Bluetooth in car question

johnbe

Hi all.

I have connected my Umi to my car with no problem
Since a couple of days, when I'm receiving a phone call in my car, the sound stays in the speaker of my phone (and the phone shows Bluetooth activated)
I have to selected on the phone loud speaker and then switch back to Bluetooth to get sound in the car.
Not so easy to manipulate when driving.
Maybe you know the right setting to get the sound immediately in the car?
According to me its a bug of the phone.
Thanks
Johnbe

Hello,
Had same problem here with my car. I made a hard reset of the UMI and that first worked OK. After joining other BT-components (i.e. FITBIT, speaker, etc.),  the connection was lost again . Then, during the ride with the car, suddenly BT worked again and then it suddenly stops.... My Fitbit sometimes worked together with the (build in) BT car kit activated, sometime not. Clearing the cache of BT sometime helps, mostly not.
Is this perhaps a issue that occurs when some options of the phone are enabled or diabled? Energy saving?
I also noticed once that the Umi was connected to the carkit, but that the loudspeaker of the phone worked, not the speaker of the car.
My brother has also a Umi Plus E and noticed exactly the same issues, although he has a different brand of car and a different brand of watch., so i think the problem is Umi BT related.

Any suggestions? This is the only issue i have with the Umi!

Thankx
