Bluetooth Headset disconnect - Samsung Gear S

Just got a Verizon GS and am noticing that my typical setup, Watch on left hand, BT headset in right ear I get constant disconnects with
my Bluetooth headset.
The connection will drop and the call audio will revert to the speaker on the watch.
I have tried disabling WiFi and GPS with no success.
Anyone else having this issue?

I don't have this issue but I did have a similar problem when I was using a Sony BT headset with my old Galaxy Gear.
I corrected this issue with an excellent app called "Bluetooth Auto Connect"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect
It's useful for prioritising bluetooth devices. It might be helpful, then again the Gear S does have unusual connection bridging. It's worth a go.

Its a BT 4.0 headset, its the new Jawbone ERA, no issues with other devices.

Hi,
I`m using a Plantronics headset, which works fine with my Samsung S4 (and all other phones).
Now, I`ve tried to connect the headset to my Gear. The connection itself works fine and without any problem.
But, and that`s angrily, I can use the headset only when the Gear is not connected via BT to my mobile (S4).
Inside the Tel-App, the headset symbole is not shown (greyed out), but inside the BT Headset configuration profile shown as "paired".
If I disconnect my BT connection between the mobile and the Gear, the headset works at once with the gear.
Many configurations checked, I`ve no more ideas.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance, tregobad

Update:
I`ve checked again how it works.
My Headset (Plantronics 725) is connected with the mobile AND Gear S.
Mobile and Gear are connected via BT.
If I get a call, both devices ringing (Multi Sim). Doesn`t matter if I accept the call at the mobile OR Gear, i can use the Headset.
But , if I accept the call at the Gear and use the Headset, the mobile is used and connected with the Headset.
That means:
mobile and Gear BT connected = Headset connects to mobile
disconnected = Headset connect to the device you be beside, mobile OR Gear

I'm experiencing an issue that may be related. I have my Gear S connected with my Note 4 and when I turn on a BT headset that's only paired to my Note 4, the Gear S disconnects. I then manually go and reconnect my Gear S to my Note 4.
Is there a way to keep the Gear S connected to my Note 4 when I turn on my BT headset? Or will the Gear S always disconnect from my Note 4 when a different audio device connects to the Note 4?

Jabra 320 A2DP problems...

Hey people,
I tried connecting my Jabra320 up to my Touch HD the other day. The headset should support A2DP for stereo bluetooth, which worked with my old Touch Dual, however, whenever I try adding the headset to my HD I can only see the hands free profile.
Anyone had any problems with A2DP or any ideas how to fix this?
I was thinking about getting a Sony Ericsson headset, but don't want to commit to the investment until I know that I can use the A2DP profile...
I'm using Dutty's v2.5 rom and the v1.12 radio.
Same problem with new duttys roms. It shows me both wireless stereo and handsfree but when i try only to connect A2DP it disconnects. Worked fine on older duttys roms.
I have Jabra 620s

You're getting a little further than I - I domn't see the 'Wireless Stereo' option at-all. Well I believe Dutty is releasing a new ROM soon. Hopefully it'll be fixed then. If not I'll mention the problem when it comes out - hopefully Dutty or someone will find a fix.
Thanks though for confirming I'm not the only one with this problem!
Hope you guys has fixed your problem. if not, let me tell you how to fix it.
I had the same issue before. now it works.
1. make sure your headset is power off and delete the connection on your cellphone.
2. connect your charger to the headset for 4 seconds, then disconnect it.
3. repeat step2 4 times.
4. after that, your headset will be reset. then, reconnect to your cell phone and you will see wireless stereo function enabled.
What I have discovered on my A2DP headphones (Philips SHB7100) is that when I power them on it will automatically connect but only with wireless headset (phone calls only) functionality.
What I have to do is go to the touchflo settings tab, select Menu> Bluetooth Devices and disconnect then reconnect the headset. Once I do that it connects for both A2DP and phone calls.
I also have a Jabra "Dogtag" headset and it ALWAYS reconnects with both automatically unlike the Philips set, so I suspect this also has something to do with the headset itself and not just the OS/ROM.

Widget to switch bluetooth devices?

I have a Jabra Clipper audio player to play my MP3's & streaming internet radio to my car stereo via 3.5mm jack. I also have my Moto BT headset that I use.
When I get a call the music is interrupted and I can answer the call with the Jabra Clipper and I can hear the call audio through the car speakers. The problem is my microphone on my phone is too far away on my car dock and people can't hear me.
So after answering the call I would have to go to settings, wireless, bluetooth and disconnect the Jabra and connect my Moto headset before I can take the call.
This is a pain and takes too long, is there a widget to swap paired BT devices? I cannot find anything in the marketplace.
Maybe a Tasker profile? I have Tasker but I haven't gotten any profiles to work yet.
I have a Droid X running Liberty 1.5.
Thanks.
I don't know if this will help, but can you not have both items paired and connected at the same time? My car has bluetooth for my phone for talk only, and I just added a Tunelink device to stream my music by bluetooth in the car. I've noticed when I get in the car that both will be paired, but only the car will be connected. So I have added a bluetooth widget to my homescreen, when I get in the car I will click on the widget that opens up the bluetooth settings and click on the Tunelink to connect it, from then on out both items are connected AND paired and both will work with no problems.
I initially had the HTC settings > Bluetooth shortcut, but then when Widgetsoid added the capability to choose bluetooth settings I changed to that.

Nice! I have a Jabra Clipper too! I say that because I have not seen anyone else with one yet lol.
Ever since I switched to CM7 I have been able to 1-touch enable/disable Bluetooth and Wifi among 10 other optional, additional buttons via the status bar. I hope this bar never goes away in future updates! Anywho you could check that out for managing your bluetooth connection quickly and efficiently.
All I can say in addition to that is clicking on individual bluetooth devices in the menu allows you to disable specifically phone / media audio. You could try disabling one or the other for one of your devices so that they both work independently. I'm not really sure how else to help you because of the unique situation.
Your best bet is to make your setup less complicated, by not using one or the other device, but I saved that one for last because it isn't what you're looking to accomplish.

Prior to the upgrade last week, the widget would only turn bluetooth on or off. With the update last week it added the option to have it open up the bluetooth (or wifi) options. This isn't automatic, you have to choose for it to do this in the options.
I don't know maybe the phone won't automatically connect with two items at once. It's a hassle to connect each time, but after the initial connection everything runs smoothly.
I downloaded Widetoid 2 and loaded it, now I have an BT settings icon on my switcher.
I managed to figure it out without he use of a widget, under my bluetooth settings I selected my Jabra Clipper and unchecked phone audio. Now I can connect my Clipper as media audio and my BT headset at phone audio at the same time. Now when I get a call the audio switches from the Clipper to the BT headset.
Thanks for your help.
An amazing One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
You saved me From buying a new stereo!

Headphone Connect - One Click Audio is a really simple app that let's you connect / disconnect to your desired bluetooth headset.
You find it in the play store if you search for "Headphone connect - one click audio"
I realize this is an old post, but I recently released an app called ShortTooth: create customized single-click shortcuts to connect to any paired Bluetooth device.
I use it to disconnect from my home stereo when I get into the car (parked close enough to still be paired), and reconnect to my home stereo when I get back.
You could use it to create two shortcuts:
* Toggle Jabra
* Toggle Moto
Or you can create two rows:
* Connect Jabra | Discconnect Jabra
* Connect Moto | Discconnect Moto
It has a free 14-day trial.

Multiple, Simultaneous Bluetooth Connections

Does anyone know how many simultaneous bluetooth connections the S5 is capable of?
For example, I was initially worried that getting a Jawbone UP24 would not work alongside my Pebble watch, but it turned out to work fine. On top of that, I use my Jawbone Era headset constantly. So far everything works at the same time.
However, I was considering something called the Lockitron that has an option to unlock the door automatically via a bluetooth 4 connection.
If I got this in addition to my Pebble watch and Jawbone UP24, would this also work?
Thanks in advance to any help!!

[Q] BT headset

Hi,
I have a bt headset connected to the gear.
When using remote (eg wifi / 3g) calls forward and i can answer with the headset.
When connected with BT the call comes through the watch and not the headset.
Anyone have thoughts ideas or solutions other than connect the headset to the phone direct as this would then mean i would have to reconnect to the watch when needed. Seems a flaw in the system
Thanks
Dagaz
Newer headsets should connect to two devices simultaneously.
I have had similar issues. There are several versions of bluetooth out there. Maybe that's s place to start

Volume sync bluetooth headset

SOLVED! see my reply below
Hello all.
I just got my new LG V30. An amazing smartphone.
Only trouble I have is volume sync when using my Sennheiser PXC550 bluetooth.
Volume up and down on the headset does not sync with volume on the phone.
I have tested some other headset and the only one I managed to test out that the sync worked was with Sony WH-1000XM2.
Anyone here tested other headset and it's working?
Problem SOLVED!
LG Nordic raised the question to LG South-Korea and they came back with the following answer and solution:
"Volume sync with bluetooth can only be guaranteed with certain tested devices.
The list is as follows;
LG HBS series, Sony MW600 / WH-1000XM2 / WH-1000X,
Apple BeatsSolo Wireless, Plantronics Backbeat Go,
Jabra MOVE / COACH / PULSE, Bose QuietComfort 30/35,
B&O H5 / H7 / H9 / H9i
This is also probably given if they have the correct AVRCP version.
Regardless; We have a tip that can make it work anyway;
1. Connect smartphone with Bluetooth headset.
2. Settings> Network> Bluetooth> Select the headset settings icon (right)>
Edit the name of the device> Rename the device name as "ABS-DO-ENABLE".
3. Disconnect the headset> Reconnect the headset."
I have testet this on my Sennheiser PXC550 and it works!
Volume now syncs on BT.
Hey thanks a thousand times! I have the same headset (PXC 550). The best piece of hardware I ever owned. I will try that tip because this was the only point I disliked.
So lucky I came across your thread
---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
Worked for me too! Thanks again.
Nice tip! Works for my BT headset also. Any idea how to make it work for more than one BT device - not connected at the same time, but I have a few different headsets.
Thanks for this. Just got it working with my Jabra elite 65t. Was driving me crazy!

This was driving me bonkers too, but I think I've got it figured out. Name each device with the same prefix, but add a bit to the end to specify which each is. Here's how I have it set up:
ABS-DO-ENABLE (headphones)
ABS-DO-ENABLE (car)
ABS-DO-ENABLE (speakers)
Wonky, yeah, but at least it's working now.
Hey there,
i can confirm this workaround exept on behalf of the of the time this is working. When i delete my device from known devices and reconnect it afterwards while renaming it to the above pattern it works exactly one time. After a reconnect it behaves like before. Im assuming there might be some side effect regarding the used connection protocol. Do you know which AVRCP Version is used at your device ?

Hi, @Tymo55.
My headphone device, Sennheiser PXC550, uses AVRCP ver. 1.5 according to the manual.
I recommend you run the native LG app "Smart doctor", "optimize device" and reboot your LG V30-phone.
