Bluetooth connection/pairing with GS3?

[bludvls33]

GS3 through Sprint. No issues with phone service or bluetooth, have a Plantronics device paired. However, the bluetooth does not automatically connect to the GS3 when powered on. I have bluetooth enabled, and the device shows as paired, but each time I turn the bluetooth on, I have to go into settings ->bluetooth ->paired devices to click on the device and connect. Didnt see a thread on this in search, sorry if this has been covered. Thx for any suggestions.

Ditto - pain in the rear

If you turn on bluetooth on the phone first. Then turn on the headset, it will connect automatically. But once you turn off bluetooth on the phone, and then back on again you'll have to go into bluetooth settings and tap the paired device to connect it again. So yeah it is a pain in the ****. That's the only reason I keep a shortcut for bluetooth settings on my phone desktop. The other quick way to get there (bluetooth settings) is to press and hold the bluetooth on/off toggle.

Confused...my bluetooth is always on (on the phone). I never turn it off.

I turn on the headset, then I have to go into setting to connect. pita...

I have the blueant q2, Samsung HM7000, Samsung HM3300, and the Motorola command one. All work like they should except the HM7000. It does exactly what the OP describes and I have not been able to find a fix for it. But I use the Moto Command One exclusively (till I get the blueant q3) and it works perfect every time.

I personally think it's the Bluetooth headset myself that is bunked. I got it through Amazon at such a good price that it wasn't even worth my time to send it back.

Try a different headset. Might be that your BT headset is faulty.
