Setting the auto connect

Note that these functions are not initially provided. Smartphones, tablets and laptops do not have built-in tools that allow you to automatically connect to Bluetooth. So you will have to search for the desired program, install it on the smartphone (or tablet), configure it, and only then the connection will happen automatically.

In addition, before the program can perform its direct functions, you will have to pair the device with the desired devices manually. Later in this article we will discuss how to pair the devices, which application to install, where to find it and how to configure it.

Pairing between Bluetooth devices

You have to know a few rules and perform a clear sequence of actions. To make pairing between devices, you must enable the Bluetooth on both devices and activate the detection function.

Detection on the computer is activated as follows: in the notification area there is the Bluetooth icon. Right-click it. In the menu, it is necessary to select "View Options".

View Options

In the tab "Options" there is a line "Allow devices to find this computer". Put a tick here and save the settings.

On Android, you will need to open the Bluetooth settings, enable the adapter (move the slider to the "On") and put a checkmark in the “Visible to all Bluetooth devices”.

As a rule, the tick is removed automatically after 2-3 minutes. To avoid this, you must press the "Menu" (on the Samsung it is the touch button to the left of the mechanical "Home" key). Select the "Connection timeout" and choose the time after which the detection will be switched off.
