Phone drops bluetooth headphones when multiple paired bluetooth options are available

[Zarquan314]

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Star 7 (some cheap old Samsung phone). I often use my phone when connected to my computer using the Windows Phone Link app OR bluetooth headphones (Beats Flex of some kind).

Unfortunately, I when I use my bluetooth headphones, I have to disable my bluetooth on my computer. If I don't, my phone arbitrarily drops my headphones in favor of the computer, which is extremely annoying. But I use Bluetooth for a lot of things on my computer and it is annoying to have to remember to turn it off and on.

Is there a way I can have my phone either connect to both my phone and my headphones and let me choose which one it uses in the call menu?

Or is there another source of my problem and a solution I haven't thought of?

Go to settings and do a search for Bluetooth. Try to find something along the lines of Bluetooth auto connect and turn it off. Unlock developer settings and look there too. Personally I don't like keeping Bluetooth or wifi on while not using it, on any device, as it drains battery faster. I would just keep Bluetooth off on your computer until you want to use it. Easiest solution in my opinion.

I'm curious though, what is the purpose of connecting your phone to your laptop via Bluetooth?
