[Q] Bluetooth automatic connect - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having a problem with my car's handsfree and automatic reconnection to my Nexus 4.
My car is paired (and when it is paired I select "Don't ask again" about access to the Address book). However when I return to the car, bluetooth on the phone does not automatically reconnect to the bluetooth handsfree in the car like it did with my previous two phones (SGS2 and SGS3).
I can go into bluetooth settings, and click on the handsfree device and it connects right away and works fine, but I really don't want to do that every time I get in my car.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

bump-- anyone?

Bluetooth problem!

Hi, I was able to pair my x1 to my pioneer headunit in my car and get the a2dp to work, but say when I leave the car and it d/c as it should, it does not automatically reconnect when i start the car again like it should, I have to manually go into the settings and set wireless stereo again. Anybody know a solution to this? I am used to my old phone just automatically connecting everytime I start the car. Phone is visible also.
Hi, can I ask how you get your pioneer unit to work with X1? I've tried pairing my Pioneer unit to my X1 and it doesn't connect. Btw, I want to use my unit for handsfree calling. Thanks.

Bluetooth - connect Stereo Audio + Hands-free together(?)

I have the following problem when connecting the HD2 with bluetooth to my car stereo:
The car stereo is capable of BT-phone (Hands-free) as well as BT-audio (Stereo Audio) connection. The connections are made automatically (connections are set and authorized) indicated with two different symbols indicating each connection.
The following occurs:
A. When connecting the HD2 for the FIRST time to this stereo, both BT-phone and BT-audio do connect automatically. This can be monitored by the two symbols on the car stereo, and also in the bluetooth connection monitor on HD2.. both Stereo Audio and Hands-free are connected, indicated by the green arrows.
B. When connecting the HD2 again (so anytime but first time), ONLY BT-phone does connect automatically!
The BT-audio connection I can connect when I need to, but this can be done only manually in the bluetooth settings on the HD2 by ticking the Stereo Audio entry.
In case B it makes no change if I check or uncheck the "Connect seperately to Bluetooth hands-free and stereo audio services" checkbox in the connection properties on the HD2. Makes no difference.
Also, a normal stereo bluetooth headset connects both BT-phone and BT-audio at all times,
So for the car I would like to also have Stereo Audio connect automatically too (like Hands-free). For the HD2 I have tried several ROMs and several soft/hard resets to make sure it is a problem which always occurs..
Why does the car stereo only connect both services the first time the connection is made, and afterwards only the phone handsfree service?

using fiscon mobile.
at the same time i have quality issues (no bass or low sampling rate). but i guess this is a fiscon problem? it was the same with my previous i-phone.
Audio quality is fine here. Is the connection issue a Windows Mobile bug?

on a fiscon? are you using a fiscon as well?
I don't know if this is helpful, however I have an IO Play system in my car and it connects automatically everytime for both handsfree and audio streaming.
Works fine for me with my Lidl (!) Silvercrest car stereo. But for me the HD2 has to be playing audio/music for the Bluetooth streaming to work.
FYI - my car stereo is an Eclipse 3200
Have the same issue with A2DP Bluetooth headphones/handsfree.
While the device recognised it as Bluetooth stereo and handsfree and on a first connection both connections are active in device profile, on any other connections only handsfree connects authomatically. And I need to mannually connect stereo in Bluetooth manager :/
Same here :S
Every time i connect my Nokia BT Headphones " Hands free" connects automatically and "Stereo audio" not
I also have exactly the same problem. only BT-Phone connects, not BT-Audio.
I have a Sony headunit. Seen as I guess we all have different headunits in our cars, it must be an issue with the HD2 not the stereo.

I have a Sony car stereo.
Same here except in my case I have a cheapy Tevion (Aldi) headunit. This is a real pain in the neck if you stop and turn off the engine of the car because then I have to reconnect BT Audio again
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this also happens with A2DP stereo headsets with combined audio+HF.. Don't know why though..
Had this problem with my HTC Diamond, and now with my HD2.. Search for "A2DP Toggle"..
It defintiely happens with some A2DP headsets - I have a Sony headset and it happens on that. You have to manually connect A2DP profile each time.
We need an A2DP toggle for the HD2 Widcomm stack ...

I have a Sony headset which connects both BT Audio and BT Phone together, and a Sony Car stereo which connects only BT Phone.
I have the exact same issue with my JVC car head unit, should be able to connect to use as hands-free and stream music, but neither will retain a connection. I can't connect and pair the devices with the '000' (or whatever I choose) BT pairing code. My previous mobile worked perfectly and auto-connected as it should every time.
I submitted it as a support request on HTC (UK) site, here is my response:
Thank you for your enquiry.
The Bluetooth accessory you have mentioned may not be fully compatible with the HTC handset so may have limited features to be used with the device. For example you maybe able to pair it but other faults may occur. Please keep an eye on our website for any future updates such as Bluetooth patches and ROM upgrades. We cannot confirm if and when these may or may not become available.
As a test, you maybe able to delete all Bluetooth partnerships/devices from your handset and start the pairing process again.
Is it working now?
As an alternative solution please see compatible and recommended Bluetooth accessories in the Buy section of our website below:
(Link to 'HD2 Bluetooth Accessories' page of their website)
Please let us know how you get on and we will assist you further if and when required as a matter of urgency.
Best regards,
Mat

Not the response I wanted, and when I have followed up on this reply I got the same copy/pasted text response! Upon following up on that reply I think they gave up on me as I haven't got a reply this time!
Basically, they want me to go out and spend another couple of hundred £ on more equipment to achieve my hands-free (without an earpiece) requirement, even though I already have the equipment but can't make it connect!!

HTC is getting better and better at standard responses. However there are also helpful and knowledgeable people on the other side of the communication line.
Approved bluetooth says nothing, as if they will try to test every bluetooth device in the world, even sold prior to the birth of the HD2... right.
However the problem is perhaps more WinMo related and not only HD2. But I have only the HD2 to test with..
AND WHILE WRITING... I see that also sony stereo headset is connected as BT Phone... guess we need a small tool to connect bluetooth easily.
I think its a combination of the software in the Bluetooth device and the host. My Sony headset would also require manual A2DP connection with my previous phone - an Eten. As others have posted here other Sony headsets will pair with the HD2 automatically for A2DP.

I can also confirm this "bug". Can't get my A2DP device (BCK-08) to connect (itself) as BT Stereo. Everytime reconnects automatically in HF mode. That really sucks.

Does the NaviPanel attempt to reconnect to a bluetooth handsfree set?

Hello all,
I know that the NaviPanel can be configured to automatically connect to a bluetooth handsfree kit. I'm guessing this happens as soon as the panel is launched. However, what happens if the connection to the handsfree kit is lost while the NaviPanel is running? Does it attempt to reconnect or does it do nothing? Also, if the handsfree device also supports the audio streaming profile, I know that in the bluetooth settings you can set it up so that if you to connect to one profile, the other one is automatically connected. When the NaviPanel connects to a handsfree kit, does this setting also take effect?
Thanks

Blutooth auto-connecting?

I'm trying to connect bluetooth in my car's native bluetooth module. The connection works and everything is fine but when I try to reconnect....as in turn on my phone's bluetooth to reconnect to my car....a box pops up and ask me if I want to connect to my car's bluetooth...
Is there a way to bypass this? I simply just want to come into my car and the bluetooth automatically connects without asking me if I want to "Connect my device to my car's bluetooth."

BT not auto connecting to audio devices

My Turbo 2 doesn't auto connect to the two BT audio devices I have (car stereo and motorola buds). It auto-connects to my Pebble fine, but I have to manually connect to the buds and the stereo each time I use them.
I can't seem to find a setting for making them autoconnect, but I could be missing something. Any tricks to get it to auto connect like my old Moto X would?
That happened to me with this phone and my car stereo. What I did to fix it (by accident) was wait until my car stereo was attempting to connect to the bluetooth and then turn the bluetooth on my phone off and then right back on. It connected right away and auto connects whenever I use my car stereo. Give it a shot.
I do know if u don't set as a trusted device it won't auto connect on mine.

I didn't expect that to work, but it did.
:good:
Noticed with Sync (Ford) it sometimes pauses and I have to turn BT off then on.
UPDATE: Turn off all the moto assist stuff, no more problems.
