Windows 10: Keeping the Bluetooth connection alive (or automatic reconnection)

Until last year-summer the Bluetooth connection was working perfectly: the headsets were connecting automatically, once the connection was activated. If for some time there was no sound playing, the headsets were disconnecting automatically, then, when the sound was becoming active again, the headsets were connecting back automatically.

After the latest big update (now I run: 1709 build 16299.309) things have changed: indeed the headsets connect automatically once the Bluetooth is activated, but then if the sound doesn't play for less than 15 seconds the headsets disconnect and then they don't connect again automatically if I play any sound. Personally I truly don't understand how could someone imagine this to be a good idea. I guess the people who wrote the new versions of drivers are completely retarded; there is absolutely no other explanation (maybe someone else has another idea ?). It is very annoying because it defeats the purpose of having wireless headsets.

I know about the Toshiba stack, which runs well on Windows 10 x64 (if someone is interested) and I used it with an old good-quality Bluetooth dongle (but I have only one like this and I keep it for something else. I bought two others and they are completely rubbish, with a very short range).

So, what solutions are to fix these issues ? Any ideas on a good long range BT dongle ?
Now, I run 60 seconds long silence sequence on a light player to keep this BT connection alive (and it works), but is there a way to have an automatic connection/disconnection of the BT, like in the "old-times" ?

Bluetooth keeps disconnecting

Hi all,

I have a similar problem with my 6233 when connected to the Audi A4 hands free kit. It disconnects the bluetooth connection, but the GSM keeps alive, and after some seconds the Bluetooth gets connected again automatically.

Any idea?

mayn thanks

Bluetooth connections dropped intermittently to keyboard, mouse on N8

This problem continues to be unresolved and I'd like to keep the topic alive, in case there's a user who has a possible solution. . .



No matter how many Bluetooth devices are connected, with the exception of a the Jabra headset I use, the connectivity issues continue. It seems as though the Bluetooth connection with the N8 is very unstable.



Often, the device - either the mouse or the keyboard - will cease to function. However, the Bluetooth screen on the N8 continues to report the device is connected. If I manually disconnect, then attempt to reconnect, I will sometimes get a message that the
N8 is "Unable to connect. Maximum number of Bluetooth connections already in use." Thjis can happen even when I've manually disconnected all devices and no active connections are showing.



I find I must then turn off Bluetooth. Wait a moment. Then I restart Bluetooth on the N8 and manually reconnect the devices (the phone permits reconnection, once Bluetooth has been turned off, then back on again).



I have tried deleting and re-connecting each device new, all over again.



Often, when I attempt to manually reconnect even recognized, authorized devices (after the N8 Bluetooth has been turned off, then on again), the N8 requires the device be re-authorized with its passcode.



Has anyone found a way to handle what appears to be a very fragile Bluetooth capability with the N8?
