Another issue, when I turn off the bluetooth to save on batt my jawbone will not reconnect automatically. says it is still paired. I have to go back into wireless settings, bluetooth settings and actually tap on the jawbone to connect again. Real pain! tried tapping the jawbone to connect but no go.

Turn off your jawbone first then turn off bluetooth. I use that process and have only had a problem once or twice and it was probably because I forgot to do that.

I have the same issues...

When I turn back on my Bluetooth, it won't automatically connect to my car's Bluetooth. It shows as it's paired but occasionally, it loses its label for the device ('General Motors') and gives it a generic label. I have to manually go into it and ask it to recognize the device even though it worked flawless when it was initially connected. Can't for the life of me figure out what the setting is that's causing it to do that.

Although it sucks reading about someone else experiencing it too (people on Android forums are posting about this issue too http://samsungmomentforum.com/samsung-moment/14311-bluetooth-problems.html, it's a bit comforting knowing I didn't have a lemon of a phone and it's something in the OS. Hopefully, this will be addressed with the update of the OS. However, I'm going to make sure that I make both Sprint and Samsung aware of the issue.

i know it would be a pain but how about disconnecting from what ever device before turning off bluetooth within the phones menu?

I am having a similar problem.

I have a Samsung WEP350 earpiece which has been working fine for about three weeks.  When I want to use it I tap the button and my Moment sees it and goes from B to >B< and all was well.

A few days ago I decided it would be nice to have one of those speakerphone things on the visor of my car to talk while driving so I bought a Jabra SP200 at Best Buy (its an old car).  As soon as I hooked it up it worked fine... for about a day.  After that, both my earpiece and the speakerphone will not re-connect at button-tap unless I completely reboot my phone; after about a day they again stop re-connecting.

I suspect I could somehow be killing an app with advanced task killer that is prohibiting my Bluetooth devices to reconnect when I tap their button, but for the life of me I have no idea which app this could be.  At this point the only ones I'm disable after a reboot are Instant Messaging (which I don't use) and Moxier Mail (also unused).  I don't see how these should effect bluetooth.

I've called Jabra support who instructed me to reboot the phone, which works, but I don't see why I should have to completely restart my phone every time I want to use a handsfree device.

Does anyone else using more than one Bluetooth device?
And are you having the same problem with both?

Hi Everyone! I've been reading posts on this site for about two weeks now (since I got my Moment).

I've had the same problem with the Bluetooth not reconnecting reliably. From reading posts, I learned that the problem was only after power-cycling or going in and out of Airplane mode. I tested my theory and found that if I set my phone to "discoverable" for the 120 seconds, my car would redetect the bluetooth; even long after the 120 seconds was over. My car would keep reconnecting to bluetooth every time until I power-cycled or went in/out of Airplane mode.

I set out to find some more info on the bluetooth problem and found this information on Google's Android site, http://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-features.


For some reason the wording, "Support for auto-pairing with '0000' devices" in the Android 1.5 feature info caught my attention. I had been setting a more complex code for pairing between my car and phone. So I re-paired using the code 0000 and I haven't had a bluetooth pairing problem since!


I've power-cycled and gone in/out of Airplane mode several times since and my car has connected to my Moment every time. I know that not every bluetooth device can use a custom code, but I hope this might help someone.

Oh, I wish you were right here....my Plantronics 520 uses an 0000 code, and I still have to turn on "make discoverable" for it to pair up right.

Right now I'm hoping the forthcoming 2.1 upgrade will fix this (admittedly minor) annoyance.
