download Bluetooth auto connect app from play store. it scans for all BT devices and connects to the first available device. you can use a quick toggle widget also
thanks... installed it, it is working with my car... since I have 4 other BT devices, the widget would still try to connect to the others BT devices, even it is connected with one of the BT. I hope it won't consume too much of battery in the background
@nike, reading your post it seems that you said that it prompts you to choose a device once you turn Bluetooth on your S8+, that is a normal behavior, if you don't turn off Bluetooth on your S8+ (Bluetooth always ON) then when you turn on a Bluetooth device it will connect automatically without prompting you to choose a device, ex: when you get in your car and start it, your phone will connect automatically. Just remember to not turn Bluetooth off on your phone and you won't need a 3rd party app.
mhh... thanks Cprice for the suggestion. I will give it a try tomorrow. I guess it is just S8+ behavior. I have had many Android phones in the past (mostly Nexus). I didn't have to keep BT on all the time. I guess BT 5.0 doesn't use much power. I guess if I don't need BT on, why do I want to waste the power to keep it on when I don't need it
thanks buddy... I will give it a try... don't really want another app if I don't have to keep it... will let you know the battery consumption in a few days...
have a good night... oops... already in the morning here
after hearing about what you said the auto connect after the first connection.. I decided to "just do it! " ...like my name...
I uninstalled the BT connect app. turned on BT on my S8+, and connect to my BT speaker manually the first time. then, I turned off the speaker.. as you said, my S8+ does auto connect to the speaker automatically when the speaker is on again. now, I "just did it"
good night... sleep tight... don't let the bed bug bite
