I have a Huawei pods that I usually used with my old phone. When I tried to pair the first time with my RM5G they didn't show at the first time, but I refresh the menu and they showed up.
Maybe you need to refresh everytime you want to use them, because it seems it has some struggles when you try to connect your RM5G with a BT device.
But for me now, I just take them out from my case, switch on the bluetooth on the phone and he recognize them.
Try to refresh it, you probably already did it but it's what it worked for me.
Thx

I have tried probably a million things. I finally got my pc and my evo to pair, but they refuse to connect. Basically I wanna use bluetooth tether. So far the only thing I have been able to do with bluetooth is push a file to the phone. Seems like bluetooth isn't a very good feature on android. Anyone got any ideas?
Having the same problem. My mac can send files to the phone but when I try to get files from the phone to the mac it wont connect, just pair, and an error pops up that says"this device doesnt have the necessary services"
PROTIP: The bluetooth stacks in your computer suck, and probably the one in your phone sucks because you're using stock.
Just sayin' it how it is.

Welcome to XDA!
Seriously, though... Which wireless tether program are you using?
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.
So, I have been having problems with the Bluetooth on my S4 since I got it, and so have some other people based on my research. I am now hearing scattered reports that whatever update AT&T put out (the apps on the SD card update) has solved the problem. I am wondering how hard it would be to look at the update, see what they did, and implement that change on my device somehow? Or, do you think it's heavily tied into other things that wouldn't make it easy? I really don't care about the apps on the SD card and such, but I really need my Bluetooth to work correctly pairing with my vehicle, and I'm getting annoyed that I have had to jump through the hoops I do currently to make it work when the phone is brand new.
As a side note, Windows 7 is telling me it can't find drivers for my phone as well when pairing to my PC via Bluetooth. This also isn't helpful. Possibly not related to the first problem, but has anyone else solved this? I searched around a little and found not much more than "me too" and "same here", but no one really solved how to get it connected properly.
EDIT: I found some information on this update. It looks like the Bluetooth stuff was definitely patched as I suspected. I am still wondering if we can somehow patch this into our phones.
Reference material:
The updater script is HERE which lists Bluetooth a number of times.
Single posts by user Aou posted HERE and HERE also list the Bluetooth changes.
I also found a copy of the update HERE.
So, can I pull the updated stuff from that file and install it on my phone? Or is it more complicated than that?
I use Ford Sync with mine. I have no problems at all.
You may try clearing cache and data on blue tooth. I heard that can solve your problem.
On your pc insall Kies...it will install drivers fir you. Then get rid of Kies...its useless.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. Are you connecting both calls and media audio to your Ford?
A Google search for "Galaxy S4 Bluetooth issues" will show plenty of people having issues, so it's not just my device. Also, this problem has persisted since new, it has NEVER worked right. It has also persisted through multiple ROMs and plenty of wipes and clears. It is an issue in the device itself, hence why the AT&T update fixed it for other people.
Also, not only are the drivers available separate from Kies on Samsung's website (which I use on my laptop), but I do have Kies installed on this PC and it still doesn't work.
Using both media and phone with hyundai premium audio. Syncs contacts and works perfectly every time. Not a single problem with this phone.
I'm not trying to argue that there is something wrong, but there is obviously something different between various manufacturers of vehicles. Here are some threads discussing the problem:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/278206-galaxy-s4-bluetooth.html
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...96510-bluetooth-paired-but-not-connected.html
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/290639-bluetooth-will-not-auto-connect-car.html
In one of the threads I have read (can't remember which one), at least two people who previously had the problem said the OTA update from AT&T fixed it. That's all I am getting at. I am wondering what it was in the OTA update that fixed it since obviously I am one of the unlucky people who are experiencing this problem.
Maybe I missed it but what's the issue exactly?
Something that's bugging me, and might be your issue also, is when I'm in the car the phone doesn't automatically connect to my car.
I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty equipped with uConnect and everytime I turn my phone on I have to manually select uConnect in the Bluetooth devices list to pair my device. I don't have to reset it up and pair it from scratch but it doesn't automatically pair for some reason.

Yes. Everything works. I just had to delete my S3 from Sync.
I have not had any problems at all.
As far as ur pc goes....dumb question. ..did you restart after installing drivers? Some people forget to do that. Just asking.

This is similar to mine, but not the same. I guess I wasn't very specific, but then again, I'm not trying to solve the problem any other way than seeing the feasibility of porting whatever fix was in the OTA update because I don't believe anything else will fix it. I also contacted the engineering department of the vehicle device and they told me it's a known issue isolated to the Galaxy S4.
Anyway, my phone will reconnect to call audio, but gets stuck connection to media audio and will never connect unless I toggle Bluetooth off then on again. Or, it will connect to call audio, but not re-select the media audio. Everytime I turn off Bluetooth or the car, I have to either re-pair, or toggle it to get it to fully connect. Once it does connect, it's fine.
For what it's worth, the Bluetooth Auto Connect app in the market might fix your issue of automatically re-connecting. Check it out HERE. I had played with this app hoping it would solve my issue by telling it to automatically connect both calling and media audio, but it didn't. Nor did A2DP volume which does similar things. This one can also automatically start an application on connection (for instance I was having it auto start Pandora for me). It also has a feature that can capture your GPS location at the time of disconnect. This means you could get out of your car in a huge parking lot, it captures the GPS location, and you can navigate back to the car later easily. That one can be seen HERE.
Check them out, might fix your problem.

Yes. Multiple times. Again, Google search "Galaxy S4 Windows 7 drivers" will give you a whole list of people who have the same problem...
Strange thing to note. The phone pairs with my laptop running Windows 7 much better. I can play audio through the laptop from the phone, transfer files, etc. The desktop PC displays a message that says the device "needs troubleshooting". When I do that, it says the driver cannon be found, yet it works ok with my laptop. Very strange.
I think I got a fix for you here.

This I can recommend a fix for. I had the same issue with my Clarion aftermarket deck (issue did not occur on my previous Android devices). Google Play Store has an APK called "Bluetooth Auto Connect". This runs as a background process and will fix the issue for you.
\\
Still wondering about extracting whatever they did to the Bluetooth...
Thanks everyone about the recommendation for Bluetooth Auto Connect. Hasn't failed since I installed it, way more convenient now.
Thank you!
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!
Hi all,
Not sure if this is a common problem, but on my Pixel 2 XL, I cannot get any other phone to connect to it via Bluetooth?? I'm trying this so I can try Daydream with the Controller Emulator app but so far, 3 different android phones can pair, but will not connect. Have tried all the basic troubleshooting, any ideas??
Cheers for any help!

Yeah, same here. I thought I was doing something wrong so it's kind of nice, sorry, to see I am not the only one having this problem. I had tried all of my phones and even the newest on that I replaced with the Pixel 2 XL. Maybe because we just got an update to 6.1.0? Maybe that's what has changed and I hope we can figure this out. I have a really nice headset that I would like to try Daydream with to see if I want to take the plunge for the Headset and controller.
I was having a similar issue with my Pebble app. Watch would pair with phone, but the app would not connect or would have issues connecting. Turns out I needed to add special permission for unrestricted data usage for the pebble app. Also, bluetooth is by default optimized under battery options. I tried leaving it there and it killed the connection after about 20 minutes and I couldn't reestablish it. So, it's not being optimized now.
I also had issues with phone to phone file transfers using bluetooth. It worked once then stopped. I'm going to see if the file transfer service maybe needs special permissions like the pebble app did.
None of this was an issue on 7.0 so not sure what's changed.
Edit: So the Pebble thing was resolved with a factory reset of the watch. Turns out to be coincidence that it stayed connected for a day after the permissions change. The file transfer over usb is still having issues.
It seems like Google's update did something to it I believe
