Works fine for me

I have my HTC One M7 connected to my car and my SW3 at the same time, so I assume your Z3 would be no different.

Yes Bluetooth allows multiple devices to be connected at the same time.

Up to what i know, Bluetooth devices can connect with 1 device at the time. No more than one in the same moment

I've never seen a Bluetooth host that can only connect to one device, but older clients devices and dumb current devices (like a mouse for instance) Will be liked to one yes...
A watch can only be connect to one, but a phone can have a watch and a mouse and headphones all connected at one.
It really depends on the profile type

I can connect my z2 to my sw3 sbh52 and ds4 all at the same time since both our phones support Bluetooth 4.0 you should be able to do the same

The answer is yes, obviously, and independent from the Bluetooth version: any smartphone can connect to multiple Bluetooth devices.
What can no be shared are profiles: only one of the devices can be the target for some of the profiles. Eg: the headset profile: the phone needs to know which device should redirect sound to. Similarly for media streaming.
Android Wear smartwatches do not support the headset or media streaming profile from the phone, so they will not interfere with other devices.

If connection With Car is with remote sim access, connection with smartwatch same time won't work

How to connect simultaneous Bluetooth devices
I'm curious to know how you're connecting multiple Bluetooth devices to your smart phones, as the (esp) Sony site explicitly states that you can only connect one Bluetooth device at a time to the phone. I'm extremely interested in how to do this, since I have recently purchased the smartwatch 3 and wish to also use my Bluetooth headset and/or Kenwood car stereo to connect simultaneously.

You can connect many bluetooth devices with bluetooth to your smartphone, but you can connect one bluetooth device for each kind of devices. For example you can't connect 2 bluetooth headphone at the same time, but you can connect headphone, smartwatch, odb for car data, etc at the same time!

That's right. My Xperia is connected with headset, smartwatch and heart rate Monitor same time. All working together with my Training App.

Interestingly enough now that there is a need for multiple devices to be connected via bluetooth at once, I thought that this would be a problem. I used to just have my phone connected to either my bluetooth surround at home or my car or something else like a laptop. Never more than one thing at once. Then I got the SW3 and tested it. The very first time I got in my car and the watch was connected, my phone connected to bluetooth but it could not connect all the way. After that, I turned of bluetooth on my phone, turned it on again and it reconnnected to the car and the SW3 perfectly. I love it. I have a 2011 Rav4 Premium with Toyota Blulogic, a Sony XperiaZ, and now the SW3. It is a great triad in my opinion, but I would love it if my phone got the Android L update soon so that the SW3 and the phone could match a bit more....OCD I guess LOL

I think this is not double Bluetooth, but how the Bluetooth le protocol works. You could always connect more than one device at the same time (to most phones). You just could not use the same protocol at the same time. So, a keyboard and headphones wprk together with your phone. The bluetooth le, is a separate beast. So, it should work at the same time as things like your car or head phones. The cool thing is that our watch can connect to headphones (and maybe other devices) without a phone.

Multiple Bluetooth connections at same time?

Does anyone know if I can utilize 2 BT connections at the same time? I want use a Parrot device to connect to my phone and a BT headset as well if I'm making any sense.

I don't think so. I think it is a limitation of BT

My understanding is that only 1 bluetooth radio connection can be made and be IN USE at any time.
So if you are actively connected to 1 device its using the radio.
Some BT headsets can be paired to multiple phones at the same time, but once you are in a call then the other connection is lost. Its more of a stand by connection while both are NOT in use.
If you were to stream music, it would be in use. So only 1 connection can be maintained.
However, when BT devices do different things they can properly hand off activity if the device doesn't have routing bugs. On my Epic I have stereo streaming to my car stereo, plus my headset. Two different profiles, and if I make a call or one comes in, the music is interrupted and it USUALLY goes to my headset. But, like I mentioned, bugs...

[Q]Connecting to multiple Bluetooth devices

I just started going back to the gym and I use Bluetooth headphones with my note 2. I'm debating on buying a Bluetooth heart rate monitor to use with a couple of workout apps to track my calories being burned.
I'm wondering.. will I be able to connect both devices simultaneously?
In the car I connect to my head unit, cobra iradar and obd2 scanner. So I don't think you should Have a problem

how....as far as i know....one connection can be made at a time; as soon as you connect one BT, the other got disconnected.
just like wifi and hotpost; your phone either is on wife mode to get internet connection from other or your phone is on wifi-hotpost mode to provide internet connection to others

You can simultaneously connect and use the devices only if they use different BT Profiles. For example, I routinely connect the Note2 to my car's BT receiver for phone calls (Hands-Free Profile, HFP), MP3 playback to the car's speakers (A2DP), and navigation using an external GPS device (Serial Port Profile, SPP). Works fine.

[Q] Bluetooth issues in a vehicle

Hi everyone,
Got my black Z1c yesterday, love it so far!
However, when I try to use it in my car (Audi A6 2008), I cannot place a call if it was initiated from the car's interface.
The phone connects to BT no probs and shows my car in the devices list as a headset. Incoming calls are reflected on the car's display, and connected to the speaker's/mic of the car. When I place a call from the phone itself - same deal, all works as expected. But when I use the car's controls to dial a number, the car's display shows "connecting", and nothing happens...
Tried to pair/unpair many times, no success. Tried other phones, like iPhone 5, Samsung Ativ S (WP8), Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, HTC One - all work seamlessly. My old Xperia Z was working fine, until I sold it to get the Z1c... I would never expect Z1c to behave like this...
Anyone has similar issues?
Yes mine is the same (ford sync)

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks.
There are two important parameters of Bluetooth devices - class and supported profiles.
"Class" signifies the distance at which a Bluetooth connection is possible. Most mobile devices are Class 2, which means they have a range of up to 10 m. Class 1 devices are rare and have a range of up to 100 feet.
A "profile" is a type of Bluetooth connection. The most common are the Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) profiles that enable the device to connect to a wireless headset or handsfree.
Some other profiles are OBEX (OBject EXchange) which allows transfer of files, contacts and events; A2DP, which adds support for streaming of stereo sound and AVRC, which allows remote control of playback.

try clear caches. All kinds of caches. When I say all kinds, I mean all caches that you can clean. Retry what you want to do. If it does not help, try factory reset and retry your bluetooth connection. if it still does not help, try flash firmware. I guess this is the solution you can count on.

Thanks, will try. The phone was just outta box when I was trying it in my car... The car was the first BT device it has ever been paired wtih...
Phone calls work fine on mine.
BUT while we're on the topic of vehicle BT, has anyone got working song info via bluetooth? I thought it was supposed to support avrcp 1.3, but in my car (2013 Ford SYNC) I still get no info about songs I'm listening to and also the voice commands for playing artists or albums don't work.

I use it with my new Golf and the phone functions works as expected but the song info does not show. But they never do with Android phones. My 5s works of course

In my Toyota Auris 2013 model song info always worked with Walkman app assuming you have tags filled out correctly.
I know there were some issues with tag info in Poweramp I prefer to use but they got that fixed recently. Advanced options to display song info on external BT device is just buried deep in app's settings though.
Everything works fantastic on my BMW F10 (2012) with Navigation Professional, Bluetooth Music with Song Info, Phone with contact pictures (! Didn't even know that was possible until I got the Z10c) and full Message Access Profile with historic E-Mail and SMS access.
The In-Car integration is the main reason why I am torn between iPhone 5s and Xperia Z1c.
The iPhone has the Advantage of "BMW Apps", which allow using Webradio, Facebook, RSS Feeds etc. through the Navigation, as well as iPod Control and Coverart Display.
The Z10 can't do those things, but it can do Bluetooth MAP which is rather important to me also. Webradio can of course be streamed via BT (and controlled on the phone).

noob question regarding connectivity on headunit

Hey everyone,
My apologies if this is a really silly question, but I'm new to these headunits and was just wondering how network connectivity works.
Assuming the headunits get network connectivity from my android phone, does it do so by connecting to my phone using my phones wifi hotspot? Does it use bluetooth to trasmit stuff like album artwork?
More importantly, does it auto connect to my phone everytime I start my car? What if my hotspot on my phone is turned off, do I have to manually turn the hotspot on everytime?
I've used Android Auto on the Pioneer units and it just pairs up automatically so I thought I'd ask here how these PX5 and newer PX6 units work.
So many questions. Thanks fellas!
Bluetooth connects automatically to your unit once you switch on the unit...(if you have the bluetooth enabled on your phone and you had already paired to the headunit)
With respect to the wifi....you have to enable hotspot on your phone for the unit automatically connects....but you can automate it by means of tasker or any other task manager on your phone in which when detected bluetooth connection to the car bluetooth enable hotspot...or as I do...I use a NFC tag to enable my hotspot.

Great info thank you! I'm a heavy tasker user so that's a great option. I also have some NFC tags laying around as well! Thanks again!
I guess that also leads me to my final question, is there any difference between tethering wirelessly or tethering over USB? For example album art or anything? I usually plug in a USB to my phone now so it's not a big deal, just wondering if wired has any benefits.

Samsung Watch Active Bluetooth & connectivity questions

I just purchased the Galaxy Watch Active and have a few questions about Bluetooth & wireless connectivity. I hope someone can share their experience with me.
1. Should the watch always be connected to Bluetooth on my phone? Or, only connected when I want to sync to S-Health, install a new watch face, et. al.?
2. If I desire to connect my phone to another Bluetooth device (Ticpods, speaker), must I disconnect from the watch?
Q: Is this standard practice?
--- Yes, I can connect 2 devices to my Note9 but curious if there are any connectivity implications with both devices connected.
(I am thinking in terms of Fitbit Versa where phone Bluetooth is not connected(from what I could tell) even though FB Versa shows as choice in Bluetooth devices.)
3. I have not set up wireless yet and will do so this evening when home.
Q: What are the different use cases for Wireless vs. Bluetooth on the SWA?
FYI - I am an XDA old-timer but a newbie to this watch. Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

1 Always connected to BT so you get notifications etc. 24/7
2 No need to disconnect when using other devices.
3 A lot ppl don't seem to like WiFi and call it useless. I am not too sure. IDK Can't do much without BT.
