Samsung S8 bluetooth connects automatically to media, but not to calls/

[Android Central Question]

Hello, I have a Samsung S8. I have noticed this happening lately.

Whenever I used to turn on my bluetooth headphones, they would connect automatically to my phone for "media" and "Calls". But for the past couple of months, it connects only to media, and even if I press the "Call" function, it wont cnnect. Only way to fix this is by "unpairing" my bluetooth, and re-pairing it again. Every time.

Anyone with the same issue or solution?

Welcome to Android Central! Do you have any other Bluetooth devices competing for the Phone Audio connection?

Welcome to Android Central.

You could try clearing the cache and possibly the data for Bluetooth. Open your phone Settings to access this, Settings>Apps>use the sort icon, light grey above the apps, and touch Your apps>turn on Show system apps>OK>Bluetooth>Storage>Clear cache/Clear data. You may also have another Bluetooth component below that one that says Bluetooth test. Do the same to that one as you did to Bluetooth and test.

Go to your Bluetooth settings and find your headphones then tap on it , do you see toggles for calls , Media ? Turn them on or turn whichever off.
