Smart Connect

Hi,

I use smart connect to change volume setting when connecting various headphones/speakers to my phone.

For example for my BT speaker I want the BT volume to be 100%, but for my BT headphones the volume is 

changed to 10%.

This used to work fine.

But lately the smart connect app seems to miss the connect (start event) most of the time.

The disconnect (event end) alsways seems to work.

Also for wired headphones this always seems to work.

Any ideas?

You can reset your Smart Connect app, but you may have to set all the events fromthe beginning. If you are willing to do that just go through these steps:

- Go to Settings -> Apps -> Smart Connect -> Force stop, Unistall updates, Clear data.
- Go to your Play Store and update Smart Connect again.

I will try this when I have time.

But to be honest, this is always the kind of answer I get when a problem is reported.

Clear data, uninstall, reset, ...

It's getting old.

It seems that lately a problem is never investigated and solved correctly.

This is not the only thread about Smart Connect not functioning as it should.

Why aren't the problems fixed for a change...

I did as suggested. Reinstalled SmartConnect and now everything seems to work again.

But I did founnd a quicker sollution.

From time to time, SmartConnect does not detect the end event with BlueTooth devices.

When this happens, the start event also does not work the next time, as the profile is still active.

When this is the case -> open the profile in Smart Connect -> there is a small "end event icon" (a circle with a line thru)

at the top of the profile. Select this and the end event will run, releasing the profile again.

I saw that the end event ALWAYS fails with my BT headset, if I just turn the headset off.

If I pauze the music first and then swith it off, the end event does work. Any ideas?
