I was having an issue connecting my phone to my cars bluetooth, but called the manufacturer and was able to fix it. Certain bluetooth devices store a certain number of connected phones, and once that limit is reached, no more phones can be added. Since I did not manually unpair my prior phones, I couldn't add my G4. I had to reset my cars bluetooth receiver manually in order to remove all previously paired phones, and was then able to pair my G4 without any problems! Hope this helps!

I've also found that with many BT devices listed, either on the phone or car, it takes longer to pair as it searches for more devices. It's best to remove old devices you no longer have or connect to.

I'm working with a Nexus 7 (2013) and a Nexus 4. I've had both devices for quite awhile, the 4 for well over a year and the 7 for a year. Both are rooted and using stock ROMs. The 7 is still on 4.4.3 and the 4 on 4.4.4.
I have the two devices Bluetooth paired and sometimes connect them. For the most part, over the last year, there have been no problems doing that. Once in awhile, they won't connect, but if I reboot, they will. Now, all of a sudden, I can't get them to connect under any circumstances. They're paired. But they won't connect. They both connect to an external Bluetooth speaker and the phone connects to my car bluetooth. That happens with 100% reliability. But these devices just won't connect. And I need them to for certain work related purposes.
What could have happened?
I've unpaired and repaired them a few times. I've rebooted both devices. Potentially competing Bluetooth devices (like my car and the speaker I mentioned) are turned off. The devices aren't connected to any other Bluetooth devices.
Strangely, someone I work with who's doing the same sort of thing with the same exact devices as I am is having the exact same problems.
What could be going on? Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks.
I have a new Fire Phone running the stock Fire OS 4.6.1, rooted and with Google Play Store Installed.
My vehicle is a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country with the UConnect feature built in. I have successfully paired my phone already.
The main issue is that I have to manually connect every time I get in the car. After I leave the car or the car is turned off, it disconnects as expected, just never reconnects automatically.
I just switched over from an iPhone 4 and this is a major inconvenience. WIth the iPhone it just worked. If I was on a call and got in the car, it would automatically switch over to bluetooth UConnect and come over the cars audio system.
Is there anyway to make this work properly? I have seen a couple apps in the Play Store that seem to state they can fix this, but I am a little weary of them. Like Bluetooth Auto Connect
Does anyone have any experience with this app or have any other general advice on this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Does your car have multiple ways to connect a device to the car's stereo via Bluetooth? According to this post, using the steering wheel/voice commands makes a difference versus using the stereo's dials. Another post mentioning the same issue and fix for other phones and cars: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6760095

I am unable to connect to any of the bluetooth devices I previously used with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I have a stock, unrooted 5X and I am updated to the latest software. The devices can still be connected to on other devices, including an iPhone 5S. Does anyone know what the issue might be? I have tried toggling the bluetooth and restarting the phone multiple times. It usually does not even detect the bluetooth devices. I think something may be wrong with the phone's bluetooth.
Initially I thought that I had an issue with my Huawei Watch 2 and I posted over in that XDA Forum looking for assistance.
On further investigation, it seems there is an issue with my XL's B.T. connection. Not only does it affect the watch, I also have issues automatically connecting to my Head Units in my vehicles (I have to manually initiate the connection in the BT settings in order for it to connect to whichever car I happen to be driving, my Nexus 6P would automatically connect)
I'm rooted using Magisk and that's it, not using any fancy ROMs.
Any ideas what could possibly be wrong with the Phone's B.T.?
