Hi,
I want to keep BT enabled on my SGS7 but also I no need to have watch connected all the time (annoying notifications). For example, I am at home and I need BT to control light in room but I no need phone to be connected with Huawei watch. How to disconnect watch (temporary) but keep BT enabled?
P.S I don't want to unpair watch because I need to quick connect after I leave house (manualy).
I used to use Secure Settings in a Tasker profile to disconnect my watch while on a phone call and reconnect when the call was over. You could probably do the same thing based on your location (at home or away).

My focus isn't automatic switching, but keeping BT enabled while watch is disconnected. I want to manualy connect/disconnect watch. There must be native option for that, but I can't find.
Now it works like this:
I enable BT on my phone -> Huawei watch connect to phone automaticly.
And I want:
I enable BT on phone -> watch stay disconnected. I manualy connect watch with phone when I need, and disconnect when I no need watch anymore. So I can use phone BT to do other things.
I've never done it, but Tasker can create a widget that would let you run the toggle profile manually.

Android Wear app on phone.
Gear symbol upper right
Touch :"HUAWEI WATCH connected"
Toggle "Connected" slider off
That leave phone BT on and does not require repairing watch, just slide it back on and the watch reconnects.

I am trying to find a bluetooth app that will allow me to set a "default / always connect automatically" bluetooth device.
I am looking for this functionality:
- When the phone detects my car's bluetooth is in range, and it's not connected to anything else, it'll connect.
- If I turn on another bluetooth device such as my headset, it'll automatically disconnect from my car and connect to my headset
- When I turn off my headset, it'll automatically reconnect back to my car.
Currently my phone will not do this. I must manually connect/disconnect everything. Any ideas?
Takes some getting used to, but you should try an app called 'Tasker' It's kind of expensive but if you go to the devs website I think you can use it for free for like a week or so to see how it works out for ya
tasker is expensive but worth more than every cent. you can pretty much set it up ot automate anything
Hello everyone, I am kc which come form Hong Kong :laugh:

No idea about your phone's bluetooth turning on by itself, but if it's off, I don't know how a bluetooth device could make your phone activate it.
The bluetooth on the watch can be turned off by using airplane mode, but of course this also disables wifi. So your watch won't receive any data.
Being able to turn off bluetooth while leaving wifi on would be a good option, but you can't. When on wifi, the watch keeps trying to find the original bluetooth connection.

If you put it in to Airplane mode then reenable WiFi it'll keep the WiFi on while leaving the bluetooth disabled

Good information, and quite unintuitive. I'll have to try that out for battery life.
I think you already got the answer. Here is the user guide for Sony Smart Watch 3. I hope you will find it help you.

Does anyone know a way to tell the phone to connect to the car bluetooth for calls rather than the watch when I get in the car? Then also switch back to watch bluetooth calls when I leave the car?
thanks
Does the car connect to the phone at all when you get in, or does being connected to the watch block this?
I'm wondering if you place the call/answer the call with the car's menu system/steering wheel controls what happens, or if you are unable to even get this far.
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem.
Carkit does connect (you can see in settings) but it says "(no phone calls)".
Watch is alsoo connected and says "(phone calls)
When i use voice control or the buttons on the dash to start a call it says no phone connected.
So my phone says that it is connected to carkit (no phone calls notification however), but if i look in settings from carkit it does'nt show phone connected...
The phone doesn't even connect to the car - I have to go into bluetooth settings on the phone and manually swap between the two when I get in and out of the car. I only connect to the cars on phone, not media audio.
I use the phone in 2 different cars, so ideally want to be able to automatically prioritise which bluetooth it connects to. I know there are apps like tasker which can do this but they are so complicated (or I'm too blonde!).
other thread
Found another thread already covering the subject...
Hope this helps...

I have one bt speaker this phone seems to auto connect with. I would like to pair with it, but manually when needed.
So far I have had to set up macrodroid with autotools to make it happen..so after the device is disconnected autotools disables the media and phone profile. Then I can manually connect each time.
There really should be an option in android to do this

You can set up a NFC Tag to turn on Bluetooth when you need it and turn it off manually when you want to but other than that I don't know.
yes, thats another option.
Looks like ill have to keep using my settings I used on my previous phone. Enable\disable bt with screen on, and enable bt when wireless charging is connected in the car holder.
Hey guys, pretty sure a lot of people out there are using a smartwatch along with their Pixel so maybe someone can help me with this: when my Galaxy Active 2 smartwatch is connected most of the time I can not use voice input with Google Assistant / search. When I wake up the Assistant by long-pressing power the device starts listening but apparently can't hear me. When I disable Bluetooth or power off the watch everything's working just fine.
The weird part is this though: most of the time the watch is connected, a Bluetooth icon with two dots on the left and right can be seen in the status bar, but not always! And only when the icon is NOT there, while the watch is STILL connected and fully usable, voice commands DO work! What on earth is going on there?
Same thing with the camera app: when the watch is connected and the icon is there, the cam app tells me a Bluetooth microphone is connected. When the watch is connected and the icon is NOT there, the app doesn't tell me. With the cam it is not a problem either way though because here I can choose what audio source I wanna use, while in the Google app I can't.
Any ideas?
It seems that your Galaxy Active 2 gets recognized by the P6 as a Bluetooth microphone capable device, ergo it won't use the in-build phone microphones.
Does it have microphones, by the way?
You can always change the system "primary" source of a microphone/sound source by going into the Sound menu (press volume rocker, press on three dots, change there or go into See more).

Yeah I'm looking for a way to do that, change primary audio source, but I don't see any options for that in the sound or any other menu...
I'll add another bug to the list.
When a watch capable of making and receiving calls (Huawei Watch GT2 Pro) is connected, initiating a phone call from a BT headset/earbuds starts a phone call through the headset, but as soon as the phone call connects, the audio switches from BT headset to phone internal speaker.
You have to disable the "phone" function of the BT settings for the smartwatch to get this to work properly.
This didn't use to be the case, so it's clearly a new bug either in P6P or Android 12.
