So now the odd question, is there any way to have the phone pair to both simultaneously? It seems once it finds my car, then it stops looking for other devices and I have to manually connect the 2nd Bluetooth device. Thanks a head of time!

mine does this just fine. i was on a road trip bluetoothing to my fm modulator and when calls came in, it muted the music and made the phone ring thru the stock phone connection hardware. are you having troubles getting this same situation going?
No, they pair just fine. I just have to manually connect the 2nd device through the phone. It won't automatically connect to both once it finds the car.
