Bluetooth auto connect? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hey guys
So I'm trying to connect my bluetooth to my car...and it works great.... however, everytime i turn on bluetooth from my phone, it has a pop up box asking me if I want to connect to my car.... is there a way to bypass this? as in when i turn on my phone's bluetooth, it should connect immediately to my car?
i have previous motorola androids that did this...not sure if we can with the galaxys4

All you have to do is wait till the car listed turns blue and hit cancel. That screen will always popup
S4

so its not really auto connecting then...u have to specificy which bluetooth device u want the phone to connect to?

How to set bluetooth automatic reconnect after disconnect?

How can you set the HD2 bluetooth to automatically reconnect to the last connected audio device if a disconnect happens ?
For instance if you move away from the bluetooth device too far and it disconnects, and then you come back close - automatic reconnect does not happen.
The iPhone automatically reconnects when you are back in proximity.
This is important for the car kit.
Thanks
Using H710 bluetooth headset and the same question. I set the phone down, get 10 feet away, come back and have to do the sync all over again. I should be able to just come back into range and have it reconnect. Also, if I've sync'd it once, all I should have to do is turn on the headset and have it reconnect.
you should be able to press the call button and or play button and it should automatically connect, failing that turn off and then back on your headset should connect to the last device.is your phone swithed to always discoverable.

[Q] Bluetooth Connection Problems

Hi all
I'm hoping for some help with a niggling issue with connection on my HD2. I am trying to connect it to my Pioneer head unit in my car. I am able to get it to connect in 'Open Connection' but I have to turn blue-tooth on after I turn on the head-unit. I have tried to register the handset which is sees but doesn't pair....I know I am using the correct pair pin as I have had it paired in the past. :S
Obviously it is an inconvenience in having an open connection and having to turn on and off all the time but i'd rather it connected as soon as I turn on the headunit without messing about with the phone each time.
Can anyone shed any light onto this problem?

[Q] Driving mode issue

Have a TMobile 900T and I can't get the Driving Mode to stop. I turn it off, uncheck the box, even do a force stop and it still comes on when I start to drive. I'd rather CHOOSE it than have it make the call itself. Any ideas?
Go to setting/locations/my places and remove/edit your car/bluetooth connection. For safety Samsung is "forcing" people to have hands free while driving. As soon as you pair you car radio with bluetooth in location settings, then as soon as the phone (bluetooth on) detects your vehicle's bluetooth, it automatically turns car mode on. The alternative is to switch off bluetooth

Thanks for the answer! Which means I can't play my music via bluetooth and the app doesn't play well with Pandora, near as I can see. Great. I appreciate the concern but I don't like being 'forced' to do anything, just as a matter of principal.
Any way to disable this? Any one have a better idea?
A custom rom is at this stage the only answer....and hopefully the rom developer has changed that in the rom

BT not auto connecting to audio devices

My Turbo 2 doesn't auto connect to the two BT audio devices I have (car stereo and motorola buds). It auto-connects to my Pebble fine, but I have to manually connect to the buds and the stereo each time I use them.
I can't seem to find a setting for making them autoconnect, but I could be missing something. Any tricks to get it to auto connect like my old Moto X would?
That happened to me with this phone and my car stereo. What I did to fix it (by accident) was wait until my car stereo was attempting to connect to the bluetooth and then turn the bluetooth on my phone off and then right back on. It connected right away and auto connects whenever I use my car stereo. Give it a shot.
I do know if u don't set as a trusted device it won't auto connect on mine.

I didn't expect that to work, but it did.
:good:
Noticed with Sync (Ford) it sometimes pauses and I have to turn BT off then on.
UPDATE: Turn off all the moto assist stuff, no more problems.

Bluetooth connecting but not really

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?
