Bluetooth calls bouncing between connected devices

[BayouBoy3]

When I have 2 Bluetooth devices connected (smart watch, earbuds) and I'm on a call the Bluetooth keeps jumping from the device I've chosen to talk on to the other. How do I stop this from happening or is there a way? Thanks

It should not happen.  It should stay connected to the device it was connected to first.  Have you cleared the cache partitions from both the phone and the watch?

1. Power off your phone. Hold Power and vol up buttons until Samsung Logo appears

2. Let go of both buttons when you see the Samsung Logo appear on screen. There will be a delay while it enters recovery mode.

3. Use the volume buttons to navigate through recovery menu options and highlight “Wipe Cache Partition.” Press power button to select this option . Confirm by navigating to the yes response and tapping the power button to select.

5. When wiping cache partition is complete, "reboot system now" should be highlighted; press power key to select it . The phone will reboot as normal.

Okay that may be the problem is that it keeps trying to cycle bk to my watch that's always connected. So that's the device it was connected to 1st. Thanks

Try in the Bluetooth connected devices and set one for the media and the other for phone calls,in case u haven't tried that yet

That was not his issue.  His issue is that the ear buds jump between using the phone feature on his watch and the phone while connected to a call. Not that it was jumping from one device to play media and the other for the call.

And that was the issue. I had forgot all about that.

Alternatively, even though it's a bit more inconvenient, you can try this.  Since some BT ear gear can be connected to two devices at the same time, if they are paired with both, they will connect to both when turned on.  In this case, when you put in your buds intending to use them on one device only, you can go to the other device and disconnect the buds.  They will remain connected to the device you chose.  Even if connected to two devices, the call should stay with the device you answered on, not jump from one to the other during a call. Unless you answered by tapping the buds themselves, in which case, I'm not sure it knows which device to answer on or stay with if connected to both.

Every time I turn on my car it takes over my bluetooth even with a BT earpiece in. Hate to have to switch it back everytime

There may be a routine you can configure to not connect to the car's BT when you are connected to the earpiece. This way you don't have to do it manually, or even think about it. See example below.
