I always like to have music playing while setting up. I also have music playing while packing up. This is easy to do with a powered speaker with a BT input and a phone. Plug into the speaker in and start playing. At the end of the gig, do the reverse.
Today's gig was an outdoor celebration of life where the video was set up under a car port. As I was packing I had the speaker sitting on a chair with just music playing from my phone. I decided to back my car up to the car port to pack the video stand and some other items. As my car got within range of my phone (which was sitting on the speaker) the phone switched to the car's BT. Those that were helping to pack up were wondering what had happened since I clearly was in the car and not by the speaker.
I have never looked into BT priority but clearly, my phone thought it wise to switch to the car automatically. I obviously could unpair the car to prevent this but I wonder if there are other ways to prevent the phone from automatically switching BT connections. I am hoping there is some setting buried deep within the Android OS that controls this.
