How can I set Bluetooth connection priority for various devices?

This is very simple. (Meaning that there is only one way to do this!) The bluetooth standard lacks an option for setting a specific priority on a device. This is usually handled by the operating system.

Under bluetooth settings please add (or remove and re-add) the devices to change the priority. The devices should be listed in priority, and attempt to connect in the order listed. If a device with higher priority is available during a periodic scan it should attempt to drop the connection to the current device and reconnect with the higher priority device.

I have actually had this happen to me in my car, that I entered the car with my Mono Headset turned on and talking and after about 3 minutes, my car speakerphone picked up the call.

My devices are listed:

  1. Stereo Headset
  2. Motorola Car adapter
  3. Mono headset
