My Droid X used to automatically connect to my G when I start the car. I just upgraded my phone to the Samsung Galaxy S3. Now my phone does not automatically connect to my G like my Droid X used to do.

In order to connect to my car, I have to toggle off bluetooth on my phone, then toggle it back on again, then go to bluetooth setting and manually connect. Once I shut off the car, I have to repeat this process again.

This is very annoying!

Does anyone know how to get it automatically reconnect?

 

Mine auto connects. i would say delete the profile on your car and redo it...

 

Try resenting the phone. I also have the galaxy S3 and it automatically syncs my phone and audio.

 

is there anything different between the settings on the bluetooth for the S3 compared to the droid X? only thing i can think of is there might be a power-save mode or something in the S3's settings menu about reconnect to paired device or a setting that shuts off the bluetooth radio depending on battery saver settings. just my 2 cents

 

I checked to make sure my phone is not on power-save mode. And I tested it to make sure that is not the cause. I shut off my G and then restart it immediately. My Droid X would auto reconnect, but my new S3 won't and I have to do it manually.

 

I tried many times. It doesn't work.

Which carrier are you on?

I'm on Verizon. I'm suspecting that Verizon's version of S3 has this problem.

 

Which carrier are you on?

 

I'm on AT&T and just noticed you can mess with the Bluetooth settings from the settings menu

 

Im on sprint. deleted my evo 3d profile and set up the s3 profile and its been all good.

 

I am also on sprint and my S3 auto connects.

 

Verizon must have messed with the bluetooth settings. I can only change device name, change visible time-out, and show received files in bluetooth settings. Plus the bluetooth on and off toggle, that's it.

 

go on your phone's bluetooth settings and delete the G. Then pair the G again with the phone. If this doesnt solve your problem then do a hard reset to factory settings by opening a dial pad and Enter *2767*3855#. If it wont reset that way then do it this way:
1)Turn off your Samsung Galaxy S3 using the power button.
2)Now press and hold Volume Up+ Home + Power button simultaneously.
3)select wipe data/ factory reset option

 

I'm having issues with my S3 pairing with my 2012 G37. I just bought the verizon version but thinking about switching to at&t. Do you do anything special for the at&t S3 or does it pair flawlessly?

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I paired and re-paired several times. Turned of the phone and done a battery pull. Rebooted. Now my phone auto re-connect to my G every time I start the car.

For those of you who are still having problems auto re-connecting, do the above steps and also make sure you check off "Do not ask agian" and click allow button when your phone asks if it can download contacts to your car.

 

My Verizon S3 problem is resolved. Read my post above. Good luck.
