Bluetooth reconnection

I have a T420 with bluetooth and it pairs to my phone without any trouble. All the features work as expected so no complaints there.
My only problem is that if I move my phone out of range, the BT link disconnects and does not reconnect automatically when I bring the phone back into proximity. My previous computer (a Toshiba) would automatically reconnect my BT devices once paired.
Naturally I can foce a reconect manually by opening up the device icon and pressing the "Connect" button but this is getting tedious. Is there a setting I can use that will do this automatically whenever I am back in range? I have the "Allow devices to find this computer" "Allow BT devices to connect" and "Alert me when a new BT wants to connect" boxes all checked on.

Hi palswim,

MacPro (OSX 10.7) disconnects bluetooth when asleep, have to restart computer to get bluetooth reconnected

Three times in the last week, when I have put my MacPro (2009, running OSX 10.7.5) to sleep, when I wake it, my Bluetooth Apple Trackpad and my Bluetooth Logitech keyboard are disconnected, and I have a little zig-zag slash through the Bluetooth icon in the upper right menu bar. Up until this week, I have never had this happen before (almost a year running both Trackpad and Keyboard on Bluetooth). Can't figure out why it is doing this. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Tim

Okay, I found out how to do a SMC reset, it's what we used to call, "Unplug it and let it sit for a bit. Then plug it back in." That is what I did the first time this happened.
It has happened twice more in the last week since I did that, so although that got the Bluetooth Keyboard and Trackpad reconnected that first time, it hasn't solved the problem of why they both keep disconnecting and the bluetooth icon gets the jagged line through it, when the computer goes to sleep.
Best,

Poor Bluetooth reconnection capabilities

When I start the Ovi Suite, it connects just fine to my phone (Nokia 7510) via Bluetooth. However, if I leave the room to take a call or move the phone out of range for any other reason, I cannot reconnect my phone until I close and restart the program. It looks as if the program is trying to reconnect, but it never does. If I try to sync something, the program tells me to connect my phone with USB or Bluetooth, but I can't even find a manual reconnect command to issue to the program.

6 plus bluetooth reconnection problem

My 6 plus was able to pairing with Ooma-Telo (IP phone) no problem. But, if I leave home and come back, it will not automatically reconnected. Anybody know what is the problem?

That's because you can't connect to other apple devices unless your tethering. iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot - Apple Support

Disable automatic Bluetooth reconnect?

Hello all,
After upgrading to Mavericks, I've noticed a slightly annoying behavior that was not present in Mountain Lion: my computers automatically connect to nearby paired Bluetooth devices, namely my Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter. Because I use this speaker adapter with many devices (desktop, laptop, phone, tablet), I tend to keep it disconnected until I want to use it, since any number of my devices may be powered on when I'm using it. As such, it's annoying to have to disconnect the speaker adapter every time I use my laptop or desktop. Moreover, when they connect to the speaker adapter, they automatically change my default audio output, which is also undesired behavior.
I've looked around in Bluetooth preferences, but cannot find a setting that would disable this behavior.
The only workaround I've found is to unpair the device whenever I'm done using it, which is far from ideal.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks!

How about turning Bluetooth off on your Mac?
I suppose that would be possible on the laptop, but I wouldn't be able to do it on the desktop, since I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad.

IPhone 4S Bluetooth reconnect issue

Hi All,
I recently bought an iPhone 4S and am having problems with Bluetooth.
I have two devices that I used on my iPhone 3GS (TomTom Car Kit and Philips ActionFit Bluetooth Stereo Sports Headset,) with which they worked perfectly. Now that I am using my iPhone 4S, I am having a problem the second time I attempt to use them.
The first time time I connect either of the devices, they work perfectly with the iPhone 4S. However, the second time I attempt to use them they will not connect automatically. If I go into the iPhone 4S Bluetooth settings and attempt to connect them manually (by clicking on the device) the iPhone 4S says that it cannot find the device. To connect the device, I first have to forget the device then go through the pairing process all over again.
Has anyone had the same issue? Any thought on what might be the problem or how to resolve it?
This is the second iPhone 4S I have had. I returned the first one due to a multitude of problems including this same Bluetooth issue, so I am assuming the problem is not unique to my device.
Thanks,
Noilly

I have been having the same exact problem since I bought my phone a year ago. I have tried 3 different devices with same result. Very frustrating!! I have not found anything that helps. Any information would be much appreciated.

How do I prevent bluetooth from reconnecting the keyboard?

A strange question I admit, but here's the deal:
I need to disable my keyboard overnight (no, don't ask why ), and the power button doesn't seem to work. It does turn the keyboard off, but after a bit, pressing any key will turn it back on again.
So I next thought of disconnecting bluetooth for the keyboard using the menu command. Just like the power switch, bluetooth reconnects itself after a few seconds. I can't turn off bluetooth altogether of course, as then I'd lose all control of my Mac.
As things are now, I have to shut down my iMac completely overnight, and I hate that. Isn't there a way to get bluetooth disconnected for the keyboard (and remain connected to the mouse), until I use the menu command again in the morning?
If not, is there another way to disable the keyboard? Why did Apple design the power switch to work only temporarily?
Thanks for your help!

So simple and yet so non-obvious, that I should have to hold a button for some time!
Thanks so much!

OSX 10.10.3 connection bluetooth lost keyboard/mouse

Hi everyone!
After upgrading to OS X 10.10.3 my magic mouse and keyboard starts to lost the bluetooth connection.
Apparently, it looks like the connection is turn off when I'm not using the mouse or the keyboard. When moving the mouse or pressing any key the bluetooth reconnect automatically. But, the time to connect is high.
I already did a reset of the PRAM but the bluetooth keep disconnecting.
Is someone else with this same problem?
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Note 2 error: "Bluetooth share has stopped" [SOLUTION FOUND!]

Hi everyone, The current Spotify version causes my Note 2 to give the error "unfortunately bluetooth share has stopped" every time a new song is played, which disconnects my wireless headphones.
The update before that made Spotify give a warning that it can't see the SD card, then opening the app just gave a blank screen. Anyone know a safe place to get an older Spotify APK? I guess about three months old? (Or a fix to make the current version work) Samsung Note 2, Android 4.3. Not rooted. Thanks!Nitsan. [UPDATE: SEE MY COMMENT BELOW FOR THE FIX]

Love the service, albeit a few issues lately.
1) The new logo is UGLY. Whoever decided to take away the nice, shaded darker green logo and color scheme we love and replace it with a boring, solid, baby poop-colored logo and color scheme should rethink this. It clashes with the rest of the black and white color theme, and is unpleasant to look at. From what I've seen, people are very much in agreement.
2) On my Galaxy S3 SPHL710, Bluetooth crashes & Android says "Bluetooth share has stopped" every time the song changes (both manually skipping, or automatically). Closing the dialog, letting Bluetooth reconnect, and skipping songs causes it to happen again. And again. And again...
3) Spotify used to allow you to swipe through the "coming up" songs in a playlist, to pick the next one you want, without actually playing the song. Now, swiping actually plays the song instead of letting you just see it. This was/is a very important feature to me.
I think the general consensus is that people are tired of unnecessary changes to the app. Whatever management decisions were made to cause the quality of code to go down (why are we getting so many updates to an app over 20MB in size, several times a week?), to cause the logo color to be changed, etc... these management changes need to be undone if Spotify really wants to stay on top. Apple music is going to draw in many people, and Spotify needs to step up their game or the service is going to crumble. Don't take away the features your customers want. Give them a stable app. Listen to them!
Anyways, a simple downgrade to 3.2.0.1197 via apkmirror.com resolved the crashes, got rid of the ugly logo, and brought back features that are very important to me. Side note: Remember to disable automatic updates, or the new version will automatically install.

IPhone 6 iTunes randomly turning on?

This happened with my iPhone 5 from time to time but also happens with the iPhone 6. I have a problem with how the Bluetooth audio works, especially with my car. If I am in my car ('14 Mazda 3) and listening to music on iTunes or any streaming audio, it automatically stops when I turn off the car. I am happy with that, its really convenient. When I get back into the car, it starts right back up again! Great. The problem is, sometimes randomly in the middle of the day all the sudden the audio will start playing again when I am in my office, etc. Or, say I am listening to Bloomberg Radio in their application, I decide to close out of the app entirely. When I get back in my vehicle later, it just randomly kicks on iTunes and plays the first song at the top of my iTunes playlist.
I would like to make it so my music doesn't automatically start playing all the time. I would rather have to select what I want to listen to each time I get in the car than have it just auto play. Especially if the application I was listening to is closed I don't want it just jumping to iTunes when Bluetooth reconnects. I also don't appreciate the random playing in the middle of the day.
Any ideas of what might be causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.

You need to hold down the power button and the home button until you see the Apple - be patient as this could take some time, about 15 to 30 seconds. If it still doesn't happen, connect it to your charger and leave it alone for at least 15 minutes before trying this procedure again.

I'm trying to connect a BlueTooth headset to my Mac Mini. I can discover it, but soon after discovery it disconnects. Can't figure out how to reconnect. My only option seems to be re-discovery

I can discover the headset, but soon after discovery it disconnects. Haven't been able to figure out how to try to re-connect. And the help section titled "Use BlueTooth has absolutely no information on how to use it. All I can do is re-discover it. Every time I rediscover it, it disconnects shortly afterward. This headset works well with both my iPhone and iPad and has for quite some time. But it won't stay connected to my Mac.

Tried with another headset that works fine with iPhone and iPad. An LG HBS700. Same problem. It connects for maybe 10 seconds and then disconnects. So it must be a problem on the Mac. But this Mini is out of warrentee so taking it into an Apple store to get it repaired isn't a good solution. Maybe as a last resort.
Is there a way to select connect on the Mac? Everything else I've connected a BlueTooth device to has both a command for pairing and a command for connecting or reconnecting. I can't figure out how to select connect on the Mac.

Iphone 5s no longer automatically reconnects with my car bluetooth

It used to be that when i got into my Subaru the phone would automatically reconnect with my bluetooth. No longer the case. What gives?

Hi mzjody,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that Bluetooth issues with your vehicle can be very frustrating. In this situation I would recommend the troubleshooting steps in the attached article for troubleshooting.

Bluetooth devices can't reconnect to iPhone 4 after some time or when A2DP playback has stopped (since iOS 5)

Hi,
so I've had these Bluetooth issues since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. I've searched and searched and found nothing, so finally I decided to post my story here.
First of all I'd like to point out: I've tried everything! ..but more on this below.
I have a Bluetooth capable car stereo, the Sony BT2600, in my car. It works like a charm and I've been using it for listening to music via A2DP (Bluetooth Stereo Audio) since I updated my HTC Prophet to Windows Mobile 6 back in 2008. Since 2009 I've been using it with an iPhone 3G, then a 3GS, and finally with my iPhone 4, which I've owned since october 2010.
Calling worked, listening to music worked, and since iOS 3, I think, AVRCP has been working fine, too.
Now to the things that worked until before the iOS 5 update:
When I got into my car, turned on the ignition, the car stereo automatically tries to connect to the last connected device, so unless BT was disabled on the iPhone, it connected without problems and I could start music playback by pressing the Play/Pause button on the unit, without having to pull the iPhone out of my pocket.
When I got out of my car, turned the ignition, and thus, the car stereo, off, the iPhone would of course disconnect.
Here's where it becomes interesting: When I would go for another drive in my car, the head unit would reconnect to the iPhone, just as in the first point of this list.
Same when starting the car's engine, which cuts the power to the head unit for one second. It would automatically reconnect to the phone and I could press the Play/Pause button twice to resume playback.
Furthermore, when Repeat was not enabled on the iPhone's iPod application and the current album / playlist / podcast would end, the Bluetooth connection would remain active, which was good, because I would still be able to receive calls using the hands-free functionality of the Sony head unit, and I could restart playback by pressing the Play/Pause button on the latter.
My Apple aluminum Wireless Keyboard would also connect flawlessly whenever BT was enabled on the iPhone.
Also the Bluetooth tethering feature would work fine - I could just connect to it via my MacBook's Bluetooth menu, without having to do anything with the iPhone.
Since I updated to iOS 5,
my car stereo doesn't connect to the iPhone unless it's been less than a minute that I'd enabled Bluetooth on the iPhone.
same with the keyboard.
When music playback stops (at the end of an album/playlist/podcast, with Repeat disabled), the whole Bluetooth connection is instantly lost, and can't be regained until I disable and re-enable Bluetooth on the iPhone. Which means that I can't take calls in my car after listening to an album or podcast or playlist when I forget to enable Repeat.
Whenever I have to re-start my car's engine, the connection is, in more than half of the cases, lost until disabling and re-enabling BT on the iPhone.
Same with tethering.
What I've tried so far:
deleted all BT devices from the iPhone's list, re-paired - nothing
rebooted, many, many times - nothing
restored to iOS 5.0.1 - nothing
hit "Reset Network Preferences" - nothing, the BT devices even stay in the list
hit "Delete All Settings" on the iPhone - nothing, BT device list still the same
restored to 5.0.1 again - nothing
restored to iOS 5.1 - nothing
restored to iOS 5.1 from DFU mode, setting up the iPhone "as new iPhone". Big step, PITA, but still - nothing. At least this has cleared the BT device list. But the issues remain. (So does the battery drain issue, by the way, but that's another story)
So. I've oficially run out of ideas. Any inspiration? Many thanks in advance.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

Bluetooth connection between car & iphone stopped; won't reconnect

The bluetooth connection between my car (BMW) and my iphone just stopped one day. Had it back to the dealer to reset connections, and it wouldn't reconnect - altho' the service guy's iphone connected just fine. Any idea how to rectify this? service guy said the problem is with the phone software, not the car's.

One possible solution is that you have multiple devices connecting at the same time.
I have both my Blackberry phone and my iPad paired. If my phone connection is active, I can't pair my iPad.
This isn't usually an issue for me because I usually only listen to my iPad on my way to work when my phone isn't liable to ring anyway.

Bluetooth disconnected on my iPhone but it will connect on my husbands. I have been using this bluetooth for a year and now it won't reconnect

My bluetooth disconnected from my iphone 3. I have been using it for months. I checked the bluetooth and it connected on my husand's iphone4 but won't reconnect on my phone.

Try doing this:
Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Connections
Phone will reboot, you will have to enter your WiFi Passwords again - BUT should resolve the problem.
