No notifications on phone when paired to other devices - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

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?

Bluetooth Issue

Seems that when paired with my car system (Nissan Sentra - 2007) that if I make a call, it functions, but the audio is only on the phone, not the bluetooth system.
However, when a call is received, it functions fine.
EVERY phone I have works with this car with no problems.
This will not be good if it can't pair with my car. It's the law here now.
When you are making the call is the screen blue or green...if it is green just press the bluetooth button and the bluetooth will turn on...when recieving calls it will automatically turn on when making them it doesnt well not for me at least
I haven't tried the car yet, but my external speaker (hangs in the visor) works well. I know the bluetooth in android 2.1 was pretty rough, so it's possible that the bluetooth in 2.2 still has a few issues.

My stupid "Cliq" worked fine.
The screen is green, and pushing the bluetooth icon does nothing... even tried going to speaker (sound comes out speaker), then switch back to bluetooth (which does show blue on the icon itself) and the sound is then switchhed back to just through the phone...
I'm not happy with this and these:
1) The speaker phone blows nuts
2) The camera blows nuts (as well as the sound)
3) The floppy-ass hinge is a poor design.
Other than that, man this is a freakin' fantastic phone.
Go to
Settings > Wireless & Network > Bluetooth Settings
Under Bluetooth devices does your device (car) show up as
Connected to phone audio??

Yes, it does. Also, incoming calls work fine, just outgoing is the problem.
Hmm thats weird...I guess now we just wait for a root and see what happens

It's going back to t-mo... I'm not getting fooled again - I was a Cliq owner.

[Q] Bluetooth Pairing issues

My issue today is that my bluetooth will not pair properly and remember its configurations. My initial pairing on my phone with my car's flexsmart X3 works perfect, however when I turn off my bluetooth on the phone or turn off my car and turn it back on the phone will still see the flexsmart and it will say it is paired but I get no sound. Upon further investigating I find that in the options setting that neither the call nor music tick box is checked. If I try to tick them it will think for a few seconds and then gray out and do nothing again.
I never had a problem with my note 2 or my temp replacement evo 3d remembering these settings. All I would do with those phones was pair it once and then any time I hopped in the car I would just turn onm,y phone's bluetooth and go. Now with my note 4 I have to unpair and repair the devices each and every time which is a huge pain. Once I have initially paired the bluetooth though it will stay connected without any interruptions. Also pairing for me is really fast and only takes a minute or so. My problem is that again instead of my phone remembering the current device settings that it is paired with, it will forget to associate it with calls and data after I turn the bluetooth off and then later back on even though the phone will still remember it is paired with the car bluetooth.
I have read a little bit that this is due to samsung note 4 using a newer bluetooth standard than its predecessors. Is there anyway to circumvent this issue by maybe rolling back the bluetooth drivers or something? I even thought about creating a tasker profile to help with this but still I would have to physically press the search button on the flexsmart eachtime.
First world problems I know but it gets a tad annoying having to unpair and repair my phone each and everytime I hop in my car to go somewhere if I want to listen to my music. Any and all suggestions would be great.
Also right now I am on a sprint network rooted stock 5.0.1 if that helps any

Bluetooth and Huawei Smart Watch

Hi all,
I got a Huawei Smart Watch a few weeks ago.
For some reason when it's connected to the Nexus 6P with Bluetooth Audio switched on in the Watch, it won't connect to the Car's Bluetooth when the car is switched on.
Is anyone having this same issue? is there anyway of fixing it apart from turning off the Bluetooth Audio function on the watch?
Surely the phone could priorities the Car's Bluetooth. I don't seem to see this issue with either other watches or phones.
Im not sure if the device has a way to set priority of BT items but IIRC, you can only connect one type of BT device at a time. I have a Samsung gear Live watch which runs android wear. it stays connected all of the time and I can still connect to my truck BT radio. But you cannot connect headphones and a speaker to BT at the same time. just dont work that way.

Bluetooth OP5 problem with Audi and Samsung Gear S3

Hi All,
My OP5 is amazing and i am very happy with it, there is only one flaw right now.
I have my Gear S3 smartwach always connected to my OP5 and that seems to work all the time.
Im on 4.5.5 and sometimes the bluetooth turns randomly OFF, especially when i jump into my car, then it connects to my infotainment system and after a call or a skip of a song my bluetooth on OP5 turned off.
This happens randomly, sometimes its working...
Its not a big deal so i just need to turn it on again and click on connect to my audi, then it works.
I dont know if its because of my double connection with my watch or a little bug...
Did you experience anything like this aswell?
thank you guys.
Hi have a similar problem with a skoda Octavia.
I had the same thing happen with my S7 edge before the op5. So I don't think it's necessarily an issue with oxygen os. I use Tasker to setup a profile so whenever it disconnects it'll automatically reconnect.

thank you for the tip, i still need some help with it, so i have 2 devices in bluetooth setting, gear S3 and Audi, Gear S3 is always connected, when audio turns on, it is not connecting automatically, only when gear s3 is turned off it connects automatically.
Now i need to setup a task where BT connects to the Audi as soon it sees the audi in settings..how guys?
Thank you!

// Please press thanks if I helped
I have BT connection problems too in my car.
If i set up the BT connection just for calls it works ok. But if i setup the connection for calls and media (music streaming) the connection to my car fails most of the times. Sometimes it makes my radio reboots! If i reconnect manually from the car menus it connects, but its annoying to do this almost all the time i enter in my car.
This is the only phone that has this problem in my car (Skoda Octavia)

App alert device vs. bluetooth

Hello,
I have a problem with my S10 plus samsung...
when my bluetooth is on and connected to the device, ALL applications alert come through bluetooth and not the phone (except call ring)... I do not usually keep the bluetooth in my ear all the time...
I would like to have my application alerts to come on my device without having to disconnect my bluetooth OR disconnect the "media" option of my bluetooth...
how can I do that? ?
thank you
