Ok, and so I have a smart lookout man and vesture information technology all the time. But, it seems I tin't have the phone connected to my watch and my car at the same time. I came from a S7 Edge and there was never a trouble and the phone would reliably connected to both, and it didn't matter if the connexion involved my watch and speaker or machine, it connected and everything was corking. Now that I take the Pixel 2 Twoscore, I cannot to both at the same time and the connectedness is non reliable to even ane device. Information technology will disconnect regularly from anything connected.

Well, I figured this odd because the Bluetooth version in the Pixel 2 is more advanced than the S7, merely apparently I'm wrong. I contacted Google regarding the upshot and was told information technology tin just connect to one device at a time. I'm non sure how information technology makes sense to not allow a Android Wearable watch to exist connected at the aforementioned fourth dimension you're connected to some other device, considering that would make having smart lookout pretty much useless since a whole lot of people would similar to exist able to go notifications on their scout while listening to music via connected Bluetooth speaker!?

Ok, then afterwards receiving that respond I and so addressed the fact that my phone won't reliably hold a single connection to my picket regardless of whatsoever other devices I'd ike to connect likewise. Hither comes the typical trouble Shooting...(reboot, delete paired devices, wipe phone and showtime fresh), zilch inverse. Customer service finally said I need a new device, and this is after spending nearly an hour talking to them. And so I'thou thinking "perfect!" The client service representative told me how sorry they are and they want to brand the process as piece of cake as possible by shipping a make new device to me, and when I get the new one, I tin activate it so transport the defective device dorsum to Google using a prepaid shipping label. She said I'll go an email with a link to terminate the process and will exist practiced to go soon, and fifty-fifty promised the new device would non take these bug.

Well...I got the email and clicked the link, merely this brings me to an order that would says if be charged for the telephone. I'1000 a little dislocated so I bulletin the amanuensis I spoke to and she said they will only put a hold on my funds for the $950, which would be removed once they receive the is device. Ok, I get that they are making certain they don't get caught up giving abroad a device if this cost, simply it'south a lacking device,. And.... I'm not a rich person and that coin is needed for the family unit and bills. I financed the phone for a 0% APR, which is basically free money, simply in advance and don't have an extra $one,000 laying effectually or else I would have merely purchased the phone upward front.

Long postal service, only I want everyone get a full picture and and so get opinions. Am I wrong to retrieve I shouldn't have to permit a company that provided me with a faulty device put a hold on so much of my money, (especially when it'southward only been about 2 weeks since I received the device) merely to become a new, properly working device? I've would beloved some feedback and deplorable for the long mail service.

I just think information technology's completely ridiculous and really ruined all the excitement I had nigh the phone and completely turned me off about the whole of the "Made By Google" idea... And I've literally bought a new Android phone every year since the very 1st Android phone, the G1. Maybe I'm going off the deep end with this and overreacting, but whatsoever time I've had an consequence with an item that has a cost like this i does, they've done everything to make it right without causing me to adjust my upkeep, to simply get a replacement.

Anyway, please requite me your thoughts on this!?

Ok, and so I accept a smart watch and article of clothing it all the time. Simply, it seems I tin can't have the phone connected to my sentinel and my car at the same time.

Long postal service, but I desire anybody get a full picture and and then get opinions.

I've would love some feedback and sorry for the long post.

I just think information technology'due south completely ridiculous and really ruined all the excitement I had about the phone and completely turned me off about the whole of the "Fabricated Past Google" idea... And I've literally bought a new Android phone every twelvemonth since the very 1st Android phone, the G1. Perhaps I'thousand going off the deep stop with this and overreacting, but any fourth dimension I've had an outcome with an item that has a cost similar this ane does, they've done everything to brand information technology right without causing me to conform my budget, to but go a replacement.

Anyway, delight give me your thoughts on this!?

I rather have the advance replacement option instead of where I have to transport the telephone beginning. I'm in that state of affairs correct now and I'chiliad not sure where my telephone is. It didn't get scanned and it'southward been nearly a week.

I have LG watch sport and my watch stays continued to my telephone while continued to my motorcar BUT at that place are caveats. If I press the BT button in my auto it volition connect to my telephone but only proceeds media control. If I become into settings and manually connect my car it volition have both media and phone functionality. It's an annoyance merely I've gotten used to it.

Wow! And then your phone can connect to "multiple" devices at the same time. That's interesting. I fastened a screenshot of the conversation with Google where I was told that wasn't even possible. I actually don't get why they are straight up lying to me. I suppose information technology'due south so they aren't admitting blame, but I sure would have felt a whole lot ameliorate if they but came make clean almost information technology.

I guess technically the watch is not using the media profile that the machine BT is using but I play music and have calls from my car BT just fine while yet receiving notifications to the watch.

Well, mine tin can't even do that. I discover it crazy that my S7 could connect to both devices, on an older version of Bluetooth, and so efficiently and this new Bluetooth 5 can't. I was so pumped when I got this phone... But that excitement is completely gone. I'm so disappointed I don't even know what to say! Lol

I suppose for a lot of people it might not even be that big of deal, only the whole point of a smart lookout is defeated with this issue.

Gear S3 and Moto 2d edition. Same issue in both, then I know it'south not Samsung software.

Pixel 2

I own a pixel 2 and am able to pair my Xbox one controller, and an sound source primarily my headphones or speaker, simultaneously without whatever problem. Am able to even use both at in one case front twoscore-50 ft before I start getting any audio stuttering.

My pixel two XL stays paired with my Sony smartwatch 3 constantly. And I can as well be continued to my car or work truck & my Jaybirds at the same time. And so I can be connected to three devices at once. I can choose in Bluetooth settings which device to send media & calls to. And get my notifications on my lookout man at the same fourth dimension. Isn't this as information technology should exist. I understood that this phone could connect to upward to 5 Bluetooth devices at once.

I switched from a S8+ to the Pixel 2 XL a while agone and noticed there are some bluetooth bug. I tin connect to multiple devices, just the connection is not always reliable, or just won't reconnect automatically. I'm using a Gear S3 smartwatch and a Sony WH-1000XM2 bluetooth headset. Both devices have issues with reconnecting automatically.

I think it has to do with priorities, because if I have my smartwatch connected and enable my headset, the headset does connect sometimes and sometimes non. So, if it doesn't connect automatically and I practise it by myself, my headset e'er states "no phone calls" and I don't have the battery bar of the headset. If I disable phone calls on my headset and reenable it again, it does connect automatically a few times and the battery symbol pops up. It seems my smartwatch and my headset are fighting, which one should handle calls.

I have the LG Sentry Sport myself, and it won't connect to my phone at the same time every bit my Sony bluetooth headphones. I haven't used the smart sentry with the pixel 2 xl because of this very issue.
Why take a phone with not headphone jack, and a dodgy headphone connector that doesn't always work, and so make connecting to two bluetooth devices, so difficult?

• #13

Not sure if it helps ease your mind, but it wont be an bodily accuse simply a agree potency. Not sure if the device replacement volition solve your issue though. if possible, become to a store and try to pair on a demo unit (remember to unpair afterward!)

I have an android wear sentinel which is connected all the fourth dimension, and connect to other bluetooth devices with no problem. Lots of bluetooth devices connect without maxim they are connected - my watch shows every bit paired but not connected when I'chiliad playing through something else.

I know simply two brands which allow to connect multiple calling devices. Apple and Samsung. All others sucks. Apple tree and Samsung will allow you to choose headphone, car, smart picket to reply or make call without excavation in settings merely merely on call screen. All others won't allow you lot to choose more than i calling device connected to bt.

I know only 2 brands which let to connect multiple calling devices. Apple and Samsung. All others sucks. Apple and Samsung will let you lot to cull headphone, car, smart watch to answer or brand call without digging in settings but just on phone call screen. All others won't permit you to cull more one calling device continued to bt.

Google'P' is supposed to allow multi bt connection's... hopefully!

Well. Samsung can do information technology on nougat. Each brand developers should just enable information technology that is what nosotros need.

I don't take issues connecting to multiple devices BUT my major event is when I initiate a phone call from the phone I rarely ever can hear at that place either person. I end up having to turn off Bluetooth. I'll hear everything upwards until the person picks upwardly the telephone.

I have an LG watch sport. If I showtime the call from the watch I'chiliad fine. I rarely brand approachable calls which is the ONLY reason why I'one thousand about to tolerate this merely when I do, I just want to toss the phone abroad.

I'm truly amazed at the shoddiness of the Pixel 2 XL's bluetooth performance. My concluding several phones were LGs and I never had whatsoever bug connected to devices or switching between multiple connected devices. With this sucker, I take to manually plow off my Beyerdynamic Byrons when I get near my motorcar. Otherwise I have to go into the BT settings and select my automobile equally the primary. In that location's no style to prioritize devices either...WTF are y'all doin' Google. My first and final google branded production. Sure quick updates and a lean OS are squeamish but not at the expense of functionality that's been office of smartphones for yr. AND, I got a $300 discount from Verizon that's not really a disbelieve. I take to finish the ii years instead of paying the device off early. I'm a miserable camper with my mobile feel as a whole UGH!!!!
