I was wondering if somebody knows what is going on. I lost headphone support after paring the watch withe the new IOS app. The settings options disappeared, and when I used alternative ways to pair it, like starting the built in menu using an intent (yes, it is still there), the watch is not able to reconnect to the iPhone one the connect is lost. Making the watch discoverable doe snot seem to help either.
Any ideas?

I have a 2005 Acura with bluetooth phone. My girlfriend and I both have pairing to it, she has an old Sprint A920, I have a Tmobile TP2. If we get into the car around the same time, her phone always wins! Of course the ideal solution would be if the car had a function to prioritize who gets bluetooth (if it connects hers, then sees mine, to disconnect hers and connect mine), but alas, nothing like that. I assume the car is polling for a bluetooth and picks the first one it finds. It doesn't seem related to who it paired last, or who made a call last, and we tried unpairing both then pairing mine first or hers first.
So, other than her turning off bluetooth (a pain on her phone) whenever we get back to the car, is there any solution to get it to like me more? Is the problem in the speed the TP2 connects? Any way to speed that up with the stock ROM.
And while I'm here anyway, many thanks to all the amazing people in the XDA community.

I've found that my Windows Mobile devices are slower to pair with Bluetooth headsets/car kits than the older dumbphones I've had (mostly Motorolas).
A partial solution to the problem with the Acura HandsFreeLink, if it pairs to her phone first, is to press the HFL button on the steering wheel and say "Next Phone". It will unlink her phone and link to your phone. That way you can keep both phones paired to the car if needed and still use your phone if the car happens to link with hers first.

Awesome solution, TYVM! Funny, I think I remember help telling me that command but never thought that was what it did Now I just have to find a way to say 'next phone' without my g/f hearing me
Has anyone been able to get the USB/Bluetooth version (that is, non HDMI) of MirrorLink to work?
I have a Pioneer AVH-X2700BS head unit. With the HU in MirrorLink mode, I connect the phone via Bluetooth, then connect the USB. The phone gives a notification that it is in MirrorLink mode with a "press to configure" button. When pressed, it goes to the setting menu with the MirrorLink mode enable checkbox. There are no compatible apps listed there.
The HU makes no indication that it is working with MirrorLink, other than it shuts down access to the other Bluetooth features like Bluetooth Audio and Pandora. However, the HU also doesn't present the application screen. I keep wondering if there should be some type of MirrorLink application, other than the OS support, on the phone.
By comparison, Pioneer has their AppRadio One mode that functions in a similar fashion, but makes a different set of applications available to use on-screen. That mode seems to work, but is severely limited by the low number of apps that support it.
This is exactly what I'm seeing with an AVIC-8000NEX and the N910A. I just recently switched from an iPhone 5S, so I hadn't really done any research on MirrorLink. Thinking it might only work with specific apps, I searched for "MirrorLink" in the Play Store and downloaded an app that appeared to be some kind of launcher application for MirrorLink (?). Didn't work either, promptly uninstalled.
If it makes you feel any better, the Apple CarPlay functionality on these higher end head units turned out to be a turd. It was the main reason I went to iPhone for a while.
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??

Hi all,
I'm kind of hoping someone has run into this issue and might be able to offer assistance. When I first got my LG G8, I was able to pair it to the Ford SYNC on the first try. The only problem is that the volume control was terrible. When the phone was at full volume I could barely hear it through the car speakers. I had to push it up to 20 to get decent sound, where with my previous phone, the max required was 14. When I tried searching for a solution online, the suggestion was to un-pair the SYNC from my phone and then re-pair it again. The problem is that now the phone doesn't see SYNC at all - I only come up with a bunch of Misc connections, and not a single one of them are for my car. If anyone has experience or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.

I had a similar problem with my new Jeep Grand Cherokee. The solution was to remove the phone from the Bluetooth listing on the car.. Then turn off the entertainment system by shutting off the ignition and opening the door. Reboot the phone. Then try again.
Yes, the Bluetooth connection does not seem to offer as powerful an audio signal, as does a direct hookup. In my Chrysler unit I found a menu option to boost the BT audio volume. Don't know if Ford has that. If your car supports "Android Auto" or "Apple Carplay" , the better option is to load the appropriate app on your phone and use that system.
Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem that I think shouldn't happen on this phone.
I'm stock with the latest January update on Android 10.
Info: this problem was present before the update to 10.
Whenever I connect any Bluetooth device (airpods, car, moto intercom ,etc) I have to manually unpause the music to get it to start.
This happens on every player (Samsung Music, Google Play, YouTube premium, etc)
This is the first Android phone I have that doesn't do this and that shouldn't be seeing it's top tier.
I've looked online and it seems that all Samsung phones have this feature and the only topics I get are how to disable it !?
Can anyone shed some light ? Is it happening to you as well ?
Thanks
I may not have the answer that you want to hear but I did find a temporary solution. There's an app in the play store nRF Connect that works. Slide over to bonded, put devices in pairing mode and hit scan and wah lah. Any questions I'll do the best I can to help.
I've noticed the same on my galaxy buds, but when I connect another pair of wireless earbuds that i sometimes use they connect as soon as i turn them on when Bluetooth is activated, without me manually having to go into the settings and do it. Not sure the reason for this. Would've thought the earbuds that's actually made by Samsung would be the ones connecting right away.

Hej...
I don't if this would help You...
When I got the Note 10+ there's Was, out of the box on initial settings, active few Bixby Routines... and that, till i figure out this, was driving me crazy... When I turn Bixby Routines off everything back to normal...
Well I've had a similar problem. For me the issue is that it always autostart even tho I have BT autoplay unchecked in the car. If I have listen to any music, audio books, podcasts and turn them of when I exit the car, not leave them in the background, they will start playing even if the cars media system is offline.
Works perfectly with my wifes OnePlus 6, but not for me. Extreamly annoying to noticed that the audio book is playing after a 60min drive and I haven't heard anything..
I tried the app Tasker, it was a compleat waste of $4 for me anyway, didn't work, will try nRF Connect now.
I don't want to have BT of due to that I aways have my Jabra buds with me so that I can talk while driving if needed.
