Every time my car connects via Bluetooth I get a window and notification sound on my Note3 that asks me if I want to make my device discoverable or something along those lines. My car successfully connects but I have to click cancel on this window every time. Does anyone know how to disable this?
Thanks

The pop up refers to whether or not you wish to share your contacts and other files from the device with your audio systems capabilities. There is a radio dialog you can click on so it will accept your initial answer and no longer prompt.
Hope this helps!
Thank you, however this pop up has nothing to do with sharing contacts. It lists my phone on top with a check box to make it discoverable. And it shows my connected car audio system below. If I tap the lower entry it will ask me if I want to disconnect from my car. If I tap the other one it puts my phone into discoverable mode for 2 minutes. The problem is the phone is already connected.

Strange... The only thing I could suggest would be to look at your BT settings on the device. Maybe some type of menu item has been selected thus causing this popup to occur. The only other method is to delete the paired device from your vehicle's BT system and add it again in case some type of glitch happened during the discovery and pairing process.
Hope this helps!

I get this too, but it's with my Motorola headset, not a car device. I just hit cancel. Sure would be nice if it would stop doing that.
Same here with my car's bt. I just hit "home" every time...

Well, I too get this window when I connect to my bt speakers at work and furthermore I'm not sure why I have to always physically connect. on my nexus as soon as I turned on bluetooth it would automatically connect.

Hi folks,
I upgraded my Hermes with Schap's Windows Mobile 6 ROM. Works fine so far. But when I try to use my Bluetooth GPS it acts strange.
I paired the Bluetooth device and set up a COM-port for the applications. The first time it works. The next time, when I switch on Bluetooth and start for example TomTom, the Hermes tells me there is a new Bluetooth device that wants to connect. I checked and found out the GPS is still in the list of known Bluetooth devices and the COM-port is set. But the assistant is still bugging until I add the "new" device. After that of course my "old" device is gone.
How can I avoid this? Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I have the same issue, really annoying so would love to know the answer

On your Hermes:
Have you tried to checked off: "Make this device visible to other devices"?
Under: Start\Settings\Connections\Bluetooth\Mode (2nd tab on the bottom)
Option #1 (Hermes)
~If, "Make this device visible to other devices is not enabled, delete the pairing for your GPS.
~Check off "Make this device visible to other devices"
~Pair your GPS again (ensure that "Make this device visible to other devices" is still enabled)
Option #2 (GPS)
Don't know what kind of settings for bluetooth you may have on your GPS. I found for my car stereo, that I needed to leave it, in the "waiting/open for connection mode.
Now when I turn the car on it automatically connects the phone and stereo off my Hermes.
What I'm basically saying here is there may be a setting to leave your GPS automatically open for bluetooth connections?
I think option #1 may do the trick....
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

If your concerned about Security you can always change the Pairing codes.
and or turn off bluetooth when not needed.
I'm unaware of any cases where one can connect unless there paired, so in most cases access needs to be allowed on both ends, usually needing pairing codes. Even if it is one way, an approval code will still be needed.
What I found is this, if you want automatic connecting with one way pairing codes i.e. (Car Stereo to PDA or GPS to PDA) You'll need to allow "make device visible" checked off. The usual cause is a memory storing issue with the GPS or Car Stereo. I know that on high end Stereo's and GPS's they have on board memory which will save connection settings, where you'd put pairing codes on both ends and it will save the settings, thus negating the need to leave visible.
Don't know if I answered your question?
Hope I was able to shed some light on the subject....
Good Luck!
I have a Sony BT2500 bluetooth headunit in my car and I paired my Touch to it without any problems. The only issue I am having is that when I get back into the car it automatically re-connects the phone BT function but will not automatically reconnect the BT Stereo/AD2P function. Is there are way I can set it so that it will auto connect both?

I saw this on another forum, the op stated that if you press the number 6 on the head unit it will cause your bt-2500 to activate the bt audio connection with your touch. I haven't tried it yet, but will when I get home. I've always had to go into BT settings on the touch and hit refresh so I hope this works.

I made the same mistake. For six months I though it was not compatible according to some of the reviews. Then one day, out of boredom, I read the manual. Yes, I supposed to press number 6 when I get in the car. There is the saying "Read the f* manual". Amazingly how many time I found this true.
Previously i had an S3 that would automatically connect call audio and media to my 11 wrx. This worked perfectly as i listen to pandora on my way to and from work.
My new s4 only automatically connects the call audio and not media. I have to manually connect the media everytjme the car turns on.
Is there any way to change these defaults?

I'm having similar issues. I cannot change the default profiles and the phone doesn't autoconnect at all. If I turn off the bluetooth and turn it on, the media will connect.
On my Galaxy Nexus I had no issues, both profile boxes were checked and the phone would connect to hpne and media as soon as I turned the car on.
This is frustrating because one of the primary uses for my phone is music in the car and I really love the way the bluetooth works with calls in the car.
^so any ideas on a fix?

I have the opposite - connects to Media but not to phone
I also have a 2011 Subaru WRX and have difficulty with my SGS4 auto connecting. As stated by the original post, upon turning on my car, my phone connects the "phone" portion and not the "media." Any help would be appreciated as this is quite annoying. I was previously with an HTC DNA...which auto connected with ease in both aspects, yet didn't display song data. Now, my situation is reversed in a sense...haha....

Maybe the issue is actually with the car. I have a 2013 Subaru Legacy
I'm sure your setup is the same as mine but thought I'd share. I never touched the settings when I first paired the phone to my '12 civic.

After manually connecting by hitting both those checkboxes repeatedly, it will eventually look like that.
I've been using the Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit for the last year with my Nexus 4.
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-BlackBerry-Smartphones/dp/B004CLYJ2I
For the most part it has worked great. However, my new Note 3 will not connect automatically to the device, I always have to turn the screen on and select the bluetooth device to connect to it. My Nexus 4 would simply connect to it automatically if the bluetooth was switched on.
Any ideas?

I had similar issues with my bluetooth headset. When I would press the connect button on my bluetooth it wouldn't automatically connect, and the only solution I found was re-arranging my quick toggles in the notification bar so when I pull it down I can quickly access bluetooth settings and devices.
Yep am having problems with note 3 bluetooth. For a top of range phone, this bluetooth is crap. 2 headsets works when it wants and 6 works wagons only works in some! Am surprised no one else as commented on the bluetooth

I had the same issue that my N3 didn't connect automatically to my BT-devices. I stumbled over a thread where I found some one else having the same issue who recommended the app "Bluetooth auto connect". I downloaded the app and now it just works. If you have the BT-scan dialog enabled, you see how it switches between the different paired devices in the list until it locks on to the one that's in range.
If you don't like that dialog, you can disable it using wanam (I think). Hope this helps.

Not for me. But I may not be the average user. I'm getting 3 days of battery life out of my N3. I only turn wireless (3g / wifi) on when I need it and do the same with BT. But I found it really inconvenient to have to select my connected BT device. For switching BT on and off, I use tasker. I have a setting that checks for the music app of my choice, and when I start it and have no headphones connected, tasker turns on BT.
I am coming from a long history of HTC use and so I apologise if this question has an obvious answer.
Previously, if I wanted to connect to my bluetooth in the car (previously paired with), I would just hit the bluetooth button in quick settings to turn it on and that was it, just like connecting to wifi.
If I do this on my S7E, I then get another screen popping up that tells me my device is visible to others and lists previously paired devices for me to select from, and then I have push the back button to leave that screen?
Is there a simpler way as I used to do on my HTC?
cheers

PS - I am sure this will be the first of a number of questions as I get used to TouchWiz and Marshmallow......Sorry.....

Have you ever *paired* your new phone with your car?
I've only had two cars with BT in them, but in both cases the car and phone had to be paired before they would work together.
Once that was done then it would work as you expect.
Specifics of getting your *car* into pairing mode I can't help with, but once you do that you should be able to select it while scanning from the phone (as you've seen already the phone will list devices it finds) and you can finish walking through the pairing.

Oh yes, it was paired with the bluetooth fine (its actually a visor BT device, not the car itself), and when I turn on the BT it shows up on the list of previously paired devices)
Don't have to make it a trusted device for it to auto-pair?
Why turn Bluetooth off at all?
Just leave it on.

Dave

Nope, just had to be paired.
Trusted Device brings in the Smart Lock stuff, which enables the option of having your phone NOT authenticate you (pattern/pin/finger/passwd) when connected.
For example, I have my car bluetooth set as a trusted device so that when I'm driving I don't get any identity challenge to use the phone (like for navigation), the screen will just come on as requested.
Smart lock is blocked by my exchange administrator as I get my work emails on my phone.
I turn the Bluetooth on the phone off because I don't turn the one in the car off and it's just outside the house and will stay connected.
