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 have been patrolling the forums trying to find a solution (or at least a thread similar) to my problem. I made the move from the G1 to the Vibrant in Aug. I was spoiled by it so it feels. I've grown quite custom to my Bluetooth devices being remembered by my phone, and not having re-sync them everytime i want to use them. I'm wondering if there is a fix for this, or is this apart of the Vibrant framework and i just have to get over it? Has anyone else been experiancing this?

Speak now or forever hold your piece. This is a huge nerd farm and im sure we can all put our heads together.
Are you talking about pairing or connecting the device? I only have one bluetooth device with my phone, and the phone has no problem staying paired to it. I do have to reconnect it when I turn on bluetooth, but that's all.
To clarify:
I turn on bluetooth.
My headset is shown on the devices list.
I press it once and it connects.
Device is ready to use.
Once, the device didn't show in the list while BT was off, but when I enabled BT the device was displayed.

What i mean is, I normally have more than one BT device connected. More specifically my BT headset, and my car BT stereo. I used to be able to have both devices remembered in my device list. But now my BT Headset is the only remembered device (and sometimes, it too will disappear. Now i constantly have to re-sync my stereo. However when a re-sync is needed, i don't have to pair the devices.
On my G1, this was not an issue. So any ideas?
I have my laptop, headset, and stereo headphones paired to my phone. Haven't had any problems, they all remember fine. However, I sometimes have to disable and re-enable Bluetooth because I have a custom name for my device, and sometimes when the phone boots it forgets that it has that name and goes back to calling itself SGH-T959. I don't know if this is related... just throwing it out there.

This does help a little. Perhaps because I am still stock, I am having this issue. What ROM are you using?

I've had the problem on stock JFD, JI6, and on Bionix with JAC Voodoo kernel.
I'm having the same problem with my car's BT system. I thought it was my car till I read ur post. What happens with me, is that the car (which should connect automatically) will say that there isn't a phone available. I will then open Bluetooth settings (on my phone) and see that there are no devices listed. After cycling the BT off then on, my car will show up again, and will connect......strange

Exactly my issue. So seeing how i am not alone in the issue, does anyone know a fix or how to resolve issue? It's not a BIG problem, bnut it is annoying to have to re-sync everytime i get in my car, (or send files from my iMac to my phone).
+1 for the vibrant forgetting my bluetooth devices. I'll open my headset and I hear it say, "Ready to Pair". It's not a big deal, really-- all I have to do is turn bluetooth on, then turn it back off and all my devices repopulate. But it is an annoyance.

Ive tried that a few times, but it still yields no results for me. Any ideas.
so do we have any more suggestions from the nerd farm on how to resolve the issue?
I've had issues with Bluetooth since I bought this phone, over a number of different ROMs and kernels. Basically it refuses to connect to my car at random. Sometime it connects fine, sometimes I have to power cycle it to get it to connect. I recently started playing with Tasker and noticed something strange. Tasker is actually registering a Bluetooth connect and immediate disconnect every 11 seconds. The Bluetooth icon never changes to blue, however.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a log I can check that will give me more details on why it's not staying connected for more than a split second?

Have you tried other bluetooth devices to your phone other than your car? If yes, then it's the phone, if not, then it's the car. If it is the car, is there a way to "update" the bluetooth drivers on it? Is it a VW or BMW?

I actually don't have any other bluetooth devices to test it with. My Galaxy Nexus connects just fine to it though. It's a Logitech Liquid Aux device.
Hi,
I have had a look around and found nothing on this.
When I try to connect my moto360 to my car as a bluetooth headset (as my phone usually would) I am able to see the car's bluetooth and connect to it.
Wear shows the device as connected for a second or so then immediately shows it as disconnected. tapping on the device prompts it to connect again then disconnect straight away.
Has anyone experienced this or something similar with a bluetooth headset?
Thanks in advance.
my nexus 4 is on stock 5.1.1 rom.
since 5.0 i have problem with Bluetooth connectivity with my car, it keep trying to sync contacts from the device to the car and probably crash on the car media device, so it keep to connect/disconnect.
I don't need the phone book records in the car media device.
is there any way to disable Pbap protocol?

Can't you just go into the Bluetooth menu, turn bluetooth on, and under Paired Devices hit the cog for the BT connection to your car and just uncheck "Contact Sharing"? This should revoke the authorization and stop the sync.
