I'm using a bluetooth car unit that acts as a BT headset. I've succesfully paired it with the phone and it works fine. But if I either turn the unit on and off or walk out of range and walk back in, I end up having to go to "Bluetooh Connections", "Devices", selecting my device, clicking on refresh and selecting the headset service againa and clicking on "Save" to make it reconnect. The car unit is set to poll the phone every 30sec, so after I re-enable the service on the phone, the unit will connect.
Is there any way to either have the phone automatically do this or maybe create a shortcut to perform this operation so it's not so painful to reconnect?
People using headsets, is this necesarry for them as well?

So i once paired my phone with my car stereo handsfree, but since it was a $100 stereo, the handsfree didn't work correctly. So i don't want to use it anymore. But the stupid stereo have no way to turn off bluetooth.
I tried deleting the stereo from paired devices, and set my phone bluetooth to "hidden" - but that stupid stereo still finds me, and a message about "bla bla wants to connect" pops up everytime i get into my car.
I also tried disconneting power from my stereo, and use the reset switch on it, which reset all settings on it - but IT STILL FINDS MY PHONE!
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? At the end of the day, i have like 10 notifications on my phone i have to go through and click "No" on...
On the Wizard did you ...?
1) Push the Comm mgr tab
2) Click on settings
3) BlueTooth Settings
4) Mode: UN-check the box "Make this device discoverable to other devices"
5) click OK.
If you didn't do that, try it.
Then go to B/T settings again and pick devices, and remove the device giving you trouble.
That SHOULD do it.
as mentioned i have already made it undiscoverable for other devices. But it still tries to connect to me...
I just got off the phone with HTC *support*. I listen to music on my phone a LOT. I have a BT8040 headset for when I am on the road, and on every other PPC I have had the BT stereo audio service runs at the start of the phone. I just hit play and poof, I have music.
Not so with the Imagio. According to HTC, the ROM is configured so that the hands free profile starts, but the stereo audio profile doesn't. You manually need to drill down through Start-->Settings-->All Settings, tap the bluetooth icon, hit the second tab, and tap Stereo Audio to start it up.
This just plain SUCKS.
When the PPC first starts, right before it loads TF3D, for a brief second I see the icon indicating the Stereo Audio profile has started, then it switches quickly back to the hands free profile icon.
Now then, using Memmaid, I see that the BTAGSVC (Bluetooth Audio Gateway) is there and set to automatic, and I also see that the dll referenced is on the Windows directory (btagsvc.dll). However, when trying to start the service it tells me that the system cannot find the file specified. I am sure it is something that HTC has placed to prevent it.
A search for "btagsvc" brings up hklm\services\BTAGSVC and a few hklm\software\microsoft\bluetooth\services entires that are numbered with big long stings that my old hands can't type due to the cold.
Here are my questions:
When I tap "Stereo Audio" in the location above, what does it do? Start an EXE and execute a command line? Can a shortcut be made to that command line or whatever and put in startup? Can the service be added to startup by getting around how ever HTC has prevented it from starting? A registry edit?
Can we find what HTC has done to prevent it from starting and running?
Any help is appreciated, I have hit the limit of my knowlege.
Quicker Drilldown
If you tap the top bar, it gives you a menu page with a bluetooth selection that takes you to where you connect to your device. It's not great, but quicker than going through start->settings, etc.
I noticed the same thing. But it's not consistent for all BT devices thankfully... my Motorola T505 connects perfectly.
I too have noticed that the BT does not work as seemlessly as it should. I leave BT on all the time and when I turn on my motorola HD headset it connects fairly quickly and works fine. If I do a soft reset, then I need to re-establish the connection.
Has anyone had issues with not being able to turn on the blue tooth service on the device? I currently am having that problem. Worked in the beginning but somewhere between then and now... it no longer will turn on... and reports that it can not be. I have looked high and low to try to figure out how BT has been disabled on this device and can find no references at all.
Being trying for the last few hours to pair with the car kit, the phone discovers the car......the car asks for a code..1234.. which I enter and push OK, the phones says pairing for a couple of minutes and then "cannot connect" at one stage it said "paired not connected" and I had to remove the battery to clear it.
Also when/if I can pair it how do I get it to remain visible so it will automatically connect.

hmmmmm.... not a nissan car kit, but i do have BT in my car, and it was so easy to pair and use.
i set my phone to be discoveable and let the car find the phone
then when they connected i entered the pass code 1234 (default on most car decks) and it was successful
then i was able to play music via BT A2DP and also call/receive calls in my car
the car and the phone both recognise each other but once the code is put in it hangs, II will try again tomorrow
I am having a problem with my car's handsfree and automatic reconnection to my Nexus 4.
My car is paired (and when it is paired I select "Don't ask again" about access to the Address book). However when I return to the car, bluetooth on the phone does not automatically reconnect to the bluetooth handsfree in the car like it did with my previous two phones (SGS2 and SGS3).
I can go into bluetooth settings, and click on the handsfree device and it connects right away and works fine, but I really don't want to do that every time I get in my car.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.
bump-- anyone?
I have a N6P, rooted 6.0.1 with Xposed. I use MacroDroid to automate some processes. E.g. I have a macro that enables bluetooth whenever I leave the house and my phone disconnects from the home wifi network. In my car I use a Parrot CK3100 bluetooth voice kit. I want my phone to automatically connect to the kit whenever bluetooth on my phone is enabled and I start my engine (and the Parrot becomes powered). Whenever I switch on bluetooth manually and it is on for some time and I get into my car and start the engine, my phone connects to the Parrot without any problems.
I also have a macro which actions are that a sound is played and it vibrates whenever the phone connects to my Parrot. But whenever I leave my house, I can see that my bluetooth is enabled but when I get into my car and start the engine, I can hear the sound and feel the vibration of the MacroDroid macro, but the screen of the Parrot still shows the Parrot logo and not the name of my phone. So MacroDroid confirms that a connection has taken place (otherwise there wouldn't be any sound and vibration), but in fact the phone and Parrot are not connected. Going then into BT settings and trying to connect manually works in 50% of the cases.
I have also tried AutomateIT to get this working, but with the same outcome. And the app Bluetooth Auto Connect (to force the connection) didn't bring any luck either.
Because when enabling BT manually before I leave the house the connection succeeds and when using the macro it does not (neither in MacroDroid not in AutomateIT), I suspect that it may have something to do with the (short) time between the enabling of BT and the powering on of the Parrot, but I'm not sure.
Anyone any ideas?
