Driving mode comes on automatically when my Galaxy S7 is paired with my car's Jabra Freeway Bluetooth speaker.
I have turned this off in the Message+ settings but it still comes on automatically. How do I stop this behavior permanently?
Clear the cache and data of the Messages+ app under Settings > Applications.
Thank you for your reply!

Been looking around for a resolution to my issue and still can't seem to find any.
Here's the deal, I have a Motorola H710 BT mono headset. I just recently upgraded my rom to the latest "Official" 3.56. and prior to the upgrade I was using bad sector's IDtransfer app with the audiogateway app to be able to listen to the incoming ringtones through the headset and I would use the audiogateway app to be able to listen to music through the headset as needed, then shut if off when I didn't.
The problem arose after the update and when trying to install these same two apps. I would get into a rolling reboot after the soft reset and had to hard reset to fix it.
I'm currently using Destination Gotlands BT app and although it seems to let me hear my ringtones and music through I guess an "always on" audio gateway, it comes at the expense of not having voice speed dial as by pressing down on the earpiece buttin is what turns on the app and opens the gateway, where as before it was what turned on voice speed dial.
Another issue is that when I put the phone in "sleep" mode by pushing the power button, the gateway seems to close and the music no longer is heard through the BT headset. It also does this when i'm not even using the BT headset but the phone's speakers. Is this normal? It seems to cut in and out sometimes. I'm pretty sure that it use to play music with the screen turned off prior to the update. Is there a registry tweak or something that will allow this?
So in brief, what i'm looking for is an app/reg tweak that will allow me to
1. Hear my incoming call ringtones through my BT headset automatically.
2. Still use voice speed dial.
3. Listen to music through my BT headset when I want to and be able to shut it off.
4. Not close the audio gateway with my bt headset when I turn off the screen on my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And again, this is for WM6.1.
Thanks!
bump. Anyone?
Opposite Problem
I just reflashed my phone the other day.
As I was going and reconfiguring everything I noticed that my bluetooth connection was active even when I put my phone to sleep.
I remember changing some settings last time I configured my phone to turn off bluetooth and not allow data connections when the phone was asleep to conserve battery.
I thought I used an application like "AdvancedConfig" or "KaiserTweak" to change the WM6 settings but I am not seeing those settings in those applications this second time around.
I'm running Dutty's Dual Touch for the Kaiser. I'm sure there are settings to set on the WM6 OS registry that can turn on or off the bluetooth sleep functions.
Do any of you know an application that can change the bluetooth / data connections hack or the registry changes that need to be made to accomplish this?
I think I may have found it.
Go to Settings -> Phone -> "Data" Tab. See if you're "Disable data Connections" setting is checked and try unchecking it.
This may affect bluethooth. I have my macbook connected to my phone showing signal strength and batter. When I unchecked that box and put my phone to sleep the connection was lost.
Let me know if that fixed it.

Don't have that "data" option/tab in my phone settings. Only "Services" and "More". And under services there is no data option either.
Have a TMobile 900T and I can't get the Driving Mode to stop. I turn it off, uncheck the box, even do a force stop and it still comes on when I start to drive. I'd rather CHOOSE it than have it make the call itself. Any ideas?
Go to setting/locations/my places and remove/edit your car/bluetooth connection. For safety Samsung is "forcing" people to have hands free while driving. As soon as you pair you car radio with bluetooth in location settings, then as soon as the phone (bluetooth on) detects your vehicle's bluetooth, it automatically turns car mode on. The alternative is to switch off bluetooth

Thanks for the answer! Which means I can't play my music via bluetooth and the app doesn't play well with Pandora, near as I can see. Great. I appreciate the concern but I don't like being 'forced' to do anything, just as a matter of principal.
Any way to disable this? Any one have a better idea?
A custom rom is at this stage the only answer....and hopefully the rom developer has changed that in the rom
Hi,
Just got G4+ unlocked for US. When pair with Bluetooth headset, the "phone" option would only work once. If I turn BT off and then back on, I can only use "media" option to pair. "Phone" option would not stay checked. Voice calls go to phone speaker. This can be fixed by soft reset or putting the phone in airplane mode and then back on. Again, only works once until BT is turned off. After the first time, all voice calls go thru phone speaker again. I have BT sets in the car and at home, but at home usually use the phone speaker, so I turn BT off once get home. Never had this issue with multiple other phones. Phone still connects automatically to the BT when I get into the car, but cannot route voice calls thru the BT.
Tried to unpair/delete device, empty cache... No luck. Only works once until BT is turned off.
Very frustrating. Phone is on stock 6.0.1 on TMo, not rooted.
Any ideas. Saw a few other posts with same issues out there but no solutions.
Thanks much.
I have paired my S8 and Gear Fit2 device and notifications work fine away from home. However, when I go home and the bluetooth connects to my Panasonic cordless bluetooth phone handsets or my iHome bluetooth radio/alarm clock, I stop getting notifications to my phone and Gear Fit2! And I am constantly missing texts, which is getting very frustrating! I did not have this issue with my old LG phone - it worked fine with no adjustments to settings. And I should not have to change my bluetooth settings every time I walk into my house. I even tried the dual audio bluetooth setting and still, no notifications to the phone or Gear Fit2. Why do my notifications not default to the phone? And is there anyway to fix this?
Hi XDA
I'm using a K88H SmartWatch and a LG G3.
So I already installed the Mediatek App for notifications and a app called Sound about.
My problem is the following. Once I connected my phone the wanted behaviour is that when a call is incoming I want to see it on the SmartWatch but and can answer it there but the sound is coming from the phone. This already works so far. But once the call ended due to the second app my Bluetooth watch is disconnected as phone and only works as a media output device. So I have to reconnect the phone mode manually by pressing the phone button on the watch and reconnect it. But I would like to get it done automatically.
I set SoundAbout that for the phone call audio the phone app decides which sound device should be uses. And in the Bluetooth settings I put the phone call behaviour that the Bluetooth mono auto usage is deactivated. So once a call is made the phone switches from Bluetooth to normal phone as sound output.
So my question is how do I get my phone to use the Bluetooth device as phone again once the call has ended.
Or easier that the phone uses the earpiece for sound and doesnt disconnect the Bluetooth device.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I also tried Bluetooth auto connect app. It automatically disables Bluetooth when calling but only turns on Bluetooth automatically again once I open the app again. Maybe there is a setting that I haven't found that switches Bluetooth back on once the call ended.
