The ring I am talking abotu is when you use locate phone feature. If I do it from a pc through android.com site, then it works fine, however if I di "find phone" from my watch, it says "can't ring your phone."
The watch is still connected via Bluetooth with the phone?
I tried it and the function works fine here too.
And it works via cloud too. Disabled bt on the phone. Watch is connected via wlan and the command goes through the cloud, phone still rings.

On all my previous phones (iPhones, T-Mobile G2x, Galaxy Nexus) they would auto connect to my bluetooth device as soon as I walk in the door, but not so with the Galaxy S III.
This has become very annoying, because I have to go into bluetooth settings and manually connect every time. My bluetooth is always on, and the devices are paired, so they should just connect when I'm in range.
I've tried to use NFC tags, but all that could do is turn BT on/off, and it won't reconnect, even if you turn ON the BT from an OFF state.
Anyone else have this issue too?

Yes. My Vibrant would autoconnect to my car's bluetooth stereo, but I have to manually connect to it with my GS3. I have not found a fix.
There is a very easy solution to this. I use tasker to automate everything and after days of looking i found an extension plug in that lets you connect to a bluetooth device. Works every time.
I never keep bluetooth on anymore. It turns on and connects to stuff automatically when i plug a charging cord. Ill post settings and the extension later.

Mine auto connects to my car every time I get in. I haven't done anything special to enable it. Is it all devices or just certain ones?

Please do post more details about this. It would come in handy for those of us with BT devices that won't auto connect

How to you specify to Tasker to connect to a BT device? (Not just simply turning it on/off, because that won't help with the auto connect)

You would have to ask the Dev, rest assured he will get back to you SUPER fast, as he has with me. I'm 99% sure it can be done.

So you don't actually have the solution for Tasker? You sounded so confident with the "LOL"!
Theres a whole wiki on it and it will tell you how to program tasker. Its a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, its easy. Google also works to find different profiles as well as sharing them from a backup.
I just bought Tablet Talk for 2.50 and the only way it works is via WiFi. When I try to use Bluetooth, I get a connection error code 1. Please help me.

If no one knows or replies, you could try contacting the developer. They are meant to be very quick at replying.
Sorry I couldn't help you further.
(Think I explained what I meant better this time )

Make sure. Both devices have their Bluetooth turned on then open tablet talk on both devices and make sure Bluetooth connection is selected. On the phone hit the red Bluetooth button and select enable discovery, on the tablet it should ask u to setup devices and find the phone via Bluetooth
What Rom are you on? You might want to test it using a different Rom. There were a couple of times out there in which Tablet Talk doesn't work.
I am currently running CodeAndroid and both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections work.

I'm on the latest cm10 and I had it working the other day with blue tooth just fine but I can't get it to connect today. I was able to unchecked the option to share Internet over blue tooth before in bt settings but it won't unchecked now. The only consistent connection I have been able to maintain is off the hot spots on my galaxy nexus but it won't reconnect without me manually pushing the connect button. Has been inconsistent for sure but just attribute it to the romantic and flashing nightly.

I ran into this this weekend... I ended up UNpairing through the the bluetooth settings in the ROM itself (not the app) clearing cache / data on tablet talk on both phone and n7, then repairing through the ROM and setting up through the app. Pain in the *** and took me a few tries but now it's working great.
Unpairing and pairing again works for me.
An alternative for the app but works a different way is TabletSMS by koush. I use it more often than tablet talk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.tabletsms

I can vouch for TabletSMS. It works very well. I also have tablet talk but I use that for car connectivity by tethering it with my phone when in my car. The tether connect is flawless.
Tablet talk working fine for me.
I ran into the same issue
The only way it works for me is to press the connection button on both devices
I haven't found a way to trigger the connection from one device only (CM9 phone / stock JB tablet, bluetooth tethering on)
Email the developer, he helped me out. Awesome service.

For those having a problem with Tablet Talk relating to pairing/connecting your devices, here's a quick fix reply from the developer posted on Androidcentral.
I am the original creator and main developer of Tablet Talk. Someone emailed about this thread, which prompted me to make this account so that I can offer better support and obtain feedback.
First, mrgdr57: the app is for Android tablets and phones. Please send an email to [email protected] with the subject "Refund." Either send it from or provide the email address your order is under so that I can locate and take care of it right away!
Next, if you have not done so already, please install the update which was released very early this morning. It will help with the connection problems.
Regarding port: this setting only affects Wifi.
Wifi
If Wifi is not working, then please do the following:
Change the port to 8080 on both devices. It can be found under "Setup."
Under "Setup" on your tablet, enter your phone's IP address. Your phone's IP is displayed inside the phone app ("Phone IP: 192...."). Almost always the app finds your phone automatically; however, sometimes it is unable to. The tablet app keeps track of each network separately, so you should not have to do this every time.
Bluetooth
Sometime when Bluetooth is not working, a simple restart of either the tablet or phone fixes the problem. Once Bluetooth is setup, it should work without any problems. The previous version appeared to be having Bluetooth problems, and this morning's update (1.5.3) should help with these.
If Bluetooth has not yet worked for you, then uninstall and reinstall the app on both devices to get a fresh start.
When the app first opens, it detects whether you are using a phone or tablet. A popup appears asking you to confirm. Make sure that you confirm the correct device type. You can always change the device type in Tablet Talk's settings ("Misc" in phone, "Appearance & Behavior" in tablet). If you are texting from a Galaxy Player linked to a phone, then you will need to tell the app that the Galaxy Player is a "tablet." Also, if your phone is a Galaxy Note, the app might think it's a tablet, so be sure to identify it as a phone.
The standard solution for when Bluetooth setup is not working is to do the following:
Open Android's Bluetooth settings on both devices. If they are already paired, unpair your phone and tablet from each other.
Toggle Bluetooth off and then back on (both devices).
Pair your phone and tablet within Android's Bluetooth settings.
Phone: open Tablet Talk and press the connect button. If it asks you to enable discovery, press accept.
Tablet: open Tablet Talk and press the connect button.
Quick & Automatic Connecting
Once Tablet Talk is setup, connecting can be made much quicker and automatic for future use. Check out the Automatic Settings on both devices for the options. There is also a widget. You can tailor it to your specific needs.
Also, whenever you connect, the app will sync any newly sent or received messages on your phone from the last use.
Example configuration: When you get home from work, simply enable Wifi or Bluetooth on your phone, and then turn on your tablet. The app will take care of the rest. Automatic settings:
Tablet: auto start when app opens. Auto enable Wifi or Bluetooth.
Phone: auto start when Wifi or Bluetooth is enabled.
I will be subscribed to this thread and try to reply to new posts as often and quickly as possible. You can also email [email protected]. Feel free to send questions, feature requests, comments, etc. Feedback--good and bad--is always appreciated!

I managed to get it working by creating an ugly workaround with tasker: my tablet sends a connection request (via the autoremote plugin) to the phone who launches tablettalk (with auto-connect at startup turned on) and then the tablet launche tablettalk too with the same autoconnect option. As the two devices are trying to connect simultaneously, the connection is established correctly. That's the only way I found to get a connection (other than manually pressing 'connect' on both two devices)
contact names not consistent between phone and tablet.
This may sound strange but when I send a message on my phone and a tablet syncs, the contact name on the tablet does not match the contact name on the phone.The phone shows the name, but the tablet just shows the phone number and also when I have two people with the same last name in my contacts the phone shows the correct name but the tablet shows the other person's name, even though the phone's contact list contains completely different different information for each of the contacts

Had some conflicting issues in my contact list. Solved most.
I seem to have a problem connecting my new 10.5" tab s to my Verizon note 3 via bluetooth. It shows that they are paired but when I click connect it acts like it will connect for about 3 seconds (it says connecting...) then just goes back to saying paired. The dude at the Samsung display in Best Buy claimed these 2 devices simply cannot connect through bluetooth which didn't seem right. Tonights?
What I've tried so far: obviously restarting both devices and completely unpairing them as well to no avail...

It isn't right. I have a Note 3 also but with Sprint. I don't have any problem connecting. I would assume it is not the carrier that is causing the problem. It is well known that the Samsung reps at BB know absolutely nothing about their products. I also assume you tried shutting BT off on both devices then re-activating them? Is NFC on on your note? If it is try shutting that off as the slate is not NFC capable and it may be interfering. Just some suggestions.
I have a Note 3 as well from sprint and haven't had an issue connecting via bluetooth. I'll take a look around to see if anyone else is having this issue. Hopefully you'll be able to resolve it.
I did a factory wipe on my phone thinking that may help but was unsuccessful. Those of you who are able to connect your phone and tab, can you use the Internet connection from the phone using bt on the tab?
Update number 2...I factory wiped the tablet too and still no luck. It automatically wants to connect for Internet access and if I have the tab connectrd to WiFi it says it can't connect to bluetooth for tethering if WiFi is connected. Turning off WiFi does nothing...
I have the ATT Note 3 and am able to connect to my Tab S with Bluetooth. On both devices it only says paired. The only time it said connecting is when I initially paired the two devices, once paired the "connecting" was replaced by "paired". I can't find anywhere it says connected yet I am able to send files back and forth between the two via Bluetooth. I don't use Bluetooth to tether so not sure if that is where it's supposed to say connected. Sorry if we're talking about two different things, just trying to help.

Well I feel stupid now haha. I can't connect to use Bluetooth for an Internet connection as I was attempting, but I can send and receive files to and from the tab and phone.
Just got a Note5, and before I wipe my watch I want to see if there was any other way to sync with the new phone?
I connected via Bluetooth but the watch shows it is not connected.

Unfortunately you need to reset the watch to pair it with a new device.
As the title states, my phone will not connect to both devices simultaneously. If I connect one, the other one will disconnect immediately. I don't remember having this issue with previous phones. Any ideas on what is the issue and how to fix it?

Sorry, not sure what to say here. My S3 connects perfectly, and stays connected when another Bluetooth device connects to the phone. Do you mean, it's actually no longer connected or paired? My phone shows 'connected' to only my car for example but not the S3. However, it IS still connected to the watch. I still get notifications and such. You may try unpairing it, otherwise resetting the watch. Sorry I'm not much help here.

Maybe you're right and I'm just overreacting. I was going off of what the phone said. It says connected to one device, but does not say connected under the other. Maybe the watch is still connected and I just need to chill out. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for grounding me.
My 6P on Oreo has no trouble staying connected to my car ('17 Durango) and my Gear S3 at the same time. Works flawlessly. Now, if my P2XL would actually ship I'd be able to confirm whether that hardware combo works as well...

I thought the same thing the first time I connected my phone to my car. I even rebooted my phone. When I did, my watch buzzed that it had been disconnected, which I forgot it does when the connection is lost. It wasn't doing that when connecting to my car. I also confirmed when I received a text and my wrist buzzed. Should be all good!
