I am coming from a long history of HTC use and so I apologise if this question has an obvious answer.
Previously, if I wanted to connect to my bluetooth in the car (previously paired with), I would just hit the bluetooth button in quick settings to turn it on and that was it, just like connecting to wifi.
If I do this on my S7E, I then get another screen popping up that tells me my device is visible to others and lists previously paired devices for me to select from, and then I have push the back button to leave that screen?
Is there a simpler way as I used to do on my HTC?
cheers
C.
PS - I am sure this will be the first of a number of questions as I get used to TouchWiz and Marshmallow......Sorry.....

Have you ever *paired* your new phone with your car?
I've only had two cars with BT in them, but in both cases the car and phone had to be paired before they would work together.
Once that was done then it would work as you expect.
Specifics of getting your *car* into pairing mode I can't help with, but once you do that you should be able to select it while scanning from the phone (as you've seen already the phone will list devices it finds) and you can finish walking through the pairing.

Oh yes, it was paired with the bluetooth fine (its actually a visor BT device, not the car itself), and when I turn on the BT it shows up on the list of previously paired devices)
Don't have to make it a trusted device for it to auto-pair?
Why turn Bluetooth off at all?
Just leave it on.

Nope, just had to be paired.
Trusted Device brings in the Smart Lock stuff, which enables the option of having your phone NOT authenticate you (pattern/pin/finger/passwd) when connected.
For example, I have my car bluetooth set as a trusted device so that when I'm driving I don't get any identity challenge to use the phone (like for navigation), the screen will just come on as requested.
Smart lock is blocked by my exchange administrator as I get my work emails on my phone.
I turn the Bluetooth on the phone off because I don't turn the one in the car off and it's just outside the house and will stay connected.

Hi, sorry if this has been discussed somewhere else, but I haven't seen it.
I'm on my second M5k (the first one had serious radio issues), this one has bluetooth problems.
I've paired it with my Parrot car kit (which has always worked fine), but recently the car asks me to pair a device everytime its powered on. Likewise, I've just paired a BT GPS & it's connecting but not really seeing the device. In the BT manager, both devices now have a ? icon on the left rather than a headset etc.
Any ideas whats going on?
Thanks
Check on your outgoing port settings in bluetooth settings, if there is a tick in the secure connection, uncheck it and see if that works.
I had similar issue with bt gps reciever
Nope, not ticked.
On a side note, its been sat next to me for an hour with wifi on, connected to the pc & its just shut down with 52% battery left. When this thing doesnt wanna play, it really is the biggest waste of money i've ever had (course, for that 5 mins that it works properly its the greatest thing i've ever spent my money on).
sorry, thats the extent of my knowledge ... just a newbie
best of luck and keep the faith !
when i have a hard reset my paired devices disconfigured only
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 have a Sony BT2500 bluetooth headunit in my car and I paired my Touch to it without any problems. The only issue I am having is that when I get back into the car it automatically re-connects the phone BT function but will not automatically reconnect the BT Stereo/AD2P function. Is there are way I can set it so that it will auto connect both?

I saw this on another forum, the op stated that if you press the number 6 on the head unit it will cause your bt-2500 to activate the bt audio connection with your touch. I haven't tried it yet, but will when I get home. I've always had to go into BT settings on the touch and hit refresh so I hope this works.

I made the same mistake. For six months I though it was not compatible according to some of the reviews. Then one day, out of boredom, I read the manual. Yes, I supposed to press number 6 when I get in the car. There is the saying "Read the f* manual". Amazingly how many time I found this true.
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.

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.
I mean it's a great feature and is awesome that it works with Bluetooth turned off on the phone, but how do the buds communicate to the phone?
High frequency audio or something?

They aren't connected, or you do have Bluetooth turned on. It's physically impossible for them to be connected with Bluetooth turned off. That's literally how they connect to the phone.
If you have Bluetooth turned off, open the Buds box, then see the prompt on the screen, this is because Bluetooth is turned back on by the Samsung SmartThings service. It can detect the Buds and it turns BLuetooth back on to connect to them.

Oh, so you are saying that, "turning off" Bluetooth doesn't really turn off Bluetooth?
Well, after it connects it is using Bluetooth obviously, the question was the part it communicating with the phone when Bluetooth was off

Well, when Im going for lectures, I use the Galaxy Buds and when the lecture starts I close em and turn off Bluetooth, after the lecture finishes, while Bluetooth is still of, opening up the galaxy buds case still brings the pop-up, even after 2hrs
This is the feature of Bluetooth 5, called the beacon technology. So your device can communicate with bluetooth devices nearby even if the bluetooth is turned off. The bluetooth 5 offers the off state which can be utilized to request the device to turn on the bluetooth by a neighbouring device. So you saw your bluetooth turned on after the popup appeared as it used the beacon technology. The location services needs to be on for this.

Thanks for the great explanation, but if you checked my video, you would see that "Location" was turned off.
It is possible that it uses that technology you stated.
Edit - it probably uses the 'nearby device scan' setting for that instead of location
Edit 2- and yes it does, it no longer pops up when you turn off 'nearby device scan'

yes, depending on the app, it can use get the location either by location services or nearby device scan.
To all of the people saying your bluetooth must be on have you opened your buds pro with Bluetooth off? Obviously not if you open the case with Bluetooth wifi and nfc off it still pops up and asks if u want to connect to them I was also curious how this works and only found know it alls that know nothing
NFC is also bluetooth, and being part of home automation... now you know
Edit: I suspect they'll drop bluetooth soon for NFC

Correct I believe.
I have SmartThings, WIFi and NFC disabled at all times. If bluetooth is on, the Buds+ engage seamlessly once inserted, if bluetooth is off it needs to be turned on and reinitialized.
Nfc in mobile fones is like the camera and mic, you cant turn it off. the end user is shown it disabled, but nowadays, even phones tell lies. Your smoke alarm at home (scotland installing mine soon), power meters... washing machine... try turning the power meter one off!!
Or the damn smoke alarm!
It works like this:
How does your NFC bank card work?
Where is the power in the bank card?

Package Disabler kills it. A adb edit will too.
I keep my N10+ on a short leash.
Do that with your bank card... tinfoil handbags lol... its that bad, (no offence here), you dont see Nfc as bluetooth.
Nfc apps only connect to bluetooth HARDWARE. removing the app or editing only messes with the app, not the hardware.
Edit: Keeping in mind we're almost all on OVERLAID file system... the real nfc is LIVE like your camera and mic and... bank card lol, the overlaid appears disabled.
