I just got a Huawei Watch and have an Xperia Z5 - all is fine throughout the day, but when I plug them in to charge at night at some point the pairing gets lost.
This means I start getting a frequent (every minute-ish) pairing request notification which disappears very quickly and lights up the screen (which is not conducive to sleep!!)
Obviously if I wake up and re-pair then all is fine, but surely i shouldn't be losing pairing every night??

Sorry guys found a previous thread in another forum.

I just bought the tasker app and figured I would let people know how its working for me, and to solicit suggestions for things I can do with it.
background:
Its a very good app that allows you to script the behavior of the phone based on a very large set of events or states.
My initial use:
As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.
So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.
I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.
Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.
Anyone else have this app and have something cool they have setup using it? I have heard of silent mode when the handset is placed flat facedown, which i thought was unique.
I have had it for a few days and am playing around with it. I have 2 tasks so far. First is to go to silent mode when face down. This is especially nice since I charge it overnight by my bed and don't want notifications (emails etc) waking me up so I have been just turning silent mode on at night and off in the morning. Sometime forgetting to turn on in the morning.
The 2nd task is to read the email sender and subject aloud when I am in the car and it is connected to my car stereo via bluetooth. I like the wifi off setting you did. I may do the same.
I also noticed that when listening to streaming through bluetooth with the wifi on but not connected to an ap, I get "skips" every once in awhile. Turning off wifi fixes it so I may set it to turn off wifi when streaming bluetooth audio.
Couple issues I have had. If the phone is in "standby" (pushing the power button) tasker won't go to silent mode. Also, I tried to make the screen go off when face down as well but it doesn't work. Apparently tasker can not turn the screen off but you are supposed to be able to change the timeout to as little as 7 seconds. I set that up but instead of the screen going off it just dims. Not sure of the issue.
I am interested in what others are doing so post the info.
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.
Droid X keyboard:
its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape
swype:
slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.
I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out
im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./
any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
When on a call and using Bluetooth headset the screen dims or shuts off. This is very aggravating, especially when trying to use dialer for input.
Even more aggravating that happens when plugged in to power.
It dawned on me why the screen goes off on BT call. It must be because if phone is in pocket or holder it might react to screen being touched and do unwanted things, like hangup or...
BUT, if (as is the case for most of my day) the phone is in dash mounted holder and PLUGGED INTO CHARGER I want screen to stay on ALWAYS... no matter what. (which leads me to another post later)
Hi all,
In recent weeks my bluetooth is turning off when it isn't being used. I only use it for hands free in the car and up until a few weeks ago it always stayed 'On' however now, once disconnected from the car radio, it turns off again.
If I turn it back on away from the car it will go to 'Off' shortly after turning it 'On'.
It's a touch annoying as it means I have to get in the car, turn the engine/radio on, unlock the phone, set bluetooth to 'On' every time I drive and want the phone on hands free.
When connected to the car radio, the bluetooth stays on without problem, so I am not entirely sure what is going on.
I have tried turning battery saver off, restarting the phone etc. but nothing has changed this behaviour.
Has anyone got any suggestions on what I can try next, I'm a bit stuck!
Thanks
Hey, everyone, this is my first Samsung phone, after 4 years of Sony Xperias. I thought it was time to join the big screen league and decided on this beautiful phone.
I am trying to get used to Samsung's way of doing things. One thing that seems very strange is that when I tap NFC on my Sony bluetooth headphones or the loudspeaker, it turns them on and connects them to the phone (and it turns on the bluetooth obviously) - and this is fine - but when I am done and tap the NFC again, it disconnects but the bluetooth on the phone stays on! So I have to remember to turn it off manually. The Sony phones also turned off the bluetooth when disconnecting by NFC tapping, if it was off before I tapped to connect.
Does this happen to anyone else? If so, is there any app or something I can do to get this out of the way? Tasker might be a little too complicated for me
Thanks!
Having searched the forum I think this is an old topic with no real solution, however...
When I connected my P8 Lite (B612 Marshmallow) to my bluetooth speaker (Anker) it works well until the screen switches off, at which point it doesn't fully disconnect, but inhibits the signal, making audio unlistenable. The very moment I turn the screen on (while the phone is on the lock screen and I haven't yet entered my passcode) it goes back to functioning properly.
Is there a fix for this? Is there a bluetooth "process" that is being stopped when the screen is off? If so, how do I stop that happening? Thanks!
Am I the only one? ?
