Fast Bluetooth Connectivity Samsung UN50HU8550

Jan 31, 2015 6:18AM PST

I have Samsung UN50HU8550 Smart TV and LG HBS750 Bluetooth headset. Am able to connect the headset and it's working fine.
But every time I turn on TV and Bluetooth headset, I need to navigate to Menu -> Sound Settings -> Bluetooth speaker list and select the HBS750. It's bit frustrating.

I've upgraded to latest Firmware/Software, But that doesn't help.

I also have Motorola HX550 Bluetooth headset which connects(Shows connection confirmation) immediately to TV when I turn the headset On.

Is there any solution to make my LG HBS 750 Headset to connect immediately to TV (without going to menu and settings)?

Call it in to ask if they can fix it. Before this I only heard of Samsung speaker support. This is progress.

Bluetooth Issue
Jan 31, 2015 10:33AM PST

I don't want to call Samsung for this issue. They'll suggest to use Samsung Bluetooth Speakers.
I want inputs from users who are all using Bluetooth headsets with Samsung Smart TV.

What you are reporting is pretty good news.

So far it's never worked unless we add a BT audio transmitter. At least they have made some progress.

But here we are and generic BT audio appears to be a new thing for Samsung. Why not make that call? They made it and would know if it's broke or not.

Not Hardware Issue

It's not broken. It works If I connect via Menu Sound Settings. But I want auto connect feature which works well on my Motorola HX550 Bluetooth headset. The Motorola HX550 is single ear headset used with Mobile Phone for Phone calls.

Both headsets not from Samsung. So I may get response as to use Samsung headsets.
Want to hear tips from fellow users who use non-samsung headsets.

Let's hope.

In parting, some note they automate such with Logitech Harmony remotes.

Do I need Logitech remote?
Feb 2, 2015 5:37AM PST

So you mean I need to buy Logitech universal remote to use this Bluetooth headset?

I use Logitech K400r keyboard to control my TV. If it has any shortcut key(or I can configure) then It would be great.

Bluetooth connectivity worked
Feb 9, 2015 1:50AM PST

After Latest Firmware (Version 1070) update, the 3D Glasses not getting paired with the TV. So I contacted Samsung Support and the tech support agent told couple of troubleshooting steps including reset the TV. 3D Glasses not getting paired even after the reset. Finally he requested to submit a ticket for support. Am waiting for call/response from Samsung.

But as Side Effect, the Bluetooth headset connectivity started working back (Connecting immediately after turn on the headset). LOL Happy
