I have managed to pair my phone with my parrot hands free unit in the car. How ever it will not remember the pairing, and each time I step into the car I must manually pair, any ideas?
hmm... from past experiences from SGS1 and SNS
they are bound to automatically re-connect to my car for BT audio streaming, i use it practically everyday
that being said, the experience is the same with past old phones like Treo and Windows phones, although those had some minor annoyances. similar to what you have just described specially the windows phones.
so, it might be possible the SGS2 BT audio profile might not be fully compatible with your car BT receiver.
does it automatically pickup phone calls using the BT headset (handsfree) profile ?
Same here too! Sometimes with my Motorola S7HD or my Sony car stereo x.x
I'd have to go to Settings -> Wireless network -> Bluetooth and manually pair them myself. Ugh.
Any fix for this guys?
I know it sounds silly but after pairing are you accepting the notification to always allow it to pair?

I have this problem with my landrover bluetooth, (I have to pair each time I use the car) However I have never seen a notification to 'always allow it to pair' am I doing something wrong? or is there a setting somewhere that I have missed.

In my case the problem is not actual pairing. I have a Pioneer bluetooth car stereo. It has been paired but for it to see the S2, the phone must be made visible each time. Despite being paired it still needs to be made visible.
Despite extensive searches, I have never found a way to make it permanently visible. There is a silly timer which turns off visibility after 120 seconds.
Previously, with my old Windows 6 and even Windows 5 phone, I used to just go into my car and go - no fiddling with phones - never even took it out of my pocket. Now I need to make it visible each time and this really bugs me.
Don't tell me it is more secure - that's my choice and should not be Android's choice.

have you tried editing the /system/etc/bluetooth/main.conf file
there is a line
#how long to stay discoverable mode before going back to non-discoverable
#The value is in seconds, (0=stay pairable forever)
DiscoverableTimeout =120
Needless to say try it at your own risk, you will probably need a rooted phone and something like root explorer to edit the file.
Hope this helps

I too have the same problem. My Philips SHB1400 does not get auto paired. I have manually pair it when ever I want to make a call. Never had this problem with same BT Headset and Nokia 5800

I tried that but I am afraid it doesn't work. I think other people have also tried it in other threads and it does not work either. The timer stays at 120 secs
has anyone tried playing with the blacklist file in the above directory? I tried renaming it and rebooting but it made no difference for me, but my Landrover is not specificaly blacklisted.
Pairing bluetooth with Caddy SRX.... NOT....
I downloaded the Bluetooth File Transfer app and that worked for awhile ... off and on ...... but hasn't worked for two weeks now. I've been to Cadillac - I've been to ATT store - everything is checked correctly that needs to be. This has been ongoing issue for a year now. Any other new updates about this problem ?
Thanks.
I do not get the 'notification to always allow it to pair' on some devices but do on others.
Anyone know why?
I am trying to pair a Uniden cordless phone and keep getting the pin request every time I connect.
While on my car I do get the always allow pair request and everything is fine.
Hello XDA Dev's,
I have been a fan of your site for a few years and always find your site the most helpful of all of the sites out there for Android. I have come across something that I am a little frustrated with and I hope you guys can help me out. I just recently purchased the AT&T Gear S wearable. My main motive for this purchase was to be able to use my wearable to track my bike rides and skate workouts, store music and receive / make calls without carrying around the big Note 4 that I have as well. I was using Endomondo to track my workouts, use the audio coach to let me know when the intervals start / stop, miles trained, cals burned, HR, ect. IT appears that the Endomondo app for the Gear S will only work properly if it is connected bluetooth to my cell. I was disappointed because that is the reason I want a wearable... is so that I dont HAVE to have my cell on me. Does anyone out there have any issues with this or does anyone know of an app for the Gear S that will track and do what I want it to do? I have looked at Run Keeper, Map My Run, ect but I need an app that I design my own intervals and can cue my thru my headset an audio coach? IF there is already a thread addressing this can someone please link it for me?
Thanks,
Danny

Sorry mate, but there is no way to use android gear without android mobile phone. However, if you do have a pc, you can connect your device with your laptop via bluestack. I am not sure it will work as i havent tried it, but theoretically it should and thats the only thing you can try.
Hello all,
I recently purchased an Amazfit GTR and as I can find many watchfaces online I was wandering if anybody knows if I can make the seconds hand to sweep instead of ticking like an automatic watch (or like an apple watch if you will )
Is there a way to make such thing?
Thank you!
Hello community! I would like to ask some. I use a spinning bike at home. Does the app of amazfit stratos 3 allows you to modify the measurements or to add km, cadence,speed at your workout?

Helllo! I also bought this watch for cycling training mainly but I found it to be a scam! The watch has 80 sports without being able to display data for all of them, it just boasts that it has many sports. The main problem with cycling is that it does not recognize the Cadence And Speed sensors. The above sensors are the main cause of indoor measurement. Cadence is also an important element for cyclists. Another nonsense that this watch has is that it tries to locate GPS in the internal cycling profile, for what reason?
Has anyone connected Bluetooth Cadence and Speed sensors to the watch?
I imagine NO !!!
Stratos 3
Firmware 4.2.8.0
(This is my question at the Post "Stratos 3 Firmware 4.2.8.0" and nobody answer of topic.
Hi!
I searched a whole day, without luck...
I bought a Bip S Light because of the main reason to connect it to Kinomap as a heart sensor.
It was advertised as possible to share the heartrate to other smart devices via BLE...
With notify for amazfit I checked the function "Share HR to other devices", but my other devices (Android tablet) doesn't see the watch as a HR sensor!
I even installed a BLE scanner on the tablet, but no device is found (only my Headset)!
Has anyone managed to use a amazfit to do this?
I'am really confused :-(
Thanks in advance,
Felix
