Bluetooth headset (SBH20) auto connection to S4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a bluetooth headset (Sony SBH20), when I turn it on, it automatically connect itself to my laptop (win 8):
when I turn on the headset and laptop bluetooth is on, the bluetooth headset is automatically connected to my laptop.
This autoconnection is very practical, nothing to do, just enjoy the music.
Why it is not working on the Galaxy S4 when it is working perfectly on the laptop?
Regards, Chris

BT won't pair with device?

I am having trouble getting my HTC Mogul to connect with car stereo by bluetooth for hands free talking. The stereo I have (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069882_291159553,00.html ) allows bluetooth enabled phones to connect to it and use handsfree over the car speakers. I had it successfully working with every other phone i've owned however i can't seem to get my mogul to pair with it. Any suggestions? I've tried enabling the bluetooth on stereo to "discoverable" and had my phone attempt to connect but it won't work. I've also made my phone "discoverable" and tried to have the stereo initiate the connection and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Bluetooth headset and a2dp at the same time?

Has anyone been able to get their Nexus to connect to their bluetooth headset, and also stream music to another device without skipping? I like to stream music while driving but I need the headset too.
It is working for me, at the moment my n1 is connected to my bluetooth headset and streaming music to my laptop via a2dp. no skipping. PC is showing up as connected to media audio and headset is showing up as connected to phone audio.
I paired and connected the bluetooth headset first, then the pc. once i connected the pc, the headset disconnected, but was still paired. I then reconnected the headset and the pc remained connected.
I would make a call to test, but it is a bit late here.

Thanks for the reply. When I do nearly the same process for my car I notice that it streams Pandora without any skips. The skips only occur when I play MP3s and even then it only happens once every 10 seconds or so.
Maybe it has to do with how often the headset and phone "refresh" with each other. I have a Blueant Z9, what headset were you using?
I'm using a Plantronics Explorer 233. Nothing fancy, I bought it a year ago for $30.
I haven't been able to run my factory handsfree (BMW) and a separate A2DP to work perfectly. Music always skips. If I turn Wifi off, it's an improvement, but still skips.
Also, my handsfree is pretty aggressive. Even if I disconnect it, it'll reconnect on its own. Only way to disable it is if I unpair it.

Bluetoth Toggle with user Settings?

Hi,
it's easy to find a bluetooth toggle button out there to put it on the HD2 homescreen - neverthelees it only turns bluetooth on (or off). Normally I use only one bluetooth connection - my stereo headset. Is there anything I can do that the toggle button not only turns on the bluetooth but uses my headset as standard connection, so automatically connects to it with some settings?
Thanks,
DW!
Nobody?
If you are having an issue with the headset only connecting as handsfree when you turn bluetooth on there is an option in the settings to have stereo headsets connect to both handsfree and headset at the same time ...
It would be in the bluetooth settings under that devices main properties ...
I use one and it connects to both when toggling bluetooth on or off ...
But even without that all you have to do normally is hit a "media" button on the headset , something other than talk/play or volume, and it should connect ...
Hope that confusing mess helps ....

Blutooth auto-connecting?

I'm trying to connect bluetooth in my car's native bluetooth module. The connection works and everything is fine but when I try to reconnect....as in turn on my phone's bluetooth to reconnect to my car....a box pops up and ask me if I want to connect to my car's bluetooth...
Is there a way to bypass this? I simply just want to come into my car and the bluetooth automatically connects without asking me if I want to "Connect my device to my car's bluetooth."
