Help Bluetooth help

[sophie999]

Hi,

I have several bluetooth questions.

1. On my old TP2, once paired with BT in my car, as long as I would leave phone bluetooth on, it would auto connect every time I started my car. Nothing had to be done unless I reset the phone or turn BT off.

With ET4G, I have to manually go to BT settings and clique on my car BT to have it paired every single time I get into my car. Is that the way it works for everyone or is there a problem? It finds the car BT when I start the car, but does not auto pair.

2. I know officially Skype and Gtalk do not support BT audio out. Is there a way around? I use those apps to video chat while on the road, and on highway, speakerphone is too weak. Besides, it is located on the back of the phone, right against the windshield holder. Any ideas???

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Sophie

Old thread, but I have the same question.

With my HTC Hero, I toggled the bluetooth connection on and off to connect to my car stereo. It was a quick work around from going to the settings, then wireless settings, bluetooth settings, and then saying to connect with the individual paired device. It seems the only way to get the Samsung GS2/E4GT to reconnect to a device is to go the long way around and manually reconnect to a paired device. Really annoying when you're on the road and just stop for gas or grab a coffee. I know it's only 30 seconds to do it, but I typically forget and start driving before I realize I didn't connect my phone. I don't like to look at my phone while I am driving, thus the need/want to go through the car stereo. Does anyone know of a widget that allows you to put a shortcut to paired devices on the home screen or something? If toggling bluetooth on/off worked, I wouldn't care so much for an individual device widget.

Thanks.

This doesn't really solve the problem, but you could create a AnyCut shortcut to the bluetooth setting on your home screen that takes you directly to the pairing screen.
Would save you the time.
