So I have this really neat new car radio called uconnect, yay, unfortunately it alerts me every time I get a text message. I am able, while paired, to uncheck access to messaging but every time I re-pair the device it is checked again giving the radio access to my messages and alerting me driving me nuts. And it may have even turned itself back on while paired this am (I got an alert but can't recall if I unchecked the box when I got back in the car that time)
So I guess I am asking if there is any way to make the Bluetooth settings for individual devices permanent? An app? Some other setting? Rom? Tool box? Specifically, I want to turn off Bluetooth text notifications on only one device.
I looked all over google and forum for answers but didn't find too much - lots of unhappy uconnect (my new radio) owners for text alerting but nothing on getting my settings to stick.
Thanks in advance everyone

Hi All,
(I've posted this on another forum - Whirlpool - but no answer yet - this forum is probably the more apprpriate one)
Its probably really easy but I just can't figure this out.
I would like my Windows Mobile Phone (its a Sony X1 but I don't think that really matters) to notify me when my bluetooth handsfree device makes a connection (and disconnects).
The only visual notification I get is a little headset icon but you need the phone keypad open to see it.
I was hoping it could play a sound on bluetooth device connection and disconnection.
I looked in Sounds & Notifications but there isn't an option. I tried the "Connection Established" event but this does not seem to apply to bluetooth.
Any help appreciated?

Does this mean it is not possible?
You could try some Bluetooth software. Such as Persian Blue. It MIGHT do what you want. Just a suggestion. No idea if there really IS a software that includes such a feature.
You could also try a polling mortscript that will check for the value of HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Handsfree. If this is 1 and was previously 0, then give a message (and the other way around).
There are some very old threads about this - but this is now, pretty certainly, a general stock android 4.3/4 problem with "older" car hands-free systems. My kit is a Galaxy Note with OmniROM right up to date. My car is an Opel/Vauxhall Zaphira with a Navi 900 onboard computer. However there are threads on many android forums complaining of the same symptoms for "pure" stock 4.3/4 devices (e.g. the Nexus range, including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus) and a variety of cars, and all describing the same workaround (and a few lamenting that Google haven't been very responsive in addressing the problem). The symptoms and workaround are:
The car recognizes and "partially" pairs with the phone
However, the contacts list and call lists are empty and the phone cannot be controlled from the car, neither for incoming calls nor for outgoing calls (dialing from the car interface always gives a failed message, while trying to receive or hangup from the interface just plain fails).
Calls using the phone work, and show up on the car interface, always as "Unknown" (not surprisingly - it doesn't have the contacts list)
HOWEVER if, after this "partial" pairing up, I make a 30-45 second call using just the phone itself, then, after the call has terminated, contacts and call lists are properly available through the car interface and the phone can be fully controlled from that interface (and, of course, the FIRST time this happens, I get the notification on the phone telling me the car wants this information, which, of course, I confirm)
A workaround like that can be scripted with something like "Tasker" and using, say, my voice mail number (with my provider here in France, plain fake number calls don't stay online long enough for the above to work).
But does ANYONE have any idea where to start looking for the root cause and possible solutions, or have any theories on those points?
EDIT:
Just to be clear - the workaround "make a call from the phone" trick has to be done every time the phone and car reconnect, not just the first time.
Had this happen in my ford the other day and it's sync system.
The fix for me was a not so visible notification upon establishing the Bluetooth pairing in the notification tray asking if I wanted to allow for my phonebook to be downloaded. Clicked yes and everything set up as normal.

I got that notification AFTER I had done the "make a call from the phone" trick, not before.
I should also point out that the "make a call from the phone" trick has to be done every time I want to reconnect to the phone to the car (while the notification only appeared the first time I did the trick - because subsequently the phone and the car "trust" each other).
Aside from maybe unpairing and trying to set it up again which I am certain something you've probably already tried; have you checked the cars firmware?
Could also try resetting your Vauxhall's system as well in case there is a gremlin in there causing a hang up with the sync.
Again with Fords sync I have had to do it a few times over the years when the systems been misbehaving with the Bluetooth and it fixed it.

Indeed I did the resets. And yes, possibly, an upgrade of firmware MIGHT fix it, but these problems don't occur with Android 4.1.n (or, I, believe 4.2.n).
I've logged a bug with the OminROM developers, but would like some pointers so I myself can start looking at solutions and fixes.
Hmm... Unfortunately I don't know who to assign that JIRA bug to.
Problem is - none of us own vehicle headunits that we can reproduce/test this problem on. I used to have a Sony MEX-BT2500 (technically I still do...) but since I sold my old convertible it just sits and collects dust.
I would agree that this will be a difficult one to find. It reminds me of working with 802.11b/g with it's dozens of "pre-draft" variants that just didn't interoperate properly.
If you wanted to dig into this yourself, the first place I'd look is https://github.com/omnirom/android_external_bluetooth_bluedroid and its upstream and parallel variants. That is the code that generally handles the upper-level Bluetooth management functions.
Edit -- Also worth looking at https://source.android.com/devices/bluetooth.html if you want an overview of how Android implements Bluetooth.
The comments on commits there might also be worth reading through. For example
https://github.com/omnirom/android_...mmit/73ce8ab2ddd30cab6499d0062c46b3a16f9130a9
Fact is however, that the use of SDP features value for peer_features
is new since Android 4.2 and breaks existing good behavior on a BMW
2005/E46 car kit (navi professional). This kit never asks for AT+CHLD
and never via AT commands suggests it supports 3WAY (although it seems
to have the flag set via SDP).
Not the same issue, but there might be clues of that nature in the commit messages.
Hello, havent noticed this before on previous note devices, but any time I receive a text while my phone is connected to the Bluetooth radio in my car, it will auto respond with "im currently driving" . Is this a handsfree option on the phone itself? I can turn off HF through bluetooth settings which disables it all together, but prefer it on without the need to an auto text. Ive looked all over the phone looking for an "auto send" option of sorts but no luck found. Did find the auto answer option which I have disabled, but didnt take care of the sms issue. The radio in question is a kenwood, so its no factory radio unit. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is a function of the radio. Go into it's SMS menu and turn off auto response. If you need more help Google Kenwood and the message you are getting.
Thank you, wasnt sure if it was the radio as its never been an issue before.
I keep running into an issue since upgrading to stock rooted Marshmallow on my Moto X Pure.
Every time I connect to my bluetooth media center in the car, it requests access to "messages". Whether I say "yes" or "no", it will ask me the next time I connect.
It is more of a nuisance than anything else, but I would like it to stop, so sometimes I can get in my car without mounting it and have it just work, since right now I need to see the screen, because that message will vibrate the phone about every 60 seconds until I respond.
Has anyone else even seen this issue? I tried wiping app data for various related items, as well as re-pairing the bluetooth, since some apps I restored had problems with the new permissions setup, but none of this worked so far.
I get this too when initially pairing with my vehicle. It only ask me twice though and I say not both times. For mine vehicle, it allows it to read the messages out loud through the speakers. Try saying yes, then go into bluetooth settings. Under that device uncheck messages and see if it sticks.
I tried doing a mix of "yes" and "no" on the phone and neither seem to actually do anything. As well, when I look at the setting on the phone for my car as the "device" connected, there isn't even an option for checking messages, it just has two check boxes; one for "Phone audio" and another for "Media audio".
In the car is has similar limitations, as far as only device connection options for "Phone", "Media", and "Internet".
Hey guys,
I got my K88H last week, and I've been trying to get it to work with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (intl) but I'm rather baffled by the way it is detected.
Bluetooth-wise, it is detected twice : once with the bluetooth icon (settings only allow to unpair or rename), and once with the keyboard icon (can set as input device, contact sharing, and phone/media audio).
If I want to access my SMS (which incidentally does not work, as I get a "Currently not support" message), it asks me to connect using BT, and activates the second entry (keyboard icon), even if the first was already connected. The first one looks like it is enough for notifications, though, and it is the one recognized by the Mediatek app (displayed in the "My Device" section).
Is there any kind of real documentation regarding the Mediatek SmartDevice app somewhere?
Does anyone have any clue as to how this stuff is set up?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Have you tried the Fundo Wear app? I could see my SMS, but the rest of the app was very subpar (always losing connection, no automatic reconnect, ...)
The plot thickens : after switching to Galapad Smartwear (virtually identical to Mediatek), SMS worked. Switching back to Mediatek, and it still works, but ... I have to allow the BT connection for phone audio. If I disable phone audio and media audio, the BT connection drops as soon as I try to read my SMS.
