Bluetooth behavior?

[Cryosx]

On my Galaxy S7 Edge, when I had it connected to my Bluetooth earphones playing music, i'll start my car and my S7 Edge would seamlessly connect to the car without me needing to do anything. With the U11 it doesn't do this, it continues to play through my earphones and is a hassle to switch to the car. Is there an app or setting that can be changed so that I can make the U11 behave like the S7 Edge?

I also noticed the edge was super aggressive with holding the Bluetooth connection as when i tried to connect to my earphones while in the car, it would try to switch back to the car.

Sounds like with the U 11, it is doing its job. Holding on to the current connection. How would it know to stop play in the headphones and switch to car if you don't make. As with Edge that sounds more like a pain the butt, switching to different devices without your permission. I would stop connection with earphones and reconnect to car. Ultimately turning off earphones before entering car.

I kind of prefer it that way though. I only have the two devices, and when i'm in the car I want the car to take over. I just get into the car and go, it's seamless.

Until you enter the car with someone else, and the car starts to broadcast your conversation through its speakers...holding to the connection is definitely better behavior.

When a call comes in, I can answer it on my Bluetooth earphones. So that isn't a problem.

Reading into it looks like being able to connect to at least two devices at the same time should be normal. The U11 isn't doing that.

Do keep this in mind....phones can connect to two different devices... technically. When I connect my phone to the car, it has to connect the phone AND the media to the car. I know this because I was playing music from my Bluetooth speakers at home that don't support phone calls, and my wife pulled into the driveway, and called me. My phone was able to connect to the car, while still connected to the speaker (and the FitBit Alta on my hand).

Point is...phones can connect to different devices from different profiles simultaneously. Forgive my terminology, because I am not an expert in this department.

I have to manually disable media on my headset for both to connect though. It doesn't do this automatically like it should. I want to know if this is a bug that will be fixed later or was intentional.

Also it seems 7.1.1 has Bluetooth issues for cars
