Hey guys.
I have the issue of the app that is opened thinks bluetooth is not enabled, I have to clock "allow bluetooth to turn on" then close the app go back into the app now it thinks bluetooth is on and re connect to device.
The whole time of course bluetooth is on and enabled.
I saw a while back someone poseted a fix on here and for the life of me i cannot find it despite searching as many terms as I can think of.
Thank you.

Hi folks,
I upgraded my Hermes with Schap's Windows Mobile 6 ROM. Works fine so far. But when I try to use my Bluetooth GPS it acts strange.
I paired the Bluetooth device and set up a COM-port for the applications. The first time it works. The next time, when I switch on Bluetooth and start for example TomTom, the Hermes tells me there is a new Bluetooth device that wants to connect. I checked and found out the GPS is still in the list of known Bluetooth devices and the COM-port is set. But the assistant is still bugging until I add the "new" device. After that of course my "old" device is gone.
How can I avoid this? Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I have the same issue, really annoying so would love to know the answer

On your Hermes:
Have you tried to checked off: "Make this device visible to other devices"?
Under: Start\Settings\Connections\Bluetooth\Mode (2nd tab on the bottom)
Option #1 (Hermes)
~If, "Make this device visible to other devices is not enabled, delete the pairing for your GPS.
~Check off "Make this device visible to other devices"
~Pair your GPS again (ensure that "Make this device visible to other devices" is still enabled)
Option #2 (GPS)
Don't know what kind of settings for bluetooth you may have on your GPS. I found for my car stereo, that I needed to leave it, in the "waiting/open for connection mode.
Now when I turn the car on it automatically connects the phone and stereo off my Hermes.
What I'm basically saying here is there may be a setting to leave your GPS automatically open for bluetooth connections?
I think option #1 may do the trick....
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

If your concerned about Security you can always change the Pairing codes.
and or turn off bluetooth when not needed.
I'm unaware of any cases where one can connect unless there paired, so in most cases access needs to be allowed on both ends, usually needing pairing codes. Even if it is one way, an approval code will still be needed.
What I found is this, if you want automatic connecting with one way pairing codes i.e. (Car Stereo to PDA or GPS to PDA) You'll need to allow "make device visible" checked off. The usual cause is a memory storing issue with the GPS or Car Stereo. I know that on high end Stereo's and GPS's they have on board memory which will save connection settings, where you'd put pairing codes on both ends and it will save the settings, thus negating the need to leave visible.
Don't know if I answered your question?
Hope I was able to shed some light on the subject....
Good Luck!
I'm having a problem where my phone's (XPERIA X1i) A2DP connection doesn't properly reconnect to my car's receiver most of the time. I've found that if I go into the Bluetooth settings, uncheck "Wireless Stereo" on the appropriate device, save, then recheck it, and save again, everything works well. Obviously, this is a lot of trouble, so I'd like to automate it.
I've found where the enable bits are in the registry, but I can't tell how to do the equivalent of the "save" button in the settings. I'm happy to write my own program to do this if someone can point me to the right API call. Thanks!

PS: Although I've found A2DPToggle to be a help elsewhere, it doesn't solve my problem of reconnecting the device.
Dear XDA folks,
a bit of a story about what the problem is exactly, and how I want to fix it:
I'm a happy owner of an HTC desire with froyo on it, which works like a charm.
There's one small problem though, my car stereo seems to be a bit picky when connecting.
My bluetooth is on, I start the car, and the phone tells me it has connected to a headset, the stereo tells me nothing is connected.
Same happens with the A2DP function, phone says it is connected, stereo doesn't detect it.
After a bit of messing around with it, I found a way to work around this, after connecting, disable and enable the bluetooth profiles (called media and handsfree in android) once, and they both work like a charm.
----
What I want to do, is make an app which checks if the device is connected to the stereo (which shouldn't be much of a problem), and then switch both of the audio profiles off for a moment (one at a time) and then back on.
Problem is, how do I switch them from my app? I've been looking at the documentation for hours, but I can't seem to find out.
The bluetoothchat sample is a great start to build a BT program I think, but I'm pretty much stuck here.
Is there someone who can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Nobody? I succeeded with making an app that displays the paired devices (after a bit of borowing from the BTchat sample), so that pointed me in the right direction.
Still, I'm stuck with the problem of switching the profiles/services on and off, and I'm sure one of you can help me
Thanks
Hey I'm no expert but you may want to check out the app called tasker in the market, you could look into the app's codes cause from what I experienced, I see a state there that says 'if bluetooth connected...' Then you can add an event to trigger after that.it's an awesome automater app. Base the codes from there.

Great thanks for the idea, will try that right away.
Will let you know how it turned out.
-edit-
DARN can't find options to enable/disable a2dp and handsfree in tasker, maybe I'm missing it, but so far I don't think it is there.
Thanks for the suggestion though
Help?! Can't believe noone knows how to do this?
Heeeeeeelp! Still stuck with it
I've been using the Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit for the last year with my Nexus 4.
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-BlackBerry-Smartphones/dp/B004CLYJ2I
For the most part it has worked great. However, my new Note 3 will not connect automatically to the device, I always have to turn the screen on and select the bluetooth device to connect to it. My Nexus 4 would simply connect to it automatically if the bluetooth was switched on.
Any ideas?

I had similar issues with my bluetooth headset. When I would press the connect button on my bluetooth it wouldn't automatically connect, and the only solution I found was re-arranging my quick toggles in the notification bar so when I pull it down I can quickly access bluetooth settings and devices.
Yep am having problems with note 3 bluetooth. For a top of range phone, this bluetooth is crap. 2 headsets works when it wants and 6 works wagons only works in some! Am surprised no one else as commented on the bluetooth

I had the same issue that my N3 didn't connect automatically to my BT-devices. I stumbled over a thread where I found some one else having the same issue who recommended the app "Bluetooth auto connect". I downloaded the app and now it just works. If you have the BT-scan dialog enabled, you see how it switches between the different paired devices in the list until it locks on to the one that's in range.
If you don't like that dialog, you can disable it using wanam (I think). Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. Does this app have any affect on your battery life?

Not for me. But I may not be the average user. I'm getting 3 days of battery life out of my N3. I only turn wireless (3g / wifi) on when I need it and do the same with BT. But I found it really inconvenient to have to select my connected BT device. For switching BT on and off, I use tasker. I have a setting that checks for the music app of my choice, and when I start it and have no headphones connected, tasker turns on BT.
Hey there!
I posted this answer within another thread, but thought it would help more people if I set it up here. I will be modifying the original post here to point back to this post so that I'm not spamming.
Anyway, if anyone is having the same issues with bluetooth because of the kernel issue in 7.0, I discovered a workaround until they patch it out. It's about as elegant as a bear in a tutu, but it works. Also, take into account that I used this method on a SM-J700T with a port of this ROM by mr.duck254 and FullOfHell. Their fine work is linked here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/j700t-development/rom-synexos-v1-0-port-duck254-fullofhell-t3756157
First you need to install these two apps (I'm not reputable enough to post outside links yet so I'll do my best to narrow your search):
"Bluetooth Pair" by Waylon Huang
"Bluetooth Auto Connect" by UniqTec Inc.
Fire up Bluetooth Pair and turn on your bluetooth antenna with button in the lower right.
Do a refresh in the settings menu if your device doesn't pop up.
When your device does pop up, tap the "PAIR" button.
In my experience, the "Connect" button within Bluetooth Pair did work for my devices. This is when you switch to Bluetooth Auto Connect.
Open Bluetooth Auto Connect and tap "Devices".
Make sure the device you want to connect has a check mark next to it and use the handle on the right to drag it to the top of the list.
Tap the device to and place a check mark next to the role(s) it performs.
Go back one screen and tap "Connect". If your device is on and paired you should now be connected.
Hope this helps. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks man!!! Confirming that this works.
Only thing I did differently was that I unpaired everything so I could actually pair new devices through settings again but I'm guessing that the issue will come up again. Anyway thanks again man.
