Bluetooth connection - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to get the SGS4 to automatically connect to Bluetooth once it has been paired? It seems as though I must go into Bluetooth settings, select device and check phone and audio. Seems ridiculously tedious. Am I missing something?

I was in the same boat. U may install "bluetooth auto connect" to solve this issue.

Bluetooth not connectig automatically to the car kit

Hi guys,
I have a very strange problem with my beloved note. After I get in the car and drive off I remember that I have to turn bluetooth on so it can connect to the hands free system. The thing is that it doesn't connect automatically, I have to go into the settings and tap the BT name in order to connect it. If on the other hand if I have BT already enabled on the phone before starting the car, it conmects automatically. With the first version of GB the Note had in November I didn't have this issue, but after the first update it started not to work. Now I am on official unrooted ICS 4.0.3. Never had this problem with any other phone.... Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can try Automatic Bluetooth Toggle PRO (I think there is trial version on Google Play). I don't know if it will help you. If not then I'm sorry you will probably have to go back to GB. I'm still on GB as I was also having issues with bluetooth on stock ICS (CM9-based ROMs worked well though).
Thanks a lot. GB had the same annoying problem though :-(... so it's not that....

Hi,
Did you allow the pairing automatically between the devices?
When you pair at installation, it isn't permanently (= automatic) yet. When you get in your car and pair for a second time, normally your phone asks you if you allow your hands free system to access your phone; at that moment you have to tick "don't ask me again" and "yes" for automatic paring.
You might want to disassociate the two and try a new setup (pairing).
To disassociate, stop the system in your car (that cuts the BT connection between the two), disassociate on the phone (push and hold your hands free system in the BT section of the phone and chose disassociate), reboot your phone (so it forgets your cars BT system) and start pairing all over again.
I would provoke the second connection so you get the "automatic" question to make it work.
Good luck :good:
I have the same problem with the original ICS rom.
Flashing a custom ICS rom fixes this problem.
I tried kingdroid (worked ok)
I tried Cyanogen (phone ok, no media audio over BT but connection OK).
I had a similar problem after upgrade with stock ICS through software update. I couldn't pair Note with Mercedes bluetooth. Galaxy Note recognized Mercedes BT & vice versa, but connection was impossible. I read every forum on internet but no help. Everybody was blaming Samsung and ICS. Some suggested resseting Note to factory default, others downloading bluetooth app etc.
Until...I finally figured out that something was confusing my car's BT, so I resseted car system, and the problem was solved.

These is a twist with "old" BT systems and ICS: Old BT systems want you to insert a pin code, ICS wants you to to confirm a code that the BT system sends and that ICS shows on the screen.
It's obvious that that ICS on an old system can be a hassle.
A work around is to put the car in discover mode (so it shows the pin code) and then send a contact (or a picture) from the phone to the car system. As the car replies, your phone will show the possibility to insert the PIN Code.
After that your system should work.
At second connection make the pairing automatic (as I described above) and you're happy.
(This is not my discovery, I found this solution on the SE XPeria Ray forum as I had problems with my wifes phone )
Thaks a lot. I will try as soon as I get the chance and will let you guys know.

So with the workaround mentioned above - it doesn't work. When turning on bt on the phone it won't automatically connect to the car.

Try A2DP Volume on the market.
I have the same problem as you. I used a leaked ics rom on my galaxy s2 and also had the same problem we now have on our ics galaxy notes. My car's head unit is a 3 year old eclipse cd5030. For the last month ive just been manually pairing it every time. PITA. Ill try the workaround suggested earlier in this thread and let you know. Otherwise i think cyanogen mod rom may work.

I had similar issues with Parrot 9200 kit in my car. Paired automatically under GB but on stock ICS wouldn't pair unprompted. Sometimes it would but only after minutes.
I'm on Paranoid Android 0.4 now which is CM9 based. It's better but often still slow to pair unprompted. Main improvement for me is that the phone doesn't carry on playing music through its own speaker, like it did on stock ICS, when I turn off the engine.
There is an app on the market called "Auto Connect 2.0", but it is only available for ICS and above Android versions

i have same problem with my note, but with my Galaxy S1 works fine, when i upgrade the android to 4.0.4 solves the problem.

Disable autoplay on bluetooth connection

Is there anyway to disable the autoplaying of music on my phone when it connects to the car bluetooth sound system? I like streaming music.... just not every time I get into the damn car!
loving the S4 otherwise!
Interesting. Mine does not do this.

Hmmm maybe its not the phone and its the Handsfree in the honda civic commanding it to play?
Hmm I'm actually interested in this as well. My old One X used to auto connect and auto play when I got in the car, but the S4 doesn't. It only auto connects to the phone, not A2DP like I want it to...

Mine does do this though. It's annoying as $? #$. I have to go into settings and and manually connect media audio 99% of the time. It never does start playing automatically though.
Mine initially would do the autoplay but after I reset all the Bluetooth pairings for my car stereo the S4 then only paired phone audio and I also have to go in to manually pair media audio. Looks like I got the best of both worlds! My Galaxy Nexus and Tab 7.7 didn't do this, and neither did my iPhone. Annoying.
I actually had the same problems with my S2. I removed the android music player and used winamp to get around the autoplay annoyance. but on the S4 i actually like the stock player....I didn't want to remove it. It sounds like it seems to be dependant on the bluetooth device that its paired to. I was hoping for a missed setting... grrrr

My phone is rooted, how would I disable this autoplay feature in android? There's got to be a file somewhere I can edit to fix this..
Its very annoying to always have poweramp auto play when I connect to bluetooth. (And Poweramp is set to NOT respond to bluetooth)
Has anyone figured out the root cause of this autoplay silliness?
hey guys, I had this issue as well, even tho on the phone side I "forgot" my car, my car still requested my phone every time I turned it on. but actually, nearly every stereo has some Bluetooth settings. my car didn't have an option to forget my phone, but it did have an option to switch "auto connect" off. look thru your stereos menu, you're likely to find what you're looking for.

[Q] Bluetooth connection to car opens window on Note 3 every time

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!

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.

Bluetooth does not connect automatically

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.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. Does this app have any affect on your battery life?

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.

Bluetooth Connects - Disconnects Repeatedly - Car Bluetooth Audio

I have been using LG G2 for more than 4 months.
I always connect my phone to my car's bluetooth.
However, I have been having problems with Bluetooth for all versions of LG G2
I have used Stock 4.2.2 and 4.4.2
I have tried several different roms. Rayglobe, Flex, CloudyFa etc.
My problem is when I connect my phone to my car's audio.
It connects/disconnects repeatedly with a click sound, which makes you think that speakers will explode.
It stops after a long time but it is really annoying.
My only success what I had used 4.4.2 AOSP and it works without problem. But I am a big fan of Stock.
I have read a lot of threads regarding this issue and I am happy that I am not alone or hallucinating.
In all these thread people say that I have to disable bluetooth power save and everything will be okay but it is not, as people reported.
Looking forward to having a solution with this thread.

dunno what it does, but might work. go to hidden settings via dialiing 3845#*802# (depending on model)
find BT_TEST > enable a2dp mode
I changed setting as you recommended.
I will check when I get back to my car let you know .
