Minor Bitch . . .


. . . No, not Lindsay Lohan.

Automatic: largely or wholly involuntary, acting or done spontaneously or unconsciously, done or produced as if by machine.

Our car has Bluetooth. So do our cell phones. When we turn on the ignition, the phone automatically connects to the car's sound system so we can dial and talk hands-free, using only voice commands. It's so Captain Kirk.

Almost.

When I turn on the ignition, my cell beeps. And beeps. And beeps. When I dig it out of the pouch, there is text on the screen that says: "Automatically connect to Sync?"

Bulletin to the dolts who develop the software for Samsung:

IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, IT ISN'T AUTOMATIC

Isn't there an option like "automatically pair with known devices"?

My phone has automatic pairing - the first time it will ask if I want to pair, after that it just does it when the 'known device' is in range.

Problem solved. There is a command buried about 4 layers deep in an obscure menu that eliminates the annoying question. Nowhere is it mentioned in the manual.

I still cut the dolts at Samsung no slack.

Some of the time these connectors are exposed.
