Why should her connection even matter? If my phone was paired to the speaker first, shouldn't it get priority? Or some other mechanism? Hers seems to steal priority no matter what.
She uses a smartwatch and that requires Bluetooth. Plus she's often upstairs listening to a podcast or something. When I turn on my speaker downstairs, it starts playing her podcast instead of connecting to my phone. Like man, I just want to listen to music, not inconvenience her.
My devices headsets, speakers etc will usually try to reconnect to last phone/tablet that it was connected to.
If they connect to tue wrong one, You can usually trigger them to look for a new device, connect to it from your phone, then as long as your phone has BT on when its next turned on, it should connect to your phone first.
Nope, I used the speaker 2 days in a row. Both times I enabled BT on my phone before powering on the speaker. Partner was upstairs, maybe 25 ft away if there was line of sight. I was standing right in front of the darn thing. It still connected to her phone first each time.
Yep it's weird! That's why I'm asking haha
