So I have had my phone since it was released and used it with my BMW to make and receive calls and listen to music. This week I got a huawei watch and now I have issues in my car. I am not getting sound through the car and it disconnects and reconnects. I read you can have 7 devices connected to Bluetooth at one time. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
Generally speaking, there should not be a problem. I rent cars frequently (for business trips) and pair my phone most of the time with the head unit to listen to my music or make/receive phone calls. I did not experience any problems so far, since I have my watch. The phone connection to the head unit was always stable and I was able to initiate calls by "OK Google" command. The connection of the watch to the phone was also stable.
I did not get a BMW though since I have my watch (It's actually very random what cars I get). So I can't confirm that there is no particular problem with some car/phone combination.
I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and can confirm stable connection with Ford, Jeep, Citroen, Renault, Nissan and Opel head units for the models I drove.

I'm thinking about buying a Bluetooth cordless phone set, the type that can link to a cell phone via BT. This is the Vtech phone I'm looking at:
http://tinyurl.com/23b2aou
The way it works is that the cell phone and Vtech pair-up and calls that are received from the cell phone ring on the Vtech when it is in BT range, so I'm able to pick them up on any of the Vtech phones in the house. The Vtech has touch buttons on the touch screen for "Home" and "Cell," so I can use either. This sounds good on the surface but as I understand it there are drawbacks and limitations.
First, I routinely use a BT headset on the cell phone around the house, and BT devices can only be used with one device at a given time? I'm assuming this holds for use, not pairing. My questions are these:
1. While paired with the cell phone will the BT headset still work with the cell phone as long as it isn't taken on one of the Vtech phones?
2. If I get a call on the Home line will I be able to use the BT headset while the Vtech is paired with the cell phone? What about the reverse, if I get a call on the cell phone? I know I can't use the BT headset while receiving or making a cell call on the Vtech.
My understanding is that if BT isn't being used you can use it in another capacity even while paired elsewhere. IOW if the cell phone is paired to the Vtech and I want to use the BT headset with the cell phone I can do it. The same goes for the Vtech, but only on the Home line. That brings up another question:
3. If I push the "Call" button on the BT headset and it is paired to both phones, which phone will respond?
Most of these questions revolve around my inexperience with using two BT devices together. Has anyone owned this or a similar system or have a good understanding of how BT works with three devices and can shed some light on these questions?
Fifty-one people have read this thread and not one has ever done this or knows how Bluetooth would work with this setup?
I have used moto S9 until my son broke it. i had paired it with multiple phones & what i notice is that once you just setup a pair to a device it will search for that device first for a good couple of mins until it does not find it & then will pair up to the other device i want to use it on as long as that device has the bt on. it will not allow you to pair up 2 device unless the settings are setup to allow you too.

Thanks for the reply. I've got more of a grip on what will happen if I try to pair my BT headset to this land-line phone, but there is one thing that is still up in the air. If I pair the headset to the Vtech phone will it lose its pairing to the cell phone? I read one owner report that headsets can only pair to one device at a time. I would assume there would be a conflict if I used either while both are paired, as how would it know which to give precedence to?
I'm not keen on this idea, but what if I bought another BT headset just like the one I have now? Could I use one on the cell and the other with the land-line phones?
If the Vtech had an audio port I could simply connect a wired headset, which is what I'm doing now with my old land-line phones, but these don't have such ports. They also don't have belt-clips, which for me is a negative. I'm now leaning away from BT for my land-line phone system.
Anyone else having problems with the N L 900 not maintaining the connection via bluetooth headsets? From my left hip to my right ear the connection will drop for no apparent reason then reconnect 30 seconds later. I have tried two different headsets, Jawbone and Elite Sliver, and the problem persists.
I have a bluetooh module in the house that my phones pair to so I can answer calls with landline phones, a car kit and two stereo headsets.
I have never dropped connection with 4 different manufacturers equipment.
I have seen amazing range and no dropoouts with BT. I left my headset on my desk and went downstairs with the phone and was shocked to see it still paired. It's almost *too* good.
Hi all,
I got a Huawei Smart Watch a few weeks ago to use with my Nexus 6P which I've had for a while.
For some reason when the watch is connected to the Nexus 6P with Bluetooth Audio switched on in the Watch, it won't connect to the Car's Bluetooth when the car is switched on.
Is anyone having this same issue? is there anyway of fixing it apart from turning off the Bluetooth Audio function on the watch?
Surely the phone could priorities the Car's Bluetooth. I don't seem to see this issue with either other watches or phones.
So I have a pair of Anker earbuds (which I can use to make calls) which connect first time, every time and work flawlessly. I use them out and about & when travelling to listen to podcasts etc on the phone.
But around the house, I prefer a simple mono bluetooth headset I can quickly pop in my ear and still have one ear free (and not have to mess around with wires between the buds). I had a Jabra Mini, which I just returned. Most times when I switched on the headset, it just wouldn't connect. If it did connect, sometimes the mic just wasn't working and the other party couldn't hear anything and would hang up. And if it did connect and they could hear me, often as not there would be massive interference, bad enough that the call needed to be ended and I'd have to switch off the headset and use the phone speaker and call again.
So I returned it and got a Jabra Stealth yesterday. It paired straight off and a call to a friend was marked as "flawless". Then today, I turned on the headset and it simply wouldn't connect. I reset the headset - then it wouldn't pair. Restarted headset and phone, and managed to pair them. Made a call and all was well. Except this is exactly how things started with the Mini...
So has anyone else had success with Jabra? (I stuck with Jabra as they're so well regarded in the UK). And can anyone recommend a decent headset that they have found works with the Pixel 2? My price range is around £40 ($60 or so) and I'm in the UK. (I wish Anker did a mono headset.. )
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone
A few days ago no one has been able to hear me when I'm on call via car Bluetooth. When connected the audio/calls settings look as they should be.
I tried my husband's s22 and he doesn't have any issues with my car so it's come down to my phone.
