2015 vs 2017 setting to control bt auto connection

by Max_Roc

I have both gen 16gb units with two pairs of identical Anker BT earbuds. On the 2015 unit, they do not auto connect upon powering on and I must navigate to the accessory and click the button to manually connect, but on the 2017 unit they do auto connect.

I actually prefer the manual connect, because it allows me to have the same earbuds paired to multiple devices.

Is there a setting that controls this?

As far as I can tell, both systems have identical settings. Both are connected to vizio tv's via hdmi and from tv to a soundbar (one vizio,one samsung) via optical.

Both of them also have BT LE Privacy toggled off.

However, one is on wifi and one ethernet.

It might be more on the earbud side. Try connecting the auto ones to something else. Then when they turn on they will try to connect to that and not the shield.
